"Shunichi, although we haven't obtained definitive intelligence on Kumogakure's secret weapon, we've been able to deduce a few things," Uchiha Sasuke reported, his expression serious.
Although the details had already been submitted in writing, he still needed to give an oral report after returning to Konoha.
"Yes, I'm aware of all that. Was there anything else?" Uchiha Shunichi casually set the mission report aside. He wasn't particularly concerned about matters like these.
Uchiha Sasuke felt a little helpless at the sight. He had spent ages working on that report...
Just like Uchiha Shunichi, Sasuke thoroughly disliked writing so-called mission reports.
"Shunichi, although we couldn't obtain Kumogakure's weapon in its entirety this time, we didn't come back empty-handed. The village should try developing this kind of weapon too..."
"Also, I was ambushed on my way back from the mission. The enemy wasn't particularly strong, and their objective was my Rinnegan. And... I learned about ruins connected to Kaguya from a prisoner..."
As Uchiha Sasuke spoke, a flicker of unease crossed his eyes.
Uchiha Shunichi hadn't expected Uchiha Sasuke to end up following his original path after all.
In the anime, Uchiha Sasuke had spent long stretches away from home under the pretext of investigating Kaguya's ruins.
Of course, that certainly wasn't the only reason in the anime. Still, some of its events could serve as a reference.
At the very least, Sasuke had investigated for several years in the anime before finding even the slightest trace, and the intelligence he gathered had barely been of any use.
"There's no need to investigate that. I know a little about those ruins out there, but they were all built by later generations. They aren't much use," Uchiha Shunichi said calmly.
Since he knew it would be a wasted effort, Uchiha Shunichi naturally couldn't
