After Sasuke learned that Naruto became Jonin, he strengthened his training and began to do his own tasks, striving to become Jonin as soon as possible.
As for Kakashi and Sakura?
Kakashi As Elite Jonin and having a family, I have been extremely busy these days.
Sakura couldn't keep up with Sasuke, and now he is following Ino on the mission.
Konoha is full of waste, let alone Jonin, Chunin can't wait to use one as two.
Shikamaru became Temporary Chunin Team Leader 0 of teams Choji, Ino, Hinata and Sakura, Neji also became Temporary Chunin Team Leader of Rock Lee, Tenten, Kiba Inuzuka.
Shino was temporarily dragged to the Ninja Academy to take Combat Training Class.
Because Shino missed it when assigning tasks, and it was finally filled in to the Ninja Academy.
Just today, after completing the mission and returning home, Sasuke suddenly felt something was wrong.
Someone seems to be entering the house?
Sasuke opened Three-Tomoe Sharingan vigilantly and checked the home.
He sniffed at the same time.
Does it smell like blood?
Why does my home smell like blood?
With this in mind, he took out Kunai from Ninja Tool Pouch, walked lightly into his home, and began to look for the thief who had sneaked into his home.
Soon, he heard a slight movement.
When he opened the door, he saw a sight he would never forget.
Uchiha Fugaku is wiping a long knife stained with blood, and on the ground is the dead body of Uchiha Mikoto.
"Dad? Mother?"
Aren't they dead?
Is it Genjutsu...
"Are they your Parents? The woman on the ground is indeed dead, but the man is still alive. This is not Genjutsu either. I Sensing know it very well."
Indra's words were given to Sasuke Uchiha Tail Burst.
It was like tearing open his wound, pouring a bag of salt into it, sewing it roughly with a rusty iron needle, and then pouring denatured alcohol on it, which made Sasuke Uchiha feel great mental pain.
"You're back, Sasuke."
Fugaku finally finished wiping the knife and threw the red cloth beside Mikoto.
He turned around and looked at his son.
In those eyes, on the scarlet background, the complex and strange Mangekyo Sharingan pattern slowly rotated. There was no excitement of meeting again after a long separation, no panic of the conspiracy being revealed, and not even a trace of warmth.
There is only a bottomless, cold indifference, as if looking at a tool, or an obstacle that needs to be dealt with urgently.
"I didn't expect you to discover it. I originally thought that my Feign-Death Escape Plan would be perfect, but it's still a bit off."
"What do you mean?"
Sasuke is shocked, what Feign-Death Escape Plan?
"Don't you understand yet?"
Fugaku sighed softly, but that sigh was full of undisguised disappointment and contempt.
"Compared to Itachi, you are really disappointingly stupid.
Haven't you already turned on Mangekyō Sharingan?"
He took a step forward, his steps were steady and full of pressure, the tip of the blood-stained long knife drooped slightly, reflecting the cold light.
"Mangekyō Sharingan, this representation of the ultimate power of the Uchiha Clan, is flawed."
He stated slowly, as if teaching a cruel lesson.
"It will deprive the user of the light little by little as it is used, until the dark night of Eternity.
And I don't want to accept such a fate.
In order to obtain the flawless power of Eternity, which is Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, I carefully planned all of this.
The death that night and the 'annihilation' of the Uchiha Clan were just a trap set by me to get rid of Konoha's surveillance, hide myself, and wait for the best opportunity."
Sasuke's breathing completely stopped.
The blood of his tribe, Itachi's sin, the hatred and loneliness he carries...
Is all this just a stepping stone paved by his father in pursuit of the so-called "Eternity power"?
Uchiha Fugaku slowly approaches Sasuke.
"It's a pity that I waited for you for so long, and finally waited for you to open Mangekyō Sharingan. Just when I was about to take away your Mangekyō Sharingan, your mother betrayed me and wanted to come and tell the truth.
For my Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, I can only ask her to die."
As he spoke, he observed Sasuke. Three Tomoe in Sasuke's eyes was spinning rapidly, but it did not turn into Mangekyō Sharingan.
"Trash."
He spat out two cold words.
"Watching my mother die in front of my eyes, I still can't turn on Mangekyo Sharingan?
Just because I'm your father?
Are your emotions and your pain so cheap and powerless?"
Before he finished speaking, Fugaku's figure appeared in front of Sasuke like a ghost.
The cold blade, carrying the aura of death, gently touched the skin on the side of Sasuke's neck, causing a slight shudder.
Sasuke felt as if his soul had been sucked out of his body, and he stood motionless. The huge impact of information and emotional collapse caused him to temporarily lose the ability to react.
"It seems that you have lost even this last value."
Fugaku's voice was close at hand, carrying the meaning of judgment.
"The eyes of a coward like you must not have awakened the powerful Dōjutsu. Then I can only... kill Itachi."
"Do you know? Itachi betrayed the village not because he killed the entire clan, but because I slaughtered the clan members who opposed me and betrayed me."
"He drew the sword to protect you, but what he killed was Shadow Dancer, who I trained and looked similar to your mother and me.
And Itachi is the son I admire most. I don't have the heart to kill him, but Feign-Death Escape is waiting for you to open Mangekyo Sharingan."
"You are just a loser. If the loser dies, what is there to feel bad about?"
"I don't love you at all. The Mikoto who loved you was killed by me because I missed you too much. After killing you, I can only choose to kill the Itachi who loved you to open the Eternity flower tube."
"If you had the powerful Dōjutsu, your mother and brother would not have died at all."
"Do you understand, Sasuke?
It is your incompetence and your cowardice that have led to everything happening today.
Your mother's death, your impending death, and your brother's destined death in the future.
It was your incompetence that killed everyone who loved you. Originally, it would have been fine as long as you died."
Sasuke's eyes widened to their maximum size, and his eyes were about to burst.
This guy... what on earth is he talking about?
All the sounds, images, breaths, and touches, mixed with his father's cold words, were like huge waves, completely drowning Sasuke Uchiha.
He felt something explode deep in his skull, and liquid poured out of his eye sockets in a controlled manner.
Those were not tears, but sticky Blood Tears with a faint fishy smell, sliding down his pale cheeks, leaving two dazzling red marks.
His eyes widened to the extreme, and the dark pupils trembled and shrank violently under the scarlet eyes.
Past, present, future; love, hate, lies, betrayal, death...
Everything is spinning, broken, and reorganized in this scarlet vision.
At this moment, the world completely collapsed before his eyes, or was about to re-condensate into a completely different form, full of extreme pain and darkness.
"Uchiha...Fugaku!"
