Overwhelming strength! The despair of falling too far behind to even see his back, Sasuke learns the truth of the massacre

Naruto and his Konoha comrades stood frozen in place, staring intently at the direction where Wu Chiwu disappeared.

What's the point of chasing them? They're just too fast; you can't even tell which way to go.

They just vanished without a trace?

He was gone before I could even see his back?

It all happened in the blink of an eye.

The person was taken away right under their noses, without even a chance to fight.

Is the gap in strength really that unreasonable?

"This is terrible," Shikamaru sighed, then continued, "Things are getting increasingly difficult."

Shikamaru turned his head and glanced at Kiba Inuzuka standing behind him.

"Teeth, can you even tell which way someone went with your nose?"

"I'll try."

Chakra Kiba Inuzuka all his chakra into his nose.

This is a secret technique passed down in their family; it can instantly enhance their sense of smell to tens of thousands of times that of an ordinary person.

He examined it carefully for a long time, and finally shook his head.

The scent was so faint, as if it were separated by thousands of miles, that you couldn't smell a single hair.

"Akamaru." Kiba Inuzuka called Akamaru over.

"Woof woof..."

After all that fuss, Kiba Inuzuka finally spoke to Shikamaru.

"Still no solution."

"We have absolutely no idea where they ran off to."

"Okay, I understand."

Shikamaru had already considered this outcome in his mind.

Just as I expected.

Based on what Wu Chiwu just showed, even if they catch up, they have no chance of defeating him.

The most urgent task is to get this information back to Konoha as soon as possible.

"That's incredible!" Rock Lee of the Team Guy was still replaying the scene in his mind, and couldn't help but exclaim.

He knew this guy was not to be trifled with back in the Chunin Ninja Exams.

But when you actually meet them face to face, you realize just how ridiculously different they are.

There wasn't even a chance to fight back...

"I hope nothing serious happens." Neji nearby, lowered his eyelids.

What exactly did he mean by taking Sasuke Uchiha away?

What are they planning?

"Lord Kimimaro, we..." Tayuya looked at Kimimaro's dark face, her voice growing softer and softer.

Kimimaro remained silent, raising his eyelids to look at the woods not far away.

After a long while, he slowly uttered two words.

"Let's retreat."

There's no point in staying here any longer now that the mission has failed; he needs to hurry back to report to Lord Orochimaru.

That white-haired ninja was too fast; I couldn't catch even the slightest movement of him.

What's this person's background?

Kimimaro was unaware that he had just missed out on two vessels that Orochimaru had been craving for a long time.

He led the Sound Four back to Otogakure in a flash.

Wu Chiwu, soon sensed movement inside the sack.

He woke up already?

Wu Chiwu on his hand and began to ponder it seriously.

What to do?

The explanation hasn't been finalized yet.

Well, it should be said that our Uchiha Clan was saved by a passing sage, so there's no need for us to go looking for any pills for revenge.

Or should we just expose everything they've been pretending to be dead and hiding from someone?

I have a feeling that if I actually do that, I'm afraid I won't get away with it.

It's as unlucky as losing everything in a bet on Three-Color Dango...

Wu Chiwu frowned deeply, pondering earnestly.

Why do I feel like I've fallen into a huge pit?

It must be an illusion, definitely an illusion.

"Hey, you bastard!"

"Let me out right now!"

Just as I was pondering this, Sasuke's clear, bright voice burst out from the sack.

Wu Chiwu his hand and untied the sack, and Sasuke inside sprang out.

"Damn you, second brother, what are you doing?" Sasuke's eyes burned with fury.

"Haha..." Wu Chiwu rested his chin on his hand and blinked.

"That's not important!"

"Actually, there's something I forgot to tell you."

"It's just..."

Wu Chiwu picked and chose, and before Sasuke could even process what he had done, he quickly recounted the general events Sasuke had committed.

Sasuke's expression kept changing as he listened.

It looks like a paint palette has been spilled.

"That's pretty much it, hahaha..."

Wu Chiwu Sasuke flashed a bright smile.

"So..." Sasuke suddenly spoke up.

"You dare forget something like this?"

"Damn it!"

Across from him Wu Chiwu blinked his Azure eyes in surprise.

Is that all the reaction you're going to get?

This didn't cause as much of a stir as when he leaked Sasuke's cross-dressing photos last time.

That doesn't make sense.

Logically, he should be...

In reality, Sasuke on the other side wasn't as furious as Wu Chiwu had imagined.

At the very beginning, when he learned that Wu Chiwu's death and the Uchiha Clan Massacre were all a scheme orchestrated by his second brother, he was truly devastated.

He felt incredibly stupid for hating himself, Itachi, Konoha, and even the whole world all these years.

Neither his second brother nor his eldest brother gave him a single word beforehand.

But this anger vanished strangely the moment he saw his second brother's irritating yet familiar smile.

Instead, a sense of peace welled up inside me.

These past few years have been so lonely, I've been bearing it all by myself, it's been so exhausting.

It turns out there was someone else carrying the burden alone, moving forward on their own.

Sasuke didn't press Wu Chiwu the details Wuji had vaguely mentioned, nor did he ask why he was only speaking now.

My second brother probably has his own difficulties and ideas, after all, he has so many responsibilities on his shoulders.

I'm so weak.

Let alone beating that stubborn eldest brother to wake him up, even keeping up with the second brother would be a struggle.

Sasuke lowered his eyelids, thinking silently.

Since my second brother has already done so much behind the scenes, we can't let him walk the rest of the road alone.

I also need to work hard to become stronger.

Even if he's the older brother, you can't always rely on him.

He also wanted to live a life that people could proudly talk about with others.

A very, very long time passed.

Wu Chiwu and Sasuke had just finished speaking.

Sasuke planned to go and take a look at the Uchiha Clan Compound that Wu Chiwu had mentioned.

Wu Chiwu then returned to the Akatsuki.

Akatsuki camp.

Wu Chiwu took the Three-Color Dango and lay down on the big tree.

Something's not right.

Has Sasuke been having some weird daydreams going on in his head?

"There seems to be something wrong with his gaze."

"Am I overthinking it?"

Several months later, in Konoha, at the Hokage Building.

"That's all the intelligence the Anbu has gathered."

Tsunade and said with a stern face.

The Akatsuki has been making increasingly big moves lately.

What exactly are they trying to achieve by traveling around various countries?

This mysterious organization used to be kept very secret.

Why are you suddenly traveling between different countries so frequently?

"By the way, how's the investigation going?" Tsunade asked again.

Ever since Sasuke was taken away by that white-haired ninja, Konoha has never been able to find him again.

"We haven't found any clues about Sasuke Uchiha yet." The Anbu Ninja shook his head.

"Okay, I understand." Tsunade nodded.

What was that white-haired ninja after in capturing Sasuke?

Judging from what Naruto said, he clearly had the opportunity to get rid of them during the Chunin Ninja Exams, so why did he choose to do it at that time?

Could it be an order from the Akatsuki?

What's the point of that?
