" Hokage Advisor, Danzo... Danzo... Heh heh, hahahahaha!"
His smile was maniacal, and his cold, chilling eyes were fixed on the figure before him. He was dressed in Black Cloak, and the cloak embroidered with the Uchiha Clan crest on the back fluttered in the wind.
"Why? Why did you allow Uchiha Itachi to harm the Uchiha Clan when you clearly had the ability to protect them? Do you know what he was thinking when he wielded the sword against Mom and Dad to protect the clan?!"
The next second, a deep purple bone structure was erected, Susanoo appeared before Huayue's eyes. Cold arrows, wreathed in black flames, were aimed at the teacher who had once taught and helped him.
" Uchiha Huayue, get into your fighting form, use your Silent Blood Armor! This time, I will avenge my brother and destroy the entire Konoha."
"Those guys, those guys are wantonly slandering Itachi's reputation and enjoying the peace brought about by the sacrifice of the Uchiha Clan. I will never allow those ugly guys to live in this world!"
However, a strange laugh came from beneath the Three-Eyed Demon Fox Mask.
"Battle mode? What kind of adult takes a child seriously? Besides, what makes you think that your brother, Uchiha Itachi, made the right choice?"
The moment the words left his mouth, they further agitated Uchiha Sasuke, whose already fragile nerves were stretched to the limit. An arrow flew from his hand, traversing countless dimensions to strike the figure of Huayue.
"Don't look down on me! I am the one who awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, a powerful being who surpasses countless Sharingan, not some child you once taught!"
A fierce roar, a howl that echoed across the fields, startled a flock of wild beasts and birds into flight.
"Is that so? Then prove it with your strength. You are an outstanding ninja. Try to see if you can even scratch the hem of my clothes."
Under Sasuke's astonished gaze, Huayue's ethereal figure slowly emerged from the Susanoo's arrows.
Amaterasu, which is said to be able to burn everything, did not even leave a trace of its heat on Huayue's robes.
A gentle breeze swept by, Sasuke bringing Sasuke back to his senses, who was still basking in the glow of his increased power. The being before him was no longer an enemy he had ever faced before.
Whether it's chakra, ninjutsu, or even the Mangekyō Sharingan that I'm so proud of, my opponent possesses them all, and is even more proficient in them than I am.
"This is what you call the God of Shinobi? This is the eye technique of your Mangekyō Sharingan? The Illusionary Moon Technique, which is ineffective against all physical attacks, is indeed troublesome, but everything that exists must have a weakness!"
Arrows flew from his hand, and the figure before him was like a flower in a mirror or the moon in the water. Everything seemed illusory, yet it was real before Uchiha Sasuke's eyes.
"Indeed, most of the side effects of ninjutsu stem from insufficient chakra, and the Mangekyō Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan consumes even more chakra, which is even more pronounced in my eye techniques..."
At this point, Huayue changed the subject, a smile playing on her lips.
"But I have already resolved this weakness, and even the eye technique you used unconsciously clearly shows this."
In an instant, Sasuke was utterly horrified. He subconsciously looked at the arrow in his hand, and the regular patterns hidden in the chakra made him freeze on the spot.
"That's right. The Silent Blood Armor has the characteristic of actively gathering physical and mental energy for the user when it is not activated. Otherwise, how could someone your age support the consumption of Susanoo?"
"Furthermore, you've got some things wrong, Uchiha Itachi. The choice your brother made was just wishful thinking on his part."
"Even if a coup really breaks out in Konoha, apart from me, what ability do the three hundred or so Sharingan users of the Uchiha Clan have to fight against Konoha?"
The cold words pierced his chest like a knife. Uchiha Sasuke bewildered, but then he remembered his memories of his brother, and his expression instantly became resolute.
"No! My brother is perfect. He could never make a mistake. The one who made the mistake is you. The people who made him commit this crime are the Konoha High Command, the Third Hokage and Danzo!"
"Unforgivable! Absolutely unforgivable! Blaze Release: Susanoo Kagutsuchi!"
As the arrows struck again, a hint of purple eyeshadow subtly appeared at the corner of her eye. Huayue raised her right hand and clapped it slightly.
Whoosh!
With a whooshing sound, the Susanoo arrow was slammed into the valley below, splashing up countless droplets of water Uchiha Sasuke's disbelief.
"Perfect? If there is anything truly perfect in this world, it is the legendary god. Uchiha Itachi is not perfect; he is just an ordinary person who is confused about his own life."
"I don't understand his motives. For the sake of Konoha's peace, he's willing to ruthlessly kill another group of innocent clansmen. It seems that his understanding of a clan is somewhat different from our understanding of a clan."
After a slight pause in the conversation, Huayue removed her mask, revealing a radiant smile.
"What do you think the Uchiha Clan is, Sasuke?"
Upon hearing the question, Sasuke answered instinctively without thinking.
"Dad, Mom, the old Big Mom at the convenience store, members of the Konoha Military Police Force —they're all from the Uchiha Clan..."
"You see, this is your understanding of the Uchiha, while your brother, Uchiha Itachi, understood the Uchiha Clan as a name, a reputation that is passed down in the Ninja World."
Huayue's explanation only confused Sasuke more, and he couldn't help but ask a question in return.
"What does my brother mean by the Uchiha... reputation?"
"That's right, reputation. Once the Uchiha Clan launches a rebellion, many powerful clans in Konoha, such as Sarutobi, Hyuga, Nara, Akimichi, Yamanaka, and Inuzuka, will rise up to attack them."
"A mere three hundred or so Uchiha with the ability to resist are nothing more than pebbles that can't even make a splash in the hands of the major ninja clans of Konoha, and will ultimately be branded as fools."
Upon hearing this, Sasuke fell silent. If it were him, he would have been utterly powerless against such a behemoth as Konoha before activating his Mangekyō.
"Your brother, Uchiha Itachi, is a product of the distorted underlying logic of the Ninja World."
"He is both Uchiha Clan and a double agent for Konoha. He can't tell whether what he's doing is right or wrong. He only knows how to maintain Konoha's peace according to his own wishful thinking."
Sasuke trembled slightly, covering his head with his hands and his ears.
"Stop talking, stop talking! I told you to stop talking!"
"With missions come conflict, and ninjas rely on meager salaries to carry out missions that disrupt peace in order to earn money to support their families."
"This is the twisted logic of the Ninja World. If you want to fulfill your brother's wish and embrace eternal peace, you must start by destroying this world."
As if a demon were whispering in her ear, Huayue extended her right hand to the agonizing Sasuke before her, her smile gentle.
"Would you like to come with me and fulfill your brother's wish, Sasuke, to embrace peace...?"
