Damn! Was it genjutsu? When?!

Damn it! Is it Genjutsu? When?!

Orochimaru had seen a great deal in his life, and he had seen all sorts of things, but he had seen very few Mangekyō Sharingan.

The last time Orochimaru saw the Mangekyo Sharingan, he lost an arm.

If Itachi Uchiha hadn't unintentionally killed Orochimaru, one of the legendary Three Sannin, it would have been a miracle if the two of them had escaped with only Kabuto Yakushi providing cover.

Now, Orochimaru has actually seen the Mangekyou Mangekyō Sharingan on another Uchiha commoner orphan, Uchiha was even publicly claimed to be a useless person who hadn't even awakened his Sharingan, Chunin Exams in the Forest of Death.

This shock was no less than any piece of intelligence in the world.

"Bakana!" Orochimaru muttered, unable to move his hands and feet.

In his view, the level of the Mangekyō Sharingan could only be achieved by a genius like Itachi Uchiha under extremely demanding conditions.

This unknown brat could not possibly have such eyes!

Those were the eyes that Itachi Uchiha obtained by killing his own clan!

Looking back at the history of the Uchiha Clan, how many Mangekyō Sharingan have been born in the decades since then?

Even Uchiha Sasuke, who was known as the Uchiha genius, only activated his One-Tomoe when he saw the scene of his entire clan dying!

You should know that above the One-Tomoe are the Two-Tomoe and Three Tomoe, and that's how you get the Mangekyō Sharingan!

How could this brat possibly possess such precious eyes!

However, Orochimaru was unaware of an even more absurd fact: the seemingly "ordinary" Mangekyou Mangekyo Sharingan was actually an Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.

However, since Orochimaru Mangekyo Sharingan before, he couldn't tell the difference at all, even though the Tomoe of Uchiha Yu had a touch of gold.

In just ten seconds, Orochimaru thought about a great deal. He eliminated almost all the impossibilities and finally came up with an answer that seemed unrelated but was actually quite meaningful!

Then there can only be one truth!

Transplanted by someone else!

Who could it be?

Oh!

I've figured it out!

Orochimaru's smile returned. Mistaking Uchiha U for Madara Uchiha Yu him, he spoke again, "Since you are so interested in Hiruzen Sarutobi's life, I can give it to you. However, I would like to know the intentions of the person behind you."

"Oh? You don't want to cooperate?" Uchiha Yu looked up and stared into Orochimaru's eyes.

No, I just wanted to know.

"Want to know?" Uchiha Yu narrowed his eyes. "Go ask me about my Big Ball Rasengan!"

Uchiha Yu really disliked Orochimaru's self-righteous, all-knowing look.

Since Orochimaru in this timeline has no feelings for me, I might as well just beat him up!

The Sage Art: Big Ball Rasengan in Uchiha Yu's palm exploded with a bang, and the violent chakra tore Orochimaru's body into countless pieces of flesh and blood!

The flying limbs crashed through two giant trees, creating scarlet splashes in the stream.

"Splash!"

A small, blood-stained white snake shot out from the shredded flesh! Orochimaru's chilling thoughts were reflected in its Orochimaru eyes. "How does this kid know Senjutsu?! This is a power that the Mangekyō Sharingan can't explain!"

Senjutsu is even harder for Orochimaru to break than the Mangekyō Sharingan!

If the Mangekyō Sharingan can be explained by transplantation from Madara Uchiha, then Senjutsu is truly inexplicable!

You should know Jiraiya although Jiraiya sounded like an idiot when he was young, he was actually a genius ninja who was one in a million.

With his Sage Mode, he was invincible and a true Konoha powerhouse, surpassing even Hiruzen Sarutobi in overall strength.

Even a genius like him spent decades learning before mastering Sage Mode.

Even if Uchiha Yu, that little kid, started training from the womb, he shouldn't have mastered Sage Mode by now.

Key!

How could he still know the Big Ball Rasengan!

For the first time in his life, Orochimaru felt that his brain's computing power was insufficient!

He really couldn't understand what kind of person Uchiha Yu was.

Orochimaru was desperately seeking answers and fleeing for his life, but Uchiha Yu had no intention of giving chase. He shouted at the top of his lungs, "You can do whatever you want with the Cursed Seal! Don't interfere with my business, so we can meet again in the future!"

Orochimaru almost coughed up a mouthful of blood!

His original body was almost killed, so how could they possibly meet again in the future!

But how could this guy possibly know about the Cursed Seal?!

Something's not right!

Nine out of ten floors are not right!

Filled with doubt, Orochimaru sped toward his initial target— Uchiha Sasuke.

Meanwhile, the three protagonists of this world, having just bypassed the Ino-Shika-Cho Trio, continued their journey at a faster pace.

Sakura Haruno's short pink hair was lifted by the air currents. She straightened her bangs and stole a third glance at Sasuke beside her.

The boy, who would usually leave her three meters behind, now allowed her to run alongside him, almost touching his arm.

"Sasuke-kun, would you like to rest?" Sakura tentatively offered a water bottle, her fingertips trembling slightly with nervousness.

Unexpectedly, Sasuke took the water bottle and tilted his head back to gulp it down. As his Adam's apple bobbed, water droplets leaked down his chin, making Sakura's ear tips turn bright red.

"Baka! Baka!" Naruto suddenly darted between the two from behind, his blond hair standing on end like an angry fox. "Sakura-chan, I want some water too!"

"Hmph, what are you drinking!" Sakura Haruno thought that Sasuke should drink the water he had drunk, and Naruto shouldn't drink any more of it!

Sasuke glanced at Naruto's puffed-up face and suddenly reached out to hand him the water bottle. "Here, have a drink."

This action caused both of them to freeze simultaneously.

The Sasuke of the past would never have been so understanding.

"It's really strange," Sakura muttered to herself, staring at Sasuke's profile.

Sakura tries to get closer to Sasuke and casually straightens his crooked ninja tool bag.

As a result, the boy who used to be cold and aloof to girls in my memory is now letting her tidy up for him!

Suddenly, Sakura Haruno's brain won out over Azuki's, and she pulled out Kunai and held it to Sasuke's neck!

"Stop!"

Naruto turned around and saw Sakura about to attack Sasuke, and he was dumbfounded. "Sakura-chan! What are you doing!?"

"He's not Sasuke-kun! He's an imposter!"

Naruto, reminded, slapped his forehead. "Ah! Yeah! Sasuke definitely wouldn't use your water bottle! It must be fake! Good! Sakura-chan! Well done! But when was it replaced?!"

Sasuke saw his two young companions acting foolishly at this moment and smiled wryly, "I don't know how to explain this to you two."

As he spoke, he easily broke free from Sakura Haruno's Binding Vow, and with a leap, landed on the top of a large tree branch. "To make a long story short, I am Sasuke, but I am Sasuke with memories from twenty years in the future."

Naruto scratched his head, "What are you babbling about, Sakura-chan? Something's definitely not right with this Sasuke!"

Sakura was about to say something when she suddenly noticed a white snake crawling on Sasuke's shoulder!

"Sasuke-kun! Watch out! A snake!"

Sasuke simply hummed in agreement.

The next second, the snake bit Sasuke's neck!

Sasuke, however, wore an expression that said, "That's only natural."
