Chapter 67 Orochimaru, what's with Orochimaru again?
"Now I can see it; this is your unknown power. I never imagined you would have something like this within you!"
For the first time, Sasuke Uchiha truly witnessed the power of the unknown monster within Naruto Uzumaki.
The leakage of just a tiny bit of chakra has resulted in such an outrageous scale.
"You can actually see me inside Naruto. Your evil Sharingan, this is the power of a cursed clan." Kurama said with great interest.
"Looks like this isn't your first time seeing the Sharingan," Sasuke Uchiha said coldly. "So, you're the Nine-Tailed Fox, aren't you?"
"Your eye power, and your even more ominous chakra, are exactly the same as Madara Uchiha's!"
No sooner had Kurama finished speaking than Sasuke Uchiha crushed it.
"I don't care about that kind of guy," Sasuke Uchiha said with a cold laugh.
"I didn't expect you to be able to suppress my power." The Nine-Tails' dark voice echoed. "Perhaps this is the last time we meet. There's something I need to tell you: don't kill Naruto, or you'll regret it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki were both pulled out of the mental world. Before the others could figure out what had happened, Yamato activated Wood Release, trying to trap Sasuke Uchiha inside, but it was broken in an instant.
Upon seeing the Wood Release technique being used, Itachi Uchiha frowned. This was the second time he had seen Wood Release; the first time was with Danzo, and now he was seeing a Konoha ninja use it.
Could it be that during his absence, Konoha has already been able to mass-produce Wood Release ninjas?
Kakashi Hatake was not surprised, because he had also been a member of Root and was not completely ignorant about Yamato.
In the scene, after breaking through the Wood Release that was suppressing him, Uchiha Sasuke leaped onto the cliff face and stared intently at everyone.
"That's enough for now, Naruto, Sakura. Although I didn't want to use too much force on him in front of you, I'm sorry, but it's time to get serious." Yamato slowly stood up. "We can't ignore someone like him who fled the village like Orochimaru."
"No matter what method we use, we must bring him back to Konoha."
"Konoha? I have nothing more to say to you. It's time to settle this." Uchiha Sasuke spoke quickly, forming several hand seals, and was about to unleash his ultimate move, Kirin. However, at the critical moment, Orochimaru stopped him.
Everyone was shocked to see Orochimaru appear.
"Don't use that technique, Sasuke," Orochimaru said calmly, looking at Sasuke Uchiha.
"Let go," Sasuke Uchiha said directly.
"Honestly, you're talking to Lord Orochimaru so rudely again," Kabuto said, appearing from the side.
"I have no reason to stop," Sasuke Uchiha said coldly.
"You should know about Akatsuki's movements by now, right? I want these people from Konoha to help take care of Akatsuki, even just one of them. If Akatsuki interferes, your revenge plan won't be able to be completed smoothly," Kabuto said slowly.
"What a pathetic excuse," Sasuke Uchiha said slowly.
"Even if it only increases the chances by one percent, you know what I mean?" Kabuto said.
In the end, Sasuke Uchiha seemed to be persuaded, and he just looked at everyone indifferently. Then the three of them turned into a ball of fire and disappeared in front of everyone.
The video ends here, but the shock it has caused is only just beginning to unfold; to be precise, the amount of information in this video is enormous.
Firstly, the timeframe is clearly stated as three years from now, which should be a prediction based on the current point in time.
Secondly, it was confirmed that Sasuke Uchiha, as a descendant of the Uchiha clan, would defect from Konoha. Although the details of the events are unknown, it's not exactly news that Orochimaru coveted Sasuke.
Previous videos showed Orochimaru wanting to get Sasuke Uchiha, and he was only scared off by Kakashi Hatake trying to take him down with him.
"So Sasuke ultimately defected from Konoha? And sought refuge with Orochimaru for revenge?" Although Itachi Uchiha didn't know the whole story, he was able to piece together the truth based on the few known fragments he had.
It was indeed his purpose and plan to make Uchiha Sasuke determined to seek revenge, but when he set this goal, he never thought that Uchiha Sasuke would leave Konoha.
He hoped that his younger brother would become the new ancestor of the Uchiha clan in Konoha, taking root and flourishing there.
"He's complaining that his growth in Konoha is too slow. Under Orochimaru's tutelage, his strength has improved rapidly, surpassing even Kakashi back then. He's only one Mangekyou Sharingan away from becoming a Kage." Uchiha Itachi thought for a moment and roughly understood Uchiha Sasuke's thoughts.
Konoha is too peaceful; it simply cannot support his improvement in the short term.
Orochimaru's teaching skills are truly remarkable, far exceeding Itachi's initial predictions, to have improved Sasuke's strength to this level in just three years.
However, by embarking on this path, Uchiha Sasuke has clearly deviated from the path he was originally planned for. But is this kind of future really good?
"Orochimaru, Orochimaru again." Kakashi Hatake scribbled on a piece of white paper, first checking the timeline.
Judging from previous videos, Sasuke Uchiha should not have come into contact with Orochimaru yet, so it seems there shouldn't be any problems for the time being.
Then it mentions three years later. Looking back, Sasuke Uchiha's defection from Konoha couldn't have been long ago. And considering the time Orochimaru appeared, it was very likely during that so-called Konoha Collapse Plan.
Judging from the fact that Konoha later elected the Fifth Hokage and even the 5.5th Hokage, it seems they have survived this ordeal.
However, although they survived this ordeal, they obviously had to pay a huge price.
Having learned all this beforehand, it's hard not to treat Uchiha Sasuke differently.
However, at the same time, he felt that Uchiha Sasuke was not beyond redemption. He had been in such a dark place back then, yet he still managed to emerge from that environment.
He didn't want to give up on such a promising talent, and even if it was just for the sake of his deceased best friend, he wanted to change the fate of the Uchiha clan.
Now, the Uchiha clan only has two members left on the surface. One became a rogue ninja and slaughtered the entire clan, and the other cannot betray the village, otherwise the price would be too heavy.
