Chapter 252: The younger brother follows in his brother’s footsteps
After expressing her purpose, Tayouya thought it would be easy to get the guy, but she didn't expect Uchiha Sasuke to seem a little uninterested.

Seeing that she stopped talking, Uchiha Sasuke opened his mouth and said the first sentence: "Are you done?"

That cold look clearly said: If there is nothing else, I'll leave first.

This is wrong!

Tayuya suddenly became anxious and frowned, "Sasuke, you really don't want to consider it?"

"What's there to think about?"

Uchiha Sasuke sneered, and reached out to touch the curse seal on his neck. His palm felt slightly hot. "It's just a curse seal. It doesn't have much power."

"I see."

Tayuya understood that he was either trying to raise the price or Lord Orochimaru didn't have enough bargaining chips.

"Konoha Village is indeed stronger than Sound Village. This is a fact, and I am not so blind as to recognize it. But if you stay in Konoha, you must abide by the rules of Konoha. If you want to obtain more powerful techniques, you must first gain enough merit."

"But in the Sound Village, what Lord Orochimaru says is everything." Tayuya raised her hand and pulled down her collar, revealing the curse seal on her neck. "Just like this curse seal, as long as Orochimaru wants to give it, you can take it."

"Sasuke, time is a very precious resource in today's ninja world. I don't need to tell you which one can help you achieve your goal faster."

When it comes to bewitching people, Tayuya has learned some of Orochimaru's style. After just a few words, Uchiha Sasuke's face showed a hint of hesitation.

He needed strength, and he needed it badly.

In the original work, the reason why Uchiha Sasuke defected from Konoha was partly because Uchiha Itachi came to show his presence, and partly because Uzumaki Naruto's rapid growth in strength made him feel a sense of urgency.

"Even Naruto, who is a laggard, has caught up with me, but I still haven't made much progress."

This thought can be said to be the last straw that broke the camel's back for Uchiha Sasuke.

In the original work, he was a lone man, but now, he is the only remaining hope of the Uchiha clan.

If he defected, the Uchiha clan, which already had a bad reputation in Konoha Village, would be even worse off. In that case, I wonder how much pressure would be on my mother's shoulders.

So now Uchiha Sasuke will never defect. The reason he hesitated is that he is thinking about another thing.

As Tayuya said, if you stay in Konoha, you have to abide by the rules of Konoha.

Accumulate merits and exchange them for more powerful techniques, so as to improve your strength. However, if your strength is insufficient, you can only perform lower-level tasks.

Just like this time, Team 7 accepted the mission of escorting supplies to the Kingdom of Wind. The journey was long and time-consuming, and it was only a B-level mission. If you want to exchange for a ninjutsu like the Flying Thunder God Technique that can produce a qualitative change in personal strength, you don’t know how many B-level missions you have to complete to accumulate enough.

But if we leave these two people behind...

No, this is not enough. They are just two of Orochimaru's minions. If we can catch Orochimaru, that would be a real achievement.

Uchiha Sasuke's eyes lit up slightly, then he hid it and said coldly: "Not enough."

Tayuya's face darkened, revealing a threatening look: "Uchiha Sasuke, greed is insatiable, it is wise to know when to stop!"

"Then I won't go." Faced with the threat, he simply chose to give up.

"You!" Tayuya suppressed the anger in his heart, took a deep breath to calm himself down, and then continued, "What do you want?"

Uchiha Sasuke opened his eyes and sneered: "Let the entire Sound Village serve me? Then I can also say that I want the entire Uchiha clan to serve me."

"Can that be the same?"

"Why is it different?"

"The Uchiha clan is now only strong on the outside but weak on the inside. There are not even a few ninjas left. How can they compare with Orochimaru?"

Facing these words, Uchiha Sasuke was not angry, but simply replied: "In my opinion, Orochimaru is the same. In his words, stop making empty promises. If you don't come up with something practical, who will follow you?"

Tayuya tightly grasped the flute at her waist, her eyes burning, "What if, combined with the information about Uchiha Itachi?"

"What did you say!" Uchiha Sasuke's expression changed suddenly, and his pair of scarlet double-magatama Sharingan stared at her like a man-eating beast.

Tayuya chuckled twice. As expected by Lord Orochimaru, the offensive and defensive situations were different now!
"You always bring up Konoha. Do you think you are the Hokage? Do you regard Konoha's power as your own?"

"If you weren't Uchiha Itachi, why do you think Lord Orochimaru would notice you, a descendant of the Uchiha who grew up in a cradle?"

After that, Tayuya took two steps forward and walked behind Uchiha Sasuke. He paused and continued without looking back: "In terms of personal strength, compared with Lord Orochimaru, you are just a bug like this fallen Uchiha clan."

Uchiha Sasuke clenched his fists, suppressed the anger in his heart, and gave his answer: "I need time to think about it."

"One day, is that enough?"

"enough."

The moment this sentence came out, the sound of instant body movement came from behind. Uchiha Sasuke knew without looking back that Tayuya had already left.

He reached out and touched the ninja tool bag at his waist, then put it down and returned home.

Standing in front of his house, Uchiha Sasuke took a deep breath, adjusted himself a little, smiled, opened the door and shouted: "I'm back!"

……

……

the next day.

Uchiha Sasuke came to the Senju clan's territory carrying a lunch box. He almost never came here on his own initiative unless invited.

After ringing the doorbell and waiting for a while, the door opened to reveal a surprised Hinata Kiyomi behind it: "Sasuke?"

"Sorry to bother you." Uchiha Sasuke nodded slightly, walked to the entrance and changed into slippers.

"What happened?"

"There are indeed some things..." Uchiha Sasuke looked around, then frowned and asked, "Where is my sister?"

Hinata Kiyomi closed the door and wondered in his mind which one he was talking about: "Are you talking about Izumi?"

"Ah."

"She went out for something."

Uchiha Sasuke held the teacup, forgot the purpose of his coming here, and asked instead: "Tell me the truth, is she... the Izumi I know?" Over the years, Izumi often went back to visit her mother. She didn't disguise herself too much, and it was not difficult to find out if you observed carefully.

Besides, at this point, there was no need to continue hiding it, so Hinata Kiyomi nodded: "Yes."

Uchiha Sasuke asked anxiously: "Then why didn't she tell me..."

"Because Uchiha Izumi is dead." Hinata Kiyomi interrupted him, picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, and licked his slightly dry lips.

"...That's what she answered me at the beginning, but...if she denied the identity of 'Uchiha Izumi', why did she always go back to visit her aunt?"

"Alas, you think too much. This sentence actually means literally."

"Literally?" Uchiha Sasuke was stunned for a moment and retorted, "But she is obviously alive and well."

"In fact, I also advised her not to take matters of life and death so rigidly." Hinata Kiyomi sighed. To this day, he still cannot fully understand Quan's original thoughts.

After saying this, he looked at Sasuke in front of him and explained: "At that time, Uchiha Izumi had been killed by Uchiha Itachi. However, for some reason, she unconsciously activated the Uchiha clan's ultimate illusion - Izanagi."

"Izanagi?" Uchiha Sasuke frowned slightly.

He seemed to have seen this technique on a scroll within the clan, but at that time he did not read on after seeing that the prerequisite required the Mangekyō Sharingan.

"You don't know?" Hinata Kiyomi was speechless. They were really family members. Who would understand...

"Izanagi, at the cost of permanently sacrificing one eye, rewrites all facts that are unfavorable to oneself, including death. But Izumi activated this technique unconsciously. After waking up, she was very stubborn and believed that Uchiha Izumi was dead."

At this point, Uchiha Sasuke understood: "That's why she will become your maid and continue to live in this world with a new identity."

"Well," Hinata Kiyomi nodded, "Let's stop talking about Izumi and talk about your own business."

Uchiha Sasuke told everything that happened last night.

In the same mission, the fewer people involved, the more credit each person gets. So Uchiha Sasuke did not report the matter to the Hokage, but came alone to find Hinata Kiyomi.

He had a big appetite and only wanted to share it with Hinata Kiyomi.

As for the possibility of failure, Uchiha Sasuke had also thought about it. Anyway, Hinata Kiyomi had the Flying Thunder God Technique and could escape at any time, and he himself... was unlikely to die. If Orochimaru came to him, he must have some needs.

So, take a chance and turn your bicycle into a motorcycle!
"what do you think?"

Hinata Kiyomi held the teacup in his hand and shook his head slightly: "There is a reason why Orochimaru has been at large for so many years. It is not difficult to defeat him, but it is difficult to catch him."

Hearing this, Uchiha Sasuke was a little discouraged: "Just cutting off his claws... that's enough, it's better than nothing."

"I suggest you don't do that."

"why?"

"When you do something, you must cut the root of the problem. You have destroyed his years of hard work, and what you will get in return will be the revenge of a lonely man." Having said this, he paused and looked meaningfully at Uchiha Sasuke in front of him.

"I don't need to say how scary it is to be a person without any attachments."

Uchiha Sasuke noticed his eyes and sneered, "That's why Konoha didn't dare to cause trouble for Uchiha Itachi for so many years."

Speaking of Itachi, Hinata Kiyomi suddenly remembered that this person seemed to owe him a favor.

Do you want to use it quickly?
"What are you thinking about?" Uchiha Sasuke asked.

"Sasuke." Hinata Kiyomi called out, his eyes becoming slightly hot.

Uchiha Sasuke instinctively felt something was wrong: "What... do you want to do?"

"Why don't you just defect?"

"what?"

"What I mean is that you go undercover under Orochimaru."

Uchiha Sasuke fell into silence, and after a while he asked, "Why should I do this?"

"Didn't Orochimaru promise you a lot of things?" Hinata Kiyomi leaned forward slightly, getting closer to him. "I personally suggest that you work for him for a while, take what he gives you, and then return to Konoha as an undercover agent. You can also get some credit and have the best of both worlds."

"And Orochimaru is a man with some talent. In addition to the scientific and technological knowledge he possesses, his own strength, such as the Orochi-style Substitution Technique, is a necessity for you."

When it comes to things that can enhance strength, Uchiha Sasuke's eyes light up: "What is that?"

"Orochimaru's exclusive substitution technique imitates the movement of a snake shedding its skin. After shedding its skin, it can recover from all injuries it has sustained. The cost is a high consumption of chakra."

After hearing his explanation, Uchiha Sasuke suddenly understood why Hinata Kiyomi said that this was a necessity for him.

In the Chunin Exam, Uchiha Itachi once displayed the Mangekyō Eye Technique - Amaterasu.

He returned home that day and looked through books to find out the effect of the spell: it locks with the eyes and releases a black flame that will not disappear until the target is burned out.

Uchiha Sasuke has no ability to dodge this technique, but if he can master the Orochi-style substitution technique, he will have a card that can restrain Uchiha Itachi.

"what should I do?"

"What else can we do..." Hinata Kiyomi really couldn't hold it in any longer, and looked at him as if he was a fool, "Just agree to Tayuya tonight and follow her, it's that simple."

"That's not what I'm talking about," Uchiha Sasuke retorted, and then added, "If I defect, Konoha will have to react. If you don't help me arrange things here, how can I escape from a group of jonin, Anbu, and Root?"

Hinata Kiyomi touched his chin, thought for a moment, and said, "My real body is not in the village... How about this, I'll go talk to the Hokage, and then let Naruto hunt you down, how about that?"

To be honest, he was somewhat dissatisfied with the current Naruto.

Uzumaki Naruto faces the same dilemma as Uchiha Sasuke, and his strength has stagnated for a long time.

Apart from the Rasengan and the Wind Style Rasenshuriken, for which he just created a folder, he has not mastered any other techniques.

Because of the butterfly effect brought about by Hinata Kiyomi, Uzumaki Naruto has never been in real danger so far, which means that his biggest cheat is completely useless.

This is no longer a question of whether the Nine-Tailed Fox pays the rent, but that Uzumaki Naruto can't use its rent at all.

Hinata Kiyomi was still thinking about improving the strength of the two brothers, sending one to fight the Mizukage and the other to fight the Thunder Kage, and then he would go to fight the Tsuchikage and directly speed through the Ninja World dungeon.

We can't let him do all the work, wouldn't that make him a model worker?
