Konoha: I, Uchiha, just want to die.

Chapter 373: The Lost Wanderer

"Just like you tried your best to save Uchiha Setsuna, and were willing to fight a country alone for revenge."

The old man burst into tears, and at this moment he finally let go of all his arrogance.

Like a gladiator seeking death,

Bow down and plead with the most hated enemy,
"Please allow me to save my family!"

#
The lightning that rose from the ground streaked across the sky, dragging a long tail of white light, and disappeared like a meteor into the huge hole in the sky that was split open by the great force.

The scorching sun finally jumped out from the top of the mountain, and through the "window in the sky" that had been opened in the clouds, its glow spread over the mountains and fields.

This battle in which one man defeated an entire country finally came to an end.

The cool breeze of the morning blows across the earth.
Blowing across the vast battlefield full of devastation,
Only Uchiha Ci was left sitting alone on the ruins, staring into the distance in a trance.

[Your talent: Three Magatama Sharingan (Cursed, Sage Form, S) is affected by the violent emotional fluctuations and has undergone some strange changes. ]

[Your three-magatama Sharingan is evolving towards a unique Mangekyo path that has never been seen before.]

[Note that in non-combat mode, your combat intuition cannot exempt you from the damage to your mind caused by the Mangekyō Sharingan.]

[The evolutionary path of the Mangekyō Sharingan was interrupted by an unexpected situation, but a kind of eye technique derived from the Mangekyō Sharingan of this evolutionary path was retained.]

[Mangled Flower Eye Technique: Rapid Susanoo (right eye).]

[Dissatisfaction with the rules of this world makes you emotionally believe that this is the world's fault, so you have an extreme idea to correct this world. You want to create a new world where the people you cherish will never die and can live in peace.]

[When the kaleidoscope blooms, everything you do is a reflection of your soul! ]

[You crave the power to change everything, and the Mangekyō Sharingan responds to your prayers, and this eye technique was born for this purpose.]

【Hayasu Susanoo-no-Mikoto: In the Kojiki, Susanoo asked the grain goddess Ogi Tsuhime for food. Ogi Tsuhime took out food from every orifice of her body, but Susanoo thought she was feeding him filth, so he got angry and killed the goddess.】

[Effect of Kaleidoscope Pupil Technique: To be explored.]

[Note that the use of Kaleidoscope Eye Technique is accompanied by the risk of irreversible blindness. ]

【when! 】

[You just defeated the Third Raikage Ai. You obtained his random skill: Lightning Release: Black Thunder (A, Mastery).]

[Your attainments in Lightning Escape are already very profound, you can try more Lightning Escape operations. ]

[The number of layers of your Heart Steel has increased. 】

Before my eyes, a long row of subtitles flashed by.

however,
At this moment, Uchiha Ci was in no mood to watch.
As for the ability to fight, the moment you get it, it will be engraved into your brain and the muscles of your body under the effect of mastering all kinds of martial arts, so you don't need to worry too much.

What really concerned Uchiha Ci was,
It was what the Third Raikage Ai said -

The great elder Uchiha Setsuna is not dead.

In the Battle of Hell Valley, he was rescued by Minato Namikaze, and now, he is still alive and well in the Uchiha clan.

but,

Why didn't he tell himself?
Why didn't anyone tell myself?

Why didn't Minato tell me this information when he saw me?

Why didn't Kakuzu, who was entrusted by the Uchiha clan to have a conversation with him, tell him this information?

When the Third Raikage finally told this, Uchiha Ci immediately realized:

The information he obtained was deliberately concealed.

There seems to be a force,
I am pushing myself to keep moving forward in this direction.

Towards this forbidden power that can destroy everything, to obtain this power that kills people like slaughtering dogs and crushes everything,

keep going.

So what is the meaning of his fighting all the way?
Who is he fighting for?

Are you fighting for the future you want, or are you being swept along, moving in the direction that some people expect?
And this power hidden behind the scenes made Uchiha Ci think of,

There are only two.

The first one is naturally the Pot King Shimura Danzo.
In the ninja world, if you want to find someone to take the blame, Danzo is definitely a master at it.
The previous incident in which Minato Namikaze suddenly went crazy and ran to assassinate the daimyo was closely related to Danzo. Uchiha Ci had always believed that it was because the other party had contacted Danzo, but now it seems that it is not that simple.

It seems that Danzo has really become the one to take the blame.

According to Minato, the place where Danzo met him was in the Uchiha clan.

The Uchiha clan was also involved in the subsequent assassination of the daimyo.
The Uchiha clan was involved in the founding of the Akatsuki organization.
Just when he broke through the first line of defense of Kumogakure and Mangetsu's Byakugan couldn't even see him, the support of the Uchiha clan was immediately sent by Sasori.

It seems that everything that happens in the Land of Lightning involves the Uchiha clan and is being closely watched by this clan.

but,

In any of the series of battles, the Uchiha clan seemed to be hiding very deeply, behind the scenes, doing some insignificant marginal work.

He provided Minato with information about the daimyo's son, Ryuzoji Sutani, provided himself with weapons and armor, and provided Akatsuki with a skilled fighter like Kakuzu.
Through this proficient technology of manipulating silk threads, a large net was secretly laid down, constantly marking the direction for Uchiha Ci to move forward from the side.

When this fighting technique is used in strategy,
This made Uchiha Ci, who possessed the superb level of shuriken wielding technique, feel extremely familiar.

Although he had to admit that his IQ was not very high, but at this point, the facts that were already in front of him forced Uchiha Ci to admit that,

Yes,

This is something that only Uchiha Setsuna, the only remaining grand elder of the Uchiha clan, can do!

but,

Why did the old man do this?
What puzzled Uchiha Ci even more was that
Why, he's doing this now?

The way he was treated was unlike the old man he knew.

This method is completely different from the one used by the little old man who added a transcription seal to himself in the Hell Valley and gave him the Kaleidoscope Eye Technique: Heaven's Eternal Standing.

It's more like a stranger who doesn't trust me.

For a moment, one question after another lingered in Uchiha Ci's mind, making him feel confused and at a loss.

This made him want to find out the answer.
But I am also afraid of getting an unsatisfactory answer in the end.

Uchiha Ci hated this feeling.

because,

The real world is always imperfect
#
now,

In the distance, to the north of the silent battlefield, at the 100,000-meter Dayan River, a rumbling sound of fighting suddenly rose again.
The 70-meter-tall four-tailed beast was pinned down by the giant toad holding a pipe in its mouth.

After a tremor, the earth
The battle came to an end.
This huge movement also slightly awakened Uchiha Ci, who was sitting on the ruins in a daze.

Make him raise his head,
And the next moment,
A familiar, cute, and slightly chubby girl's face appeared before my eyes.

The sunlight from the rising sun passed through her tassels and her eyes, and fell on Uchiha Ci, who had a troubled look on his face.

Mei Terumi glared at him unhappily and angrily pulled his hand.
"What are you staring at!"

"gone!"

"Have you forgotten? We still have to go rescue Hidan!"
