Avengers of the Whirlpool Family

That flowing black hair, that round fan logo on the clothes, and that familiar cold face.

This figure was none other than Uchiha Sasuke.

This is the road that I cross with ease.

The figure was hidden in the thick darkness for only a short moment.

Sasuke came to a shrine.

This was once the most important place for the Uchiha clan, where they worshipped their ancestors and gathered clan members for high-level meetings.

Sasuke looked around.

Then he leaped forward.

I came directly to the stone slab at the innermost side of the shrine. I gently lifted the stone slab, revealing a deep and dim road.

Sasuke also jumped down without any hesitation and went straight to the innermost position.

Chapter 158 Erzhuzi's Determination

In a spacious and cold underground chamber.

This was once the Uchiha clan's top secret location.

Only the clan leader, elders and a few others can enter at will. Other clan members need permission to enter the most important areas. After the Uchiha clan was destroyed, this place became a place where the high-ranking people of the Hidden Leaf Village could trample on it at will.

However, thanks to a special agreement, neither the Uchiha clan's base nor this special place was destroyed. Sarutobi Hiruzen was not the kind of person who would do that kind of thing, but Shimura Danzo wanted to, but he couldn't.

That is why the most special stone slab still exists in this restricted area.

Sasuke walked straight down and came directly to the stone slab, and his Sharingan opened directly.

Two extremely black magatama appeared in his pupils.

Sasuke looked at the top content on the stone slab with an expressionless face, and subconsciously clenched his right hand.

"This is not the place for me to stay. Power, I need more power!"

Thinking back to the duels he saw in the Chunin Exam more than ten days ago, whether it was the huge monster transformed by Gaara, or the powerful chakra aura erupting from Menma, they were all powers that far exceeded his current limits. Either of these two could easily defeat him.

Sasuke currently does not have a clear understanding of things like the tailed beasts and the jinchūriki. From his perspective, he just sees two peers possessing power that he cannot reach. This is unacceptable to the proud Sasuke.

Subconsciously, he reached for the special curse mark on his neck.

Sasuke took a deep breath.

"Buzz!"

With a thought in mind.

In a flash.

The stimulated chakra seemed to be a curse seal that came alive in that instant. After a tremor, it spread rapidly and covered the entire body with dark symbols.

Sasuke showed a look of pain for the first moment.

He bit his lower lip tightly, trying hard to suppress the pain. In order not to scream out, he bit his lip too hard and it broke, and blood oozed out.

That was just less than two or three seconds.

Sasuke felt as if he had spent an extremely long and torturous time.

By the time the body is covered with the pitch-black and extremely unique curse runes, the pain that you gradually get used to can completely offset the special touch.

next second.

It seemed like a very abundant power that could be felt.

Sasuke's right hand clenched and unclenched slightly.

There was a hint of coldness in his subconscious, but only a few seconds later, Sasuke's expression became extremely hideous and terrifying.

"Not enough, not enough, this amount of power is totally not enough!!!"

The power boost provided by the first form of the curse seal alone is completely unable to satisfy Sasuke at the moment.

Now, whenever Sasuke closes his eyes, all he can think of is the devastating performance of Menma and Gaara.

What he needed was strength that could match or even surpass those two men.

Because the height and strength displayed by that man were so terrifying and so out of reach.

When I think of the time after the Chunin Exam when we met again after so many years.

Sasuke's face became extremely hideous and scary.

The hellish nightmare memories came back to my mind, and my body and mind were tortured all over again.

"How can you fix this! How can you fix this! How can you fix this, Uchiha Itachi!!!"

The difference in strength can be felt clearly.

The chakra aura became even more terrifying.

Sasuke's anger threshold also reached its peak from that day on. Even after ten days of rest, all his injuries had been healed under the highest level of medical treatment in the Hidden Leaf Village.

But the pain on the mental level was still burning Sasuke's heart.

When I think of Uchiha Itachi's cruel and indifferent look.

Sasuke's heart was filled with thousands of huge waves.

Under the double stimulation, he has now completely fallen into the abyss of craving for power, and his heart has long been devoured.

For strength.

He's even willing to make a deal with the devil!

"Since this place doesn't satisfy me, let's leave!"

The long-sleeved figure of Menma was reflected in Sasuke's scarlet and pitch-black Sharingans, and he slightly clenched his right hand.

There was also a hint of coldness in his pupils.

This is a determined decision.

Even if there are some different changes from the original work.

But Jiji's inner desire for power has not changed at all. The strength of Gaara and Menma, as well as the scenes in the Chunin Exams are all deeply engraved in Jiji's heart.

He could no longer tolerate such slow growth.

What he wants is to become stronger in the shortest possible time.

And Orochimaru!

It is obviously his best and only choice.

then.

One night a few days later.

When the four Sound Ninjas, following the orders of Orochimaru, sneaked into the Hidden Leaf Village again with the help of the spies who were still lurking in the Hidden Leaf Village and came in front of Sasuke.

"Let's go."

This time, Sasuke in this time and space did not refuse at all.

If the contact has been made in advance.

He looked at the four Sound Ninjas with a cold expression and spoke in a calm tone.

"Yes, Sasuke-sama."

The four Sound Ninjas, who had already received personal instructions from Orochimaru, immediately knelt on one knee and spoke with a look of respect.

"This is what Lord Orochimaru prepared for you in advance. Once you enter it, you can activate the second form of the curse seal and gain stronger power than before."

Jirobo, the most muscular man, took off the wooden barrel as big as a person that he was carrying on his back, placed it in front of Sasuke, and said with his head down.

After hearing that the power of the curse seal could be made stronger, Sasuke did not hesitate at all and stepped directly into the wooden barrel.

Not worried about any problems here at all.

Because Sasuke is truly fearless now. He only desires power, which is his only obsession.

After Sasuke entered the barrel, Jirobo also covered the barrel perfectly with a special sealing rune.

Then put it back on your back.

The group of four also leaped up and headed quickly towards a location outside the Hidden Leaf Village, under the protection of someone.

The four Sound Ninjas came easily and left easily. They easily avoided the outer defenses of the Hidden Leaf Village and embarked on the road back.

They had to return this Uchiha boy, whom their Lord Orochimaru desired very much, as soon as possible. This was the death order the four of them had received.

Chapter 159 Another one!? (Third update)

Sasuke left without any regrets.

He has also officially embarked on the future path he has chosen. His life has been distorted by his own brother, so he doesn't think that his choice is wrong at all. And his behavior is obviously not what Itachi wants to see.

You have to know that in Itachi's script, he wanted to see his younger brother become a hero who protected Konoha in the future, and he himself was the stepping stone arranged for his younger brother. Whether it was the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan or killing the rebel ninja Uchiha Itachi, all of this was the future that Itachi had set for Sasuke a long time ago.

It’s a pity that Itachi didn’t understand the principle that everything will turn into its opposite when it reaches its extreme.

His high pressure, his indifference.

All of these made Sasuke walk on a path that Itachi himself could not have predicted. In the original work, the final result was indeed what Itachi wished for, but this process was definitely not what Itachi wanted to see. Didn't he know who Orochimaru was?!

In Konoha, Itachi can still control things, but with Orochimaru, Sasuke has to rely on himself for everything.

If any accident happened during this process, his own brother would be gone.

This definitely touched Itachi's sore spot.

But just like Itachi's actions, he had no intention of telling Sasuke at all.

Itachi had no control over Sasuke's own choices.

Sasuke's future.

It really is up to Sasuke himself to take control.

And it is impossible for Sasuke, who left with the Sound Four, to keep the secret forever. Even if someone helps to cover it up, the truth will eventually come to light.

No matter how weak Konoha is, it is still the top existence in the ninja world today, and any clues can easily lead to an investigation.

It only took less than half a day.

It is very likely, no, it is almost 100% certain that Uchiha Sasuke's defection information appeared directly on the desk of Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage.

"What did you say!? Uchiha Sasuke defected?"

Tsunade stood up suddenly and asked in a high-pitched voice while looking at Shizune in front of her.

Although the identity and uniqueness are not as good as above.

But as the only member of the Uchiha clan left in Konoha, Uchiha Sasuke's status is not comparable to that of ordinary ninjas.

That represents the most powerful eye technique in the ninja world - the Sharingan!

Such a ninja with a special identity defected.

This is a big deal for Konoha, and Sasuke is also a member of Team 7. Counting Menma who defected earlier, two people defected from Team 7 in less than a month.

This made Tsunade, who had just relaxed a little because the situation in Konoha had just stabilized, feel upset again.

She was not in the village before and had no intention of taking care of these things, so naturally she didn't understand.

But now after taking over the position of Hokage, Tsunade learned the inside story of the Uchiha clan's destruction and Uchiha Itachi's special identity.

This is not only because Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu will definitely tell Tsunade, but also because the Hokage has the power to investigate all the village files and supervise all affairs.

Including Danzo's Root, if Tsunade is really determined, it is not impossible for her to intervene forcibly, but she has to consider the possible problems that may arise afterwards.

Therefore, the affairs of the Uchiha clan and the relationship between Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke.

Tsunade is clear about this.
