I rely on myself

Chapter 711 Showdown
After the final Kazekage arrived, the third round of the Chunin Exams could naturally begin. With the simple opening ceremony over, in addition to the referee Genma Shiranui, the two contestants of the first match, Neji Hyuga and Naruto Uzumaki, were left on the field.

As for the other contestants, they of course went to the surrounding viewing platforms to wait. Uchiha Sasuke had already seen this opportunity and immediately took advantage of it to block the people from the Snow Country.

"It's you again, Uchiha Sasuke."

Seeing Sasuke blocking the road, the people of the Snow Country certainly didn't have a good look on their faces. The most impatient Chiyomi even said directly: "We have already expressed our attitude very clearly before, so why are you still here?"

When Sasuke heard this, he glanced at Chiyomi and said rudely: "This is a matter between our clans, and you, an outsider, have no right to speak."

Without waiting for Chiyomi's answer, Sasuke turned to look at Rei and said bluntly: "Tell me, how many of the tribesmen survived after that night, and are they all in the Snow Country now?"

Seeing Sasuke looking down on him and not understanding the situation, Lie naturally didn't have any good impression of him.

However, he still stopped Chiyomi who wanted to say something. After all, although he didn't have a good impression of her, she was right about one thing, which was that this was the internal affairs of their Uchiha clan and should naturally be resolved by themselves.

"In what capacity do you ask me this?"

Lie looked at the former second young master of the clan in front of him, an ambiguous look flashed in his eyes, but he asked a question without being affected at all. The moment Sasuke heard this question, he was a little confused, not knowing what the other party meant.

"What do you mean?"

"Don't you understand... No! You are not willing to admit it. Well, let me make it clear. I am asking you, in what capacity are you asking me about the situation of the clan? Are you the former second young master of the Uchiha clan, or the younger brother of the murderer who almost killed the whole clan, or are you in another capacity? Depending on your answer, I will respond to you with different attitudes. Is that ok?"

“………Hmm…”

Lie's words left Sasuke speechless. Just as Lie said, it was self-evident how complicated Sasuke's identity was now, so Lie threw the question directly back to the other party and let Sasuke choose for himself.

Naturally, Sasuke didn't know how to answer this question, but fortunately he was a quick-witted person. After thinking about the positions represented by the three identities mentioned by Rei, he quickly made a decision and answered.

"I am asking this as the former second young master of the Uchiha clan. Although I know it is a little too late to say this, let me still say it. I am sorry. Although I don't know the details of that night, I also understand that what that person did must have caused great harm to the clan. But I can swear that I will definitely seek revenge on him. This is why I have been working hard to pursue strength."

When talking about 'that person', Sasuke's face undoubtedly showed hatred, and even the tone of his voice became gritted teeth, which shows how strong the hatred in his heart is.

At least to Yi Lie or other people around him, this hatred was not false. On the contrary, it was even too strong.

Sasuke's appearance reminded Lie of some ideas that were circulated in the clan three years ago. Those were some secrets about the Sharingan. It was said that they were spread by Lord Lin Yuan, the daimyo of their Snow Country, and were highly credible.

Now, looking at Sasuke's performance, Lie verified it one by one with what Yinmi mentioned, which was undoubtedly an indirect proof. Although thinking about these things, Lie still had a blank expression on the surface. After Sasuke expressed his own realization, he looked at him for a long time, and then slowly spoke.

"Choose this? It seems like you really have no idea."

Hearing Rei suddenly say this, Sasuke suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, but he couldn't change his words now, so he immediately shouted: "What do you mean? Are you going to regret it?"

"Oh, don't be so anxious, and don't get me wrong, what I said before is that depending on your answer, I will treat you differently. Of course, I will tell you everything I know."

"........."

Seeing Sasuke's tacit agreement, Rei smiled and then became serious. He said, "Before I tell you the answer, there is one more thing I want to tell you. It's about your parents."

"Father and mother?! What's going on?"

Upon hearing the news about his parents, Sasuke could no longer maintain his calmness and spoke excitedly, but in contrast, Rei's face became gloomy.

Lie looked at Sasuke's excitement and spoke directly in a tone as if he was suppressing something: "On that night, our good clan leader Uchiha Fugaku was actually aware of Uchiha Itachi's actions, and he himself had the opportunity to stop it, but he did nothing.

That's right, you heard it right. Regarding Uchiha Itachi's killing of his clan members, your father, the former head of our Uchiha clan, chose to do nothing and just wait at home. How absurd is that! ! "

Having said that, Lie could no longer suppress the emotions surging from the bottom of his heart.

As the patriarch of a clan, Uchiha Fugaku is undoubtedly unqualified. His wavering stance, like that of a fence-sitter, is most obvious.

Since the Nine-Tails Rebellion, the situation of the Uchiha clan in Konoha Village has been getting worse and worse due to suspicion, and the number of dissatisfied clan members has been increasing. Under this influence, Uchiha Fugaku said that he wanted to resist, but he kept giving in when faced with suppression from Konoha's high-level officials, and he couldn't please either side.

Even on the night of the genocide, he watched helplessly as his eldest son, Uchiha Itachi, killed one clan member after another. In the end, he had no intention of resisting and let Uchiha Itachi take his life.

“…Perhaps in his opinion, he failed in his duty as a father, so he was willing to die at the hands of Uchiha Itachi, but he never thought about his responsibility as the head of the clan. On that night, Uchiha Itachi was undoubtedly the most hateful, but your father Uchiha Fugaku was only slightly inferior.

So now you understand, the former second young master of the Uchiha clan, why have we, the remaining members of the Uchiha clan, never contacted you in the past six years?"

"........."
