Naruto: Talent entry, starting with Otsutsuki bloodline

Chapter 182 The Butterfly Effect, Sasuke Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan

"Lord Hokage, the messengers who delivered the invitations have all returned."

Karin, dressed in a black suit, smiled at Izayoi, who was sitting on a sofa chair made of chakra beads, and spoke in a seemingly respectful manner.

Izayoi didn't see Karin's expression; instead, she was looking at a scroll and asked without looking up, "How did those guys reply?"

"The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, and the Acting Kazekage, Chiyo, both politely declined, citing their advanced age. However, they will each send their sole candidates for the next Tsuchikage and Kazekage to watch the Chunin Exams in Konoha," Karin said. "The Fifth Mizukage accepted the invitation and will arrive in Konoha before the start of the official third round of the Chunin Exams."

"That's exactly what I expected."

Izayoi finally raised her head and asked, "What about Kumogakure and Amegakure?"

"The Hidden Cloud Village declined the invitation." Karin smiled knowingly. "Because during the second exam, Hanabi killed all the Hidden Cloud Village ninjas, and the Fourth Raikage felt that we were humiliating them and was very angry."

"Is the messenger who delivered the invitation alright?"

"No, even if they had a hundred times the courage, they wouldn't dare to lay a hand on our envoy." Karin said this with her back ramrod straight.

"Looks like those roughnecks are finally feeling the pain," Izayoi sneered.

"Hehe... If they knew the truth, their expressions would be priceless," Karin said with a smile.

After learning that Izayoi was 'Otsutsuki Toneri', Karin and Shion were filled with envy for Hinata.

A love that falls from the sky can never compare to a childhood sweetheart relationship that has lasted from infancy, a mutual affection, and a mutual commitment.

He was kidnapped on his third birthday, but many years later, on his birthday, he made the enemy pay a heavy price.

I thought Margaret's necklace was the best gift Izayoi could give Hinata.

Unexpectedly, the destruction of Kumogakure was the best birthday gift.

"What was the response from Amegakure?" Izayoi asked again.

"The Hidden Rain Village has also accepted the invitation, and the Akatsuki leader will be coming to Konoha to watch the Chunin Exams." Karin's expression finally turned serious, and she looked at Izayoi with some concern, asking, "Hokage-sama, are we really going to invite such a powerful ninja to Konoha?"

It's no wonder Karin is so worried; her combat power is far beyond what the Five Kage can handle.

Madara Uchiha's mere departure from Konoha terrified the village, and the Daimyo of the Land of Fire even pressured Tsunade to abdicate prematurely.

If the five Kage were to come to each other's great ninja villages and things turned sour, even the Third Raikage, the pinnacle of the five Kage, would be worn down and killed by ten thousand Iwa ninja.

If a battle breaks out between forces with superior combat power that are on par with those of the five great ninja villages, the consequences could range from the loss of one village, like the Hidden Cloud Village, to the destruction of the village and the killing of all its inhabitants and ninjas.

The Valley of the End, the Land of Rain, and the Forest of the Land of Fire... these three battlefields, which possess superhuman strength, have not yet been restored to their original state and have become permanent scenes.

In response to Karin's concerns, Izayoi simply smiled and said, "Don't worry, your clansman is a good guy, he won't cause trouble."

Every day, he had his wood clones take turns monitoring Nagato and Madara Uchiha. It's no exaggeration to say that no one in the ninja world understands these two better than Izayoi.

Nagato, no longer extreme, and Madara Uchiha, whose Infinite Tsukuyomi plan was thwarted, have both recovered from their chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).

Moreover, since their ideal is to save the world and create peace, they will not kill unless someone stands in their way.

They would even lend a helping hand if someone was in trouble.

Otherwise, Izayoi wouldn't have kept them.

Having suffered two defeats, Madara Uchiha has now fully recovered from his injuries and is leading Obito Uchiha across the world and into different dimensions in search of Isshiki Otsutsuki.

Nagato, on the other hand, used his prestige and strength to restrain the members of Akatsuki, and together with Konan, managed the small village of Amegakure, ensuring the villagers lived happily.

Under their checks and balances, large countries have become more restrained, and small countries have become more docile. The five great ninja villages have not received any high-level requests for a long time; they are mostly escort missions.

Upon waking from her dream, Nagato found herself liking this kind of life and wishing that this peace could continue forever.

In order to maintain this peace, Nagato certainly wouldn't have any intention of causing trouble.

That's why Izayoi invited him.

"Ok!"

Considering Izayoi's strength and his 'Otsutsuki Toneri' persona, Karin nodded confidently.

Squeak!

At this moment, the office door was pushed open.

Hinata, who wasn't wearing a black suit but still a white kimono, walked in from outside with Sasuke Uchiha.

"Lord Hokage, Sasuke-kun has arrived."

Inside the Hokage's office, Hinata also changed how she addressed Izayoi.

"Thank you for your hard work, Hinata."

Izayoi smiled, then pointed to the sofa and gestured to Uchiha Sasuke, saying, "Sit down."

Sasuke Uchiha didn't go over and sit down, nor did he immediately ask Izayoi why he had called him over. Instead, he crossed his arms and teased with a half-smile, "Should I start calling you Hokage-sama now?"

"The form of address remains the same as before, still..."

Izayoi smiled and waved his hand, then suddenly changed the subject, saying, "Just call me godfather!"

"You're still as awful as ever!" Sasuke Uchiha said through gritted teeth.

If he could beat Izayoi, he really wanted to teach him a lesson.

But thinking of the huge amount of his own dark history that Izayoi had on his hands, Uchiha Sasuke could only quickly calm himself down and snorted, "Speak, why did you suddenly call me here?"

Izayoi leaned back in her chair, took a glass of water from Hinata, took a sip, and instead of immediately revealing the purpose of summoning Sasuke Uchiha, asked, "How long has it been since your Team 7 went on a mission?"

"It's been a few months, hasn't it? What's wrong?"

"Do you know why Class 7 hasn't had any missions after all this time?"

This time, Izayoi didn't wait for Sasuke Uchiha to answer before slowly saying, "Because you and Naruto's strength have already reached the level of ace fighters, and if you use Sage Mode, your strength is even greater than Kakashi's. Unless it's an S-rank or super S-rank classified mission, it would be a waste to send three ace fighters to carry out other missions."

"The Fifth Hokage's original idea was to wait until you became an all-around Jonin, then split up Team 7 and Team 8, so that you could play your proper roles."

"I summoned you here today because I want to arrange a good job for you."

At this point, Izayoi's lips curled into a slight smile as he continued, "As my adopted son, you must become someone second only to me, above all others. That's why I've created the position of Anbu Chief, who can command all the Anbu squads. Are you interested?"

Upon hearing this, Sasuke Uchiha's eyes widened slightly.

Staring at Izayoi, he asked incredulously, "Chief of the Anbu, are you sure?"

“Of course,” Izayoi laughed. “No one but you can fill this position. I only trust you.”

Seeing how much Izayoi valued him, Sasuke Uchiha felt a warm current well up in his heart.

The various scenes from the past flashed by like a revolving lantern. There were scenes of Izayoi taking him fishing, then teaching him how to grill, and afterwards entrusting him with the tasks of catching fish and grilling.

There are scenes where Izayoi beats him up, then teases and mocks him, and then points out his weaknesses and flaws, providing various very avant-garde fighting ideas.

There are also scenes of Izayoi repeatedly saving him, teaching him everything she knows, and paving the way for him to become stronger...

Since the destruction of his clan, Uchiha Sasuke has closed his heart.

Over the years, only two people have entered his heart.

One is Naruto Uzumaki, who shares similar experiences with me, and I feel a sense of familiarity when I see him.

Despite being a complete loser, he regarded him as a rival and always wanted to beat him and subdue him.

The other is Izayoi, who is the same age as him, only a little over a month older, but more like an older brother than Itachi Uchiha. He has always been raised by Izayoi in a way that is better than that of his father and Itachi Uchiha.

Although Kurenai was often tricked and his defenses were broken by Izayoi, Sasuke Uchiha was filled with admiration for Izayoi.

This admiration was even stronger than the admiration I had for Itachi Uchiha when I was a child.

The Uchiha are a proud clan, and also a clan that admires strength.

They look down on ninja clans and opponents weaker than themselves. Only those who defeat them can gain their recognition, worship, and even follow.

During the thousand-year Warring States period, only Hashirama Senju was able to do this.

An arrogant ninja demon, and also the number one pillar of the ninja world.

Both being reincarnations of Indra, Sasuke Uchiha's personality is very similar to Madara Uchiha's. Although he always refuses to admit it because of his arrogant personality, he is actually a hidden night owl.

When carrying out missions, he no longer uses the Chidori that Kakashi Hatake taught him, but instead frequently uses the Storm Release technique that Izayoi taught him.

Only Izayoi could make father-son jokes with him.

If it were anyone else, Sasuke Uchiha would have been furious long ago.

Now that he has received high recognition and been entrusted with important responsibilities by his 'adoptive father', Uchiha Sasuke is as excited as a son receiving his father's approval, his whole body is burning with excitement.

However, on the surface, Sasuke Uchiha curled his lip and said with an arrogant expression, "Hmph... Since you have no one else to use, I'll be merciful and give you a hand."

Seeing Sasuke Uchiha's awkward expression, Hinata and Karin, who had long since come to know his personality and character, couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle.

"Then thank you very much." Izayoi, unusually, did not discourage Uchiha Sasuke.

Immediately, Izayoi suddenly said seriously, "Besides this matter, there is another thing I have to tell you when I summoned you this time... It is about the truth of the Uchiha clan's extermination."

As the words fell, the cheerful and warm atmosphere in the Hokage's office instantly turned heavy.

Hinata and Karin stopped smiling and stood quietly to the side.

Sasuke Uchiha's eyes, due to the change in his emotions, involuntarily transformed into three-tomoe Sharingan as he stared at Izayoi, his voice trembling slightly as he asked, "The truth about the massacre of the clan... what does that mean?"

"This is a secret I'm only qualified to know after I become Hokage," Izayoi said with a heavy expression. "I've been hesitating for the past few days about whether to tell you, but after thinking about it carefully, you're a living person, and there's no need for you to become a puppet arranged by someone else."

"So, I'm going to tell you everything I know."

After saying that, Izayoi used genjutsu to pull Sasuke and Hinata into the genjutsu world and showed them the cause and effect of the Uchiha clan's destruction.

Because of the Nine-Tails' attack, the Uchiha clan was suspected by the higher-ups and forced to move their clan's territory from the central town to near the Naka River, where they were also placed under surveillance.

Then came the coup, the death of Uchiha Shisui, the double agent role of Uchiha Itachi, and finally, the massacre of the Uchiha clan, orchestrated by Shimura Danzo using Uchiha Sasuke as a bargaining chip.

After seeing these scenes, Hinata and Karin couldn't help but cover their mouths with their hands, their beautiful eyes welling up with tears, and they murmured, "That's...too much!"

Uchiha Sasuke stared blankly at the images, his expression vacant.

When he saw that Itachi Uchiha, who regarded him as a backup eye, had actually destroyed his clan to protect him, his mind went blank, as if a string had snapped.

A terrifying surge of Yin Release chakra erupted from Uchiha Sasuke's brain and converged in his eyes.

The three black tomoe in the scarlet pupils began to spin like gears, so fast that only black afterimages could be seen.

Click!

The sound, like glass shattering on the ground, suddenly reached Hinata and Karin's ears.

Then, the illusory world before my eyes instantly shattered into fragments.

The terrifying chakra filled the entire Hokage's office, yet it went unnoticed by anyone.

Since Izayoi took office, the Hokage Building has become more lively, with traffic exceeding that of the past.

But the Hokage's office at the very top is different now; anyone can come in now.

Aside from Hinata and Karin, her two personal secretaries, and the Anbu directly under the Hokage, only those summoned by Izayoi and granted permission are allowed to enter the top layer of this walled area, which is filled with spells.

Unless the chakra is strong enough to break through the barrier, Sasuke Uchiha's aura cannot be transmitted outside.

After an unknown amount of time, the three tomoe in Uchiha Sasuke's eyes finally stopped spinning.

Then Sasuke Uchiha's eyelids drooped, and two lines of bloody tears slid down from the corners of his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, a dazzling crimson light shot out from them.

The three tomoe have disappeared, replaced by a black sun composed of six small triangles—this is none other than… the Mangekyou Sharingan!
"Wow... such powerful eye power and chakra!"

Kagura sensed Sasuke Uchiha's current chakra with her Mind's Eye, and Karin murmured in shock.

Hinata, whose strength underwent a qualitative change after awakening her Byakugan and becoming her exclusive eye technique, also felt a powerful sense of pressure from Sasuke Uchiha.

Izayoi was surprised to see the Mangekyou Sharingan pattern on Sasuke Uchiha's face.

Not a six-pointed star?
It seems my actions have triggered a butterfly effect once again.

Since it's not a six-pointed star, Sasuke Uchiha's exclusive eye technique is definitely not Amaterasu or Kagutsuchi from the original work. So what is his exclusive eye technique?
Izayoi was very curious.

At the same time, Izayoi felt that Sasuke Uchiha's pattern seemed somewhat familiar.

That shouldn't be the case. I transmigrated so late in time. When the Uchiha clan was still around, only Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Fugaku, and Uchiha Itachi possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan.

None of their patterns resemble the sun.

How could I possibly find this pattern familiar?
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Izayoi, and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.

He seems to have remembered!
Izayoi had indeed seen the pattern of this Mangekyou Sharingan before, but not in this life, but in the previous life!
This pattern first appeared not in Shippuden, but in later times... Boruto!

The Mangekyou Sharingan with the sun pattern belongs to Sarada Uchiha, Sasuke's daughter.

Good heavens, the father awakened his daughter's eyes—this butterfly effect is just too outrageous!
