Naruto: Talent entry, starting with Otsutsuki bloodline

Chapter 186 Kakashi: Whose head is this? Sasuke: Obito Uchiha!
A black hole the size of a fist appeared out of nowhere and then rapidly expanded.

Sasuke Uchiha's figure flew out from inside.

Looking at the expressionless Uchiha Sasuke, Izayoi only needed to sense his emotions to know the outcome of the battle, and asked knowingly, "He's dead?"

"Ah."

Sasuke Uchiha nodded, but he didn't feel the same joy as after killing the enemy.

Sasuke glanced at Itachi Uchiha, whose expression was complicated, and said to Izayoi, "I'm tired. Let's go back."

Izayoi raised her hand and patted Uchiha Sasuke on the shoulder, but did not say any words of comfort.

"Sasuke..."

Just as Izayoi was preparing to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave with Sasuke Uchiha, Itachi Uchiha's voice suddenly reached their ears.

Izayoi stopped manipulating her chakra and watched Uchiha Sasuke with great interest, curious about his next reaction.

Sasuke Uchiha took a deep breath, then turned his back to Itachi Uchiha and said coldly, "You traded your clan for my life, and I have no right to kill you. But... I don't care about your eyes, and I hate having your eyes replaced. I... will never forgive you!"

"Izayoi, let's go."

"Row."

After glancing at the dazed Itachi Uchiha, Izayoi nodded with a hint of lingering interest, then teleported back to the Hokage's office with Sasuke Uchiha.

As Itachi gazed at the spot where the two had disappeared, Sasuke's words, "I will never forgive you," echoed repeatedly in Itachi's mind.

The very pillar that has sustained me through life seems to have snapped.

"puff……"

The hot liquid he had just swallowed surged back into his throat, and Uchiha Itachi could no longer bear it, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Her already seriously ill body suffered a sudden and significant drop in energy and spirit.

Pain more intense than death will torment this true ninja every single moment to come.

……

"Izayoi-kun, Sasuke-kun, you're back."

Hinata and Karin, who were helping Izayoi with his affairs, immediately got up and came over.

Izayoi nodded, then looked at the dejected Uchiha Sasuke and asked, "Do you want revenge? I can help you."

While the others didn't understand what Izayoi meant, Sasuke Uchiha knew that Izayoi was asking if they wanted to retaliate in kind and wipe out the families of those who participated in the massacre.

Sasuke Uchiha felt a warmth in his heart, deeply moved.

Despite being the Sixth Hokage of Konoha, Izayoi was willing to help him take revenge. Izayoi's unwavering support for him offered a sliver of comfort to the currently fragile Uchiha Sasuke.

At the same time, he shook his head and said, "No need, I am not Uchiha Itachi."

Itachi Uchiha was able to be ruthless enough to attack innocent people who knew nothing about it, but Sasuke Uchiha could not do such a thing.

After all, when the Konoha ninjas cursed Uchiha Itachi in the original story, even though Uchiha Sasuke had already turned to the dark side, he still didn't kill him. He even restrained Hozuki Suigetsu from killing indiscriminately.

That's why Sasuke Uchiha will never forgive Itachi Uchiha.

If his choice had been to spare Sasuke Uchiha and allow the Root organization to slaughter the rest of his clan, including his parents, Sasuke would have forgiven him and would have retaliated without hesitation.

However, Itachi Uchiha chose to take matters into his own hands.

This is unforgivable!
Uchiha Sasuke had no right to kill him, nor did he have the right to forgive him.

"Even if we don't kill you, we can still punish you," Izayoi laughed. "From now on, you'll be the head of Konoha's Anbu, second only to the leader. You can do whatever you want."

Upon hearing this, Sasuke Uchiha was immediately intrigued.

He thought of the Uchiha clan, who were forced to relocate from the central town of Konoha by the Konoha elders.

The central street, which originally belonged to the Uchiha clan, was also divided up by these guys.

Although those people were innocent and unaware of the situation, the fact that they devoured the flesh and blood of the Uchiha clan to strengthen themselves is undeniable.

Sasuke Uchiha told them to vomit up double whatever amount they ate, so they could experience what it felt like for the Uchiha clan to be targeted by Danzo Shimura.

As if he had found his goal, Sasuke Uchiha finally regained some motivation and nodded to Izayoi, saying, "Okay."

"Go back and rest for a few days, and come back to work when you're fully recovered." Izayoi patted Sasuke Uchiha's shoulder again and said with a smile, "If you have any troubles, feel free to come and talk to me anytime. If you need any help, just come and tell me. Don't overthink things."

"Ah."

Sasuke Uchiha nodded, then as if remembering something, he took out a box made of wood release and handed it to Izayoi, saying, "These are that guy's eyes. His eye technique is pretty good. I'm giving them to you."

"Okay, I'll take it."

Izayoi smiled and accepted the box.

Hinata awakened her unique eye technique, and Sasuke Uchiha awakened the Great Sun Spirit. In fact, Izayoi no longer cared much about Kamui.

However, Izayoi was still very gratified that his adopted son had given him such precious eyes. It was clear that he hadn't spoiled this guy for nothing.

Now that the knot in his heart about the massacre of his clan has been untied, Uchiha Sasuke will be his number one henchman from now on.

The Mangekyou Sharingan grants control over the incredibly powerful Great Sun Spirit. Once Sasuke Uchiha awakens the Rinnegan, he will become Izayoi's first Six Paths level subordinate.

From now on, any hard chores can be dumped on this all-powerful worker.

After leaving the Hokage Building, Sasuke Uchiha did not immediately go to Orochimaru, but instead went to the Konoha cemetery first.

"Sasuke?"

Just as Sasuke Uchiha entered the cemetery and before heading to the area specifically for burying the Uchiha clan, carrying a box also made of wood release, he heard a familiar voice.

Looking in the direction from which the sound came, a familiar figure came into view—it was Kakashi Hatake.

"Kakashi, what are you doing here?" Sasuke Uchiha asked, still in his usual rude manner.

"I came to visit a friend."

Kakashi Hatake, who knew what kind of personality Sasuke Uchiha had, didn't care about his disciple's attitude.

After giving a casual reply, he stared at the box in Uchiha Sasuke's hand, his dead-fish-like right eye narrowing slightly as he said, "What's inside this box..."

"Heads".

Seemingly sensing Kakashi Hatake's probing, Sasuke Uchiha didn't hide anything either, saying, "This is the head of a traitor from the Uchiha clan. I'm going to use his head to pay tribute to my clan."

Upon hearing this, Kakashi Hatake was immediately surprised and said, "Besides Itachi Uchiha and you, there are actually other survivors from the Uchiha clan?"

It's no wonder Kakashi Hatake was so surprised, because he was one of the members of the Uchiha clan's ANBU who was responsible for cleaning up the area back then.

Not only did he clean up the corpses, but he also had to record the names of the dead and then use the Uchiha clan's genealogy to determine if there were any survivors.

As a result, apart from Itachi and Sasuke, everyone's name on the Uchiha clan's genealogy was marked with a large red cross.

Kakashi Hatake was naturally surprised to hear that there were still survivors of the Uchiha clan.

Sasuke Uchiha naturally had no idea why Kakashi Hatake reacted that way.

He simply smiled coldly and said, "This is a traitor who faked his death to escape, and also one of the murderers of the night of the massacre."

It turns out that Itachi Uchiha wasn't the only one who wiped out the Uchiha clan!
Kakashi Hatake's eyes narrowed slightly again, and the mystery that had puzzled him for many years was finally solved.

Recently, he finally mastered the power of his left eye and successfully awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan. His eye technique is Kotoamatsukami, which is extremely powerful.

However, this kind of power cannot be described as a "dimensional reduction attack".

On the night of the massacre, Itachi Uchiha did not activate Susanoo. With his unique eye technique alone, he would not have been able to wipe out the Uchiha clan, which was full of powerful members, in one night.

Sasuke Uchiha's words now confirm Kakashi Hatake's thoughts.

As expected, high-ranking officials were involved in the massacre.

Thinking of this, Kakashi Hatake looked at Sasuke Uchiha with some worry in his eyes.

Soon, Kakashi Hatake was even more surprised.

It's not hard to tell from Sasuke Uchiha's words that he already knows the truth about the night of the massacre, and even guesses that high-ranking officials were involved.

Why was he so calm?

Logically speaking, given his personality, he should have become extremely extreme.

Could it be because of the Hokage?

Kakashi Hatake couldn't help but think to himself.

However, it was a good thing that Uchiha Sasuke didn't lose control. Hatake Kakashi didn't dare to ask why, so he changed the subject and asked, "What's the name of this traitor?"

"His name is Uchiha Obito."

Sasuke Uchiha was unaware that Obito Uchiha was Kakashi Hatake's teammate. After leaving behind that name, he headed towards the Uchiha clan's territory, leaving Kakashi Hatake standing there dumbfounded.

“Obito… how could that be?” Kakashi Hatake murmured. “Perhaps… it’s just a coincidence of names?”

But Kakashi Hatake knew very well that this was not a case of sharing the same name.

Because he had seen the Uchiha clan's genealogy, and among the recent generations of Uchiha clan members, there was only one Uchiha Obito.

Furthermore, after Obito Uchiha sacrificed himself in the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, he became a Konoha hero whose name was engraved on the Martyrs' Monument.

Out of respect for this hero, none of the Uchiha clan members have named their descendants after Obito.

The Obito Uchiha that Sasuke Uchiha was talking about was the person he was thinking of.

Could it be that Obito didn't die?
If he didn't die, why didn't he return to Konoha?
Why would someone as kind as him join Itachi Uchiha in wiping out the Uchiha clan?
What has he experienced?
Or is someone misusing Obito Uchiha's name and causing trouble outside?

With a host of doubts surfacing in his mind, Kakashi Hatake, his heart in turmoil, instinctively turned around and followed Sasuke Uchiha, wanting to confirm his suspicions.

Sasuke Uchiha ignored Kakashi Hatake as he followed.

After arriving at the cemetery in the Uchiha clan area, he stood in front of Fugaku Uchiha's tombstone, placed the wooden box on the ground, and manipulated the wood-style chakra inside to make the box open automatically.

A head, cut in half and then pieced back together, with a ferocious expression, is revealed.

Upon seeing the head, Kakashi Hatake felt a sudden tightness in his chest, as if he couldn't breathe.

Although so many years have passed, that face is completely different from the boy I remember.

But the permanent scar on his left cheek, caused by a boulder, a scar that even Hashirama's cells and White Zetsu's cells couldn't repair, was telling Kakashi Hatake a story.

This head belongs to Uchiha Obito, the Uchiha Obito he remembers!
Obito Uchiha, who was buried under rocks and whose body was never found, did not die!

Why didn't he come back?
What has he gone through all these years, and why has he become like this?

Is he really Obito? Or is he just a human puppet?
After an unknown amount of time, Kakashi Hatake finally came to his senses, his voice trembling slightly as he asked, "Sasuke, where...where did you find him?"

Upon hearing this, Sasuke Uchiha, who was speaking to his father in his mind while apologizing and making promises to his clansmen, frowned slightly and looked at Kakashi Hatake beside him. Just as he was about to reprimand him, he saw Kakashi's eyes trembling and his forehead covered in sweat, and he was slightly taken aback.

Following Kakashi Hatake's gaze to Obito Uchiha's head on the ground, Sasuke Uchiha's eyes flashed and he asked, "You know this guy?"

“Many people of our generation know him,” Kakashi Hatake said without any concealment. “Obito Uchiha, like me, was a disciple of the Fourth Hokage. He also sacrificed his life in the Battle of Kannabi Bridge during the Third Shinobi World War, and his name is engraved on the monument to him as a hero of Konoha.”

"A hero of Konoha? Ha..."

Sasuke Uchiha was surprised to learn that Obito Uchiha had such a title, and couldn't help but sneer: "If those guys knew that the Nine-Tails' attack that killed the Fourth Hokage was created by this Konoha hero, wouldn't they dig up his grave to vent their anger?"

Kakashi Hatake's heart skipped a beat, his eyes wide with disbelief. "The Nine-Tails' attack was caused by Obito? How is that possible? How old was he back then? And why would he want to harm our teacher?!"

"If you don't believe me, then go ask him yourself."

"What do you mean?"

Uchiha Sasuke didn't speak, but instead activated his Mangekyou Sharingan and then raised his hand to create a black hole.

The black hole flew into the air and expanded rapidly.

The terrifying gravity targeted only Uchiha Sasuke and Hatake Kakashi, as well as the head of Uchiha Obito on the ground, pulling them off the ground and twisting their bodies as they flew into the black hole.

In an underground base, Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi, who were packing up and waiting for Izayoi's orders, suddenly tensed up.

Suddenly, a black hole the size of a fist appeared out of thin air in front of them.

"This is... a space-time ninjutsu!" Orochimaru recognized the nature of the black hole at a glance.

"Is that Lord Izayoi?"

“Impossible, Izayoi-kun doesn’t know such a space-time ninjutsu.” Orochimaru shook his head, his expression serious but not tense.

Because he knew that Izayoi had been watching over and protecting him all along.

As long as he has value, Izayoi will not let him die.

The next second, both Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi showed expressions of shock.

Two familiar figures flew out from the black hole.

"Sasuke-kun? And...Kakashi?"

Orochimaru read out the two names.

"Orochimaru?!"

Upon seeing Orochimaru in front of him, Kakashi Hatake instantly tensed up, his expression becoming tense.

Uchiha Sasuke pointed to the head that flew out of the black hole and said to Orochimaru, "Orochimaru, help me resurrect someone using the Impure World Reincarnation technique."

Looking at Sasuke's eyes and then at the slowly disappearing black hole, Orochimaru seemed to realize something, stuck out his tongue, and said with a wicked smile, "What amazing eyes, Sasuke-kun. Your eye technique reminds me of Obito's eyes."

"You know Obito Uchiha too?"

Both Uchiha Sasuke and Hatake Kakashi were slightly taken aback, quite surprised.

"Of course, after all, Kabuto and I were almost killed by him and the leader of Akatsuki back then." Orochimaru laughed. "That guy's eye technique can make him intangible and teleport in space and time, ignoring all terrain and barriers. If it weren't for Izayoi-kun's rescue, I would have been dead long ago."

“I see…” Uchiha Sasuke suddenly realized.

Orochimaru stared at the head split in two on the ground and instinctively asked, "Sasuke-kun, do you want me to resurrect this guy using Edo Tensei? Who is he?"

“Obito Uchiha,” Sasuke Uchiha said coldly.

Orochimaru was slightly taken aback, then said with interest, "So this is what his face looks like under the mask? He deserved to die after meeting Sasuke."

Kakashi Hatake looked completely dazed.

Why does it seem like everyone knows about Obito Uchiha, but he's the only one who doesn't?
Is he really a Konoha ninja?
