I'm in Konoha, and I started with Ashura Chakra.

Chapter 136 Yagyu: They wiped out your entire clan, so why don't you go and wipe out their entire clan too?

After Itachi Uchiha died, Sasuke Uchiha, who had exhausted his chakra, also lost consciousness.

When he woke up, he was in a wooden house, lying on a wooden bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, feeling no pleasure whatsoever from killing Uchiha Itachi and avenging his parents and clan.

Although Itachi Uchiha's voice before his death was barely audible, Sasuke Uchiha still heard it.

What exactly does that sentence mean?

Didn't he want to steal his own eyes and become the second Madara Uchiha?

Why did he smile instead of looking resentful before he died?

Why did the cold-blooded and cruel genocide killer suddenly turn back into the gentle older brother he once was?

What on earth is going on?!

Uchiha Sasuke's thoughts were in turmoil, but being completely ignorant of politics, he couldn't understand why.

"Oh...you're awake."

At that moment, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice entered Uchiha Sasuke's ears.

Following the direction of the sound, Uchiha Sasuke immediately saw Yagyu sitting on a wooden chair.

Sasuke Uchiha sat up, slightly taken aback.

He discovered that he was completely unharmed, and all the injuries inflicted by Itachi Uchiha had vanished.

It goes without saying that it was Yagyu who treated him.

Without asking Yagyu why he saved him, Sasuke Uchiha immediately asked, "Who is that masked man?"

"He is the culprit who caused the destruction of your Uchiha clan," Yagyu said with a smile. "On the night of the massacre, besides Itachi Uchiha, he was also one of the perpetrators."

Upon hearing this, Sasuke Uchiha's eyes instantly transformed into three-tomoe Sharingan, radiating a chilling killing intent.

However, he quickly suppressed his murderous intent, his eyes returning to normal as he stared intently at Liu Sheng, demanding, "What do you know?"

"everything."

Yagyu smiled and said, "Do you want to know why the Uchiha clan was destroyed, why Itachi Uchiha killed his parents and clansmen, and why he said those words to you in the end?"

"What do you need me to do?" Sasuke Uchiha asked, knowing full well that there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

"It's very simple."

Yagyu smiled and said, "After I succeed as the Sixth Hokage, I need you to return to Konoha and become the head of the Anbu."

Upon hearing this, Sasuke Uchiha's eyes widened in surprise.

Clearly, he hadn't expected Yagyu's condition to be like this.

He had assumed that Yagyu would require him to do something clandestine, or pay some kind of price, etc...

Unexpectedly, Yagyu actually sent him back to Konoha to become the head of the Anbu, a position second only to the Hokage.

This is the second-in-command of Konoha who holds real power!

However, thinking of the village where he had lived for twelve years, and the bonds he had sacrificed for revenge, Uchiha Sasuke nodded: "Okay, I promise you!"

"Alright, then please listen patiently to my story."

As Liu Sheng slowly rose, the scene inside the room began to change dramatically, transforming into a dark and stormy night.

The scene then shifts to a cave where a red-haired woman, having just given birth, is holding a newborn baby with a beard already on its face.

Upon seeing the baby's hair color and beard, Sasuke Uchiha exclaimed in surprise, "This is... Naruto?!"

"That's right, he is Naruto."

Yagyu nodded, and then Minato Namikaze and the masked man appeared. The latter snatched Naruto away, stuck explosive tags on him, and then forced Minato to save his son first. The scene showed him teleporting to another place with the explosive tags and detonating them.

When he returned, Kushina Uzumaki had already been captured.

Looking at Minato Namikaze's face, a face he was seeing for the first time but felt incredibly familiar with—a face he had seen countless times in books and on the Hokage Rock—Sasuke Uchiha said with a complex expression, "Naruto's father is the Fourth Hokage."

"right."

The scene continues, showing Kushina being pulled out of the Nine-Tails by the masked man, and then summoned out of Konoha.

As soon as the Nine-Tails appeared, it wreaked havoc on Konoha. For a fleeting moment, its red vertical pupils transformed into the shape of a three-tomoe Sharingan.

"This is... the Sharingan!"

Sasuke Uchiha's eyes widened in astonishment. "That masked man... he's also from the Uchiha clan?!"

"He called himself Uchiha Madara."

Yagyu scoffed, "However, his chakra is too weak, and he doesn't have the domineering aura of a ninja world demon. Either he transplanted the Sharingan, or he was a lucky one who wandered around and accidentally obtained the legacy left by Madara Uchiha."

The scene fast-forwards, quickly showing Minato Namikaze sealing the Nine-Tails with the Reaper Death Seal.

Then comes the scene where Shimura Danzo raises an objection during a meeting of Konoha's high-ranking officials, suspecting that the Uchiha clan was responsible for the Nine-Tails' attack, and ultimately forcing the Uchiha clan to move their territory from the center of Konoha to the vicinity of the Naka River.

Yagyu said softly, "These images are memories that I extracted from the brains of the Fourth and Third Hokage by having Orochimaru resurrect the previous Hokage using the Impure World Reincarnation technique. That masked man is the culprit who caused the conflict between Konoha and the Uchiha clan."

"The Uchiha clan moved from the central town of Konoha, which had the best location, to the vicinity of the Naka River. With the instigation of Konoha's higher-ups, the Uchiha clan was ostracized by Konoha. Gradually, the conflict deepened, and the Uchiha clan eventually decided to launch a coup."

"However, both Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi opposed the war between their clans and the village. Uchiha Shisui even wanted to end the coup with his Mangekyou Sharingan's exclusive eye technique, but unfortunately he overestimated the Konoha leadership."

As Yagyu finished speaking, the scene in the genjutsu world changed abruptly once again. The scene of Shimura Danzo gouging out his eyes and Uchiha Shisui giving his last words before jumping into the river to commit suicide, and Uchiha Itachi activating his Mangekyou Sharingan, all entered Uchiha Sasuke's eyes.

"Brother Shisui, it wasn't Itachi who killed him!"

Sasuke Uchiha stared blankly at the scene, never expecting that all of his and Yusuke Uchiha's conjectures would be overturned.

Itachi Uchiha awakened his Mangekyou Sharingan not by killing Shisui Uchiha, but by witnessing Shisui's death and being stimulated to awaken it.

No wonder Itachi Uchiha was so angry that day when he was a child and attacked his clansmen. It turns out that the clan wanted to launch a coup, which ultimately led to Shisui's suicide, so that the clan would lose its strongest member and thus suppress their coup plot.

"Although the death of Uchiha Shisui temporarily dispelled the Uchiha clan's idea of ​​a coup, in the following two years, under the control of the Konoha leadership, their relationship with the villagers reached its limit again, and the idea of ​​a coup resurfaced. This time, the pressure fell on Uchiha Itachi."

The scene continues, showing Itachi Uchiha being asked to become a double agent.

Finally, there is Itachi Uchiha's desperate realization that he cannot stop this coup, followed by his conversation with Danzo Shimura.

When Shimura Danzo offered Sasuke's life as a condition for Itachi Uchiha to make a choice, Sasuke completely broke down. His eyes turned into six-pointed stars, and he roared, "Damn it, I'll kill him!"

"Calm down, don't waste your eye power on illusions."

Yagyu used the tree branches to bind Uchiha Sasuke, absorbing his chakra to restore his composure.

Immediately, the scene in the genjutsu world continued, showing Itachi Uchiha approaching a masked man wandering in Konoha and asking him for help in destroying his clan.

Ultimately... during the Ninja Academy's impromptu exam, while Yagyu and the others were conducting a survival drill, Itachi Uchiha and Obito Uchiha began their massacre of the clan.

As Sasuke Uchiha relives the scene of his clan's massacre, his face is blank, and the hatred in his heart is like the prelude to a volcanic eruption.

Finally, after seeing Itachi Uchiha disguised as an Anbu member and warning Danzo Shimura not to lay a hand on Sasuke Uchiha, it turned into a crow and disappeared. It then went to meet the Third Hokage and went to the Akatsuki organization to become a spy.

Black gas involuntarily emanated from Uchiha Sasuke's body.

Just like in the original story, Sasuke Uchiha began to turn to the dark side, shifting his hatred from the already deceased Itachi Uchiha to the Konoha F4.

The conditions promised to Yagyu had long been discarded by him.

Just then, Yagyu's voice rang in my ears again: "Want revenge? I'll help you!"

The corrupted Uchiha Sasuke stared wide-eyed at Yagyu, who had dispelled the genjutsu and sat back down on the wooden chair.

In response, Yagyu smiled slightly and said, "Actually, I awakened the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai when I was seven years old, but I only slowly revealed it after the Third Hokage died and the Fifth Hokage succeeded him."

"The reason I hid it was because the annihilation of your Uchiha clan reminded me of it."

"Back then, Itachi Uchiha was only 13 years old. Even the strongest person couldn't possibly wipe out Konoha's largest clan in such a short time, let alone leave no one alive."

"The village couldn't possibly have missed such a commotion, but somehow... no one noticed, and Itachi Uchiha managed to escape."

At this point, a mocking smile appeared on Yagyu's face: "Anyone with a brain would realize that the Konoha leadership was definitely involved in this massacre, or even that they were the ones who orchestrated it."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Sasuke looked ashamed.

He was completely unaware that he had been accidentally scolded by Yagyu.

Yes, Itachi Uchiha was only thirteen years old that year!

Even if Itachi Uchiha was already a captain in the Anbu at that time, it would have been impossible for him to kill so many of his clansmen.

Moreover, his father was an elite Jonin, so even if he killed his father, he would have to pay a considerable price.

Thinking about it now, it really was all a conspiracy.

Thinking of this, Sasuke Uchiha's hatred for the Konoha leadership and that masked man intensified.

Yagyu continued, "As my strength increased, and due to my relationship with the Fifth Hokage's clan, I gradually came into contact with the darkness of the village. With Orochimaru's help, I also learned many truths."

"Those parasites are both hateful and pitiful. Because they are weak, they are suspicious of everything. Because they are weak, they are incredibly weak to outsiders, but they strike hard at home."

"They devour the flesh and blood of the village, suck the blood of the major ninja clans, seize the legacy and foundation of the Fourth Hokage and his wife and the Uchiha clan, strengthen their own ninja clan, and even want to train Naruto into a new weapon of war."

Yagyu sneered, "If I had revealed my Wood Release bloodline limit back then, my situation would probably be similar to yours and Naruto's now, or even have control techniques implanted in my body."

"These termites shouldn't exist."

Seeing Yagyu's intense dislike for the Konoha leadership, Sasuke Uchiha's goodwill towards him immediately increased.

Uchiha Sasuke is a sentimental person; if he were a girl, he would be someone who loves and hates intensely.

His family comes first in his heart. If there is a coup, he will follow his family into the coup and won't think about anything else.

Now that he has discovered that the Konoha high-ranking officials and the masked man were the key to the clan's destruction, he is eager to kill them immediately.

In order to kill them, Sasuke Uchiha was able to abandon his bond with Team 7, just as he did when he joined Orochimaru's side. Revenge was the greatest thing in the world.

In this way, he and Yagyu became enemies.

But now this enemy is willing to tell him the truth and help him take revenge. He even stole his and Itachi Uchiha's corpses from the masked man.

Besides feeling much more favorably towards him, Sasuke Uchiha was also filled with gratitude towards Yagyu.

If Yagyu helps him get revenge, then what's wrong with becoming his subordinate?

"Thank you, Yagyu," Sasuke Uchiha suddenly said sincerely.

Liu Sheng was slightly taken aback, then teased, "This is the first time I've heard you thank me. That's quite rare."

"Stop...stop nagging!"

Uchiha Sasuke blushed and turned his head away, his arrogant expression making Yagyu want to take a picture of the man's face, which was a rare occurrence for him.

Seeing Sasuke Uchiha's shy expression, Yagyu's smile faded slightly as he said, "No need to thank me. I actually have my own little scheme. I want to use you to help me get rid of those parasites, so that when I become the Sixth Hokage, I won't have to put up with those old guys' attitudes."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Sasuke asked seriously, "Then what should I do?"

"Of course, it's about giving them a taste of their own medicine."

Yagyu sneered again: "Since they chose to annihilate the Uchiha clan, then you should annihilate their clan and let them experience your pain."

Sasuke Uchiha felt a chill run down his spine, instinctively feeling a pang of pity.

After all, he wasn't truly corrupted; even if he harbored hatred, it was hatred directed at the higher-ups of Konoha.

After recruiting Hozuki Suigetsu, he strictly forbade the other party, who had a penchant for killing, from controlling his murderous intent and from killing indiscriminately.

Because Sasuke Uchiha subconsciously felt that those people were innocent.

As if sensing his thoughts, Yagyu said calmly, "They enjoy the resources that the Konoha leadership plundered from the Fourth Hokage and his wife, as well as the Uchiha clan, which means they bear the consequences of this karmic relationship."

"Not all members of your Uchiha clan are interested in staging a coup. There are many clan members who haven't awakened their Sharingan and just want to live peacefully. Aren't they innocent too?"

Upon hearing this, Sasuke Uchiha instantly recalled the image of his clansmen, who had been gentle and kind for nine years, a memory that remained vivid in his mind.

The reluctance in my heart was instantly replaced by coldness.

He nodded to Yagyu: "I understand!"
