Side Story: After the Eight Gates Sasuke Traveled to Shippuden 20
"I am not that incompetent fellow Indra…"
Sasuke Uchiha sneered, his gaze towards the Sage of Six Paths showing no fear. "The legendary ancestor… Trouble you to be a little quicker. If I die here, someone will really turn this world upside down!"
When facing the Sage of Six Paths, he was, just like Indra's chakra, eternally arrogant and untamable!
Their Uchiha clan's ancestor had no so-called impartiality! This could be seen from the portions of chakra he had allocated to the Tailed Beasts…
Hagoromo Otsutsuki: "…"
I really don't know what the 'me' of the other world was thinking, to be willing to pass on the Yin Release chakra to the Sasuke in front of me!
"I don't need to hear stories, and I don't want to hear you preach…"
Sasuke Uchiha tilted his head and chuckled softly. "If you can heal me, who knows, in the future when someone releases the one in the moon, I might be able to lend a hand…"
"Do you think the entire ninja world is indispensable without you…"
Hagoromo glared at him, and the khakkhara staff in his hand slammed onto the ground. "As long as I am here, that kind of thing is impossible!"
"That's hard to say…"
Sasuke looked at the Konoha ANBU uniform on his body and continued calmly, "You brought me here, surely it wasn't just to talk nonsense with me, right?"
His threat was not without basis!
Of course, the latter part was just made up…
It was estimated that his Fifth Hokage brother would only revive him and then take him home for a good lesson. Opening the Eight Gates to teach this world's Karin a lesson…
How embarrassing is that?
Does he have any shame?
He couldn't beat his own classmate at the Ninja Academy, so he went to another world to get his face back, only to almost die there… He would probably be mercilessly mocked by Kitahara, right?
"After you leave here, you must promise me not to act recklessly in this world, relying on your own strength…"
Hagoromo's brow furrowed, but his palm still released the white Yang Release chakra, which slowly flowed into Sasuke's body, stabilizing it and repairing his injuries one by one.
Sasuke Uchiha nodded obediently. He felt a warmth moving within his body. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't use forbidden jutsu again…"
In this world, he was fighting alone. Without his brother and little companion by his side, using the Eight Gates was simply too dangerous…
A moment later, he looked up again. "Ancestor, can you release a space-time jutsu like Amenominakanaka and send me back to my original world?"
"…Ahem, ahem…" The Sage of Six Paths couldn't help but cough a few times. "Young man, don't make too many demands on this old man."
"Tsk, as useless as ever!"
"…"
The Sage of Six Paths was choked speechless. If you don't know how to talk, then don't! What are you showing off for in front of a dead man like me! If you're so capable, then leave on your own!
"In that case, I'll borrow your world's Ten-Tails. No objections, right?" Sasuke glanced at him and explained, "Don't worry, the Ten-Tails can't possibly get out of control!"
"This matter, I advise you it's best not to…"
"In any case, someone has already summoned the Gedo Statue, right?"
Sasuke spread his hands indifferently. "Instead of letting them revive the Ten-Tails, it's better to let me become the Ten-Tails' jinchuriki… Before I leave, I will separate the Tailed Beasts from within the Ten-Tails!"
"A jinchuriki, once they lose the Tailed Beast within them, is destined to die…" Hagoromo looked into his eyes and continued, "Even a Ten-Tails jinchuriki…"
"Lord Ancestor, didn't you survive back then?"
"…"
This conversation could not continue.
When Sasuke returned to reality, the group had already swept Orochimaru's stronghold clean and were returning to Konoha. Whether it was the rogue Sasuke, the revived Karin, Suigetsu, or Jugo, Orochimaru's hard-earned family assets had been wiped out in one go.
Sakura was on guard in the surroundings. Her pink hair fluttered in the wind. The long hair she had grown in her youth had been cut much shorter for the convenience of fighting.
A figure suddenly appeared beside her. It made her instinctively throw a punch, but her attack was then blocked!
Even if she could use the monstrous strength inherited from Tsunade, it was still much weaker than the power of the Uzumaki descendant from the other world…
"Sasuke-kun, your injuries…"
Sakura looked at the completely unscathed Sasuke who had just appeared, quietly lowered her head, and broke free of his control. "Sorry…"
"It's okay."
Sasuke raised his head, looked at the moon in the sky, and a smile played on his lips. "It's so troublesome, trying to leave this world…"
"Wh-what?"
"You all should have guessed long ago, right? I am not a ninja of this world." The person from another world looked at the strange expressions on everyone's faces and calmly shook his head. "I am from another ninja world, an ANBU ninja of Konoha, Sasuke Uchiha."
"In that world, the Uchiha were not annihilated. On the contrary, they are thriving. My older brother, Itachi Uchiha, is not a rogue ninja, but the Fifth Hokage of Konoha…"
"That sounds… really enviable!"
The rogue Sasuke let out a low laugh, tears streaming from the corners of his eyes. "So you're just a sheltered, naive guy who doesn't know the ways of the world!"
"Then I really hope you'll have the chance to experience my life in the future!" Sasuke Uchiha looked at the rogue ninja calmly and said softly, "Of course… after all, this world's Itachi Uchiha is so much worse than my brother, isn't he?"
"Don't mention that man's name in front of me!"
"But you can't do anything to me…" Sasuke Uchiha stepped forward, step by step, and pinched the rogue youth's chin. "Do you want to experience true pain and despair?"
"I will give you power. Go and get your revenge! But you must remember to report the Akatsuki's progress in collecting the Tailed Beasts to me! Understand?"
"Hey, what on earth are you trying to do!" Naruto Uzumaki gripped his wrist tightly and gritted his teeth. "He'll be killed!"
The power of the Akatsuki—he had seen it with his own eyes.
Especially the great fame of "Itachi of the Sharingan." As for his defected teammate, what his level was… Naruto actually had a good idea in his heart.
Sasuke ignored Naruto, his gaze fixed on the grim-faced rogue ninja before him. "I'm asking you, do you dare?"
"I don't need your power! I can kill that man myself!"
"Then it's happily decided…" A mocking smile flashed across Sasuke's lips. He turned his head and said, "Lord Jiraiya, you've never been one to obstruct others from pursuing their own path. I believe this time will be the same, right!"
Jiraiya: "…"
This guy actually knows him quite well!
Back then, when Orochimaru had defected, he had also chased after him. But later, when he found that his friend's mind was made up, he had no choice but to let him go.
And now…
He couldn't interfere with the decision of the person before him either. After all, letting the rogue Sasuke act as a spy would also be beneficial to Konoha as a whole.
Thinking of this, he looked at his disciple, his mouth feeling a little bitter. "Naruto, you must try to believe in your comrade…"
"But…"
"Shut up!"
The rogue Sasuke looked at his former teammate and said in a deep voice, "The only purpose I have for living now is to kill that man. Naruto, don't stop me, if you are still willing to acknowledge me as your friend…"
The yellow-haired ninja weakly let go of his hand.
The group watched as the rogue Sasuke packed his things and set off on the road alone.
"Perhaps this is a wrong decision," Sasori said from the side. "He will be killed by the people of the Akatsuki, or be tortured to death by that guy Itachi…"
"Don't worry!"
Sasuke opened his clenched fist. The shuriken that had been in his hand had disappeared at some point. He looked at the distant figure and smiled. "I know very well, how could a big brother bear to harm his little brother?"
"A person who thinks he has fallen into an abyss, yet desperately lunges towards the light. The moment he leaves the abyss, he will discover that it was the abyss that provided him with warmth…"
"Don't you think that's very interesting?"
