Chapter 205: Chapter – 202 When Curiosity Kills the Cat!
Whoosh… Whoosh…
As soon as Yama and Homusubi identified the person, both of them disappeared from their hiding spot and appeared on the two sides of Uchiha Hideki.
"You are…" – Uchiha Hideki who suddenly noticed the two strangers surrounding him was a bit taken aback, initially he thought that they are either Anbu or Root shinobi, but when he noticed the appearance of the two, Hideki was shocked, "W-what!? Amatsukami? Are you the members of Amatsukami!?"
Uchiha Hideki; similar to his brother Uchiha Ryota wasn't part of the siege unit led by Uchiha Fugaku a few days ago.
However, as a Jonin and a top-level member of the Konoha Military Police Force, Hideki is aware of the intelligence of Amatsukami, and the available information about their members.
Therefore, Hideki is aware that Homusubi is an unidentified former member of the Uchiha Clan, not only does he have the Mangekyou Sharingan but is also hostile towards the Uchiha Clan and Konohagakure for unknown reasons.
When Hideki thought that even Uchiha Shisui who also has the Mangekyou Sharingan was defeated by Homusubi and the Patriarch Uchiha Fugaku along with other elites of the Konoha Military Police Force also couldn't capture Homusubi, Hideki couldn't help but panic.
His Sharingan immediately activated and all he could think of was to find a way to get out of here!
His entire purpose of disguising himself today was to go to Soru-Ku and get the supplies for the Coup, therefore, Hideki was also worried that if he got captured, then there is a possibility that even this intelligence might be exposed.
Yama saw that Uchiha Hideki activated the Sharingan and murmured just lightly enough for Hideki to catch that, "So it's a fully matured Sharingan, huh?"
Hideki was obviously surprised and thought, 'His goal is my Sharingan?'
Hideki was obviously angry at the blatant disrespect, someone eyeing the Sharingan so openly, and he snarled in anger, "You bastards, you dare to try to steal the Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan!"
Although Hideki was angered, he still had the calmness of a Jonin, he knew that he probably wasn't strong enough to deal with the enemy so he immediately leaped back and fired an emergency signal flare in the sky, this was the best approach he could think of at this moment.
Whiiiiisssstttllleeeeeeee...… Boom…
The red light of the emergency flare traveled to a high altitude with a whistling sound and exploded in the night sky.
Yama and Homusubi obviously didn't stop Hideki as they needed a witness and were now waiting for an Uchiha member to arrive here.
At this time, Uchiha Hideki breathed a sigh of relief that he successfully launched the signal flare, then carefully observed the movements of the two enemies standing opposite to him.
'The person with the fire mask should be Homusubi but who is the other one? He can't be Suijin as Suijin has a water mask, wait, that mask… it can't be… i-is he the one, the leader of Amatsukami, Yama?'
No one knows what amount of strength one must have to make freaks like Homusubi and Suijin into subordinates?
So, if that other person is Yama as he guessed, then Uchiha Hideki couldn't even begin to fathom how he will get out of here!
'No… I can't stand here anymore, other… otherwise, I am afraid I will be incapacitated without even putting up a resistance!' – calming down his sudden panic, Hideki started devising a strategy to find some way to break out of here.
Quickly printing the hand seals, Hideki used the Jutsu, "Fire Release: Fireball Technique!"
Instantly his chest bulged, and the scorching hot fire was released out of his mouth towards Homusubi and Yama.
Yama was unperturbed by Hideki's Fire style Jutsu and just stretched out his right hand lazily, "Chakra Absorption!"
As soon as Yama stretched out his hand, all the fire of the Fireball Technique was attracted towards him and disappeared instantly without leaving any signs of damage.
"W-what…?" – Uchiha Hideki was stunned, and his already racing heart was almost close to exploding.
He couldn't understand what the enemy did, 'He just stretched out his hand, and my Jutsu was sucked in, but how is that even possible, it couldn't be that he can absorb them, right?' – Rather than a question, it was more of a reassurance to himself that such a thing isn't possible, but deep down inside he knew that was exactly the case.
Why?
Because he could see the chakra in the fireball entering Yama's body!
Although he knew that just a fireball technique wouldn't do much damage to the enemy in front of him, he still didn't expect that the attack was resolved in this way.
Not to mention Uchiha Hideki, even Homusubi was shocked and looked at Yama with a strange expression under the mask.
Even with the Mangekyou Sharingan, Homusubi could hardly understand the principle of such an advanced technique!
Yama maintained that indifferent and almighty aura that the leader of Amatsukami should have and spoke in a cold tone, "Struggling is futile, just dig out the Sharingan by yourself and hand it over, if you do so, I might consider letting you leave here alive, after all, pointlessly dying is meaningless, don't you think?"
Hideki's anger was off the charts, "You bastard! How dare you ask an Uchiha to dug out his own eyes!"
Sharingan is the pride of the Uchiha Clan and asking them to dig out their own eyes means asking them to give up their pride and honor, it's blatant disrespect, and a perfect method to make an Uchiha angry, which is exactly what Yama intended to do.
While Hideki was cursing in anger, Yama's gaze was directed towards the direction of the training field, because in his Tenseigan vision he caught sight of a young figure rushing here.
Noticing the face of the young figure, Yama was stunned, "Hmmm, isn't that him? My what a coincidence?"
…
Let's go a few minutes back.
On the other side of the training field, Uchiha Sasuke who is around four years old was sitting on a broken tree trunk with a disappointed expression.
Today his elder brother Uchiha Itachi agreed to help him in Shuriken throwing practice, and he was very excited and rushed to the agreed training field 3 hours before the agreed time.
Realizing that he was a bit too early, Sasuke passed some time by casually throwing Shuriken to the targets, waiting for the time to pass, slowly time passed, 30 minutes… 1 hour… 2 hours… 3 hours… 4 hours… and before he knew it, it was already past dusk… yet there was no sign of Itachi… Sasuke was disappointed and depressed.
His tummy growled in hunger, Sasuke considered whether he should go back, but he hesitated, 'what if nii-san comes and I am gone?' this thought has been stopping him for the past few hours…
Yet there was no sign of Itachi.
Finally understanding that nii-san wouldn't be coming, Sasuke got up and started walking towards the direction of his home, when suddenly the emergency flare caught his attention.
As the second son of the Uchiha Patriarch, although he hasn't experienced the horrors of a battlefield like that of his elder brother Itachi, Sasuke still understands some basics and knows what a signal flare means.
He also knows that he is not even an academy student and therefore, doesn't stand a chance against a real shinobi with the meager strength he has, so, he must not get close to the direction where the flared was fired from.
Because rather than helping, he would be a burden in a fight.
But curiosity in his heart and the innocence of a child, who has yet to experience the cruelty and danger of a battlefield got the better of him, he couldn't restrain himself and decided to see what's happening, obviously from a distance.
Running… and running all the way, Sasuke finally arrived near the battle site but somehow lost his balance, and in an attempt to prevent himself from falling, he forgot to control his pace and rushed out from the bushes, finally arriving at the scene of the crime.
Uchiha Hideki noticed that the help really arrived and he was a little relieved but frowned when he saw the young appearance of his helper, then, he was panicked when he realized that it was a child, and he couldn't help but exclaim when he saw the face of the child, "Sasuke-san, don't come here, run, this place is dangerous!"
Even Shisui in Homusubi's disguise was taken aback, similar to Uchiha Hideki, he didn't expect that the Uchiha clansmen who rushed over here turned out to be Uchiha Sasuke, the younger son of the patriarch!
But Yama obviously didn't care, as long as the witness was a member of the Uchiha Clan, then that's all that matters, besides, the person being Uchiha Sasuke is a good sign, with this Uchiha Fugaku will take Amatsukami more seriously, so he hurriedly signaled Homusubi, "Start."
Homusubi nodded, and his figure disappeared from his current spot and suddenly appeared in front of Uchiha Hideki, the speed was so fast that anyone other than Yama couldn't even catch that figure.
As soon as Homusubi looked into Hideki's eyes, Hideki was immediately trapped inside a Genjutsu and fell on the ground with a muffled sound.
With Uchiha Hideki solved easily, Yama focused his attention on Uchiha Sasuke.
Slowly walking towards Sasuke with a bit of intimidating aura, the distance between the two of them decreased.
Sasuke was obviously panicked and frightened.
Under the heavy pressure released by Yama, Sasuke slowly started taking backward steps and fell to the ground on his butt, while trying to retreat backward, he said with a trembling voice, "Y-you… w-whoever you are… s-stay away, d-don't come near m-me!"

Chapter 206: Chapter – 203 It’s Amatsukami!
Even an elite Jonin could hardly resist against Yama, and the young Sasuke, who has yet to even start his training as a Shinobi was really frightened.
Yama didn't care about Uchiha Sasuke's panic and walked towards him step-by-step.
Sasuke could hardly retreat backward and spoke with a trembling voice, "Y-you… w-what are you g-going to d-do?"
Yama clutched Sasuke's head with his right hand and lifted him in the air, staring at the kid's black eyes, Yama spoke with a cold tone, "You know kid, coming here headfirst was the wrong decision, but it appears you are lucky, you know why? Because you are a pathetic kid, didn't even awaken the Sharingan yet? Seems to be useless to me."
Sasuke's face was red in nervousness, he clutched Yama's hand with both his hands and tried breaking free, but his struggle was not even worth any attention for Yama.
Homusubi was also looking at Sasuke with his face full of worries.
Although he knew that Yama is just putting an act and wouldn't actually hurt the kid, he was nonetheless worried that this experience may leave a trauma on the kid's immature mind, after all, Sasuke is still too young, and hasn't yet experienced the cruelty of a battlefield.
At this time, Yama held Sasuke by the neck, and lightly whispered in his ear, "You appear to be so pathetic that you aren't even worth killing, maybe you should be glad and be happy of your incompetence!"
Sasuke who was struggling and flailing his legs in panic tried to punch Yama with whatever strength he could muster but all that felt was a tickle.
"Heh, I guess you don't even know how to punch someone, right? Don't worry I am going to show you, once you experience the pain, I think you will never forget how to land a heavy hit!" – saying that sentence he closed his right hand and hit a punch on the kid's face, the strength used was just right so that the kid would feel pain but Yama also made sure that it doesn't leave any permanent damage.
"Aaahhh…!"
However, even this punch was too heavy for Sasuke, and his consciousness started to get blurry.
Yama ignored this and hit another punch in the kid's gut, causing him to choke out saliva mixed with blood.
Sasuke was now almost unconscious and thrown at the side like trash.
The strength again was just enough to not hurt too him badly but just enough to hurt the young Sasuke.
The main reason Yama did such a thing was to create an outline for people to understand that Amatsukami is a really cruel and dangerous organization such that they remain on edge and be vary of its members, sort of like a deterrent effect.
If someone can be cruel to such a young child, then it is unknown where their limits lie.
Otherwise, if he had just ignored Uchiha Sasuke and left the kid to his devices then not only the village but even the Uchiha Clan might feel suspicious about this whole kidnapping, after all, the obvious response would be to immediately kill the kid to not leave any witnesses.
As for the other reason, Yama decided to put some early pressure on the Uchiha Sasuke to stimulate his growth, Yama is obviously going to make sure that the Uchiha Clan is not annihilated, which means, Itachi wouldn't become a criminal, therefore there has to be someone else, someone towards whom Uchiha Sasuke's hatred would be directed.
As for why he is doing so?
Isn't it obvious?
Similar to Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke is also the Child of Prophecy!
Hyuga Kuroto is confident in himself, but this doesn't stop him to ensure more options in the case things changes and takes a turn for the worst-case scenario.
The plot has long since deviated from the original story, and there is no telling what the future look might like, therefore, the more options you have in your hand, the better.
If the situation gets too critical then Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke will come in handy as the trump card, to save the day.
Besides, the enemies aren't limited to just the other shinobi villages and Akatsuki, there are unknown numbers of Otsutsuki clan members spread out throughout the stars and it is unknown when they might come and attack Earth to plunder the Chakra.
As for the question that this might leave a shadow in Sasuke's heart?
He isn't worried, the term 'Child of Prophecy' explains it all, the halo of the protagonist will help Sasuke overcome all the challenges.
Suddenly, Yama noticed that a lot of Chakra signs were appearing in the vision of his Tenseigan.
Understanding that a large number of shinobi were coming here because of the emergency signal flare, Yama didn't waste any more time and used the Gravitational Traction of Rein Wheel Pull to lift unconscious Uchiha Hideki in the air and nodded towards Homusubi, "Let's go, we will follow the plan!"
Homusubi glanced at Sasuke's painful appearance, nodded with a hesitant look, and disappeared from his spot.
…
Uchiha Clan Grounds.
Uchiha Itachi, who just came back after completing the mission was walking towards the direction of the shuriken training field when he found out that Sasuke has yet to return home.
Itachi couldn't help but smile slightly at the thought of making his brother wait for too long.
The fact that Sasuke loves him so much really warms Itachi's heart.
Spark…. Whistleeeeeee… boom…
While still on the way to the training field, Itachi noticed the signal flare in the sky.
Looking up at the flare, Itachi's onyx eyes shrank, because he realized that the flare is an emergency signal of an enemy attack, moreover, the direction the flare was fired from seems to be very close to the agreed spot.
"Sasuke!" – The first thought that came to Itachi's mind, was that Sasuke is in danger.
Without wasting even a second, Itachi's figure disappeared from his spot and rushed towards the direction of the emergency flare using the body flicker technique.
Similar to Itachi, many Uchiha Shinobi discovered the emergency flare and immediately rushed in that direction, so the number of people rushing towards that direction became a large number.
Not only the members of the Konoha Military Police Force, but even many of the other Konoha Shinobi also rushed in that direction, upon noticing the emergency flare.
In everyone's understanding, the red flare is only used in the case of an enemy attack, the last time it was used within Konoha was during the Kyuubi's attack, and the mere thought of something like that happening again frightened everyone.
It wasn't long after Homusubi and Yama disappeared, and a large number of ninjas arrived at the place where Uchiha Hideki was ambushed.
The sight that greeted them wasn't that of an enemy attack, nor was there signs of the presence of any enemy, just a young child who knelt on the ground and choked out blood.
A non-Uchiha shinobi stepped forward and questioned the child while using Iryo Ninjutsu on the kid, "Hey kid, was it you who used the emergency flare?"
Because there were no signs of any fighting, so all he could think of was that the child might have accidentally fired the emergency flare.
It was at this moment that Uchiha Itachi arrived, seeing Sasuke kneeling on the ground and trying to get up but failing, he hurriedly went towards his brother, and checked his condition, Itachi noticed that Sasuke was not severely injured, and some of his injuries were already treated and sighed in relieve, but he didn't drop his guard and watched the surroundings carefully.
Whooosh… Whooosh… Whooosh…
The ninjas continued to rush here, and everyone surrounded Uchiha Sasuke, their eyes focused on him, seemingly waiting for the answer.
Itachi squatted down beside Sasuke and asked gently while helping his brother stand up, "Sasuke, what happened just now?"
"Nii… Nii-San… Uwahhhh…!" – Seeing Itachi, Sasuke rushed forward and buried his head in Itachi's chest, the tears he has been suppressing couldn't be held back anymore, and flowed out.
Itachi was obviously a little taken aback, but he calmed down and gently rubbed his brother's back to soothe him, "Alright, don't cry Sasuke, I am here, aren't I? And aren't you a strong boy? Can you tell me what happened? Who fired the emergency flare?"
For a while, Sasuke continued crying and he could hardly speak anything understandable.
Itachi didn't put pressure on Sasuke and helped him calm down. Itachi could see that his brother has experienced something terrible based on trembling and the painful look he has.
So, he didn't want to pressure his brother.
After he calmed down a little, Sasuke who still had the snot and tears on his face, spoke. "T-thele wele t-two stlange people cough-cough… with… with s-scaly mask… a-and they attacked... unkle Hideki… they… they were very powerful and defeated Unkle Hideki easily…and… cough… a-a-and they… they alsho p-punchd me hard in the face and tummy…uwwwaaahhhhh… it was scary… uwwaaahhhh….."
(Translator's note: Okay that was a bit too much, I don't think Sasuke would cry such pitifully… but anyway, let's just assume he did.)
"What!?" – The Uchiha shinobi were all taken aback.
Initially, they all thought that it was probably the young Sasuke who fired the signal flare because he encountered some dangerous creature in the forest.
But now that they heard that Uchiha Hideki was attacked, they all realized the seriousness of the matter.
Even Itachi was taken aback, but he concealed his surprise very well and calmly listened to Sasuke, when Sasuke was finished, Itachi spoke, "It's alright Sasuke, I am here now, nothing will happen, can you tell me what kind of appearance did the attackers have? Did you see them?"
How can Sasuke forget the appearance of someone who might have inflicted some nightmares in the kid's subconscious? So he spoke and described the outfit that the two of them were wearing, "B-both of them were wearing black cloaks with strange golden patterns on them and a strange mask to cover their faces!"
"Black Cloak with strange golden patterns, and a strange Mask?" – Itachi's face sank, it wouldn't take a genius to guess the identity of the attackers.
To confirm his guess, Itachi asked, "Can you remember what type of masks they were wearing?"
Sasuke nodded while wiping away the snot with his sleeve spoke, "One wore a scary black and white color evil mask, and the other one who defeated Uncle Hideki wore a fire patterned mask!"
"Sure enough, it's Amatsukami!" – came out the voice from the canopy of a nearby tree.
Attracted by the voice, everyone turned their heads and found the figure of Uchiha Fugaku standing there with a gloomy look.
