Chapitre 19: Chapter 19: The Truth About Itachi?
Crack!
A new seedling breaks through the soil. In the blink of an eye, a towering tree fills the interior of the barrier. At the same time, countless branches seem to come alive, reaching for Sasuke and the Third Hokage.
Kakashi is amazed, "Is this the First Hokage's Wood Release? What incredible power..."
Sakura is extremely anxious, wanting to rush into the barrier to protect Sasuke immediately. The Anbu are terrified, "What an overwhelming power! Damn it, the Third Hokage is in danger!"
At this moment, the Third Hokage has just completed the seal to summon the Monkey King Enma, but his hands are entangled by branches, preventing him from performing the jutsu.
Orochimaru says sinisterly, "Success!"
Sasuke's eyes narrow. This isn't good. If the Third Hokage loses, he might be captured by Orochimaru at best, or killed at worst...
However, misfortunes never come alone.
Bang, bang, bang—
Sasuke feels his heart pounding violently, fatigue creeping over his body, and even his vision beginning to blur. Continuous fierce battles with Gaara, Shukaku, and the First Hokage's "Immortal Earth" chakra have drained his chakra, leaving him nearly exhausted at this critical moment.
Seeing this, Kakashi's face changes drastically, "This is bad. The Third Hokage is trapped, and Sasuke's chakra is almost depleted. Is there no way out now?"
Sakura clenches her fists and shouts with all her strength, "Sasuke, come on!"
Naruto yells, "Sasuke, don't give up!"
Swish!
The voices of Sakura and the others are like the light of the morning sun, piercing the darkness surrounding Sasuke. Light reappears, and his fighting spirit is reignited. Sasuke feels a surge of strange power. This is the power called "friendship"!
[Ding, the host persevered in breaking through his own limits in desperate situations, and the amount of chakra was increased.]
[Chakra amount: 14,000 microcal (elite Jonin 3rd stage)]
Orochimaru is shocked, "Such strong willpower, and his power broke through the limit again. It's truly unbelievable!"
The Third Hokage's eyes are stern, and the strong Will of Fire is as dazzling as the sun!
Suddenly, Kakashi is shocked, "No, Sasuke, get out of the way!"
As soon as the words fall, the First Hokage controls the Wood Release branches to rush towards Sasuke. At the same time, Orochimaru wields the Kusanagi sword, aiming to kill the Third Hokage.
Sasuke quickly makes a seal, "Lightning Style: Chidori!"
In an instant, lightning flashes, cutting through the Wood Release branches in one swift motion. Then, he arrives just in time to destroy the branches binding the Third Hokage with two swipes.
"Thank you for your help, Sasuke!"
After escaping, the Third Hokage immediately uses the summoning technique, "Come out, Monkey King Enma!"
With a bang, the Monkey King Enma descends. Orochimaru's face darkens slightly, "Hmph, the troublesome guy is out."
The Monkey King Enma looks at Orochimaru coldly, "Sarutobi, you should have killed him from the start."
The Third Hokage approaches Orochimaru, "It's not too late now. Please, transform into the Adamantine Staff."
The Monkey King Enma replies, "I hope you still have that strength."
With that, the Adamantine Staff falls into the Third Hokage's hands. With the golden staff in hand, the Third Hokage's momentum soars, suppressing Orochimaru and the others, making it difficult for them to lift their heads.
Sasuke is shocked, amazed at how the Third Hokage can suppress three Kage-level opponents with his own strength. He clenches his fists, realizing he still has a long way to go.
Suddenly, the Second Hokage seizes the opportunity to use the Water Dragon Bullet to attack the Third Hokage. Sasuke also uses the Water Dragon Bullet, helping the Third Hokage offset the crisis.
Kakashi is very excited, "Okay, if this continues, the Third Hokage and Sasuke have a great chance of winning!"
The Anbu are excited. Orochimaru's eyes are gloomy. No, Sasuke can't mess up again, or there will be little chance of winning!
Soon, he smiles evilly, "Sasuke, do you want to know the truth about Itachi's massacre of the clan?"
Sasuke trembles all over. The massacre of his clan is an eternal pain in his heart. Sasuke grits his teeth, "Orochimaru, what do you mean?"
Orochimaru ponders, "This..."
The Third Hokage is shocked, "Orochimaru, shut up!"
Sasuke frowns, not understanding why the Third Hokage is trying to stop him. A smile of success appears on Orochimaru's lips, "You should ask the Hokage next to you about Itachi," then turns to the Third Hokage, "You said it, right, Sarutobi-sensei..."
The Third Hokage's face sinks slightly, "Orochimaru, I don't have a sinister disciple like you!"
Sasuke bites his lip, blood seeping into his mouth. Although he knows Orochimaru might be lying, if there is a hidden reason for Itachi's massacre of the clan, he wouldn't be willing to die without figuring it out.
Sasuke clenches his fist and looks at the Third Hokage, "Please tell me the truth!"
The Third Hokage's eyes darken, "I'm sorry, Sasuke, I can't say anything."
Sasuke yells, "Why?"
The Third Hokage remains silent.
Suddenly, Orochimaru smiles sinisterly, "Thank you, Sasuke, thanks to you, the technique has been completed."
Almost at the same time, the First Hokage says in a deep voice, "Genjutsu: Bringer of Darkness!"
As soon as the words fall, boundless darkness instantly envelops the inside of the barrier.
Kakashi is shocked, "Oh no, this is the First Hokage's Darkness Technique. Except for the caster and the designated person, others will be completely deprived of vision!"
At this time, Sasuke is deeply trapped in the darkness and is in a very bad mood. He punches the ground, "Damn it!"
It turns out that Orochimaru's original intention was just to use him to divert the Third Hokage's attention. But the Third Hokage's attitude towards Itachi's massacre of the clan is puzzling.
Is there another hidden reason for Itachi's actions?
All kinds of speculations come to his mind, the warm times of the past, and the helplessness of the night of the massacre intertwine, giving him a splitting headache...
Suddenly, Orochimaru's voice comes from all directions, "Sarutobi-sensei, after killing you, I will take Sasuke's body. I believe it will take less than three years to unify the ninja world."
Sasuke is furious, What a great Orochimaru!
"Don't even think about it! Uchiha Sasuke is a Konoha ninja. As the Hokage, I will protect him even if I risk my life!"
Orochimaru laughs wildly, "Sarutobi-sensei, you are old and can't do anything. To be honest, you are really pitiful, so go to hell!"
Soon, the muffled groan of the Third Hokage and the arrogant laughter of Orochimaru come from the darkness. Sasuke is extremely anxious.
The Third Hokage is still fighting desperately, "Orochimaru, don't underestimate the Hokage. Take this, Sealing Technique: Reaper Death Seal!"
Orochimaru says disdainfully, "The technique is very powerful, but how are you going to hit me, Sarutobi-sensei?"
Sasuke knows he can't just sit there and wait for death, so he takes out a kunai and stabs it in his leg. The severe pain makes him regain his sanity.
No matter what the hidden truth is, Itachi is the sinner who slaughtered the whole clan and the murderer of his father and mother! So, he would bury Itachi himself and let Itachi die to pay for his crime!
As for the truth of the massacre, he would also find out, and then he would take revenge for his grievances and revenge for his hatreds!
The Sharingan seems to sense Sasuke's enlightenment, and the tomoe in his pupils spin rapidly.
[Ding, the host has seen his true nature, and his pupil power has increased significantly, prompting the entry to upgrade.]
[Three Tomoe Sharingan (Gold ★☆☆) → Three Tomoe Sharingan (Gold ★★★)]
Although it is still Three Tomoe, Sasuke's Sharingan has reached the limit of Three Tomoe! Instantly, the Sharingan bursts out with a strange red light, and the powerful pupil power bursts out, shattering the darkness in front of him in one fell swoop.
Crack, crack!
The space is broken and reorganized like glass.
Orochimaru is shocked, "What, the darkness was cracked? This is impossible!"
The Third Hokage is full of shock, "What amazing pupil power. Uchiha Sasuke's talent is truly unfathomable!"
After saying that, he spits out a mouthful of blood. The Third Hokage has been pierced through the vitals by the Kusanagi sword, but even if he was not injured, he would not be far from death because he has already used the forbidden technique - Reaper Death Seal!
The Third Hokage looks at Orochimaru, "My foolish disciple, I will take your hands away so that you can never use any technique again!"
If possible, I really hope that time will be frozen at this moment forever. But reality is cruel.
What happened next seemed to press the fast-forward button.
The Third Hokage died on the spot. Orochimaru's hands were sealed, and he fled in embarrassment. In this battle, Konoha suffered heavy losses and was already riddled with holes.
A few days later, Sasuke paid tribute to the Third Hokage at the memorial, and then returned to his residence alone.
"It's time to decide on the path to take in the future, but before that, let's take a look at the results of the Chunin Exam."
