Chapter 36 Opening Eyes
Chapter 36 Opening Eyes
Sasuke's mind went blank for a moment.
Upon hearing Chiyo's question, Fugaku and Mikoto flashed through my mind, before finally settling on Itachi.
"It's Nissan."
Qianyao's pace slowed down, and instead of continuing with that question, she changed the subject:
Do you know the relationship between the Uchiha clan and Konoha Village?
Sasuke is only seven years old now and has no idea about these things.
He replied, "Our Uchiha clan is one of the founders of Konoha Village."
"So, how strong is our Uchiha clan?"
Sasuke's eyes shone brightly: "Of course, our Uchiha clan is the strongest in the ninja world!"
Chiyo sensed Sasuke's pride and sense of belonging to his clan, and let out a relaxed laugh.
"Do you know who the strongest member of the Uchiha clan is?"
Sasuke was troubled when he heard this question.
There were too many powerful people in the clan, and he didn't have a clear concept of it. He didn't even know that Itachi had the Mangekyou Sharingan.
"Is it my father?" Sasuke asked hesitantly.
Because Fugaku usually kept a low profile, Sasuke had never seen his father make a move.
He felt that his father was strong, but this was merely a preconceived notion that the clan chief was the strongest.
Qianyao shook his head, not keeping Sasuke in suspense, and said directly, "It's Itachi."
"He is the strongest member of the entire Uchiha clan, and the legendary owner of the Mangekyou Sharingan!"
"Even the clan leader is no match for Itachi."
"It's Nissan! Nissan is this strong!?"
Sasuke's voice was filled with shock and pride.
For Sasuke, who is obsessed with his brother, nothing stirs his emotions more than praising his older brother.
Chiyo reached out and picked Sasuke up.
He continued, turning to Sasuke, "If your brother wanted to become Hokage, do you think he could succeed?"
Chiyo changed to a way that Sasuke could understand when asking him a question.
Sasuke answered without hesitation:
"Since my brother is the strongest member of the Uchiha clan, of course he can become Hokage!"
"Which clan does the current Hokage belong to?"
Sasuke already had a vague premonition: "It's the Sarutobi clan."
Chiyo stared into Sasuke's eyes and slowly guided him: "If the Sarutobi clan doesn't want to give up the Hokage position..."
"They can't beat your brother, what will they do?"
Sasuke's eyes widened, and he began brainstorming.
Qianyao reminded him, "Do you still remember who loves you the most in this world?"
Sasuke realized what was happening, his face flushing red: "I...I'm a hostage!?"
He suddenly understood why Qianyao had picked him up from school that day.
Qianyao said coldly, "The people of Konoha kidnapped you and want your brother to kill the entire Uchiha clan."
"Including your parents, your sister Quan, me, and Liuli, the lives of everyone in the clan."
Sasuke suffered a tremendous mental shock; his blood visibly surged, and his eyes were bloodshot.
Seeing that the time was right, Qianyao delivered the final blow:
"For your life, Itachi is prepared to obey Konoha's orders and kill his entire clan in exchange for your chance to live!"
"Even if he bears the guilt of killing his father and mother and slaughtering his entire clan, he will still save you, his beloved younger brother!"
"I... Ah!... Nii-san!"
Sasuke let out a scream upon learning of the sacrifices Itachi had made for him.
Overwhelmed by emotions, his eyes turned bloodshot, and a magatama quietly appeared.
Sasuke, you've awakened your Sharingan!
"Huff...huff..." Sasuke was panting heavily, his body extremely exhausted.
His vision gradually darkened, and he fell straight forward.
Qianyao reached out and scooped Sasuke up on his shoulder.
This kid is truly gifted. With Sasuke being so attached to Itachi, it'll be a piece of cake for him to awaken his Sharingan.
They carried Sasuke as they walked towards the clan.
He himself switched consciousness and entered Naruto's shadow.
Just as his own shadow overlapped with Naruto's shadow, his own clone had already sneaked over.
Although Jiraiya also knew the Shadow Concealment Technique, this kind of Shadow Escape Technique was quite rare, so naturally he didn't discover it.
Chiyo's main body has been gone with Sasuke for twenty minutes.
Naruto is still at the door.
A person sat on a swing, watching enviously as parents picked up their children one after another.
Naruto didn't not want to go home, but there were too many parents on the road at this time of day.
Being insulted or bullied is a very likely thing to happen; you might even be beaten or have stones thrown at you.
So he could only sit on the swing here until everyone else had left.
Only after he gets home and cooks for his children, when there are fewer people on the street, can he return to that home that has no warmth at all.
Jiraiya was a little puzzled, so he asked the nearby Anbu members:
What is Naruto doing here?
The nearby ANBU had clearly been monitoring Naruto for a long time and knew his daily routine.
An ANBU member said, "Naruto usually waits for the Hokage here, but the Third Hokage has been busy with the Uchiha matter lately and hasn't come to see Naruto."
"Naruto is probably missing the Hokage. Jiraiya-sama, don't worry, Naruto will go back on his own in a little while."
Jiraiya suddenly realized that the old man still cared about Naruto quite a bit.
After thinking it over, he decided to postpone getting to know Naruto.
After all, Naruto is still young, and he can't reveal his identity. It's better to wait for the old man to make arrangements later.
Seeing that Chiyo had left and Naruto was alright, Jiraiya instructed, "Continue your work."
"Yes, Jiraiya-sama."
Jiraiya flashed away and headed towards the Hokage's office.
Chiyo guessed that Naruto would stay here for a while longer.
It also meant that I switched my consciousness back.
When his original consciousness is transferred, his original body becomes like a shadow clone.
It wouldn't make it stupid, so Chiyo's true form had already brought Sasuke back to the clan's territory and arrived at Fugaku's place.
When Chiyo carried Sasuke inside, Fugaku was initially startled, thinking Sasuke was injured.
Seeing that Qianyao looked normal, I was relieved.
What's wrong with Sasuke?
Qianyao said in a calm tone, "It's nothing, Sasuke just awakened his Sharingan."
"My eyes have been opened... My eyes have been opened!?"
Fugaku paused for a moment, then suddenly realized what was happening.
Sasuke is only seven years old! He awakened his Sharingan at seven?!
Fugaku exhaled, suppressing the joy that was about to burst forth.
He reverted to a poker face.
"Yes, we mustn't let him get too arrogant," Fugaku said seriously.
But Chiyo frowned and stared at him. Fugaku paused, then asked, "What's wrong, Chiyo?"
Ever since Qianyao activated the Kaleidoscope, things have changed drastically.
Not only did he save the Uchiha clan, but he also demonstrated astonishing political acumen and wisdom.
Therefore, Chiyo looked displeased, and Fugaku could not pretend not to see it.
Qian Yao snorted coldly:
"You still don't understand? Your arrogant attitude and strict fatherly image are the root cause of the Uchiha clan's near annihilation."
"If you just praised Itachi a couple more times, saying 'You are my pride,' do you think Itachi would betray the clan?"
