Naruto, the strongest Uchiha from signing in.

Chapter 159: Living is more painful than death

The tone next to her ear sounded strangely familiar to Mikoto. She glanced at it and found the long black hair hanging by her side was extremely eye-catching.

In addition, the fragrance of the grass and trees lingering around left a deep impression on her.

"Hanazuki? You are Uchiha Hanazuki, wait, let me go, what's going on?"

Seeing that her identity was exposed in one sentence, Hua Yue smiled indifferently, feeling both relieved and helpless.

"Ah, ah, Mikoto-san still remembers me. This really makes me feel honored. I feel a little happy. Hahaha..."

After calming down, Uchiha Mikoto recalled the whole story. She was silent for a moment, but still couldn't help expressing her concern.

"Itachi, how is he?"

"He has now been classified as an S-rank rebel ninja, and a wanted notice has been issued to all major ninja villages. He has probably left the Land of Fire by now."

The atmosphere fell into silence for a long time. Those beautiful eyes were filled with tears. She had not yet recovered from everything she recalled in her mind.

"I can't believe it? Uchiha Itachi, who was regarded as the pride of the clan, and became a captain of the Anbu at a young age, why would he betray the clan and throw himself into the arms of Konoha?"

The two looked at each other, and Mikoto, who was filled with countless doubts, needed an answer that she could accept.

Hua Yue's eyes rolled around and she told him everything she knew, without mixing in the plans she had made in secret.

As time went by, Mikoto's expression gradually changed from confusion to bewilderment, and from bewilderment to helplessness.

"The death of Uchiha Shisui caused the double pressure between Konoha and Uchiha. For the peace of Konoha, Itachi chose to sacrifice Uchiha in exchange for Sasuke and peace."

"Frankly speaking, I find this stage very difficult to accept from my personal perspective. Why do some peaceful people use knives to attack others? This is no different from terrorists who kill innocent people in the name of revenge."

Tears fell down, Mikoto's face was covered with tear marks, but a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"I see. This is really difficult for him. We overemphasized Itachi's talent and didn't notice his mental problems. This is not his fault. It's my fault as a mother."

Sometimes, living in this world is more painful than death. The pain of death is short-lived, but living in this world requires one to be strong and endure all torture.

"It's okay. There is still a chance to make amends. Although I cannot let you reappear in this world with your original appearance, I can use your childhood appearance to accompany my child, that is, Sasuke-kun."

Hearing Kazuki's proposal, Mikoto nodded slightly. As a family member of the rebellion organizer, if she showed up, she would most likely be targeted by Konoha's high-ranking officials.

"Also, in order to revitalize the Uchiha clan, please trouble Sister Mikoto..."

"Wait...wait, I'm already a mother, it would be a bit too much for me to remarry at this time..."

"What does it matter? A loli mother or something like that is evil just thinking about it!"

With delicate and intricate eyes, Mikoto unconsciously made a decision according to her own will. In order to be able to accompany her children, she decided to return to the Ninja School to study.

...........

The next day, the sky was bright, at the edge of Konoha Village, in the Uchiha clan’s residence.

Sasuke, who had been eager to gain power, appeared in Kagetsu's mansion.

"what is this?"

"The Stasis Blood Suit can resist the full-strength ninjutsu attack of a normal jonin. It can resist up to three times. If the chakra is strong or if one possesses some special powers, the effect will be doubled."

Inside the syringe, the azure liquid exudes the breath of life, and the faintly visible black spells and metallic droplets make one hesitate while feeling eager.

"Still Blood Suit, a name I've never heard of, a secret technique of the Uchiha clan?"

Sasuke frowned, very confused. He had never heard his father say that the Uchiha had secret techniques other than eye techniques.

"No, this is a secret technique I developed personally. The Static Blood Suit is a close-range defense secret technique that can continuously train physical and mental strength and automatically trigger when attacked."

"If you're worried about the effect..."

With a "puff", before Kazuki could finish her words, Sasuke inserted the needle directly into the blood vessel and injected it into the vein bit by bit.

After waiting for the blood to circulate throughout the body, his eyes suddenly turned cold and he casually stabbed the needle tip into his eyeball.

Along with his breathing and heartbeat, azure ripples spread over his eyeballs, bouncing the needle tip away with one move. The powerful force made Sasuke's wrist numb.

"Like this, it also has a certain degree of auxiliary ability, but it is best not to overestimate it. The effect of chakra refinement depends on the user's physical fitness and physical strength."

Huayue smiled gently, and Mikoto, who subconsciously rushed out from the shadows, was stunned where she stood.

It was hard for her to believe that the child in front of her, shrouded in darkness, was really the gentle and sunny little Sasuke from before.

Glancing at Sasuke, Mikoto felt that he looked somewhat familiar, and he was immersed in this unprecedented power again.

"It's not enough. This little bit of power is not enough to defeat Itachi. I want a stronger power. I want to let that guy know that there are more ways to get power than the one he gave me!"

Sasuke's face was slightly distorted, but he didn't know that this scene in Mikoto's eyes made her heart ache.

"There has to be a limit to being willful. You can't even do the basics, let alone defeat Itachi despite the 8-year age gap. Start training from the basics!"

"The guy you want to deal with is a guy who can become an Anbu squad leader at the age of 13, that is, an Anbu Jonin. You are still far from that now. Start with the most basic physical training."

He casually threw out two very heavy gravity rings and sent Sasuke to the training ground for physical training.

In the side room, Mikoto was in great sorrow. As a mother, could she only watch the two brothers kill each other and do nothing?

"It doesn't matter. There is still time. What we need to do now is to make that child realize that there is still light in this world, right?"

Huayue smiled mischievously, and the panicked Mikoto seemed to have found her backbone and nodded vigorously.

When Kushina, who had rushed back, saw this scene, she felt that the figure looked very familiar to her, as if she had seen it somewhere before.

...........

Outside the Land of Fire, near the border of the Land of Fields.

Uchiha Itachi looked at Konoha in the distance, feeling vaguely worried as to whether the Third Hokage and Danzo would keep their promise.

In addition, Uchiha Kagetsu's dangerous remarks made Itachi feel even more uneasy.

In the entire Uchiha clan, only Huayue always hides in the dark, and no one can see his true face.

'Perhaps, he may hold the answer...'

The wind whistled, and fallen leaves rose into the air. Among the brown tree trunks nearby, a sickly pale figure appeared, with eyes full of astonishment.

"The newcomer the leader was talking about turned out to be you, the genocide weasel!"
