Chapter 727: Uchiha, Cold on the Outside but Warm on the Inside
Half a minute later.
The battle is over. Without the blessing of the magic of reflection, the little devil Dimon was completely defeated by the Six Paths Sunny Pillars.
Sasuke dispersed Susanoo and had his clone hold Sakura's body.
The main body walked towards Dimon alone. The black sea of Amaterasu was still burning, but it took the initiative to separate a extinguished royal road for Sasuke to pass.
"call out--!"
Sasuke untied the Six Red Yang Formation, and replaced four of the Truth-Seeking Jades with four black rods, which fell from the sky and accurately penetrated into Damon's limbs and torso, completely locking him in place.
Even though Dimon was dying from the burning of Amaterasu, there was no guarantee that he would still have the strength to resist. Was he just pretending?
But as long as he is locked in the Truth-Seeking Jade Lock, even Otsutsuki Isshiki would be finished, not to mention Damon.
In short, Sasuke will not be careless and underestimate the enemy, so as to avoid a setback in the end.
at last.
Sasuke came to the dying Dimon.
The latter is now in an even worse state than before. The carbonized epidermis and dermis of his body have been completely burned by Amaterasu, and now large areas of subcutaneous tissue and bright red flesh have been burned out. In some places, you can still see the gray-black bones...
The whole person was like jumping into magma, and after his skin was burned and peeled off, he was fished out covered in blood.
If Sasuke had not stopped the burning immediately and waited a moment longer, Damon would have been burned to ashes.
to be frank.
It is really amazing that Dimon is still alive after being treated like this.
This shows how strong his vitality is; if he were a ninja, he would have died long ago.
"Are you still alive?"
Sasuke stopped in front of Damon and asked coldly.
Dimon did not respond and continued to lie on the ground motionless.
Of course Sasuke knew that he was pretending, so he didn't let him off. He simply drew out his Kusanagi sword and stabbed it into Damon's bloody thigh.
"Woo~~~~!"
A faint humming sound of pain came from Damon's mouth, proving that he was still alive and conscious.
But his throat and respiratory cord were also burned, and he could no longer speak normally.
At this moment, Damon had never experienced such pain and fear of being on the verge of death. His childlike nature instinctively developed fear and obedience towards Sasuke.
He understood that if he continued to pretend to be dead, Sasuke would really kill him!
Compared to this terrifying demon named Sasuke, Coder seemed to be a kind sheep.
"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you."
"Now I only give you two options."
"Either die or obey me!"
Sasuke was too lazy to waste time and directly threw out two options.
If Damon chose to refuse, he wouldn't mind killing one more android.
"Ugh——!"
Dimon howled again. Obviously, his so-called age advantage made no difference in the eyes of the devil Sasuke.
Sasuke would not be so generous as to let him live just because he was a minor.
"You'll have three seconds to think about it."
Sasuke stepped on Dimon's back, raised the Kusanagi sword, and aimed at the back of Dimon's head.
His eyes were cold and expressionless.
Although Damon couldn't see it, he could clearly feel the bone-chilling murderous intent. This was definitely not a joke.
He doesn't want to die!
Especially since I haven’t rescued my sister yet!
“Wuwu, wuwu——!”
Damon whimpered hurriedly, shaking his broken neck with all his might, and nodded slightly to indicate that he was willing to obey.
Seeing this, Sasuke was slightly satisfied and put away his Kusanagi sword.
As expected, to deal with this kind of ignorant kid, you just have to give him a good beating.
Besides, Sasuke doesn't need a Dimon who is grateful to him, he just needs a qualified fighter who is obedient enough.
So he doesn't need to play Naruto's narrative of gratitude to Kawaki. Pain and fear can tame certain enemies just as well.
Of course, the stick has already subdued Dimon.
It is still necessary to give some candied dates appropriately.
"I'll spare your life this time, but you won't be so lucky next time."
"My target is also Code and Isshiki. I will definitely kill that guy."
"You want to save your sister, right? Then just listen to me."
"Otherwise, you don't want to kill your sister by rushing around, right?"
Done.
Sasuke simply turned and left.
Although Dimon is young, he has a good brain. After this incident, he will understand what the best choice is.
If he still insisted on disobeying me and went to settle the score with Code alone, thus destroying Konoha Village.
Then Sasuke wouldn't mind killing him again!
Of course, some small necessary precautions are still needed. I believe that Orochimaru and Amado will help me deal with this later.
After the Six Red Yang Formation was released, the Edo Tensei Hashirama and others knew that the battle was over, and they also released the Four Red Yang Formation.
Orochimaru, Boruto and others in the distance rushed over immediately.
"Master, are you okay?"
Boruto asked extremely worriedly.
"I am fine."
"Orochimaru, give him some treatment, I need him alive."
Sasuke looked at Orochimaru and gave the order very skillfully.
"Hey!"
Uncle Snake agreed subconsciously, more smoothly than ever before.
"Hmm? Why did you agree so readily?"
'When did I become so easy to talk to?'
'It feels familiar, but also a little weird...'
Although the memory has not yet recovered, some habits engraved in the subconscious and bones cannot be erased even by the omnipotent.
Forget it, don’t worry about it…
Facing Six Paths Sasuke, Snake has no right to say no.
What's more, he himself is very interested in Damon, the most powerful artificial man. A living Damon is more valuable for research than a corpse.
The next moment, Uncle Snake pounced on Dimon with great interest.
With the cutting-edge biotechnology that Uncle Snake has accumulated, as long as he has a breath left, Bao Dimon will not die.
Poor Damon, who was left with only a little blood, couldn't see Uncle Snake at all, but he could feel a living being with passionate emotions rushing towards him excitedly, as if it wanted to eat him.
For a moment, Damon couldn't help but feel his hair stand on end. He even felt that the hibernation chamber where he once slept was much warmer and safer than the outside world.
……
"Mr. Sasuke, did Code... Isshiki really escape?" Kawaki was obviously more concerned about the whereabouts of his enemy.
"Yes, he escaped."
"What a pity! I was so close to killing that guy..."
Kawaki gritted his teeth and expressed regret, he really wanted to kill Otsutsuki Isshiki, the culprit.
"There's no need to worry. There will be opportunities later."
Sasuke said soothingly.
No reason, just because I am the strongest in the ninja world now!
Boruto took the opportunity to ask curiously, "Master, did you expect him to attack us?"
"I just guessed that he might attack. But judging from this, it's probably Orochimaru's actions that stimulated Isshiki, making him decide to take action himself."
Sasuke responded frankly.
Boruto and Kawaki were also relieved about this and did not blame Sasuke for not telling them the full picture of the plan.
After all, they all knew that Isshiki had the magical power [Clairvoyance] that could monitor the entire world.
Even if we use illusion to tell them, there is no guarantee that they won't reveal flaws when capturing the Jinchūriki. It's because they are still too green and their acting skills still have a lot of room for improvement.
Moreover.
As long as they can kill the enemy and rescue Naruto, Boruto and Kawaki are willing to do anything!
"Orochimaru? It's really thanks to him. Without him, we might have been defeated by Uncle Killer Bee..."
This time, Boruto was honestly convinced.
It can be said that I have witnessed the cunning and tricks of these old ninjas of the previous generation.
If Uncle Snake had not intervened, they might have been beaten into meat patties by the Eight-Tailed Fox, or become Isshiki's prisoners.
How can I stand here and talk peacefully?
As for those ninjas who came out of the Impure World Reincarnation, each one was more outrageous than the other. Even Boruto and Kawaki were not sure of defeating the weakest Third Kazekage.
It seems that the history taught in history class is still too superficial. I don’t know how many hardships the previous Hokage have experienced to become more powerful than the last.
"Orochimaru is indeed special. Mitsuki is also a good friend of yours, so you should be able to understand how different he is."
"As for you, Kawaki, the power of the curse seal is very special. Although I don't know if there are any side effects, try not to use it lightly."
Sasuke looked at Kawaki, whose body was covered with curse seals. He had already guessed who gave them to Kawaki, and couldn't help but sigh.
It was as if I saw my past self, who was also unscrupulous in the pursuit of power and had enemies who wanted to eat me alive.
But Kawaki is also lucky. At least now he and Orochimaru will not think of using the curse seal to take over his body.
Hmm... I have to check Kawaki's curse seal myself later.
Kawaki nodded honestly.
There is no way, now Uncle Sasuke has become the second person he admires. As for the first? Of course it has to be his adoptive father Naruto.
then.
Sasuke finally turned his gaze to the Edo World Itachi.
This pair of brothers, entangled in love and hate, met again after 15 years.
"Odoudou..."
"Onisan..."
"Sasuke, you've grown up..."
"Brother, you haven't changed at all..."
The two looked at each other. Itachi still looked the same as Sasuke remembered, without any change; but Sasuke was no longer the young boy he used to be.
I heard that he already has a wife and children, so naturally things are different.
He has become more mature and experienced, but the wild laughter and arrogance that came from the bottom of his heart have not changed. This alone is enough to prove that Sasuke's bloodline is pure.
As an adult, Sasuke became more reserved in expressing his emotions; and when he thought about how he had just laughed wildly, he couldn't help feeling ashamed.
"Sasgei, it seems that you have far surpassed me now!"
Edo Itachi looked at the Truth-Seeking Ball floating behind Six Paths Sasuke and felt truly moved and relieved.
"Isn't it natural for a younger brother to surpass his older brother?"
After seeing his brother again, Sasuke felt a rare bit of relief. The loneliness and pressure he had experienced running around alone over the years were no less severe than those experienced by Naruto.
It’s just that there is no one he can rely on or confide in; now that he has grown up, it’s time for him to learn to be someone others can rely on.
"You guy..." Itachi smiled knowingly.
That’s right, this conceited feeling is that of my own younger brother!
"By the way, I heard that you are married and have children?"
"Yes, I have a very cute daughter named Uchiha Sarada."
When talking about Sarada, even the cold-hearted Sasuke couldn't help but soften his heart.
"As for my wife, Sakura, she was also my former teammate. You should have met her..."
Speaking of his wife, Sasuke couldn't help but feel a little dim.
His clone also happened to bring Sakura's body to his original body.
Seeing that the lively Sakura had become a corpse, everyone present fell silent and the atmosphere suddenly fell into mourning.
"Sorry, Sasi, if I could find a way to defeat the enemy..."
Itachi was more heartbroken and distressed than the others.
In his eyes, Sakura is the last daughter-in-law of the Uchiha clan.
He also hoped that Sakura and Sasuke could have ten or eight more children to bring glory to the Uchiha clan!
The result was such a tragic sacrifice.
Then who will my younger brother turn to for help in having babies in the future?
Wait...I remember there was a little red-haired girl who liked to follow Sasuke before?
Is she okay? Is she still alive?
In response, Sasuke directly interrupted his brother Itachi's brainstorming.
"It's okay, it's not anyone's fault."
"I killed Sakura with my own hands, and I will take responsibility for it."
"I'm ready. When everything is over, I will find a way to revive her. I owe her this..."
Sasuke said with unusual firmness.
Rescue Naruto, kill Isshiki, unify the ninja world, and revive all the victims...
This is the future Sasuke has planned for himself.
From the moment he accepted the gift from the immortal and embarked on this desperate path, Sasuke had already decided to be prepared to lose everything.
His cruel treatment of Sakura did not mean that he completely ignored this relationship, but that he knew that the price of hesitation and procrastination would only be more expensive.
Sasuke didn't want to lose any more.
of course.
Just now, Sasuke could have sacrificed one of his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, cast Izanagi, and resurrected Sakura.
But that wouldn't mean much.
The resurrected Sakura is unable to remove the omnipotent tampering and will only become a burden to her side; either she will be imprisoned or controlled by illusion.
If the enemy knew that Sakura was still alive and knew of this weakness, they would use the same hostage threat to coerce Sasuke next time, which would be just asking for trouble.
Moreover, if he lost the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, his insight would be greatly weakened, further weakening his strength.
It would be foolish to cut yourself before killing the enemy!
It would be better to preserve Sakura's body and use the Samsara Technique to revive her after everything is over...
"Sasuke, you..."
Itachi saw the pain and determination in his brother's heart, just like his own determination to exterminate the clan back then.
Of course, his beastly behavior was forced by Danzo and he had no chance to make amends. Itachi still regrets it to this day.
But Sasuke is different. He makes rational self-judgment and has the qualifications of the Rinnegan to make up for everything. They really cannot be compared.
But Itachi felt deeply the pain of killing his loved ones and the sin he carried.
Therefore, Itachi didn't say anything more; any words of comfort would be of little use to the person involved.
Just like Boruto lost his mother Hinata.
It was not by relying on anyone's comfort that he survived, but by relying on complete hatred and awareness to transform and grow.
"Master, Aunt Sakura...what about Sarada?"
Boruto was extremely worried. Now that he and Sarada had both lost their mother, he knew the pain deeply.
If Sarada knew that it was her father who killed her mother, he was afraid that Sarada would collapse on the spot, just like he had before, falling into a hell of despair.
"Don't tell her for now. She's still in the village and probably doesn't know this."
"I will handle the rest of the problem myself."
Sasuke ignored the question, obviously not wanting to talk more; because Uchiha's heart is often not as cold as it appears on the outside.
Naruto knew this best, Sasuke was cold on the outside, but extremely warm on the inside!
