Chapter 162: Sasuke's Mysterious Confidence

Kurotsuchi was stunned.

Why did this man have such confidence? Did he truly believe that under Konoha's rule, the shinobi world would no longer erupt into wars?

For a moment, Kurotsuchi's emotions were complicated. Ryujiro had killed her grandfather, and logically, she should wish for Ryujiro's death.

Of course, there was still some hatred in Kurotsuchi's heart towards Ryujiro.

However, when Ryujiro spoke of an unprecedented era, Kurotsuchi's eyes revealed a longing.

She wanted to see if that era would indeed be as peaceful as Ryujiro claimed, with no more wars.

Under absolute power, there might be issues with public order, but large-scale wars would not break out in the shinobi world.

Madara's Eye of the Moon plan was also a peace plan, but it only trapped people in a false dream, without any real change.

Neither Madara nor Hashirama had ever thought of this path. Perhaps it was Ryujiro's experiences in his past life that led him to the idea of unification.

Kurotsuchi's figure gradually disappeared.

Ryujiro did not care about Kurotsuchi's departure.

Perhaps Kurotsuchi would seek revenge in the future, but if she were smart, she would know that nothing she did could affect Ryujiro.

Submitting to Konoha and Ryujiro was the only way out.

Gazing at the Stone Village, Ryujiro's eyes glinted.

It was time to bring the Land of Lightning under Konoha's control.

At Orochimaru's base, Kimimaro and Kira had already left. Now, only two figures remained.

They were both out controlling other small villages in the shinobi world.

They showed no mercy to rebels, knowing that at their core, they were still killing Hollows.

Ryujiro's offer of a way out was to submit and not be killed.

Faced with their absolute power, those who resisted quickly lost their will when spiritual pressure was released.

Of course, each village had a few strong-willed individuals, but they all became dust in the history of the shinobi world's unification.

Kabuto looked at Itachi in his Hollow form, a flash of envy in his eyes.

What a perfect form.

Unfortunately, he was not qualified.

In fact, Kabuto was qualified but had never mentioned it. If he wanted to become a Hollow, he only needed to tell Ryujiro.

But the instinctive fear he had for Ryujiro made it difficult for him to speak.

Kabuto had lost much of his madness due to many influences.

Now, he willingly served as a henchman under Orochimaru.

Soon, he would head to Stone Village as Orochimaru's assistant. Considering his strength, Ryujiro had long planned to turn Kabuto into a Hollow.

The base was silent. Itachi sat quietly in one place the entire time, and Kabuto did not dare disturb him.

He kept busy with his own tasks.

At this moment, a familiar presence appeared at the entrance of Orochimaru's base. Detecting this chakra, Kabuto's face changed.

Looking at where Itachi had been, Itachi's figure had already disappeared.

Sasuke's eyes were deep as he looked inside the base. This place...

A flash of cold light flickered in his eyes, and his chakra was about to burst out when suddenly, a figure made him freeze.

Sasuke stared blankly at the figure, his heart racing, as if he had seen a ghost.

"No! This is impossible!"

"Aren't you already!"

Sasuke's expression trembled as he looked at Itachi before him. Of course, when he noticed the hollow in Itachi's body, he instantly understood.

"It was Ryujiro! Did Ryujiro resurrect you?!"

"This form! Have you also become a Hollow?!"

"Answer me! Itachi!"

Learning the truth, Sasuke seemed to lose his sanity upon seeing Itachi again.

His heart was filled with fear.

Because!

He had personally killed his beloved brother.

Itachi sighed, "Sasuke, you already know the truth."

"In this form, you should understand better than anyone."

"Your eyes..."

"It seems you have taken my eyes."

Thud.

Sasuke felt a heavy blow to his chest, and his breathing became uneven.

The next moment, Sasuke roared in fury.

"That guy! That guy actually toys with the souls of the dead!"

"I will kill him! Kill him!"

Sasuke couldn't accept that Itachi was still alive. When a dead person appeared before him, anyone would struggle to remain calm.

Itachi frowned and sternly scolded, "Calm down, Sasuke."

"This current state of mine isn't all bad."

"At least I can witness the new history of the shinobi world with my own eyes."

Sasuke's expression changed slightly, and his emotions gradually calmed down.

He looked darkly at Itachi, sensing once again the brother who had protected him.

"Itachi, I have many questions for you."

Sasuke was mainly concerned about whether the truth Obito had told him was real.

"If Madara told you, then it's true."

"But...perhaps my choice was wrong."

"I was too confident and failed to recognize my own helplessness. The choice I made back then was wrong from the start."

Itachi's face showed a self-deprecating smile.

Sasuke angrily stared at Itachi and shouted, "Father! Mother! The Uchiha clan members, were they less important than those Konoha people?!"

To Sasuke, Konoha was the culprit behind the Uchiha clan's destruction. He couldn't understand why his brother abandoned the clan to side with Konoha.

Itachi remained silent.

Only by experiencing it firsthand could one understand the powerlessness of that choice.

Whether it was the Uchiha or Konoha, conflict between the two brought no benefits.

Even if the Uchiha clan won against Konoha in the end, they couldn't rule Konoha. By then, Konoha's residents already feared the Uchiha.

That fear began with the Nine-Tails' rampage.

From the start, the Uchiha had no way out. Now that Sasuke was alive, Itachi saw hope for the Uchiha clan's revival.

Seeing the helpless expression on Itachi's face, Sasuke's emotions were very complicated.

He had never seen such an expression on Itachi's face.

But what Sasuke said next moved Itachi's expression.

"For the clan, I will avenge Konoha."

Itachi's face changed instantly. He said in a low voice, "Are you joking?"

"Do you think having the power of the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan makes you a match for Ryujiro?!"

Sasuke sneered at his brother, a confident smile on his face. "Itachi, you don't understand the power of these eyes at all."

Why the hell does Sasuke have this kind of mysterious confidence? He clearly doesn't understand Ryujiro's power!
