Chapter 949: Sasuke and Tobi
After returning home, Sasuke went straight to Fugaku's study and waited. It wasn't until evening that Fugaku finished work and returned home.
"Dad!" Hearing the commotion outside, Sasuke hurried out.
"Sasuke, you're back early today."
Fugaku commented casually as he walked towards his study, "By the way, has the new Jonin Instructor for Team 7 shown up?"
Since Tenzo was captured by Orochimaru, Team 7 had been essentially 'scrapped', making Naruto, Sasuke, and Karin unable to leave for the mission, and could only 'stay idle' at home.
It's indeed quite annoying.
Especially when Fugaku remembers the scene of Sasuke being beaten up by Lee in the finals, this thought made him even more frustrated. He wished he could just send Sasuke out into the Shinobi World to toughen up!
"Not yet."
Sasuke replied seriously, "Dad, I have something important to tell you!"
"What is it?" Fugaku's steps paused."Dad, I want to learn the Dojutsu that summons the giant great demon god!" Sasuke exclaimed loudly.
"Summons the giant great demon god?"
Fugaku was taken aback, then realized Sasuke was referring to Susanoo.
"That's Susanoo, one of the ultimate Dojutsu of the Sharingan. However, this is not something a Shinobi of your level could touch. Don't aim too high!"
Fugaku looked sternly at his younger son, "Focus on solid training step by step. Stop thinking about these unrealistic things, understand?!"
"But… "Sasuke was anxious and just wanted to explain, but Fugaku was not in the mood to listen anymore.
He waved his hand and went straight into the study, then closed the door behind him.
'Damn it!'n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Sasuke is furious, and fiercely stomped to the hallway.
He decided to run away from home for the night, so that his father will be anxious!
Leaving home, Sasuke walked until he reached Naruto's house.
He quietly approached the window and looked inside. He saw Minato, the Yondaime Hokage, sitting at the dining table in the warmly furnished living room, eating alone.
At this time, it was already late at night, well past dinner time, so only Minato was at the table.
Not far from the dining table, in the cozy living room, Naruto was lying on the couch eating potato chips. He was talking while eating, and the couch was covered in crumbs.
Next to Naruto, the red-haired Kushina was slapping the sofa and shouted loudly, seemingly criticizing Naruto's eating habits or something else… Sasuke couldn't hear clearly.
Minato occasionally glanced at Kushina and Naruto. Sasuke couldn't see his expression, but he imagined it must be full of warmth.
'My Mom loves me very much, but my Dad…' Sasuke recalled Fugaku's impatient expression when he refused him, then felt a mix of sadness, frustration, and anger.
He departed sadly, walked out of Konoha and wandered to Naka Shrine. (T/N: The Author changed Naka Shrine's location to outside of village instead of inside the village.)
Unfortunately, under the torii gate bathed in the silver glow of the moonlight, he saw his brother Itachi and Izumi in a romantic embrace.
'Why is this happening?!'
Sasuke's heart shattered, feeling abandoned by the entire world. He ran into the depths of the night with tears in his eyes.
He didn't know how long he had run when he suddenly felt something trip him, causing him to fall hard to the ground.
"Who?!" Sasuke jumped up from the ground, pulled out a kunai and looked around warily.
"As expected of the Uchiha Clan's latest genius, you're really vigilant." A playful voice came from nearby.
Sasuke turned his head to look, and frowned suddenly as he saw the 'person' in front of him has white skin, looking like a tiger with albinism.
"Who are you?" Sasuke asked haughtily.
"My name is Tobi, and I am a very, very powerful Shinobi!" White Zetsu's clone, Tobi, said with a grin.
Tobi originally followed Obito Uchiha, but when Obito made a mistake in his battle with Minato and was knocked out by a Rasengan. At that time, Tobi was beyond his reach even if he wanted to save Obito, so he could only watch as Obito was captured and taken to Konoha.
Afterwards, he contacted Zetsu, and after some discussion, Zetsu went to Ryuchi Cave to seek Orochimaru's cooperation, while Tobi continued to lurk near Konoha, waiting for an opportunities.
Then he saw a youngster wearing Uchiha attire under the night sky, with an angry and depressed face.
Tobi, as the intelligence liaison next to Obito, recognized the youngster's identity at a glance. With the information he had, he decided to make a move, so he approached him.
"Tobi?" Sasuke didn't recognize him.
"You look unhappy. Maybe I can help you if you tell me what's wrong." Tobi said.
"Help me? With just you?" Sasuke scoffed disdainfully, then put away his kunai and headed back towards Konoha.
"Although I am not from the Uchiha Clan, I know many secrets about the Uchiha Clan, such as… the Sharingan." Tobi bewitched with a smile.
"You think I'll believe what you said?" Sasuke continued walking without looking back, leaving Tobi with a haughty, cold, and elegant back.
"It seems that you won't believe it if I don't come up with something real."
Tobi spread his hands and said, "After Uchiha Clan's Sharingan evolved to three-tomoe, it actually can still continue to evolve."
'Continue to evolve?'
Sasuke found it amusing. As the second son of Uchiha Clan's Clan Head, he has never heard of any level beyond the three-tomoe Sharingan after living for more than ten years.
"Crazy." Sasuke cursed under his breath.
Tobi was not angry by this, and continued: "The Sharingan beyond the three-tomoe is called the Mangekyo Sharingan! After awakening Mangekyo Sharingan, the three tomoes in your eyes will undergo mysterious changes, forming a completely new pattern. "
'Idiot!'
'How could the tomoes in the Sharingan change?'
'Do you think this is a comic book?'
Sasuke sneered coldly as he walked away.
But it didn't take long for him to walk back again, his face… gloomy.
Because he remembered that during the final of Chunin Exams, after the start of the war, the three tomoes in his father's Sharingan did undergo a mysterious transformation!
'Could this guy be telling the truth?'
'On top of three-tomoe, there is a higher level of Sharingan?'
"Hahahaha…" Tobi couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw Sasuke like this.
"Hurry up and continue talking!!" Sasuke fly into a rage out of humiliation and said.
"Don't worry, don't worry."
Tobi waved his hand and stopped laughing. "After awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan, not only does your pupil power greatly increase, but you also gain extremely terrifying Dojutsu, such as… summoning a great demon god from hell to fight!"
"Demon god?" Sasuke's eyes gleamed as he shrewdly asked, "What demon god?"
"Susanoo!" Tobi replied.
Sasuke's pupils shrank upon hearing this.
'Same as Dad just told me.'
'Susanoo!'
'In other words, Dad had evolved his Sharingan to the Mangekyo… The Sharingan of this level must be very powerful, right?'
'If I awaken the Mangekyo, I can summon Susanoo, and then I can definitely crush Naruto and Rock Lee, maybe even Jonin!'
'I…'
'I…want it so much.'
Sasuke's heart itched with desire, and he looked at Tobi with a face full of yearning, hoping he would continue and reveal the method to awaken the Mangekyo.
But after a while, Tobi just kept smiling without saying anything else.
This makes Sasuke anxious.
"Hey, your name is Tobi, right?"
Sasuke put his hands in his pockets and raised his head haughtily at a forty-five-degree angle, then said with a snort, "Tell me how to awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan, and I'll pay you a large sum of money!"
"If money could buy the information on evolving the Mangekyo, how much do you think it would be worth?" Tobi asked with a smile.
Sasuke stared at him gloomily, and his right hand had already taken out a kunai again.
'Since you don't tell me, then I'll…'
"Wait."
Tobi seemed to see through his intentions and said, "Actually, I can tell you the information about evolving the Mangekyo, but the premise is that you have to know how precious this information is!"
"What do you mean?" Sasuke's head was a little dizzy.
"The meaning is very simple. Go home and ask your parents, or even your brother, see if they are willing to tell you about the Mangekyo."
Tobi said with a smile, "they tell you, then there's nothing for us to discuss. But if even your closest ones are unwilling to tell you about the Mangekyo, then you will understand the value of this information is far more precious than so-called family bonds. Right, Uchiha... Sasuke?"
What do you think?
