[NARUTO] Night of the Full Moon

Later, Madara returned from his mission.

"Eh? Is Sasuke here?" After handing over the task, Madara didn't notice Sasuke until dinner.

The most surprising thing was the plate of Inari sushi placed on the table.

Although Sasuke said that it had been stored for a day and was not in good condition, in the eyes of Tajima and Madara, it was already excellent and could even be used as an offering to ancestors.

Tajima naturally knew where these things came from, but he was still a little shocked when he actually saw them.In the future world, things of this grade can already be bought and sold at will.Or, as Sasuke said, this is no longer a very good material.

In more than a month, they had sorted out Sasuke's memories that they had previously detected using genjutsu.In the Country of Fire, Konoha Hidden Village, all ninja clans live together, and the current ruler is the Sarutobi clan.The youngest son in the village does not enter the ninja school until he is six years old. Except for special periods, he can graduate and become a genin at the earliest age of 12. 12 years old...many children in the clan will never live to that age.

Tajima's eyes became deeper.This child, maybe God asked him to tell this so that they can be prepared.

Who wouldn’t look forward to such a future?But in that future, the Uchiha clan was exterminated, and their mortal enemy, the Senju clan, occupied the existence of the first and second Hokage.Will the future confrontation give Senju the upper hand?The relationship between the Uchiha and the village seems to be very tense, and he does not hold an important position.It all makes sense in a village founded by the Senju.But Sasuke was quite popular in the class, but the Uzumaki child who was related to Senju by marriage had always been excluded.It’s just a child, those teachers will never fail to understand the competition between each other.Hard to say.

Madara didn't think too much, he just realized more and more that this Sasuke had a bigger secret than he imagined.And... Sasuke's attitude towards him became distant again.

After dinner, Madara was doing maintenance on his weapons in his room when he sensed Sasuke standing at the door.

"Come in." Madara turned around and watched the door being pushed open little by little.

"What do you want from me?" Madara's tone still contained the usual gentleness of his brother, but his hand holding the handle of the knife tightened.

Sasuke's eyes were as cloudy as the darkening sky outside the door, with hatred melting inside.

Living in an era of war and strife, as the eldest son of the Uchiha clan leader and a figure on the enemy's assassination list, Madara had seen countless eyes filled with hatred like this.But there is something different about Sasuke. His hatred does not seem to be directed at himself.Maybe it just came out because he was too young to control it.

"Madara, do you want to gain power?" Sasuke stood at the door and asked him without walking in.Perhaps confronting Madara with his back to the closed door made him instinctively feel fear.

"Who doesn't want to become stronger?" Madara discovered something was wrong with Sasuke. This conversation may allow him to find out the hidden corner of Sasuke.

"What if this power requires the life of your best friend?"

Madara frowned: "As long as you practice diligently, you will naturally gain strength. Those weird sacrifices piled up cannot be considered truly powerful."

Madara stood up and approached Sasuke: "What did you hear?"

Since he is an Uchiha child, he cannot just sit idly by. It seems that it must be related to the stimulation Sasuke received before. In conjunction with those strange words, is it a wizard?

Sasuke looked into Madara's eyes, and he wasn't sure whether the concern in them was fake.He suddenly felt something strange in his heart.

"Are you concerned about me?" Sasuke said, "Obviously we have only met three times."

"You are my brother."

"No, I'm not." Sasuke said, looking at the emotion in Madara's eyes, he understood something in a flash.

The prerequisite for obtaining the Mangekyo Sharingan is to kill one's "closest friend", not an ordinary person, so the affection is real.It was just abandoned in the final trade-off with power.

"Is it worth it... is it worth it to exchange the life of a friend for strength?"

"It's not worth it." Madara said firmly. He held Sasuke's shoulders and told him word for word, "There is nothing, it is worth trading the life of a friend. There is nothing."

"Including now, it is wrong to exchange the lives of children for victory in the war!"

Sasuke didn't expect to get such an answer.

Even in later eras, during times of war, the village would lower the age for graduating from ninja school and send young genin to the battlefield.However, in the most chaotic Warring States period, this man, who was later called Shura, actually said that nothing was worth sacrificing human life for.

Was it necessary for Madara to lie to him?No, deception doesn't say things like this that go against the grain of what most people think.

What changed him?Or... those records are simply false.

Those words passed through Sasuke's mind again.Sasuke looked up and looked directly into Madara's eyes.

"Okay, I believe you." This time.

"Can you practice a set of nin-kumite with me?"

Although he didn't understand what Sasuke was thinking, Madara simply agreed to his request: "Okay."

"Raise your right hand higher."

"Too slow."

"Shoulder." Madara pointed out the gap in the opponent's defense and slapped Sasuke away with a palm.The strength in his hand was well controlled, and Sasuke took a few steps back to stabilize his body before stepping forward.

"Correct."

"Strength."

"The footing is unstable."

Sweeping Sasuke's legs, Sasuke fell backwards, but in the middle he turned over with one hand on the ground, kicked Madara back, and then lowered his center to lie half on the ground.

"There is progress."

"Brother!" Izuna, who was sent by Tajima to run errands, came back and saw Madara and Sasuke practicing happily.Ah, this Sasuke really wants to steal his brother, it's too much!

"Haha, Quan Na, do you want to come with us?" Madara stretched out his hand to him, inviting him to join the battle.

After hearing this, Quan Nai immediately rushed forward with strength on her feet: "Then I'll go!"

Sasuke and Izuna joined forces to attack, and Madara's movements became more agile.As a result, he lost even faster.

"Hey, Sasuke, don't hold yourself back."

"You just don't want to disrupt my offensive line."

"Ha! Does your soft movement deserve to be called an attack?" Izuna opened her stance towards Madara, but turned her head to look at Sasuke provocatively.

Izuna said and stepped forward again.

It is undeniable that Izuna's movements are indeed much more brutal and brutal than Sasuke's.There were times when even Madara wouldn't take his punches.

Sasuke looked on, feeling a little more enlightened.Finally finding the opportunity, he aimed at the gap behind Madara and punched him.Madara cleverly avoided it.

"how is this possible!"

"You two are still far behind!" Madara grabbed Sasuke's wrist with his backhand and threw him onto Izuna.

"Izuna is born stronger than others, Sasuke doesn't have to learn from him." Madara pointed, "You have to find your own advantages."

When the moon came out of the clouds, Sasuke's figure and aura suddenly disappeared.

"This kind of power... is too unbelievable." Madara's face looked a little ugly, "Did Izuna find any omens?"

"Never."

Here Sasuke opened his eyes, it was already a brand new day.He still held the box containing the tofu skin sushi in his arms and opened it. The only sushi left for reference was placed in the corner of the box.It seems that the things eaten in that world will not come back with him.

By analogy, the same may be true for damaged items.However, there were no traces of the scratches on Sasuke's body caused by the previous sparring.It is possible that damage to a certain extent can be recovered.

Although he was very clean now, he felt a little sticky because of his training in that world, so he still got up and took a shower before going to school.

Sasuke now never mentions dropping out of school.Although his opponent was weak, it was still better to have someone to practice against than to practice alone.Not only rely on your own movement instincts to defeat the enemy, but also find out the opponent's weaknesses and use them as analogies to your own to adjust your attack methods.

Sasuke, who was already outstanding among the students, is now getting even better.But considering the change in his mentality caused by the family tragedy and the intensity of training that many chuunin teachers constantly admired, no one was surprised.

Sasuke, who had to run around the village every day, also discovered something unexpected.

Every time he passed by the river, he would see Uzumaki Naruto practicing shuriken.

Will the guy at the bottom of the class also train so hard?

Unknowingly, Sasuke would subconsciously glance in that direction every time he passed by.Ah...that kind of guy knows how to work hard, and he won't give up.

During free sparring in the class again, Sasuke slightly curled his lips when faced with Uzumaki Naruto who rushed up and shouted provocatively.A little bit of anticipation.

Then the opponent lost without any suspense.Losing miserably.

Sasuke curled his lips a little boredly, wondering why he expected anything from this guy at the end of the crane.Tsk, the guy at the bottom is really at the bottom.

After knocking people down several times cleanly, Sasuke no longer wanted to accept this person's challenge.

It really failed him in his daily efforts and made no progress at all.No... there is still a difference. At least two of the shurikens that were always flying in the sky in the past can stay on the target.Although Sasuke's worst result would be much better than this, it is undeniable that this is also Naruto's progress.

Sasuke looked at the man lying on the ground with his hair covered in dust, but he still propped himself up and swung at him with his fist raised.

Sasuke dodged and did not kick the person back this time.

"Okay, that's it." The teacher shouted to stop, "Let's tie the seal of reconciliation."

Naruto's attacks never really landed on Sasuke.The people around burst into laughter, laughing at Naruto for always challenging Sasuke over his own abilities.

"Uchiha Sasuke! One day...one day, I will definitely defeat you!" Naruto shouted loudly, "I will do what I say!"

The laughter grew louder.

Sasuke gradually frowned.If you think about it carefully, Naruto is not completely devoid of progress.It's just that this speed is much slower than him, so it has only been able to touch the corner of his clothes.But Naruto's eyes made Sasuke seem to see the same kind, although he did not accept that a weak guy like Naruto could be his kind.

"If you still know how to use your brain when practicing." Sasuke responded expressionlessly, "Maybe there is still a possibility of chasing me."
