[NARUTO] Night of the Full Moon

Because they did not get a new "container", they allowed the prisoners here to fight and devour the final winner.

The new body of Orochimaru seen before was born here.

Sasuke once again realized what a disgusting monster his choice of Orochimaru was.

Orochimaru's existence itself is like the embodiment of this cruel world, with killing, blood, and decay in the deeper darkness.For the benefit of those in power, other humble lives can disappear so quietly.

Now, in order to face the truth of the world, Sasuke jumped into this smelly sea of ​​blood without hesitation, not knowing where he would be carried by the darkness.

Sasuke closed his eyes, feeling the cold temperature against the skin on his chest.That was the pendant given by Naruto, reminding Sasuke that there are still people in this world who have a heart of innocence like Naruto, and they are not hopeless.

"Am I going to practice here in the future?" Sasuke calmed down and asked calmly.

When working with such people, he needs to be cautious at all times to prevent backlash.

Yakushi Kabuto's eyes flickered, as if he was surprised by Sasuke's calmness, but he quickly concealed his emotions and returned to his smiling face: "How could I neglect you so much? I'm just introducing you to the situation here, The follow-up staff will be added soon so that you can come here to practice at any time.”

In order to survive, even the worst warriors can unleash their impressive potential.Defeating these desperadoes is part of Sasuke's training mission.

Sasuke has newly gained the power of the curse seal. In order to control it and use it freely, he really needs combat experience.

But Sasuke didn't agree with such a disrespectful approach to human life.

So when the training actually started, Sasuke avoided the enemy's vital points with the knife, only taking away the opponent's mobility without harming his life.

"Being soft-hearted is not a smart move." Kabuto Yakushi, who temporarily took over for Orochimaru to look after Sasuke, said.

"Leaving a breath requires more precision than killing the opponent." Sasuke said calmly, "Do you think Itachi can be killed with just one blow?"

It is true that in battles between strong men, the situation can often be reversed in a matter of seconds.Leaving the left and right alive could save some money on collecting test subjects, so Orochimaru finally acquiesced to Sasuke's behavior.

The training methods here are not as gentle as those in Konoha Village, and more extreme than the special training during the Warring States Period.Most clansmen during the Warring States Period mainly honed their sword skills in practice, and Sasuke didn't have many opportunities to participate in battles.Moreover, the existing types of ninjutsu are far richer than those in the Warring States Period.

In addition to having people feed Sasuke swords and teach Sasuke to adapt to the power of the curse seal, Orochimaru also gave him many thunder escape ninjutsu to improve Sasuke's understanding of thunder escape and organize the coordination of moves in actual combat.I don't know where Orochimaru collected the many ninjutsu from. Even if he only opened the tip of the iceberg to Sasuke, it would be staggering enough.

With such a sense of urgency in training as close to a high-voltage line and abundant resources, Sasuke was able to fully control the power of the curse seal in less than a month, and raised his body's agility to the extreme.

At this point, the attacks of a few scattered people were no longer enough for Sasuke to worry about. During the training, the number of units facing each other increased to dozens and even hundreds.

The boring and complicated training in the harsh environment made Sasuke's eyes darken day by day, and the originally dark pupils were filled with more and more frightening intimidation.

Madara also noticed something was wrong with Sasuke.

During the recent interactions, Sasuke occasionally had the opportunity to take action, and it could be seen that his sword skills became more and more powerful each time.Although his expression was still calm when facing his tribe, the indifference hidden in his eyes was growing day by day.

"Did something happen?" Madara asked Sasuke when he had some free time.

Sasuke was stunned for a moment, then understood that Madara, who had always paid special attention to his brothers, could not have noticed something strange about him, so he calmly explained: "The village is full of dangers, so I found someone else to cooperate, and the training will be more difficult."

Madara was silent.When he learned that the Uchiha clan had been slaughtered in the village founded by him and Hashirama, he understood that the situation in the village was not as peaceful as they had previously expected.Even though Sasuke knew from the information revealed before that the Uchiha's downfall was due to internal strife, he had been secretly fighting with the nobles for a long time, and he was certain that there must be an external driving force behind the internal strife.

"This is why you were always injured when you came here before."

Only then did Sasuke's face show a hint of embarrassment commensurate with his age: "You already know."

"Everyone is very concerned about you, but they don't understand your situation, so just tell Huo He to tell me." Madara rubbed Sasuke's hair.

Sasuke's body grew very quickly, and it could be seen that although the current situation was difficult, the nutrients needed by his body had not been lost.Not knowing that Sasuke's partner wanted his body, Madara thought the situation wasn't too bad.

"If you encounter any trouble over there, you can talk to us. You are not alone." Madara's tone was gentle, making people feel warm and reliable.

"Yeah." Sasuke responded.In the snake cave, being monitored by probing eyes that seemed to be everywhere, just walking with Madara in the forest seemed much easier.Madara is right, he still has the support of these Warring States clansmen. Although he cannot directly participate in the battle, their experience and wisdom can be borrowed.

What's more, caring itself can inspire the hidden power in the human heart.

In this way, just when Sasuke had become accustomed to the life of practicing in the snake cave and coming to the Warring States Period once a month, the bad news of great changes came again.

After leaving Konoha, every time he returned to the Warring States Period, Sasuke would always be not far from Madara. It was not that he did not appear near the clan, but even within the clan it was rare for so many people to gather.

Sasuke looked at the crowded but silent tribesmen forming a circle in front of him. After discovering Sasuke, the tribesmen on the outside spontaneously opened a passage to allow Sasuke to go in.

Sasuke merged into the crowd and moved forward solemnly. This solemn atmosphere made him feel something was wrong.

When there were only dozens of people in front of him, Sasuke finally saw the scene in front of him - several elders of the clan were standing in the front row with Madara and Izuna, and the inscription he faced was the name of Uchiha Tajima who had just fallen.

The Uchiha clan leader, Sasuke's nominal "father" in this world, was killed in battle.

Izuna was slightly surprised when he looked back and saw Sasuke. He quickly lowered his eyebrows and motioned for Sasuke to stand beside him.

In the Warring States Period, when the average age was only 33 years old, death on the battlefield seemed to be a destined trajectory, and even as the leader of a clan, he would not change it.But for Sasuke, this day still came too soon.

Obviously, everything was developing steadily and for the better during the previous few visits, and the confrontation between the clan and the nobles was already quite large.Why did the patriarch suddenly pass away at this time?

Sasuke, who had not witnessed Tajima's burial, faced the sudden bad news blankly. Before he could feel sad, the clan members had already ended the funeral and gathered at the family ancestral hall.

Sasuke followed the crowd to the ancestral hall and stood there when he heard the great elder announcing that they had to elect a new clan leader.

Unlike the current Konoha Village where the position of Hokage can be temporarily vacant, the Warring States Period cannot tolerate even two days of chaos.Immediately after the funeral of the previous patriarch, they had to elect a new leader immediately.

For the sake of the stability of the family, this is an established process, but the great elder raised objections when nominating the candidate for clan leader: "Our Uchiha clan has been inherited for hundreds of years and can be in a transcendent position even in the chaos of war. It is precisely because We are strong on strength. Personal combat power and the strength of the family group are the key to the survival of the family. However, Tajima dispersed the power within the clan and insisted on spending energy on the aristocratic forces without conflict, which led to the clan facing difficulties several times! "

"Great Elder!" Quan Nai retorted sharply, "The affairs of the clan have always been agreed upon jointly by you. My father has never acted arbitrarily!"

"We need to make various attempts for the development of the family, but without Tajima's full guarantee, we would not agree to choose this method at all. What's more, the six years of actions have not achieved any results, which has proved the decision made by Tajima It’s simply wrong! Why join other ninja clans to attack the nobles? It was precisely because of his weak mentality of reconciling with the enemy ninja clan that he died on the battlefield this time! "

Madara, who had been half-hanging his head, suddenly raised his head.He knew that the tug-of-war with the nobles had reached a bottleneck, but he never thought that his father, who always disagreed with his ideas, would ever consider uniting with other ninjas.

Different from his original ridiculous idea, my father thought more deeply.He also knew that in the face of the complex criss-crossing forces of the nobles, it was impossible to restore the status of ninjas with only the power of a ninja clan.But he never put these ideas into words easily. Instead, he planned step by step, found a breakthrough with the nobles, and achieved results that made other ninjas shaken and relaxed before discussing the feasibility of the matter with the family elders.

It's just that he failed in this battle.

Why did he lose this battle?

Madara's eyes were bloodshot, and his nails pierced his palms without even realizing it.

The great elder finally mentioned that he believed that under such circumstances, Uchiha Madara, who inherited Uchiha Tajima's philosophy, was not a suitable candidate for the new clan leader.

And just when the son of the great elder stepped forward in response, trying to challenge Madara Uchiha to prove his personal ability, he was stopped in place by Madara's following glance.

Those are a pair of "Shura" eyes.

Madara, who had always had a reputation, had never stared at his own people with such terrifying eyes.Now, those pupils filled with hatred and violence were so red that they were actually shedding tears of blood.

All the Uchiha relied on the excellent vision gifted by their own blood to clearly see that the rotating Sharingan Magatama in Uchiha Madara's eyes expanded from the center into a hollow shape, and connected end to end to form a new pattern.

That is - the Mangekyo Sharingan that only appears once in the entire Uchiha clan in decades.
