Naruto's Endless Pretense

The north wind is gradually picking up, making autumn and winter nights particularly deserted.Not only the cold weather, but also the lack of people's anger made the area feel desolate and gloomy.

It was such a silent night, like a snowy night.

In a valley fortress with no visible problems from the outside, a group of people were gathering around a long table to discuss countermeasures.These people are the main culprits who caused the tragedy in those villages.

There are rebellious ninjas from big ninja villages like Konoha Kirigakure, and there are ninjas from small ninja villages like Taki ninja and rain ninja.There are even some wandering ninjas without forehead protectors or forehead protectors without patterns, and a considerable number of samurai ronin are also involved.It doesn't take much to think that such a complex organization is an unorganized and disciplined gang.

Even such a group of people are having a heated discussion under the dim light at this moment.Even if there is no battle, the one with more temples will win. They still understand this truth.The reckless men who can't think have long since died in the chaotic society, but this time they didn't figure out the real opponent they should deal with.

"I would say it is better to leave this island first and pacify several other small countries that have been sending troops. Even ordinary people will be tired if they are always harassed by them behind their backs."

A warrior with long hair and a dragon tattooed on his arm kept slapping the table, expressing his thoughts to everyone like a rabid dog.His fierce words and actions caused the candlelight in the room to sway constantly, pulling his shadow into a chaotic mess.

"I disagree!"

A middle-aged man wearing a Kirigakure forehead protector sitting opposite him raised an objection in a cold voice.

"You are just a samurai who has never participated in a large-scale war. At most, you have only been hired by others, so you do not understand the horror of war. Waging a war against a country is different from invading these loose villages. Organized armed forces are very different. It will easily drag us into the quagmire.”

These words were very pertinent, but they seemed to touch the red line of the long-haired warrior.He immediately became furious and roared at the Kirigakure traitor.

"Stop acting like you don't understand anything. I've had enough of your calm and superior tone! Haven't you just been in Kirigakure before? Indeed, we are the ones who The warriors may not be as strong as you and have never been on the battlefield, but I will never attack my teammates!"

This Kirigakure rebellious ninja defected from Kirigakure Village during the Blood Mist Policy, and had also done dirty things in dealing with his own intelligence personnel.As soon as the long-haired samurai mentioned this, the Kirigakure ninja couldn't sit still anymore and stood up directly.

"What do you mean? I'm just giving advice for everyone, you don't need to say that, right?"

"What do I mean? I'm just reminding everyone that you, a 'companion' who looks down on the samurai, may attack from behind."

The long-haired samurai pulled out his sword with a "swipe" sound, and the Kirigakure rebel nin also immediately took out his kunai and started to confront him.The two men's actions were like the sound of a trumpet. The ninjas and samurai followed the two men as if they were standing in line and picked up their weapons.

"That's enough! Do you still think of me as the leader?"

With a deep roar, the table where everyone was sitting split into two halves in the middle. The aura was so powerful that it made everyone on both sides fall silent.This momentum comes from a red-haired young man sitting in the middle.

"Kazuma, Ryo. You two are the banners of our organization and partners who work together. Your strength and brains are quite outstanding. Why do you have to make trouble like this every time?"

The red-haired young man smiled while scanning with cold eyes the samurai named Kazuma and the ninja named Ryo beside him.These two people are his capable subordinates, but they always give him headaches because of their different identities.

"Kazuma, you are right. Those armies are annoying. But you are still too impatient. Angry animals will break their canine teeth. Can't you listen to other people's opinions? Ryo, you too. Don't always say so. With thorns, I haven’t been on the battlefield, so why don’t I still become your leader?”

"I'm so sorry, Chief. It was my mistake."

"Yes, I'm sorry, Ash. I was too irritable."

I had to bow down to this powerful chakra and terrifying murderous intent.If he didn't bow his head and admit his mistake, the leader who talked about his companions would definitely kill himself to establish his prestige.

Seeing that the leaders of the two forces were subdued, Ash sighed and began to state his thoughts.

"What Kazuma said makes sense. Those countries that covet this island are troublesome. Even if we don't get along now, there will be friction in the future. But compared with those countries, before we officially take control of this island, our organization cannot Without effective combat power replenishment, even if we defeat those countries, we will only lose personnel in vain. This is not cost-effective."

"Everyone must be clear about our purpose. We have wasted so much effort here, isn't it just to build our own country? Now according to our intelligence, the heritage of the Kingdom of Whirlpool will be available soon. Think about that change Uzumaki, with this kind of power, do we still need to fight the enemy personally?"

"So let's avoid unnecessary fighting for now. Anyway, we have almost collected the labor force on the island."

After hearing this, people on both sides showed expressions of approval, which made Ashi feel very satisfied. He waved his hand and dismissed the issue.The adjutant-like person next to him saw this and immediately stepped forward to organize a meeting.

"Then the next question is about the young people in the four villages on the island. Their health and caretakers..."

Just when everyone was calming down and thinking about the problem, the door blocked by rocks actually shattered like tissue paper, and the slightly chilly winter wind blew out the candlelight.

This was not a natural accident. The young man in a trench coat holding a long black knife at the door seemed to be the one who broke the stone door.And although he was smiling, he didn't look very friendly. The blood dripping from the tip of the knife was a good proof.

"Why did you stop? You obviously just got to the part that interests me."

Sasuke put away Daoxue and walked forward slowly, casually pushing away the people on both sides as if moving tables and chairs that were blocking the way.And those samurai ninjas who were touched fell to the ground with livid faces.

"Who are you? What have you done to my men?"

Ash stood up and said in a deep voice.This situation means that as the leader, he has the courage to come out and face this plague god who comes from nowhere.But Sasuke gave him a friendly smile like a friend from afar.

"It doesn't matter who I am. Your subordinates are all fine for the time being. Except of course the minions outside." As he spoke, Sasuke turned his head slightly and glanced outside the door mockingly.

"Your hair is red, are you a survivor of the Uzumaki clan?"

An inexplicable chill blew with the cold wind, and Ashu couldn't help but shudder.His legs couldn't stand and he had to sit back in his seat. Only then did he realize that it was not the wind, but the murderous aura emanating from the young man in front of him.

What a realistic murderous intention, the cold wind like a knife makes people almost think that this is not murderous intention.What a terrible person, his gentle and innocent smile seems simply terrifying now.

"No, that's right. My name is Ash, and I am a survivor of the Whirlpool clan. I came to this island just to rebuild the Kingdom of Whirlpool, and I don't have any other ideas."

"what?"

As if he heard a joke, Sasuke held onto the armrest of Ash's chair and laughed so hard that he shed tears.

come out.

"What's so funny? I'm just here to get what belongs to me. I didn't offend you."

Maybe it was Sasuke's smile that made the atmosphere less heavy, or maybe it was the reason he gave that made him feel vindicated. Even though Ash used honorifics, he still questioned him directly.But the next moment he realized how stupid he was.

"Get your things back? Is this how you treat your treasure? You are just a shameless war criminal and a robber!"

Without even seeing the moment of the shot, Ash found himself falling to the ground, his face being stepped on firmly with his feet.Sasuke leaned down and formed the Chidori seal, gesticulating back and forth against Ash's throat.

"Tell me! Where are the people in the village you imprisoned?"

Ash looked into the eyes of Sasuke who was so close, and he finally understood that the face was not a smile, but a stiff expression of extreme anger.Frightened by this terrifying momentum, Guangyi couldn't resist at all, and tears and snot flowed out from his nose.

"S-please spare me."

"Asshole, I told you to say it!"

Sasuke dismissed the Chidori in his hand, took out a kunai from his ninja tool bag, and stabbed Ash's arm firmly to the ground.

"Ahhhhh!!"

Ash let out a heart-rending scream, which seemed to make Sasuke even more annoyed and angry.

"Okay, that's fine if you don't answer me. Anyway, I had a lot of doubts about something a long time ago, so now I'll use you as an experiment."

Sasuke let go of Ash's hand and kicked him in the stomach, causing him to vomit almost all the acidic water in his stomach.Ash, who gradually recovered, found that he was not free and could not move his limbs, while Sasuke held his right hand.

"You, what are you going to do?" Asiu asked in horror.

Sasuke didn't answer, just put his middle finger and thumb under his little finger, and slowly pressed his index finger downward.

"No, no, ahhhh!!"

"wrong answer."

Sasuke ignored Ash's miserable situation and continued to pick up his ring finger and fold it.One by one, after all the fingers were broken, he pinched the back of his hand and went all the way up.

"I said, I said, in a small valley five to six hundred meters south, there are dozens of people guarding..."

"very good."

Sasuke said and the movements of his hands slowed down a bit, and Ash looked at him and took a long breath.But soon Sasuke continued and Ash roared in horror.

"I've told you, why don't you, a devil, let me go!"

"Oh? Did I say I would let you go? People like you deserve to go to hell."

"Please, please, let me go. I can tell you a secret about the Uzumaki clan."

Sasuke's expression changed slightly when he heard this, but the movements of his hands did not stop.

"No need, I am no longer interested in the secrets of the Uzumaki clan. And I don't want to hear it from people like you. It must have been purchased at the cost of many innocent lives."

The force continued to increase, at first it simply broke the bones, and then the force gradually increased to the point where Ash's limbs were crumpled into balls like waste paper.And Ashu also passed out due to severe pain.At this time, a hand grabbed Sasuke firmly from behind.

"Stop! That's enough. What's the difference between you and them!"

Sasuke was shocked when he heard this, and looked back at Kakashi with a worried look on his face.

"Just use the Sharingan to capture the information. Why do you have to be so cruel?"

"Sorry, I was excited."

Sasuke took a deep breath, stood up and walked towards the exit.Kakashi glanced at Ash on the ground, followed silently, and fired a signal flare.

It's very vapory tonight, the moon isn't bright, and there aren't even stars.The signal flare burned in the sky and made the Sharingan icon appear particularly eye-catching. After seeing the signal, Sakon quickly rushed to the agreed meeting point.Kakashi and Sasuke were already standing there.

"How's it going? Is the matter done?"

Sasuke seemed to have recovered.

"It's all done, Sasuke-sama." Sakon replied on his knees.

"You didn't let them see it, did you?"

Sasuke said as he reached out and took Miki and Hanabi's little hands from behind Xiang Rin.

"No. They are very cooperative." Tayuya said.

Sasuke smiled slightly when he heard this and held the two little girls in his arms.

"That's good. Don't let children see such bloody things too much. No matter how just it is, taking life will always distort people's hearts and breed hatred. They shouldn't have to bear this, even if there is a sworn relationship. enemy."

Sasuke reached out and touched Miki's silver-grey hair, then stood up and formed a seal with his hands.Perhaps due to emotional excitement, a black curse mark appeared alone on his face.

"Revenge is so empty."

With the transfer of chakra, the detonating charms placed by Sakon were sensed, and violent explosions began in the entire valley from far to near.Huge rocks shattered from the mountain, blocking this hidden fortress.Sasuke put his hand seal to his mouth, and the blazing flames blew endlessly from his mouth until it covered the entire valley.

"Sasuke-kun, are all those people dead?" Hanabi said, pulling on Sasuke's clothes.

"Ah, no one can survive such a fire."

"Are these people all worthy of death? There must be some who are not that bad."

The young Hanabi didn't have the same heart as Tayuya and others. She knew that all the intruders were dead, but she still couldn't bear it.

"Hanabi, you are right. The reason why people fight is because both sides hold their own justice. There may not necessarily be good or evil. But under these justices, there must also be the commonality of people's hearts. , unforgivable criminals. These people are the unforgivable part."

"is it?"

Sasuke touched Hanabi and Miki's heads lovingly, then turned and left with them.

"Anyway, you don't have to worry about these things. Kakashi-sensei and I are here."

Kakashi looked at Sasuke who was gradually moving away, unable to move a step for some reason.He couldn't help but think back to the first time he met Sasuke.Thinking about it now, although Sasuke was very precocious back then, he was completely different from what he is now.

From not having the heart to kill, to the stress reaction of killing someone for the first time, to the current habits and even madness.This reminded Kakashi of his own growth process as a genius.

This is true for most things, time and habits are two terrible things.At first it hurt to see her frown, but later it didn't matter if she cried.

"Sasuke, it seems that my duty has not been completed yet."
