Naruto's Endless Pretense

"Come and help me, Sasuke. I remember telling you that the door of the roots is open to you at any time. It's not too late to join me."

Danzo told Sasuke his second choice.

"Really? I remember what you said at the beginning, 'If I need strength, I can come to you at any time.' But now I don't need you anywhere, right?"

Sasuke answered forcefully, but a slight cold sweat broke out in his palms.

"Don't use your words to argue. You understand that you have no room to refuse me, if you want to protect those around you. And I have indeed given you strength, giving you the strength to protect your important people."

Danzo looked at Sasuke with a contemptuous smile, just like Sasuke's mocking smile when he first saw him.

Sasuke was silent.During his years living in Konoha, he was somewhat disguised at first, but as time went by, more of his true nature was revealed.Although the Will of Fire in Team [-] did not brainwash him, it was indeed Sasuke's way of thinking to put the people around him first.

Unable to abandon companions, unable to accept betrayal.He has the awareness to face sacrifice, but cannot make such a decision. Rather than being sad, he wants to see the smiles of the people around him more.This is Sasuke.Danzo made such a threat against him, which was a complete conspiracy, and Sasuke could not resist.

More importantly, Sasuke cherishes his current life.There are his friends here, and there are beautiful memories that he can't let go of.And Danzo may have the leverage to drive him out of Konoha.Sasuke felt extremely regretful at the thought of this.

If he had let Orochimaru kill Tianyu when he first met him, would he not have been threatened with everything today?

Not sure.Tianyu is from the third generation, and his appearance means that the third generation is not at ease with him.If this continues, problems will occur sooner or later.

"Huh, if I had known better, I would have let that old man die."

Sasuke glanced at Danzo angrily and reluctantly put the short sword in his hand back into its sheath.

"How's it going? Have you made a decision?" Danzo asked in a deep voice.

"Your roots have been disbanded a long time ago, and Grandma Tsunade and the third generation old man will not allow you to rebuild. And even if it is rebuilt, can you rest assured that someone like me will stay by your side?"

Sasuke tried to make a final struggle, but Danzo didn't give him any hope.

"The reconstruction of the Root Organization has been approved by a high-level resolution. The Fifth Hokage also stamped the document. Unlike you, I will not interfere in matters that are not within the scope of responsibility without a resolution from the village. As for you , I have my own means to make you the most loyal weapon."

Danzo said, picking up his crutches and walking towards the exit step by step.He walked very slowly, and the dull sound of the crutches on the ground was like the last ticking of a clock before it was scrapped, hitting Sasuke's heart time and time again.

"Have you completely concealed your purpose? Do you want to plant some kind of curse mark on me that will be completely controlled by you?"

"Don't try to seduce me, Uchiha Sasuke. Do you think I don't know your strange technique that can break the curse seal?"

Danzo walked up to Sasuke and stopped.Sasuke had several thoughts in his mind, wanting to use Raikiri or Rasengan to kill Danzo.But in the end, he gave up the idea.Not to mention Danzo's own strength, the Sharingan sealed on his arm.If Sasuke kills Danzo now, no matter how good his reasons are and no matter how many things he knows about Danzo, Konoha will definitely make him a rebel ninja.

Danzo glanced at Sasuke's hesitant trembling out of the corner of his eye and smiled proudly.He tilted his body slightly and left a final whisper in Sasuke's ear.

"You want to control Sasuke like this?

He is a talented person, and ordinary curse seals are naturally not enough.As long as you are in Konoha, I will make you have to obey my orders.I have a dedicated group of people watching over your companions. "

"Get used to your new identity. You will be my most capable subordinate from now on."

As if to bring the whole incident to an end, Danzo slowly left the cage specially prepared for Sasuke in an airy manner.Behind that absolute indifference is no room for resistance.

After Danzo left, Sasuke knelt on the ground slumped, clenching and unclenching his fists, and the unwillingness in his eyes poured out along with the chakra storm. He had never been so unwilling and powerless.Even when facing the first and second generations of the Dirty Land, and facing an invincible enemy like the Hero King Gilgamesh, Sasuke did not have to give up like he did this time.

"Although he is a special jounin, he is essentially just a child who doesn't understand anything. Let me, a 'senpai', give you some advice, no, it's life experience."

Under Sasuke's surprised gaze, Tianyu walked directly opposite him and squatted down.

"what?"

"There's nothing surprising. Danzo-sama also said that I am the exclusive combat power of the Third Hokage, and I don't care so much about his affairs."

Tianyu's tone was humorous and sarcastic.The emotion was so strong that even though he was wearing a mask, Sasuke could still imagine his disdainful but interested smile.

"Sasuke-sama, the so-called life is not really smooth sailing. Setbacks and compromises are essential. You have been known as a genius along the way and set a record in the shortest time to be promoted to special jounin. You have such smooth years. , so what if we compromise a little bit with the future for the sake of the past?”

"Are you trying to persuade me to accept my fate?"

Sasuke looked at Tianyu with murderous eyes, but Tianyu was not afraid at all. He stood up and walked to the exit like Danzo did.

"I just advise you to make a suitable compromise. You must know that choosing to compromise is not necessarily a bad thing. I am a good example. But at the moment, you have no other choice but to give in to Danzo-sama, right?"

Very happy.Sasuke finally heard the emotion in Tianyu's words, and he felt happy because of his experience.The tone was as cheerful as seeing the miserable condition of his former enemy, which puzzled Sasuke.

"Sasuke-sama, you lost this time. I'm looking forward to your performance next time. I hope you can let me see what the so-called comeback against the wind is like. But judging from the current situation, you should have already All the money is lost, there is no chance for a comeback. Hahaha"

The laughter faded away, and Sasuke punched the ground in pain.Under the action of the strange force, the ground in the entire room collapsed.In the center of the spider web-like crack, Sasuke's right hand was dripping with blood and his fingers were completely deformed.

As Tianyu said, Sasuke completely lost this time.He did not lose in terms of strength. In fact, Sasuke already had the ability to kill Danzo, and he no longer had to evade Danzo's conspiracy as before.So Danzo used a conspiracy, but the abilities Sasuke got for this were useless.

"Is that the only way?"

Sasuke understood that the matter had come to this, and the conflict between him and Danzo had been brought to the surface.He didn't believe in Danzo's purpose. He was a man who wanted to get rid of the Uchiha clan first and then quickly. He would never end well under his hands.

It should be easy to escape and choose the easy way out. Compromise is what it should be like.But Sasuke thought of the people around him, the idiot-like Naruto and the empty-eyed Miki.

Why was his compromise so difficult and bumpy?
