Naruto's Endless Pretense

"Sasuke-kun, at least the person your sword should be pointing at now is not me."

Orochimaru looked at the dying Danzo with a hint of intent. The old man had almost been drained of chakra.

"...What you said is absolutely true, but you remember it for me."

Sasuke put away his cold murderous aura, drew out his Tenbu sword and stabbed Danzo straight.The tip of the knife moved slowly and finally stopped two or three inches in front of Danzo's throat.

"What's wrong? You don't feel pity anymore, do you?" Orochimaru said.

"No, I can't move."

Sasuke maintained his sword-drawing posture and glanced at the First Hokage out of the corner of his eye.There is red eye shadow in the corners of Hashirama's eyes, and there is also a red concentric circle in the center of his forehead. This is the Sage mode of Shigulin with the same origin as Sasuke.

"Did you do it, First Hokage-sama?"

"As you said, my identity is different now. Even if I know that Danzo is the culprit that led to the annihilation of Uchiha, I can't tolerate you just killing the village's top leaders. After all, I am Hokage, just like Madara and I back then. It’s the same as fighting, I have to choose the village.”

Hashirama's right hand extended toward Sasuke like a claw, his left hand firmly grasped his right wrist, and he spoke righteously.

"Is this the art that didn't appear? It can really bind me in sage mode."

Sasuke muttered in a voice that no one could hear.

In the manga, after Hashirama was subdued by Madara, he gave Sasuke a jutsu. It is said that this jutsu can restrain Madara, who has seized the power of the immortal.It's a pity that Sasuke was stabbed in the heart by Madara as soon as he arrived on the battlefield, and this technique became an unsolved mystery.

This technique is probably what Hashirama is using to restrain Sasuke now.

"Oh, it seems you want to stop me. Well, since there is enough time now, I will tell you everything from beginning to end."

Sasuke thought about it for a moment and then told Hashirama everything about Uchiha before he traveled through time.Including why Uchiha rebelled, what conditions Itachi used to protect himself, and what Danzo did to him, he told Hashirama everything.

It's not about gaining sympathy. The sympathy of a dead person can't change anything.It's just that it's a heavy thing to keep these secrets in your heart. It's enough to have one secret that must be protected. I still hope that I can tell others about this kind of thing sooner.

Moreover, Sasuke also wanted to see what the previous reincarnation of Asura would think of the causes and consequences of his departure. It would also be a good reference to examine Naruto's thoughts.Because Sasuke's ultimate goal is to end the fight between Indra and Asura.

"So the genocide of Uchiha was the village's decision. Danzo did not commit any crime. At most, he just had a personal grudge against me."

With Hashirama's acquiescence, Sasuke withdrew the Tenbu Ryuken and looked at Hashirama with a playful expression.

"Then what are you going to do? Will you support me or Danzo?"

"..."

Hashirama couldn't help but fell into a brief silence.From the standpoint of the village, Danzo's actions may have been excessive but not wrong. Sasuke's actions were excusable but did cause damage to the village.

A qualified politician will never hesitate about which one to support.But Hashirama is not that kind of person.Before becoming Hokage, he was still a passionate person and an elder brother who loved his younger brother deeply. He could not give an answer to Sasuke's malicious questions.

Seeing Hashirama's tangled look, Sasuke couldn't help but chuckle and turned around to kill Danzo.This was something that had been decided a long time ago. Danzo must die, and Sasuke cannot let this unstable factor return to Konoha.

"and many more!"

"Why, are you still going to stop me, Senju Hashirama?"

Facing Sasuke's displeased attitude, Hashirama instead adopted a weak attitude that was completely inconsistent with his status as the God of the Ninja World.

"No, I am a dead person after all. I shouldn't care so much about the affairs of my descendants. But you are Madara's last clan member, so I think I have an obligation to remind you."

Hashirama spread his hands and did not use any restraint techniques. He just tried his best to show that he was harmless.

"Sasuke, you are still very young. Everything is possible. Even if you tell me that you will become Hokage in the future, I have no doubt. But if you choose to kill Danzo now, it will definitely cause irreparable effects. Maybe this will become There may be a source of regret for you in the future.”

When he said this, Hashirama had a look of regret on his face.As a man who reached the top of the ninja world, his glorious journey was full of regret and pain. From the bottom of his heart, Hashirama did not want the genius Uchiha in front of him to follow a similar path to his ancestors.

He left his hometown, was separated from his siblings forever, turned against his brothers, and ended up alone.

Sasuke also put away his sword at Hashirama's words, and used his backhand to seal most of Danzo's body with ice.Although the cold is also fatal, at least it seems that Danzo is not dead for the time being.

"I have regretted it too. If I had worked harder at the beginning, maybe the situation now would be very different. If I hadn't saved the third generation, I might not have been constrained. If I hadn't coveted the seal of the Kingdom of Whirlpool As for skills, then

He will not be threatened by Danzo because he wants to protect those children. "

Sasuke said as he motioned for Orochimaru to untie Hashirama's Earth Reincarnation.

"But I don't regret it either. I enjoyed the time I had no more, met no more companions, and saved no more people. If I regret it, I will only regret one thing, and that is thinking about it. What kind of person to become, what kind of future to strive for.”

"I'm not the Uchiha Sasuke who only plays cool, nor the Uchiha Sasuke who only thinks about revenge. I just want to be myself. That's the kind of person I am."

In Sasuke's monologue, Hashirama disintegrated into dust fragments with a surprised expression, and returned to the underworld with the breeze in the Valley of the End.

"What, aren't you going to kill Danzo?" Orochimaru asked.

After hearing this, Danzo's eyes also showed a light of hope.He still has a Sharingan on his arm, and he might be able to recover as long as he takes a breath.

"How is that possible? Do you think a few words from a dead man can influence me? The damned man should just lie down and die."

Sasuke kicked Danzo, stepped on his chest and said close to his ear.

"I said, I don't plan to change your fate...but now I have to change it a little bit."

"Don't we still have to spare his life?"

Zabuza, who had been hiding in the distance to watch the battle, also ran out and intervened.

"It's just a change of the way you die. Shut up, you unhelpful guy!"

"Didn't you tell me to conserve my energy?"

Sasuke's face darkened and he ignored Zabuza, turning to look at Orochimaru who was laughing.

"This guy has good physical and mental energy. He is a good material. Orochimaru, have you ever studied the Ghoul Seal?"

"Sealing the corpses away? Does the name sound like a sealing technique? There are actually ninjutsus that I haven't heard of. It's really interesting."

There was a hint of fanaticism on Orochimaru's face.

"Anyway, go look for information on this technique after you go back. It will be a big help."

After explaining to Orochimaru the issue of sealing the corpses, Sai also flew down on the eagle he drew.There was Gaara and others who were seriously injured on the back of the eagle. Upon seeing this, Sasuke separated a clone and went to help treat them.

"If you start earlier and don't be so cruel, won't you be in so much trouble soon?"

Zabuza spoke disdainfully but Sasuke glared back in the middle of his sentence.Sai looked at all this with a fake smile that was very close to a real smile.

"Are you leaving? Don't you think about returning to the village, Sasuke? Everyone else in Gen is dead. What happened here, I think whoever comes after you can pretend it never happened."

"I didn't expect you would come to persuade me, Saai."

"If I do this, Naruto and the others will definitely be very grateful to me."

Sasuke stood there for a while, sighed and took out a glass bottle from the ninja tool bag under Saai's surprised gaze, which still contained viscous culture fluid.Then he took out the bandage and kunai and cut out a piece of tissue from Naruto's shoulder.

"Hey, what are you doing!"

Sai took two steps forward but was stopped by Orochimaru.

"Well, it's impossible to go back, but I do want to take a rest."

Sasuke put away the glass bottle as if he had never done anything and put Naruto back where it belonged.After releasing the immortal mode, his eyes twitched invisibly.

"But it's not good to stay here anymore. Someone is coming."

"Then we want to go to Mr. Orochimaru's stronghold? Although it is very uncomfortable, it is indeed very hidden and relatively close." Zabuza suggested.

"No, Orochimaru and I are going to rest. You go directly to the predetermined location to meet Tayuya Sakon, and they will tell you the mission."

"Ah, the 1000 million mission? To be honest, it's a bit long. Seeing that you guys have been fighting for so long, you also want to stretch your muscles."

Zabuza's expression suddenly changed as he spoke.

"Hey, kid! You said before that you would solve the problem of Kumo Ninja, and where is the reserved location for me? Shouldn't you tell me?"

"Ah, that's right, I'll leave this matter to you."

"Asshole! You are going against the most powerful Kumo ninja! Do you want to kill me with 1000 million?"

"Then who can you blame? Who made you not ask about the specific content of the mission? And you are also a ghost after all, so let me see your assassination skills."

Sasuke waved his hands and laughed happily, then licked his lips and hesitated for a moment before looking at Sakai.

"how?"

Sakai instinctively felt that something bad was about to happen.

"Um, can you please do me a favor?"
