Chapter 84 Main Mission 6: Visiting Relatives on the Moon

Sasuke used his own Susanoo to exchange one for one, sealing Itachi's Susanoo, but he knew that this was not a simple sparring match, and the duel between him and Itachi was not over yet.

Sasuke broke free from Susanoo, holding the Kusanagi sword in his hand, and attacked towards Itachi's position.

Seeing this, Zhenyan turned around and asked Shadow Clone: ​​"Do you want to admit defeat?"

"It was indeed wonderful." The shadow clone first affirmed, but soon he changed the subject and said, "But they just stood at the same level again. It's still uncertain who will win or lose next."

The next battle was a test of Taijutsu and Ninjutsu. Sasuke had the Sage Mode, giving him an advantage in perception and endurance.

Itachi graduated from the Ninja School in just one year, and later joined the Anbu to carry out missions. He has accumulated much more practical experience than Sasuke.

Itachi used his experience to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, and fought with Sasuke. The two of them were in a stalemate for a while...

Fighting for a long time with full concentration made Sasuke feel mentally exhausted. On the other side, Itachi's breathing was faster than at the beginning, but not disordered, which showed that Itachi still had some strength left.

Sasuke didn't dare to relax at all, he knew that if he revealed his weakness at this moment, Itachi would not let go of the opportunity. Similarly, if he wanted to win, finding Itachi's weakness was also the key.

Sasuke swung out another wave of shurikens, but Itachi blocked it with the same shurikens.

Before the flying sword in his hand fell completely, the two men started to compete in physical skills in close combat.

Sasuke and Itachi's fists and feet were entangled in a dazzling manner, and in the midst of the intensive fight, Itachi actually found a gap to form hand seals.

When Sasuke caught Itachi's movement, it was too late for him to form hand seals. He immediately retreated a distance and used the fairy method of inorganic reincarnation to make the ground under his feet bulge, blocking the fire escape launched by Itachi.

After this attack, both of them stopped and observed each other.

Sasuke glanced at the place where the two had just fought. In addition to the scattered shurikens, there was also a book. The book fell from Itachi's body during the fight.

Sasuke was very familiar with the cover of the book. When he was still in Konoha, Shingon once told him and Naruto: Read more books and newspapers. Enriching the brain is as important as exercising the muscles.

After hearing the truth, Sasuke once asked Kakashi to borrow a book, and Kakashi gave him "The Legend of Perseverance".

So Sasuke read "The Perseverance Ninja" and was deeply impressed because the protagonist's name in the book was Naruto.

Thinking of Naruto, Sasuke couldn't help but think of the time when he was still in Team 7. Every time they encountered a strong enemy, he and Naruto would work together to use mouth-to-mouth tactics, and they would always catch the enemy off guard.

But this time, Sasuke was facing Itachi, and before his questions were answered, Sasuke didn't know what else he could say to Itachi.

So far in this duel, there has been no verbal communication between them.

At this moment, Sasuke looked at the book "Perseverance Ninja Biography" on the ground, and he suddenly knew what he could say...

Itachi brought this book with him, which means he hasn't finished reading it yet...

What impressed Sasuke the most about this book was the ending, where the protagonist, after encountering various setbacks, still remained firm in his belief and did not give up the search for peace...

Sasuke once again took out the shuriken, but this time was different from the previous times. While throwing out the shuriken, Sasuke also used his mouth to recite a passage from the ending of "The Legend of Perseverance"...

Itachi: “???”

Itachi: “…………”

When Itachi saw Sasuke take out the shuriken, he planned to fight back with the shuriken like he did the last few times, but this time was different from the previous times. Sasuke threw not only the shuriken, but also the ending of "Perseverance Ninja Legend"...

Before coming, Itachi said he wanted to finish reading "The Legend of Perseverance", but he didn't have time to read it, so at this time, Itachi, who didn't know the ending, was completely revealed by Sasuke's mouth...

Itachi's mind was replaying the ending of "The Legend of Perseverance", but his body relied on instinct to throw out the shurikens to fight back.

However, this time Itachi has to deal with not only the shurikens and the spoilers, but also Sasuke who teleports over.

Seeing Sasuke appear before his eyes in the blink of an eye, Itachi showed a rare expression of surprise...

Mixed in the shuriken thrown by Sasuke was a special shuriken with the Flying Thunder God mark. In addition to mouth-to-mouth combat, the Flying Thunder God Technique was also a trump card that Sasuke had always kept.

Seeing Itachi showing a flaw at this time, Sasuke seized the opportunity and used this last trump card.

Sasuke swung his Kusanagi sword, and the Itachi in front of him turned into scattered crows...

Sasuke was not blinded by the crow. His figure disappeared in the blink of an eye and reappeared in another location, exactly where Itachi's real body was.

Every time Sasuke used the shuriken before, he mixed in a special shuriken with the Flying Thunder God mark. At this moment, the battlefield was dotted with the Flying Thunder God marks that he had laid out in advance.

Act after careful consideration. This was the technique that the Second Hokage taught to him and Naruto when they were learning the Flying Thunder God Technique.

The Second Hokage told them when they were teaching that if they were stronger than their opponent, then the Flying Thunder God Technique would be the killing move to kill the enemy, but if they were not sure, they should plan carefully before acting and let the Flying Thunder God Technique become the trump card for a surprise victory.

In order to make better use of the Flying Thunder God Technique, Sasuke designed the coordinates into the shape of a round fan, so that even if it was seen, the opponent would probably ignore it as a family emblem in a highly concentrated battle. What's more, in the battle at hand, Sasuke was also disturbing Itachi's attention.

Sasuke used Sage Mode at the beginning of the battle in order to attract Itachi's attention and make Itachi ignore the Flying Thunder God Seal mixed in the shuriken. After that, he quickly used Susanoo to speed up the battle and make Itachi have no time to pay attention to the shuriken scattered on the battlefield.

Sasuke had not expected that Itachi's Susanoo contained a divine weapon, but he finally figured out a way to crack it and banned Itachi's divine weapon using a one-for-one method.

In the ensuing ninjutsu and taijutsu tug-of-war, Sasuke would use the shuriken from time to time, all to prepare for the use of the Flying Thunder God Technique later.

Until the very end, Itachi dropped the "Perseverance Ninja Legend", allowing Sasuke to catch the broken thread. Telling the spoilers by mouth can not only attract Itachi's attention, but also cause long-term interference to Itachi.

With his brain disturbed by the mouth-to-mouth trick, Itachi's reaction speed would definitely decrease, and at this time he used the Flying Thunder God Technique to attack quickly. As a result, Itachi could dodge the first time, but it was difficult to dodge the second and third times...

Sasuke's sword finally stopped at Itachi's forehead, and he uttered three words: "It's over."

The battle is over, and Sasuke has handed in a perfect graduation paper for his previous studies.

Itachi was a little absent-minded. At this moment, the image of his ignorant brother who ran towards him and asked him to teach him how to practice gradually disintegrated, and was gradually replaced by the brother in front of him who first used the immortal technique, then locked his Susanoo, and finally used the mouth-to-mouth spoiler technique and the Flying Thunder God technique to kill him...

Itachi turned towards the direction where Mangon was. If the distance was not too far, he would have wanted to ask at this moment, what class did Mangon sign Sasuke up for?

"What exactly happened back then?" Sasuke's voice brought Itachi back to his senses.

Itachi's gaze turned to Sasuke again. He lost this battle, but he was relieved to see Sasuke grow to this point.

Just as Shingon said, Itachi believed that Sasuke could now distinguish right from wrong.

Itachi no longer concealed the truth, starting from the conflict between the Uchiha clan and the village, he told the truth about the extinction of the Uchiha clan.

"After the conflict with the village intensified, Uchiha decided to launch a coup. Under the circumstances at that time, launching a coup would cause a serious blow to the village, and other ninja villages would definitely take the opportunity to attack Konoha."

"In order to protect the reputation of the Uchiha clan and the stability of the village, I finally stood on the side of the village..."

While Itachi was speaking, Shingon and his shadow clone came over.

Shingon continued Itachi's words and said, "Later, I found a way to teleport to the moon, and before the family coup, I teleported my clan members to the moon."

"This is too unbelievable. In order to protect me and to allow you to stay safely in the village, Itachi took everything by himself and told the Konoha leaders that he had killed the tribe members."

"So that's how it is..." The sword in Sasuke's hand fell down little by little. He looked at Itachi and Shingon and asked again, "Dad and Mom..."

"It's also on the moon." Zhenyan said, "Wait until night, let's go to the moon to visit relatives together."

After such a long separation, it’s time to go visit everyone.

Sasuke looked a little dazed. Neither Shingon nor Itachi disturbed Sasuke. They gave Sasuke time to think alone.

"Itachi, come with us this time." Shingon said to Itachi.

Itachi did not answer immediately, but looked towards the previous battlefield. Only some ruins were left of the Uchiha stronghold affected by the battle. At this time, Sasuke was leaning against a ruin engraved with the Uchiha clan emblem, and it seemed that he was digesting the truth he had just heard.

Itachi didn't know what conclusion Sasuke would come to. As a brother, all he could do was to trust Sasuke and believe that Sasuke would be able to discern the direction and find the right path without his guidance...

Itachi finally nodded and agreed to go with him.

At night, when the moon came out, Shingon drew a teleportation array under his feet and teleported Itachi and Sasuke together.

The transmission was completed. Zhenyan looked at the scene in front of him and at first suspected that he had been teleported to the wrong place.

Because what appeared before his eyes was a small village that seemed like a paradise.

In a corner of the village, a group of two or three elderly people gathered together. I don’t know what they were talking about, but they looked very relaxed. From time to time, children ran by on the village streets, and their pure laughter made people smile...

Two strong men carrying hoes came back from outside and saw Zhenyan and his two companions standing at the entrance of the village. They looked at them curiously. After recognizing Zhenyan, the two strong men froze in their places at the same time...

When Zhenyan saw the two people in front of him, he was sure that he had not sent the message to the wrong place.

"Brother Feng, Brother Yin." Zhenyan greeted the two of them.

Uchiha Feng and Uchiha Gin looked a little dazed. They looked at each other and asked, "Do you want to... go back?"

Zhenyan smiled and said, "It may take some time. This time we came here to visit everyone."

Several people stayed at the entrance of the village, attracting the attention of the villagers, and soon someone called out the patriarch.

When Uchiha Fugaku saw the three people, he was also stunned, but Uchiha Mikoto came over first.

"Sasuke, Itachi..." Uchiha Mikoto looked at the two of them, her eyes unconsciously reddened, "You have grown up..."

"Mom..." Seeing Uchiha Mikoto and Uchiha Fugaku, Sasuke seemed to finally wake up from a magical dream and return to reality.

Shingon gave the family time to reunite. He strolled alone in the Uchiha village. He found that the Uchiha people were different from when they were in Konoha. They were less aggressive and more easy-going, and indifferent to the world.

Zhenyan greeted some familiar faces that she could recognize. Some people also recognized Zhenyan and enthusiastically took out things from their homes to treat Zhenyan. When they came to the back, Zhenyan's arms were full of things...

There are moon specialty biscuits, Uchiha Fire Style special sugar, fresh vegetables, and unknown flowers...

"The truth."

Hearing someone calling his name, Zhen Yan spoke subconsciously: "Thank you very much, everyone. I won't accept the things. I have no more space..."

When the visitor heard the truth, he couldn't help laughing.

Shingen tilted her head, turned around the things in her arms and looked forward, only to find that the person coming was Shisui, and next to Shisui was a young man with silver hair and white eyes.

Seeing the silver-haired young man, Zhenyan was a little stunned, because all Uchiha people have black hair and black eyes. Did this person change after coming to the moon?

Shisui walked over and seemed to see Shingen's confusion, he introduced him, "This is Toneri, a guest visiting the Uchiha."

"Guest?" Zhenyan was even more confused. Are there other people on the moon besides Uchiha?

Shisui helped Shingon get some things, invited Shingon to his home, and introduced Sheren's situation in detail.

"So you are the descendant of my second uncle." Shingen quickly accepted Toneri's identity, because Hei Zetsu had told him before that after Otsutsuki Kaguya was sealed, Otsutsuki Hamura was teleported to the moon.

Shisui was a little surprised. He asked Shinyan, "You know everything?"

Zhenyan nodded: "I am trying to find a way to revive my grandmother."

Shisui: “…………”

Sheren: “…………”

"Is there any problem?" Noticing the strange expressions on the two people's faces, Zhenyan couldn't help but ask.

"The founding ancestor is arbitrary and inhumane. If he is resurrected, the ninja world will probably be in danger." Sheren said.

"Ah?" Zhenyan was surprised because this was different from the version he had heard. "Brother Sheren, how do you know that the grandmother is unkind?"

"We have been guarding here for generations, and this is what our ancestors have passed down." Sheren said, frowning and looking at Zhenyan, "Why do you want to revive the ancestor?"

"When you learn that your ancestors have been sealed away, shouldn't it be the duty of filial descendants to help resurrect them?"

Kurozetsu once said that the Otsutsuki clan would invade the ninja world, and Otsutsuki Kaguya's power could stop those clansmen, but Shingon felt that even without this reason, he should help with the resurrection starting with Koshun.

After hearing what Shingen said, Shisui and Sheren were silent. After a long while, Sheren asked, "Have you ever thought about the consequences of reviving the ancestor?"

Zhenyan thought for a moment and said, "Grandma should be very happy."

Shisui: “…………”

Sheren: “…………”

"What if the ancestor is not easy to get along with as Mr. Sheren said?" Shisui expressed his concerns.

"Well..." Zhenyan looked at Sheren, he was a little confused, but finally said what he was thinking, "I think the rumor may be wrong."

The version told by Sheren is different from that told by Heizetsu. Zhenyan believes Heizetsu's version more. After all, Heizetsu has lived from a thousand years ago to the present, and what he said is his personal experience a thousand years ago.

The Sheren obeyed the ancestral teachings, which were passed down from generation to generation. If an ancestor accidentally said a wrong word when leaving his last words, it might cause misunderstanding.

"How do you know that the rumor is false?" Sheren asked. He obviously believed in his ancestral teachings more.

"I'm not 100% sure, but we can verify it." Zhenyan said.

Sheren: "How to verify?"

True Words: "After resurrecting Grandma, you will know after asking her."

Sheren: “…………”

"If the rumors are true, how will you end up?" Because of the existence of his ancestral teachings, Toneri is very wary of the existence of Otsutsuki Kaguya.

Zhenyan, however, has a different view: "After all, she is our grandmother. If we are a little sweet to her, will she still hit us?"

Sheren: “…………”

Shisui: “…………”!
