As Mizuki becomes stronger and stronger, his influence on the ninja world also grows. The shift in fate caused by the accumulation of time has become so great that it is impossible to ignore.

Of course, even if we worry about these things, we can't find any better solutions, so we can only take one step at a time.

When faced with something like this, I have to say that Shuimu’s strength is not enough.

If you are strong enough to crush all troubles, strength is the best means to implement your will.

Since Mizuki knew about it, Kakashi didn't say anything more. Mizuki, who had been in this situation for a long time, should have a much deeper understanding than himself. In comparison, other issues made Kakashi more worried...

"Have you noticed Sasuke's eyes? His pair of Sharingan seem to be a little different."

“That’s a good thing!”

Mizuki smiled and nodded.

Mizuki, whose future has changed so much due to his own actions, is most worried that Uchiha Sasuke's Mangekyō Sharingan will not be successfully upgraded.

Although the process was a bit tortuous, but since it was successful, Shuimu finally put his mind at ease.

Hatake Kakashi sighed:

"The Mangekyō Sharingan and the cursed bloodline power are all nonsense, but every birth is related to death. It's no wonder that some people are prejudiced against the Sharingan."

Mizuki glanced at Kakashi and said disapprovingly:

"Since you know it's nonsense, why are you still sad? When has power ever been so closely related to rumors like curses? That's just an illusion of different standpoints. Swords have nothing to do with justice or evil; they are all just tools to be manipulated."

"Okay, I was just saying that."

How could Hatake Kakashi not understand this truth? He just wanted to take advantage of the situation to bring up the topic.

"You promised me earlier that you would tell him the truth once Sasuke opened his Mangekyō Sharingan. Are you serious about that?"

"certainly……"

Mizuki answered as a matter of course.

"A ninja has to keep his promises. Besides, it's time for him to know the truth."

"What is the truth? Are you sure what you know is the truth?"

"Kakashi, you are too concerned..."

Mizuki shook his head.

"If the future is still in a state of confusion, then what happened in the past is real. The people involved in the Uchiha family's affairs may not know as much as I do. Maybe the Six Paths Sage knows more than me!"

"Six Paths Sage? You're so arrogant!"

Kakashi didn't care whether Mizuki was bragging or not.

"From your tone, I know it's not a good thing. Can't you just delay it? It's a time of trouble, so we should not make things more complicated."

"Sasuke will eventually know the truth. At least if we tell him the truth, it will be more objective. If someone with ulterior motives exaggerates and deceives Sasuke, it will be even more troublesome. Moreover, it will allow Sasuke to accurately judge who the enemy is. You don't want Sasuke to be used or killed for no reason, do you?"

"All right!"

Having said that, Kakashi had to agree with Mizuki's point of view.

"I hope Sasuke won't do anything stupid."

"You worry too much."

The fact is clear. As long as Sasuke is not stupid and is not half-heartedly fooled by Uchiha Obito, the possibility of the worst-case scenario occurring is not great.

…

After being busy for a long time, the Muye ninja finally settled down and did not return to Konoha Village until the next afternoon.

Most of the people who came back had injuries to varying degrees.

Because of Tsunade's treatment, the number of direct casualties was small, but there were still some, so the situation looked a bit depressing.

There is nothing that can be done about it. There will always be casualties in war.

In this conflict, although Kakashi Hatake and Mizuki are the commanders tomorrow, there is also a person with a higher status, that is Jiraiya.

Mizuki wasn't quite sure how Jiraiya reported this to Tsunade.

But one thing is certain, it is definitely not an easy decision to make regarding the Rinnegan.

It is hard to imagine that with so many casualties, Mizuki, Hatake Kakashi, and other Konoha ninjas were not consulted.

For Mizuki, as long as the Rinnegan does not fall into the hands of Danzo Shimura, Mizuki can accept it.

Of course, it would be even better if I could have this Rinnegan in my own hands.

It’s a pity that Mizuki, a ninja with many criminal records, did many things behind the village’s back that the higher-ups didn’t know about.

Under such circumstances, the possibility of handing over such a key thing as the Samsara Eye to Shuimu for research is too small.

Before Tsunade approached Mizuki to ask for his opinion, Mizuki did not intend to intervene too much.

Only Shuimu can explain how to use the Rinnegan and what kind of people are capable of unleashing its power.

This is also the confidence of Shuimu to keep its troops in place and sit back and relax.

Unfortunately, the first person to come was not Tsunade, but Uchiha Sasuke with a serious face.

"You really can't wait, Sasuke. I thought you would come to see me in a few days..."

In the office of the deputy chief of the security department, Mizuki and Uchiha Sasuke sat facing each other.

The only reason Sasuke would come to Mizuki so urgently at this time would be because of the information about his family being wiped out.

"I wonder if Mr. Mizuki's previous promise is still valid!"

Shuimu smiled slightly and nodded:

"Of course it worked! I wouldn't lie to you about something like this."

"That's good."

Sasuke relaxed in relief.

"I have already activated the Mangekyō Sharingan..."

As he spoke, Sasuke's eyes turned into three scarlet magatama, and in an instant, they turned into the Mangekyō Sharingan.

"I think this should prove what I said."

Sasuke looked at Mizuki hopefully.

"alright."

Mizuki waved his hand.

"If you would lie about something like this, then I really misjudged you."

After a pause, Shuimu tapped the table with his fingers and asked:

"I also know a little bit about your feelings! But I'm not sure what you want to know specifically. If you have any questions, just ask directly!"

Mizuki's relaxed attitude contrasts with Sasuke's indecision.

After thinking for a while, Sasuke asked:

"Were my father and mother killed by Uchiha Itachi?"

"You have also asked Uchiha Itachi this question, right? I believe you already have the answer. That's right, the one who killed your father Uchiha Fugaku and your mother Uchiha Mikoto was indeed your biological brother - Uchiha Itachi."

The decisive and unquestionable answer immediately dispelled the last glimmer of hope in Uchiha Sasuke's heart.

"That guy deserves to die, I did nothing wrong..."
