Deceiving identity
"It's Sasuke! It has to be."
The boy with short blond hair spoke in a firm tone, but after he finished speaking, he was a little nervous. The other people around him also had different expressions. One of them, a girl with pink hair, stretched out her hand and said hesitantly.
"Sasuke-kun?"
It had only been half a month since their last meeting, but despite being surprised, none of them gave up the opportunity for close contact.
Shikamaru clasped his hands together, ready to strike, while the others also quietly took their positions, forming an encirclement.
"…Well, what should we do now?" Shuiyue whispered, "If a fight breaks out, it might be a bit troublesome."
After all, in addition to the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and his companions, the clone ninja Kakashi is also there. If a fight really breaks out, they may not have a chance of winning.
Uchiha Tobi looked around, his eyes focused on Uzumaki Naruto. He didn't know why he always felt a sense of familiarity.
"You go first, Sasuke and I will stay here." Tobi said calmly, "Don't hesitate."
Karin was about to retort, but was held down by Suigetsu and Jūgo. Sasuke did not move, his face covered by a large hood, and a cold voice came out.
"Get out of the way."
When Shikamaru realized that the others were preparing to escape, he looked at Ino beside him. Just as they were about to move, scorching heat hit their faces.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique—"
A huge fireball flew towards them, and the few people could only disperse. But following closely was a high wall of water.
The collision of water and fire produced a large amount of water mist. Shuiyue and his companions took the opportunity to flee separately, but soon someone followed closely behind them.
Naruto only glanced at the three people who were fleeing, and then quickly locked onto Sasuke who was still standing there. He no longer hesitated, and in order to avoid passing by like last time, he lowered his head and rushed over.
"I won't let you go alone again this time." Naruto shouted, "I've been looking for you, why do you always go alone?"
That resolute expression surprised Uchiha Tobi, and Sasuke beside him also took action. The Kusanagi sword was drawn, and with a flash of lightning, the two men were about to collide, and two kunai were thrown from the same place.
"Wait, listen to others before you start fighting." Kakashi looked like he had a headache. As a teacher, he stood between the two of them dutifully. "And you too, Sasuke."
The boy raised his hand and pulled off his hood. His cold expression made those familiar with him stunned. Sasuke turned his wrist, with the tip of the knife pointing outward: "There's nothing to talk about. I told you, Naruto, don't chase me."
"But..." Sakura was about to say something, but when she saw the cold and ruthless look in his eyes, she swallowed it back, "Sasuke - your eyes?!"
The pair of red Sharingan had a new pattern. Kakashi half-closed his eyes and then sighed.
"It's a new pair of eyes, they look really powerful." The timid Naruto scratched the back of his head, "But, you must take a good look at the new ninjutsu I learned!"
The hand holding the knife exerted a little force, and after noticing Sasuke's emotional change, Uchiha Tobiramisu interrupted the narration at the right time.
He walked forward calmly, and then raised his hand and placed it on Sasuke's shoulder under the gaze of those people. In just a moment, after the strange chakra fluctuations appeared, the two people in front of him disappeared.
Naruto was visibly stunned, his mouth wide open with a petrified expression, and then he said in surprise: "Hey hey hey! It's gone?! Is it an illusion?"
Looking at Naruto rubbing his eyes, Kakashi shook his head. He frowned and looked a little strange, because he was very familiar with this technique.
That is a forbidden technique, Flying Thunder God, which can quickly appear at the marked place by leaving a mark. But the reason why this technique is a forbidden technique is not only because it is very convenient and easy to use, but also because it is very difficult to learn.
So far, besides the inventor of this jutsu, Tobirama Senju, the only person who has learned it is his teacher, the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze.
Thinking of this, Kakashi's expression became confused again. Flying Thunder God is a forbidden technique, and ordinary people in Konoha cannot perform it. Who is that unknown person? And that chakra fluctuation is also completely unfamiliar.
At this time, the two of them had already used Flying Thunder God to get a hundred meters away. After a slight pause, Sasuke made a "tsk" sound and put away the Kusanagi sword.
"Is that your friend?"
"No." Sasuke put on his hood and replied stiffly, "Don't ask any more questions."
Uchiha Tobi showed a meaningful expression, looked at Sasuke who was leaving quickly, and did not say anything to expose him.
After sending a message to Karin and the others, the two chose to act separately. As they approached Konoha, similar incidents would only increase. In order to avoid today's situation, Sasuke chose to act separately without hesitation.
Although Flying Thunder God is convenient, carrying too many people back and forth consumes a lot of chakra, so Tobirama also acquiesced to this proposal.
He originally planned to go to Konoha alone, but Sasuke returned to Konoha, and it seemed that there were answers that had to be verified.
The full moon was hanging high in the sky, and the leaves were falling gently, waking up the sleepers.
When Uchiha Tobi opened his eyes, he saw the Kusanagi sword pointing at his throat. The young man looked angry and his eyes were bloodshot.
"Liar!" Sasuke's voice was hoarse and emotional, "It turns out you have been lying to me from the beginning!"
Uchiha Tobi leaned against the tree, maintaining a motionless posture. His eyes moved and saw the familiar spiral mask.
The man was half squatting, his hands on his knees. The voice coming from under the mask had an unreal feeling.
"He's not an Uchiha at all." A Fei tilted his head and said innocently, "He looks exactly like the Nidaime on the Hokage Rock. How can a Senju have a Sharingan? He must have transplanted someone else's Sharingan like that fake Kakashi."
Uchiha Sasuke, who had studied in the Ninja School, naturally knew the second generation Senju Tobirama.
So Sasuke believed the words of the masked man after a brief thought. Especially after listening to the truth told by the man named A Fei, he was so emotional that he could hardly think.
The feeling of being betrayed and deceived made him furious, but after understanding what his brother Uchiha Itachi had done, he felt sad and remorseful.
Tears mixed with blood fell from his eyes. The boy, who had experienced the death of his last loved one and betrayal in a short period of time, straightened his back stubbornly, and the sharp Kusanagi sword penetrated deeper.
Uchiha Tobi raised his hand to block the Kusanagi sword, and met the angry eyes without any guilt. However, it was precisely this calm look without dodging or evading that caused the Kusanagi sword to pierce through his palm and pierce into his chest in anger.
The determined knife strike missed, and when he turned around, the white-haired figure was already standing under the moonlight.
The shadow of the tree swayed, and looking at the pair of scarlet eyes, Uchiha Tobi said slowly: "Uchiha Sasuke, don't let anger control your mind."
"Shut up! You have no right to say such things!"
It is obvious that a person whose mind is controlled by anger is incapable of talking. While Uchiha Tobirama was bandaging the wound, he looked at the masked man who was watching the show.
"Your ability is very interesting, you can evade my perception." Tobi said bluntly, "But as an Uchiha, didn't you also watch Uchiha Itachi die without helping him?"
"I just can't bear to see someone being deceived." Ah Fei stood up and his tone became serious.
Uchiha Tobi spread his hands and said calmly: "You are just the one who used Uchiha Itachi's body after his death. It is hypocritical for you to say that you care about others now."
Sasuke tightly grasped the Kusanagi sword. Although he was angry at Uchiha Tobi's deception, he did not completely believe the masked man: "Heh, I didn't expect Uchiha Madara to be such a shameful person."
Hearing this, Uchiha Tobi's expression became strange: "Uchiha Madara? You said you are Uchiha Madara, don't be ridiculous, his Sharingan ability is completely different from yours."
"And I can recognize him even if he turns into ashes."
This statement is not an exaggeration. As for his understanding of Uchiha Madara, apart from Izuna, Tobi dares to say that no one can surpass him.
"I did lie to you." Uchiha Tobi put down his hands and looked straight into those eyes. "I don't know Uchiha Itachi's difficulties. I have only known him for two days."
"But he did ask me to take care of you in exchange for information about the organization."
At the end of that illusion battle, under the hazy moonlight, Uchiha Itachi, as the elder brother, was still worried. He did trade intelligence for a deal, but the intelligence he gave was not about the Akatsuki organization, but about the big and small things that happened in Konoha over the years.
Uchiha Itachi hoped that after his death, Tobirama could take Sasuke to a safe place, even if it was handed over to Konoha, but in any case, Sasuke must not fall into the hands of the Akatsuki organization.
Uchiha Madara remained silent, then sneered. His deep voice and red eyes under the mask looked even scarier in the dark night.
Uchiha Sasuke fell into memory. Although it was difficult to accept the truth of Itachi's death, he knew his brother. Itachi would never want him to be associated with the Akatsuki organization.
After winning the game, Uchiha Tobi continued, "But this is the only thing I'm hiding. Although I do come from the past, my name is Uchiha Tobi, and these two Sharingans are not transplanted or fake."
As soon as the white-haired boy finished speaking, a black magatama pattern appeared in his scarlet eyes. Sasuke pursed his lips tightly, and the cold wind made him calm down a little.
Although the Sharingan is coveted by others, not everyone can have it transplanted. The last person to have a successful transplant was Kakashi, but as far as he knows, Kakashi always covers his eyes with a forehead guard.
As an outsider, even if the transplant is successful, the Sharingan cannot be opened and closed normally. But the boy in front of him is different. Not only can he use the Sharingan freely, but before opening the Sharingan, the original color of his eyes is red.
Seeing that Sasuke was entangled and lost in thought, Uchiha Tobirama shifted his gaze to "Uchiha Madara".
"You are definitely not Uchiha Madara." Uchiha Tobi said coldly, holding a kunai and narrowing his eyes, "What is your purpose in impersonating Uchiha Madara?"
The masked man took a half step back and stood in the shadow of the tree. He held the mask with one hand and did not answer the question.
"I welcome your surrender at any time, Uchiha Sasuke." A dull voice came from under the mask, "When you see everything clearly, you will understand."
After saying that, the figure in front of them twisted and disappeared in front of the two of them. Uchiha Tobi didn't plan to chase him any further. Anyway, with the masked man's elusiveness, they would meet again sooner or later.
The temperature was slightly low at night, and the person sitting cross-legged was silent. After being disturbed, Uchiha Tobi lost his sleepiness, and he built a fire, and the burning fire illuminated the face.
His black pupils were moist as if they had been washed with water, and the sudden light of the fire made him turn his head away uncomfortably. Uchiha Tobi added some more firewood and did not speak to disturb him.
"I will destroy Konoha."
As if he had figured it out, Sasuke said in a cold voice: "I will destroy Konoha and revive the Uchiha clan in my own way."
Uchiha Tobi stopped moving, he looked at Uchiha Sasuke in silence, and suddenly felt complicated.
"You?" Tobi's tone was full of doubt, "You two are the only two left in the Uchiha clan. It doesn't matter whether we revive or not."
The boy pursed his lips stubbornly and glared at me: "You don't need to care about it. You are just a fake Uchiha."
Without hesitation, Uchiha Tobi stood up, clenched his fist, and quickly hit Sasuke on the head. Sasuke was caught off guard and his eyes widened, but before he could draw his sword angrily, he was hit again.
"Wake up." Uchiha Tobi breathed out, "What your brother was determined to do at the cost of his life was not for you to destroy Konoha."
If he didn't look so similar to Izuna, Uchiha Tobi's force would probably be a little stronger.
Izuna had also taken risks alone before, and although his elder brother came to his rescue in time, the accident left him lying in bed for a long time. So when Izuna had just recovered, Tobi hit him on the head mercilessly.
"I don't know what Itachi thinks, you can ask him yourself." After saying that, Uchiha Tobi sat down again, "Brothers, is there anything you can't talk about face to face? You need a guy who doesn't even dare to show his true face to pass on the message."
Sasuke put a hand on his head, slowly understanding what he said: "What do you mean? Are you addicted to lying?"
"I didn't say Uchiha Itachi was dead."
"Impossible, I clearly saw it with my own eyes..." Uchiha Sasuke was stuck in the middle of his words. He widened his eyes with an incredible expression on his face, "What did you do at that time?"
When he fell down, the person in front of me seemed to have done something strange. Thinking about it now, there are indeed many doubts.
Uchiha Tobi glanced at him, then shook his head and said, "Why else do you think I would look for a medical ninja?"
If left unchecked, people blinded by hatred and pain can really do extreme things.
Although it is impossible for Sasuke to destroy Konoha alone, Tobi feels overwhelmed when he thinks that the Uchiha clan will be completely wiped out after Sasuke's death.
I hope to give him some hope and allow him to do something else.
