Then, Itachi Uchiha changed the subject, saying:
"Chief, is the method on the stone tablet reliable?"
Uchiha Kakuzan, of course, knew Itachi's thoughts, and after glancing at him, said:
"The method on the stone tablet, apart from being bloody and having some flaws in future development, is not bad. After all, even Madara Uchiha obtained the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan by using this method."
Uchiha Itachi finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what the clan chief of the Hill Mountain said. After all, the method on the stone tablet seemed more reliable.
Having made his decision, Itachi Uchiha didn't dwell on it any further, but instead asked:
"Chief, what is the reason you summoned me here this time?"
Uchiha Kakuzan only remembered the purpose of his trip after hearing Itachi's words.
He looked at the stone tablet in front of him and said:
"Itachi, you must have seen some glimpses of the future too, right?"
Uchiha Kakuyama paused, then added:
"I'm talking about Sasuke."
Upon hearing the words of the clan chief, Itachi Uchiha hesitated for a moment before replying:
"I saw some of it. In the future, he seems to occupy a very important position. He is fighting with someone, along with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."
Uchiha Kakuzan nodded and said:
"Actually, you might know something about Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin."
His main reason for wandering the ninja world all these years was to search for the legendary Chosen One.
If I'm not mistaken, a powerful enemy will appear in the ninja world in the near future, and according to the prophecy circulating in Mount Myōboku, the Chosen One will be the key to defeating that enemy.
Based on this future scenario, Sasuke might be the chosen one, or at least a very important character.
However, because of my intervention, Sasuke has experienced too little, which has slowed down the awakening of his Sharingan and made him lack the firm determination to become stronger.
Therefore, for the sake of the future of the ninja world and the Uchiha clan, I feel it's necessary to put the past events back on track.
Uchiha Itachi's expression immediately changed upon hearing the words of the clan head of the Okayama clan.
He knew perfectly well that if things were really pushed back to the way they were before, it would mean the extermination of the Uchiha clan.
He's no longer that brainwashed fool who would kill his parents and exterminate his entire clan.
In his view, even if the entire ninja world were engulfed in war, it would not be as important as the Uchiha clan.
Uchiha Kakuzan, of course, also noticed his expression and explained:
"Itachi, don't misunderstand, I would never do anything to harm my clan."
What I mean is that we can keep things within a small scope, mainly to make Sasuke feel the pain of losing loved ones and being betrayed.
However, this will be a bit unfair to you.
However, I assure you, your reputation will be restored once this matter is resolved.
Upon hearing this, Itachi Uchiha fell silent. After a long while, he finally spoke with some difficulty:
"Chief, I trust you. Give me any task you have, and I will complete it successfully."
Seeing this, Uchiha Kakuyama sighed and said:
"Uchiha Itachi, I am now issuing you a mission in the name of the Uchiha clan head."
"The mission is: to kill Mikoto Uchiha in front of Sasuke Uchiha, and to make him see your true colors clearly."
Then, he became a rogue ninja of the Uchiha clan and joined the Akatsuki organization as a rogue ninja.
He monitors the Akatsuki organization, including its leader Pain and the people behind it.
However, during missions, personal safety is the top priority; missions can be abandoned if necessary.
Uchiha Itachi, kneeling on the ground, buried his head deeply after hearing the mission. Only after Uchiha Kakuyama finished explaining did he speak with difficulty:
"Chief, is it true that my mother was killed? Please forgive me for not being able to accept this."
Uchiha Kakuzan chuckled softly upon hearing Itachi's words:
"Mikoto is the person I cherish most. How could I possibly let anything happen to her? Don't worry, I'll find a substitute and Sasuke won't notice anything amiss."
There are quite a few White Zetsu clones stored here at Uchiha Hill. We can use genjutsu to control them and send them to their deaths.
Chapter 331 Xiao Nan's Worries
Chapter 331 Xiao Nan's Worries
The reason why Uchiha Kakuzan gave Itachi this mission was not only to create hardships for Sasuke and help him awaken his Sharingan, but also to take this opportunity to let Mikoto fake her death and move into the dimension. This way, he could not only spend time with Mikoto, but also no longer worry about her safety.
When Qiu Shanjun saw that Itachi had accepted the mission, he breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the way the Sharingan is awakened and evolved is indeed quite special. In order to enable Sasuke to awaken and evolve the Sharingan as much as possible, his beloved older brother, Uchiha Itachi, was indeed the best candidate.
Uchiha Kakuzan didn't know why Itachi Uchiha agreed; was it for Sasuke's sake, or to atone for the sins of another version of himself who had killed his father and mother?
Having achieved his goal, Uchiha Kakuzan looked at Itachi and said in a deep voice:
"Take these few days to say goodbye to your mother properly. Don't worry, I've already told Mikoto and Shisui about your mission. I won't let you become an unsung hero."
When Uchiha Itachi heard the words of the clan chief of the Ooyama clan, a warmth rose in his heart, which had been quiet. He understood that the reason the clan chief told him these things was to clearly tell him that he was not a pawn, and that the people he was closest to knew the truth about the mission, so that he would not be abandoned by everyone.
Uchiha Itachi lowered his head slightly and calmly replied:
"Okay, Patriarch."
After Itachi Uchiha left, Qiu Shanjun looked at the stone tablet in front of him again, shook his head with some regret, feeling sorry for those who had been deceived by it. Then, Qiu Shanjun waved his hand and put it back into his spatial storage.
Then, this already declining shrine fell into silence once again.
In the days that followed, Uchiha Kakuyama led the three little ones, Ino-Shika-Cho, to do some daily tasks.
Buying things, farming, weeding, finding things, etc.
At first, Uchiha Kakuyama was somewhat interested, but after a few days, the lazy Kakuyama sent his wood clone over, while he himself stayed in the Hokage's office, keeping Tsunade company and teasing the easily embarrassed Shizune. In the evenings, he would, according to Kurenai Yuhi's request, choose her more often so that she could get pregnant as soon as possible and fulfill her wish.
Asuma, who had just returned, wanted to pursue the beautiful and charming Kurenai Yuhi. However, he was shocked and embarrassed by Kurenai on the day of class assignment, which planted a seed of fear in his heart.
This is why Asuma doesn't dare to face Kurenai alone anymore. Even if he does, his expression changes and he hurriedly walks away. As for any improper thoughts he might have had about her, they have long since vanished without a trace.
Uchiha Kakuzan was of course unaware of this, and even if he had, he wouldn't have cared. After all, the Kakuzan clan had long since declined, and even if the Third Hokage were still in power, he wouldn't have taken Asuma, that incompetent, seriously.
That day, after sending another wood clone to help the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, Uchiha Kakuzan was about to go to Mikoto's house to help her pack when a familiar wave made him stop. After sending out a shadow clone to tell Tsunade, he disappeared from the spot.
When Uchiha Kazuyama arrived at the wooden building, a graceful figure was already waiting for him. Not only that, but a pot of tea had been brewed in front of this beauty. When Kazuyama appeared, she skillfully scalded the cups, washed them, and poured the tea.
Qiu Shanjun didn't stand on ceremony. He took the teacup from her delicate hand, blew on it gently, and slowly sipped his tea while looking at the rain outside the window.
When Qiu Shanjun took the teacup, their hands inevitably touched, causing the blue-haired beauty's pretty face to blush slightly. She then casually poured herself a cup and watched the rain with Qiu Shanjun.
The two of them were in perfect sync, silently watching the rain scene. Neither of them spoke, and only the sound of raindrops dripping from the eaves echoed in the space.
After Qiu Shanjun finished his tea, he gently placed the teacup in front of her, watching as she obediently refilled his cup, and said:
"Konan, the main reason I called you here is to tell you about Yahiko's resurrection."
Upon hearing Qiu Shanjun's words, Xiao Nan's hand, which was pouring tea, suddenly trembled, causing the scalding tea to spill around the teacup.
However, at this moment, Xiao Nan had no mind to pour tea. After hurriedly filling the cup, she looked at Qiu Shan Jun and asked somewhat timidly:
"But what went wrong?"
Looking at Konan's eager eyes, Uchiha Kakuyama shook his head with amusement and said:
"That's good news. I've already made preparations on my end, but there are still some things I need you to do."
Xiao Nan's eyes lit up after hearing Qiu Shan Jun's words, making the already pretty Xiao Nan even more outstanding. She quickly asked:
"Lord Qiu, what else do you need me to do? I'll do it right away."
Uchiha Kakuyama continued:
"Before I can resurrect Yahiko, I need to summon his soul from the Pure Land. However, this forbidden technique to summon his soul requires a portion of his flesh and blood as a medium. You'll need to make a trip to retrieve some of that."
After hearing what Qiushan-jun said, Xiaonan readily agreed:
“No problem. Although Nagato turned Yahiko’s body into Pain, it shouldn’t be a big problem for me to take some of his flesh and blood.”
Seeing this, Uchiha Kakuyama nodded and promised:
"As long as you can handle this matter well, I will be able to revive him very soon. Don't worry, it will take no more than two weeks."
After a period of excitement, Xiao Nan gradually calmed down. She looked at Qiu Shanjun with some concern and asked:
"Kyuu-kun, if Yahiko is resurrected, won't the price you pay be too high? If it is, I can wait a little longer. After all, I've already waited for so many years, so what's a little longer? When you are stronger, won't the price be easier to bear?"
Uchiha Kakuyama could tell that although Konan was somewhat reluctant, her words were still very firm. If he told her that the price to be paid would be high, she would probably refuse to revive Yahiko without hesitation.
Uchiha Kakuzan was somewhat surprised by his position in Konan's heart, but in order to put her at ease, he still looked up at Konan and began to activate his Sharingan.
Chapter 332 The Confused Little Nan
Chapter 332 The Confused Xiao Nan
Under Konan's questioning gaze, Uchiha Kakuzan's eyes transformed from three-tomoe Sharingan into Mangekyou Sharingan. However, the activation of the Sharingan had not yet ceased.
Immediately afterwards, the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan spun faster and faster. To her horror, the distinctive red background and intricate patterns of the Mangekyou Sharingan faded away, and what reappeared in Qiushan-kun's eyes were concentric circles of ripples.
Konan was very familiar with this ripple pattern; after all, she had seen it for countless years, and it was exactly the same as Nagato's Rinnegan, which she had grown up with.
However, Nagato's Rinnegan was light purple, while the Rinnegan that appeared in Uchiha Kakuzan's eye socket was purplish-gold, seemingly much more precious than Nagato's Rinnegan.
Xiao Nan looked at Qiu Shan Jun, who was smiling at her, and slowly realized what was happening. She swallowed hard and said in a hoarse voice:
"Rinnegan, I never imagined you'd come this far."
However, Xiao Nan quickly realized what was happening and stared intently at Qiu Shan Jun, saying:
“Kyuu-kun, even if you possess the same Rinnegan as Nagato, as far as I know, even when Nagato used the external path within the Rinnegan—the Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique—the price he paid was his own life.”
Xiao Nan's expression also turned worried, and she looked at Qiu Shanjun and said:
“Kyuu-kun, even though I really want to revive Yahiko, I don’t want it to come at the cost of your life.”
Xiao Nan paused, a blush rising to her cheeks, but she boldly looked at him and continued:
"After all, after all, in my heart, Qiu Shanjun is also the most important person to me."
After Konan finished speaking, she seemed to have used up all her courage and lowered her head, making it impossible for Uchiha Kakuyama to see her shy expression. However, her crystal-clear ears were also tinged with red.
Uchiha Kakuzan raised an eyebrow in surprise upon hearing Konan's words. He hadn't expected such an unexpected gain; Konan had actually fallen for him during their time together.
However, after looking at the shy Xiao Nan, Qiu Shanjun decided it was best not to expose her.
He chuckled and ruffled Xiao Nan's sky-blue hair, explaining with a smile:
"Konan, didn't you notice the difference between my Rinnegan and Nagato's?"
Feeling Qiu Shan-jun ruffle her hair, Konan, who was initially a little shy, felt a sweet warmth in her heart. After hearing his words, Konan looked up and carefully observed Qiu Shan-jun's Sharingan. Then, she hesitated and said:
"Um, the colors are different?"
Uchiha Kakuzan smiled and shook his head, then simply put away his Rinnegan, reverting to its normal black and white color.
Xiao Nan looked into Qiu Shan Jun's eyes and finally realized what was going on.
“Kyuu-kun, your Rinnegan can be controlled at will, reverting to its normal state. But Nagato’s Rinnegan has remained in that activated state ever since he awakened it, and he can’t revert to it.”
Xiao Nan looked at Qiu Shan Jun with a confused expression and asked:
"King Qiu, why is this happening?"
Uchiha Kakuzan lowered his hand from ruffling Konan's hair, his expression turning serious, and said:
"Originally, I thought the same as you: once the Rinnegan is activated, it's impossible to revert to a normal state. However, after activating the Rinnegan, I realized something."
"Actually, the Rinnegan, like my previous Mangekyou Sharingan, can be controlled by me in its activation state; there is no situation where it cannot be controlled."
"Nagato's Rinnegan state reminded me of something."
Uchiha Kakuyama paused, looked at Konan, and asked:
"Konan, you should also know Kakashi from Konoha Village, right?"
Although Xiao Nan didn't know why Qiu Shan Jun would suddenly ask this question, she still obediently answered:
"Kakashi's reputation in the ninja world is not small, of course I know that. He has also made a name for himself in the ninja world as the Copy Ninja - Kakashi."
Immediately afterward, as if remembering something, Xiao Nan repeated in a somewhat horrified tone:
