"Perhaps we don't want our fates to be controlled by others..."
Uchiha Sasuke calmly retorted, inquiring about another matter that concerned him: "The Uchiha Clan... were there any survivors on the night of the massacre?"
"I don't know."
Kabuto shook his head, not very informed about such matters.
"Probably... none left, right?"
Orochimaru's lips curled into a smile; he knew something about these things: "Shimura Danzo provided me with many Sharingan as experimental materials..."
"Shimura Danzo told me that Uchiha Itachi and a mysterious masked man killed all the Uchiha except you, and the bodies have already been disposed of..."
"The Uchiha of Konoha..."
"There should only be Sasuke-kun left."
"That's why I targeted Sasuke-kun's body..."
After Orochimaru finished speaking, he squinted his eyes and seemed to ask casually, "It sounds like the world you experienced might have surviving Uchiha..."
"..."
Uchiha Sasuke remained silent.
Indeed.
In the real world, there are quite a few surviving Uchiha.
All those clan members survived because of Akihara Kagura, which also led those clan members to become staunchly loyal to Akihara Kagura, no matter what Akihara Kagura asked them to do, they would not hesitate, even if it meant sacrificing their lives...
Of course...
Akihara Kagura, that guy...
Never would let his subordinates sacrifice their lives.
When Uchiha Sasuke thought of this, he couldn't help but smash his fist against the tree beside him, feeling incredibly complex and uneasy!
The bloody reality of this world seemed to remind him that without Akihara Kagura, the Uchiha couldn't escape the fate of complete annihilation...
"Sasuke-kun..."
Kabuto looked at the silent Uchiha Sasuke, gently praising the unseen Akihara Kagura: "The world you experienced is truly fortunate, to be blessed by a god..."
To be honest...
Kabuto didn't care much about dignity.
Kabuto only cared about himself and Dean Nonou, having been somewhat lost over the years, unsure of what he was truly doing...
However...
After hearing Sasuke's description of another world, Kabuto suddenly understood the life he wanted to lead...
He merely wanted Dean Nonou to survive, to continue making the orphanage's children better with Dean Nonou, to stay forever in that dilapidated orphanage...
"I suspect something else instead..."
Orochimaru extended his tongue, licking his lips, eyeing Uchiha Sasuke's body with a greedy gaze, casually saying: "Sasuke-kun, from what you say, Akihara Kagura seems to have come to the Ninja World just to change the tragic fate of you people..."
"He's not that kind of person!"
Sasuke immediately coldly refuted Orochimaru's speculation but quickly concealed the thoughts deep within, because deep inside, he was always assured that Akihara Kagura was not someone evil.
After all...
The number of people Akihara Kagura killed was few and far between.
Even innocent victims slain by some ninja surpassed the bloodshed caused by Akihara Kagura!
"That guy initiated an unprecedented ninja war..."
Sasuke's fingers stiffened as he solemnly recounted Akihara Kagura's blurred criminal record: "He used his schemes to force all ninjas in the Ninja World to gather, forming a Ninja Alliance against him..."
"..."
Orochimaru and Kabuto's expressions turned curious immediately.
Not really...
Does this person have a problem?
Why form a Ninja Alliance against himself?
"However..."
Sasuke recalled that day, slowly opening his palm, flipping it around: "The general of that Ninja Alliance was his puppet; that guy took advantage of the Ninja Alliance's assembly to capture ten wan ninjas, announcing his power to the world!"
"!!!"
Orochimaru's expression suddenly changed.
Are you kidding?
For Orochimaru, having undergone two Ninja Wars, he couldn't even imagine what kind of prestige it would be to gather so many ninjas!
And Akihara Kagura, who could defeat tens of thousands of ninja on his own, what kind of power did he wield? Maybe only such terrifying ninjas could make mighty Sasuke feel uneasy mentioning him!
"No matter how complex the Ninjutsu..."
"Even if it's the Kinjutsu treasured by five Great Country Ninja Villages..."
"In Akihara Kagura's hands, it can be mastered and perfected instantly..."
"No matter how powerful the ninja..."
"Even as strong as the First Hokage and Uchiha Madara..."
"In front of Akihara Kagura, they have no power to resist..."
"No matter how intelligent the ninja..."
"Even the strategists of Konoha's Nara Clan through the generations..."
"In Akihara Kagura's manipulation, they can't escape the fate thrust upon them..."
As Sasuke spoke of these, he suddenly realized, he never escaped the pressure from Akihara Kagura, each time recalling the man, there's an overwhelming pressure and suffocation that rushes over him...
"..."
Orochimaru's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch, he wondered whether Sasuke was overly obsessed, as such ninjas sounded somewhat mythical?
