Chapter 190: Chapter 190"Gensou-sama!"
The Uchiha members finally noticed Gensou's arrival, and they respectfully and gratefully bowed to him.
They understood that without Gensou, they would have been stuck in the village, surviving in obscurity. They wouldn't be standing here today, avenging their clan in front of their own ancestral grounds, before the gravestones of their kin.
Sasuke, Izumi, and Jin were also among those bowing. The awakening of their Mangekyō Sharingan did not make them arrogant.
Gensou waved his hand casually and briefly instructed, "Mission accomplished. Prepare to return."
"Yes!"
The Uchiha ninjas responded swiftly.
Sasuke glanced at Itachi's body on the ground, his eyes flickering.
Gensou instructed him, "Take Itachi's body. From now on, his Mangekyō Sharingan belongs to you."
Sasuke nodded silently.
In the end, it was still him who would combine both brothers' Mangekyō Sharingan.
'Eternal Mangekyō, huh... Is this what you were pursuing so desperately, Itachi?'
Sasuke looked at Itachi, whose eyes were now closed forever, then took out a sealing scroll and sealed Itachi's body inside.
Just as Gensou and his group were about to leave-
Outside Naka Shrine, the sound of something tearing through the air approached quickly.
It was the Konoha forces, who had just dealt with Gensou's sage techniques and were now rushing over.
As they crossed the ruins and finally arrived before the true owners of this land-
What greeted them were pairs of Sharingan, whose gazes filled them with unease!
"Sharingan! They're all Sharingan!"
A Konoha ninja shouted excitedly.
However, he quickly realized something-the Sharingan that had once brought him a strong sense of security as a teammate, despite its arrogance, was now on the opposite side, an enemy.
'How did it come to this?' he wondered to himself in confusion.
But even if he voiced his question aloud, given the involvement of the Konoha leadership, no one would answer him.
Tsunade, who had earlier summoned Katsuyu, splitting it into hundreds of parts to protect and heal the Konoha ninja, and thus preventing any casualties, was now seriously scrutinizing the group led by Hagoromo Gensou.
"As expected! They're all former members of the Uchiha clan. However, they were all marked as deceased before the night of the massacre."
As the Hokage, after learning the names Uchiha Jin and Uchiha Izumi from Yamato, Tsunade had specifically reviewed the Uchiha clan's old personnel files.
Now, as she compared the Uchihas before her with the files, she quickly identified them all. Without exception, they had all been registered Konoha ninjas.
"They all have three tomoe! And there are even three of them with eyes like Itachi!"
Beside her, Jiraiya's expression was very grave. His gaze swept over everyone before finally resting on the sealing scroll that Sasuke had just put away.
No need to guess; Itachi's body was in there.
"Itachi, who had been with the Akatsuki for so long, also fell to Sasuke and the others."
Jiraiya felt a headache coming on.
Clearly, Konoha had the numerical advantage, yet in his eyes, it was still far from enough. Even if they sent reinforcements, the situation would still be dire. Searᴄh the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
"Sasuke!!"
With Naruto absent, Sakura could only take his place. The moment she saw Sasuke again, she couldn't help but call out.
To her surprise, unlike before, Sasuke, who usually ignored her, looked over at her this time and even nodded.
Happiness struck too suddenly.
Sakura was first shocked, then bewildered, and finally, exceptionally delighted.
"Could it be that Sasuke has changed his mind?" Sakura muttered to herself.
Kakashi beside her wasn't as naive.
He immediately noticed Sasuke's eyes, which were completely different from before.
"Mangekyō, huh..." Kakashi thought of his own left eye.
After two years of training, Obito's Sharingan in his left eye had evolved into a Mangekyō Sharingan (in fact, it was merely reactivating the Mangekyō that had long since evolved).
Fully aware of the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan, Kakashi could imagine the incredible power that would be unleashed with a pair of them.
However, now it wasn't just Sasuke-Izumi and Jin, whom Yamato had mentioned earlier, had also awakened Mangekyō Sharingan.
Along with over ten three-tomoe Sharingan users, who were even stronger than regular jōnin.
And most importantly-
Even with the addition of all these Mangekyō Sharingan, nothing could overshadow the presence of Hagoromo Gensou, who stood on the opposing side.
With such a lineup-
Leaving aside whether they could even fight them-
If they really did go all out, so many powerful ninjas fighting would surely leave Konoha in
ruins.
With that thought, Kakashi quickly looked to Tsunade.
It was clear that, as Hokage, she had also realized this, now caught between a rock and a hard
place.
On the opposing side-
The only one with no worries at all, Gensou glanced at the incoming Konoha forces. Their
numbers were about the same as before.
Not bad.
Gensou nodded in satisfaction.
After all, these people were his precious resources for the future.
Their growth pleased him.
It was important to know that while the chakra on this planet could currently only sustain one
or two individuals wielding Kekkei Sōmō, the total amount of chakra on the planet was
gradually increasing.
Initially, when the God Tree descended and Ōtsutsuki Kaguya ate the chakra fruit, becoming the progenitor of chakra, the total amount of chakra remained constant.
However, with the spread of ninjutsu and more people able to cultivate chakra, the total amount of chakra on the planet had begun to grow slowly.
Of course, Gensou wanted to see this trend continue, even accelerate.
He even considered spreading "sacred manuals" across the shinobi world so that everyone
could cultivate "inner energy" and generate large amounts of chakra.
That way, when he truly needed chakra, he would have a higher chance of success.
However, chakra cultivation depended on one's aptitude.
Some people, no matter what method they used, simply couldn't cultivate it.
And even if they could, their aptitude was limited, and they could only produce a very small
amount of chakra.
Thus, Gensou's plan for spreading power universally had to be scrapped.
Now, he could only rely on the current shinobi of the shinobi world.
Seeing that Tsunade and the others were hesitant to make a move, surrounding them but not
attacking-
Standing on the small hill of Naka Shrine, Gensou glanced down at the bustling village center
in the distance, and it all became clear.
He looked at Tsunade, smiling faintly:
"The Uchiha clan's revenge is complete. We won't disturb Konoha any longer."
With that, Gensou waved his hand and led the way down the hill.
Without a second thought, the Uchiha followed closely.
"Hokage-sama..."
The Konoha ninja blocking their way couldn't help but look at Tsunade.
However, before Tsunade could respond, Gensou approached and glanced at them calmly.
Instinctively, these Konoha ninja hurriedly stepped aside.
A clear, unblocked path appeared.
