The Road to the Throne of White Eyes

Chapter 162 Sasuke defected

At night, the Uchiha clan's territory was pitch black, with only one yard having lights on.

Sasuke stood quietly in the training grounds, his mind racing with thoughts. The past few years flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern. From that man's massacre of his people, his own determination for revenge, his aimless training, to his alliance with the Hyuga Wind, the vast resources and ninjutsu scrolls he acquired, his rapid growth, and then, after graduation, his gradual overtaking by those who had once been laggards...

Thinking of this, Sasuke's expression became very complicated. He practiced so hard, why was he still surpassed by Naruto? He had never even imagined the strength that Naruto would unleash in the Chunin Exam.

And there is Uchiha Itachi and that so-called "brother"!

Sasuke had heard that Uchiha Itachi came to Konoha to cause trouble and was defeated by Hyuga Feng and escaped. He also knew that all members of the Hyuga family disappeared from Konoha.

"I didn't expect that despicable so-called brother to be so powerful. I should have learned more from him earlier!"

Sasuke muttered to himself, but in his heart he felt that it was too shameful for the Uchiha clan to bow down and seek advice from the Hyuga clan.

"Damn it, if this goes on, when will I ever get revenge?"

"Sasuke-kun."

While he was deep in thought, a feminine voice sounded behind him. Sasuke reacted quickly. The two magatama in his eyes spun rapidly. He rushed forward and turned around in mid-air to observe.

The excellent vision of the Sharingan allowed Sasuke to quickly recognize and lock onto the enemy, the traitorous ninja Kabuto Yakushi who was exposed during the Chunin Exam. Sasuke directly shot a string of shurikens in the air.

The shuriken flew along a mysterious route, interacting and changing its course in the air, but in the end, nothing was achieved, and Kabuto Yakushi disappeared out of thin air.

"Don't get excited, Sasuke-kun, we are not enemies."

As soon as Sasuke landed on the ground, before he had time to search for Kabuto's trace, his voice came from behind him. His body reacted to the stress and he rushed to the side. He turned around and spoke after he had dodged more than ten meters.

"The Sound Ninja just destroyed Konoha not long ago, and you actually dared to sneak into Konoha? Aren't you afraid that I will send out a signal?"

"Hehehe, Sasuke-kun, I told you we are not enemies. Don't worry, I came to Konoha this time because Lord Orochimaru asked me to bring you a message."

With a faint smile on his face, he asked word by word, "Do you need strength?"

When the word "power" was mentioned, Sasuke could no longer maintain his cold expression. The two magatama in his eyes spun, revealing a rage that could burn everything, but at the same time there was also some surprise and doubt.

"Power! As long as it gives me enough strength for revenge, I can give it all!"

After a pause and looking Kabuto up and down, Sasuke asked again: "But why should I believe that Orochimaru can give me this kind of power? During the Chunin Exam, Orochimaru was also seriously injured by that palm and escaped, wasn't he?"

When he heard Sasuke questioning Orochimaru's words, Kabuto Yakushi was not angry. He pushed his glasses up and used the reflection of the lenses to hide his feelings.

"You have no idea of ​​Lord Orochimaru's true power, so it's inevitable that you would have such doubts.

Lord Orochimaru still has many hidden cards and powers."

Kabuto looked unfathomable as he spoke, his eyes fixed on Sasuke's neck, reminding him how mysterious the curse seal on his body was.

"As for that attack," Kabuto couldn't help but pause when talking about the shocking palm that fell from the sky.

"Although the power is indeed strong, it was just a sneak attack and that doesn't mean anything.

If Orochimaru-sama uses all his strength, he might be able to achieve that level."

After watching Hinata Feng's palm strike in its entirety, Kabuto didn't dare to say that Orochimaru was stronger, no matter how much he admired him, and could only vaguely pass it over.

Being watched by Kabuto, Sasuke couldn't help but cover his neck with his hands. "Although the power of the curse seal is good, it is far from enough for my revenge. If this is all you have, you'd better leave as soon as possible."

After witnessing more high-end power, Sasuke's vision has become higher and he is no longer fooled by Kabuto's vague words.

In fact, the person Sasuke most wanted to contact was the master who had delivered that palm strike that day, followed by Hinata Feng. During this period, he was even thinking about what chips he could use to exchange with them for the power to defeat Uchiha Itachi.

Although Orochimaru is also within his consideration, his ranking is much lower.

Sasuke was still a little concerned about the words about coveting his body in the Forest of Death. Although he longed for the power to seek revenge, he was not yet at the point of despair.

"The curse seal is not such a simple thing, what you have experienced is only a part of its effect.

A complete curse seal can even give you the power to temporarily fight against Uchiha Itachi."

Kabuto Yakushi's voice whispered in Sasuke's ear like a devil, making Sasuke's mind waver.

Seeing Sasuke's thoughtful expression, Kabuto struck while the iron was hot and said, "The curse seal contains extremely profound contents.

Without Lord Orochimaru's guidance, how much effectiveness of the curse seal can you develop on your own?

What's more, Lord Orochimaru can give you more than just a curse seal!

As one of the former Three Ninjas, Jiraiya was able to greatly improve Uzumaki Naruto's strength, and Lord Orochimaru can improve you even more!"

Sasuke's mind was completely shaken. He found it extremely difficult to accept that Naruto had surpassed him, and he always wanted to defeat Naruto again.

After thinking for a long time, Sasuke finally asked coldly: "What kind of power can Orochimaru give me, and what does he want me to do?"

Kabuto smiled slightly and said, "Master, there are endless ninjutsu to teach you. First, let me help you master the next level of the curse seal, so that you can truly understand the greatness of Master Orochimaru."

The remote Uchiha clan territory was empty and lonely. The night wind blowing through the treetops mixed with Kabuto's whispers, sounding dark and eerie, as if the Uchiha's ghosts were wandering here crying.

……

Three nights later, Uchiha Sasuke packed up the last of his things, stood in the room for a long time, and finally walked out without looking back.

"Sasuke-kun, are you ready?

As long as you take the potion and enter the sealing ritual to undergo body transformation, your curse seal will be developed to a higher level when you wake up."

"Cut the nonsense and come on!"

.......

In the early hours of the morning, Kabuto Yakushi left Konoha along a secret route, carrying the wooden barrel containing Sasuke.

About a minute after his figure disappeared, Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen walked out from the shadows on the side with murderous looks on their faces.

"I noticed something was wrong with him before, but I didn't expect him to defect so quickly. He's truly the evil Uchiha clan!"

Danzo's tone made no secret of his disgust for the Uchiha clan. He then looked at Hiruzen and asked, "You just watched him defect? ​​Uchiha Itachi deliberately showed up in Konoha to threaten us."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's usually peaceful face was now horribly distorted, and he said with murderous intent, "The threat posed by the remnants of the Uchiha is too great. Itachi has been away from Konoha for many years without sending back any information. He is already a complete traitor."

Danzo narrowed his one eye. He had wanted that man's eyes for a long time.

"Then I will urge Tsunade to hunt down Sasuke, and the Root will also send a small force to pursue him."

Hiruzen nodded, "The elite of the Root, Anbu, and Sarutobi clan will follow further behind, hoping to lure out Uchiha Itachi and those remnants.

Then we’ll catch them all in one fell swoop!”
