"As Naruto, I can't believe he made such a decision …"
Even Sasuke, as an Uchiha, felt that Watergate's plan to create another pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan was too risky.
Whether it's today's Uchiha or other major ninja countries, the current peace of the ninja world is based on Wood Leaf's strength.
And Yondaime-sama Naruto's approach may destroy this balance.
No wonder his father supported his approach, because whether he and Itachi can successfully evolve Mangekyou Sharingan into Mangekyou Sharingan or not, for the clan's strength will increase again.
As a result, Sasuke had more questions in his heart.
Because he knew that Watergate was a calm person, and he didn't hesitate to make such a risky decision …
Sasuke suddenly thought of Watergate's expression when he mentioned Uchiha Madara.
"Fusion to create a pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, is this whole thing related to Uchiha Madara?" Sasuke's face suddenly became tense.
"Have you guessed it already?"
Watergate once again praised Sasuke's careful thinking and said: "Of course, the people who attacked the village twice, and even the things that happened in the Shinobi World War a long time ago, are all related to Madara."
"It's all related to Madara … How is it possible?
Didn't he die in the Valley of the End long ago? "Sasuke's eyes were shocked.
"I'm afraid things are not as simple as we think." Watergate looked solemn.
"I did kill the masked man who attacked the village, but according to Nagato, that guy didn't seem to be dead."
"Then what is their purpose?" Sasuke was surprised.
Watergate replied: "Unfortunately, so far, we haven't figured out the real intention of the other party."
"It's also because of this that we need a pair of eyes to see the purpose of the enemy."
He glanced at Itachi and Sasuke, then said with a smile in his eyes, "By relying on the bond and strength between you two brothers."
When Sasuke heard this, he turned his head and met Itachi's eyes.
"Forgive me, Zo …" Itachi said the same words in a familiar tone.
Sasuke smiled faintly and said, "Big brother, you've been using these words to coax me since I was young, but I'm no longer a child …"
"I don't want to hear words like 'forgive me, next time' anymore."
Itachi was startled and said, "Yes, I've always been used to protecting you, but the current you no longer needs me to do so …"
Just now, Sasuke wanted to kill him. If he didn't have the power of Mangekyou Sharingan, it wouldn't have been easy for him to deal with him.
"So far, I've let you experience so many cruel things, if you resent me in your heart, I have nothing to say." Watergate looked at Sasuke and said sincerely.
"No, except for what happened today, I don't think those missions are bad."
"Although it is indeed a bit cruel, but because of this, I have indeed become stronger." The complex emotions in Sasuke's eyes gradually disappeared, and the confusion was no longer there.
The seal on his chest that was previously left by Watergate was unlocked by the latter during the conversation.
"Whoosh!"
Sasuke's dark eyes turned blood-red, and the three tomoe rotated, connecting into the shape of a hexagram.
"And today's events have also given me the capital to verify the future you said."
"However, there is one more thing I want to confirm."
He stared at Watergate's eyes and said solemnly.
"Yondaime-sama Naruto, are you really not afraid that the Uchiha Clan will once again have great power beyond the scope of your control?"
The two pairs of eyes looked at each other, and Watergate slowly said, "There will still be scruples, but since I have made such a decision, I will give you my full trust."
"Just like so far, Yan, your father, Onii-san, Waterstop, and many other Uchiha Clansmen have done."
"I believe that one day, we will be able to understand each other and work together to protect this hard-won peace."
"In that case, I will trust you for the time being."
Sasuke responded, "Not only the trust you have in me, but more importantly, my parents, Onii-san, and all the people I cherish believe in you."
"I will do my best to familiarize myself with this power as soon as possible."
"If one of us succeeds, then what should we do next?"
Hearing this, Watergate's eyes turned and looked at the depths of the shrine.
In the center of the shrine, there was a mottled stone tablet.
"The purpose of the enemy should be related to the content of that stone tablet."
"What is written on that stone tablet?"
Sasuke didn't pay attention to the stone tablet in the shrine.
"You can see for yourself, only those who have the Sharingan can decipher the content of the stone tablet with their eye power."
Uchiha Yan said from the side.
Sasuke nodded and slowly approached the stone tablet and urged his eye power.
He concentrated on deciphering the content of the stone tablet, but when he reached a certain part, no matter how much he urged his eye power, he couldn't continue to read it.
At this time, Itachi was already standing beside Kuroto and explained, "The content of this stone tablet can't be completely seen even with the Mangekyo's eye power."
"Therefore, it is necessary to rely on the Mangekyo's eye power to read it."
"So far, I am afraid that only Madara of the Uchiha Clan has seen the latter part of the content, the things recorded on the stone tablet should be related to his true intentions."
"The Mangekyo's eye power can control the tailed beasts …" Sasuke murmured the content of the stone tablet thoughtfully.
Watergate nodded with appreciation and said, "The enemy's plan is related to the tailed beasts, and they have already started to hunt the tailed beasts …"
Sasuke was surprised.
"Since we need your strength, I will tell you everything."
Watergate said and told Sasuke everything that has happened so far and his thoughts.
...
One day later, the news that Kumo Shinobu and the Rock's Jinchuriki were captured one after another reached Wood Leaf.
"Is it too late …"
In Naruto's office, Watergate looked at the information scroll in front of him with a pale face.
"Nibi, Yonbi, Gobi, Hachibi, and Sanbi, the enemy actually got five tailed beasts in such a short time."
Sandaime was shocked and said, "So, who will be their next target?"
Watergate was pondering, and suddenly he noticed something, and his expression changed.
Because the tailed beasts captured by the Akatsuki belong to the villages that haven't established a connection with Wood Leaf yet.
The Nanabi is in the Waterfall Village, and a few years ago, when Watergate spread the news of the enemy's possible movements to the entire ninja world, the Waterfall Village took advantage of the situation and attached itself to Wood Leaf, the most powerful of the five major ninja clans.
"The next target should be us …"
