Chapter 17

After leaving the training ground, Kazuki arranged five shadow clones to follow the other five people except Sasuke.

Although Ino and the others should not be able to see, Kazuki still decided to be cautious.

Uchiha training ground,

"You came to this secluded place specifically to find a chance to kill me?" Sasuke crossed his arms and snorted coldly.

Even though he guessed that Kazuki might do this, he was not panicked at all. Lack of strength did not affect his calmness and pretense at all!

"If I wanted to kill you, you won't have the chance to say so much." Kazuki said lightly, "You should be very curious about why I have those eyes and why I don't let you tell anyone, right?"

Sasuke looked at Kazuki with a hungry look in his eyes, "Why?"

"Let me answer your first question first. The reason why I have these eyes is because I have Uchiha blood."

"It's impossible. The clan rules of the Uchiha clan do not allow clan members to marry outside the clan. Even Uchiha clan members who do not have ninja talent cannot leave the clan. How can you have Uchiha blood if you were born in the Gekko Clan?"

"If you ask me this question, I don't know either." Kazuki said calmly, "My parents died when I was born. How about I dig them out and let you ask them?"

"..." Sasuke is also a person who lost his parents. He can empathize with Kazuki's experience, but he will not say, "Parents give birth to you, but no parents raise you."

"Then why can't you tell it to others?"

"Because... Konoha can't be trusted!"

"Konoha is untrustworthy?" Sasuke didn't understand what this meant. Konoha collected the bodies of his clan members after they died, and the house he lived in after losing his clan members was given to him for free by Konoha. Even his current life was funded by Konoha.

In summary, even if he had no feelings for Konoha, at least he would not have any opinions about Konoha. However, Kazuki's point of view told him that Konoha was far from being as simple as he thought.

"How much do you know about the reasons for the extermination of the Uchiha clan?"

Sasuke frowned, "What do you mean?"

"Obviously, the reason I ask this is because what you know is what someone wants you to know. The truth about the Uchiha clan genocide is not as simple as it seems."

"You mean the Uchiha clan's extermination is related to Konoha?" Although Kazuki said it clearly, Sasuke also understood what Kazuki meant.

"That's right."

"What do you know? Tell me!" Sasuke was very excited and grabbed Kazuki's collar with both hands.

But Kazuki remained calm and said lightly, "I can't tell you now."

"Why?"

"Because you are not strong enough, and with your temper, I am afraid that you will seek revenge if you know the truth, and then not only will you not be able to take revenge, but you may also expose me. I don't want to be implicated by an idiot like you."

Sasuke gritted his teeth. He has always called others idiots, but this is the first time someone has called him an idiot!

"How far do you want me to go before you tell me the truth?"

"At least to the point where you can become a Hokage."

"Hokage... Okay!" Hokage is the strongest ninja in a village, at least on the surface. It is a more or less difficult challenge for Sasuke to aim for the Hokage.

However, Sasuke did not seem to take the Hokage seriously and agreed lightly. Kazuki did not expect Sasuke to be so straightforward, and he did not know whether it was because of confidence or ignorance.

With Sasuke's current strength, the gap between him and the Hokage level is more than a hundred times!

"I have answered your doubts. I hope you will keep your mouth shut and not tell anyone that I have those eyes. Otherwise, you and I will both be in great trouble!"

"I understand what you said, but why would those people in Konoha attack you because you have the Sharingan? And nothing happened to me?" Sasuke asked.

"I will tell you when you reach the level of Kage. You just need to know that my situation is different from yours. My exposure will make some people's greed explode. And the person behind the scenes is the real murderer of the Uchiha clan!"

"The real murderer!" Sasuke secretly clenched his fists.

He didn't know if what Kazuki said was true. But Kazuki was most likely a fellow clansman who was stranded outside, and as long as the fellow clansman was not Uchiha Itachi, he was trustworthy.

"OK! I'll listen to you! For revenge, I must work hard to reach the level of Kage!"

"Correct..." Sasuke handed two scrolls to Kazuki, "These are the other two styles of Uchiha style swordsmanship and the Great Dragon Fire Technique."

He originally planned to keep these two techniques in order to defeat Kazuki with them in the future. But now there is no need. Defeating Kazuki is no longer his goal.

His only goal in becoming stronger now is revenge!

Kazuki did not hesitate to accept the two scrolls. When Sasuke learns these two skills in the future, he will have a reason to use them.

"Practice well, especially your eyes. The Sharingan is the foundation of the Uchiha clan's strength! I will check your practice results once a year. When you reach the level of Kage and surpass the third Hokage, I will take you to revenge!"...

After painting a rosy picture for Sasuke, Sasuke became even more arrogant. He practiced all night and went home exhausted.

A week later, after Kazuki was sure that Sasuke had trusted him, he withdrew the shadow clones around Sasuke. Although he had fooled Sasuke, he still monitored Sasuke for seven days just in case.

Fortunately, Sasuke seemed to be completely convinced by him and didn't say anything to anyone. Otherwise, Kazuki would have killed his relatives for the sake of justice!

Although he would not kill Sasuke because of the system binding, he would not let him stay in the village. Kazuki would tie Sasuke up and defect to Konoha, and would kill him only after squeezing out his last value!

On the other side, Hinata, Ino, and Sakura's shadow clones were also withdrawn. The three of them really didn't seem to see anything, and there was no special movement in the Hyuga clan and the Yamanaka clan.

Inuzuka Kiba, Aburame Shino, and a passerby named Yue were still under his surveillance. Although the three had not yet revealed his news, Kazuki decided to be cautious and monitor them for half a year.

Even when they are sleeping, they have to be watched to see if they will talk in their sleep and expose themselves!

In this way, half a year has passed, and Kazuki has absorbed the memories of the shadow clones countless times.

"It seems that he really didn't see it." Kazuki let out a sigh of relief. His nerves, which had been tense for half a year, could finally relax. He no longer had to think about running away at any time.

In the past six months, Kazuki even packed up his belongings. As long as he saw that the situation was not right, he would run away immediately!

The main point was to be cautious!
