Cave of Heaven Rock
Chapter 217 Cave of Heaven Rock
Night, Land of Fire, a certain post town, in an inn.
"Cave of Heaven Rock."
"This is the new ability I've obtained."
"Its effect is to erase the eyesight of anyone who meets my gaze, while also stripping them of their Dojutsu."
Uchiha Sasuke frankly stated his ability.
Cave of Heaven Rock...
Memories swirled in Lin Ke's mind as he thought of the origin.
In Japanese mythology, in the Kojiki, Amaterasu Omikami was frightened by Susanoo and hid in the Cave of Heaven Rock, so the world lost its light.
In the myth, Ame-no-Tajikarao pulled Amaterasu Omikami out. In the manga, Sasuke claimed to have inherited Itachi's will, so he possessed Amenotejikara.
In the current real world, Sasuke, who awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan knowing the truth, possessed a Dojutsu that could confine Amaterasu to darkness.
Fate is truly interesting.
It's just a pity that it's not a space-time Dojutsu.
Lin Ke felt a slight regret in his heart, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Actually, I know how to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan."
Uchiha Sasuke remained silent. He vaguely sensed that those past stories, and the fact that when he pierced Lin Ke's body, their Chakra was linked, he felt only calmness, not the panic, pain, anger, or confusion that should have been present.
"Including the fact that you would be lured here by Itachi, I had guessed it," Lin Ke continued. Since he wanted to use the Mangekyō Sharingan to talk to Obito and Black Zetsu, he couldn't bypass the holder of the Mangekyō Sharingan.
He had indeed guessed Itachi's plan from the beginning and deliberately cooperated. Otherwise, when the battle started, he should have brought out Uchiha Mikoto as well, letting the Uchiha couple stall for time while he cooperated with Utakata and his shadow clones to solve Kisame first—
He liked good children who honestly weaved hand seals the most.
"Including the fact that when you awakened your eyes at the end, I didn't immediately show the effect of the technique, it was all part of my plan, or rather, part of Itachi's plan."
He paused, explained Uchiha Itachi's plan, and placed the Scroll containing the corpse of the filial son on the tatami mat.
Uchiha Sasuke wasn't angry; his emotions were very complicated.
His brother, whom he had killed calmly, had paved the way for his future. His friend, who had cooperated in the act, also wanted him to gain power.
Both of them had tacitly ignored his feelings and his pain.
But even so, he didn't want to let go.
The Uchiha's fervent emotions were hidden beneath a cold exterior. Just because they were teammates on a mission, he could risk his life to block an attack for Naruto, thus gaining a friend who constantly chased after him.
Facing Lin Ke, who had pulled him out of the abyss, facing someone who had been good to him from beginning to end, how could he bear to be angry?
"You," Uchiha Sasuke looked over, meeting his friend's gaze, "What exactly do you want to do?"
Lin Ke slowly stood up, pulled open the shoji door, letting the moonlight stream in, and asked in a somewhat ethereal voice, "Sasuke, don't you think this World is a bit too noisy?"
"..."
Uchiha Sasuke was somewhat puzzled.
"Countries, villages, Daimyos, ninjas."
Lin Ke raised his hand, watching the moonlight flow through his fingers, his voice much lower, "Sasuke, I've killed many people."
"Many meaningless slaughters."
"The Chakra and Ninjutsu that the Sage of Six Paths passed down to connect people have become tools of conflict."
"In the Ninja Academy, the ninja code tells me that ninjas are such a profession, they are tools, and should not expose any emotions."
"It has always been this way."
"But, just because it has always been this way, does that make it right?" He seemed to be asking himself, and also asking Sasuke, his face revealing many, many unspeakable emotions.
Those were the emotions he had suppressed in his heart since becoming a ninja.
It was all the emotions that a transmigrator living under the red flag could express when facing a deformed, cruel World.
There were too many madmen in this World; one more wouldn't make a difference, and one less wouldn't matter.
Uchiha Sasuke didn't answer. He had personally seen Momochi Zabuza and Haku, and had carried out many missions in the chaotic Land of Rivers.
The cruelty of the ninja world always lingered around him.
"Sasuke."
Lin Ke clenched his fist, closed his eyes, and said, "No one stands in the sky from the beginning, whether it's you, me, or even a god."
"But the unbearable vacancy on the Throne of Heaven is about to end."
He opened his eyes, returning to his usual calm.
"I want to change The World, I want to completely eliminate the profession of ninja, I want to ascend to the Throne of Heaven and make The World revolve according to my will."
He turned around, looking at the Mangekyō Sharingan, and said, "Before that, I need you."
"Sasuke," he said, extending his hand.
Just like that rainy night when he asked Sasuke why he pursued power.
Is this your answer?
Uchiha Sasuke didn't hesitate for too long, reaching out to grasp it, his voice firm, "I am, Uchiha—"
"Sasuke."
"From now on, I will become your strength."
Why did he awaken the technique of Cave of Heaven Rock? Was it because he was controlled by that strange Dojutsu to assassinate Lin Ke? Or did he see Lin Ke being killed by the Dojutsu Amaterasu in a Genjutsu? Or was it because Uchiha Itachi mentioned, when he was tormented by Tsukuyomi, that Genjutsu would become reality?
He didn't know.
Having experienced the heart-wrenching feeling of the day, even if it meant death, he didn't want to experience it a second time.
What world, what village, he didn't care. He only wanted to become the other's strength.
Whether it was the Throne of Heaven or changing The World, he didn't want to be left alone again.
Kneeling in the shadows, Uchiha Sasuke's expression was more determined than ever, his eyes incredibly bright.
Chakra converged at this moment.
The communication between people that the Sage of Six Paths had hoped for was achieved through a one-sided opening of hearts.
Lin Ke knew the young man's thoughts, and the words he had prepared to describe the beautiful vision of the future suddenly didn't know where to begin.
As expected, bonds and such…
He let go of his hand, not speaking, the communication between hearts interrupted, his face in the shadows, unable to discern any expression, he simply said, "You've been eavesdropping for a long time, you should come out now."
"That's quite the idea," Utakata jumped down from the roof, landing in the courtyard, his tone slightly raised.
"What about you, what do you think?" Lin Ke threw the question back.
Uchiha Sasuke, in the shadows, stared intently at the Six Tails Jinchuriki with his Mangekyō Sharingan.
Knowing such a thing, if he revealed any abnormality…
Utakata met his gaze without fear, and said to him in a serious tone, "I will be watching you, next time, I will kill you in advance."
He said nothing, yet it seemed he had already given his answer.
Lin Ke tried to calm the excitement in his heart, did he know what this meant?
Mangekyō Sharingan + Tailed Beast + his Shadow Clone Technique
