Chapter 794 Uchiha Sasuke? Spy!

“Where is this?”

In a daze, Sasuke found himself in a lush green forest, falling rapidly.

Sasuke calmly adjusted his body and landed steadily.

“Why aren’t Boruto and I together?”

Sasuke scanned the surroundings, his expression somewhat grim; he and Boruto had been separated.

Sasuke did not act rashly. He carefully observed his surroundings while thinking about what had just happened.

He and Boruto had been fighting Ōtsutsuki Urashiki in the Institute of Ancient Artifacts, and as a result, they had both been transported to a strange dimension with him.

Within the strange dimension, they continued to fight, but just as they were losing ground, Ōtsutsuki Urashiki suddenly looked displeased, muttered something about bad luck, and then, after a moment of disorientation, Sasuke found himself in this forest.

“Judging by Ōtsutsuki Urashiki’s reaction, this must be an unexpected situation, not something he planned. In that case, Boruto should be safe for now.”

After analyzing the situation, Sasuke breathed a slight sigh of relief.

If something happened to Boruto, he wouldn’t have the face to see Naruto again.

Sasuke flashed onto a tree, preparing to observe the nearby situation from a high vantage point.

To prevent any accidents, he still needed to find Boruto as soon as possible.

At this moment, Sasuke suddenly sensed something. His right hand quietly gripped the Kusanagi Sword hidden within his black robe, and he swiftly turned around.

“Who are you?”

Itachi Uchiha looked curiously at Sasuke standing on the tree branch.

He had heard movement and thought Shisui had returned, not expecting a stranger he didn’t know.

“?!”

Sasuke looked at the child who bore a striking resemblance to his older brother, his mind reeling, countless conjectures flashing through his thoughts.

However, Sasuke was, after all, a legendary Ninja who had experienced countless trials and tribulations. Despite his many thoughts, his expression remained unchanged.

“Has no one ever told you that you should state your name before asking someone else’s?”

Sasuke thought for a moment and said.

“Are you an Uchiha?”

Itachi Uchiha did not answer Sasuke’s question but instead asked him another one.

Sasuke felt extremely strange.

Since this child, who resembled Itachi Uchiha, knew about the Uchiha, why wouldn’t he recognize him, the most famous Uchiha powerhouse in the Ninja World currently?

Sasuke hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

“Oh, I see. Then you can continue playing here. I’m going to train.”

Itachi Uchiha chose not to exchange names with Sasuke, maintaining a wary distance.

Although Sasuke was very concerned about this child who resembled Itachi Uchiha, Boruto’s safety was more important at the moment.

After ensuring Boruto’s safety, he would come back to investigate this child.

Whoosh!

Sasuke leaped several times to a high point, seeing a town in the distance, as well as four stone faces on a high cliff.

“Only four!”

Sasuke was incredibly shocked, and he quickly checked his Chakra.

Although it was almost impossible for him, with his Rinnegan and Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, to fall under a Genjutsu, he still checked very carefully.

After confirming there were no issues, Sasuke looked at the Hokage Rock again. Indeed, there were only four.

“Four stone faces, a child very similar to my brother… Could it be that I’ve traveled back in time?!”

Sasuke connected all the information and made a judgment.

Although time travel was absurd, based on the existing information, such an absurd thing had indeed happened.

“If I go now and deal with Danzo Shimura…”

A strong surge of killing intent welled up in Sasuke’s heart.

If it weren’t for Danzo Shimura, his parents wouldn’t have died, and his brother wouldn’t have had to become the culprit of the clan massacre.

Recalling that sorrowful, bloody night, and his brother’s dying face, Sasuke’s killing intent swelled even more.

“No, the top priority is to find Boruto.”

Sasuke let out a long breath, re-sheathing the Kusanagi Sword he was about to draw, suppressing the killing intent in his heart.

He hadn’t figured out what was going on yet, and he couldn’t act rashly without knowing if changing the past would have any negative effects on the future.

“Uncle, I’m Itachi Uchiha. Can you tell me who you are now?”

Just as Sasuke was about to leave to search for Boruto, Itachi Uchiha, for some reason, ran back and told Sasuke his name.

Sasuke was silent for a moment.

Being called “Uncle” by his own older brother was indeed a very novel experience.

“Suigetsu.”

Sasuke casually gave a name.

He had already been born at this time, so he certainly couldn’t use his own name.

“Oh, I see. Uncle, are you a Ninja?”

Itachi Uchiha continued to ask.

“No.”

Sasuke shook his head.

He wasn’t a Ninja of this era, and rashly admitting his Ninja identity might cause unnecessary trouble.

“Itachi, I’m sorry, I lied to you just now. Actually, I’m not from the Uchiha Clan.”

Sasuke said apologetically.

He hadn’t known he had time-traveled just now, and because of Itachi Uchiha, he had admitted to being an Uchiha.

“Oh, I see. Then why did you lie to me, Uncle? Lying is not good.”

Itachi Uchiha said earnestly.

“I admire the Ninja of the Uchiha Clan very much, so I spoke nonsense.”

Sasuke explained.

Sasuke wouldn’t act rashly in the past until he understood the consequences.

“Specifically, who do you admire? Shisui-Nii? Or Obito-Nii?”

Itachi Uchiha continued to ask.

Hearing the name Obito, a strange expression couldn’t help but appear on Sasuke’s face. What was there to admire about that guy?

“Also, can I ask you a question, Uncle?”

Although Itachi Uchiha’s tone was inquisitive, he didn’t wait for Sasuke’s answer before asking the question.

“One day, when you’re crossing the road, you encounter an old man who has difficulty walking. Which of the following three options would you choose?”

“A. Help the old man cross the road.”

“B. Ignore the old man and go your own way.”

“C. Snatch the lollipop from the old man’s hand.”

Sasuke:?

Sasuke slowly put a question mark in his mind.

Who had turned his brother into this? Where did these strange questions come from?

“And, is my brother intentionally stalling for time?”

Sasuke discovered something.

Itachi Uchiha was being overly enthusiastic towards him.

Normally, Itachi Uchiha wouldn’t interact so much with an unfamiliar stranger.

“Itachi, I’m sorry, I have something to do today. I’ll answer your question next time.”

Sasuke turned to leave.

It wasn’t that he was worried about encountering danger; no matter what Itachi Uchiha wanted to do, the current Itachi Uchiha was just a little kid and couldn’t do much.

The main thing was his concern for Boruto.

Not to mention Ōtsutsuki Urashiki, this era itself was very dangerous.

Boruto’s era was too peaceful, and Boruto wasn’t a calm person, so he could easily expose his abnormality and be mistaken for an enemy Village spy.

“Dad, it’s this black-robed person! He disguised himself as a clan member to approach me!”

Just then, another Itachi Uchiha, accompanied by Fugaku Uchiha and several Uchiha Jonin, rushed out and surrounded Sasuke.

At first, Itachi Uchiha didn’t actually dislike the black-robed person.

For some reason, he felt a strange sense of familiarity with the black-robed person.

However, after the black-robed person claimed to be an Uchiha, this feeling of familiarity, in Itachi Uchiha’s eyes, became proof of a dangerous individual.

The Uchiha Clan had so few people, and they all lived in the clan territory, constantly seeing each other. There was no way there could be an Uchiha he didn’t know at all.

Disguising himself as an Uchiha, making him feel familiar, and trying to gather information about him—if Itachi Uchiha still couldn’t find a problem, then his theories would have been for naught.

Sasuke: …

Should he say it was worthy of his genius brother? He could use the Shadow Clone Technique at such a young age.

“Who are you, where are you from, and why are you approaching Itachi?!”

Fugaku Uchiha sternly looked at Sasuke and asked.

Looking at that familiar, serious face from his memories, Sasuke felt a pang of emotion, and the desire to kill Danzo Shimura stirred again.

“I am Suigetsu. Actually, this is a misunderstanding. I was just playing a joke with Itachi earlier.”

Sasuke suppressed his chaotic thoughts and explained.

“Itachi, you’ll understand if you dispel your Shadow Clone.”

Itachi Uchiha formed a hand seal to dispel his Shadow Clone. As the memories flowed back to his main body, he showed a thoughtful expression.

“It seems there might indeed be some misunderstanding.”

Itachi Uchiha was a little unsure.

In the Shadow Clone’s memories, Sasuke behaved very normally, not like someone with malicious intent towards him, but his previous behavior was indeed very confusing.

“Then, Mr. Suigetsu, please show your identification or Ninja credentials.”

Fugaku Uchiha shook his head at Itachi Uchiha, signaling him to step back, then looked at Sasuke and said.

Whether there was a problem or not, he would naturally know after checking.

“I am not a Ninja, nor am I a resident of Konoha. I am a citizen of the Land of Rain. Life is hard there, so I came to Konoha to perform acrobatics and earn a living.”

Sasuke said without changing his expression.

After the Fourth Shinobi World War, in order to investigate the matter of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, he had traveled far and wide across the entire Ninja World, understanding the situations of various countries thoroughly. It was absolutely impossible for him to reveal any flaws.

“Life is hard for citizens of the Land of Rain?”

Fugaku Uchiha felt a bit amused. He even joked with Itachi, but he exposed a flaw in his very first sentence.

Currently, the Land of Rain’s economy was developing very well. Many places in the Five Great Nations couldn’t compare to the well-developed cities in the Land of Rain.

Among them, Six Paths City, which was developing the best, was so sought after that it was difficult to find a house, and even with continuous expansion, it was hard to meet demand.

“Since you’re here to perform acrobatics, would you mind demonstrating some acrobatics, Mr. Suigetsu?”

Fugaku Uchiha asked.

Sasuke nodded, took out a red ball from his embrace, and tossed it into the sky.

At that very moment, Fugaku Uchiha rushed towards Sasuke, reaching out to grab him.

“He actually made a move. Did I reveal any flaws?”

Sasuke noticed Fugaku Uchiha’s sneak attack, instinctively dodged, and felt very confused.

“Catch him, don’t let him run.”

Seeing that Sasuke could actually dodge his attack, Fugaku Uchiha narrowed his eyes, concentrating Chakra in his eyes.

Undoubtedly, he had caught a big fish.

Although he hadn’t used his full strength just now, it was a surprise attack. The fact that Sasuke could dodge it proved his strength.

“Who exactly are you?!”

The other Uchiha Jonin, seeing this, activated their Sharingan and spread out, blocking Sasuke’s escape routes.

“This has devolved into the worst possible situation.”

Looking at the pairs of blood-red eyes fixed on him, Sasuke felt a headache.

If he were in his prime, he certainly wouldn’t care about these few Ninja.

The problem was that he had no Chakra left now.

Part of his Chakra had been consumed during the battle with Ōtsutsuki Urashiki, and another part had been fished away by Ōtsutsuki Urashiki.

He only had a little Chakra that he had just refined.

“There’s no other way.”

Sasuke sighed, slowly raising his right hand.

“This is truly a misunderstanding.”

Sasuke said, adopting a surrendering posture.

If Sasuke were to fight hard, even with insufficient Chakra, it wouldn’t be impossible for him to escape based on his strength and experience.

But the problem was that his opponents were his family and clan members, and Sasuke couldn’t attack recklessly.

Moreover, this was Konoha. If Sasuke resisted arrest with force, he would immediately be wanted, and the Anbu of the Village would mobilize en masse, which would be even worse.

It was better to be directly thrown into prison. Sasuke would have plenty of ways to get out once his Chakra recovered.

“Search him for any suspicious items.”

Fugaku Uchiha did not relax his guard just because Sasuke gave up resisting. He maintained his Sharingan state and had his subordinates search Sasuke.

Fortunately, Sasuke wasn’t carrying anything, and only his Kusanagi Sword was taken by the Uchiha Jonin.

“Take him away.”

Fugaku Uchiha nodded and, along with his subordinates, took Sasuke to the Police Force’s interrogation room, where he personally interrogated Sasuke.

“What is your real name, where are you from, and what is your purpose in coming to Konoha?”

Fugaku Uchiha asked.

“Suigetsu, from the Land of Rain. I was curious about Konoha, so I came to see it.”

Sasuke slightly altered his explanation.

After all, he had revealed a bit of his strength, so he couldn’t use performing as an excuse anymore.

“Then why did you lie before?”

“Because I’m tired of war. I’m no longer a Ninja of the Land of Rain and am being hunted by the Village.”

Sasuke explained.

This explanation had a big loophole. If Konoha sent someone to investigate the Land of Rain, he would be exposed.

However, the Land of Rain had been isolated for a long time, making investigations much more difficult than in ordinary countries.

By the time Konoha investigated and found results, he would have long since left prison and gone into hiding.

“Are you intentionally making a fool of me?”

Fugaku Uchiha glared sternly at Sasuke.

How long had it been since the Land of Rain had a war? And now it was the era of the Ninja World Alliance. Where would a war come from?

Sasuke frowned tightly, not understanding why Fugaku Uchiha was reacting this way.

There were many rogue Ninja from the Land of Rain. His identity as a rogue Ninja should be perfectly reasonable, and given the Land of Rain’s long-term chaotic situation, his aversion to conflict also shouldn’t be a big problem.

Which part had gone wrong?

“Lock him up. We’ll interrogate him again tomorrow.”

Fugaku Uchiha decided to starve Sasuke first, to make him suffer a bit.

Looking at Fugaku Uchiha’s cold expression, Sasuke felt a subtle emotion.

He had never seen Fugaku Uchiha look like this. While his father was usually strict, he had never shown such an expression.

…

“Mr. Sasuke, why are you still locked up?”

Boruto, who had finally found Sasuke, couldn’t help but complain.

He had thought Sasuke was a very reliable teacher, but he didn’t expect him to be quietly arrested and thrown into prison.
