Chapter 499 Sasuke Reincarnation Uchiha
Chapter 499 Sasuke Returns to the Uchiha Clan
Early morning, in the eastern district of Xingzhidu, there is a residential area.
This area, located east of the Youhe River, is a region specifically allocated to larger, long-established ninja clans in the Star Kingdom's plan.
The Uchiha, Hyuga, Ibri, and Blood Pond clans each have their own clan territories here.
Unlike the bustling West Bund business district, the environment here is more tranquil, with better greenery, wider and cleaner streets, and lower building density. Most of the buildings are detached houses with courtyards, and occasionally some small public buildings with a distinct family style.
The new clan headquarters of the Uchiha clan is located not far from the Star Capital Ninja Academy.
Because it is newly built, the overall planning of the clan's land is full of modern features.
Along the straight road stand rows of two- or three-story buildings with a uniform style and simple lines. The exterior walls are mostly light gray or off-white, and the roofs are covered with dark tiles. Each household has a well-maintained small courtyard planted with flowers, grass, or low trees.
Only in the central area of the clan's territory are a few traditional houses with a distinct Uchiha style preserved, with black tiles, white walls, and upturned eaves, as if silently reminding people of the clan's long and heavy history.
As dawn broke, golden sunlight pierced through the thin mist, illuminating the damp streets and verdant leaves, where dewdrops sparkled with crystalline light.
The air was fresh and cool, carrying the fragrance of earth and plants.
Occasionally, early birds can be heard chirping crisply on the branches.
The entire clan territory was enveloped in a peaceful and serene atmosphere, as if it were completely isolated from the conflicts of the ninja world and the bloodshed of the past.
Kengo Uchiha's house is located on a relatively quiet street on the edge of the clan's territory.
He was standing at his own doorway, watching his son, Yuto, deftly stuff several practice shuriken and an unsharpened short kunai into the ninja tool pouch strapped to the outside of his thigh.
Yuto is ten years old this year. He has inherited the Uchiha clan's signature black hair and black eyes. His little face is serious, and he tries his best to imitate the image of a "ninja" in his mind.
"Dad, I'm off then!" Yuto packed his ninja tool bag, looked up at Kengo with a smile that was both expectant and excited, and his voice was clear and crisp.
After saying that, he turned around and started to jog towards the direction of the Ninja Academy.
"Wait, Yuto!" Kengo called out to him quickly, a helpless yet doting smile on his face. He turned around, picked up a flat lunchbox carefully wrapped in a blue square cloth from the shoe cabinet behind the door, and hurried a few steps to catch up with his son.
"You forgot your lunch again! How many times have I told you to check!"
"Ah! I really forgot!" Yuto stopped, stuck out his tongue sheepishly, and took the lunchbox from his father.
The lunchbox was still slightly warm, and inside were the braised pork and tamagoyaki that he had been craving last night.
"Be careful on the road, and come back early after school." Kengo ruffled his son's soft black hair, watching his small figure as he ran briskly towards the ninja academy, clutching his lunchbox.
Looking at his son's increasingly sensible and energetic back, Kengo Uchiha felt a surge of relief and boundless hope.
That bloody night six years ago feels like a nightmare from which I will never wake up.
He lost his gentle wife and his elderly, kind parents forever. He was also severely injured by the Konoha ninja and was on the verge of death.
It was Lord Shisui and Lord Shura who, like divine soldiers descending from the heavens, rescued the surviving members of their clan from the brink of death, including Youdou, who was only four years old at the time.
Holding his young son, he and the other clansmen followed Lord Shisui, fighting their way out of Konoha, overcoming numerous obstacles, and arriving in the Land of Stars.
One person, acting as both father and mother, relied on the support of the clan and his own desperate attempts to take on missions to raise You Dou to this age.
Watching my son grow up healthy every day, knowing he'll graduate from the Ninja Academy in a few years and become a true ninja, carrying on the Uchiha family tradition—
This was the only motivation that kept him going through countless painful nights.
If only his wife were still alive, she could see Yuuto like this now.
This thought, like a fine needle, gently pricked his already numb heart.
He took a deep breath of the cool morning air, suppressing the melancholy in his heart. He nodded to his neighbor, Uchiha Shu, who had also just seen his child off and was stretching at the door, and greeted him: "Good morning, Shu."
"Good morning, Kengo. Yuto looks pretty good today." Uchiha Shu replied with a smile. He was a man in his early thirties with a shallow scar on his face, left from the night of the massacre of his clan.
"Yeah, he said there's a shuriken throwing test at the Ninja Academy today, and he's been practicing for a long time." Kengo said, turning around to go back inside to change into his police uniform and start his new day's work.
In the Land of Stars, many adult Uchiha ninjas have chosen to join the police force, which seems to be a kind of destiny. However, the police force here is completely different from the one in Konoha that was full of suspicion and isolation.
On this peaceful and serene morning, everyone thought that today would be just another ordinary day, one of countless peaceful days in the Uchiha clan's territory.
"oops!"
Pfft!
A short, startled cry, followed by a thud as someone fell to the ground, suddenly came from the front of the street, breaking the morning's tranquility.
Kengo and Uchiha Shu were both startled and looked in the direction of the sound.
Just ahead on the street, You Dou, who had just run out, bumped headfirst into a boy, whether because he wasn't watching where he was going or because he was running too fast!
His small body was bounced back, and he fell hard onto the cold cement floor. The lunchbox in his arms fell to the side, and several shurikens slipped out of his loosely closed ninja tool bag, clattering and rolling on the ground.
Yudou sat on the ground, seemingly dazed from the fall. He stared blankly at the person he had bumped into.
He was a boy who looked quite young, about twelve or thirteen years old, with a slender but upright figure.
He was wearing a close-fitting black turtleneck short-sleeved shirt and matching shorts, with a ninja sword slung across his back with its hilt wrapped in cloth strips.
What's most striking is his short, jet-black hair and his deep eyes that are now lowered as he looks down at You Dou.
The boy's face was expressionless, but the aloofness and coldness that naturally flowed between his brows, as well as a sense of pride and detachment that seemed to be innate, made You Dou, who had fallen to the ground, feel a sudden pang of fear and pressure.
Yuuto felt a little intimidated by the other person's gaze, instinctively shrinking his neck and apologizing softly, "I-I'm sorry—"
"Big brother—I wasn't watching where I was going—"
His voice trembled slightly with fright.
"Yuto!! Get away from him! Quickly!!!"
However, before Yuto could finish his apology, a heart-wrenching, furious roar, like a thunderclap, rang out behind him!
Yuto had never heard his father make such a terrifying sound.
Youdou trembled with fright and turned his head in a daze.
Just moments before, the father had been standing at the door with a gentle smile on his face, but now his face was deathly pale, his eyes were bloodshot, and his Sharingan with two tomoe had been activated.
In an instant, his entire demeanor transformed from that of a gentle father into that of an enraged beast!
Swish!
A dark shadow flashed by!
You Dou didn't even see his father's movements clearly. He only felt a blur before his eyes, and his father, who was originally dozens of meters away from him, suddenly appeared between him and the boy in black!
In his father's hand, a sharp kunai that gleamed with a cold light had appeared out of nowhere!
Without any hesitation, without any unnecessary words!
The moment Uchiha Kengo appeared, he twisted his waist and exerted force, the kunai in his hand whistling as it pierced the air, fiercely stabbing towards the throat of the black-clad youth!
This strike was filled with undisguised, pure killing intent!
Only a ninja who has experienced countless life-or-death battles and accumulated boundless hatred in their heart can unleash such a fatal blow.
Things happened too fast, too suddenly.
Yuto was completely terrified, sitting blankly on the ground, even forgetting to cry, just staring wide-eyed at his father's murderous back and the cold kunai stabbing at the strange older brother.
However, the black-clad youth who was bumped into by You Dou showed no sign of panic in the face of this sudden attack.
He didn't even back down; just a moment before the kunai was about to pierce his throat, he slightly raised his right hand.
Clang—!
A crisp, short sound of metal clashing rang out!
With a flick of his right wrist, the boy raised the hilt of the ninja sword behind him, precisely blocking the kunai that Uchiha Kengo was thrusting with all his might!
Sparks flew between the hilt of the sword and the kunai!
The immense force came from the point of impact, but the boy's arm only sank slightly, his body remained as steady as a rock, and his feet did not even move an inch.
He raised his eyes and calmly met Uchiha Kengo's Sharingan, which burned with raging rage and deep-seated hatred.
A brief stalemate.
Kengo Uchiha stared intently at the face so close to his.
His teeth were grinding together, his hand gripping the kunai trembled slightly, and through gritted teeth he uttered, word by word, "You...you...bastard—how...did you get here?!"
His voice was hoarse, like sandpaper being rubbed, and every word was soaked with blood and hatred.
"Uchiha—Sasuke!"
'
'
A brief silence fell, as if even the birdsong and the sound of the wind at dawn had vanished.
Sitting on the ground, Yuto looked blankly at his father, then at the black-clad boy called "Uchiha Sasuke".
Sasuke?
This name... I feel like I've heard it somewhere before?
Is he the eldest brother in the clan?
Why does Dad hate him so much?
Sasuke looked at Kengo Uchiha, whose face was contorted with extreme anger and hatred. This was the kind Uncle Kengo who used to pat Sasuke on the head and praise his shuriken throwing skills back in the clan compound.
"Uncle Kengo, it's been a long time." Sasuke's voice was calm, a stark contrast to Kengo's anger.
His gaze passed over Kengo's shoulder and landed on Yuto, who was still sitting on the ground, his face pale with fright.
"Yuto's grown up so much," Sasuke's gaze lingered on Yuto for a moment.
"In a few years, I'll graduate from the Ninja Academy and become a ninja."
This was originally just a common sentiment.
But at this moment, in this place, in this scene, it sounded rather jarring to Kengo and the clansmen who were gradually gathering around him.
"Shut up!" Kengo roared again like a tiger whose tail had been stepped on. He tightened his grip on the kunai in his hand due to anger, pressing it firmly against Sasuke's sword hilt, making a teeth-grinding scraping sound.
The Uchiha clan members around them were also completely ignited by Sasuke's words!
"You bastard! How dare you bear the surname Uchiha?!"
"Today we will avenge our fallen people!!"
"Kill the executioner's brother!"
Several of the most impulsive young Uchiha ninjas, who had lost the most loved ones, suddenly had a crimson light flash in their eyes!
Double tomoe, even triple tomoe, slowly rotated in their eyes!
They roared and drew their kunai and ninja swords from their waists, their figures turning into afterimages, carrying boundless hatred and killing intent, as they pounced on Sasuke in the middle of the street from different directions!
Faced with the combined attack of several Uchiha ninjas who had activated their Sharingan and were attacking in anger, Sasuke's expression finally showed a slight change.
His black eyes turned crimson in an instant!
Three jet-black magatama appeared clearly in his pupils and began to slowly rotate!
"Sharingan? He actually has it too—"
"Three tomoe? How is that possible!"
"I remember he was only twelve years old, right?!"
Among the surrounding Uchiha clansmen, some cried out in shock and anger.
They never expected that this "executioner's younger brother" would not only have awakened the Sharingan, but also possess three tomoe at the young age of twelve!
This talent—
The first to rush to Sasuke's left was a tall, thin man with his three tomoe activated, wielding a ninja sword. He was none other than Uchiha Shu, the neighbor who had greeted Kengo earlier!
The scar on his face looked particularly ferocious in his anger. His three-tomoe Sharingan tried to predict Sasuke's movements, and the ninja sword in his hand whistled as it slashed straight at Sasuke's neck!
Almost simultaneously, from the right and the rear, two other Uchiha clansmen who had activated their double tomoe also threw out poisoned senbon needles and kunai at tricky angles, sealing off Sasuke's space to dodge.
From the front, Kengo Uchiha's kunai was still firmly pressed against the hilt of Sasuke's sword.
Faced with this deadly attack from four directions, coordinated perfectly, Sasuke's Sharingan with its three tomoe suddenly accelerated!
His Sharingan instantly captured the most subtle flaws and trajectories in everyone's movements.
First, there were the two Uchiha clan members who threw out senbon needles and kunai.
The moment their gazes met Sasuke's three-tomoe sword.
Genjutsu: Sharingan!
The rotation of the three tomoe in Sasuke's eyes seemed to generate some kind of strange suction force.
The two tribesmen felt a "buzz" in their brains, and the world before their eyes spun instantly, as if they were being dragged into an endless blood-red abyss. They instantly lost control of their bodies, and their forward momentum came to an abrupt halt. Like puppets with broken strings, they collapsed to the ground with two "thumps" and lost consciousness.
The simplest Sharingan genjutsu is surprisingly effective when there is a level advantage and the opponent is mentally agitated.
The moment the long-range harassment was dealt with, Uchiha Shu's ninja sword was already less than a foot away from Sasuke's neck!
The blade reflected the morning sunlight, its chill penetrating to the bone.
Sasuke finally moved.
His body shifted to the right by a very slight movement, taking half a step.
It was this half-step that allowed Uchiha Shu's seemingly inevitable strike to graz his left shoulder.
At the same time, Sasuke suddenly pressed down and twisted his right wrist, which he had been using to block Kengo's kunai!
clang!
An even louder impact!
Kengo felt a spinning force coming from the kunai, and his hand went numb. The kunai was actually skillfully deflected by the hilt of the sword!
Sasuke's left hand struck out the instant his body shifted to the side, so fast that it left only a blur, precisely grabbing Uchiha Shu's wrist, which had been slightly tilted forward due to his missed strike, revealing an opening!
"What?!" Uchiha Shu was shocked. He tried to draw his sword and retreat, but felt as if his wrist was being clamped by an iron clamp, unable to move!
Sasuke grabbed his wrist with his left hand and pulled him towards himself, while simultaneously kicking out with his right leg, his knee striking Uchiha Shu squarely in the abdomen!
"Hmm!"
Uchiha Shu grunted, his body staggering backward as he was kicked, the ninja sword in his hand flying out of his grasp and landing with a clatter a few meters away on the ground.
Almost at the same time as kicking Uchiha Xiu away, Sasuke used the reaction force of the pull and kick to slide his body backward like a light swift, just avoiding Uchiha Kengo's second blow that was aimed at his waist and abdomen as the kunai was deflected.
He then kicked out with his right foot, striking Uchiha Kengo's arm with such force that Kengo slid backward nearly two meters before coming to a stop.
The whole process happened in the blink of an eye.
From the moment the group suddenly attacked, to the moment the two fell to the ground under the influence of genjutsu, to the moment Uchiha Shu was kicked away and lost his sword, to Sasuke calmly dodging Uchiha Kengo's attack and then kicking back, it all happened in just two or three breaths.
The street fell silent instantly.
All that remained were Uchiha Kengo's heavy breathing and the unconscious groans of the clansmen who had been knocked down by the genjutsu.
The other Uchiha clan members who had gathered around but hadn't yet made a move stared in disbelief at the black-clad boy standing calmly in the middle of the street, his breathing not even faltering.
Awakening his three-tomoe Sharingan at the age of twelve, he effortlessly dodged all attacks, casually felled three Uchiha ninjas, and kicked away the Jonin Uchiha Shu.
Sasuke Uchiha, who only entered the Ninja Academy six years ago, is now only twelve years old, yet his strength has already reached this level.
This is beyond genius!
His fighting spirit, his grasp of timing, and his ruthless precision were simply—
She looks exactly like that man!
Sasuke's display of strength shocked the remaining Uchiha clan members, and fueled their hatred and anger even more fiercely!
They're birds of a feather!
It's the executioner's brother!
They also possess the same terrifying talent and ruthless killing intent!
"Everyone attack together! No matter how strong he is, he's only one person!"
"To avenge our deceased loved ones!"
"We must not let him leave the tribe's territory alive!"
More Uchiha clan members turned red-eyed, activating their Sharingan and drawing their weapons, though most only had single or double tomoe.
But the atmosphere was tense, and the murderous intent was like a thick fog, enveloping the entire street and quickly spreading to more distant areas.
More and more Uchiha clansmen were alerted and gathered in this direction.
Just when the situation was about to spiral out of control and escalate into a bloody siege and lynching.
"All of you! Scatter!"
A clear, melodious, and authoritative female voice pierced through the heavy killing intent and clamor permeating the street, reaching the ears of everyone present.
Everyone, including Kengo Uchiha who was staring intently at Sasuke with his kunai in hand, and Shu Uchiha who had just gotten up from the ground with a face full of resentment, all involuntarily turned their heads to look deeper into the clan's territory.
In the middle of the street, a figure had been standing quietly for some time now.
She was a woman who looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old.
She had long, smooth, brown hair that swayed gently in the morning breeze.
She wore a form-fitting clan robe with a dark purple base and embroidered with the Uchiha Flame fan pattern, which accentuated her tall and graceful figure.
Her face was extremely delicate and beautiful, with the aloof temperament unique to the Uchiha clan. The most striking feature was the brown beauty mark under her right eye, which resembled a teardrop and added a touch of melancholy to her cool temperament.
However, at this moment, what is most captivating is her eyes.
Those dark brown eyes were gradually turning scarlet!
Within his pupils, three tomoe slowly rotated and connected, forming a windmill-like pattern, with even finer black lines flowing along the edges.
Kaleidoscope Sharingan!
It's Uchiha Izumi!
She stood there quietly, her arms crossed over her chest, her kaleidoscope-like eyes scanning every emotionally charged member of her tribe on the street.
Finally, her eyes settled on Uchiha Sasuke, who was surrounded by the crowd in the center.
Even those filled with hatred, like Kengo Uchiha, felt an invisible pressure as they were stared at by those Mangekyou Sharingan, instantly cooling down considerably.
Kengo gritted his teeth, looked at Izumi, and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Lord Izumi! He is—"
"Of course I know." Izumi's cool voice interrupted Kengo.
Her gaze never left Sasuke's face, and for a fleeting moment, her cold scrutiny flickered.
It looks so much like a weasel.
"That man's younger brother."
She said slowly, "Sasuke, it's been a long time."
Sasuke was also sizing up Uchiha Izumi.
The floodgates of memory were opened.
He remembered that when he was a child, this beautiful older sister often came to see Itachi, sometimes bringing him homemade snacks, and sometimes inviting Itachi to train together.
At that time, he didn't understand. He just felt that his older sister would take away his older brother's attention, so sometimes he would deliberately cause trouble.
Looking back now, the way Izumi looked at Itachi, that tenderness and admiration, as if the light emanating from him alone in the whole world, was actually love.
That bastard, does he know?
When he chose to raise the butcher's knife and kill his parents and his clan, did he—even for a moment—think of the girl who loved him so deeply?
Sasuke didn't know.
Looking at Uchiha Izumi's beautiful Mangekyou Sharingan, he immediately understood.
Those eyes, perhaps, were opened that night.
Because of loss, because of extreme hatred and love?
He suppressed his thoughts, met Uchiha Izumi's gaze, and said, "I'm here to see Shisui."
Uchiha Izumi slightly raised her beautifully shaped chin, and a strand of brown hair slid past the beauty mark next to her right eye as she moved.
She didn't answer immediately, but instead used her Mangekyou Sharingan to scrutinize Sasuke as if she wanted to see right through him.
A few seconds later, she said in that cool tone, "The clan leader is indeed waiting for you."
She paused, her gaze sweeping over the ninja sword Sasuke carried on his back, her tone leaving no room for argument: "However, before that—"
"Put down your weapons."
Before she finished speaking, the windmill pattern in the pupils of Uchiha Izumi's scarlet Mangekyou Sharingan suddenly spun half a circle faster!
Sasuke felt as if something extremely tiny flickered before his eyes, but even his three-tomoe Sharingan couldn't detect it!
Immediately afterwards, his right hand, which was holding the knife, suddenly went empty!
「!?」
'
Sasuke was terrified and looked down sharply at his right hand.
His hands were empty.
The ninja sword that was just used to parry Kengo's kunai has now vanished without a trace!
He suddenly looked up at Uchiha Izumi in front of him.
Uchiha Izumi's hands, which had been crossed in front of her chest, had somehow been lowered.
Her right hand was casually toying with the ninja sword that originally belonged to Sasuke!
The entire process was silent and without any sign of chakra fluctuations or obvious movements.
It was like that knife, which she had held in her hand from the very beginning.
"!!" Sasuke's pupils contracted sharply, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.
He stared intently at Uchiha Izumi's Mangekyou Sharingan, a storm raging within him.
What kind of ability is this?!
A kind of pupil technique involving concepts of time and space?
Even with his Sharingan fully activated and on high alert, he was utterly powerless to resist, and without even noticing any warning, his weapon was snatched from his hand!
Is this the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan?
This is her awakened exclusive eye technique?!
Sasuke's heart pounded violently, not only from shock but also from an uncontrollable, burning desire for this power.
As expected, this is something that even Kakashi couldn't teach me in Konoha!
Sasuke gripped his empty right hand tightly, his knuckles turning white.
"This is your... Kaleidoscope Eye Technique?"
Uchiha Izumi did not answer, nor did she bother to explain.
"Keep up."
She showed no interest in Sasuke's shock or questions, simply holding Sasuke's ninja sword in one hand, then indifferently turned and walked towards the depths of the clan's territory.
He left Sasuke and the others with only a tall, aloof, and lonely figure.
Sasuke took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and completely ignored the Uchiha clansmen around him who were still staring at him with hateful eyes.
He took a step forward, following the brown-haired woman ahead under countless piercing gazes.
Seeing that Lord Izumi had personally intervened and taken Sasuke away, the Uchiha clan members gathered in the streets, though still filled with resentment, dared not step forward to stop or attack him.
They exchanged glances, their expressions complex and difficult to decipher.
Finally, someone took the lead, and the crowd began to move slowly, silently following behind Uchiha Izumi and Sasuke, converging towards the center of the clan compound, towards the clan leader's residence.
