Chapter 105 Forgery
After entering the room, Itachi Uchiha's gaze lingered briefly on Boruto before slowly shifting to Orochimaru.
Uchiha Itachi sarcastically said to Orochimaru, "Orochimaru, I didn't expect that even after so long since you left the organization, your thinking is still so naive. Aren't you afraid that this person's memories were deliberately fabricated by someone else?"
As Itachi Uchiha finished speaking, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became subtle, letting everyone present know that Itachi Uchiha had been there for a long time and had basically overheard everything they were talking about.
Orochimaru responded to Itachi Uchiha's skepticism with a sneer, retorting, "That's a misconception. I don't think there's any idiot in the world who would waste their energy building someone else's dream over several decades. You know, building such a long and detailed memory is no easy task."
Uchiha Itachi: ......
Although Boruto has limited knowledge of Itachi Uchiha and Orochimaru's past, he can still clearly sense the subtle hostility between the two.
Orochimaru continued, "It seems you didn't come here because the organization is after me. So, is your target Boruto or... Sasuke?"
Itachi Uchiha responded calmly, "Don't misunderstand. He and I are both from the Uchiha clan. Before he has enough strength to become my 'part', I will not allow anyone to destroy him."
Itachi Uchiha guided Sasuke to live according to his predetermined plan, making Sasuke stronger under the drive of the hatred he created. When Sasuke killed him, who was a rogue ninja, he would become a hero of Konoha.
However, nothing is ever absolutely predictable. Orochimaru's intervention completely disrupted Itachi Uchiha's plans.
Boruto frowned slightly and turned to Itachi Uchiha, asking, "What do you mean by saying Sasuke is your 'accessory'?"
Uchiha Itachi said coldly, "Sasuke is my spare eye, a tool to enhance my eye power, which is why I've allowed him to live until now."
"You... you treat him like a tool?" Boruto simply couldn't understand Itachi's ruthlessness.
Boruto never imagined that enhancing the power of the Sharingan would not only require enduring profound pain, but also the tragedy of fratricide.
Itachi Uchiha's face remained expressionless as he calmly replied, "In this cruel and ruthless world, everyone has their own role and mission. Sasuke's mission is to become my 'accessory' and help me achieve my goal."
Itachi Uchiha showed no emotional fluctuation whatsoever, as if he were simply stating a given fact.
Upon hearing Itachi Uchiha's cold words, Orochimaru's lips curled into a mocking smile. He chuckled contemptuously, "Heh heh heh, how ruthless. No wonder he once slaughtered the Uchiha clan."
Orochimaru's eyes gleamed with cunning as he looked at Itachi Uchiha and said sarcastically, "However... Itachi Uchiha, your plan will ultimately fail. Rather, you will become Sasuke's 'accessory,' a sacrifice for Sasuke to increase his power."
Uchiha Itachi's usually calm and composed expression finally changed after hearing Orochimaru's words.
Itachi Uchiha raised an eyebrow and asked Orochimaru, "Oh? What do you mean by that?"
Orochimaru's words clearly piqued Itachi's interest, and he wanted to know why Orochimaru was so confident in asserting that his plan would fail.
Orochimaru's lips curled into a wicked smile as he continued, "Because Sasuke's eyes are still intact in the future, and they are the legendary Rinnegan, known as the 'eye that controls life and death'."
As Orochimaru spoke, his body began to tremble slightly involuntarily. He had not expected Sasuke to possess such enormous potential, which far exceeded his expectations.
A hint of surprise flashed across Itachi's face; he clearly hadn't expected Sasuke to be able to awaken the legendary Rinnegan, which surpassed even the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.
As far as Itachi Uchiha knew, the eyes of Pain, the leader of the Akatsuki organization, were the legendary Rinnegan, and Itachi naturally knew its power.
Boruto's face darkened. He hadn't expected Orochimaru to reveal such important information to Itachi Uchiha.
Now, not only is Orochimaru wary of Sasuke, but Itachi Uchiha has also learned of his defeat, which undoubtedly adds many variables to Sasuke's future.
Orochimaru, somewhat carried away by his excitement, asked, "Itachi Uchiha, who do you think will get Sasuke Uchiha's body first?"
Uchiha Itachi's gaze sharpened slightly as he looked at Orochimaru and said coldly, "Orochimaru, you still think about competing with me for Sasuke and making Sasuke a vessel for your body."
At that moment, Itachi Uchiha's Sharingan suddenly began to spin, and he activated the Illusionary Shackles Technique.
With his will, Orochimaru's consciousness was forcibly pulled into a genjutsu space created by the Sharingan.
Within this space, Itachi Uchiha used the power of genjutsu to summon giant iron nails, which mercilessly pierced Orochimaru's body, firmly fixing him in place and rendering him unable to move.
When Kabuto saw Orochimaru suddenly freeze, he immediately realized that Orochimaru had fallen into the Sharingan's genjutsu.
Kabuto's heart tightened, and he hurriedly shouted, "Lord Orochimaru!"
Suddenly, a scalpel formed from chakra appeared in Kabuto's hand. Without hesitation, he rushed toward Itachi Uchiha, wanting to rescue Orochimaru, who was trapped in a genjutsu.
However, Itachi Uchiha was faster; he raised his hand and knocked the chakra scalpel out of Kabuto Yakushi's hand.
Immediately afterwards, Itachi Uchiha punched Kabuto Yakushi in the abdomen, causing Kabuto to lose his balance and bend over in pain.
Fortunately, Orochimaru had recovered from Itachi Uchiha's genjutsu, and sweat was already dripping from his forehead.
Orochimaru was panting, a hint of dishevelment in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it. He knew his disadvantage against Itachi Uchiha, but his ambition and thirst for power prevented him from giving up easily.
Orochimaru witnessed Sasuke's awe-inspiring power in Boruto's memories, which made him realize that Sasuke was the perfect vessel he had been dreaming of, and that he would be his future!
Orochimaru's original plan was to wait for Sasuke's arrival and then use Sasuke as a vessel for his immortality rebirth, but Itachi Uchiha suddenly interfered, causing his plan to fall through.
Orochimaru said weakly, "Three years! I will not use Sasuke as a vessel for reincarnation during these three years."
"Uchiha Itachi, let's make a bet. If Sasuke can't defeat me in three years, then he will become the vessel for my reincarnation."
Orochimaru sneered contemptuously deep inside. He knew that his immortality technique had a fatal limitation: it could only be used once every three years.
It's not hard to guess from Boruto's memories that during the three-year gap, Sasuke, through relentless training, raised his mental strength to a level that was enough to threaten Orochimaru himself.
Therefore, when Orochimaru attempted to use the Reanimation Jutsu again, Sasuke's mental strength was already powerful enough to backfire on Orochimaru's soul and prevent Orochimaru's reanimation plan.
This time, he already knew the outcome beforehand, so all he had to do was ensure that his mental strength remained above Sasuke's for three years from now.
Upon hearing Orochimaru's words, Itachi Uchiha frowned slightly and began to ponder. The organization had already begun issuing a mission to gather all the tailed beasts, including the Nine-Tails, within the next few years. As for Orochimaru, it wouldn't be too late to deal with him three years later.
......
Just then, a loud sound reached everyone's ears from not far away. The sound grew closer and closer, and Orochimaru's ears twitched slightly. He immediately recognized it as the sound of ten thousand snakes crawling.
In Otogakure, Sasuke looked exhausted as he helped the equally wounded Kimimaro sit together on Manda's massive body.
In the final battle against Naruto at the Valley of the End, Sasuke used the power of the cursed seal on his body to achieve victory with a slight advantage, successfully escaping Naruto's pursuit and ending this fateful duel.
Manda let out a cold snort, turning his gaze to Kimimaro and threateningly saying, "Hmph! Kid, tell Orochimaru not to forget that he still owes me a lot of living sacrifices, or I'll devour him."
Manda wanted to use Kimimaro to warn Orochimaru that their deal was not yet complete, and that he would not tolerate any unfulfilled debts.
Then, the body of the giant snake began to twist and deform, turning into a wisp of smoke that gradually dissipated into the air until it disappeared completely.
Sasuke frowned at this. For a summoning beast to be so arrogant, Orochimaru was making a fool of himself.
Sasuke thought to himself that if it were him, he would definitely teach Manda a lesson, curb its arrogance, and make it understand its place.
......
After waiting for a while, two light footsteps finally came from outside the room, and Sasuke, led by Kimimaro, slowly walked into the room where Boruto and the others were.
Sasuke helped Kimimaro inside, but he was surprised to see Boruto as soon as he entered. For a moment, Sasuke even wondered if Kimimaro had led him to the wrong place.
Sasuke looked at Boruto and said, "Boruto, are you here to stop me too? Give up, I won't change my mind until I kill that man with my own hands!"
Boruto waved his hand and said, "Originally, I wanted to bring you back to Konoha, but I was captured by Orochimaru himself."
"What?" Sasuke was somewhat surprised after hearing this.
I never expected that Orochimaru's main target this time wasn't me, but Boruto. Even Itachi Uchiha's target was Naruto. Am I really that unimportant?
At this moment, Sasuke noticed something was amiss. He saw Kabuto Yakushi standing in front of Orochimaru, adopting a wary stance.
Sasuke's gaze followed Kabuto's warning direction and finally landed on a corner where Itachi Uchiha was standing.
The moment Sasuke saw Itachi Uchiha, his emotions erupted like a volcano, his body trembled uncontrollably, and his voice was filled with rage: "Uchiha... Itachi!"
Sasuke's attention was previously focused on Boruto, and he did not notice Itachi Uchiha silently sitting in the corner.
Sasuke's anger burned within him. He quickly released Kimimaro's hand and, driven by his emotions, charged straight at Itachi Uchiha, throwing a punch aimed directly at Itachi's face.
When faced with Sasuke's attack, Itachi Uchiha casually reached out and caught Sasuke's furious punch, then kicked out and sent Sasuke flying.
Uchiha Itachi looked at Sasuke, who was struggling to get up from the ground, and said calmly, "Sasuke, you still don't learn your lesson. It seems that I haven't hurt you enough."
Hearing Itachi's mockery, Sasuke gritted his teeth, then clasped his hands together and entered the state of Cursed Seal One.
As the curse mark was activated, the curse mark on his skin began to wriggle, and soon his whole body was covered with black markings.
The first form of the Cursed Seal significantly enhanced Sasuke's speed and strength. His body became more agile, his power was greatly increased, and he exuded a sinister aura.
After his fierce battle with Naruto at the Valley of the End not long ago, Sasuke had reached a point where he could barely activate the Cursed Seal 2.
In order to deal with Itachi Uchiha in front of him, he did not hesitate to overdraw his exhausted body and forcibly activated the second form of the Cursed Seal.
With the activation of Cursed Seal 2, Sasuke grew a pair of hand-shaped "wings" from behind him, and a striking cross-shaped pattern appeared in the middle of his face.
Orochimaru's gaze lingered on Sasuke, and his eyes lit up. He hadn't expected that Sasuke would activate the second form of the Heavenly Curse Seal on his own without any guidance.
These changes not only made Sasuke's appearance more unusual, but also rapidly increased his chakra reserves and power, putting him into a completely new fighting state.
Boruto frowned as he watched Sasuke display the Cursed Seal 2 form, a strange feeling welling up inside him.
Sasuke's current appearance is vastly different from the person he once knew. He now looks more like a monster than a human.
With the power of the Cursed Seal 2, Sasuke charged towards Itachi Uchiha once again.
Although Sasuke's power has increased significantly, allowing him to barely exchange a few blows with Itachi Uchiha, his strength is still somewhat inferior to Itachi's.
Itachi Uchiha immediately seized an opening in Sasuke's defenses, grabbing Sasuke's "wings" from behind and snapping them hard.
"Ah!" Sasuke's scream echoed in the empty room. He immediately felt a heart-wrenching pain in his back. The intense pain made it almost impossible for him to stand up, and his broken wings drooped helplessly to the side.
