Chapter 60: Sasuke Figured It Out Again! Izumi’s Mangekyō Ability

Hearing this, Naruto immediately frowned.

He hadn’t expected that after eliminating all the ANBU, he had still overlooked Uchiha Sasuke.

He had been a little careless!

"I stayed at home the entire night. I never went outside.

"Sasuke, did you hear wrong or mistake my voice for someone else’s?"

Uchiha Izumi naturally denied it outright.

"Is there some hidden reason behind all this? Why can’t you tell me?"

Sasuke continued staring intently at Uchiha Izumi.

At this point, Naruto spoke:

"If you think there’s something being hidden, why don’t you ask the Third Hokage?"

Sasuke shook his head.

Deep down, he didn’t trust the Third Hokage at all.

In fact, he was suspicious of him!

The powerful Uchiha clan had been wiped out just like that.

And only now could he learn the identity of the culprit from the Hokage?

Could that really be possible?

Naruto’s thoughts stirred, but he continued:

"You already asked him, didn’t you?

"If so, why do you think there’s something being hidden?"

Sasuke glanced at Uchiha Izumi.

Without Uchiha Izumi, everything made sense.

He wouldn’t have had any doubts.

But she had appeared that night.

She had survived.

And yet she denied ever being there.

That simply didn’t make sense.

Once suspicion took root, Sasuke began overthinking everything.

He even started wondering whether the Hokage had deliberately concealed Uchiha Izumi’s appearance.

He had also wondered whether Uchiha Izumi was working together with the Hokage.

But then he remembered that her mother had also died.

She was a victim too!

Sasuke realized that perhaps Uchiha Izumi was hiding the truth from the Hokage instead.

Her mother had been killed, yet she was concealing even the fact that she had been there.

She clearly knew who the culprit was, yet she pretended not to know anything...

If there was something wrong here, then the problem had to lie with the Hokage!

Of course, Sasuke had also considered whether he might have simply heard the wrong voice.

But he immediately dismissed the thought.

If he denied his own memory, then he would have no other way to uncover the truth.

Deep down, Sasuke still held onto hope for Uchiha Itachi.

As long as there was some hidden reason behind that night’s events, he wouldn’t have to accept the unbearable truth that the older brother who had loved him most had massacred the entire clan.

In this regard, Sasuke’s way of thinking was somewhat peculiar.

At this moment, Naruto continued:

"There is no mistake that Uchiha Itachi is the culprit, right?"

The moment he heard that name, Sasuke’s face twisted with hatred, and his fists instinctively clenched tightly!

Naruto paid no attention to Sasuke’s emotions and continued:

"Since the culprit is definitely Uchiha Itachi, does it really matter whether there’s some hidden reason?"

"Why doesn’t it matter?!

"As long as I know the truth, I..."

Sasuke suddenly froze.

What would knowing the truth accomplish?

Could his parents come back to life?

Would the culprit no longer be his brother?

He seemed to find an excuse and immediately spoke through gritted teeth:

"Then I’ll know who the Uchiha clan’s true enemy is!

"I’ll avenge the Uchiha clan!"

Hearing this, Naruto teased him:

"And then you can forgive your brother for personally killing your clansmen and parents?

"As long as there’s some hidden reason, killing your parents doesn’t matter?"

A direct hit!

It was as though Naruto had pierced straight through the deepest part of Sasuke’s heart.

Sasuke shouted:

"No!

"I won’t!

"I’ll definitely kill him with my own hands!"

Naruto smiled and shook his head.

Then he continued teasing him:

"You think you’re ready again?"

Hearing those familiar words, Sasuke suddenly felt his face begin to ache.

His anger instantly exploded!

But then he thought of something, and he froze again.

His expression gradually darkened.

That’s right.

He couldn’t even defeat Naruto.

What right did he have to make such bold claims?

The Sasuke of this world was vastly different from the Sasuke of the original story.

He had always been suppressed by Naruto.

Because Sasuke regarded Naruto as his greatest rival, he subconsciously kept analyzing him.

Why was Naruto stronger than him?

Why couldn’t he defeat Naruto?

The more he thought about it, the more attention he paid to Naruto.

Naruto was always spacing out during class.

Was he secretly refining chakra?

Did every sentence Naruto said contain some deeper meaning?

Naruto was even constantly hanging around Ino and Hinata.

Sasuke had wondered whether spending time with them somehow helped improve his strength!

And now, simply because of one teasing remark from Naruto, Sasuke interpreted it as Naruto hinting that he was too weak!

Of course, if he insisted on interpreting it that way...

He wasn’t entirely wrong!

At the same time, another thought occurred to Sasuke.

Could the reason Naruto refused to tell him the truth be because he was too weak?

Could it be that as long as he defeated Naruto, Naruto would tell him the hidden truth behind the Uchiha massacre?

As for whether Naruto actually knew the truth behind the massacre, Sasuke never doubted it.

Why would Naruto interfere if he knew nothing?

On this point, Sasuke’s thinking was surprisingly simple.

He had gone straight to the answer.

Seeing Sasuke fall into another bout of wild speculation, Naruto shrugged and gestured toward Uchiha Izumi.

She’s your problem now.

Seeing this, Uchiha Izumi blinked.

She felt somewhat speechless but could only speak:

"Sasuke, you just woke up, and you’re tired too, aren’t you?

"I’ll take you home first.

"Get a good night’s rest, okay?"

"Hmph!"

Believing that he had already figured everything out, Sasuke snorted and stood up.

Then he looked at Naruto.

"I understand now!

"I’ll definitely defeat you!"

With that, he ran straight out the door.

Naruto and Uchiha Izumi exchanged a glance.

Their faces were full of question marks.

What exactly did he understand?

Uchiha Izumi then asked with some concern:

"Should we keep an eye on him?"

She knew Naruto still had plans in Konoha, so she was worried that Sasuke might say something he shouldn’t.

Naruto nodded.

He directly took Uchiha Izumi into the sealing space.

Minato had too much free time anyway.

It was time to give him something to do.

"Father, I’m counting on you."

"Don’t worry. I’ll keep an eye on Sasuke regularly."

Inside the crystal ball, Minato Namikaze had already switched the image to Sasuke.

Naruto stopped paying attention to Sasuke and turned toward Uchiha Izumi.

"By the way, what is your Mangekyō ability?"

That night, knowing that he was in the wrong, Naruto hadn’t taken the initiative to ask about Uchiha Izumi’s Mangekyō ability.

Hearing the question, Uchiha Izumi looked somewhat embarrassed.

She opened her mouth but seemed reluctant to say it.

Naruto didn’t pressure her.

Minato, however, was somewhat curious and turned his attention toward her.

Even Kurama behind them slightly raised his eyelids.

Uchiha Izumi hesitated for a while before quietly answering:

"Izanagi."

Naruto froze.

"Izanagi?"

His thoughts stirred.

"An ability that substitutes reality by consuming ocular power?"

"Mm."

Uchiha Izumi nodded, her cheeks turning slightly red.

Her Mangekyō ability, Izanagi, was extremely useful.

As long as she had enough ocular power, she could essentially never be killed.

But she had heard Naruto say that the Mangekyō Sharingan was the eye that reflected one’s heart.

After awakening the Mangekyō, its ocular abilities would truly reflect what the person desired most deep within their heart.

Her ability was simply too focused on survival!

Uchiha Izumi couldn’t believe that this was a true reflection of her personality.

She felt a little embarrassed about it.

That was why she had never taken the initiative to tell Naruto about her Mangekyō ability.

Naruto, however, didn’t mind at all.

He was even somewhat happy.

With this ability, he basically no longer needed to worry about Uchiha Izumi’s safety.

Then he thought of something and continued asking:

"What about your other ocular ability?

"Is it also Izanagi?"

"I can transfer Izanagi and seal it onto someone else."

When she mentioned this ability, Uchiha Izumi finally smiled.
