I said to Naruto, "Don't listen to his one-sided story. No one here knows what happened back then. He can make up whatever he wants!"

"Even if you don't believe it, this is the truth!" Mizuki became more and more excited as he spoke: "How ridiculous! The monster that attacked the village and killed the Fourth Hokage actually kept saying that he wanted to become the Hokage! Everyone is hoping that you will die quickly! No one will recognize you at all!!"

Finally I couldn't let him go on any longer: "Don't talk nonsense!"

I frowned and held Naruto's hand. He looked at me blankly with panic on his face: "Asaro...if I were a demon fox, would you still be willing..."

I didn't listen to the rest of what he said, I knew Naruto wasn't a demon fox so his hypothetical "if" didn't make sense.

"Naruto is not a demon fox, Naruto has parents!"

Shuimu said disdainfully: "You are just an orphan who came to Konoha later, what do you know?"

I shouted, “I just know it!”

But... I really shouldn't know.

How should I put it…?

"Because the living expenses that the Third Hokage gave to Naruto were his parents' inheritance! If Naruto didn't have parents, where would his living expenses come from!"

Sasuke: "..."

Naruto:"……"

Mizuki: "...That was just the Third Hokage's cover-up statement!"

"Then what makes you so sure that Naruto is a demon fox? Were you there when the Fourth Hokage sealed the demon fox? Did you see with your own eyes that the fox turned into a human? Naruto, Sasuke! Now is not the time to waver! After we capture him and hand him over to the Hokage, we can ask him ourselves!"

After I said this firmly, Sasuke's expression calmed down again. Naruto looked at me with a touched face, his blue eyes were wet: "Woo... Morning dew..."

Shuimu stared at me grimly and said, "If that's the case, I'll kill you first!"

Naruto:"!!!"

He rushed forward and tried to block me, so I had to hug his waist from behind and pull him into my arms to prevent him from blocking my view.

"You know..." I looked at Mizuki who was rushing towards me, "When fighting an Uchiha, you must never look them in the eyes."

Mizuki: “?!”

In his wide eyes, I saw the reflection of the three magatama in my own eyes.

His whole body suddenly went limp and he fell straight to the ground from mid-air.

I quickly jumped down and saw that his eyes were closed, but I still didn't let my guard down. I waved my hand and stabbed him with a kunai, but Mizuki didn't react at all.

"...Is he dead?"

Sasuke rushed over, he squatted down to check, hesitated for a moment: "He broke his neck and died on the spot."

For a moment, we were all silent.

I sighed: "In the end, I still used the Sharingan to kill the enemy..."

Hearing my reluctance, Sasuke snorted, obviously thinking I was showing off.

He can only open one magatama now, but my chakra is enough to open three magatama for a short period of time.

After confirming that Mizuki was dead, I quickly closed my Sharingan, but in just such a short moment, I already felt very tired.

Sasuke was very familiar with my state after opening my eyes. He walked to my side silently and let me lean on him.

At this moment, I finally realized what was happening: "I... killed someone...?"

However, when I lowered my eyes to look at Shuimu lying on the ground, it didn't feel real at all.

Apart from the fact that his neck was broken at an unusual angle which made people feel nauseous if they stared at it for too long, his expression as he fell into the illusion was peaceful, and at a glance, it looked like he had fallen asleep.

Naruto then said: "Asaro..."

"Ok?"

He looked dazed, as if too many things had happened today and he had received too much information and was overwhelmed. "You just said that when fighting against Uchiha, we can't look into each other's eyes... and your eyes... what did that mean?"

I thought about whether I should expose my Sharingan, when I should expose it, and to whom I should expose it.

What Orochimaru and Shikamaru meant was "Hide the existence of the Sharingan as much as possible, don't attract unnecessary attention, and be able to kill with one blow at the critical moment."

But the time and timing of opening their eyes is not something they or I can control.

Who could have imagined that he would open his eyes right in front of Uchiha Sasuke!

If I followed the original plan in the scroll and did not interfere with anything, would I have faced off against Mizuki?

If I wasn't facing a Chunin right now, would I use the Sharingan?

Obviously not.

It can be seen that Orochimaru and Shikamaru's plans are closely linked and very rigorous.

But I can no longer stop interfering in everything.

I can't watch Naruto in danger and do nothing, and I can't watch him suffer and do nothing.

This means that I will probably encounter more and more troubles in the future, which Orochimaru and Shikamaru originally planned for me to avoid.

I'll probably use the Sharingan again and again.

Because I can't be a medical ninja who hides behind everyone and survives as long as possible, I still prefer to be the main attacker who rushes forward to completely eliminate all threats.

So, if Team 7 is successfully formed, I will team up with Naruto. I don't think I can hide my Sharingan, so I might as well take this opportunity to confess to him.

"I have the Sharingan. My father might be from the Uchiha clan."

"what?!"

"Didn't I once spar with Sasuke and end up in the hospital due to chakra overdraft? It was during that battle that I opened my eyes. After Sasuke found out, he speculated that the reason I came to Konoha might be to recognize my relatives."

"!! So that means! You and Sasuke are relatives? No wonder Sasuke has suddenly become very attached to you since then!"

Sasuke: “?”

Naruto subconsciously felt happy for me and smiled in surprise, "That's great! Chaolu has her own family now! But why did Chaolu and Sasuke keep it a secret?"

"If she had revealed her identity and joined the Uchiha clan as soon as she arrived in Konoha," Sasuke pursed his lips, "she might have died at the hands of Uchiha Itachi that night, just like the rest of the clan."

"!!!"

"Itachi Uchiha is still alive. If he knew that there were still some Uchiha members who escaped, he might target Chaolu. So in order to ensure Chaolu's safety, we decided not to tell anyone until I kill that man."

"It's actually good to keep it secret," I said, "this way no one will guess that I have the Sharingan, and I can catch them by surprise and hit them with one strike."

Sasuke hummed, lowered his head to look at Mizuki's body, and whispered: "This is the importance of intelligence. However, when we become Genin and go out of the village to carry out missions, I don't know how long we can keep it secret. I must become stronger than that man before he notices...!"

Naruto immediately said seriously: "I will never tell anyone! When the time comes, I will be the one protecting Chaolu!"

Sasuke glanced at him and said, "Even if you learn multiple shadow clones, it won't be your turn."
