Naruto: Inheriting the Legacy of a Person Who Traveled Through Time

Chapter 76 Sending One'sself to His Death

Jiraiya and Kakashi both felt a little awkward when Sasuke appeared.

Although the Nanga Shrine is no longer officially associated with the Uchiha clan, there is still an awkward feeling of being caught red-handed breaking into someone else's house.

"Why are you here?"

Sasuke Uchiha appeared here because he witnessed the rapid progress of his two companions, which made him anxious about his own slow growth in strength. He recalled that the Naka Shrine was once the core location for the clan's secret decisions, and that there might be a way for him to become stronger quickly. So he followed his few childhood memories and found this place.

"Itachi Uchiha just returned, displaying strength beyond imagination—"

Seeing that Jiraiya and Kakashi remained silent, Tetsuya broke the silence in the basement, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Kakashi.

"Tetsuya!"

Knowing that Sasuke always considered himself an avenger, Kakashi was afraid that his beloved student would lose his mind upon hearing Itachi's name, so he quickly interrupted Tetsuya.

Upon hearing the man's name, Sasuke's expression instantly turned incredibly ferocious, revealing a look of someone ready to devour him.

How dare he go back to the village?

Where is he?

'

Seeing Sasuke's eyes, which were almost devoid of reason, Kakashi was about to say something to persuade him when Sasuke, having already anticipated that he wouldn't get an answer from them, turned to leave when he suddenly felt a tightness under his feet. A vine had somehow wrapped around Sasuke's legs.

"Let me go!"

Faced with Sasuke's angry glare, Tetsuya revealed a mocking smile.

"Even if you find Itachi Uchiha, what can you do with your current strength? Go and die? Even Kakashi-sensei could lose his life at any moment in front of Itachi. Do you want the name of the Uchiha clan to be completely eradicated?"

Kakashi, standing nearby, twitched at the corner of his mouth when he heard Tetsuya use himself as a unit of measurement, but he had to admit that what Tetsuya said was true.

"If I were you, I would definitely choose to get married and have children to continue the family bloodline first, and then it's not too late to talk about revenge."

In the past, Sasuke would have blushed when faced with such verbal teasing, since teenagers in the ninja world are all incredibly precocious. But now, Sasuke's mind was completely occupied by Itachi Uchiha, and he only wanted to catch up with Itachi before he went far away. Without thinking, he began to form hand seals.

Fire Release: Fire Style —

Before the hand seals were even finished, the vines that had been wrapped around Sasuke's legs sprang up like a long snake, growing two large wooden hands that strangled his throat before the ninjutsu could be completed. Sasuke's face turned red, he had difficulty breathing, and he was forced to stop performing the ninjutsu.

Whoosh!

Kakashi flashed to Sasuke's side, using the Body Flicker Technique, and slashed Sasuke across the back of the neck, causing Sasuke's eyes to roll back and fall unconscious.

In the dead of night, Sasuke, who was lying in bed, suddenly opened his eyes. After a few moments of confusion, he quickly remembered what had happened during the day and immediately jumped up.

Uchiha Itachi!

He actually dared to go back to the village! I'm going to kill him!

Sasuke, who burst out of the house with a burst of chakra, suddenly stopped, a look of bewilderment on his face.

Half a day has passed, and he still doesn't know which direction Itachi Uchiha left in. Where in the vast ninja world is he supposed to find any trace of him?

despair!

Just then, Sasuke turned his head slightly and caught a very faint sound.

someone.

Could it be Itachi Uchiha?

Just as Sasuke became wary, the sound of wind breaking rang out one after another. When Sasuke looked up in surprise, he saw four boys dressed the same, with purple rope belts around their waists, leaping high into the air and instantly surrounding him.

Such an outfit————

Since he hadn't been marked with a cursed seal, Sasuke didn't have a deep impression of Orochimaru. It took him a full two seconds to connect the attire of the four people in front of him with Orochimaru.

That Konoha rogue ninja who colluded with the Sand Village?

"Who are you people?"

Despite being surrounded, Sasuke remained calm and confirmed the other party's identity in a low voice.

"The Sound Four, Kidomaru."

The boy, wearing a Sound Village headband and looking at Sasuke with a mocking expression, spoke first.

"Near the West Gate."

Another boy then spoke up, with gray hair, gray-black lips, and most strangely, a head with an almost identical appearance hanging behind his neck, only with its eyes closed as if asleep.

"Jirobo at the South Gate."

The third boy, with his orange buzz cut and relatively robust build, spoke next.

"The North Gate is also called Duoyou."

A girl with long orange-red hair spoke last.

Although Orochimaru's hands were not taken away by the Reaper Death Seal, because the Reanimation Jutsu requires changing bodies every three years, the first thing Orochimaru did upon returning to Otogakure, still coveting the power of the Sharingan, was to send the Sound Four to infiltrate Konoha in an attempt to lure Sasuke into defecting.

The Sound Four were incredibly jealous of Orochimaru's choice of Sasuke as his reincarnation candidate. After announcing their names, the four of them suddenly unleashed chakra from beneath their feet and ran rapidly around Sasuke, so fast that Sasuke could hardly keep up.

Damn it, we're all the same age, so why are they all stronger than me, a member of the Uchiha clan?

Sasuke stared wide-eyed, trying to track the enemy's movements, his fists clenched tightly, and a cry of unwillingness emanated from his heart.

Whoosh!

A dark shadow flashed before his eyes, and Kidomaru threw a punch at Sasuke first. Behind him, another figure moved, and Sakon also rushed over with a sinister smile. The two Sound Ninja attacked from both sides at the same time.

Sasuke leaped into the air, raising his arm to block Kidomaru's punch. He immediately realized that the incoming force was not great, which gave him more confidence. Then, Sasuke jumped up and kicked backward with a Rabbit Kick, causing Sakon behind him to stagger back a few steps and crash heavily into a large tree.

Their strength is nothing special.

Sasuke's lips curled up slightly. He grabbed Jirobo's arm and swung him backward, using the fat body as a shield to block Kidomaru's attack. This caused the two to collide and fall to the ground in a sorry state.

When the smoke cleared, Sasuke's smile froze instantly. Four thick trees were piled up in the crater, and the Sound Four had vanished without a trace.

"With such weak strength, why did Lord Orochimaru choose him?"

Several feet behind Sasuke, the Sound Four stood in a row, looking at Sasuke with utter disdain.

"I'm in a bad mood right now. If you keep bothering me, don't blame me for not showing any mercy."

Sasuke turned around and looked at the four people behind him, his voice becoming extremely cold.

"Stop talking big and bring it on."

Upon hearing Kidomaru's provocation, Sasuke was about to rush over when he suddenly felt a pain in his chest. Kidomaru had appeared in front of him without him noticing and punched him into the air.

So fast!

Sasuke was beaten like a punching bag by the Sound Four, collapsing to the ground covered in wounds in less than a minute. "Why would Lord Orochimaru want such a piece of trash? He's nowhere near as good as Kimimaro."

Kidomaru grabbed Sasuke by one foot and lifted him upside down, looking completely bewildered.

"I don't understand either, why would Orochimaru send you here to your deaths?"

Just then, Tetsuya's voice came from above, causing the Sound Ninja Four to tremble and look up in astonishment.
