Naruto: On the eve of extermination, the system saved me from danger

That afternoon.

The news of the dead was announced at the Hokage Building, attracting all the villagers to gather under the building. Regardless of whether the dead were related to them or not, as they were all from the same village, everyone felt sad to some extent.

And among the crowd, there was a small figure wearing the attire of the Uchiha clan.

“No… Impossible…”

"Brother Shisui clearly promised me..."

After seeing the news that the entire Uchiha clan was killed in battle, Sasuke felt as if he was struck by a thunderbolt. Not only did his mind go blank, but his whole body was shaking uncontrollably.

He stood at the foot of the Hokage Building for a long time, his eyes never leaving the Uchiha death list, his mind almost in a mess.

The moment he met Brother Shisui and saw those Root ninjas intending to electrocute their members under the electric poles, Sasuke felt that Yan's death must not be an accident.

It was obviously done by the Root Ninjas.

But now......

The truth behind Yan's death has not yet been revealed, and as a result, the target of revenge, his clansmen, and relatives have all left.

This made six-year-old Sasuke feel like the sky was falling.

"Sasuke, you...are not going back yet?"

At this moment, Uzumaki Naruto's voice suddenly came from a distance. When he passed by the Hokage Building today, he saw Sasuke standing here in a daze for the whole afternoon.

After learning from other villagers that the Uchiha clan had died in battle, Naruto stood at the corner and watched Sasuke for the entire afternoon.

He really wanted to go up and offer some comfort, but Sasuke's condition made him at a loss for words.

My brother died not long ago, and today all my clansmen and relatives died in battle...

Naruto thought it would be best to leave Sasuke alone for now, and he just crouched in the corner and watched Sasuke.

Seeing that it was getting dark and all the roadside lights were on, Naruto couldn't help but remind the guy.

So that Sasuke wouldn't starve to death standing at the door.

Sasuke turned around slightly, his eyes were dazed. He didn't even say hello to Naruto, and walked home in a daze.

Along the way, he was recalling the happy times he had with his family.

Even when he reached the door of his house, he didn't know how he walked all the way back...

crunch--

Pushing open the door, Sasuke repeated the action of closing the door like a zombie, then dragged his exhausted body slowly across the yard.

But just as Sasuke walked across the yard and into the room, he seemed to see Yan sitting on the stone table eating a popsicle.

"My fish-lipped Ou Doudou..."

"Why are you going home empty-handed?"

Sasuke:? ? ?

.......

Chapter 90 Sasuke: My Earthbound Brother...

Yan was sitting on the stone table in the yard, his feet on the stone bench with his legs crossed, eating half a popsicle in his hand.

He was also wearing the same clothes as Sasuke.

He found the clothes from his room, but it seemed that his clothes in the room were put away by his mother, so he simply took his brother's clothes to wear.

Don't mention it, after putting on Sasuke's clothes...

If you don't look carefully, outsiders can't tell the difference between the two brothers.

He just went out to buy popsicles.

Because he was dressed similarly to Sasuke and had a stern expression, many people mistook him for Sasuke when he walked on the street.

“You guys are really…”

"Why did you even put away my things?"

"I couldn't even take a nap when I got home."

Yan still exuded a hint of resentment when he talked about this. He glanced at Sasuke, who was probably confused by the surprise, and continued to speak with disdain.

"You don't even wash your bedding; it smells like saliva."

"besides......."

"Why is there no food at home?"

"Yan...?"

When Sasuke heard this guy chattering on and on, he suddenly felt a little uneasy for some reason.

He really wanted to see Yan again.

but.......

He had just learned that his entire family had died in the war, and before he even had time to go home to grieve, he opened the door and saw his brother, who had died not long ago, sitting in the yard and talking about family matters with a lot of resentment.

On the one hand, he said there was no food at home, and on the other hand, he said he didn’t even have a piece of clothing…

It looked very much like what people call an earthbound spirit formed due to excessive obsession.

In such a situation, Sasuke never thought that Yan was resurrected from the dead, but just thought that Yan had become an earthbound spirit because of his excessive obsession.

I recalled the horror story Yan once told me.

It is said that once a loved one turns into a spirit due to resentment, it will most likely haunt the person for the rest of their life, and in serious cases, it may even take their life.

Thinking of the plots in those horror stories, the child's face turned pale in an instant.

"You..." Sasuke quickly took a step back, beads of sweat dripping down his cheeks and from his chin to the ground. He raised his trembling hand, closed his eyes tightly, and shouted with a little fear.

"Yan! I know there's something else behind your death!"

"But you can't come back and hurt your own brother!!"

As he was speaking, he remembered that he had seen the news of the Uchiha clan's death under the Hokage Building today. He was immediately filled with grief and burst into tears.

“I…I’m already miserable now!!”

Uchihahiko:?

Yan, who was eating a popsicle, had his expression frozen instantly.

Originally, he thought Sasuke was standing there in a daze, speechless with joy. But when he heard Sasuke saying something about death, he was completely stunned.

etc??

What is this guy talking about?

When did I die!?

Yan came to see his brother this time mainly to tell him about the Uchiha clan's fake death and escape, and also to tell him about what Itachi had done.

Whether he believes it or not.

Anyway, it can be regarded as a precautionary measure for Sasuke, so that Itachi won't appear and drive the kid crazy on the spot.

only.......

It's true that his parents were dead in Sasuke's eyes, but when he left, he clearly told his old father to remember to tell Sasuke...

Why did I die?

What else is going on? Isn't that right?

Yan sat on the stone table, his brain working so fast that he didn't even notice that the popsicle had melted.

Sasuke was still crying. He thought of the death of his entire clan in the battle and Yan's departure. The grievance and pain in his heart burst out at this moment.

"You are dead... Mom and Dad are dead too..."

“All the tribesmen are gone.”

"Why! Why are all of them dying? We were having dinner together at home just a few days ago!"

"A few days ago, I was walking down the street and saw how busy the streets were outside my family..."

Sasuke was sad and confused.

It seemed as if there was no warning for everyone's death, which made it difficult for him to accept Yan's death. Now he encountered such a thing again. Not to mention a child like Sasuke, even an adult would find it difficult to accept it.

Yan sat on the stone table, just listening quietly to Sasuke's crying, without saying anything to interrupt him.

until.......

After crying for more than ten minutes, the boy calmed down a little.

"Wow... I know you were very unwilling to die tragically under the telephone pole. You must feel very frustrated to die like that..."

"Huh? Wha...what?"

Yan really wanted to be a good listener, but when he heard the details of his own death, he couldn't hold back his expression and just stared at him blankly.

Sasuke really thought Yan was a resentful ghost, and ignored him completely, just talking to himself.

“It’s okay…”

"If you have any unfulfilled wishes, I will find a way to help you fulfill them."

Sasuke wiped his tears with his arms and spoke with a choked voice.

He was very reluctant to let go of this annoying guy, but he heard that the dead would only be reincarnated after fulfilling their unfulfilled wishes...

Yan Tai gave a sinister laugh, and when he raised his face, the afterglow of the setting sun cast a large shadow on his face, creating a sense of horror on the spot.

"Piggy Bank, you still have something hidden, right?"

"?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Sasuke suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with confusion, doubt, and a little anger.

This familiar feeling made Sasuke forget to cry for a moment.

If Yan, who was standing in front of him, had not died, Sasuke swore that he would take out the two ninja swords at his waist and give this annoying guy a few hard hits.

What a bastard!

You're already dead, and you're still thinking about my pocket money?!

At this moment, the perfect Nissan in Sasuke's memory was suddenly shattered, and turned into a disgusting guy who teased him all day long and smashed his piggy bank from time to time.

"You... you're just as annoying whether you're dead or alive."

Sasuke gritted his teeth, said a few words of disgust, turned around and walked into the house.

no way.

It was Yan who had told him before that the dead are greater than others.

"This child... is truly hopeless."

Yan stood there scratching his head, looking at his silly brother who had not yet discovered the truth. He touched his chin and began to wonder if he had taken away the boy's little intelligence when he was born.

About three minutes later, Sasuke brought a cardboard box with three cat piggy banks in it: red, yellow, and pink.

He originally had seven in different colors, but Yan smashed one and sent another to the cemetery. Adding to the expenses of being alone at home these days, he only had these three cat piggy banks left.

Sasuke had a blank expression on his face, but when he looked at the cat piggy bank, his brows still revealed a hint of pain.

He threw the cardboard box in front of Yan, then took five steps back and began to look at Yan, who had been "dead for many days", carefully.

It seemed as if he was observing whether this guy would suddenly turn into a green-faced, fang-toothed evil ghost.

To be honest, Sasuke was still a little scared.

After all, in Yan's stories, there are too many scary things, such as evil ghosts that eat human hearts and livers, zombies that turn into zombies after a bite, and so on.

Among them are evil spirits that specialize in killing blood relatives.

boom--

The sound of the piggy bank breaking was heard. Yan knocked it three times in a row, looked up and shouted "It's so satisfying", then said something to Sasuke.

"Oh, right. This afternoon I bought a popsicle, ten skewers of octopus balls, and three bottles of orange soda at Tance Street..."
