It was dark, the night was quiet, and cicadas were chirping. At this moment, in a spacious house, a young boy lay in bed, covered in cold sweat.
A voice kept echoing in his ears,
making his expression more and more terrifying and twisted. His fingers clenched tightly, deforming the bed sheets and making them wrinkled.
"My foolish younger brother, you are too weak. Why are you so weak?!"
"Because your hatred is not enough. Your hatred for me is not enough."
"Right now, you don't even qualify for me to hunt you. My foolish younger brother, hate me more! Come to kill me with the determination to die."
"Then, I will send you to see Dad and Mom..."
"No, no... Ah!!!"
Sasuke immediately sat up in bed, letting out screams. After waking up, his pupils were scattered, filled with intense fear.
Huff... Huff...
"It's a dream..." Sasuke gasped for breath, relieved to find himself in his room.
"Damn it! Why? I've been working so hard, always pushing myself beyond my limits in training. Why can't I win against that guy?!" Sasuke's nails dug deeply into his palms.
Ever since he was easily defeated by that guy that day, Sasuke often had these nightmares. Remembering how his Chidori was easily broken by that guy, Sasuke gritted his teeth in hatred.
Especially when that guy used a trick to recreate the scene of his clan being slaughtered, the horror made Sasuke feel suffocated, wanting to kill him as soon as possible.
"Sharingan, Sharingan, am I so useless?!" Sasuke saw the Sharingan reflected in his eyes in the mirror. Anger rose from his heart, and he instantly gritted his teeth. His Chakra suddenly surged, and he crushed the bed sheets in his hand.
"How can it be... Am I only at this level? Can I still get revenge if things continue like this?!" Sasuke muttered to himself, his words full of unwillingness.
He unconsciously activated his Sharingan just from being intimidated by Itachi's lingering power? Was he that fragile?!
However, Sasuke didn't notice that above his roof, a Byakugan-wielding boy was hiding. Hearing Sasuke's somewhat fearful roar, Neji smiled slightly: "Sasuke, hurry up and leave the village. I've been waiting for this moment for you to betray the village."
Not long after, Sasuke left his room. To Neji's dismay, he jumped out of the window. This seemed to be a common problem for all ninjas: they jump out of windows instead of using doors. It's truly beyond comprehension.
Sasuke wandered aimlessly through the empty streets, wondering what to do in the future and what he should do.
The stars in the night sky were exceptionally bright, twinkling. Sasuke walked alone, perhaps drawn by some unseen force, to the Uchiha Clan's former compound.
After the Uchiha Clan was wiped out, the vast area became empty and desolate. However, the Konoha leaders did not reclaim the Uchiha Clan's compound; it naturally became Sasuke's property.
However, Sasuke didn't want to return here, because this was his place of sorrow. Looking at the desolate and lonely atmosphere around him, Sasuke gritted his teeth again.
"Damn it!"
Sasuke punched a large tree hard. Blood flowed down the trunk, but he didn't feel any pain. He just felt that he was too useless to avenge his clan.
It was the same back then. If he had been stronger, if he had the power to stop Itachi's slaughter, then this tragedy would not have happened.
"Damn it, it's all because of power, more power." Sasuke growled.
He had already worked hard, but remembering how his Chidori was as weak as a twig in front of Itachi, he felt agitated.
"Come out!"
Suddenly, Sasuke turned his head, his eyes turning blood red and sharp, and quickly looked at the tree behind him.
"Haha, as expected of someone Orochimaru-sama has taken a liking to. You really have some skills."
Then, four people with tubes strapped to their backs came out from behind the tree, three men and one woman, the Otogakure Five.
"You are people sent by Orochimaru?" Sasuke said coldly, "Entering Konoha without permission, do you want to start a war?!"
"Don't say that. We're here specifically to find you." A weird person with six arms chuckled.
"Looking for me? Tch, get out, don't bother me!"
Sasuke snorted. He didn't care who sent them. He was in a bad mood and didn't have time to deal with these people.
"You're just a little brat, and you have such a big mouth. I'll break your hands and let you know the gap between us." Sakon said angrily.
"Hey, Sakon, take it easy. He's someone Orochimaru-sama has taken a liking to." Tayuya advised, but there was no hint of tension in her words.
"Looking down on me? You're asking for death!" Sasuke growled, and immediately rushed forward, A huge amount of Chakra surged in his hand and formed a high-intensity electric current.
"Chidori!"
The powerful lightning had extremely strong penetrating power, and shot out like a spear. The sound was ear-piercing, with a vibrating hum, giving people the feeling that it could cut through anything.
But Sasuke was too weak now. Sakon slammed the ground, and a Rashomon gate rose from the ground. Although there was only one gate, it was not something Sasuke could break through at his current level.
Bang!
The loud noise was deafening, and the force of the impact shook the surroundings. However, such a powerful move could only leave a small black mark on the Rashomon gate.
"Hehe, is that all the power you have? I really don't know why Orochimaru-sama would take a liking to someone like you." Sakon said disdainfully.
"What did you say?!"
Sasuke was enraged and rushed forward again. At the same time, black patterns slowly covered his body, and his pair of blood-red eyes shone brightly. In an instant, a surge of power filled his body.
"This is power, the power I want! Die, Chidori!" Sasuke used Chidori again, lightning flashing, and struck the Rashomon, this time piercing a big hole right through it.
However, it still didn't hurt Sakon.
"That's really amazing." Sakon praised.
"Hmph, it's too late to beg for mercy now." Sasuke sneered.
"The power of Orochimaru-sama's cursed mark is really amazing."
"What?! Damn it, why? Why does everyone not acknowledge me? What am I to you?!"
Hearing Sakon's words, Sasuke roared wildly, the bright glow in his blood-red eyes becoming even redder, as if about to drip blood.
"I'll make you pay!"
