Chapter 255 The One Who Knows Everything!
dusk.
Sasuke stood on the cliff face, his head buried deep in the ground, his shoulders heaving.
A tsunami far more turbulent than the sea he had ever seen surged in his mind.
Every word Allen spoke, every image he recalled of Itachi, was like a poisoned kunai, repeatedly carving into his already shattered worldview.
That demon who slaughtered his entire clan, that Itachi Uchiha who would sacrifice his body for revenge.
still is……
His older brother, who loved him the most.
But this love was too heavy, suffocating him.
……
"Run for your life, run for your life, do everything you can to survive."
"You have to become someone who can kill me; that's the only way you can survive."
"Forgive me, Sasuke, this is the last time."
……
Itachi's voice echoed in his mind; some of it was what he had said, and some he hadn't said aloud, but he could see it in his eyes when he recalled it.
The Uchiha were not good with words, and the message contained in their eyes was so powerful that no one dared to look directly at them.
Sasuke only just remembered that night...
There were tears in the corners of Itachi's eyes.
He must be in so much pain...
Sasuke's former meaning of life collapsed, and no new meaning has been established yet, leaving only endless nothingness.
……
What should I do...?
What should I do if I see that man again...?
When you still say you love me with that mouth that devoured your entire clan, can I still say I still love you like I did when I was a child...?
No matter how I think about it... it still...
I'm so sad...
Why is this happening...?
Are we... truly a cursed race...?
……
Zika—
There was no earth-shattering roar, only a soft sob, and a faint sound like shattering glass came from deep within his pupils.
He slowly raised his head.
His once jet-black eyes had now turned a deep crimson.
In the pupil, a complex and magnificent pattern is solidifying.
The three magatama rotate rapidly, forming a completely new shape that is precisely assembled around the central pupil.
Cold, sharp, and filled with a destructive crimson six-pointed star.
Kaleidoscope Sharingan.
……
Itachi was wrong.
Sasuke's awakening condition is not witnessing the death of his loved ones; repeatedly reliving the night of the massacre is utterly futile.
It should be said that... the condition for the Uchiha to awaken has never been "losing love".
Rather, it's about understanding "love".
Because of their understanding and fear of losing love, the Uchiha awakened this power to protect love.
Tobirama Senju's so-called theory is putting the cart before the horse, reversing cause and effect.
……
Da...da...
"How is it?" Allen asked softly.
Sasuke gazed at the sea, his eyes seemingly able to pierce through the night and see the outline of another world.
He was no longer so angry and spoke calmly.
"If I could go back to that world, I would destroy Konoha."
"Where's Itachi?"
Sasuke remained silent for a long time.
"Living... is too painful. As he wishes, I will kill him."
……
Allen smiled faintly: "Whatever you want, it's not a bad way to gain eternal eyes."
Sasuke turned his head, his newly formed Mangekyou Sharingan fixed on Allen.
Only now did he realize the difference in eye power, and understand that Allen possessed far more than just the Kaleidoscope.
"By fusing the kaleidoscopes of two closest relatives, you gained eternal eye power... Did you kill your own family?"
Allen shook his head: "If I had family, I wouldn't use such a pointless method to get promoted."
"Itachi also got one thing wrong: Madara didn't kill his brother to take the Mangekyou Sharingan; his brother gave it to Madara voluntarily."
……
"Why do you know these things?"
Sasuke frowned: "That blue fish-man told me you've been in this world since you were a child, how could you know about the ninja world?"
"It's like...having personally experienced that era!"
Allen tapped his temple and said calmly, "You wouldn't understand anything too complicated."
"I've imagined all the things that have happened in the ninja world and all the things that might happen in the future."
"Just consider it one of my kaleidoscope abilities."
……
Kaleidoscope... is it the kind of eye technique that can know everything?
Sasuke believed this statement without much hesitation. His arrogance as an Uchiha made him think that it was not surprising that the Sharingan could do anything.
……
"Then... can you teach me how to obtain eternal eye power?"
Sasuke gritted his teeth: "I don't want to gain power by killing others, as that guy planned!"
Just like when he chose to let Naruto go and awakened the Three Tomoe.
Even knowing Itachi's intentions, he didn't want to accept this power.
……
Allen's lips curled into a smile: "Someone like me...?"
"That's not a minor surgery to merge two eyes; the risk of death is quite high."
"I am not afraid of death."
Allen nodded: "Being fearless is useless. I'm not your father, so I have no reason to do anything for you for nothing."
"Are you prepared for the price you'll pay for gaining power?"
Sasuke took a deep breath, recalling what Allen had said to Shirahoshi and the others.
First, ask,
"You'll still go to the ninja world, won't you?"
……
"Of course, this world will soon merge with the ninja world."
Allen couldn't suppress his smile: "My name is about to break free from the world's constraints."
"Just thinking about it makes me...impatient!"
……
Allen was very tall, much taller than Sasuke.
His long hair swayed wildly, and a massive shadow enveloped Sasuke completely.
This face possesses an aloofness that transcends all living beings, yet it carries a vibrant sense of disdain.
Faced with this figure, the newly risen moonlight seemed to dim, and the sound of the waves receded into the distant background.
Tianhai, there is only one of him.
Even the proud Sasuke couldn't help but think...
In every respect, this is a man far superior to me!
So...
……
"I will be better than that mermaid; please let me serve as your personal guard!"
"As long as we share the same goal, I will never betray you!"
……
Allen crossed his arms and looked at him with a half-smile: "An interesting premise for betrayal..."
"I don't care whichever you choose."
"but……"
brush--!!
Even with the keen insight of a kaleidoscope, it's impossible to see clearly; the body senses touch first!

Allen grabbed Sasuke by the neck with one hand and lifted him high, tilting his head and smiling slightly: "The first lesson I'll teach you is manners."
"You must use a respectful form of address when addressing your senior, Ms. Shirahoshi!"
click -
A clear cracking sound came from behind.
Sasuke felt like he was about to die, and his eyes kept rolling back.
With his limbs twitching and convulsing, this powerful kaleidoscope user was now like a helpless child facing a villain!
He was about to use his awakened eye technique when every cell in his body screamed, warning him that he absolutely could not do it!
This is the body's instinctive reaction when there is a significant disparity in life experiences.
Any action that angers a higher-level being will only hasten death!
……
Sasuke's vision blurred as he listened...
"The neck is a great position for controlling a person, don't you think so too..."
"Mr. Orochimaru."
Glug glug—
"Heh...heh..." Sasuke let out a painful growl.
From the curse mark on the back of his neck, a pale, slippery white substance surged wildly from his body, covering his entire body, as if it were alive.
The white substance twisted and expanded, quickly forming a giant white snake.
The white snake opened its ferocious maw, revealing a pale human figure.
She is one of the legendary Sannin...
Orochimaru!
A hint of fear flickered in the serpent's cold eyes as it looked down at Allen, its voice hoarse.
"Did you notice...? It's incredibly powerful..."
"This world, and you, are just so interesting!!"
"O all-knowing one!!"
Allen shook off Sasuke, put his hands in his pockets, and stared at the ground instead of looking up.
BOOM!!!
The next moment, a huge, seemingly real beast claw pressed down on the white snake, right in front of Allen's eyes!
"Impoliteness inherited from the same lineage."
"I've already started calling you Mr. Orochimaru..."
"With your meager strength, you should call me Lord Allen."
"You agree, don't you?"
……
……
Orochimaru's face was pressed tightly against the ground, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not escape the suppression of the beast's claws.
He forced an awkward smile.
"You're right... Lord Allen."
