Chapter 275 Is this punishment? It's clearly a reward!
["Change Sasuke Uchiha's punishment in the Chunin Exams timeline to one—"]
"Speak your mind."
"Since Uchiha Sasuke, and indeed the entire Uchiha clan, are 'silent,' keeping everything to themselves, they are being punished with a passive buff: 'Speak Your Mind.'"
[Punishment period: 3 months, starting immediately.]
"Speak your mind, and keep your word!" Naruto Uzumaki: "Isn't this my ninja way?! Why does it become punishment when it comes to Sasuke?"
"I just can't do anything with you, you're such a big idiot."
Just as Naruto was about to retort to Sasuke that he wasn't a complete idiot, he heard Sasuke hadn't finished speaking.
Shrugged and sighed, Uchiha Sasuke said matter-of-factly, "But since you're practically like my younger brother, I can only reluctantly explain it to you!"
Amidst everyone's astonished gazes, Uchiha Sasuke seemed oblivious to what he was saying.
"Of course it's because I'm not honest at all! So what's easy for you to do is very difficult for me, isn't it?"
"S-Sasuke——"
Kakashi wanted to remind Sasuke, but Sasuke just couldn't stop talking, and he himself didn't realize what he was saying.
"I am the son of the Uchiha clan head. As the second young master of the Uchiha clan, of course I have to maintain a certain air, otherwise wouldn't I be disgracing the Uchiha clan?"
"Sometimes I envy you. You don't have to worry about so many things, and you dare to say, do, and take responsibility for anything."
"I want to be ahead of you, but I don't know when it started! You're improving faster and faster, even though I'm trying my best, I always end up falling behind you without even realizing it!"
"This is so annoying! Can't you just stop moving and let me catch my breath?!"
"No, if you fall too far behind me, I'll be in a difficult position too."
"Ugh!! I know I have a really conflicted personality! But you can't just change your personality like that!"
"I'll stop here, or I'll start crying—"
After Sasuke finished venting his anger, he looked up.
He noticed that everyone was looking at him with an expression that suggested he could swallow an egg whole.
"Let me die!!!! What did I even say?! Forget it! Forget it all!! You're not allowed to listen to even my true feelings!!"
"Shut up! Don't say anything!!"
20 timelines!
It all comes down to Sasuke Uchiha's performance in the Konoha Chunin Exams timeline.
Ah?
But why were 20 Uchiha Sasukes killed?
Not only Sasuke Uchiha, but Madara Uchiha, whose thoughts were completely different from Sasuke's, was so frightened that his fur stood on end!
terrible!
This punishment is far too devastating for the Uchiha clan!!
Imagine if he were to say those things to Hashirama, Madara Uchiha would immediately want to dig a tunnel with his toes and hide in it for the rest of his life!!
"The punishment period is limited to three months—"
"I hope Sasuke can pull through."
"It feels like we're torturing him too much. Isn't this a bit cruel?"
"The Uchiha clan's disadvantage lies in their inability to speak up. Let Sasuke help them express themselves properly; perhaps it won't be a bad thing."
"I hope so."
In Konoha, the ninjas who were familiar with Uchiha Sasuke were quietly discussing it.
"Why don't we take advantage of these three months to talk to Uchiha Sasuke more?"
"Huh? Why?"
"I'd like to know what the Uchiha are really thinking about us." Konoha ninja: "The comments say the Uchiha are usually too arrogant, and what they say and what they really mean are completely different."
"Oh dear! After reading so many comments, you still don't know? You can't believe everything you see in the comments!"
"That's right, that's right. The comments even said that Uchiha said, 'You should hurry up and let me kill you!' But what he really meant was, 'I'm lonely, please persuade me to come back.'"
The Konoha ninja shivered.
"Those all-knowing gods have such terrifying ideas!"
The Valley of the End 2.0 Timeline
As one of only two people in all timelines to have said this, Sasuke Uchiha's expression at this moment is quite telling.
Because there are so many comments, they can't pay attention to every single one.
For example, he hadn't noticed this before.
Now, hearing the Konoha ninjas in the mirror bring it up, you can imagine how embarrassed Sasuke must be!
Naruto: "I knew it! I knew it! I knew Sasuke was thinking the same thing!"
"Shut up!! You're so noisy! You're such an idiot!"
"Pfft! You really should have received this punishment too. It would have been so much better if you had been more honest, little Sasuke~"
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!!!"
Oh, a powerful fireball.
It's alright then, the burn won't kill you.
Boruto Timeline —
In this timeline, Sasuke has become much more frank after the passage of time.
Seventh Hokage Naruto: "This was probably the cruelest punishment you could have received as a child, Sasuke."
The 32-year-old Uncle Zuo chuckled, "It's just as cruel for me now."
"You're much more frank now."
"Compared to before, maybe so."
Konoha Chunin Exams Timeline -
Sasuke Uchiha thought about how he only had three months left in this life, and he was so anxious he almost cried.
Not only has my mouth become more frank, but my personality also seems to have become much more straightforward. I laugh when I want to laugh and cry when I want to cry, and a lot of my inner emotions have been released.
These three months may very well become the darkest period of his life in the next ten years.
The rewards and punishments of the bullet screen have progressed to the next timeline: ["Valley of the End 1.0 Timeline, Uchiha Sasuke chose -- Other"].
[No reward will be given if the conclusion of this discussion is not reached.]
【"punish-"】
Uchiha Sasuke was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat!
They want to have two children in three years and a son in five years.
I don't want to experience three months of hellish life.
But, unfortunately...
No matter how much he didn't want it to be this way, it still happened.
"For the prosperity of the ninja world, please, Sasuke Uchiha, actively support the three-child policy."
["Considering that Uchiha Sasuke is currently under 19 years old, he is not allowed to discuss related topics, therefore the punishment has been modified."]
["The punishment for Uchiha Sasuke in the Valley of the End 1.0 timeline has been changed to one—"]
"Speak your mind."
"Quick! Kakashi! Throw me into your Kamui dimension!!"
"I'm sorry, Sasuke, I don't know how to use Obito's Mangekyou Sharingan yet~"
Kakashi's signature smile: (_▼)
"spray!"
Uchiha Sasuke spat out a sound, and the next second he switched to "speak your mind" mode.
"Never mind, it's okay. I'll still think you always manage to save the day at crucial moments. You're a very skilled ninja and a very handsome teacher."
Kakashi was suddenly struck in the heart!
"God, can Sasuke really only exist for three months? Let him exist forever!"
Sasuke Uchiha broke out in a cold sweat as he realized what he had said!
Forget it! Forget everything I just said right now!!
Yes, that's what Sasuke wanted to say.
But reality doesn't allow it.
"You've done everything you could for us. Don't be so hard on yourself. After all, even Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin, Orochimaru, and the Fourth Hokage of Konoha couldn't protect their students. You don't need to be too hard on yourself."
Kakashi is about to cry after Sasuke talks to him!
Izumo Kamui: "This is hardly a punishment for Sasuke—"
Gangzi Tie: "This is clearly a blessing bestowed upon Uchiha Sasuke's mouth!!"
"In the words used in the comments, what's this called again?"
"Don't speak like that?"
"Yes, yes, yes, yes!!!"
Sasuke was thinking: Enough! Stop talking!! Stop!!
But he kept repeating to himself the "speak your mind" persona he had maintained for the past three months:
"As for Obito Uchiha's matter, I think you have even less reason to take all the responsibility upon yourself."
"How could I not understand the Uchiha clan?"
"You told me before that Obito Uchiha awakened his Sharingan to save you, right?"
"Let me tell you!" Sasuke said confidently, "Based on my experience, you are no less important to Obito Uchiha than Rin Nohara. If you had died back then, Obito Uchiha might still have followed the path paved for him by Madara, and might even have gone even more insane."
"Although he might say it's because you didn't keep your promise to your face, he'll immediately change his mind if you just show a little bit of pain."
"Compared to hating you, he should hate himself more for failing to protect you and that woman named Nohara Rin."
"So you shouldn't always look so tired. We students feel uncomfortable seeing you like this."
Kakashi didn't cry.
He just peed through his eyes.
"Sasuke—"
Kakashi was so moved that he burst into tears. Although he was Konoha's ace Jonin, he was almost destined to be a lone star, which made him extremely insecure in his outlook on life.
Hearing Sasuke's honest words, Kakashi, while not exactly relieved, felt greatly relieved.
It seems he's been waiting for this kind of recognition.
Waiting for someone to tell him that his father's death, Obito's death, Rin's death, Minato's death, and Kushina's death were not his fault, not his fault at all.
You have done your best.
Kakashi Hatake from other timelines was also driven to emotional breakdown by what he said.
However, compared to Kakashi in his corresponding timeline, who simply couldn't hold back his tears, Kakashi in other timelines just lowered his head and tried his best to suppress his emotions.
But if someone taps him on the shoulder, hands him a bill, or gives him a hug, telling him it's not his fault, it really isn't his fault...
In that case, it's highly likely that this elite Jonin of Konoha will still have to break through the dam.
Fourth Shinobi World War timeline—
Sasuke Uchiha had completely voiced Obito's inner monologue, making him so embarrassed that he jumped up and down, arguing with Sasuke from the Fourth Shinobi World War, who was in the same timeline: "When did I ever say such a thing! That's not what I thought at all! Don't talk nonsense!!"
Sasuke Uchiha, in his fourth World War, scoffed inwardly and retorted, "Oh? You mean you think Kakashi's father's death, your faked death, Rin Nohara's death, the Fourth Hokage and his wife whom you killed, Naruto becoming an orphan, and the annihilation of the Uchiha clan were all Kakashi's fault?"
Obito Uchiha was shocked!!
Sasuke Uchiha wasn't always this vicious and ruthless, was he?!
He quickly looked at Kakashi.
Kakashi was indeed asking him with his eyes: Obito, do you really think so?
The atmosphere had reached this point, leaving Obito Uchiha in a dilemma, unable to move forward or backward.
"Don't listen to Sasuke's nonsense! I never thought that way! I already said that Hatake Sakumo was a hero, didn't I?! Besides, didn't you read a single word of what was said in the comments?! What does that have to do with you?!"
Obito, enraged, decided to have a confession.
"If you absolutely have to say you've done something wrong, then you can only blame yourself for having a comrade named Uchiha Obito!!! I've ruined your life!!"
Obito Uchiha has resurrected the Edo Tensei Hashirama Senju and released all the Tailed Beasts.
He now has white hair, and the parts of his body damaged in battle are White Zetsu components, while the other half of his body is still his own.
When they start arguing, all the blood rushes to their head, and their neck and head turn red.
To cover up his embarrassment, he grumbled at Kakashi for a while, then immediately turned to Sasuke to continue their "loving family" banter.
Obito: "You didn't have a mouth when you were talking to Naruto! Why are you so strong when you're facing me and Madara?!"
"Nonsense, can you even compare them side-by-side?!"
Sasuke didn't say anything, but...
After all, the other side was also an Uchiha clan. Sasuke's words were automatically translated into the ears of Obito and Madara as:
"You dare compare yourselves to Naruto? Who do you think you are?!"
"Kaba-i"
Madara Uchiha crushed the Oreo in his hand (a gift from the all-knowing gods).
No! Sasuke didn't say that at all!!!
In response, Tobirama Senju said, "I really love watching Uchiha fight each other, and I'll stick to the idea that no matter who wins or loses!"
In short, it felt so satisfying!
Next up is the Land of Waves 2.0 timeline.
[In the Land of Waves 2.0 timeline, Sasuke Uchiha chose Itachi Uchiha.]
["In line with the conclusion of the topic, please state your own wishes."]
In this timeline, Sasuke Uchiha had already made a wish once before.
His wish at the time was for the Uchiha clan, who had existed since the Nine-Tails' rampage, to appear before him.
The family members have all been resurrected, the only problem is Itachi Uchiha's physical condition.
However, Itachi cannot forgive himself for personally annihilating his clan, and most of his clan members also cannot forgive him. Sasuke is now 17 years old.
At the age of 20, he had not yet obtained the Mangekyou Sharingan, and his thoughts were not extreme, and his thinking was relatively clear.
Giving Itachi a healthy body is not a wise choice at this stage. "I have no more wishes."
Sasuke Uchiha looked in the mirror and said, "If I had to say what my wish is—"
He paused for a moment.
"You've fulfilled so many of our wishes, resurrected my father, mother, and all my relatives. I—"
As everyone knows, Uchiha Sasuke is not a frank person.
Getting him to be frank is virtually impossible without external help.
But this time was different. For more than a month, he lived with his father and mother.
He wandered among the clansmen, asking them to put aside their prejudices. Even if he couldn't reconcile with the Konoha leadership, he asked them to at least acknowledge their own problems.
Fugaku Uchiha praised Sasuke more than once for growing up to be even better than he had expected. If he had been more frank back then and openly discussed with his two sons the difficulties he faced as clan leader and father, there might have been a better solution.
Furthermore, the objective and subjective comments in the live chat caused the Uchiha clan members to waver, essentially reaching the conclusion that "both Konoha and the Uchiha clan have problems." Moreover, the existence of a traitor within the Uchiha clan, unknown to them, who caused the death of the Fourth Hokage, played a decisive role in the "Uchiha clan's extermination."
Seventeen-year-old Uchiha Sasuke bowed slightly to the mirror and continued speaking.
"I am so grateful to you for fulfilling so many of our wishes, for bringing my father, mother, and all my relatives back to life, and for letting us know everything."
You include the Divine Tree bullet screen, and you also include the countless "all-knowing gods".
Recalling the moment when the Divine Tree's barrage wall descended upon the ninja world, the first hour of the extreme video conference and the countless extreme remarks that angered Sasuke of the Fourth Shinobi World War, who shouted that he would kill those guys.
Now, after going through several subsequent debates and having calmed down, he realized that whether they disliked him or liked him, those who were willing to spend time and energy participating in the debate were all people deeply fascinated by their world.
"I am truly grateful to you all—"
"but-"
"That's enough."
"My wish is that this ends here, and that there are no more new issues."
