Nanga Shrine is the secret place of worship for the Uchiha family, one of the two legendary ninja clans who founded Konoha Village.
Except for the clan leader, family elders and direct clan members with permission, no one else is allowed to enter.
Without opening the Sharingan, it would be difficult to even know where this is.
Before the tragedy of the night of genocide, Uchiha Sasuke had only heard of this place, but had never been there.
It wasn't until he opened the Three Magatama Sharingan that he discovered some secrets in a family book that he had never seen before.
The original location of Nanga Shrine was not in Konoha Village. After two major expansions twelve years ago and five years ago, the current location of Nanga Shrine is actually included in the area to be developed.
Following the method in the book, he opened the door of Nanga Shrine with difficulty, and Uchiha Saosuke walked in very smoothly.
The corridor has not been maintained for a long time, and the oil lamp on the wall has been completely extinguished.
Holding the lamp, under the flickering light of the fire, the slightly thin Uchiha Zuosuke slowly moved forward, his heart full of anticipation.
If he hadn't been concentrating on chakra refining and practicing the transformation of form and nature in the past few months, it would not have been easy to reach the level of the Three Magatama Sharingan so quickly.
When he felt the new surge of power from his eyes, Uchiha Sasuke's heart surged with immense pride.
He was one step closer to Uchiha Itachi, and his hope for revenge became even greater.
At the end of the corridor is a small room that is not particularly large.
When they got here, Uchiha Sasuke was about to light a nearby wall lamp that still had kerosene left on it. Suddenly, a fire suddenly brightened nearby. Uchiha Sasuke was caught off guard and involuntarily stretched out his hand to cover his eyes.
When he realized something was wrong, the young man who took a few steps back to be alert saw a thin figure sitting on his knees in front of him.
"who?"
"It's finally here, I've been waiting for a long time!"
The person stood up and turned around slowly.
Because she was wearing night clothes and a hood on her head, she couldn't see her face clearly in the shadows, but she could still tell that she was a slim woman. Judging from her voice, she must be young.
Although he didn't know who the other party was, the strange red light in his eyes and the three magatama that were exactly the same as his own made Uchiha Zuosuke feel shocked.
"Sharingan? How...how is this possible?"
"It turns out...I don't remember anything!"
Uchiha Izumi, who had regained her fifteen or sixteen-year-old figure, had long known that Uchiha Sasuke had been subjected to sophisticated illusions many times to modify his memory. Until now, a large part of the key information was still locked in the back of his mind. stand up.
"That brat who only knows how to act coquettishly around Itachi opened his Sharingan at such a young age. If the family is still here, you shouldn't be much worse than him..."
"Do you know me? Apart from that guy, there are actually other people alive?"
"There are too many hidden secrets in this world. If you...if you knew them all, you might completely lose your pursuit of beautiful things."
The slim figure who said that lifted his hood, revealing a face that seemed familiar yet a little strange.
"Are you... Izumi?"
"Sister Izumi! Compared to Itachi, you seem to be more indifferent than him. You should pay more attention to the people around you, and don't ignore people outside the family too much, otherwise..."
Once upon a time, the man who perfectly combined wealth and power said something disdainfully when evaluating the Uchiha family in the past. Uchiha Izumi still remembers it in her heart.
"Senju looks at the entire ninja world, and Uchiha only has Senju in his eyes. The difference in vision and structure has doomed the family's tragic ending. You... don't make the same mistake again."
"But why are you here? Aren't you already dead?"
"It does not matter!"
Uchiha Izumi shook her head very calmly,
"The dead people should not have appeared in front of you. However, the time you opened the three magatama sharingan was too early. Now, it is not the time for you to come to this place..."
Children who are too immature will definitely cause some unnecessary troubles after seeing that the inheritance stone tablet here has been tampered with by Hei Jue.
Originally, Gu Shan Bu Shui wanted to eliminate this hidden danger in advance, but after actually looking at it, he found that this stone tablet left by the Six Paths Immortal was really not a mortal thing. Repeated modifications may cause some unnecessary troubles. .
However, as he has not yet become a genin and the bond of Team 7 does not exist yet, Uchiha Sasuke cannot be affected by it.
"I don't understand. It's not important that relatives die and compatriots turn their backs. Here, we have the core secrets of our family, and we can gain the power of revenge. Why can't I come?"
"Next year during the Bon Festival, if you still want this cursed power, I won't stop you. Now, contacting it too early will only lead to an unfortunate ending. To a certain extent, the family has fallen into this situation. This situation is also inseparable from the power of the inheritance stone tablet."
"Next year...Obon?"
There was a gap of nearly thirteen months between the end of August and the beginning of September. It was just over a year ago, so it was not that I couldn’t afford to wait.
"Would it be too perfunctory if you didn't tell me anything?"
"If you knew what was on it, you would know it. Unfortunately, I can't tell you..."
"Oh well!"
Uchiha Zuosuke also understood that in his current state, he could not handle the power that was too strong.
"Are you the only one alive? Or are there others?"
"You don't have to look at me with such hope! You don't even have the qualifications to know now! The mountain clan in the village are proficient in mind reading. Even people who have recently died can dig out their memories. For now For you, knowing too much is a danger in itself. Being ignorant is the basis for your ability to survive until now. Do you understand? Don't inquire about the so-called 'truth' before you have enough strength. You probably can’t afford it.”
"Then...where have you been all these years?"
For this reason, Uchiha Sasuke knew that he could not let the other party reveal the information proactively, so he changed the topic,
"The first thing I knew was that I had activated the Three Magatama Sharingan, and then I came to intercept. Isn't it too accurate? Could it be that you were watching me nearby?"
Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but worry that his secret was being seen by others.
"Go back! If you don't have what you want here, there won't be a happy ending..."
"Um!"
A cold light flashed in his eyes, and under the strong desire to break through, Uchiha Zuosuke half-turned around, as if he was about to leave. Then, in the sight of Uchiha Izumi, he suddenly accelerated and ran to the side, intending to go around. Arrive directly in front of the inheritance stone tablet.
"It's really... exactly the same!"
The members of the Uchiha family are all so stubborn, and there is no way they would give up unless they give it a try.
There was no movement. Uchiha Izumi seemed not to have expected that Uchiha Zuosuke would do this, and she quietly watched the other party do it.
Just when the young man, who was secretly proud in his heart, thought he had succeeded, suddenly the world started spinning, and when he came to his senses again, he was already lying on the ground.
"Is this...an illusion? There are three magatama sharingan eyes that can reflect illusions. Why..."
"You... are still too far behind!"
In Uchiha Zuosuke's sight, a dark shoe sole quickly approached, imprinted on his face, and then he lost consciousness in a very embarrassed manner.
"Ninjutsu qualifications are no worse than those of any family genius, but his character is far worse than Itachi's. What do you think, Kimimaro..."
In the shadow of the corner of the corridor, a white-haired boy walked over. He was obviously younger than Uchiha Izumi, but stronger.
"I'm not interested in your Uchiha affairs, as long as you don't delay the young master's mission."
Kaguya Kimimaro grabbed Uchiha Sasuke's clothes very unceremoniously, lifted it up, swung it, put it on his shoulder, and was about to send it back.
"What a frighteningly simple man. How naive was the family in the past. They thought that by acquiring one or two pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan, they could conquer the ninja world."
The actual situation is that even Konoha Village couldn't break out, and then it was wiped out.
It is already an era of one village and one country, stable order and coordinated development, but they are still obsessed with the so-called ninja clan and do not know how to adapt. It is not unfair at all to be eliminated.
"It's inexplicable. If you ask me, I should just give him an illusion to make him forget about this. Why do you need to use such a complicated method?"
"How many self-restraints set up by illusions, how many human interferences to tamper with memories, and how many spiritual seals are there in this little brother's body? If you keep stuffing it inside like this, sooner or later, the brain matter will burn into a lake of pulp."
"That's his business and has nothing to do with me. Who makes him so restless and looking for some cursed power that is eager for quick success?"
Kaguya Kimimaro left without looking back, leaving his light words floating underground.
Uchiha Izumi smiled bitterly, turned around, and looked at the stone monument behind.
"The Mangekyo Sharingan is really something that people love and hate. Because of it, the family was able to prosper, and because of it, it was in despair."
There are still some Uchiha people who are secretly hidden, but they no longer have a backbone.
Whether it is Uchiha Itachi or Uchiha Sasuke, everyone's mentality towards them is actually very complicated.
Those who can revive the family are those children who are qualified. Others do not need to have a strong sense of presence.
What was reflected in the eyes of the Sanmagatama Sharingan was the terrifying information of "killing relatives to prove the truth" that poured into his mind.
"Are you...interested in this?"
"I don't know! At least now, I don't want to do anything to my loved ones and friends for inexplicable reasons."
"That's because you have experienced too much and understand the mysteries..."
A translucent liquid emerged from Uchiha Izumi's body and gathered into a humanoid shape not far away. He said to the girl,
"Your family's 'kin-killing' ritual is not the key. As long as it can cause shocking mental fluctuations, it is fine. The moment when love turns to hate is the most eye-opening and the best way to achieve the Mangekyō Sharingan..."
"Now that Zuosuke knows this, he will only become a demon..."
Uchiha Izumi sighed,
"If you don't know how to build bonds and don't understand the value of love, if you just kill, you will only lose the possibility that is not high in the first place."
After a pause, Uchiha Izumi turned around and asked:
"Lord Governor, you are not an Uchiha clansman, how come you know so much about the family inheritance stone tablet?"
"Because... I know who left the stone tablet, and who left the most vicious and deceptive words on it. Do you know? In this world, the most deceptive thing is not lies, but lies. Every sentence, every word is true, but the original meaning is distorted."
"Tampering? You mean..."
"I don't mean anything! Quanmei, do your best, and one day, the truth will be revealed."
"Uchiha Itachi...will you do the same?"
"Who knows? Our Gushan family is not the protagonist of this family argument after all. We are not even considered an important supporting role. We are just a dispensable backdrop."
"Then...are we Uchihas, who are like ghosts, also backgrounds?"
"You... should be regarded as sacrifices!"
The incarnation of Gushan Bushui said. Suddenly, he seemed to feel something and looked up.
"Someone is here, and the ghost is really lingering! It seems that there are quite a few people who want to find the location of Nanga Shrine."
Without any investigation, Fusugi Fusui already knew who was following Uchiha Sasuke.
"Kabuto Yakushi? Orochimaru's bitch, why is he so active? It seems that we need to find something for him to do instead of asking around all day long."
"Can I help you with anything?"
"Go back and play the role of Uzami well. Even hint that you have a connection with Uchiha Izumi. It would be perfect for Uchiha Saosuke to have some associations."
"Young Master, you are really in a bad mood."
"It's more than just watching each other's fun! The Uchiha family's strength comes from emotional fluctuations, especially over-repressed suspicion and hatred. When they are released, they are more likely to be promoted."
"Then...I won't disturb you anymore!"
After bowing respectfully, Uchiha Izumi cleaned up the traces of activities in the basement of Nanga Shrine, and returned without anyone noticing.
------------------
At the same time, after receiving the information from Jiraiya, Sarutobi Hiruzen was greatly surprised. He wished he could immediately terminate the Chuunin Exams and discuss with Furugi Bosui about the Fire Temple and the guardian ninja. .
Resisting the urge to seek confirmation for the first time, the Third Hokage invited Mito Kado and Koharu to discuss countermeasures.
After reading the information, the two consultants also looked at each other, not knowing how to react.
"Are you sure it's correct?"
"Jiraiya, it's still worth believing! Although my disciple is a bit stubborn, big things never come to light."
"Is it possible that Itachi Uchiha is passing on false news, or that he has also been deceived?"
Koharu's suspicion when he went to bed was obviously more serious than Mito Menitis.
"There is a way to verify it, but I am hesitant at what price I have to pay to get the truth."
