The concern and worry in that exclamation made Sasuke's heart skip a beat.
He didn't pay attention to the words themselves and rushed into the room, only to see his parents lying in a pool of blood.
"Name: Uchiha Fugaku, Status: Dying..."
"Name: Uchiha Mikoto, Status: Dying..."
"Uchiha Fugaku fell on Uchiha Mikoto in a protective posture. There were no signs of fierce fighting at the scene. The murderer was very efficient, killing with a single blow..."
The narration bombarded Sasuke with information in an instant.
Even the characters who could save his parents were highlighted.
"The only one who can save them is the strongest medical ninja in the world, but if she can't be found within ten minutes, we must find a way to revive them..."
Sasuke's emotions surged. Noticing the key point in the narration, he quickly turned to the person standing nearby and said, "Brother... hurry, find a doctor to save Mom and Dad, someone has invaded the clan..."
When he looked at the familiar figure, the narration sounded again, providing information that further shook his emotions.
"Name: Uchiha Itachi, Record: Against Uchiha Fugaku, one strike; against Uchiha Mikoto, one strike; Weapon: the long sword on the ground..."
Sasuke: "???"
He stepped back several paces, his eyes falling on the shadowed figure, feeling both familiar and alien.
"No... impossible... why is it you?"
The narration displayed different information one after another, showing Sasuke the situation of his parents and the current strength of Uchiha Itachi.
[Name: Uchiha Itachi, Age: Thirteen...]
[After quickly slaughtering his parents, the boy's face did not seem happy... What was he thinking?]
Under the cold moonlight, Itachi looked in Sasuke's direction, his tone as cold as frost: "What a foolish little brother..."
"Warning, warning... Young host, please close your eyes, a large wave of negative energy is about to hit, please bow your head immediately—"
Sasuke knelt on the ground, ignoring the system's information, just staring at his parents in the pool of blood, his eyes gradually dulling: "Did you kill the clan members outside... too? Why?"
"To test my capacity—"
Itachi spoke seriously, as if stating something natural, which made Sasuke recall some of the past.
"Is it just for this? This can't be..."
[You think there is something else behind the incident, but the man who opened the legendary Mangekyō Sharingan insists on this fact. What kind of horror is hidden behind it?]
Sasuke looked towards his father and suddenly recalled what his father had said about the legendary Mangekyō Sharingan...
And the current situation where no one in the village reacted to the crisis.
"This is the most important thing." Uchiha Itachi spoke indifferently, but his expression was not as hysterical as before, "To test... my [capacity]."
Sasuke crawled to his parents' side, watching the narration data of his parents change, and tears had overflowed his entire face without him realizing it: "Father... always regarded you as his pride...
"Some time ago, he said he didn't understand you very well. You don't like to interact with people anymore, and your behavior is a little strange. Is this the answer you want to give your father?"
"For these eyes, all this is worth it."
The moonlight was cold.
His voice was colder than the moonlight.
Sasuke made a somewhat awkward attempt to stop his parents' bleeding according to the prompts, but with his current means, he only managed to awaken their last consciousness.
In the pool of blood, his mother weakly reached out and whispered: "Live... Sasuke."
"Mom—"
Just as a glimmer of light appeared in Sasuke's eyes, the narration information beside his mother changed its status.
[Name: Uchiha Mikoto, Status: Deceased]
Sasuke: "!!!"
At this time, Uchiha Itachi had already turned to leave.
Sasuke got up and chased after him. Without wiping away his tears, he asked hoarsely: "Why didn't the village react at all? Why are you acting more and more strangely... There must be something you can tell me, right?
"This is not you at all..."
"No, this is me." Uchiha Itachi shook his head gently, "I pretended to be the brother in your mind just to reduce your capacity..."
"And I can gauge my capacity through you. You hate me very much... and keep trying to surpass me, so I won't kill you.
"You and I are the same. Both of us can awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan, but only one condition is required. That is to kill your best friend with your own hands!"
The devil's whisper was full of chilling temptation.
The emotionless narration, like an electronic sound, almost became the lifeline for Sasuke at this moment.
"Sharingan, a bloodline limit related to emotional changes, the more agitated the emotions, the more likely it is to awaken the Sharingan..."
"Everyone says that the Senju clan is the clan of love, but the Uchiha clan is more eager for love, hiding this love in their hearts. When the Uchiha clan understands love or loses love, accompanied by stronger power, the Sharingan will awaken, even the Mangekyō Sharingan, leading to extremes—"
Sasuke was stunned, and his father's speculation about the Mangekyō Sharingan came to mind.
For Uchiha ninjas who live normal lives, the Mangekyō can indeed easily become an illusory legend.
But, this pair of Mangekyō...
He looked at the eyes that contained infinite power and opened his mouth: "You... killed Shisui?"
"That's right, and then I had these eyes." Uchiha Itachi said, explaining, "The main hall of the Naka Shrine, from the innermost part of the right side, starting from the seventh tatami, there is a secret meeting place for our clan.
"It also hides the deepest secret of our family!"
The deliberate guidance and the selected truth, after the system's reminder, were all presented to Sasuke.
[Name: Uchiha Itachi, Status: It's hard to judge... When an extreme brother-control chooses to arrange your life, do you want to follow his script or explore the truth behind the story?]
"Young cub host, your brother seems to be a little sick..." The kitten lay on the boy's shoulder, "Wait, why did you fall down?
"Wake up... Cheer up!"
Sasuke didn't care about the narration or other words, he just felt dizzy, and the world in front of him seemed to gradually dim.
In a daze.
That cold voice seemed to sound again.
"Foolish little brother, just hate me and despise me like this... Live miserably like this... Run away desperately, live like this, and one day you will have the same eyes, come find me again!"
When Sasuke opened his eyes again, he saw a pure white ceiling.
And the voice of the system.
[As the destined protagonist, the ups and downs seem to be unavoidable setbacks. The cub host who has been in a coma for three days and three nights has to face the first big test of his life. The whole family is gone, and the terrible truth behind the loss of the whole family...]
Sasuke closed his eyes again, as if he couldn't accept the truth.
But the next moment, he quickly looked back at the densely packed narration information in front of him, and recalled the brief conflict that had occurred in the family.
"The secret meeting place that belongs only to the family, and... too many lessons that day."
Sasuke opened his eyes again and communicated with the system in his mind, "Can you expand the information about the Uchiha Guard?"
Swish—
The pure white information panel unfolded, with the Uchiha Guard as the core, and the content was more than what Sasuke had heard from Itachi.
[After the establishment of Konoha Ninja Village, the Uchiha clan, as one of the founders, took on the important task of guarding the village. With the decline and complete extinction of the Uchiha clan, the Konoha Guard, which was mainly composed of the Uchiha clan, completely became the history of the village and lost its guarding function. After losing the Uchiha clan, the entire Konoha Ninja Village did not fill the new guard team.]
"The enemy is in the village? What kind of enemy scares him to this extent?"
Sasuke felt confused.
The more you know, the heavier the burden...
At only seven years old, he felt that his brain could not handle such complex information.
Especially since many new concepts had to be explained systematically, without a definite sense of reality.
