Chapter 144 - Chapter 141

There he looked around seeing very old looking scrolls and books that had their very color worn out. He looked around and searched for over 15 minutes until he came across a particular book that looked like an old journal. Grabbing and taking the book up off the shelf, Sasuke opened and started reading into the book. Soon he found out some information pertaining to a man named Uchiha Madara. Curious about who Madara was, he continued reading up on him and learned that he was first leader of the Uchiha clan. As he continued reading, Sasuke was soon in awe at how powerful Madara was as the journal explained that he and his younger brother both activated the Mangekyou Sharingan. The young Uchiha was amazed that Madara and Senju Hashirama were fierce rivals and fought against each other many times but their battles would continuously end in a stalemate either when they both couldn't continue fighting or when they saw enough deaths of their clansmen being killed in front of them which made them cease their fighting.

"My ancestor was so strong that he rivaled the Shodai," Sasuke said to himself with a hint of pride at seeing how great Madara was to have been as powerful as a Kage. As he continued reading he read how a truce was reached between the Senju and Uchiha clan as both groups got tired of fighting each other. Later the Senju, Uchiha and Uzumaki clan formed Konoha and established the first shinobi village. Sasuke's expression of Madara soon changed into one of confusion when the journal explained how the Uchiha clan grew to despise him and saw him as a greedy opportunist who sought to reignite the old flames of war after Hashirama was chosen to become the Shodaime Hokage instead of him. The journal explained how Madara left the clan and Konoha altogether, and later returned with the Kyuubi to challenge Hashirama. Using the power of his Sharingan to control the Kyuubi, Madara manipulated the creature to attack Shodai in the location that became known as the Valley of the End in the attempt to kill him. Sasuke was surprised at this revelation, as he never knew that the Sharingan could control the most powerful Bijuu.

"So my clan's very own bloodline limit has the hidden ability to command the great Kyuubi! I just have to find out how it's done!" Sasuke said excitedly, but as he continued reading, he learned that Madara ended up losing when Shodai reclaimed control over the Kyuubi and Shodai killed Madara.

While Sasuke disliked that Madara betrayed his clan, he admired and envied the power Madara had and wanted to find out how he could become as strong as him since according to the journal Madara was the most powerful Uchiha in history to this day and he could control the Kyuubi. Sasuke was pleased to learn that as he wondered about the limitless possibilities there were for him if he could find a way to control the Kyuubi himself. However, a reminder coursed through his thoughts: the Kyuubi was sealed inside Naruto. Sasuke growled remembering Kakashi saying that only an Uzumaki could handle the raw power of the Kyuubi's chakra. It made him feel insulted, being told that Naruto could handle containing such incredible power while saying he, Sasuke, would die in less than two days from being overwhelmed by its potent chakra.

Shaking that thought off, Sasuke looked through the journal for more information to see if there was anything about Uchiha Madara being able to control the Kyuubi while it was already sealed inside someone. He kept searching for a few minutes until he found nothing on that topic. He had only found out about Madara's battle against the Shodai Hokage and discovered that after their battle at the Valley of the End, Uzumaki Mito used her abilities to seal the captured Kyuubi inside her since the Shodai had found the Bijuu too dangerous to allow it to remain free any further. He wasn't pleased to see this, but he figured that perhaps Madara never got a chance to try controlling a Jinchuuriki since the Kyuubi was still free before his death and Mito did become the Kyuubi's first Jinchuuriki just after Madara died. With that in mind, Sasuke began looking for the information on how Madara could control the Kyuubi.

Maybe he used a Sharingan jutsu or some type of special genjutsu to control the Kyuubi, Sasuke thought before he found what he wanted in one of the scrolls, but what he read froze him in shock: The power to control the Kyuubi could only be achieved through the Mangekyou Sharingan, which Madara had. Sasuke gritted his teeth in anger at reading that as his mind flashed back to Itachi who unlocked his Mangekyou Sharingan. He recalled Itachi's words to him that night after slaughtering the Uchiha clan: "In order to obtain the Mangekyou Sharingan, you must kill your closest friend."

"Damn it!" Sasuke cursed as he slammed his fists down on the desk in frustration. The price to pay for such a power was indeed severe and traumatic. And as far as Sasuke knew, he had no one he looked at as his closest friend and not even Hinata was that close to him in spite of the romantic interest he has in her. And even if she was he wouldn't want to kill her just to obtain that power because it would defeat his purpose in trying to persuade and have her become his girlfriend and future wife who would become the new matriarch of the Uchiha clan and help him restore his clan back to its glory.

"There must be another way! I'm sure Itachi wasn't wasn't telling me the whole truth! I don't want to achieve this power by following his method!" Sasuke growled as he continued looking through scrolls and books containing the history behind the Sharingan.
