"Let's leave first."
The black-robed figure spoke.
Sasuke tossed Danzo's head to the black-robed figure, but as soon as the head was near them, it vanished into thin air.
Sasuke didn't question it further. He leapt out of the pit and followed the black-robed figure, leaving Konoha and hiding in the forest outside the village.
Bang!
A wooden barrel suddenly appeared in front of the black-robed figure, and in the barrel was green hot water, which is the healing medicine that had previously given Sasuke an almost euphoric feeling.
"I'll extract the memories. You recover your injuries."
The black-robed figure said indifferently.
Sasuke nodded, and, after tearing off his bloodstained, torn clothing, stepped into the barrel to enjoy the medicinal bath.
After soaking for a while, Sasuke's injuries began healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Not only that, his Chakra was also recovering rapidly.
'It seemed that the small green pill I had taken earlier and the green liquid in the bucket shared similar medicinal properties.'
'Too bad I didn't have the black pill this time. Otherwise, my Sharingan, which strained from overuse, could also have been restored.'
"Hiss!"
Just as he thought about his eyes, a sharp pain shot through them, and the muscles around his eyes began to twitch.
Seeing this, the black-robed figure tossed him a black pill.
Sasuke caught it and realized it was the same type of pill he had taken a few days ago.
He hadn't expected that such a powerful eye-healing medicine still existed. The black-robed figure actually gave it to him without hesitation, which was truly generous.
Sasuke immediately swallowed the black pill.
It dissolved instantly in his mouth, releasing a wave of coolness that rose toward his eyes, soothing the overworked muscles.
Once the cool sensation faded, Sasuke's eyes were fully restored to their original state.
"Thank you!"
Sasuke murmured.
His gratitude wasn't just for the valuable medicine, as it was also for the black-robed figure's Sealing Technique.
When he first planned to ambush Danzo, his biggest concern had been how to carry out the attack.
After all, causing a commotion in Konoha would have quickly attracted many Shinobi, far more than Sasuke could handle alone.
It was thanks to the black-robed figure's Sealing Technique that Danzo's residence had been fully sealed, allowing the battle to proceed without drawing attention from anyone.
Sasuke had received so much help from the black-robed figure that he couldn't even begin to repay him.
After more than an hour in the medicinal bath, Sasuke's body had fully recovered, and the black-robed figure also brought good news.
"I've finished analyzing the memories. There's a lot of interesting information."
The black-robed figure's voice, which was usually so stoic, carried an uncommon hint of emotion.
"As someone from Konoha's upper ranks, Danzo must have known many of the village's secrets, but right now, I only care about the Uchiha Clan, about Itachi. Please, tell me everything you know." Sasuke said, his fists clenched in anxiety.
"Put on your clothes first and calm down. Getting too emotional won't do you any good." The black-robed figure replied.
Suddenly, a matching black cloak appeared in front of Sasuke.
Sasuke was intrigued by this ability to summon objects from a distance. It seemed to be a form of Space-Time Ninjutsu, which is highly practical.
He put on the black robe, and surprisingly, it fit perfectly, 'It seemed that this person and me were of similar height and build.'
Moreover, as soon as the cloak settled on his shoulders, a cold, unfamiliar voice unexpectedly echoed in Sasuke's mind.
[Do you want to change your voice?]
"Who?"
Sasuke was startled.
The black-robed figure explained, "You can think of it as the voice of the robe."
"The sound of the robe?"
Sasuke was confused, but trying to imitate the voice, he answered, "Change my voice!"
[Voice changed successfully.]
"That's it? It changed?" Sasuke asked, still puzzled.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he froze.
His question, when spoken, had been transformed into a voice that was neither masculine nor feminine, just like the black-robed figure's voice.
'Wow, this robe is so strong.'
"Does this robe have other functions? Can it conceal one's presence and hide one's appearance, like you?"
Sasuke inquired.
If he could use these two abilities, it would be easier for him to launch surprise attacks in the future. After all, even if his Sharingan couldn't see through the cloak, so how many people could? He believed that not even Itachi, who also possessed a Mangekyo Sharingan, could likely detect him.
The black-robed figure said, "Of course. Besides the functions you mentioned, there are others. You can simply ask the cloak in your mind, and it will answer you."
"This is amazing!"
Sasuke exclaimed with excitement. Though the robe itself had no offensive capabilities, its auxiliary functions were incredibly powerful. Combined with a Shinobi's abilities, it was flawless. It could be said that this was the perfect tool for a Shinobi!
"Hiss!"
Sasuke took a deep breath, trying to calm his racing heart.
The robe was fantastic, and he was deeply grateful to the black-robed figure. However, with so many debts owed, Sasuke began to feel a little indifferent.
But he could just study the robe further later. Right now, Sasuke was more focused on the information Danzo held.
This would decide how many enemies Sasuke had and who he needed to take revenge on!
After a moment, Sasuke calmed himself and said, "I've calmed now. Can you tell me everything?"
"I don't know how much information you have, so I'll share everything Danzo knew."
After the black-robed figure thought for a moment, he said, "Danzo was originally the Nidaime Hokage's student, and he inherited many extreme beliefs, one of which was about the Uchiha Clan. He believed the Uchiha Clan were a cursed clan, an unstable factor that needed to be closely monitored. Moreover, he viewed the Sharingan as a dangerous Kekkei Genkai."
"Because of this, he colluded with members of the Akatsuki and used the fact that the Mangekyo Sharingan controlled the Kyubi to frame the Uchiha Clan, which led to the rift between them and Konoha. This also indirectly forced the Uchiha Clan to rebel. The planning of the coup was led by Uchiha Fugaku. When Danzo learned of this, he blackmailed Itachi, who was then in the Anbu, to wipe out the entire Uchiha Clan. After much internal conflict, Itachi, who loved peace, chose Konoha over his family. For the sake of the village's peace, he exterminated the Uchiha Clan."
Upon hearing this, Sasuke gnashed his teeth with hatred, "Danzo! I never would have thought he was the true mastermind. If I had known, I wouldn't have let him die so easily!"
He had thought that Danzo was just one of the higher-ups who arranged the Uchiha massacre. But to his shock, Danzo was actually the true instigator. From start to finish, it was Danzo who had manipulated everything that led to the tragic events of the Uchiha Clan.
Thud!
Suddenly, Danzo's severed head appeared in front of the black-robed figure.
Seeing his enemy once more, Sasuke was consumed by rage. He kicked and stomped on Danzo's head furiously.
"Dammit! You bastard! It's all your fault!" Sasuke shouted furiously.
Unfortunately, Danzo was already dead, leaving Sasuke with no chance to get the revenge he so deeply desired.
After a while, Sasuke paused and turned to the black-robed figure, "Sorry, but could you put him away? I want to kick him at least once every day. Is that okay?"
Each kick wasn't for his own vengeance but for his clan's members who had died due to Danzo's schemes!
"Sure!"
The black-robed figure waved his hand and Danzo's head disappeared again.
Taking a deep breath, Sasuke then asked, "But if Danzo ordered the extermination of the clan, why did Itachi let me go?"
The black-robed figure chuckled again, "This is the part I found most interesting..."
