Seeing Sasuke so awkward, Yoruha was quite serious and earnest. "I'm serious, don't think I'm joking with you. I support your revenge, but you also need to consider the continuation of the Uchiha clan. Do you really want the Uchiha clan to be completely wiped out in your generation?"
Sasuke's face turned red with embarrassment, and he turned his head away, not daring to meet Yoruha's eyes. "I-I'm not at that age yet, I don't need to think about it." Yoruha replied, "True, but since you don't have any descendants yet, I suggest you don't seek revenge against Uchiha Itachi. If you lose, there's a high chance your clan will be completely annihilated."
"Do you think with Uchiha Itachi's personality, someone who could wipe out the entire clan, he would care about the Uchiha lineage?" "So before you challenge Itachi, ensure the continuation of your clan's bloodline. After that, whether you win or lose against Itachi, the Uchiha clan will still be preserved." "Even if you lose, your children can inherit your will and continue seeking revenge."
"Isn't that much better than relying solely on yourself for revenge?" Sasuke's mouth twitched slightly. He hadn't expected Yoruha to think so far ahead.
"What nonsense are you talking about, about passing on descendants? I'm not at that age yet." "Besides, I want to rely on my own hands for revenge, not on others." Yoruha shook his head, "Your thinking is flawed."
"You need to understand that not everything can be achieved by yourself. Having descendants means leaving a backup plan; your descendants are your reserves." "Moreover, only with descendants can the Uchiha clan be passed down." "If the Uchiha clan is completely wiped out, what good is revenge even if you succeed?"
"Do you think your parents would want such a thing to happen?" "Your father was the head of the Uchiha clan. As his son, you are now the head of the Uchiha clan, and you should consider your clan, not just yourself." "If you can't ensure the continuation of the Uchiha clan, do you think your father would want to see that happen?"
"And as the clan leader, you would be severely neglecting your duties." Yoruha's words left Sasuke's mind in a whirl. No one had ever talked to him about these things before, and he had never considered these issues himself.
But he knew Yoruha was right. His father was indeed the head of the Uchiha clan. His brother had slaughtered the entire clan, leaving only him.
Didn't that automatically make him the clan leader? Shouldn't he be considering the Uchiha clan's legacy? Compared to the continuation of the Uchiha clan, revenge seemed like something that could be postponed; it wasn't as important as preserving the clan's bloodline.
He had been too stubborn before, never thinking about these issues. Remembering how his father had once brought him to the shrine and the respect the clan members had shown him.
And the pride his clan members had in the Uchiha clan during gatherings. If he couldn't continue the Uchiha legacy, even if he avenged them, would his parents be disappointed? Just thinking about his father's disappointed gaze...
Sasuke was conflicted. Yoruha was also a bit puzzled. He said those things only to hope that Sasuke wouldn't be so hasty in his actions and that his thoughts wouldn't be so extreme.
The more anxious and extreme he was, the more trouble it would cause in the future. It was clear that if something happened to Sasuke, Kakashi would ask him to handle it. To prevent such things from happening, Yoruha could only advise Sasuke to delay his revenge and hone his skills.
This way, when Sasuke finally sought revenge, he would surely succeed, and Yoruha wouldn't have to clean up the mess left behind. If possible, he hoped Sasuke wouldn't defect, because Yoruha didn't want to personally bring him back. Yoruha just wanted his future life to be a bit more peaceful and stable, without so many troublesome matters.
But seeing Sasuke seriously contemplating was unexpected. He never thought Sasuke would actually listen. He knew that Sasuke's thoughts were very extreme.
For years, his mind was filled with revenge, never considering anything else. Unexpectedly, Sasuke was really pondering his words.
It was truly surprising. Yoruha didn't even consider that if he weren't around, who would Sasuke have by his side according to the original storyline? How could those people possibly say the things Yoruha just did?
What did the Uchiha clan's legacy have to do with them? Even Kakashi wouldn't say those things to Sasuke. After all, while Kakashi did care more about Sasuke, their interactions weren't deep. Sasuke was simply more suited to learning Kakashi's ninjutsu, so Kakashi taught him, and that was the extent of their relationship.
They never really had deep conversations. Later, with Naruto's influence, Sasuke went to extremes, and no one truly had a heartfelt talk with him. Although Yoruha's words were indeed just nonsense,
they did make Sasuke realize that there were more important things to do besides revenge. Most importantly, after spending time together, Yoruha had become someone Sasuke could trust, a friend he could confide in. He felt that although Yoruha wasn't part of their team, Yoruha genuinely cared for him.
In his heart, Yoruha was different from Kakashi, Naruto, and Sakura. Naturally, Yoruha's words carried a different weight for him. If Yoruha knew what Sasuke was thinking, he would surely feel embarrassed.
He really was just spouting nonsense to avoid Sasuke causing trouble for him. After a long while, Sasuke finally looked up and said seriously to Yoruha, "Yoruha, you're right. I was indeed too irrational before. Avenging my parents and clan is very important, but as the last remaining bloodline of the Uchiha clan, I must ensure its legacy continues.
"Otherwise, even if I kill Itachi, it would be meaningless." Yoruha didn't speak for a long time, looking at Sasuke with a very surprised expression. But Sasuke thought Yoruha was very pleased with him.
This made him feel even more certain about his thoughts. In fact, Yoruha was just shocked that Sasuke so easily agreed with him. He wondered if he had somehow developed Naruto's talk-no-jutsu.
But these words were just made up on the spot; he never thought Sasuke would accept them. Seeing Yoruha not speaking, Sasuke patted his arm and said earnestly, "Thank you, Yoruha. You made me realize how extreme I was before. Without you, I would have made many mistakes." Yoruha's mouth twitched slightly, feeling a bit awkward, he said, "No, no, I just think you have more important things to do."
Sasuke didn't notice Yoruha's awkwardness and replied seriously, "Yes, I will. I won't recklessly seek revenge until I've ensured the clan's legacy and have the absolute strength to defeat him." Yoruha didn't say anything, just gave an awkward smile. Sakura, on the side, noticed Sasuke's blushing face. She understood the meaning behind Yoruha and Sasuke's conversation.
She felt her chance had come. Meanwhile, Naruto was still clueless, scratching his head in frustration, "What are you guys talking about? What's all this about legacy or not?
It's so annoying, why can't you just explain it clearly?"
