Chapter 2 - Chapter 2

Sean smiled after he felt that he could sense his arm again, he looked gratefully at Tsunade.

"Since you were kind to me, I won't lie to you, someone leaked our information to Hanzō of the Salamander…"

"What!? Are you sure?..."

"After thinking about it for a long time, I'm 80 percent sure, no, 99 percent that someone leaked our information to the Rain ninja. They set up an ambush for us prepared with many traps, not to mention that their number was in the hundreds under the leadership of their leader Hanzō. It looked as if they were waiting for us…"

"The one who leaked the information most likely has a high position that allows him to know the village's secret information…"

Sean wanted to say more and tell Tsunade that Danzō Shimura might be behind this matter, but he forced himself to swallow those words. He did not have any proof, anything he said now might be used against him.

The Tsunade in front of him was different from the Tsunade he saw from behind the screen. Currently she was only 19 or 20, she had no idea about the darkness of Konohagakure. He had no idea what her reaction would be if he told her that he suspected Danzō, one of the elders of Konoha village, a disciple of the Second Hokage.

Tsunade stared with a frown at Sean's pale face trying to figure out whether he was lying. Being the only survivor, he could say anything to clear himself.

Tsunade stood up from the ground and dusted herself off. "I don't know whether you are telling the truth, but don't worry, I will report this matter to Commander Danzō and he will help you achieve justice…"

"Justice!?" Sean let out a mocking laugh. "If I were an ordinary person your words would be more optimistic and believable, but…"

"I am from the Uchiha Clan…" he said the last part bitterly.

Tsunade frowned, this man was speaking mysteriously, what did he mean by those words. She wanted to ask but she saw him close his eyes to rest and it seemed that he would not speak more than that.

After he felt that she had left, Sean opened his eyes and looked at the prison bars. When he regained consciousness he had thought about all possible scenarios, but most of them had one result, which was defection.

If he wanted to prove his innocence he either had to have witnesses or undergo interrogation. The first option was impossible, he did not think anyone survived except him. You must know that if he had not awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan at the last moment he would have died as well, so the first option was excluded. That left the second option.

Interrogation, not a normal interrogation that includes torture to obtain information, but an interrogation involving a member of the Yamanaka Clan. This meant that a Yamanaka clan member could browse his thoughts and memories like flipping through the pages of a book. And this was something Sean would never accept. The greatest thing he possessed now besides the Mangekyo Sharingan was knowledge of the future.

He had another option, which was proving that someone had indeed leaked the information. He had dismissed this idea the moment it appeared. That dog Danzō most likely left no trace, not to mention that Sean until now was not sure whether Danzō was truly the one who betrayed them.

"Hmmm, then defection is the only way, but…" Sean remembered that his family still existed in Konoha. If he wanted to defect he had to take them with him, who knew if Konoha's leadership would stoop so low and use them as a bargaining chip.

Despite recovering memories of another life, he did not fall into an existential crisis, instead he calmly accepted his current reality. His memories and feelings of 19 years in this world were not fake.

"First I need to think of how to escape from here without being discovered, not before I sneak into Konoha and take my parents and my siblings out…"

"If I move at my maximum speed I can reach there in only two days, then by using the Mangekyo ability I can infiltrate inside Konoha without attracting the attention of the barrier team…"

Sean touched his right eye and smiled. The ability of his right eye reminded him of both the Rinnegan ability of Sasuke Uchiha and the power of Law's devil fruit from One Piece.

His ability allowed him to release a domain whose size depended on the consumption of eye energy. Inside this domain he gained absolute control over space, but the consumption was terrible in every sense of the word. He had a feeling he could use this ability only three or four times before losing his sight from the exhaustion of the eye's energy.

"The problem lies in where I can go after I defect. I do not want to remain wandering. Sooner or later it will be discovered that I possess these eyes, and then I will face pursuit from all forces out of greed for my eyes…"

Sean closed his eyes and summoned the map of this world in his mind and began to determine his options.

Suddenly he opened his eyes which had now become red eyes with three tomoe slowly spinning around their center.

"Since you are here, stop playing hide and seek. Danzō Shimura sent you, didn't he?"

Sean slowly stood up from the ground while his eyes remained fixed on the masked man who appeared in front of his cell. When he saw the Root member before him Sean was now certain that Danzō was the one who leaked the information. He clenched his teeth in anger when he remembered Noji's sacrifice, but he quickly forced himself to calm down. He could take revenge at any time, but now it was better to deal with the situation before him.

Without speaking, the Root member in front of him raised his hand toward Sean and released many insects.

Sean's eyes shrank unconsciously when he saw those insects. "A member of the Aburame Clan, I remember that Danzō has a dangerous member from this clan who can control insects at the nanometer level…"

Without hesitation Sean extracted all the chakra he could. The tomoe inside his eyes began to spin very fast before they started to merge and form a circle surrounding a black dot connected with nine black lines.

"OmnivoidField…"

Without hesitation Sean activated the ability of his right eye.

Whoosh!!

He disappeared from his place with a spatial jump, then appeared out of nowhere behind the Root member. His hand pierced through his back as if it did not exist, and when he pulled it out there was a heart covered in blood in his hand.

"Ughh… the energy consumption is exaggerated…" Sean panted slightly, holding his right eye which was bleeding.
