Border of the Country of Grass.

In a dark cave, there is a wooden bed standing inside.

A candlestick hung on the corner of the rock wall, and the faint light of the candle illuminated the situation inside the cave.

But it only illuminates a few meters of the bed inside.

The candlelight swayed in the wind, flickering between bright and dark, as if it was going to go out at any moment.

Lying on the bed was a black-haired boy, his upper body was naked, and his whole body was covered with bandages. His eyes were closed tightly, and his face was full of fear and pain.

"Go away...don't come here...go away!!!"

The boy seemed to be having an extremely terrible nightmare.

He kept talking about Nani and suddenly sat up from the bed, his face covered with beads of sweat.

"Itachi...is he dead?"

Not seeing the terrifying scene in the dream, the young man gradually felt relieved.

He raised his hands and looked at them.

Seeing these white bandages wrapped around his body, his eyes were full of doubts.

"What the hell is this place?"

Sasuke was full of doubts.

After seeing Itachi fall, his tight string completely relaxed.

After that, he fell into a coma and was unaware of everything.

He turned around and looked around.

Apart from seeing the rock walls around the bed, one can guess that this is a cave.

The rest was completely dark, and nothing more could be seen.

"Are you finally awake? Sasuke!"

Da~~da~~da~~

A slightly cold and arrogant male voice sounded.

Accompanying it was the sound of slight footsteps.

Sasuke's eyes were full of doubts. This voice was very unfamiliar to him. He had never dealt with such a person before.

He stared straight into the darkness until the man with the orange threaded mask came to stand in front of the bed.

Sasuke was still confused: "Where is this place? Did you save me?"

Two questions were thrown at the masked man in a row, and Sasuke's eyes were full of wariness.

It was impossible for Sasuke to trust this strange guy in front of him.

The masked man nodded: "Ah~~, this is one of Akatsuki's bases. Don't worry, it's safe here."

"At that time, that bastard Kabuto tried to take you and Itachi away, but I successfully stopped him."

"Kabuto took me and Itachi away?" Sasuke was still full of questions, and was a little confused by what the masked man said.

In the past few years, Kabuto has basically not violated Sasuke's words.

Although the two have spent the past three years together as partners.

But we are all smart people, and we all know very well that we do not regard each other as trustworthy partners.

Sasuke wanted to gain strength from Miyako.

Whether it's Orochimaru's shedding technique, or the enhanced control over the form of the curse seal, or the celestial magic practice of Ryūchi Cave.

It can be said that the skills that Sasuke has mastered in the past three years are all thanks to the help of Kabuto Yakushi, and he has achieved his current achievements.

As for what Kabuto Yakushi wanted from Sasuke, Sasuke didn't know.

He just knew that Kabuto Yakushi must have some purpose.

But Sasuke didn't care at all, as long as he could increase his strength and kill Itachi, it was enough.

But when I think of the time when I used the power of the immortal before.

The Heavenly Curse Seal on his body actually burst out with such strange power.

Without even knowing when Orochimaru was hidden in his body, Sasuke couldn't help but feel a chill running down his back.

"It seems that Kabuto guy had this plan early on. He wants to use my body to resurrect Orochimaru..."

Sasuke murmured to himself, and subconsciously raised his hand to touch his neck.

Sasuke felt a little relieved when he found that the cold tingling feeling disappeared, and the curse seal also disappeared.

The masked man said calmly: "What's wrong? Are you still worried about the curse seal? I already checked it when I helped you heal your injury. Don't worry, the curse seal is completely gone!"

"Why did you save me? Who are you?" Sasuke frowned and looked at the masked man and asked.

The masked man smiled lightly: "My name is Madara Uchiha. I used to be a member of the Uchiha clan just like you."

Sasuke's face was full of confusion: "Madara? Are you kidding me? Isn't Madara dead?"

The masked man said: "Ah~~, according to time calculation, I should indeed be dead, but I survived in another way, and founded the Akatsuki organization to complete a unique event."

As he spoke, the masked man raised his palm and touched his mask.

The mask was gently taken off by him, but only half of his face was exposed. Sasuke suddenly felt that he was losing control of his body.

A large amount of chakra gathered towards the right eye, and the pupil power condensed rapidly.

The black pupils turned into bright red, and the three magatama rotated rapidly in the pupils, transforming into flower-shaped magatama.

"This is...Amaterasu?"

The masked man looked shocked and was about to run away.

But unfortunately, his action was still a step too late.

A line of blood and tears flowed from Sasuke's lower eyelids, and his eye-jutsu ability was activated instantly.

"Ah~~~"

Black flames appeared on the masked man's body.

He let out a scream and fled into the dark space of the cave and disappeared.

"Huh~~huh~~~, what on earth is going on?"

Sasuke held the bed with one hand and covered his right eye with the other, breathing heavily.

This damaged body has not yet fully recovered.

Using Amaterasu under such a premise is still a bit too heavy a burden for him.

But compared to these, the doubts in Sasuke's heart made him even more uneasy.

Why did Itachi's Amaterasu ability appear on him?

Why does the pupil ability activate uncontrollably and autonomously?

Too many things had happened in the past few days, so much that Sasuke's brain was about to explode.

"I really didn't expect that that guy Itachi actually had such a back-up plan!"

The masked man's voice sounded again.

As he stepped out of the darkness, an arm covered in black flames fell to the ground with a thud.

"You're not dead?..."

Sasuke looked slightly shocked.

I thought the masked man would be dead after being hit.

But he still walked out unharmed, and he didn't seem to be in pain about a broken arm.

It seems that no one in Akatsuki is simple.

"Such a small trick can't kill me, but Itachi actually wants to protect you so much, it really surprises me."

The masked man said lightly.

"Itachi protects me? What do you mean?" Sasuke frowned, already feeling a little angry.

The masked man mentioned Itachi many times, but he also said good things about Itachi.

And he acted like he knew everything, which made Sasuke feel very irritated.
