The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 777 Spiritual Transformation

in the hospital.

"Sasuke, how did you get so badly injured?"

When Naruto learned that Sasuke was hospitalized, he rushed over to visit him.

When Konoha was attacked, he and Hinata were out rescuing people and had no idea what was happening in the clan's territory.

Of course, even if Naruto is there, Chiyo will try to get him out of the way.

Sasuke felt a warmth in his heart when he saw Naruto's concerned gaze.

"It's alright. Someone infiltrated the tribe, but I'm fine, aren't I?"

Naruto looked at Sasuke's hands, which were wrapped up like a rice dumpling.

"You said you were fine, so why is your hand bandaged up like this?"

Sasuke wouldn't say that his hand was broken, otherwise Naruto would probably make a huge fuss.

"It's nothing, just a burn. It'll heal in no time."

As he spoke, Sasuke adopted a cheerful expression and changed the subject:

"Naruto, I have awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan."

He then activated his Mangekyou Sharingan to show Naruto.

Naruto's attention was quickly diverted: "Ah, really? That's great!"

He looked Sasuke up and down at his Mangekyou Sharingan: "Then you will become a master like Lord Chiyo."

Sasuke nodded slightly, a determined look flashing in his eyes.

Now that my father and brother have lost their Mangekyou Sharingan, the family will have to rely on me!

Naruto talked to Sasuke for a while, and seeing that Sasuke was a little tired, he left first.

Sasuke also drifted off to sleep.

However, he slept very restlessly, constantly having dreams.

In his dreams, all he saw was Itachi lying in front of him, his eyes gouged out, and him reaching out but unable to touch him.

"Ah...!" Sasuke sat up, covered in sweat.

At that moment, he saw a figure sitting by the bed. After looking closely, he realized it was Qian Yao.

Moreover, Qianyao's hair has turned completely white.

"Master...your hair...what happened to it?"

Sasuke was shocked and quickly asked:

Qian Yao shook his head, his face expressionless, and offered no explanation regarding the hair.

"Itachi and Fugaku have been saved. I'll take you to see them."

Sasuke's spirits lifted, and he quickly got out of bed and put on his clothes.

However, some of his attention was still drawn to Chiyo's hair.

Sasuke's memory is perfectly fine; Gaara died when Shukaku was extracted from him.

Later, he was saved by his master, whose hair was also like this.

That's a sign of a massive loss of vitality.

Now that my brother and father have been saved, my master is in this state again.

So, Master...

Sasuke felt a pang of guilt, followed by a deep sense of remorse for blaming his master after waking up.

I deserve to die!

"Let's go once we're all packed up."

Qianyao didn't say much to Sasuke, and walked ahead after Sasuke was dressed.

Sasuke walked behind Chiyo, looking somewhat dejected.

Watching the gray hair sway behind Chiyo, Sasuke's joy at his father and brother's resurrection was completely overshadowed.

The distance from the hospital to Orochimaru's laboratory was not far, and within minutes Chiyo had brought Sasuke underground.

At this moment, both Fugaku and Itachi fell into a deep sleep, breathing evenly.

Sasuke looked at Fugaku, then at Itachi, and his eyes quickly reddened.

I felt touched, and I felt fortunate...

Qianyao whispered from the side, "They were badly injured. They just received treatment and are asleep now."

Both of them had bandages wrapped around their eyes, but Qianyao still coaxed them:

“We Uchiha have the eyes of our clansmen who died in battle, so let’s replace them with these first.”

Sasuke knelt down beside Itachi's bed, stroking Itachi's hand, and large tears fell down his cheeks.

There was regret, and also self-loathing for one's own incompetence.

Feeling Sasuke's touch, Itachi's fingers twitched, and he weakly asked, "Is that Sasuke?"

Sasuke quickly wiped away his tears and choked out, "Nii-san, it's me."

After a few seconds of silence, Itachi slowly said:

"I heard from my senior that you already have the Mangekyou Sharingan."

"very nice……"

"Waaah..."

Sasuke's tears, which he had just wiped away, welled up again, and he kept apologizing:

"I'm sorry, Nii-san, I'm so sorry... It's all because of me..."

Itachi reached out and stroked Sasuke's hair, saying gently:

"Silly girl, why are you crying? It's a good thing that you've awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan."

"Sasuke, you are my pride..."

If Itachi praised Sasuke like that normally, Sasuke would jump for joy.

But at this moment, Sasuke felt as if he were being pierced by a thousand arrows.

Although awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan is a good thing, the awakening of my own Mangekyou Sharingan was achieved at the cost of my father's and brother's Mangekyou Sharingan and their two lives.

Sasuke cried like a child, desperately wiping away the tears that wouldn't stop.

Itachi patted Sasuke's hair: "Don't cry, Sasuke. From now on, only you can protect your brother."

Sasuke covered his mouth, trying hard to control his emotions, and gave a heavy "Mmm": "Brother! I'll protect you from now on!"

"Alright, Itachi needs to rest. Let's come see him again next time."

Seeing that things were going well, Chiyo, whose lips were practically curled into a smirk, tugged at Sasuke.

Sasuke stood up, just as he was about to check on Fugaku, when Chiyo subtly reached out and wiped away Sasuke's tears, then tapped Fugaku twice with his other hand.

By the time he stepped aside, Fugaku had already adjusted his facial expression and was sleeping peacefully.

Sasuke whispered to Itachi, "Brother, I'll come see you again next time."

Chiyo said from the side, "Don't come here. Itachi and Fugaku will be fine soon. Next time, watch them from outside."

Itachi's voice came through: "It's alright, Sasuke, we'll see each other again soon."

Sasuke replied, "I understand. Well then, Nii-san, I'll be going now."

After waving his hand, Itachi seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.

Chiyo also took this opportunity to leave with Sasuke.

After the two left, Itachi suddenly asked, "Father, aren't you going to talk to Sasuke?"

Fugaku remained silent for a moment before speaking, "Sasuke is a good boy..."

"But I was afraid I would laugh out loud just now..."

……

After Sasuke came out with Chiyo, he had already composed himself.

Whether it was his master, his brother, or his father, they all quietly cared for him, protected him, and silently provided him with a safe haven.

I can't let my brother down!

Sasuke's eyes shone with determination; in that instant, he felt the weight of responsibility on his shoulders.

Life is full of ups and downs, and people mature quickly afterward.

After this incident, Sasuke's mindset was completely different.

"Master..."

Upon hearing Sasuke's voice, Chiyo turned his head.

Sasuke said earnestly, "I'm not familiar with the Mangekyou Sharingan yet. Can you guide me in training the Susanoo, Master?"

Chiyo keenly noticed the difference in Sasuke's mental state and felt relieved.

However, a faint smile graced his face.

"Activating Susanoo is quite painful."
