Naruto: I wrote in my diary that I exposed the Otsutsuki's arrival.

Chapter 68 Defection time and time again, Sasuke with three surnames?

"The Konoha Collapse Plan failed, but it took Sasuke away. Then came Sasuke three years later, and then Sasuke with the Mangekyou Sharingan. That's roughly the process. I just don't know when the Akatsuki leader will finally wipe out the village." Kakashi Hatake scribbled on a piece of paper.

Even for the sake of Konoha, he had to keep the person, because Konoha desperately needed such a powerful ninja in the future.

Yes, in Kakashi Hatake's eyes, Sasuke Uchiha in the future would be considered a powerful ninja. Three years later, his strength should surpass that of Kakashi Hatake, who is not currently at his peak. After awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan, he would become a fully-fledged Kage-level powerhouse.

This person is clearly a member of Konoha, and shouldn't be pushed away. Besides, he wants revenge, he wants to avenge his brother. Akatsuki can help him, Orochimaru can help him, so why can't Konoha Village help him?

It's not too late!

However, the person who stopped Sasuke looked familiar; he was sure he had seen him somewhere before. So, Kakashi Hatake drew him on his blank sheet of paper, intending to look for information about him in the archives later.

"The world three years from now will be filled with disasters."

Kakashi Hatake sighed, but he was used to dealing with all sorts of problems and troubles; this was just another one.

"Me three years from now?" Uchiha Sasuke looked at the white-clad Sasuke in the picture. No wonder Kitahara Kaede had always complained that he was Sunny Sasuke, but he also said that he had never suffered a loss during the time when he was the white-clad Sasuke.

He is still young and cannot comprehend why he imagines himself to be so bitter and resentful, or even capable of attacking his companions without hesitation.

No wonder that later, during his Mangekyou Sharingan era, when facing his teammate, that girl, his future self could stab her without hesitation.

He remembered what his older brother, Itachi Uchiha, had told him that night: if he wanted revenge, he would need to have eyes like Itachi's, but that would require killing his closest comrade-in-arms.

But he doesn't want to obtain such power in this way. Isn't there any other way?

The fact that my future self in white robes could achieve such strength, even easily defeating several Jonin-level experts, suggests that there are other paths to take.

But what if this other path involves joining Orochimaru's side?

Orochimaru definitely coveted the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan. Sasuke Uchiha knew this very well. He didn't believe in love or hate without a reason. Orochimaru's concern for him and his statement that he would definitely follow in Orochimaru's footsteps meant that Orochimaru had something to gain from him.

Aside from his Sharingan, he honestly didn't have anything else that outsiders would covet.

He had always thought that he could give up everything, even his own life, for revenge, let alone a pair of Sharingan eyes, but now he hesitated.

Because he didn't trust Orochimaru at all, and even the future version of himself in the video probably knew this very well, he never had a good attitude towards Orochimaru.

Even so, Orochimaru tolerated it all.

What was the real secret of that night? Besides Itachi Uchiha, Danzo Shimura wasn't a good person either. What kind of shady information was involved?

Sasuke Uchiha is currently in a state of turmoil because there are too many paths in front of him. Besides staying in Konoha, he can also choose to follow Orochimaru, or even rely on the Akatsuki organization. Although he doesn't know why his future self would be connected with them, since it is a choice made by his future self, there must be some factors that are beneficial to him.

If a person has no choice but to follow one path to the end, then there is nothing to hesitate about; just follow that path to the end. But what if many paths appear in the future?

Even if every option seems to have a bright future, how should you choose?

Clearly, following Konoha is the right path, not only for oneself, but also for the ideal of reviving the Uchiha clan. It is the best path.

Even in terms of training strength, it's not like Konoha hasn't produced top-tier ninjas before. In the decades since Konoha was founded, every generation has produced exceptionally talented ninjas, which shows that Konoha has always had a way of cultivating top-tier ninjas.

Even Kakashi Hatake now is someone I can't even come close to.

It's just that it's full of uncertainties.

As for the other two paths, one was to join Orochimaru's side, which is the so-called "white-robed self" period. His strength had probably already surpassed that of his teacher, Kakashi Hatake, and all of this only took three years.

And what about himself, who was involved with the Akatsuki? He went even further, gaining the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan. This was a path that had already been proven viable.

However, this would completely prevent the Uchiha clan from being revitalized.

Furthermore, based on some of his decisions during his Mangekyou Sharingan era, he was able to deduce certain things. Regardless of what Orochimaru intended for him, it was clear that he had not succeeded.

The video revealed at the end that, for some reason, the Akatsuki members seem to be hunting Orochimaru. He doesn't know the reason, but we can conclude that the Akatsuki and Orochimaru are enemies.

During his white-robed period, he was supposed to be aligned with Orochimaru, but later, during the Mangekyou Sharingan period, he clearly reunited with the Akatsuki members, meaning he defected.

After defecting from the village once, he defected again to Orochimaru's side.

Orochimaru's schemes against him failed, and Orochimaru not only greatly improved his strength, but also obtained the Mangekyou Sharingan before or after his betrayal.

It's a righteous path, though its future is uncertain, but it can revitalize the Uchiha clan and fulfill their parents' expectations.

The latter path is a wicked one; once you embark on it, there's no turning back, let alone restoring the glory of the Uchiha clan. However, the benefits are real: it guarantees Kage-level strength, ensuring that future revenge will be no problem.

First kill Itachi, then kill Shimura Danzo.

That would be perfect, with revenge!

But then you'd just become a vengeful demon, the kind who'd even stab his own teammates in the back. Would that still be human?

For a moment, Sasuke Uchiha fell into deep thought, unsure of what choice to make.
