Chapter 131 The Masked Man's Identity
“That guy is stronger than the other Akatsuki members,” August commented objectively. “More importantly, his ability is related to space, which is very special and very powerful.”
A spatial ability? Sasuke was slightly taken aback, a strange feeling flashing through his mind.
Is it a coincidence? One of the abilities of his Sharingan is also related to space.
"Spatial abilities?" Orochimaru raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but say, "In the many years of ninja history, only the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju and the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze have mastered space-time related ninjutsu, such as the Flying Thunder God Technique."
"Moreover, as far as I know, even the Flying Thunder God Technique cannot inflict such damage on the Three-Tails. Otherwise, Minato Namikaze would not have sacrificed his life to seal the Nine-Tails. Heh heh."
These words, coming from Orochimaru, who possesses exceptionally broad knowledge and vision, are highly convincing.
“Ninjutsu, like magic, is a very magical thing. It can give birth to incredibly powerful forces because of the desire in one’s heart, can’t it?” Mavis’s voice came from the side.
Jelf turned his head and smiled slightly: "You've come, Mavis."
The person who just spoke was Mavis, and with her came Uchiha Itachi and Kabuto.
Itachi Uchiha immediately turned his gaze to Sasuke, and almost simultaneously, Sasuke quickly turned his head away, clearly indicating that he couldn't be bothered to look at Itachi.
Unlike Orochimaru and Zeref, who focused their attention on the Three-Tails, Mavis frowned as she looked at Kimimaro, who was still kneeling on the ground despite being severely injured, and asked, "Can you still hold on, Kimimaro?"
Eli, who was also kneeling to the side, glanced at Zeref without making it obvious, then stood up and helped Kimimaro up.
Meanwhile, Kabuto Yakushi, quite consciously and with great interest, came over to check Kimimaro's injuries.
Kimimaro's chest wound was horrifying, but what was even more horrifying was that he was still alive despite such an injury.
Even though he was still alive, the huge, open wound had caused Kimimaro to lose too much blood, leaving him in an extremely weak state.
Faced with such injuries, Kabuto could only try to slow down Kimimaro's blood loss.
“Take that book out, Sasuke,” Zeref said.
Sasuke paused for a moment, then pulled out the Devil's Book from the scroll—the one he had obtained and then tossed into a corner, closely connected to Kimimaro.
When Sasuke took the book out of the scroll, everyone present saw the hole running through the center of the book.
Reaching out to take the book from Sasuke's hand, Zeref pulled a pen from his pocket. The tip of the pen shimmered with a faint magical light, and the next moment, Zeref began to fill in the missing content in the book.
Orochimaru moved closer without hesitation, positioning himself at a distance from Zeref who could clearly see what he was writing, and stared intently at Zeref's writing.
Jelf paused slightly with his pen in hand, then continued writing.
It must be said that, if Orochimaru were willing, he could be considered the most understanding partner in terms of discretion and patience.
—Although they might occasionally covet your body, or turn their backs on you ruthlessly once you're no longer of any use to them.
Zeref's movements as he wrote the Book of Demons were very fluid, after all, he was very experienced in creating demons.
He simply lost interest after discovering that the demon could not grant his wish.
Seemingly without any thought, Zeref repaired the demon book in his hands without any hindrance.
As Zeref continued writing, the damage to the Book of Demons was repaired at a visible speed. By the time Zeref finished writing and closed the Book of Demons, the damage to Kimimaro's chest had been completely repaired, and his smooth skin showed no trace of injury.
"This is simply..." Kabuto Yakushi felt as if something was blocking his throat, and he said with some difficulty, "It's unbelievable..."
At this moment, Kabuto Yakushi even began to doubt whether the existence of medical ninjutsu truly had any meaning.
After the hole in his chest was repaired, Kimimaro gradually regained his strength. He stood up, his gaze incredibly complex. In the depths of his being, he felt that his connection with that book had become even stronger.
"Thank you for your treatment, Lord Zeref," Kimimaro said, bowing slightly.
Unlike Orochimaru, whose eyes were filled with excitement, Zeref, as if he had simply done something perfectly ordinary, calmly handed the Book of Demons to Sasuke.
Sasuke glanced at the book in Zeref's hand, then at Kimimaro, and after a moment of silence, said calmly, "Even if you give me this book, it will still belong to you. Besides, I don't need such a thing."
Itachi Uchiha looked at Sasuke with a complex mix of emotions, including a sense of relief.
Zeref couldn't help but chuckle, and then, under Orochimaru's burning gaze, casually put away the Book of Demons in his hand.
......
While Zeref, Orochimaru, and Kabuto were enthusiastically setting up the outdoor laboratory for the Three-Tails, Mavis, August, Eric, Itachi, Sasuke, and Kimimaro began to review the battle.
"What do you know about that masked Akatsuki member, Itachi?" Mavis asked, looking at Itachi.
Itachi was silent for a moment, and was about to speak when Mavis interrupted him: "Sasuke is still here. It would be too much to create new lies, Itachi."
Upon hearing this, Sasuke cast a cold glance at Itachi.
Sensing Sasuke's gaze, Itachi smiled wryly and said, "You really do have a keen eye for people, Mavis."
Mavis's lips curled slightly; she knew that these two brothers were actually helpless against each other.
"That person wearing a mask is Uchiha Madara," Itachi stated directly.
"impossible!"
While Sasuke and Kimimaro were still shocked by the answer, Mavis quickly and decisively denied it.
“No matter who that person wearing the mask is, he could never be Madara Uchiha.” Mavis’s voice was unwavering.
"On the day of Orochimaru's Konoha Crush plan, Zeref's magic did indeed summon the reflection of Madara Uchiha's ghost."
Upon hearing Mavis's words, Sasuke began to realize what was happening. He frowned and muttered, "Zelf said that magic would summon the dead..."
At this point, Sasuke paused, a look of realization flashing in his eyes.
Mavis nodded and affirmed, "Since Zeref's magic did indeed summon Uchiha Madara, then it proves that Uchiha Madara is indeed dead."
"After all, the summoned Uchiha Madara has already received personal recognition from the First Hokage and the Second Hokage, hasn't he?" Mavis couldn't help but feel a little emotional as she thought about the stories she had heard about the previous generations of Konoha.
Sasuke, a descendant of the Uchiha clan, showed no inclination to share Mavis's sentiments. He abruptly turned his head and glared angrily at Itachi Uchiha.
Uchiha Itachi, who also heard Mavis's explanation: ......
"I'm not lying..." Itachi said helplessly, realizing that he seemed to have no credibility in Sasuke's eyes. "At least, he claimed to be Uchiha Madara, and he does indeed possess the Mangekyou Sharingan."
Sasuke stared coldly at Uchiha Itachi, his eyes still filled with scrutinizing suspicion, while another thought flashed through his mind.
Wasn't the Mangekyou Sharingan supposed to be extremely rare? How come so many have suddenly appeared today?
Putting this strange thought aside, Sasuke asked, somewhat bewildered, "So, he's also a member of the Uchiha clan? No, not necessarily. Kakashi also possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan, and why would he impersonate Madara Uchiha, an old man who's been dead for who knows how many years?"
Even Mavis, who wasn't originally a ninja, couldn't help but ponder it.
"That was because the name Uchiha Madara represented absolute power." Orochimaru, who had already arranged for the laboratory to be built, answered this question.
Upon hearing that the masked man was impersonating Uchiha Madara, countless conspiracies flashed through Orochimaru's mind. He never imagined that the secrets of this world were so deep, so... interesting!
