Should I continue being a villain in the ninja world after transmigrating?

Chapter 116 The Mission of the Three-Tailed Beast

As Sasuke turned and walked away alone, he felt a burning rage in his heart, growing stronger and stronger until it threatened to boil him over.

Uchiha Itachi, that idiot!

And today, I actually had a brain fart and agreed to talk to Itachi Uchiha. I'm such an idiot!

He said he wouldn't control his life anymore, but now he's arrogantly deciding to give him the Mangekyou Sharingan! His arrogance hasn't changed at all!

Just as Sasuke was burning with anger, he suddenly saw Eli and Kimimaro walking out of the forest, and the two seemed to be talking about something.

Sasuke paused, a question arising in his mind: how did these two end up together?

Although Kimimaro possessed half of the demonic power after being modified, making him practically a half-similar to Eli, Eli completely denied this.

Eri has always been proud that he is the first and currently the only demon created by Zeref in the ninja world, so naturally he dislikes Kimimaro, who was originally human.

However, since they were all loyal to Lord Zeref, Eri couldn't do anything to Kimimaro. But her usual attitude towards Kimimaro was obviously not friendly, and she basically ignored him.

Now, seeing the two of them walking together, Sasuke instinctively sensed that something was going on.

The next moment, Sasuke changed direction and went to meet them.

"Kimimaro, Eri, what are you two discussing?" Sasuke asked directly.

Upon hearing Sasuke's question, Kimimaro hesitated for a moment, but remembering that Zeref hadn't said this matter needed to be kept secret, he still answered, "Lord Zeref just gave us orders..."

"As for the content of the order, it is... a secret!" Kimimaro's words were suddenly interrupted by Eli.

He raised his arm and draped it over Kimimaro's shoulder, a wicked smile playing on his lips. Glancing sideways at Sasuke, he chuckled, "Well, Lord Zeref's orders are very important, you know. A brat like you should just stay in Otogakure, hahaha—"

Then, Eri forcibly dragged Kimimaro away, even turning back to give Sasuke a provocative look.

Sasuke couldn't help but clench his fist. That guy, Eri!

Meanwhile, Kimimaro, who had been pulled away by Ellie, looked at Ellie, whose right hand was gripping his arm tightly like steel, with fingertips even digging into his flesh, only stopped by his own Shikotsumyaku (Corpse Bone Pulse), and said calmly, "If Sasuke continues to ask me, I will still tell him the details of the mission."

"After all, your Lord Zeref said that I must obey Sasuke's command token."

“It’s our Lord Zeref.” Ellie’s voice was cold: “One day, I will teach you how to show the proper respect to Lord Zeref, you defective half-human, half-demon.”

As he spoke, Aili increased the pressure of his right hand, and in a daze, one could almost hear the crunching sound of his fingertips rubbing against his bones.

A moment later, Eric withdrew his bloodstained fingertip with some regret, and even complained with a touch of naivety on his face, "Your bones are really hard."

Kimimaro fell silent, suddenly realizing how incredibly useful his Shikotsumyaku bloodline limit was.

Wiping the blood from his fingertips onto Kimimaro's clothes, Eric casually remarked, "Sasuke's pride won't allow him to come and ask you again."

Just as Ellie had said, Sasuke frowned as he watched Ellie and Kimimaro leave, and decided to go directly to Zeref.

When Sasuke found Zeref, he saw Zeref and Mavis discussing something with serious expressions. As soon as Sasuke appeared, the two of them looked over at the same time.

"Sasuke, what brings you here? By the way, how did your chat with Itachi go?" Mavis asked first.

Without a doubt, it was August who told him about Itachi's conversation with him.

Thinking about his conversation with Itachi, Sasuke's face immediately turned into a kaleidoscope of colors.

“Uh…” A bead of cold sweat appeared on Mavis’s forehead; Sasuke’s expression had clearly given her the answer.

Remembering Itachi's last words about saving his eyes for him, Sasuke's face darkened even more. Who wanted his eyes!

He looked at Zeref, who was deep in thought, and said through gritted teeth, "Zeref, I beg you, please don't release the seal on Itachi Uchiha's Sharingan!"

Upon hearing Sasuke's words, Zeref blinked and turned to look at him.

Thinking of his promise to Mavis to heal Itachi Uchiha, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Let's talk about this later. I'm too lazy to remove the seal on his Sharingan until I have the time. At least that way he'll be more obedient."

Make time?

Upon hearing this, Sasuke finally remembered why he had come to find Zeref. He asked in confusion, "You gave Eri and Kimimaro a mission? What is it? Are they going to leave Otogakure?"

“That’s right.” Zeref said casually, “Orochimaru provided information about the Three-Tails, and I ordered Eri and Kimimaro to bring the Three-Tails back to Otogakure.”

Three-tailed beast? Sasuke subconsciously recalled the powerful and terrifying nine-tailed fox he saw inside Naruto on the day of the Konoha Crush.

"Why are you suddenly starting to collect the Tailed Beasts?" Sasuke couldn't help but ask. "Is it just the Three-Tails, or all the Tailed Beasts?"

It must be said that Sasuke was very astute in recognizing this problem.

“If we have enough information about the Tailed Beasts, then it would be all of them,” Zeref said calmly.

Mavis seemed to have thought of something and explained to Sasuke, "I also understand that if the tailed beast leaves the body of a Jinchuriki, the Jinchuriki will die. However, we will find a way to ensure the survival of the Jinchuriki after the tailed beast leaves the body, so you don't need to worry about Naruto, Sasuke."

Sasuke's gaze gradually calmed down, and he said in an extremely indifferent tone, "It doesn't matter. That guy is also from Konoha, and has nothing to do with me."

Mavis: ......

Well, the animosity between these ninjas is something they have to face themselves. Mavis, understanding this, fell silent.

After Sasuke finished speaking, he looked at Zeref and suddenly said, "I want to go on a mission with Eri and Kimimaro."

“Eri and Kimimaro are enough,” Zeref said.

After a moment of silence, Sasuke continued, "Since Orochimaru was able to obtain information about the Three-Tails, other ninja villages should have also gathered relevant information. While Ellie and Kimimaro are undoubtedly powerful, they may be overwhelmed when facing a larger number of enemies. Bringing me along will certainly be of some help."

Mavis and Jelf exchanged a glance but remained silent.

Jelf understood that Mavis meant it was Mavis's decision.

Looking into Sasuke's determined eyes, he thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Alright, your strength has grown a lot now, and you can go on missions. You can participate in the Three-Tails mission as well."
