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

Chapter 110 Fearing the World Isn't Chaotic Enough

Sasuke stared at the clean break in the tree, his gaze sharpening slightly.

When he looked again at the tail behind Eric, which showed no power whatsoever and seemed like a mere decoration, his gaze completely changed, and the initial disdain and contempt were gone.

For the pragmatic Sasuke, it was no longer just a tail, but a weapon sharper and more powerful than kunai or shuriken.

Sasuke stared calmly at Eli, no longer caring that Eli now looked just like him. At this moment, all he saw was a powerful demon.

"Hmph, whatever," Sasuke said indifferently, though he didn't really care about these things anyway.

Seeing that Sasuke was no longer interested, Eli felt a little bored.

He only decided to tease Sasuke because he happened to see him training. He deliberately revealed a trace of his aura while he was in the tree to attract Sasuke's attention.

Seeing that Sasuke was so quick to stop caring after realizing that he still looked the same, Ali waved his hand somewhat boredly and turned to walk towards the base.

But before Eric could take two steps, he saw Jelf walking towards him from a distance.

Upon seeing Zeref, Eli knelt on one knee without hesitation under Sasuke's gaze, bowing his head respectfully and saying, "Lord Zeref, Eli has successfully completed the task you assigned and has returned to report to you!"

"Well done," Jelf said with a smile.

Sasuke looked away, finding it rather cringeworthy, as he watched Eric kneeling with his face on his back, his tail wagging excitedly at Zeref's simple compliment.

He said to Zeref, "So you went through all this trouble just to spread the word that I'm dead in the ninja world?"

A subtle smile appeared on Zeref's lips as he looked at Sasuke and said, "I suppose so. I was originally planning to give a proper welcome to a guest who had come all this way after hearing the news."

A guest who has come from afar? Sasuke was somewhat puzzled.

“But now…” Zeref glanced at Sasuke again, then remembered Mavis grabbing him by the collar. A bead of cold sweat slowly dripped down his forehead, and he sighed, hesitant to speak.

......

At that moment, Mavis and August, who were leisurely strolling in the woods, stopped in their tracks and looked at the man who had suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Uchiha Itachi?" Mavis asked, somewhat surprised.

The man who suddenly appeared was none other than Itachi Uchiha.

At this time, Itachi Uchiha looked thinner than when Mavis left Amegakure, but he gave off a sharper vibe.

At this moment, Itachi Uchiha looked up at Mavis and said, "I didn't expect you to be able to break free from Kotoamatsukami. Mavis, I was too careless."

Hearing that Itachi Uchiha still dared to bring up this matter, August could no longer tolerate it. He raised his magic staff, and a beam of light instantly pierced through Itachi Uchiha's body.

The next instant, Itachi Uchiha's pierced body suddenly twisted and turned into several crows that scattered and flew away.

August's gaze remained unmoved, but an immense, suffocating magical power continued to spread, instantly enveloping the surroundings.

Then he looked to his right front and sneered, "Hiding your head and showing your tail, that's really the standard ninja style."

Under August's brutal magical suppression, Uchiha Itachi, unable to hide any longer, emerged.

At this point, he had no choice and no need to hide his tracks any longer.

Even if August's magic erupts, it will definitely attract the attention of Zeref and Orochimaru, and perhaps they will appear in front of him at any moment.

But Itachi Uchiha had no time to pay attention to any of that. He stared straight at Mavis, wanting only one answer: "Why?"

Mavis paused slightly, then heard Itachi Uchiha ask, "Why did you let Sasuke go to his death? You said you considered him a friend, didn't you?"

"If only I had known this would happen..."

"If you had known this would happen, what would you have done?"

A voice suddenly interrupted Itachi Uchiha's words. Zeref slowly walked over, his black eyes filled with an unusual coldness.

He looked at Uchiha Itachi, his eyes seemingly filled with surging emotions that he was deliberately suppressing.

Contrary to the emotions in his eyes, Zeref's tone became even gentler: "If you had known this would happen, would you have wanted to kill Mavis back in Akatsuki?"

As soon as Zeref said this, the scene fell into a deathly silence. Even August, who had been burning with anger, silently put down his magic wand.

In a secluded spot nearby, Sasuke and Eli were hiding their tracks. Even from a distance, the two could sense the undercurrents beneath Zeref's calm exterior.

Eric's tail swayed involuntarily, and he couldn't help but gasp.

At this moment, while he was holding Sasuke to shield his aura from Itachi Uchiha, he stared dumbfounded at the commotion not far away.

"Your brother is really brave!" Ellie exclaimed dramatically. "He stepped right on Lord Zeref's sore spot right after meeting him. I really admire him."

Sasuke, unable to break free from Aili's tight grip, turned pale. He looked at Aili, who seemed to be praising him but actually had a mischievous expression on his face. He tried to break free, but to no avail. He couldn't help but shout angrily, "Let go of me! Don't get so close to me!"

Is this guy a beast?! His arms are as hard as steel and can't be budged!

Eli ignored Sasuke's struggles and said with a grin, "I'm helping you out. With your current ability to hide and your excited state, if it weren't for my magic barrier surrounding you, your brother would have discovered you long ago."

As he spoke, Eric touched his chin, looking thoughtfully at Itachi Uchiha, who was confronting Zeref without showing any sign of backing down.

Eric patted Sasuke's shoulder and teased him familiarly, "But your brother does look much more mature and composed than you, Sasuke~"

Finally giving up on shaking off Eric's hand on his shoulder, Sasuke gritted his teeth and chose to ignore the noisy guy next to him, focusing on the movements in front of him.

When Sasuke discovered Itachi's whereabouts, he was about to rush over and question him immediately, but he was held back by Eri, who had received a signal from Zeref. As a result, he could only watch from the sidelines.

Fortunately, at least we can still see the situation on the ground; otherwise, even if Sasuke activated his Mangekyou Sharingan, he would never have compromised.

At this moment, Zeref's appearance made the atmosphere extremely heavy. Mavis looked at the cold-faced Zeref and the blank-eyed Uchiha Itachi, and felt a slight headache coming on.

She tugged hard at Zeref's sleeve, glared at him, and warned, "Zeref, it's a promise, you're not allowed to interfere in this anymore!"

She then turned to Itachi and got straight to the point: "Itachi, Sasuke is not dead!"

A glimmer of light flashed in Itachi Uchiha's lifeless eyes, but it vanished in an instant.

He said, "Even the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, witnessed Sasuke's death. What's the point of you lying to me now?"

Mavis wasn't surprised by Itachi's suspicion. She said, "I assure you, Sasuke is indeed not dead, and he is currently in Otogakure. He..."

"That's right, I did not die, Uchiha Itachi!"

The Uchiha boy emerged from the forest, and upon seeing the sudden gleam in Uchiha Itachi's eyes, he gave a cold smile.

Then, the boy walked to Zeref's side, knelt down on one knee, glanced at Itachi Uchiha, and said, "But I am no longer the same Sasuke Uchiha!"

"I am now Lord Jelf's servant!"
