Uchiha Sasuke is usually very aloof and hardly takes the initiative to look for anyone. Most of the time he just performs tasks and practices. His daily life is also very simple and he rarely communicates.

The only ones he could find was basically the only teacher, Haki Kakashi, and Sasuke was most of the time to find him because of his cultivation.

Apart from Kakashi, the person he often looks for is Ethan, whose purpose is similar to finding Kakashi, and he wants to know how he should become stronger faster.

Especially after practicing together for more than half a month, Sasuke found that Ethan didn't mind sharing his cultivation experience. In addition, the advice Ethan gave occasionally was indeed very useful, so he was more willing to come to Ethan.

The same is true today. In the war caused by the Chunin exam or Orochimaru's Konoha collapse plan, Sasuke witnessed the amazing strength of Naruto Uzumaki.

Everyone is practicing together, and they are companions in the same group and are classmates at school. No one knows better what Naruto originally had than Sasuke.

As the tail of the crane for the whole grade, Naruto Uzumaki has improved rapidly after becoming a ninja, which has already made Sasuke feel threatened.

The biggest thrill was the battle between Naruto Uzumaki and Gaara.

That... it is not the strength that an ordinary Shinin can show! Even though he is called a genius and has the excellent bloodline of the Uchiha family, Sasuke has a deep sense of powerlessness when facing that terrifying strength.

When Sasuke thought that he had been overtaken by Naruto Uzumaki and had been thrown away so much, he felt that he was not as good as he was depressed. He couldn't even continue his practice calmly. He had no choice but to wander the street and unknowingly came to the door of Ethan's house.

"Maybe...he could give me some useful advice?"

At this moment, Asma came back with Ethan on her back. Sasuke looked at Ethan with a 'weaky face' in surprise: "Are you injured?"

It was not only Naruto Uzumaki who was stimulating Sasuke, but Ethan's performance was also shocking: a Shinin who had just graduated from school actually forced Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas, to retreat...

There are not many concepts of Sannin today; only Orochimaru is different. Sasuke has personally experienced Orochimaru's horror in the forest of death.

Such a powerful existence was actually defeated by Ethan?

However, Ethan was already very strong in Sasuke's impression, so the impact on Sasuke was far less than that of Naruto's front crane.

Because Ethan has a record of forcing Orochimaru to retreat, Sasuke unconsciously walked to Ethan when he wanted to know how to become stronger quickly. He subconsciously felt that Ethan knew how to become stronger quickly and could help him fulfill his desire to become stronger.

Unexpectedly, Ethan was actually injured.

"Who hurt you?"

Asma carried Ethan into the house. Ethan's residence was very simple, so there was no need to worry about not being able to find a room or something: it was just a house, and you could see where the rest was just one glance.

He simply settled Ethan and Asma looked around.

This residence is really dilapidated. Although many places have been repaired so that there will be no leakage, this is the poorest residential area in Konoha Village. Only people with very difficult life will live in such a place.

Ethan...it shouldn't be short of money?

"Have you ever considered moving?"

"I'm already looking for it. Because of the recent incident, Konoha is planning to rebuild this block, so I'm also looking for a new place to live during this period."

Asma nodded. The war caused considerable damage to Konoha. It is not surprising that the top leaders of the village are rebuilding these dilapidated blocks by the way. Anyway, related work must be carried out, so it is better to be in place at once.

"In this case... you can't go out to find a place to live recently, right?"

"ah……"

The residence is about to be demolished recently, but Ethan is in a state of recuperation and it is not convenient to go out to find a house.

Asma looks like a rough man, but in fact he is very careful and enthusiastic. He immediately took the initiative to show that he would help Ethan find a suitable house.

“I have enough empty houses to live in mine before you find a suitable place.”

Sasuke, who had been silent and silent, suddenly spoke, which surprised Asma a little. And he didn't expect that Sasuke, who was always cold, would invite Ethan to live in his place, although the Uchiha family did have large and empty houses.

"Do you have something to do to me for help?"

Ethan didn't think that his relationship with Sasuke was so good. Sasuke didn't have the kind of warm-hearted personality. He was willing to invite himself to live there. He must have something to ask him, but he was embarrassed to speak up directly. When he found such an opportunity, he decided to "sell some benefits" to himself first.

"I want to know how to become stronger...become strong quickly."

Ethan nodded. This was similar to what he had guessed. Uchiha Sasuke was thinking about how to become stronger. When he showed his outstanding strength and had a fair relationship with him, it was a normal choice for Sasuke to ask for his help.

In other words, Sasuke didn't have many choices, it was nothing more than himself or Kakashi.

"How strong do you want to become?"

Sasuke didn't expect Ethan to suddenly ask this. He was stunned for a moment and showed his cold murderous expression again: "It's very strong..."

"Itchy strong enough to kill Uchiha Itachi?"

“…”

Uchiha Sasuke was stunned for a moment, then he nodded. There was nothing wrong with admitting this matter, and that's what he really thought.

Asma, who was standing by, looked at the conversation between the two young people and suddenly felt that many things were really speechless: There must be some inside story about Uchiha Itachi killing the entire clan. Although he did not know the details, since Uchiha Itachi was still Konoha's spy, the genocide incident was probably not that simple.

The only survivor of the Uchiha family happens to be Uchiha Itachi's younger brother. This doesn't seem like a coincidence, but this younger brother is determined to kill his own brother.

He suddenly thought of some rumors that only a few people had heard of. If he were not Sarutobi Hinako's son, he might not have heard of that remark: Uchiha is a cursed clan!

"Maybe...that's not just a rumor..."

Just as he was feeling emotion, Ethan suddenly sat up and looked directly into Sasuke Uchiha's eyes.

"Do you know how I was injured?"

Uchiha Sasuke was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Ethan suddenly turned the topic to this point? He was very curious about how Ethan was injured. After all, Ethan was very strong, and he really couldn't imagine who could make him injured.

"Not long ago, a encounter with two suspicious people, including Asma, Yurihong and Kakashi."

Uchiha Sasuke's expression suddenly became serious. These people were all Konoha's elites. When these three attacked together, Ethan was also injured, which shows that the other party's strength is not bad... But why did Ethan suddenly say this?

Could it be...?

He suddenly thought of a possibility and looked at Ethan with incredible eyes, and Ethan was still looking at him firmly, as if affirming his guess.

"One of them is Uchiha Itachi!"

Uchiha Sasuke suddenly stood up and turned his head and was about to rush out, but as soon as he got up, he found a long green whip entangled him tightly and made him unable to move.

"Let me go!"

Uchiha Itachi returned to Konoha! He must go find that guy!

"Let you go and find Itachi Uchiha? Don't say he has left, what if you find it?" Ethan held the rose whip with one hand, just to avoid hurting Sasuke. There were no sharp thorns on the whip.

However, there were a few bright red rose petals hanging on the long whip, so Sasuke felt that his strength gradually disappeared, and it was difficult to stand slowly. He had no strength to continue struggling, so he could only stare at Ethan with dissatisfaction.

"You can't even deal with me in your current state. Do you think you have the ability to defeat Uchiha Itachi?"

Although Uchiha Sasuke was greatly stimulated once, he actually grew up very smoothly so far, and Uchiha's bloodline gave him a strong sense of superiority, which led to his mentality becoming unbalanced when he was slightly stimulated.

In this case, Ethan usually stepped on a few more times, allowing him to face the cruel reality, smash his pride into pieces, and then he would start to reason after he stopped making trouble.

"If you want me to help you become stronger, you can know that you have a clear understanding of your own strength: it is not strong enough! Now that you are still weak, you take the initiative to run to the enemy. Are you actually trying to die?"

Sasuke didn't speak, and he was so angry that he couldn't listen to any persuasion at all. It was just that Ethan's whip made him lose his strength. He couldn't get away even if he wanted to. He could only sit there with anger on his face and could no longer stand.

"I'm really strange, why Uchiha Itachi left you..."

“!?”

Uchiha Sasuke was suddenly stunned. Although he had never thought about this question carefully, he might have asked himself this question more than once in his subconscious mind. Maybe he wanted to confront Uchiha Itachi in person, just want an answer? Is he still looking forward to something in his heart?

As for the eyes? Sasuke doesn't think about that aspect now.

After realizing what he had subconsciously ignored, Sasuke's face became even more ugly. He didn't notice that Asma was frantically winking at Ethan: I can't say anything more, I'm going to leak the secret!

Ethan rolled his eyes. It didn't matter if Uchiha Itachi's identity was exposed. Anyway, he had already passed on Akatsuki's intelligence back, and he had completed his own mission, so it was no point in staying outside.
