Chapter 95 Confusion and Choices
After Mavis finished speaking, Sasuke fell into a long silence.
Hatred, pain, contradiction... a variety of complex emotions kept appearing on Sasuke's face, and in the end, only deep confusion remained.
Sasuke looked at Mavis, at the person in front of him who had chosen to tell him the whole truth.
At that moment, Sasuke was like a bewildered child, instinctively asking, "Then what should I do..."
Seeing Sasuke's confused state, Mavis understood that Sasuke was perhaps at a crossroads in his life.
Forgiveness or revenge, love or hatred—any guiding principle could lead Sasuke down a completely different path.
Mavis now clearly understood what Itachi Uchiha meant when he said Sasuke was a blank slate.
“Then let’s get stronger first!” Mavis’s voice was incredibly firm.
She met Sasuke's gaze, her eyes always seeming to contain a certain firmness, unwavering strength and power. She continued, "When you become stronger than Itachi, he will no longer be able to ignore your thoughts like before."
"As for how to deal with Itachi Uchiha, it doesn't matter if there's no answer right now."
Mavis smiled faintly, her eyes crinkling: "You're still young, Sasuke. As you experience more and think more deeply, you'll naturally find the answer."
Sasuke listened quietly to Mavis's words, his eyes gradually hardening.
He looked at Mavis, who was always so resolute and seemed never to have lost her way, and said seriously, "You're right, Mavis! No matter what, I must become stronger first!"
Having temporarily found a target, Sasuke was like a drowning person finally grabbing a straw. Although it couldn't save him, it prevented him from sinking to the bottom of the river and being unable to turn over.
Seeing Sasuke finally regain his senses from the chaos, Mavis secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Mavis firmly believed from beginning to end that she should tell Sasuke the truth, she was always worried that Sasuke might do something rash when faced with such a heavy truth.
Fortunately, Sasuke is a good kid who listens to advice, which made Mavis look relieved.
(Kakashi: ...Really? I don't believe it...)
Having calmed down, Sasuke looked at Mavis and finally asked the question that had been on his mind: "Mavis, why did you help me like this?"
Mavis smiled brightly: "Because we're friends, Sasuke, and I'm just standing on both the side I believe is right and the side of my friends."
……
After parting ways with Mavis, Sasuke, still feeling unsettled, headed towards his room in the base.
Sasuke usually doesn't stay in his room during the day.
He wished he could spend every single minute of his time cultivating, so he often cultivated until late at night before going home, and then went out again early the next morning.
For him, the room was merely a space for necessary physical rest.
The truth he heard from Mavis today was so shocking that even someone as diligent as Sasuke felt he needed to sort out his thoughts.
Moreover, Sasuke couldn't help but raise his hand and lightly press it above his eyes.
After the Mangekyou Sharingan was activated, Sasuke did indeed feel the powerful demand for chakra from these eyes.
Are these the same eyes as a weasel...?
Arriving at his room, Sasuke pushed open the door and stepped into the dark room.
Suddenly, Sasuke, who had just entered the room, stopped in his tracks. The next moment, his crimson Sharingan activated instantly, and he looked at the dark figure in the corner.
At the same time, two kunai shot straight at the dark figure in the corner at an extremely tricky angle.
After the instinctive action, Sasuke, who finally recognized the dark figure in the corner with his Sharingan, said somewhat speechlessly, "Couldn't you have said hello first? Or is it your weird hobby to see me scared?"
Zeref dodged a kunai by tilting his head, caught another one, and sat down in a chair, resting his cheek on one hand and playing with a kunai in the other. He smiled slightly and said, "I'm the one who was suddenly attacked. If anyone should be frightened, it should be me, Sasuke."
Looking at Zeref, who was sitting leisurely in his chair with no sign of fright on his face, Sasuke, who had already received an excessive amount of information today, raised his hand to rub his temples and said helplessly, "Is there something you need from me?"
As he spoke, Sasuke turned on the light switch by the door, and in an instant, a pale yellow light filled the simple yet monotonous room.
Immediately afterwards, Sasuke placed the Kusanagi sword at his waist on the table and casually sat down on his thin bed.
After silently watching Sasuke's actions for a while, Zeref finally spoke up: "I know Mavis just came to see you. Sasuke, would you be willing to share with me a little secret between you and Mavis?"
Sasuke was taken aback, raised an eyebrow slightly, and asked curiously, "Mavis didn't tell you?"
Jelf casually tossed the kunai aside, lowered his hand that had been supporting his cheek, and said with a smile, "Mavis is someone who values her companions and friends. She said she needs to talk to you alone first and get your permission before she can tell me and August."
Sasuke paused in his rubbing of his temples. He hadn't even considered this, but Mavis had already thoughtfully taken it into account for him.
At first, I felt a little warmed by Mebius's actions, but the next moment, a surge of anger gradually rose in my heart.
Since the Konoha leadership and Itachi Uchiha have the audacity to do such a thing, why should he bother to cover it up for them?
Harboring resentment towards Konoha, Sasuke unhesitatingly revealed to Zeref everything that Konoha and Itachi Uchiha had done.
After learning the truth about Itachi Uchiha from Sasuke, Zeref finally understood why Itachi had used genjutsu on Mavis.
Objectively speaking, from Itachi Uchiha's perspective and considering his own goals, his actions are not difficult to understand.
Zeref even had to praise Itachi Uchiha's decisiveness and resourcefulness.
Of course, this is on the premise that the person genjutsu cast by Itachi Uchiha is not Mavis.
The curve of Jelf's lips remained unchanged, but a cold smile began to spread across his eyes.
Mavis could understand Itachi Uchiha's feelings for peace and Sasuke, and forgive his previous murderous intent and genjutsu, but that didn't mean Zeref could also forgive them calmly.
When Zeref named himself Spriggan, meaning ugly fairy, he understood the dark side that distinguished him from Mavis.
Although Mavis was determined to hand Itachi Uchiha over to Sasuke, that didn't mean he couldn't take some harmless revenge on Itachi for Mavis's sake.
What Itachi Uchiha cared about most was Konoha and Sasuke, right...?
Jelf lowered his head slightly, concealing the expression in his eyes, but the curve of his lips widened imperceptibly.
