Forced to sell misery

Jing Ye turned his head stiffly, looked at Obito, and heard Obito speak clearly word by word.

"Sever all the ties along with it—

Those ridiculous and boring things are just shackles that hinder your progress!

"If you don't think so, then why did you come here and choose to destroy everything?"

Suddenly meeting the scarlet eyes under Obito's mask, Jing Ye was stunned——

Why did he come here? To choose destruction?!

"I……"

Blurry scenes flashed through my mind...

The invasion of darkness, the desire for destruction...

The shrine collapsed in the chaos, and the Uchiha clan land turned into ruins...

Itachi's decision, Minato's helplessness, Naruto's tears...

"Do you really remember nothing?"

He once again thought of the puzzling questions Obito had asked him.

No...it's not that he doesn't remember, but that he doesn't dare to remember.

He was subconsciously avoiding those dark and chaotic memories.

At the same time, he also remembered his childish and impulsive plan - to talk the Nine-Tails away and release some of its chakra, thereby creating chaos and attracting Konoha's attention, and thus revealing Naruto's true identity in front of everyone -

He naively thought that if the people of Konoha knew that Naruto was the son of the Fourth Hokage Minato, people would change their opinion of Naruto...

And he has become a traitor, working as an undercover agent for Obito, similar to what Itachi did after the night he exterminated his clan...

But, what did he do?!

The Nine-Tails Chakra helped him to incarnate into the Four-Tailed Demon Fox with the help of his inner evil... and after being enraged, the Susanoo monster exploded -

What on earth did he do?!

He hurt Kakashi, hurt the Konoha ninjas who tried to stop him, and he even almost... killed Itachi?!

If it wasn't for Minato-sensei...

Minato Sensei...

The chaotic memory scene is frozen.

He remembered what Minato in his soul body said when he stopped him -

"You...are still a willful child, but you are unexpectedly kind..."

"It doesn't matter, you've worked hard."

“Maybe the road ahead will be difficult, but we still have to keep working hard.”

"It is indeed agreed that I will accompany Jing Ye-jun on the road ahead, but, I'm sorry..."

……

No, I'm the one who should say sorry.

It was me who broke the promise, both with you, Minato-sensei, and with Naruto...

It was me who hurt you...

It's me...it's all my fault!

What kindness? I... am just a coward.

Everything is just my own opinion...

I, really, pushed you into a deeper abyss...

It’s all me…

Tears fell drop by drop to the ground.

Jing Ye knelt on the ground, his whole body shaking uncontrollably.

-

At this moment, the Sandaime and a group of Anbu arrived!

"So, is that Uchiha Madara?"

"Damn it, you attacked the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and wanted to do something excessive again!"

"That Uchiha Kagamiya, the brat who awakened the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan... He was the one who provoked the Uchiha's ambition to expand and caused the Uchiha clan's rebellion, right?"

"Even if he stays in the village, he is harboring evil intentions, waiting for an opportunity to attack Konoha's high-ranking leader Danzo!"

Everyone surrounded Jingye and Obito, and even Itachi, who tried his best to save Naruto, was looked at with suspicion and caution.

"Hand over the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!"

"You evil Uchiha, what else do you want to do that will harm the village?!"

"Why did they allow the Uchiha clan to rebel? They should be annihilated to prevent future troubles!"

"Master Danzo is right. The power of the Sharingan itself represents darkness and evil. Such a terrible power... should not exist!"

……

Those noisy voices...are all accusing!

These people could unscrupulously use cold violence against Naruto, the incarnation of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, and look at the Uchiha clan with discrimination... They even wanted to slaughter the entire Uchiha clan and sacrifice the interests of people who had nothing to do with them to maintain their so-called peace and justice...

In contrast,

As a member of the Uchiha clan,

Being rejected, being hated, being hated, being afraid——

Is this the fate represented by the Uchiha surname?

Is this the curse that comes with the power of the Sharingan?

Is it unacceptable for the village, for justice, and for the sake of justice?

People want to use the power they don't understand, but they are also afraid of it...

And if that power threatens their interests, they will be rejected, hated, and even want to be wiped out...

Is this the village's attitude towards the Uchiha clan?

Jing Ye looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief - are these the ninjas of Konoha, is this what they call justice, is this what they call peace?

At this time, the Sandaime Hokage stood in front of everyone.

"Stop it, Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Jingye, you are on the wrong path!"

Faced with public criticism, Obito remained calm.

"Don't listen to those bastards. In the face of absolute power, so-called justice and righteousness are worthless!"

"I've already said it before, this world is already rotten, Konoha, clan... you're still entangled in these boring things - is this the limit of your ability, Uchiha Jingye?"

"What's wrong?" He looked at the collapsed Jing Ye and asked meaningfully, "Are you afraid?"

Scared?

It turns out that he has always been afraid...

He was afraid that what he did was wrong, that those tragedies would happen again, that those who trusted him would be misled by him... He was even afraid of the power he himself possessed.

What a sad fact!

It was because of his inner wavering... one wrong step, one wrong step after another, which eventually led to this irreversible situation -

Jing Ye lowered his head, looking at his shaking hands, his vision gradually filled with scarlet color.

-

Cut off the past!

Cut off all the ties along with it——

Those ridiculous and boring things are just shackles that hinder your progress!

He remembered what Obito had said earlier.

Are these shackles holding you back?

He has been wrong all along...

As an Uchiha, he himself is not tolerated by the light...

Then, just give up completely.

-

"No, I'm just trembling with excitement because of the past that is about to be cut off - and, I feel sad for the naive self in the past..."

Jing Ye murmured, "How ridiculous!"

He raised his head, and in his scarlet eyes, the pattern of the Mangekyō Sharingan changed and disappeared. On top of the three magatama, three more magatama appeared.

In the scarlet pupils, the six magatama reappeared!

It’s like God is looking down on the world again!

Only this time, the power of God stood on the side of evil——
