Chapter 1153 Decisive Immortal Gourd

But Uchiha Itachi vanished from everyone's sight. Sasuke gazed in the direction where Itachi had vanished, his eyes filled with a complex mix of sadness, reluctance, and, above all, deep respect for his brother. After returning to the village, Sasuke would often visit the spot where he had fought Itachi in the dead of night, reminiscing about every moment he had spent with his brother.

Naruto constantly encouraged Sasuke, hoping that he could let go of his past obsessions and reintegrate into the village. With everyone's company, Sasuke slowly began to let go of his past.

As the days passed, Konoha Village returned to its former peace. But during a mission, Sasuke stumbled upon a mysterious clue related to Itachi. This clue seemed to point to a deeper secret; perhaps there was more to Itachi's disappearance than meets the eye. Sasuke decided to pursue this clue, believing he would one day uncover the truth and "reunite" with his brother. Naruto, Sakura, and the others decided to join Sasuke on this journey of discovery filled with unknowns. Following the clue, they arrived at an ancient and mysterious valley. An eerie aura permeated the valley, and the twisted and tangled trees around it seemed to conceal countless secrets. Shortly after entering the valley, a group of mysterious and powerful ninjas suddenly appeared and engaged Sasuke and his group in a fierce battle. During the battle, Sasuke discovered that these ninjas seemed to be guarding something. After a hard-fought battle, they finally repelled the enemy. Continuing deeper into the valley, they discovered a deserted underground palace. The palace was eerie, its walls covered in strange runes. Going deeper into the palace, they found an ancient scroll that recorded the forbidden secrets of the Uchiha clan. It turned out that in order to save his clan, Itachi used the forbidden secrets to hide his existence, and behind this was a conspiracy that was enough to subvert the ninja world. Sasuke and others realized that they were about to uncover a shocking secret, and a more severe challenge was waiting for them. Just as they were about to study the scroll further, the palace suddenly shook violently, and countless hidden weapons shot from all directions. Everyone reacted quickly and performed ninjutsu to avoid it. When the shaking stopped for a while, a huge stone door slowly rose, and a tall ninja with an evil aura walked out from behind the door. He sneered, "Do you think that finding the scroll can reveal the truth? How naive!"

This person turned out to be a master sent by the mastermind to protect the secret. A fierce battle ensued once again, the enemy being powerful, and Sasuke and his companions gradually began to struggle. Just when the situation was critical, Sasuke activated his Mangekyō Sharingan, unleashing a powerful burst of power. Naruto also used his Nine-Tails mode, and together with Sasuke, they gradually turned the tide of the battle.

After a grueling battle, they finally defeated their enemy. However, when they looked at the scroll again, the words on it began to fade. It turned out to be just another trap set by the enemy, and the true secret lay even deeper. Undeterred, they knew the challenge had only just begun. With their unwavering pursuit of the truth, they pressed on, facing the unknown dangers. Continuing their exploration of the palace, they came to a room filled with mirrors. Each mirror reflected a different version of themselves, some reflecting the innocence of childhood, others the steely determination of battle.
