Chapter 246 Don’t Worry About Trivial Matters

Minato and Tsunade looked at each other, a hint of worry in their eyes.

They knew Uchiha Sasuke's character very well; this young man had always been aloof and arrogant.

If he acts impulsively and comes here rashly at this time, he might anger Yu Xi.

The other figures showed a hint of sarcasm in their smiles, as if they were waiting for a good show to begin.

"Uchiha Sasuke..." Yu Xi repeated the name softly, with a hint of amusement flashing in her golden eyes.

Her fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of her chair, as if she were lost in thought. "He's quite courageous, interrupting my meeting at a time like this."

Minato couldn't help but say, "Master Yuxi, Sasuke is young and hot-headed. Maybe he just acted impulsively. Please..."

Yu Xi raised her hand to interrupt Minato's words, with a sneer on her lips: "Namikaze Minato, I know you care about him. However, since he dared to interrupt the meeting, he must bear the consequences."

Tsunade couldn't help but interrupt: "Sister Yuxi, Sasuke is the last remaining member of the Uchiha clan after all, please show mercy."

Yu Xi turned her gaze to Tsunade, a hint of impatience flashing in her eyes: "Little Tsunade, when did you become so soft-hearted?"

Tsunade: "I...I understand."

Her tone was so cold that Tsunade didn't dare to say anything more.

Then, Tsunade wanted to see how Uchiha Madara would react.

"Don't look at me, the real Uchiha died long ago." Uchiha Madara said coldly.

Yu Xi thought for a moment, then waved her hand, signaling Pein to come forward: "Pein, go beat Uchiha Sasuke up. Don't beat him to death, just beat him half to death. Then, send him back to the dessert shop in the Hidden Rain Village. Do you understand?"

Payne nodded slightly, his voice low and respectful: "Understood, Master Yuxi."

He turned and left, his figure disappearing into the shadows of the conference hall like a ghost.

Xiaonan followed closely behind, with a hint of complexity in her eyes.

At this moment, in the square outside the conference hall.

Uchiha Sasuke and his Hawk Squad are standing under the scorching sun

Sasuke's face was gloomy, and his eyes were flashing with anxiety and restlessness.

His fingers were clenched into fists, his nails almost digging into his palms.

"Sasuke, are we really going to do this?" Karin asked cautiously, a hint of worry in her voice.

Sasuke gave her a cold look, his tone filled with unquestionable determination: "Of course. I must meet Yuxi and find out her plan. If she dares to hinder me from taking revenge on Uchiha Itachi, I will never sit idly by and wait for death."

Shuiyue curled her lips, with a hint of disdain in her tone: "Sasuke, you haven't even opened your Mangekyō Sharingan, how can you be Yuxi's opponent? She can easily destroy an entire ninja village."

Sasuke's expression darkened further, but he didn't argue.

He knew that Shuiyue was right, and his current strength was indeed not enough to compete with Yuxi.

But he was unwilling to give up. He had to find an opportunity, even if it was only a glimmer of hope.

Shigeo stood silently by, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

He knew Sasuke's character. Once he made a decision, he would never change it easily.

But he also knew that this decision might put them in an irretrievable situation.

At this moment, Pain and Konan appeared in the square like ghosts.

Pain's gaze was icy, as if he were looking at a group of ants. His voice was low and oppressive: "Uchiha Sasuke, Master Yuxi has ordered me to 'entertain' you."

Sasuke's pupils suddenly contracted and he felt an unprecedented sense of oppression.

But he didn't back down, instead he responded coldly: "Penn, leader of the Akatsuki organization, what do you mean by this?"

Payne didn't answer, but attacked directly.

He was extremely fast and arrived in front of Sasuke almost in an instant.

Sasuke didn't even have time to react before he was hit by a powerful force.

The whole person flew out like a kite with a broken string and fell heavily to the ground.

"Sasuke!" Karin exclaimed and wanted to go forward to help, but Konan's figure was already blocking her way.

Xiaonan's eyes were cold, and there was a hint of warning in his voice: "Don't act rashly, otherwise you will be treated the same way."

Suigetsu and Chongwu looked at each other, and a hint of hesitation flashed in their eyes.

They knew that they were no match for Pain and Konan, and that any rash action would only bring about their own destruction.

Sasuke struggled to get up from the ground, a trace of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

Anger and unwillingness flashed in his eyes, but he knew that he could not compete with Pain at all.

Pain's strength was far beyond his imagination, even stronger than Uchiha Itachi.

"Why..." Sasuke asked through gritted teeth, a tremor in his voice.

Payne looked at him coldly, his voice devoid of emotion: "Because you interrupted Master Yuxi's meeting. This is your punishment."

Before he could finish his words, Payne attacked again.

This time, his attack was more fierce and Sasuke couldn't resist it at all.

His body was beaten like a sandbag, and every attack made him feel heart-wrenching pain.

Sasuke's consciousness gradually faded and his vision began to dim.

He didn't know how much longer he could hold on, but he knew he couldn't resist any longer.

Finally, Sasuke fell to the ground, covered in blood and almost unconscious.

Pain stopped attacking, gave him a cold look, then turned to Konan and said, "Take him back to the Hidden Rain Village and send him to that dessert shop."

Konan nodded and walked over to help Sasuke up.

Although her movements were gentle, Sasuke could no longer feel any warmth.

His consciousness gradually sank into darkness, as if falling into an endless abyss.

The atmosphere in the conference hall remained solemn.

Minato and Tsunade's faces turned very ugly. They knew that Sasuke's fate could not be changed.

The other figures showed gloating smiles, as if they were enjoying a wonderful performance.

Yu Xi sat in the main seat with a hint of indifference in her eyes.

She seemed completely unfazed by it all, as if what happened to Sasuke was just a trivial matter.

Her fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of her chair, her voice filled with impatience: "That's about it for today's meeting. Please go back and do your own thing."

The atmosphere in the conference hall became more oppressive, and everyone could feel an invisible pressure.

They knew that from today on, the ninja world would usher in a new era.

The ruler of this era is none other than the cold-blooded woman before him—Yu Xi, the goddess of physical skills.

At the same time, in a corner of Yuyin Village

Inside the dessert shop, Uchiha Fugaku and Mikoto were busy making desserts.

There were satisfied smiles on their faces, as if they had forgotten the pain and hatred of the past.

They didn't know that their son, Uchiha Sasuke, was being taken here by Konan.
