Sasuke POV
After sending Alpha to rest, I opened my system window.
[Points: 30]
Good. Enough for another spin.
"Let's see if last month's luck is still there," I muttered, already knowing the answer would probably be no.
The wheel lit up, showing the ten possible rewards:
1. Sarada Uchiha (Naruto)
2. Blizzard ×1 (Witcher)
3. 1 CP
4. T-Sphere (DC)
5. Kurogiri (MHA)
6. Aizen's Glasses (Bleach)
7. Charizard Keychain (Pokémon)
8. Simba's Corpse (The Lion King)
9. Tony Stark's Wine Collection (Marvel)
10. Dorayaki ×5 (Doraemon)
I stared at the list.
"…What the hell."
Most of this was absolute garbage. Other than the templates, maybe the T-Sphere if I reverse-engineer it and the Witcher potion has some use. But Simba's corpse? A keychain? Dorayaki?
The system really had jokes today.
"Sigh… I guess I can't win every month."
My eyes went straight to the templates again. And the moment I saw the first one, the decision was already made.
Sarada Uchiha.
Yeah, I was going to assimilate her. Obviously.
What? It's perfectly normal. I barely have any jutsu variety right now, and she has plenty. If she comes from a timeline where she's already awakened her Mangekyō, that's basically free power. Only an idiot would ignore it.
And before anyone tries to play the moral card,
No, she's not my daughter. She's daughter of an alternate version from some timeline where Sasuke chose to forgive Konoha for wiping out the Uchiha.
Honestly? That already tells me she isn't "my Sarada." The blood might be the same, but the context isn't.
Please. If I really wanted to do that, I'd just build some multiverse-travel device and pull Uchihas from timelines where Itachi also murdered everyone. Or hell, I could just make my own harem if I really cared that much about repopulation.
But I can't help thinking—
A Sasuke who forgives Konoha that easily Does he even love the Uchiha?
Maybe he was too young to understand the weight of losing a clan…Or maybe that version of me was just emotionally numb. Like his father. Like his brother.
Honestly I am grateful, in a twisted way, that Father traded everyone else's life for mine. But at the same time, it feels… wrong. He let the entire clan die without lifting a finger. Without even trying.
Sometimes it's hard not to see him as a part of the genocide, just as much as the village was.
And the more I think about it, the more it bothers me.
Did he choose silence for me… or for Itachi?
He was always prouder of my brother. Always softer with him. He could never bring himself to stand against his favourite.
…Sniff.
I know it's wrong to question it but I can't stop myself.
"Hah… maybe I'm twisted too." A dry laugh slipped out of me. "In fact, isn't it normal? I'm an 'evil Uchiha' after all."
I shook my head, forcing my eyes closed for a moment as I inhaled deeply. Slow. Controlled.
Breathe in. Breathe out.
Push everything aside.
The bitterness. The questions.
When I opened my eyes again, the world felt colder, but clearer.
"It doesn't matter if I'm a psychopath," I muttered, "And it doesn't matter why Father didn't fight. It was his decision. And he's dead."
I stepped forward, fingers curling into a fist.
"What matters is that I'm alive. And I'm proud to be an Uchiha."
My Sharingan flickered in the reflection of the sword.
"I'm going to destroy Konoha. I'm going to avenge the Uchiha genocide. And no one absolutely no one is going to change that."
Maybe… maybe even I don't even love the Uchiha as much as I should.
Maybe part of me just wants to stand above Itachi the same way he stood above everyone else.
Maybe I want him to suffer to look up at me from the bottom for once, to watch the collapse of everything he cherished while he's completely helpless.
Maybe my reasons are twisted. Maybe I'm twisted.
It doesn't matter.
What matters is simple.
At the end of the day, the Uchiha will get justice.
And every single person involved every conspirator, every coward, every smiling elder
is going to suffer for what they did.
That much, I'll make sure of.
I let out a long breath, the fire inside me settling just a little as I shifted my gaze to the next template on the list.
Kurogiri…Right. His quirk was the result of stitching multiple quirks together a forced fusion.
Unethical? Sure.
Effective? Also yes.
Atleast my mobility will increase with it.
I want to Assimilate them both immediately but none of the slots are empty yet.
I think rudeus will be Assimilated soon even before bruce which isn't weird considering the skill difference between them.
I wanted to Assimilate both him and Sarada right away, absorb everything and push forward but the slots were still full. No space.
Tch.
