Chapter 183: Only by Finding the True Meaning of One's Existence Can One Obtain True Power
However, Kabuto relied on his high-speed movement to easily dodge their attacks.
"Damn it, this guy is too fast!"
Sasuke couldn't help but curse; their attacks couldn't even graze Kabuto.
Kabuto sneered and formed seals again, preparing an even stronger counterattack.
Just then, a powerful force erupted from Kabuto's body.
"Sasuke, do you really think you can defeat me like this? How naive!"
Kabuto sneered, as a thick aura of natural energy began to permeate around his body.
It turned out that Kabuto had once visited a land of heritage as famous as Mount Myōboku—Ryūchi Cave.
There, he gained the ability to manipulate natural energy, and his sensory capabilities improved exponentially as a result.
Feeling the powerful energy surging through Kabuto, both Sasuke and Itachi's expressions grew grim.
They knew this battle would become even more difficult.
"Sasuke, you and Itachi aim to destroy Konoha, and I am here for the same purpose!"
Kabuto looked at Sasuke, trying to persuade him. "We have a common goal. Why not join forces?"
Kabuto thought Sasuke would be tempted, since they both wanted to destroy Konoha.
However, Sasuke shook his head, his gaze firm and cold.
"Kabuto, you're wrong!"
Sasuke said coldly, "My destruction of Konoha is entirely of my own will and has nothing to do with anyone else!"
"As for you, you're nothing but a buffoon. You're not worthy of joining forces with me!"
With that, Sasuke swung his weapon once more, launching a fierce attack at Kabuto.
Itachi followed closely behind, and the two resumed their pincer attack on Kabuto.
Seeing this, Kabuto's expression immediately darkened.
He hadn't expected Sasuke to be so decisive and show him absolutely no respect.
"Since you're so ungrateful, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Kabuto roared and then swung his weapon violently to meet Sasuke and Itachi's attacks.
Instantly, a powerful force erupted, causing the surrounding space to vibrate violently.
As the battle continued, Kabuto's past was also revealed.
As a young child, Kabuto had lost his memories due to severe injuries; he didn't know where he came from or where he was going.
Just as he was wandering the streets in near despair, a gentle hand reached out to him.
It was a woman who ran an Orphanage in Konohagakure, named Yakushi Nonou.
She took Kabuto in, gave him a warm home, and named him "Kabuto."
In the Orphanage, Kabuto spent a happy period of time.
However, as the Orphanage fell into trouble due to funding issues, Kabuto's life became difficult as well.
To keep the Orphanage running, Kabuto began to use the Medical Ninjutsu he had learned from Yakushi Nonou to treat the injuries of Ninjas in exchange for living expenses.
It was also during that time that Kabuto met Orochimaru for the first time.
Orochimaru was a legendary Ninja of Konohagakure, possessing great strength and a bizarre personality.
When Kabuto first met Orochimaru, his heart was filled with awe and unease.
However, he didn't expect that he would later have countless ties with Orochimaru.
Recalling the past, a bitter smile appeared on Kabuto's face.
He was once a homeless orphan, but now he had become a powerful Ninja.
However, behind all this, too much pain and helplessness were hidden.
"Sasuke, Itachi, do you know the pain I have experienced?"
Kabuto looked at the two opponents before him, his heart filled with emotion.
He knew this battle was not just to destroy Konoha, but also to prove the meaning of his existence.
No matter the outcome, he would go all out and fight until the last moment.
To know who he had been until now, Kabuto had made considerable efforts.
He had accumulated the abilities of Kimimaru and the The Four Sound Ninja Guardians, as well as the abilities and information of the Orochimaru he respected, into his own body.
He originally thought that as long as he had enough power, he could prove his existence.
However, he was wrong.
Even with even greater power, he could not escape the emptiness and confusion within his heart.
"Sasuke, Itachi, I will let you know that I, Kabuto, am the truly strong one!"
Kabuto roared and launched a fierce attack on Sasuke and Itachi again.
He wanted to prove the meaning of his existence by defeating them.
However, Itachi only looked at him coldly and shook his head.
"Kabuto, you are wrong."
Itachi said faintly, "Do you think you can prove yourself by devouring the power of others?"
"I'm telling you, true power is not obtained by devouring others. It comes from inner firmness and conviction. Only by finding the true meaning of your existence can you gain true power."
After speaking, Itachi's eyes suddenly became sharp.
He prepared to activate the Uchiha Clan's Forbidden Jutsu to give Kabuto a fatal blow.
