**[Faced with the death of both parents, host must choose:
Harbor hatred toward Uchiha Itachi;
Preserve the bodies of your parents;
Refuse to choose.]**
The effect of Tsukuyomi had ended. Before Sasuke's consciousness fully returned to his body, the system presented the available options.
"I choose 2—Preserve the bodies of my parents."
Although Sasuke had transmigrated here, the seven years of memories and emotions weren't fake.
He remembered his parents' care, remembered the warmth of being protected by family.
[Host has made a choice. Reward: 30 cubic meters of system storage space.
A new journey has begun.]
The system's voice faded away, and at the same time, Sasuke became aware of the presence of the system space.
"Father… Mother…"
When he opened his eyes, Sasuke saw his parents still lying in a pool of blood. He dragged his exhausted body toward them and gripped their hands.
By this point, Uchiha Itachi had already left, and even the Anbu had come and gone.
Sasuke quickly stored his parents' bodies in the system space, then closed his eyes and collapsed into the blood-covered ground.
Let the Hidden Leaf suspect whatever they wanted—right now, he was just a mentally and emotionally shattered child.
A little while later, the unconscious Sasuke was discovered by the Anbu and taken to the Konoha Hospital.
What happened during that time, Sasuke naturally had no idea.
Seventy-two hours in the Tsukuyomi world—hardly anyone could endure that. Let alone a seven-year-old child.
"Sasuke? Uchiha Sasuke?"
Three days later, under the gentle call of a beautiful nurse, Sasuke slowly opened his eyes.
His gaze was vacant, his expression lost—clearly not fully conscious yet.
"Where… am I?"
His vision gradually cleared. Besides the nurse, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, had just entered the room.
"This is the hospital. You were brought here on the night the entire Uchiha clan was wiped out.
You've been asleep for three days."
The nurse frowned slightly, her red lips parting as she unintentionally reminded Sasuke of that nightmare of a night.
"Ahhh—!"
His black pupils instantly shifted—within his blood-colored eyes, a single tomoe slowly rotated.
But Sasuke had no intention of staying rational. With a scream full of fury and hatred—
He collapsed again.
"Lord Hokage, he…"
The beautiful nurse turned around, her expression full of regret as she looked at the Third Hokage.
She had only meant to check if Sasuke had forgotten the incident… but now it felt like things had gotten much more serious.
Weren't the Uchiha supposed to be really strong?
Why was the only surviving one so fragile?
"Let's wait until he wakes up next time."
Hiruzen said softly.
The Third Hokage hadn't expected things to turn out like this.
Uchiha Sasuke had only awakened a single tomoe in his Sharingan after experiencing the clan massacre—this alone had already disappointed him.
But now, to think the boy couldn't even handle hearing about it?
What a useless waste.
No wonder Danzo didn't want to come—he must've already known this kid was worthless.
Still, the Sharingan was an extremely dangerous and threatening ability.
Both the Anbu and Root would continue sending people to keep an eye on him.
If anything unexpected happened...
Shaking his head, the Third Hokage put those thoughts away. After leaving the hospital, he made his way to the Uchiha compound.
Despite being located on the outskirts of the village, even after such a major incident had occurred, the massacre hadn't affected the daily lives of the villagers at all.
This, at least, he was quite satisfied with.
However, the bodies of Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Mikoto were missing.
Even though Itachi's killing had been confirmed and people had verified their deaths, without seeing the corpses, the Hokage couldn't feel at ease.
This Uchiha Itachi... really is still too disobedient.
