"So? What are your thoughts after listening?"

Seeing that Sasuke had regained his senses somewhat, Yi Shuihan asked with a smile.

"Is all this true?"

Sasuke asked hesitantly, utterly shocked and unable to believe it.

"Of course it's true. Why would I tell you a story if it were false?" Yi Shuihan said, ignoring Sasuke's thoughts, and continued, "This is all history. You can just learn about it. The important part is what comes next: the correct way the Sharingan evolved. Let me test you first. After hearing this history, what do you think is the correct way the Sharingan evolved?"

When asked the question, Sasuke lowered his head and thought carefully before answering, "Does the Sharingan need to kill the person closest to you to evolve?"

Yi Shuihan covered his forehead, feeling that all his words had been wasted, and this was the conclusion he had drawn.

Sasuke looked at Yi Shuihan, who had a deathly expression, somewhat at a loss. He realized he had made a mistake from Yi Shuihan's expression, so he tried to continue, "Does it mean I need to understand what love is?"

Yi Shuihan shook his head expressionlessly!

"Only when you're protecting the people you want to protect can you unleash your potential and let it evolve." Sasuke thought about his own situation, but he just didn't want Sakura to commit suicide, and he was also worried about Naruto, so he activated his Sharingan.

Chapter 431, Let Sasuke confess to Naruto

"Wrong, wrong, how can you be so stupid? You can't even figure out something so obvious, isn't it obvious? The correct way to evolve is..."

Yi Shuihan drawled out the last syllable, while Sasuke stared wide-eyed at Yi Shuihan, waiting for the correct answer.

"The correct way to evolve is through emotional torment! Only when your heart is tormented can the Sharingan evolve. Isn't that easy to summarize?"

"Look at the Sage of Six Paths. He was heartbroken because he personally injured his brother, right? He directly evolved his Sharingan into the Rinnegan. And Indra? He was heartbroken when he saw his younger brother being bullied, which is why his Sharingan appeared. In the end, although he advanced his Sharingan further because he killed two of his loyal followers, the evolution was not because he killed his closest people, but because the heartache he felt while killing them led to this result."

Yi Shuihan rattled off a long list of things, leaving Sasuke only able to nod in confusion.

"So it was because of the emotional torment." Sasuke said, sensing that something was wrong, but unable to put his finger on it.

When Yi Shuihan saw that Sasuke had finally grasped the correct way to evolve the Sharingan, he immediately put on an act of being a teachable child.

Of course, this was all on the surface; in reality, Yi Shuihan was already laughing hysterically inside.

The so-called "heartbreaking" sounds reasonable, but it's just something Yi Shuihan said casually. The real key is to rely on the growth of spiritual power and the activation of bloodline.

It's not that every Uchiha clan leader can kill their own people to attain enlightenment, nor is it that every Uchiha clan member who has been abused can evolve their Sharingan. Otherwise, why is the Mangekyou Sharingan so rare?

Yi Shuihan actually said that on purpose. His purpose was simple: with this premise, what he was about to do would be logical.

Since the evolution of the Sharingan requires emotional torment, it's only natural that Sasuke would suffer some hardship. How can one become stronger without suffering, and how can the Sharingan evolve without suffering?

Due to system limitations, Yi Shuihan had no choice but to make Sasuke stronger, but the system cared about the result, while the process was to be controlled by Yi Shuihan.

Damn it, I wasted so much of your time and energy just to make you stronger. If I let you become stronger easily and comfortably, then who would be the protagonist, you or me?

As the book says, "When Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a person, it first tests their will, strains their muscles and bones, starves their body, empties their resources, and disrupts their actions, so as to strengthen their resolve, temper their character, and increase their abilities."

So, Sasuke, in order for you to cherish this hard-won power, in order for Naruto to be more balanced, and even more so in order for me to be happier, you'd better be prepared to suffer!

Realizing the potential advantage, Yi Shuihan unconsciously revealed an evil smile, which made Sasuke feel as if he were being watched by a ghost, and a chill suddenly ran down his spine.

"I won't waste any more words. Just do as I say. If you persevere, I guarantee you'll be completely transformed. It's not impossible for you to transform your two-tomoe Sharingan into the Mangekyou Sharingan in three days. And if you can keep going, by the time you take the final exam, you'll have the strength to defeat your brother, Itachi Uchiha."

Yi Shuihan said enticingly, knowing that for Sasuke, revenge was now his greatest motivation, and he said this to stimulate Sasuke's potential.

"It's possible to become even stronger than that guy."

Sasuke's eyes blazed with an unprecedented light, and he seemed to burst into flames, becoming a completely different person from before.

Good heavens, what deep-seated grudge could they possibly have?

Is this what they mean by "the deeper the love, the deeper the hate"?

The bromance between brothers is something we can't possibly fathom.

For the sake of Konoha, Itachi Uchiha was willing to kill his parents, but for the sake of his younger brother, he disregarded Konoha altogether.

My foolish disciple, it seems I must go back and arrange a marriage for you. I can't let our brotherly bromance continue to grow, otherwise, you might even dare to kill me for Sasuke's sake.

Yi Shuihan thought to herself that she really intended to help Uchiha Itachi find a partner. In his previous life, Itachi was a bachelor until his death, and she couldn't stand it.

Itachi's extreme behavior stems from his lack of understanding of the pleasures of male-female relationships; otherwise, he wouldn't be so restless and carelessly throw away his own life.

"Although doing this might break you two brothers up and reduce the number of women men can choose from, it's all worth it. On a smaller scale, it's for Itachi Uchiha's physical and mental health; on a larger scale, it's for the sustainable development of the world! If this situation isn't stopped, who will inherit Itachi Uchiha's excellent genes? The world will lose another group of outstanding individuals. Who can bear such a loss?"

Okay, I'm overthinking it. Let's get back to the main point.

The opportunity to become stronger and take revenge has never been so close to Sasuke. Sasuke has made up his mind that he will persevere even if it means death, and he must obtain enough power.

"Nice eyesight, I hope you can keep it up."

Looking at Sasuke with increasingly appreciative eyes, Yi Shuihan encouraged him.

"Alright, are you ready now? If you are, we'll start right away."

"Ready? Let's begin!"

How can I get the Mangekyou Sharingan in just 3 days? Sasuke desperately wanted to know the answer.

"First, let's practice a bit. Since it takes a lot of emotional pain to evolve the Sharingan, you need to be mentally prepared. Okay, go find Naruto right now and confess to him."

"..."

Sasuke froze on the spot, his expectant expression completely stiffening.

"Go...go and confess to...Naruto?"

Sasuke had a really ugly look on his face, like he was being told "Are you kidding me?"

"Is there a problem? Do you feel embarrassed and really don't want to go? That's right, that's the feeling we want. Just thinking about it makes you feel bad, and actually doing it would be so heartbreaking. That's the effect we want."

Yi Shuihan's explanation was so logical and reasonable that he almost said that confessing his love would allow his Sharingan to evolve, enabling him to easily defeat all kinds of masters.

Sasuke was so easily fooled by Yi Shuihan that he immediately became confused and actually believed Yi Shuihan's nonsense.

Chapter 432, 7 Seeing Naruto but not recognizing him

Even though Sasuke's pursuit of power had reached an extreme level, he still hesitated when faced with something that no normal man would do.

Sasuke couldn't accept confessing his feelings to a man, especially one with whom he had a complicated relationship. If it had been someone else, he would have already turned against them.

Yi Shuihan had only just explained to him why he should do this, and with a bit of persuasion, Sasuke became even more convinced that if he did this, his Sharingan might really evolve.

It's precisely because of this unwillingness and resistance in your heart that doing this is effective, isn't it?

Looking at Sasuke's conflicted expression, Yi Shuihan felt extremely relieved. Happiness is built on the suffering of others, and that saying is absolutely true!

We still need to add some ingredients.

To get Sasuke to make a decision quickly, Yi Shuihan immediately changed his expression, looking at Sasuke with extreme disappointment and a look of utter frustration. He waved his hand dejectedly and said, "Fine, fine. If you're unwilling, then forget it. If this method doesn't work, there are other ways. With your talent, if you work hard for a few decades, you still have a chance to reach your brother's level. When you're at your peak and your brother's physical condition declines, there will still be a good chance of revenge."

Yi Shuihan's words were not veiled, and the meaning was easy for Sasuke to understand. He was not optimistic about Sasuke's talent and was telling him that if he did not follow Yi Shuihan's methods, he would only be able to rely on time and luck to take revenge and see who could live longer.

Sasuke didn't feel that Yi Shuihan looked down on him; on the contrary, he agreed wholeheartedly because he knew what a genius his brother was, and how much stronger he was than Sasuke at his age.

Sasuke saw the disappointment and frustration in Yi Shuihan's eyes, and immediately felt guilty.

Now that things have come to this, how can I back down? I've already made revenge my everything, should I give up because of this little difficulty?

If we didn't have the opportunity before, so be it; now that the opportunity is right in front of us, we must seize it firmly.

Seeing Sasuke's eyes gradually harden, Yi Shuihan knew that he had achieved his goal.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but please give me another chance. I will definitely overcome myself and go to Naruto to confess my feelings right now."

"Wouldn't that be too much to handle? Maybe we should take it slow for now?"

"No need. I'm afraid that if this continues, the courage I've just mustered will disappear completely."

"The wind howls, the Yi River is cold, the hero departs, never to return." This line truly fits the current scene. Yi Shuihan looked at Sasuke, who had a serious expression, as if he were about to do something sacred, and sighed inwardly, "Another kid has already lost his mind."

"Beep, Sasuke has been tricked by a trick, his IQ has dropped by 50%, and he has reached the critical point. Please recharge as soon as possible."

In order not to increase Sasuke's pressure, Yi Shuihan secretly followed behind Sasuke without letting Sasuke notice.

As for Sasuke,

With a do-or-die mentality, they finally found Naruto, but the search took a long time and was fraught with difficulties.

This process was even more complicated than Yu the Great's three times passing by his home without entering while controlling the floods. Sasuke ignored Naruto seven times, continuing to search for Naruto even though he was right in front of him, as if he couldn't see Naruto at all.

Yi Shuihan, who had been following behind Sasuke, saw for the first time that the two were no more than 1 meter apart. But when Sasuke ignored Naruto and left, he was already speechless. In the following 6 times, even when Naruto called out to Sasuke, Sasuke was still in his own world and had no idea that Naruto was there. Yi Shuihan was speechless.

"Is it going to be the same again this time?"

Yi Shuihan felt that if this continued, he would be unable to resist forcibly intervening.

Fortunately, it seems that Sasuke finally saw Naruto this time and did not choose to ignore him again.

"Sasuke, Sasuke, what's wrong with you? Why don't you answer me no matter how many times I call you?"

Naruto was only puzzled by Sasuke's repeated absences from greeting him, unaware of Sasuke's current expression, and even less aware of what he was about to face.

"Naruto, come with me, I have something to tell you!"

Sasuke looked at Naruto with a serious expression, his eyes filled with undisguised earnestness.

"Ah? Oh!"

Naruto was a little confused by Sasuke's expression, but since he considered Sasuke a friend, he still agreed to Sasuke's request.

The two followed a small path and finally arrived at a relatively secluded place.

"Just say what you have to say."

Looking at Sasuke with curiosity, Naruto was also very concerned that Sasuke had brought him to such a remote place to talk.

"Naruto, I like..." Sasuke opened and closed his mouth repeatedly, his face turning red.

"What exactly are you trying to say? Speak up!"

Naruto said impatiently, "This is the first time I've ever seen Sasuke like this!"

Sasuke took a deep breath, mentally encouraging himself, and then shouted, "Naruto, I like you, I love you, go out with me!"

"What? So you like me and want to... date me!?"

Realizing what was happening, Naruto jumped back abruptly, looking at Sasuke warily with a face full of shock.

This is too much information for Naruto to understand! His mind is completely blank.

Sasuke actually likes me and wants to date me?!

Sasuke, you like...you like me...

"Oh, I don't like men. I like Sakura, you know that."

Naruto stammered, his expression filled with terror as he looked at Sasuke. He had actually believed Sasuke's confession.

Feeling Naruto's disdainful gaze, Sasuke felt incredibly awkward and conflicted, a complex and indescribable emotion spreading through his heart.

Whether it was Sasuke's imagination or not, under these circumstances, even if he did feel an energy being generated in his body, his Sharingan reacted to this energy.

Does this really work? Can it really make the Sharingan evolve?

Well, although that wasn't Yi Shuihan's original intention, Sasuke's spirit actually did increase slightly after confessing to the man and being stimulated by Naruto's disdainful look, and Sasuke even sensed it.

Chapter 433, A Heartbreaking Journey

Sasuke appeared somewhat dazed to Naruto because he was preoccupied with the evolution of the Sharingan.

"Could it be because I rejected him that he couldn't stand it? But I really only like Sakura." Naruto's mind was in turmoil, and in the end, he simply abandoned Sasuke and ran away.

Even if Naruto is incredibly thick-skinned and optimistic, he still couldn't accept a confession from someone of the same sex for the first time. This reaction was exactly what Yi Shuihan expected. On the contrary, if Naruto had calmly accepted Sasuke's confession, Yi Shuihan would have truly had his worldview shattered.

"Crack...crack...crack..."

After Naruto left, Yi Shuihan clapped his hands and came out, looking at Sasuke with admiration.

"Well done, Sasuke. Keep it up, and I guarantee you'll be a completely different person in three days."

"Senior, you saw it all?"

Awakened by Yi Shuihan, Sasuke was somewhat hesitant; after all, he was still a boy and had a sense of shame.

"That's right. I've been following you from the very beginning, just to make you less nervous, so you didn't notice."

Yi Shuihan said frankly.

Sasuke looked at Yi Shuihan with gratitude upon hearing this. In his opinion, Yi Shuihan was too good to him and was genuinely thinking of him.

"Alright, you've already taken the first step, you're halfway there. As long as you keep going, the Sharingan will evolve sooner or later. Now, let's move on to the second task."

Sasuke's heart skipped a beat. Hearing Yi Shuihan's so-called mission, he felt a chill run down his spine and had an urge to run away. However, thinking that this was the only way to quickly become stronger, Sasuke held back.
