Black Zetsu didn't answer Yuuki's question directly; instead, he offered an explanation.
"To activate Infinite Tsukuyomi, one must first become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki. At that time, the Eye of the Moon will open on the forehead. I'm not sure how much Sharingan power it consumes, as I've never successfully achieved it myself."
Yuuki stared intently into Black Zetsu's eyes.
He couldn't see anything!
Yuuki couldn't tell if Black Zetsu truly didn't know or if he knew but didn't want to say.
However, Yuuki guessed it probably wouldn't consume Sharingan power; otherwise, even the Nine-Tomoe Rinne Sharingan wouldn't be able to withstand the consumption.
Yuuki had no desire to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, even without considering the hidden dangers within it.
In the original story, whether it was Obito or Madara, after becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, they became strong, but at the cost of their coolness factor, and their appearance plummeted.
Yuuki was no longer human, but at least when he wasn't activating his template abilities, he still looked human.
After chatting about some irrelevant issues, Yuuki dismissed Black Zetsu.
Yuuki glanced at the moon, estimating it was past 9 o'clock. Tonight had been quite good; at least all the annoying guys had been driven away.
As for what to do next, of course, it was time to go home and eat.
Since the Ninja Academy had also postponed its dismissal time, Natsuri didn't arrive home much earlier than Yuuki.
Before their two children returned home, Takuma and Mina had prepared dinner early but hadn't touched a bite, reheating the food again and again.
When Yuuki arrived home, the food had just been reheated, and the family of four happily enjoyed a normal dinner together.
In Konoha Hospital.
Yuhi looked with moist eyes at Asuma, who was in a coma and barely recognizable.
Asuma had already received treatment. Yuhi simply sat quietly by his hospital bed, watching over him. Tonight was destined to be sleepless.
Not only Yuhi couldn't sleep; at this moment, in Fugaku's home.
Sasuke excitedly held a perfect test paper above his head, anticipating praise from his parents.
Mikoto gave Sasuke a very forced smile. Coupled with her red and slightly swollen eyes, she looked worse crying than smiling.
Fugaku wanted to smile, but knowing his own appearance, he maintained his stoic expression and said,
"Very good, Sasuke. You are indeed my son."
Sasuke noticed Mikoto's unusual behavior. Just as he felt something was off and wanted to ask, he uncharacteristically heard Fugaku's praise.
Normally, this compliment only applied to Itachi, and because of this, Sasuke had always felt his father didn't like him.
Receiving Fugaku's praise, Sasuke immediately cast Mikoto's strangeness to the back of his mind, enveloped by immense joy.
Unaccustomed to it, Sasuke even became a little shy, his free hand unconsciously reaching to scratch the back of his head.
Sasuke, who was gradually turning into Naruto, reacted before fully touching the back of his head. He was actually imitating that idiot Naruto!
Sasuke instantly pulled his hand back from behind his head, his smile disappearing, replaced by what he thought was a serious, but was actually a stoic, expression as he nodded.
Ultimately, thanks to the clear sky, Sasuke, who didn't carry the burden of a blood feud, maintained his stoic expression for only a few seconds before looking around, his eyes filled with anticipation and joy as he asked,
"Where's big brother?"
"Itachi he..."
Mikoto immediately opened her mouth to respond, but didn't know what to say next. Seeing this, Fugaku directly took over.
"Itachi has a mission tonight. He won't be back."
Sasuke's eyes showed some disappointment upon hearing this, but it quickly vanished. If not tonight, then he would tell his big brother when he returned tomorrow night.
What Sasuke didn't notice was that Fugaku was currently staring out a window at a certain spot, lost in thought.
Following Fugaku's gaze, on a not-too-distant utility pole, a crow was also watching intently.
After a moment of staring at the crow, Fugaku turned his head.
"Sasuke, go eat dinner first."
"Yes, Father."
Sasuke's mood became even more joyful. Had Father finally recognized his excellence? He had spoken so much with him tonight.
After Sasuke's figure disappeared from the window, the crow standing on the utility pole suddenly transformed into a human figure squatting on the pole.
Fugaku, as if sensing something, turned his head again, only to see a rapidly departing black shadow.
For most people in Konoha, this night was not much different from usual.
The only difference was that it was a little more pleasant than usual.
Konoha Village's ordinary and slightly pleasant night passed just like that.
