Sasuke's Story: Sunrise, Part 3: Fuushin

What is that?!

Get away from him!

So that's the Sharingan.

What a surprise.

Sasuke using his Sharingan to save someone's life…

Huh?

W-Watch out!

What happened?!

Lady Himeyuri!

Just what is going on?

Leave one of them to me!

We can't save them…

but we can lessen the damage!

How bothersome.

Chino!

What is it?

I didn't expect you to save me… Sasuke dear.

Thank you.

Chino!

Are you okay?

I'm fine, I'm fine... Ow!

You need to get that taken care of.

They're the Exploding Humans that attacked the Hidden Leaf Village.

They're quite troublesome.

I can't make contact with him, so I'm going to get going.

Looks like you won't get to meet Oyashiro.

What?

I told you, didn't I? He's a very cautious man.

I can't imagine he'd stick around after all this uproar.

And since the match ended midway,

there won't be an ID tag transfer ceremony either.

Besides, we won't be able to get any intel on Fuushin,

who belonged to Oyashiro's former guard unit,

who's making all these Exploding Humans.

This has been a total waste of time.

Lord Orochimaru.

What did you say?

Sasuke…

Oyashiro is asking for you.

Go on ahead.

What about you?

I'm going to get this wound looked at.

I'll stick with Chino.

All right.

Oh, hello!

I am En Oyashiro.

Nice to meet you!

Is he really En Oyashiro?

There's no mistake.

It's been a long time, Mr. Orochimaru!

When was the last time we were face to face like this?

It's been so long, I don't remember.

What's going on?

I don't recall you being someone

who'd reveal himself so casually before others like this.

It's only because I witnessed something very interesting.

Though it was quite a shock to see humans explode like that.

They're just like the Exploding Humans

that attacked the Hidden Leaf, right?

You know about that?

You can't be in my line of business

if you're not on top of the news.

They appeared because they were after you, right?

Perhaps, this time.

This time?

Are you saying that they attacked the Hidden Leaf Village

for a different purpose?

I mean, doesn't it seem like it?

They attacked the Hidden Leaf Village with me as their target?

The man creating the Exploding Humans

seems to be a former member of your guard unit.

What? No way!

His name is Fuushin.

You know him, don't you?

Hmm… That kid?

He initially belonged to someone else.

Someone else?

I won him at the Coliseum and assigned him to my guard unit.

I believe he was born on a small island in the Land of Water.

When he was young,

he was sold off by the islanders because they were scared of him.

Sold off?

Isn't that how it is with the Kekkei Genkai?

Weak humans who consider themselves "normal"

always fear unusual power.

It's a disadvantage from the moment you manifest it.

Though personally, I like Kekkei Genkai.

I mean, they're powerful and rare!

That's why I've collected all different kinds for my guard unit.

I've even slaughtered the rest

and left only one to increase the rarity…

The only thing is,

because of the difficult situations surrounding their upbringing,

many of the kids were rebellious.

If I didn't know Medical Ninjutsu,

I probably couldn't have tamed them.

Fuushin was a relatively good kid,

but one day out of the blue, he took the other kids and ran away.

I wonder why he ran away?

I fed them every day and even gave them an allowance.

I've heard enough!

Did Fuushin have red eyes?

Red eyes?

Oh, now that you mention it…

One of the kids who ran away with Fuushin had eyes like that.

Ran away with Fuushin?

So Fuushin has a partner?

Was that Genjutsu Trap his doing?

What was his name?

I've forgotten.

Then remember.

You're so harsh!

Oh, I know!

That kid was from the Chinoike Clan.

The Chinoike Clan?

What is that?

It's a tragic story.

I don't care, tell me.

It goes way back…

Even before the time Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha competed for power.

Bloodshot eyes…

The Chinoike Clan with their Ketsuryugan.

They lived in the Land of Lightning.

They were especially proficient with genjutsu

and once you were caught in their Visual Jutsu,

it was said you could never escape.

Anyway, one of the Chinoike Clan women was sent

to become the concubine of the feudal lord of the Land of Lightning.

She was personable and beautiful…

and that made the lord's consort terribly jealous.
