"What do you want me to help you with?" Chizuru asked.
"This matter is very simple, you help me deal with a person." Asahi said, "You neither need to kill him nor capture him, you only need to force him to use all his strength and you can retreat. I believe that with your strength as an elite member of the Uchiha clan, it should be easy to do this."
"Oh? Who is the opponent?" Chizuru asked doubtfully.
Asahi's request sounded very simple. He only needed to force out the other party's full strength. But the more he thought about this, the more wary Chizuru became. If things were really that simple, how could Asahi trade the secret of the Mangekyou Sharingan?
"Sasori of Red Sand." Asahi said.
"The genius puppeteer of Sunagakure, Sasori of Red Sand?" Chizuru had obviously heard of Sasori's name, and immediately asked in confusion, "Have you ever had a problem with him?"
"No." Asahi said, "As long as you help me force out Sasori's full strength, I will tell you the secret of awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan. This should be easy for you to do. Come on, this is a sure-fire deal."
"Since there is no dispute between you and Sasori, why do you deal with him?" Chizuru frowned.
"Of course I have my own purpose, so you don't have to worry about it." Asahi said.
"Do I need to kill him?" Chizuru asked.
"You can't kill him!" Asahi said in a deep voice, "You only need to force out all his strength, and then you can retreat. Of course, you must ensure my safety when retreating. After the matter is completed, I will tell you eye-opening secret."
Sasori had become a rebel-nin. His life or death does not matter. The most important thing was to get the evidence that Sasori killed the Third Kazekage and cause civil strife in Sunagakure.
If Asahi really killed Sasori, he was afraid that old woman Chiyo would immediately fight to death with Asahi.
Although in the original work, the old woman Chiyo killed her grandson with her own hands, that was because Sasori attacked the Kazekage several times, and Sasori's actions had harmed Sunagakure and even the entire ninja world's peace.
But at this time, Chiyo should still love her grandson very much.
"I can promise you this." Chizuru said after thinking for a moment, "But you must first tell me how to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan."
"This is not possible." Asahi shook his head and refused, "You are so strong. What if I tell you how to awaken your eyes now and you go back on your words later?"
"Then how can I be sure that the method you mentioned can really help me awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan?" Chizuru asked.
Asahi smiled and said, "The method I mentioned may not allow you to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan. After all, in addition to the method, you also need qualifications to awaken the Mangekyou. But this method of awakening the Mangekyou is the method that the Second Hokage had guessed based on his knowledge about your clan. You have to have confidence in the Second Hokage. As for my integrity, I believe you have seen it after the last cooperation. And maybe we can continue to cooperate in the future, what do you think? Are you in?"
It was undeniable that every Uchiha clan member was crazy about the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan. The "late" Uchiha Madara relied on the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan to join forces with the First Hokage Senju Hashirama to establish the Konohagakure.
Although in the decisive battle at the Valley of the End, Madara was defeated by Hashirama. But after Hashirama returned to the village, he died not long after. Obviously, in the battle at the Valley of the End, both Madara and the First Hokage suffered losses.
But what people didn't know that Madara's methods were obviously better than Hashirama. The battle in the Valley of the End was Madara's plan to seize the power of the First Hokage. And of course, Madara's plan finally succeeded.
However, apart from Madara and Zetsu, probably only Asahi knew this secret at the moment.
The Uchiha clan had been suppressed by the village's higher-ups and pushed out of the center of power. Now the Uchiha clan might be crazy about getting the Magekyou Sharingan and restoring the glory of the Uchiha clan like during the Warring States Period.
If Chizuru could awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, his status in the Uchiha clan would immediately rise, and he might even become the leader of the Uchiha clan.
Therefore, Asahi was very sure that Chizuru would never be able to refuse his proposal.
"Humph! Now that you and I are far away from the Konoha camp, aren't you afraid that I will capture you and force you to tell the secret of awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan?" Chizuru asked coldly.
"Hahaha! If you still have any sense, you shouldn't have such thoughts." Asahi showed a trace of sarcasm on his lips and said softly, "I left the Konoha camp with you. Many people in the camp saw it, if something happens to me, do you think the village will let you go? Besides, although I am not your opponent now, you can't kill me easily."
"Fine, I agree to your terms." Chizuru finally made up his mind and agreed to Asahi's proposal.
Chizuru couldn't refuse this offer, and he couldn't resist the temptation of the Mangekyou Sharingan. Even if there was only a glimmer of hope, Chizuru would give it a try.
Moreover, Asahi's request was also very simple. As long as he could force out Sasori's full strength, he would have completed his end of the deal. This was not a problem at all for Chizuru.
"Great, then I wish us a happy cooperation!" Asahi said excitedly.
"I hope you didn't lie to me, otherwise I would make sure that your death will be an ugly one." Chizuru said coldly.
"Of course not. A strong collaborator like you is what I look forward to most right now." Asahi said with a smile.
"Humph!" Chizuru snorted, and then asked, "Do you have any leads about Sasori's whereabouts at this time?"
"Of course." Asahi said, "Tomorrow I will go and talk to Orochimaru-sama, and then Orochimaru-sama will send you and I to perform a mission together. Then we will go find Sasori together."
"Can you persuade Orochimaru-sama?" Chizuru obviously didn't believe it.
Asahi glanced at Chizuru and decided to add some more weight to himself. He chuckled lightly and said, "It's not about persuasion, it's about cooperation."
"Cooperation? You and Orochimaru-sama?" Chizuru said in shock.
Asahi smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't underestimate me. Although my personal strength is not too much, there are some things that cannot be accomplished by just strong strength. Just like my cooperation with you, you are so much stronger than me, but wouldn't you still have to obey my orders?"
"Kid! Don't be too arrogant!" Chizuru said fiercely.
Although reaching a cooperation with Asahi, Chizuru was very excited. But being led by a brat also made Chizuru very unhappy.
In the last decisive battle with Sunagakure, he protected Asahi, and this time he had to help Asahi deal with Sasori. Although Chizuru got certain benefits in the end, the feeling of being used by others was still there. It made Chizuru wish to tear Asahi into pieces.
