The Terrifying Future 2

"Hand Nagato over, or I won't mind killing you."

Jueming looked at Yahiko.

Yahiko stopped Kakashi. "You see him as a brother... but he might not see you as one right now... Don't go over there..."

"That's right. Don't come any closer, Kakashi, or you're just courting death..." Sayuri said coldly.

Kakashi steadied his breathing and clenched his fists. "Jueming, have you forgotten what you said before... Do you want... Lord Momoka to die without peace...?"

"!"

Jueming suddenly shot Kakashi a fierce glare.

As though struck by a hammer, Kakashi suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Kakashi, don't say another word. I only want to obtain the Rinnegan and use the Outer Path — Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique to revive the people who died..."

"And what's the price?"

Kakashi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Nagato's death? Kill one person... to save everyone?"

"Isn't that what you're doing right now as well?"

Jueming replied calmly.

Kakashi was instantly rendered speechless.

"Don't waver... Kakashi..."

Yahiko shouted.

"Momoka Senju has mutated... There's nothing we can do about that. Nagato is a living, breathing person!!"

Encouraged by Yahiko, Kakashi took a deep breath.

"Tekka, you and I..."

Just as Kakashi was about to urge the bewildered Tekka Uchiha to persuade Jueming with him...

Sayuri suddenly thrust out her kunai.

In a flash.

Using the Flying Thunder God in tandem, she had already slashed open Kakashi's throat.

"Jueming... If something troubles you, then let me do it for you..."

Sayuri said calmly.

"Kakashi Hatake, sleep for a while... When you wake up, everyone will have been revived..."

Except... Nagato...?

Kakashi's consciousness blurred.

Then, he sank into darkness...

"!!"

Kakashi jolted awake, cold sweat beading on his forehead as he sat up from his bed.

"Failed again..." Pakkun
