At this time, at the entrance of the Konoha Military Police Force headquarters, on a Lake, two figures were shuttled one after another.
The one in front is like red lightning, flashing back and forth, constantly entering the water, the house, and between Forest.
But no matter how fast he went or how tricky his direction was, he could not get rid of the strange figure behind him that suddenly disappeared and then appeared like a scene in a movie clip.
However, the one who is more anxious among them is not the former, but the latter who has been distracted for a long time.
"Although this bastard is fast, he seems to be able to detect the location of my Kamui in advance every time, which makes it more difficult...Sensory Ninjutsu? Or is there a special Dojutsu similar to Byakugan?" Another shot missed, and Obito Uchiha looked up at the figure who had dived into the water again in annoyance.
He is stalling for time.
Obito knows this very well.
But who is the other party, and why does he know his true identity? If he is Konoha, does Uchiha Itachi also know his...
No, no, we can't think about it anymore. If it really doesn't work, let him who is monitoring Danzo come over too. Attacked from both sides, he will definitely not be able to escape!
Obito clenched his fists. He felt that he had lost his mind at this time. The reason was because every time he tried to force himself to calm down, the head of the fake Kakashi popped up out of the water.
He was still the image of the white-haired boy with the mask in his mind, and his poor acting skills and Transformation Technique, which had been seen through by his Sharingan, were just like deliberately mocking Obito, making him unable to suppress his emotions.
Moreover, the Kakashi transformed by Nine-Tails is even more in need of a fight than the Kakashi in Obito's memory.
His teasing remarks to Obito from time to time made him furious. "What's going on, Obito Uchiha. Your Mangekyō Sharingan is not very easy to use, is it already blind? You have to wait for me every time, oh, I understand, there is no way, after all, you were so slow back then, that's why you couldn't catch up and save Lin!"
"I X!" Obito finally couldn't help but cursed and rushed towards Nine-Tails with murderous intent.
And the Kakashi that Nine-Tails turned into also laughed and dived under the water.
But it is not so relaxed and happy inside.
It can feel that if this Shadow Clone continues, it will reach its limit.
"Minato, don't let me down... your expectations."
Within the Genjutsu space of Tsukuyomi.
Uchiha Itachi lowered his head and fell into a long silence, but this silence was so deafening to Minato Namikaze's ears.
Although time is running out and I don't know how much time difference there is in this Genjutsu space, Minato Namikaze is still waiting for Itachi's answer.
"So..." Finally, Uchiha Itachi raised his head. His expression was still so cold, but the sadness in his Mangekyō Sharingan, which was only opened because his best friend died in front of him, was almost overflowing, making Minato feel pain in his heart, "What on earth... am I doing? What is all this, all this for?"
The corners of his eyes were already filled with tears.
Itachi's tears
At this moment, Itachi had no idea how many thoughts were coming to his mind, but the only emotion that penetrated deeply into his heart was self-mockery.
Self-mockery bordering on self-destruction.
He had never felt so disgusted with himself, and he even had the idea that he shouldn't exist.
Looking at Itachi in front of him, Minato said nothing.
[It's not your fault.]
Minato originally wanted to speak to try to comfort her, but he couldn't.
Yes, no matter what, a big mistake has been made. Although Uchiha Itachi is only twelve or thirteen years old, in the eyes of Minato at this moment and with the situation he understands.
Minato Namikaze simply cannot treat the other person as a child.
Those words of comfort that seemed to be understanding but were actually superior were not something he Minato Namikaze was qualified to say.
After all, he is still Fourth Hokage of Konoha. This identity means that he is also the representative of the huge stone that weighs on Itachi's tragic life.
After all, he also thinks that he is also an unfit father.
After all, he also just realized that the root cause of all this was just a group of paranoid people who mistakenly pursued the so-called peace. In a situation led by them, people who claimed to be smart and thinking were fighting each other, while the masterminds behind the scenes were enjoying the benefits.
How ironic.
Even after getting to know Truth, it was natural for Itachi to despair about the village, Uchiha, and even Hokage.
But the next moment, Uchiha Itachi's behavior shocked Minato.
After almost breaking down and crying silently for a long time, he stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears without trace.
When he looked up at Minato again, his expression was filled with seriousness. "Master Fourth Hokage, I don't have much time left to sustain this Tsukuyomi Space. If I still need to maintain a certain combat power, the load of Mangekyō Sharingan can only last for half an hour at most. Tell me, what should I do?"
Minato admitted that he was shocked by the young man in front of him.
What kind of strong heart does this have, and how rotten is Konoha now, to force this young man to this point and let him make a choice...
But no matter what, Itachi's attitude at this time made Minato's plan half successful.
"First of all, we must let the only remaining Uchiha survive." Minato said, as if thinking of something, he added, "There should be some survivors now, right?"
"Because my brother Sasuke came back early, there are still some people who I can't take action in time and can only use Genjutsu to control them first. There are still some people who should hide... but Madara Uchiha, no, Obito Uchiha will not let them go." Itachi tightened his fists and raised questions.
"Don't worry, I have a trustworthy companion to contain him, but we have to do it as soon as possible. In this way, after you remove this Tsukuyomi Space, we will immediately gather the survivors." After hearing that there was indeed someone alive, Minato nodded.
"Survivors... So, by now, Uchiha Clan Compound must have been surrounded by Anbu. They will not let Uchiha leave. If they want to leave..." Itachi raised his head and looked at Minato, his eyes firm but with a hidden will to die, "Master Fourth Hokage, I will fight it out alone..."
"As you said, it is a fact that Uchiha is plotting a revolution. Ordering you to do this also means that they must be on guard against you and do not consider sacrifice easily." Minato interrupted Itachi, who calmly expressed his thoughts, "But Uchiha Clan of Konoha must disappear tonight, there is no doubt about it."
"Then? Uchiha still can't escape this disaster?" Itachi had already lost his normal judgment at this time, "Please believe me, Mr. Fourth Hokage, you could have done it back then..."
"No, disappearing does not mean death." Minato looked at Itachi and shook his head to interrupt him, "Death means disappearing, but leaving without being noticed is also disappearing."
"The Anbu you are worried about... or Root, mainly Danzo, right? I have arrangements, at least this time he can't get away, so you don't have to worry about him."
"In addition, I once hid Flying Thunder God Kunai in a hidden place. Although the environment there is not good, it is definitely hidden. In short, gather the survivors and let me take them away with Flying Thunder God Technique."
"Let Uchiha, leave...Konoha." Uchiha Itachi murmured, and he seemed to understand what Fourth Hokage meant.
This was something he and Shisui had never thought of. They had always considered the priority between the village and Family, but they had never thought of standing up and leading some people to leave.
Not all, but giving choices.
"Yes, leaving the 'now' Konoha is the best choice for them." Minato looked at Itachi gently, "This time, I believe that Uchiha Clan will not take the wrong path again. From now on, whether it is the village or the entire Shinobi World, I believe that you who survived will definitely change everything."
"It's just that this change takes time."
"... I understand."
Itachi closed his eyes, suppressing all his emotions.
"Then, let's get started." Minato patted his shoulder and got ready.
Itachi's closed eyes, Chakra worked slowly, and was about to release Tsukuyomi, when Minato suddenly said, "Itachi, your father is not only your relative, but also the leader of the Family, Konoha's Ninja. But as a father, I can understand that the result of his choice is not only a reply to the village and Family, but also his love for you and Sasuke. Facing the future of the Family destruction, he still did not choose to fight you, his sacrifice..."
I'm sorry.
Minato didn't say the last sentence because it didn't make sense.
So, he said something else.
"You have to learn to accept his choice, understand his helplessness, and then understand what it means in the end for him to fulfill your path, and finally... transcend what he couldn't get rid of Fate." Minato smiled warmly, "This is the task you, as children, have to complete."
Also, the truly inherited Will of Fire.
Itachi didn't say anything, but he already understood his path.
Tsukuyomi, Cancelled!
