At the border of the Land of Fire.
Nagato had spent a day here, and he had worked here for a day as well.
What kind of work? Just like Shisui before him, he used Water Release to irrigate the refugees' fields.
For Nagato, it was a trivial task, but the refugees living here had no idea how to thank him enough.
This time... Itachi had not chosen to establish a base here.
This was not his world. He might leave after a while.
Without someone powerful to protect it, any base he established would probably be destroyed before long.
So... if red thought was to spread throughout this world, the people of this world would have to do it themselves...
After a day's wait, this world's Itachi finally came to see him.
But it was not his real body that came, only a shadow clone.
When this world's Itachi saw Otherworld Itachi's face, his pupils contracted.
"Who... are you?"
This world's Itachi asked in a low voice.
"I'm you! Only... I'm you from a parallel world!"
"We traveled through time and space using the dragon vein to reach this shinobi world..."
Otherworld Itachi explained how he had come to this world.
To prove his story, Otherworld Itachi also revealed some secrets only Itachi would know.
For example... when Itachi was little and bathed with his mother, he had once lifted his unmentionable part and asked her, "What is this? Why don't you have one, Mother...?"
The fact that Itachi could ask such a question showed that he had been an inquisitive, well-behaved child from a young age, with plenty of ideas of his own...
Naturally, Itachi would never tell anyone about embarrassing memories like that... these were things only Itachi knew...
Of course... that was not the only embarrassing
