Three days later.

Kakashi and Sakura arrive in the confinement room and open Naruto's door.

"Naruto. "Kakashi.

"Huh? Kakashi-sensei and Sakura-chan. "Naruto.

"How's the reflection?" Kakashi.

“…… I'm sorry, I shouldn't have ......" Naruto.

"I'm not here to hear you apologize...... But remember, it's not an example!" Kakashi said solemnly.

"It's ......" Naruto.

"Okay, come out. "Kakashi.

"Great...... Sakura's heart was set down with a stone.

Then, Kakashi opened Sasuke's door.

"......" Sasuke.

"Sasuke, revenge, forget it. Kakashi knew that Sasuke hadn't reflected.

"......" Sasuke.

"Because of my work, I've seen a lot of people like you. Those who talk about revenge will end up with no good ends...... Instead, it will hurt you deeper and more painfully...... Even if your revenge succeeds, you'll only end up feeling empty......" Kakashi tried to convince Sasuke.

"You don't understand anything! Don't pretend to teach me a lesson!" Sasuke shouted angrily.

"......" Kakashi.

"Why don't you kill your most important person now, so you can know how stupid your words are!" Sasuke laughed wickedly.

Naruto.

"Sasuke......" Sakura.

"Hmm...... That's a good idea...... But alas, I don't have any important people anymore. "Kakashi.

"Sasuke, Naruto.

"Huh?" Sakura.

"Because, they were all killed. Kakashi said with a smile.

"!?" Sasuke, Sakura, Naruto.

"I'm much older than you, and I've been through even more chaotic times than I am now. I know the pain of losing a loved one better than anyone else. "Kakashi.

"......" Sasuke, Naruto.

"It's just that you and I are not lucky enough, but we are not the most unlucky. "Kakashi.

Sasuke.

Sakura-chan.

"Hmm, what do you mean?" Naruto thought.

"Haven't we all found our most important companion?" Kakashi.

"......" The three of them lowered their heads, thinking about the other two in their hearts.

"It is precisely because we will lose that we can experience happiness. You can get the power of a thousand birds because I see that you already have the most important thing for you. That power isn't for you to use against your companions or for revenge......" Kakashi.

"......" Sasuke has been shaken.

"What's so bad about revenge. "A man dressed in blue and brown walked in.

"Who are you?" Kakashi asked warily.

"Matsui Kuronha, a free man. "Matsui Black Lotus.

"Huh? Big sister. "Naruto.

"Naruto, do you know her?" Sakura-chan.

"Ah, that's what I told you, the big sister who defeated Ichio!" Naruto said happily.

"That man......" Sasuke remembered that the man who had been injured in the battle with Iara, was unconscious, but woke up halfway through and saw Kuro Lotus suppressing Ichio, and also saw Naruto summon a large toad.

"Big sister, why are you here?" asked Naruto happily.

"I'm here to stop you from trying to persuade Sasuke. "Black Lotus.

"!?"

"Why?" Kakashi asked solemnly.

"Whether it's revenge or protection, it's an important motivation to become stronger, and if two exist at the same time, the speed of getting stronger will be faster......" Black Lotus.

"......" Kakashi.

“…… Moreover, since he wants revenge so much, let him go, and the moment he knows the truth, he will know what it means to be in pain. Black Lotus smiled evilly.

"......" Kakashi.

Sakura felt a chill.

Naruto didn't understand what Kurolren said.

"The truth ......" Sasuke remembered before, he had asked Rain why he didn't seek revenge on Itachi, and Rain said to wait until he grew up to tell him, "...... Truth ......"

“…… What the hell do you want to do?" Kakashi was ready to fight.

"Of course, it's pushing the gears and continuing to rotate according to their original trajectory. Black Lotus said with a smile.

"Push the gears? what do you mean?" said Kakashi.

"Push the gears?" Sakura.

Naruto still didn't understand.

"It's—that's not something you should know!" Black Lotus said and left.

（！————）

The land of sound.

"Is this Orochimaru's hideout?"

"It doesn't seem to be hidden, why can't I find it all the time?"

"There were a lot of people in there, but the chakra was weird. "Snow.

"Chakra is weird?"

"Isn't it? By the way, do you know what it feels like to?"

"......" Yu glanced at it, and then went directly to Orochimaru's stronghold.

"......" snow continues to follow the rain.

“…… You guy, don't ask that question again, we were almost done just now!" said Hei Jue angrily.

"Because, I really want to know......" Bai Jue.

Inside the stronghold, Yu only saw a group of people locked in cells, all with pale faces.

"Their complexion is so white, could they be my relatives?"

"You guy, stop joking, I'm going to be killed by you......" Hei Jue whispered.

"Got it......" Bai Jue.

"You guy, do you really know?"

"Who are you?" said a man who appeared to be a caretaker.

"Who are you?"

"Listen, I'm the ...... of God Destroyer" Before the man could finish speaking, he was ground into flesh foam.

Then, the water immediately swept through the entire underground stronghold, killing everyone.

"It seems that Orochimaru is not here. "White absolute.

"Do you want to search carefully, maybe there will be other strongholds. "Snow proposed.

"Then look for it. "Rain.

The three immediately split up to search.

After a while.

"Hmm, that's?" Bai Jue saw a ring on the model of a hand.

When I got closer, I saw that the ring was engraved with the word "empty", "Sure enough, it's an 'empty' ring." ”

"Finally found it. "White absolute.

……

"Found a map with some locations on it...... "Snow pulls out a map.

"Let's look for them one by one, anyway, there is a lot of time. "Rain.

"Yes. "Snow.

（！————）

Somewhere in the Land of Fire.

"There's no need for all four of them to go, is that appropriate?" said the pocket when he returned from going out.

"They all seemed to be interested in my fancy Sasuke. I wonder what kind of power he has. "Orochimaru.

"Even so, the current Sasuke is no match for them at all. "Pocket.

"Hee-hee...... That's how he desperately needs my strength...... "Orochimaru."

"...... "Dou", "By the way, the God of Extermination has sent news, saying that the soul of your hand is sealed, and it can't be cured, and at present, the only way to do it is to summon the god of death again and release the sealed soul, don't think about other ways." ”

"Hee-hee...... It seems that there is another way to destroy the gods...... I just don't want to say it...... "Orochimaru."

"So what now?"

"That's to take Sasuke's body......" Orochimaru.
