Chapter 677: Fetters

"I don't know. ”

Itachi said that he couldn't think of any other answer than talent and pedigree.

But he knew that was never the right answer.

"Hmm. ”

Itachi admitted calmly, and couldn't help but get a little more praise from Watergate.

"I can see that in your heart, you've been feeling guilty for not protecting your companions in your previous mission," said Mizuto, whose chakra was opened during the battle with Yun Shinobi not long ago.

"Yes. Itachi said that in that encounter, even he had only the power to protect himself.

Seeing his companion fall beside him, but unable to do anything, that deep sense of powerlessness, like a heavy hammer, constantly caused severe pain in Itachi's heart.

"You have such thoughts, which means that in your heart, you care very much about your companions, Itachi, you are really a gentle child...", Watergate murmured softly.

At this time, he noticed that Itachi couldn't help but slowly clench his palms.

"I know you're thinking that if you had been stronger, you would have been able to save your companion's life. Watergate's eyes were also constantly flickering at this time.

"But, in fact, no matter how powerful a ninja is, there will be the same moments as you were at that time..."

In the third ninja war, Mizumon's strength can be said to be the best in the ninja world, even so, he still didn't protect his two disciples.

And even the ninja god who was as strong as the back then, the first Hokage, has experienced this moment of powerlessness.

This is the world of ninjas, even if strength is respected, but no matter how powerful the strength is, it can't avoid this kind of pain.

Watergate's words shocked Itachi at first, but he quickly regained his composure and thoughtfulness.

"The power of stopping the water, or to put it more broadly, the ninja group with great power, the source of power, the most fundamental thing is not talent or blood inheritance limit..."

"Rather, fetters. ”

Itachi's eyes were also stunned at this time, flickering slightly.

"This bond does not only refer to the family, companions, and friends around you..."

"What we ninjas carry is never the command of one person, but the will of those who are alive and dead. ”

"That's why we have to live strong, make ourselves stronger, and live up to these bonds. ”

Shuimen raised his eyes and said slowly: "At this time... In your eyes, there is a will that belongs to your dead companion. ”

The weasel was startled, and the writing wheel eye of the single hook jade moved slowly.

"I see. ”

The emotion in his eyes flickered a little, and he nodded heavily.

Although the Sharingan is the power that the bloodline brings to him, the source of this power is his family, companions, and friends.

I have to carry this power and live up to this bondage.

Itachi knew in his heart that Watergate was deliberately arranging for him to observe the battle in order to solve this doubt for himself.

"In that case, I can leave the task to you with confidence. ”

Shuimen smiled, and immediately left the training ground with Shishui and Itachi.

...

The entire ninja world, although there is a secret battle between the five ninja powers, they will not touch the bottom line with each other.

War is nothing but a means of gaining interests ... If a war is waged, only losses will be gained, and no one will take the initiative to provoke it.

A peaceful atmosphere envelops the world, but only a few people know that this peace is only a superficial phenomenon.

Somewhere in the darkness of heaven and earth... Someone is hatching a plan to turn the world upside down.

It's just that due to some kind of resistance, this plan cannot be implemented in a short period of time.

A year later...

In the darkness of night, the blonde boy quickly walked through the streets and finally ran into a courtyard in the center of Konoha.

When he opened the door, the bright light swept away the darkness.

The boy suddenly heard the sound of frequent pacing.

A delicate figure soon appeared outside the entrance.

The girl had extremely dazzling blonde hair, and her eyes were as clear and bright as sapphires.

Her facial features seem to have been finely carved by the hand of God, flawless.

Blonde hair, tied into two pigtails, and oblique bangs just pressed the tips of the eyebrows.

"Brother, welcome home. ”

The big shallow eyes suddenly narrowed into a crescent moon, and the slender white and tender little hands were behind his back.

"I'm back. ”

Naruto walked up to the girl and reached out to rub the hair of his sister, who welcomed him home.

"You're fighting Sasuke's brother again. The smiling shallow expression changed slightly and said.

Naruto's eyes suddenly became flustered, and the palm of his hand on Asa Yu's head suddenly covered her small mouth.

"Shh

He put his finger in front of his mouth, looked around for a moment, looked at the girl, and asked in surprise.

"How do you know? I've already taken care of it. ”

Naruto said that in order to avoid letting his mother know about it, he had already washed his whole body before going home.

He covered his mouth, unable to speak, and his eyes looked towards a certain part of Naruto's upper body.

The latter was stunned for a moment, and followed her gaze.

Halfway through his sleeve, there were obvious marks of being cut by a sharp weapon.

That's Sasuke's suffering.

Naruto let go of the hand that was covering Ashyu, then looked at her with a blank eye, and said, "Sister, can you help my brother, if you let your mother know about this..."

He choked up, his eyes filled with horror.

"Absolutely. Asa Yu immediately agreed.

Hearing this, Naruto couldn't help but smile, but the next moment, the girl in front of him shrugged her shoulders and said, "But brother, you seem to have forgotten... Mom's perception is strong. ”

"Naruto..."

Just before the words fell, at the entrance, Jiu Xinnai, whose face looked a little ugly, was already standing there.

"Mom... Mom, I was wrong. ”

Naruto suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and subconsciously took a few steps backwards, his body unstable, and he almost fell to the floor.

Kushina walked slowly towards Naruto, and at this moment, Asa Yu walked up to Kushina and said, "Mom, the soup in your pot..."

"Oops!"

The former suddenly screamed, and then hurriedly ran to the kitchen.

Asayu glanced back, winked at Naruto, and said, "Brother, what are you still stunned about, hurry up and take this opportunity to find Dad, otherwise I won't be able to help you." ”

Naruto came back to his senses, quickly stood up, glanced in at the end of the hallway, and then hurriedly ran towards the living room.

Shallow smiled lightly in place... Then he walked to the door.

"Brother, this guy is really reckless..."

Naruto was in too much of a hurry to enter the door just now, so he didn't even have time to close the door.

...
