62.Chapter 062: Seeing Clearly
The forest is quiet and peaceful, with warm sunlight shining through the layers of shade on the ground, casting dappled shadows, and the occasional bird chirps twice, which is crisp and beautiful.
The wind was light, and it carried a few strands of hair fluttering as it swept across his cheeks.
Walking in the boundless vast forest, Itachi couldn't help but take a deep breath, and the slight coolness that instantly filled his chest made him feel very comfortable.
He is alive and healthy.
Although he didn't really understand what the Jade Fragment of the Four Souls represented, he knew that it must be something terrible, because not only was he resurrected now, but even the dark diseases and old injuries on his body had all disappeared.
The oppressive feeling that had always been congested in his chest was gone, and the organs that were aching from time to time and his throat that was always itching and wanted to cough up blood were no longer abnormal - he hadn't breathed so comfortably in a long time.
This qiē was given by the white boy...... But he now refuses to pay attention to him.
Itachi, who knew that he was wrong, couldn't help but feel weak and guilty, and he couldn't say a word about Sasuke's reason when he was in front of the white boy, and he didn't even know what to say except sorry.
After thinking about it, Itachi spoke up for the twenty-first time: "Do you really refuse to tell me something?" ”
There was still a silent air in which he answered, and just when Itachi thought he was sure he would not get a reply and wanted to say something more, the other man spoke.
"What do you want me to say?"
Finally willing to talk to him, Itachi breathed a sigh of relief: "Anything is fine." ”
"Since you want to hear it, I'll say something." The white boy looked ahead, his voice without a trace of undulation, "How does it feel to be alive?" ”
Itachi followed closely behind the white boy, pursed his lips when he heard the words, and said softly, "Very good." ”
"Good?" The white boy snorted lightly, "Really? ”
Sure enough, I'm still angry.
Itachi looked at the back of the white boy, and the emotion in his dark eyes was complicated: "Yes." ”
The white boy didn't continue to ask why, but said something else: "There are not only people in this world, but also monsters, and the jade of the four souls is something that all monsters want to snatch, because with it, you can get the qiē you want." The most powerful of the youkai is Naraku, who is a half-demon, and the half-demon is also a product of humans and demons. He's already collected the other shards, and you're the last one in your heart, so he'll definitely do everything he can to snatch this shard from you. ”
"Youkai...... I know. Itachi looked at the white boy and stopped talking.
"Well, it won't be long before he comes to the door, so remember to protect yourself. Also, unless the fragments are taken, you are immortal. Now no matter how you use the Sharingan, it will no longer have any effect on your body. ”
Itachi looked at the white boy and nodded: "Well, is there anything else?" ”
After a moment of silence, the white boy continued: "Some monsters can turn into people, so don't save people casually." ”
"Okay." After waiting for a while, without waiting for the white boy to speak again, Itachi asked again, "Is there anything else you want to say?" ”
The white boy frowned, with some impatience in his tone: "What else do you want to hear?" ”
Itachi shook his head: "No, I just want to say that if you're done, then can you listen to me?" ”
"What do you want to say?"
"I'm sorry."
The atmosphere froze for a while.
The white boy stopped, he sneered, and then turned to look at the weasel, a pair of purple eyes were dull, and he put his displeasure on his face without concealing it.
He raised his chin slightly, hooked the corners of his mouth, and there was obvious mockery in his eyes: "I knew you were going to say this, but what are you sorry for me when you say it?" You've done so much for me and Sasuke, Sasuke doesn't know, don't I know? ”
Itachi, who washed off his blood stains and changed into a crow-blue hunting robe, had a soft expression, his long black hair was tied back by a red hairband, and a few strands of hair fell from his forehead, which were more handsome against his cheeks, and now he looked like a son of a family with a gentle temperament.
The white boy blinked, such a person who seemed calm and gentle treated himself mercilessly, not only arrogantly and arrogantly forcibly planning the future of his two younger brothers, but even paving the way for it with his own life.
Itachi looked directly at the white boy's gaze: "I'm responsible for all the faults, so I should bear all the consequences, but in the end, I found out that it was not only me who paid the price and bore these consequences, but also you and Sasuke." ”
The white boy pursed his lips and did not respond.
Itachi retracted his eyes and confided in the White Boy a secret that no one knew except him: "I have prepared another god for Sasuke. ”
"Don't be a god?"
Itachi nodded: "The other gods are the strongest illusion that deservedly exists, which can directly invade the opponent's brain and permanently and completely modify the opponent's will, and the owner of this ability is the water stop." Itachi raised his eyes and looked into the distance, unreservedly telling the White Boy all about his original plan, "His right eye was gouged out by Danzang, and his left eye was left to me when he died." I buried the order of 'Guardian Konoha' in Bestenjin and entrusted it to Naruto Uzumaki. ”
The white boy narrowed his eyes: "Entrusted to Naruto Uzumaki?" Why? ”
"He's been persistent in trying to get Sasuke back and get Sasuke back to Konoha as well as what I wanted, but he didn't know that I had put a crow transplanted with another god into his body. As long as he meets Sasuke and touches my kaleidoscope, then the other gods hidden in his body will be triggered, and in this way, Sasuke, who has been hit by other gods, will return to Konoha according to the instructions, and protect Konoha and become a hero of Konoha and live a good life. ”
"Touching your kaleidoscope?"
"Yes, every time you use the kaleidoscope, your eyesight will drop by one point, and in the end, you will be completely blind. I want Sasuke to open the kaleidoscope, and then put on my eyes and get the eternal kaleidoscope. The eternal kaleidoscope will no longer have these side effects, and it will make Sasuke stronger. ”
"No wonder you know that Sasuke doesn't want to go back to Konoha and can't go back to Konoha and still continue to do it according to the original idea, it turns out that you have prepared another layer of security...... So I've disrupted your plans again? ”
Hearing this, Itachi instead hooked the corners of his mouth: "Fortunately, you disrupted my plan and didn't let things continue to happen as I thought." ”
"What do you mean?"
"Sasuke was surprised and hesitant when I died, and he wasn't very happy to kill me. I could tell from his words from the beginning that he wanted to forgive me, if I told the truth. ”
"And then?"
Itachi sighed: "When I killed my parents, they told me that they understood my choice and would forgive me, and my brother, who had always hated me, tried to forgive me even when he only touched the edge of the truth. ”
"At the end, Sasuke asked me, why is it the way it is? I'm thinking too...... Why is it the way it is? I chose to exterminate the Uchiha for the sake of peace, for the sake of Konoha, for the sake of preserving the honor of the Uchiha clan, I'm sorry for the Uchiha, I'm sorry for the clan, I'm sorry for the family, I've always felt that I can only atone for my sins and be liberated if I die, but when I die, the sins of a qiē won't end here, it's just a change of people to bear the consequences of this qiē. Itachi looked at the White Boy, "And the so-called people who continue to carry it here are you and Sasuke." ”
"I want Sasuke to become stronger, make him a hero of Konoha, and then protect Konoha and live happily in Konoha; I want you to be an ordinary person, an ordinary ninja, and live a carefree life in the ninja village...... I wanted you all to be strong and happy, but in the end I found out that it was just wishful thinking. At this, Itachi smiled self-deprecatingly, "I think you are the only ones who are happy like that, I used to hate and dislike the Uchiha because they were arrogant and ignorant, and I am not like that." ”
"I've always kept it a secret, but I haven't thought that maybe it would be better to tell you earlier. Everyone has their own thoughts, and of course you have your own considerations, and I should not impose my thoughts on you, nor should I make you follow my ideas. ”
"So, fortunately, with you, nothing happened in the future."
Itachi looked at the white boy, and his dark eyes were calm like never before.
Itachi also wanted to say, I always knew that you were watching me from the side, so that last sentence, not only to Sasuke, but also to you.
He wanted to say that what he meant by that was the last time he deceived Sasuke, and the last time he left the White Boy.
What happened after death was not at all something he could have predicted, just like he would never have imagined that he would come to this place full of monsters, and that he would come to another world.
He wasn't as powerful as he thought he was, and he couldn't really manipulate Yiqiē, so why didn't he wake up sooner? Why do you have to single-handedly bring pain to the younger brothers you care about the most?
"In the future, I will always be with you." He looked at the white boy with a smile, his dark eyes full of softness, "And ...... Thank you. ”
The white boy stood in place and looked at the ferret, his lips pursed as if they were in a straight line: "Why did you suddenly figure it out?" ”
Itachi bent his eyebrows, and his tone was relieved and soothing: "Only when death comes, a person will see the true self, and I, at the end, see myself clearly." ”
The hand hidden in the sleeve slowly clenched, and the white boy looked at the ferret, then turned his face and walked forward: "Got it." ”
The road ahead is wide and bright, with clear blue skies and floating white clouds.
Itachi finally discarded the heavy, gloomy shell, untied the shackles that had held him back, and lived in the sunlight again. The white boy thinks that such a ferret is very good, really good.
The white boy looked into the distance and said in a good mood: "Is there anything else you want to ask?" ”
"Yes, and a lot."
About those six years, about Yaya and the White Boy, about the world...... He does have many, many questions he wants to know.
"Then you ask."
"White Boy."
"Huh?" The white boy reflexively turned his head, but what caught his eyes was a dazzling light and shadow.
Then the perspective was immediately reversed, and he rolled his eyes, and he saw the body scattered in the air, broken into pieces, and the weasel standing in place with a pale face.
Wasn't that white boy shouted by a ferret?!
