Chapter 109: Unexpected
At first, the sky was clear, then the clouds were cloudy, and finally, it was pouring rain, and the change in weather directly reflected the final outcome of Itachi and Sasuke's battle.
With his hands covering his lips, Itachi half-knelt down, coughing violently accompanied by a trembling body. The rain continued to wash over his body, running down his long black hair on his cheeks and chin, slightly dissolving the bright red that kept dripping from the corners of his mouth.
"The battle is over, and you're the one who wins." Following the rain curtain, Ling Hebai's figures slowly appeared, looking at the appearance of the weasel, Ling didn't know how to open his mouth with joy and sorrow.
"Did I win" Itachi muttered, looking up at Ling beside him blankly, but Ling's shadow was completely invisible in his empty and out-of-focus eyes.
"Where are you, I can't see you," the weasel wolf stretched out his hand, but his fingertips only brushed the corners of Ling's clothes, and the wolf fell into a trail of water.
"Uchiha Itachi" saw Itachi like this, and he couldn't bear to turn his face away and didn't look at it.
"What about the wolf, Itachi." Ling opened his mouth, took a step forward, and looked down at the weasel lying on the ground from top to bottom, "Eight years ago, I also fell in front of you like this, and you didn't kill me, why?" β
Itachi was silent, breathing slowly, one hand fumbling weakly towards where Sasuke was.
Whatever the reason, you made me who I am now, and I should thank you in a sense.
With a sarcastic and mocking smile, Ling possessed him, grabbed one of Itachi's arms and lifted him abruptly, his scarlet eyes staring at Itachi's godless eyes.
"Don't worry, since I promised you, then Sasuke and I will definitely take care of it, so you can rest in peace." As he spoke, Ling put Itachi's arm on his shoulder and motioned to Shiro, who was beside him, to Sasuke, who had also fallen to the ground. Seeing this, Bai nodded, and also helped Sasuke, and the figures of the four disappeared into the rain curtain at the same time.
However, at this time, the ferret, who was supported by Ling, gently hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled meaningfully
By the time Sasuke woke up, it was already a day later.
A room with a predominantly white color, the dim oil lamp makes the walls of the room orange, and there is nothing in the room except for a bed. And Sasuke, who was lying on the bed, seemed to be disturbed by the flames of the candlelight, and his eyelids trembled for a long time before finally waking up.
"This is" Sasuke was slightly surprised, trying to prop himself up, but the intense exhaustion and soreness made him frown, and he lay down weakly again.
"Looks like you're awake." In the corner of the room, Ling's figure suddenly came, and in the shadow of the candlelight, I could only see his robe with red clouds on a black background and scarlet eyes.
Sasuke was stunned for a moment and looked in the direction where Ling was, but his aching body made him feel unbearable pain even if he turned his head slightly.
"Don't move, get some rest." Ling opened his mouth to be relieved, and stepped forward to help Sasuke up, but was stunned when he saw Sasuke's appearance.
"Hmm!"
In Ling's incredible eyes, Sasuke's eyes suddenly changed when he looked at Ling, and the Miwa Magatama fused into a unique kaleidoscope shape like Itachi, and in the next moment, black flames attached to Ling's body!
It's Amaterasu! Itachi this guy!!
Burned by Amaterasu, Ling gritted his teeth and endured the pain that seemed to burn his soul, and his eyes changed from a three-wheeled magatama to a kaleidoscope!
The black Amaterasu flame seemed to have lost its purpose, and after jumping in the air a few times, it finally slowly extinguished unwillingly, and in the entire room, only Sasuke's gasp was left.
"It's dangerous!" In a resentful tone, Ling appeared in front of Sasuke again, his handsome face showing a certain hideousness.
Itachi, this guy! Unexpectedly, he still sealed Amaterasu in Sasuke's eyes! Yes, it was originally a trick to deal with Obito, but now Itachi knows that Sasuke will follow me, so he set Amaterasu to activate when he sees my eyes! Itachi, you made a pact with me, but you want to take the opportunity to kill me, you really do anything for Sasuke! If it weren't for the power of backtracking, I would definitely have been burned alive by Amaterasu!
Ling Yin thought fiercely, cursing Itachi. Indeed, because as a traverser, Ling Yi QiΔ faced it with a hypothetical attitude, but ignored the changes caused by his own existence, especially the details! In the original book, Itachi sealed Amaterasu in order to cover up the truth, and was ready to let Sasuke kill Obito, but because of Ling's appearance, Obito was no longer visible, and in order to hide from Sasuke, Itachi would naturally target Ling! If it weren't for the backtracking to let Ling adjust his own time, then Amaterasu would have killed him this time!
"Sasuke, you really have a good brother!" Ling opened his mouth gloomily, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the feeling of being burned by Amaterasu just now seemed to be staying on his body!
Sasuke was silent and glanced at Ling slightly, also confused by the one that had just happened.
"Humph!" Ling sneered, looking at Sasuke, a plan germinating in his heart.
Itachi, don't you want to cover up all the truth? I won't let you get your wish! I'm thinking about it like this?! I will let Sasuke know all the truth, and let him fight against Konoha and Naruto with hatred in his arms! I'm going to set Sasuke on the miserable path of opposing this world, and this is my revenge on your former Tsukiyomi, and now Amaterasu's calculations!
Only Sasuke's life is fate? What is the life of someone else? If you can be so selfish for your loved ones, then so can I!
After easing his mind, Ling smiled coldly and said under Sasuke's confused gaze, "First of all, congratulations, Sasuke. It was you who won and you killed the ferret. β
Sasuke was stunned for a moment, lowered his head slightly, and became silent, and he didn't know how to describe the mess of five flavors in his heart.
He remembered very well that in the end it was Itachi who won, and that illusion completely hallucinated him. Why didn't the weasel take his own eyes? Wasn't that what he had been planning all along? Why did Weasel give up in the end? And in the end, the tone and feeling of that kind of speech are very similar to the pampering of the once weasel and the gentleness of the weasel.
"You're wondering, too." Looking at the change in Sasuke's expression of hope, Ling had already guessed what Sasuke was thinking, "You have grown up, you are no longer a child, and some facts should be known to you." β
After adjusting his mind, Ling began to explain the battle between Madara and the first generation at the beginning of Konoha's creation, the second Hokage established a garrison to monitor the Uchiha clan, and then the Uchiha clan was dissatisfied with the exclusion of the village and chose to launch a coup d'Γ©tat! Itachi's mission, the blockade of the shadows, and the truth about the destruction of all the Uchiha clans!
"You're lying to someone, you're lying to me," Sasuke muttered as if he had no focus in his eyes.
For eight years, hatred for Itachi was the only insistence in Sasuke's heart! How could Sasuke accept the fact that he had abandoned his companions, his teachers, and his village in order to take revenge, and now Ling had sued him for the sacrifices that Itachi had been protecting him all along?!
"Faith, by you. If you don't believe it, it's up to you. I'm just telling you the truth. Ling smiled indifferently, his tone contained a certain paranoia, and then said, "You should have doubted it too, right?" The Uchiha clan is an all-round family that is good at fire escape, illusion, and forbearance. Don't say that Itachi is alone, even if the two of us join forces, we can't kill all the clansmen silently. A collision of ninjutsu is enough to cause a perceptible movement! β
"Impossible, impossible," Sasuke muttered to himself, his entire mind struck by what Ling had said.
The weasel has killed all the people! Killed the parents! He wants to take my eyes! That's right, that's it! It's just that I'm better than him! He just failed! That's the truth!
"You must want to retort that the Itachi has been killed several times, right?" Looking at Sasuke's trembling lips, Ling had already guessed his thoughts, "Tsukiyomi, Amaterasu, Susanoo, every technique is a killing move that kills people. Indeed, Amaterasu you can use the spatial enchantment technique I taught you to transfer, but what about Tsukiyomi? What about Susanoo? Itachi really wants to kill you, you're not an opponent! Ordinary writing wheels can't fight the kaleidoscope at all, and even if Itachi is seriously ill, this can't be changed. β
"Seriously ill?" Sasuke was startled and looked at Ling in amazement.
"You've been aware of it, haven't you? The sensitivity of the body, the speed of the seal, the strength of the body, and the duration of Susa's ability to last, these details have made it clear that Itachi's condition is not good, no, it is very bad. "The moment he left the village, Itachi had already decided that he was going to die in a duel with you in the future. But being seriously ill, he can't wait until you're fully grown up until you overtake him, so the fight is lifted."
"Why did he never go back to Konoha before, but after the death of the three generations of Hokage, when Konoha was on high alert? That's because he wants to send a message to the Konoha higher-ups, that is, I'm still alive, and what was agreed is still working! β
Sasuke clutched his head in pain and shook his head wildly. He didn't want to think about what Ling said, and he didn't want to think about the collapse in his heart!
"In order to hide the truth, Itachi also wants to kill me. Because he knows that I will tell you the truth, and Amaterasu just now is enough to explain the problem! β
"Shut up! Shut up! I don't believe it! I don't believe what you say! Sasuke hissed, shouting disbelief, but tears kept spilling out of the corners of his eyes.
"You're shaken, aren't you?" Ling shrugged his shoulders, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked in his malicious eyes, and the weird kaleidoscope writing wheel looked at Sasuke fixedly, "Think about it carefully, those dusty memories, memories you don't want to believe"
The seeds of hatred have been planted, and now it is time for him to take root!
Itachi, you thought that you had calculated a good qiΔ, and thought that I would be attacked by Amaterasu by despising Sasuke's strength! Admittedly, your plan has been successfully realized, but you do not know the secret of my right eye! For Sasuke, you have abandoned so many people's lives, this is your peace? I won't let you get your wish, since Sasuke is the most important being in your heart, then I will push Sasuke to the opposite side of the world, so that you will never be able to live in peace!
With his clenched fists gurgling, Ling didn't pay attention to Sasuke, who was completely distracted, and walked straight out of the room, and the moment he closed the door, he didn't miss the crystal that kept slipping from the corner of Sasuke's eyes.
"Ahh!!!!!h
Finally, after Ling left the room, Sasuke hugged his head and cried bitterly, love, hate, two opposing feelings filled all of Sasuke's thoughts, and outside the door, Ling finally showed an evil smile after hearing the sound
