Chapter 121: The One Who Loved Me the Most Is Gone
"Already...... It's been more than ten years. β
Kato sat at the table with Jiraiya and Orochimaru and sighed.
He picked up the wine glass that he had filled for him, sniffed greedily, but placed it on the table with regret.
"The reincarnated of the filthy earth has no sense of smell and taste at all."
Orochimaru explained on the side.
"It doesn't matter, it's good to be able to get together with my former friends."
Jiraiya suddenly looked at the broken smile, and he said:
"Break, remember the story we told back then?"
Duan looked at Jiraiya, recalled for a moment and said:
"You mean that?"
Jiraiya nodded.
Before Kato's death, he was the only person in Konoha who had mastered the art of spiritualization, and when he chatted with him once, he talked about an allusion from this technique that can temporarily detach the soul from the body.
"Hundreds of years ago, there were two samurai who were close friends with each other.
Every few years, they agreed to meet at one place for a drink.
On the day of the last reunion, one of the samurai forgot about it because he was so busy with business.
The night before the appointed time, he suddenly remembered tomorrow's appointment.
But at this time, he was thousands of miles away from the agreed place. β
Duan looked at Jiraiya, who was talking eloquently, and nodded with a smile.
"Man can't travel thousands of miles in a day, but the soul can.
In order to go to the appointment, the samurai drew their swords and killed themselves.
His soul finally came to his best friend the next night. β
Jiraiya held the old photo in his hand in one hand, raised his cup with the other hand and said:
"What are you waiting for?
Go, Tsunade, she'll be waiting for you there. β
Duan stood up, looked at Jiraiya and Orochimaru gratefully, and finally said softly:
"Tomorrow at dawn, this will be done.
Let's dismiss ......"
After that, he sealed his hands:
"Spiritualization!"
The body reincarnated from the filthy earth instantly became blank and stood in place.
The broken soul activated and flew out of the body, and rushed in the direction of the land of Yu.
Jiraiya stood up, walked out the door, and looked up at the sky.
"Orochimaru, I suddenly have more expectations for the future!"
"Oh? Why? β
Jiraiya looked at the sky with a smile and said:
"Reincarnation can be used to reunite the deceased with the broken.
The Uchiha clan's illusions can also be used for things other than combat......
Although that stinky little imp used this trick to trick the old man and me. β
He turned to look at Orochimaru with a heartfelt smile on his face.
"The ninja sect passed down by the six immortals, the power of chakra.
In your hands, it is finally no longer a weapon to take the lives of others.
It's a bridge between people's hearts, and that's a good thing, right? β
Orochimaru nodded and said with a smile:
"It's hard to imagine, all this.
It turned out to be the reckless and somewhat naΓ―ve little imp of Uchiha Obito who brought changes to this world. β
He looked at the sky with a complicated expression and muttered to himself:
"The truth that I have spent most of my life searching for is what was told to me in the end.
But is it still this ridiculous and sad doctrine of blood supremacy? β
Jiraiya and Orochimaru, the person who changed the world, is not in the country of Tian at the moment.
More than a day ago, when Obito was arguing with Jiraiya.
The bad news from his right eye made him pale like a thunderbolt from the sky.
In the blurred picture, Lin, who had returned to Konoha, whispered softly with a painful face:
"Obitu, grandma, she's dying!"
ββββββ Camera Switchββββββββββββββ
In the settlement of the Uchiha clan in Konoha Village, in the small courtyard of Obito and Grandma.
Both Mizumon and Fugaku stood in the courtyard, their expressions serious and silent.
In the bedroom, the sixteen-year-old Uchiha Obito changed into a homely suit and sat on his knees.
He clenched his fists and looked at the thin old woman on the sickbed.
Grandma has been asleep for a long time, and he hasn't woken up since he rushed back to Konoha more than a day ago.
"Why......
Lynn, didn't you say before that Grandma had taken her medicine and tonic on time? β
Lynn, who knelt beside Obito, whispered:
"After I returned to Konoha from the Land of Rain, my grandmother was already in the hospital.
I heard that it was just a normal cold at first, but then it turned into pneumonia......
Obito, grandma's body, is too weak.
This time, it seemed like a minor illness dragged on into a major illness, causing her heart and kidneys to fail......"
"Weakness...... yes, how could she not be weak? β
The old man who raised his little grandson alone, Obito reminisces about the past.
When eating, my grandmother always smiled and ate a few bites, and then said that she was full.
Then lovingly watched his grandson, who had been training for a day, gulp down the meal of nearly two people......
Obito turned his head to look at Lin and said:
"Nope! No!
There's a way, there's a way, there's a way, right?!
Rin, your medical ninjutsu ......"
Lin shook her head and spoke:
"Medical ninjutsu is just a means to speed up cell division for trauma and emergencies.
For the elderly, instead of being beneficial, such an approach depletes their already weak vitality. β
"No, it won't! Impossible!
I, I still have my Word! β
As he spoke, his eyes turned golden.
ββ¦β¦ Obito, sober up.
Your spirit is also aimed at people who have been badly injured but whose vitality is still very tenacious......"
"Don't say these cool things!
0517, you must have a way! β
Obito instantly summoned 0517's puppet.
"Save my grandma! Good no good!? β
The puppet looked at the emaciated old man on the sickbed and said:
"Don't you really feel it?
Her vitality has been exhausted......
This is just an ordinary old man who doesn't even have a grasp of chakra. β
"But she's my grandmother!
A loved one who raised me alone! β
The eyelids of Grandma's eyes trembled slightly, and the sound of soil seemed to wake up the old man.
"Obito...... Are you back? β
Obito grabbed his grandmother's hand and snuggled up to the old man like he had done when he was a child.
"Well, I'm back!
Don't worry, grandma, I'll cure you! β
The old man turned his head sideways with difficulty, looking at his grandson, whose image had changed a lot.
She looked at the scarred right side of her face with soil distressed, and said slowly:
"Kid, it's been hard to carry out tasks outside for the past two years......
Lord Shiyome came to visit me and told me.
You are...... What a wonderful boy, Obito. β
"Grandma...... I was wrong!
I shouldn't be out and about......
I'll be by your side in the future, okay?! β
Obito grabbed his grandmother's hand and stroked it on top of his head, just like when he was a child.
"Silly boy, grandma's path......
It's time to meet your grandfather and your parents. β
The old man looked at the pair of young men and girls kneeling in front of him with some regret.
"It's just a pity that I didn't have a chance to meet my great-grandson......
Obito, you're going to treat Lin well in the future, you know? β
Nodding his head as he looked at Obitoki, the old man turned his gaze to Rin.
"This child has been a daredevil, just like his father back then......
Seeing the two of you now, it's like seeing your parents back then.
Lynn, go get that picture, bring it......"
A few minutes later, Lynn retrieved a framed photo from the Obito room that had been kept intact.
The old man pointed to the picture and said to Obito:
"It's time, and it should be......
Tell you about your parents. β
In the small courtyard outside the house, Mizumen and Fugaku stood side by side.
"So, Lord Shidaime.
The so-called Madara, is this child? β
Mizumon listened to Fuyue's words and nodded.
Fu Yue sighed and said:
"It turns out that he is the child who has won over his predecessors."
"Obito's father?"
Fu Yue nodded and continued:
"I used to be an ordinary shinobi in the garrison.
A little quick-tempered, but a reliable guy who cares about his companions. β
When Uchiha Fugaku first entered the garrison, he was partnered with this senior named Shigekatsu.
That's a warm and cheerful guy, and his own strength is so-so.
I only opened my eyes when I was a teenager, but I don't pay much attention to strength, and I belong to a dispensable role in the eyes of others.
This guy always gets by with his daily training, but he attaches great importance to daily patrols and solving trivial chores in the village.
"Fuyue, although I am not a genius like you.
But the love for this village is no worse than yours. β
"Hi, hi. The seniors were right. β
Such a good old man, but he and his wife died so early......
Mizumon remembered the information he saw when he became the leader of the team.
"Didn't Obito's parents both die in the night attack of Yun Ren more than ten years ago?"
Inside the house, the grandmother spoke slowly about the past of Obito's parents.
"Miwako, too, is the classmate who won the child's again.
The two of them got married in their early twenties, and after two years, they gave birth to you, Obito.
If...... If you didn't have that, you should have grown up with your parents. β
Obito looked down at the photograph of a man in a robe and a woman in a kimono holding an infant baby in her arms.
It was the only thing his parents left him......
"I still remember that day......
The couple took you to your mother's house to pay homage to your grandfather.
As a result, when I went, I was a family of three, and only you, a child under the age of one, came back. β
Outside the house, Fuyue calmly recounted to the water gate what had happened back then.
"You should know about it, Yun Ren's night attack.
Since most of the ninjas in the village were scattered across the battlefield, the ninjas in the village were at first a little overwhelmed by the sudden attack.
The ninjas of our garrison, as well as the dark and root ninjas of the three generations of adults, have suffered heavy losses. β
Watergate recalls that year, yes, how could he forget?
Under the moonlight, he picked up Kushina and returned to Konoha scene.
"Yun Shinobi's large-scale invasion is just a feint, and their real target is......
Back then, Jiu Sinai, who had not really become the pillar force of the Nine-Tails! β
Fuyue nodded and continued:
"I'm a few years older than the fourth generation, and I was already in the garrison.
I still remember the scene that day, the day I regained the victory over my predecessors and was not on duty.
But he and his wife happened to pass through the route of Yun Ninja's invasion......"
Fugaku still remembers the tragic situation when the garrison felt the scene.
The couple hugged each other tightly and fell to the ground, their bodies covered with fine knife marks.
Blood soaked the soil around them......
The members of the garrison, who were also members of the Uchiha clan, looked at the clan emblem of the fan clan that was faintly visible on their clothes, and their wide eyes turned scarlet.
"Just as we were about to chase down the route......
The baby's cry came from under the bodies of the two men.
That ordinary middle ninja couple, at the last moment of their lives, used their bodies to protect their children. β
Inside the house, Obito listened to his grandmother's narration and didn't say a word.
Although he tried his best, tears still flowed.
"I've told you before, Obito.
Your life was bought for you by your parents with their own lives......
Want...... Live well, with this inheritance......"
Grandma's staccato voice grew softer and softer, eventually disappearing.
Obito still held his grandmother's hand and opened his mouth, but he didn't say a word.
Rin, whose eyes were red, was holding Obito's other hand, and she could feel Obito's body shaking.
A terrible and tyrannical chakra was suppressed by him, and the big turtle in Lynn's body, Isofu, honestly put away his TV and hid in the corner shivering.
"Obi-......"
Obito turned his head to look at Rin, his eyes had changed to a kaleidoscope of crimson gold.
"I know what you're trying to say, Lynn......
I am also persuading myself now to forget my hatred and seize this rare peace. β
The muscles of Obito's face trembled violently, and his lower lip was bitten by two rows of teeth, and blood was oozing from the corners of his mouth.
He patted Lynn's hand lightly, then pulled his hand from her palm and stood up.
"But...... I can't convince myself.
My father was just an ordinary shinobi in the Konoha Garrison, and my mother was just a person who retired after a short period of ninja career.
In their short lives, they never even went to war.
but died in such a sudden calamity......"
Once again, the mask of the white three-hooked jade obscured Obito's face.
"Peace does not mean cowardice."
"Obito, calm down!
Grandma told you this, she definitely doesn't want you to take revenge! β
Obito turned his head sideways to look at Rin, stroked her cheek with his hand, and continued:
"So that our future children will no longer live in the shadow of war......
I have to let someone dare to provoke Konoha and provoke the Uchiha clan.
Blood debt and blood repayment! β
Mizumon and Fugaku burst into the house when they heard Rin's voice, only to see a figure dissipated in the whirlpool cracks......

At the hot spring inn in Yunokuni, the piggy pig in Tsunade's arms is already asleep.
Tsunade herself was deeply sleepy, and she had just stood up to close the window when a voice rang in her ears.
"Long time no see, are you okay?"
