Chapter Seventy-Four: Occasional Meeting
It's a battle of endurance and will.
The will and endurance of both sides of the contest are extremely amazing, which also makes this protracted chase game seem to never end.
The masked man has an almost inexhaustible chakra and an excellent spatial ninjutsu, and even has a strength beyond the "Shadow" level, and no opponent can force him into such a situation.
But his opponent is Kakashi Hachiki, the second most important man in his life, a former companion, a brother, and the host of his one eye.
Before this chase began, he originally thought that with Chakra's advantage, he could easily get rid of Kakashi Hachiki behind him.
But he didn't count Kakashi's ninja dogs.
Whenever Kakashi's chakra is about to run out, the ninja dog becomes his riding tool.
The most important thing is that, like the chakra in his body, Kakashi's ninja dogs are also endless, changing one after another.
This also makes this chase drag on indefinitely.
Several times, he clearly felt that his killing intent was almost out of his control, so much so that he had to temporarily stop to calm his restless mood.
Killing Kakashi Hagi would end this pointless chase and get his other eye back.
It's been a very tempting year, and it comes to his mind almost every once in a while.
But what about after that?
Kakashi Hagi is the last person in the world to really care about him, and killing Kakashi Hagi is equivalent to erasing the last trace of him in this world.
At that time, who else will remember the boy called "Uchiha Obito"?
"Rin is already dead, and if I kill Kakashi Hachiki again, then I really have nothing. What I am doing now, who am I doing, just for the grievances in my heart? β
He admonished himself again and again, and at the same time pressed his killing intent again and again.

More painful than the masked man is Kakashi Hachiki.
From the first time he saw the masked man, he recognized him.
His intellect told him that this could not happen, but his eyes, his sense of smell, and his emotions all told him that the masked man was the one who should be lying in the cemetery at this moment.
In other words, he could pretend that he didn't know anything, and according to the orders of the third generation of Hokage Ape Tobi Slash, kill Uchiha Itachi and then return to Konoha to make a mission.
But he couldn't.
Because Uchiha Obito and Rin, who is already dead, is the reason why he continues to live in this world.
If Uchiha Obito hadn't died, then the meaning of his life in this world seemed to be less than half all at once.
Therefore, he would rather give up the task, but also catch up and remove the ugly mask, and let the queen ask in front of him:
"Why?"
He used the chakra in his body again and again, and then continued to track it with the strength of the ninja dog's feet.
With the sense of smell of the ninja dog "Parker", it is only a matter of time before he catches up with each other.
As time passed, he sadly found that there was still a considerable distance between him and the masked man, and that the distance seemed to be completely unavoidable.
He hadn't closed his eyes for many days, his eyes were bloodshot, his lips were chapped like a piece of bark that had been dead for many days, and his body, which was not sturdy, was even more thin at the moment, and it seemed that he would fall down when the wind blew, but he had no intention of giving up.
As long as he was alive and could move, he had to catch up with the man and ask the sentence that had been choking in his throat for a long time:
"Why?"
If he can't even do this, then there is no point in continuing to live.

When Uchiha Itachi saw Uchiha Shisui again, it was in the headquarters of "Root".
The last time the two met was a few months ago, and although it wasn't long, there seemed to be an insurmountable gap between the two.
Uchiha Itachi did not participate in the secret conversation between Danzou and Uchiha Shisui, and it was a pure accident that he was able to meet his former brother here.
At both ends of the wooden bridge, the two stopped in unison.
Itachi Uchiha calmly looked at the man he had once known so well. At this moment, even colder than this cold underground building was the cold eyes of Uchiha Shisui.
Not far from the wooden bridge, Danzo's single eye shone with a strange light.
He looked at the two of them with interest, a look of anticipation on his cheeks.
However, to his disappointment, nothing happened, and the two did not even greet each other.
The Uchiha Shisui turned around first and left straight out of another passage.
And Uchiha Itachi didn't look disappointed, just looked at his back as he left with some dismay.
"That's really interestingγγγγγγ"
Looking at the two strangers, Tuan Zang faintly felt that something was wrong, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
But when he thought about it, that trace of doubt disappeared without a trace like a shadow that could not be captured.
Maybe there's been so much to think about lately ...
He smiled self-deprecatingly and turned back to his own world.
There are still many things to arrange for his ultimate dream.
At this time, his opponent, the third generation of Hokage Ape Fei Sun Slash, is like an ant on a hot pot, anxiously waiting for news of "that person".
γγγγγγγγ
Time, my precious time!
The masked man roared again and again. His lips had been bitten blue, and the veins on his forehead bulged from the irrepressible anger that was about to unquench on the face beneath the mask.
He couldn't remember the number of times he was determined to kill Kakashi Hagi, but each time he gave up at the last minute.
This filled him with a sense of frustration, which only intensified his anger and murderous intent.
He stopped again, and this time he decided not to run anymore.
"If you must seek death, then I will fulfill you!"
He muttered to himself, anger finally triumphing over emotion.
He decides to kill Kakashi Hachiki, just in time for the next meeting.

"What's wrong with you lately? It looks like I'm getting a lot older! β
Tuan Zang looked at the ape in some surprise with a gloating expression.
After all, the Uchiha clan is a famous family in Konoha, although its strength has been declining in recent years, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the foundation of so many years is still there after all.
Moreover, the Uchiha clan also has a unique blood inheritance limit "Writing Wheel Eye", and if you want to wipe out the Uchiha clan in one fell swoop, you naturally need careful planning.
Therefore, he can understand the hard work of the ape flying and slashing all these days.
But the ape Feiri, who was usually extremely heavy, had white hair and beard, red eyes, and wrinkles on his cheeks all squeezed together, and there were almost no gaps to be seen, as if he had aged more than ten years in a few days.
