Chapter 126: Sasuke, Orochimaru
At the junction of the Land of Fire and the Land of the Original Wind, the stronghold of the Uchiha clan, Itachi was lying on the top of the pyramid-shaped building, his eyes closed, and his face was serene. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Sasuke, dressed in a white single coat, walked up from underneath.
Six years have passed in the blink of an eye since he left the village in the middle ninja exam, and now the eighteen-year-old Sasuke has become a soft-eyed, mature and handsome young man.
Looking at his brother who was facing the sky on his back and spreading his limbs, Sasuke's expression at this time was very complicated, with hatred, regret, respect, and incomprehension, but in the end, these expressions were all reluctant.
Pretending to be inadvertent, he walked up and sat down next to Itachi, then pouted and said, "Obviously not in good health, why did you run out if you didn't rest inside?" ”
Itachi smiled when he heard this, the care from his younger brother made him very useful, and his dying body was tortured by illness and even felt a trace of warmth that he had not felt for a long time.
"My time is almost up, and although I can't see it, I still want to come out and feel the scenery outside."
Squinting his eyes and answering softly, Itachi's face was calm, but Sasuke's body was inexplicably stiff, and the latter almost burst into tears as he looked at his brother's withered face without a trace of blood, and at the empty eye sockets.
Are your last loved ones leaving?
Thinking to himself, Sasuke felt his breath suffocated, and his mind couldn't help but recall the bits and pieces of the past,—— the conflict caused by revenge at the beginning, the confusion about the night of extermination after calming down, and the surprise and incomprehension after learning the truth, six years is enough to change many things, so that the murderer who once hurt his own family gradually became his most beloved brother again.
Because this world has been messed up due to the appearance of Mo Wen, Itachi has also made a completely different choice from the original book.
According to the original plan, Itachi planned to let Sasuke kill himself, and then return to Konoha as a hero, so as to complete his atonement and protect his younger brother, it can be said that it kills two birds with one stone, no matter how bad it is, Sasuke can also protect himself. It's a pity that due to Mo Wen's strong appearance, this plan was stillborn. Because the other party's performance in the night of the Uchiha extermination was too ferocious, so even if Sasuke has an eternal kaleidoscope now, Itachi does not dare to guarantee that his younger brother will be able to save his life and eyes under Mo Wen, and now the situation in the ninja world is different, in the case of Konoha is basically unified, the high-level people who know the fact of the rebellion of the Uchiha clan back then may not be willing to accept Sasuke such a master who may rebel at any time, and it is undoubtedly inappropriate to let Sasuke go back without knowing anything at this time.
Coupled with six years of getting along day and night, Sasuke himself gradually calmed down from the frenzy of revenge, and began to track down the truth of the extermination of the clan little by little, Itachi felt that instead of letting him get half-truths and half-truths from others and then being used, it was better to tell it all himself, and finally look at Sasuke's own choice.
So about half a year ago, Itachi, whose physical condition had deteriorated dramatically, found an opportunity to tell Sasuke all the truth.
"Sasuke, I'm running out of time, can you tell me your options before I leave? Village, or Clan? Revenge, or let go? ”
Lying flat on the ground, Itachi's tone was calm at this time, but judging from the tightly clenched hand, his heart did not seem to be as calm as it seemed.
After knowing the truth of the year, whether or not to take revenge has always been a taboo between the brothers, Sasuke doesn't want to talk about it, and Itachi is not easy to force, but now that he is terminally ill, Itachi has to bring up the topic again.
There was a long silence.
The chirping of birds outside the stronghold made the already very deserted building seem even more quiet, the vegetation was lush, and the rustling sound of the breeze made everything around make the brothers quieter, and the ears were pricked up, and the weasel almost held his breath at this time.
"I choose the village!"
In just four words, Sasuke's answer made Itachi's heart feel relieved, and the whole person looked excited, but unfortunately before he could express any relief, Sasuke's next words made him feel like a thunderbolt.
"I choose the village,—— because this is your wish, brother!"
"Although I still hate everything Konoha has done to the Uchiha clan, for the sake of my brother, I am willing to try to let go!"
"So brother, put away the things in your hands, you don't need to use it, I will protect Konoha for you!"
"I heard that Konoha and Inuzuka Tooth are fighting in the country of Yuno, so I'll go over and take a look!"
Patting his clothes, Sasuke stood up and walked towards the stairs, where his full gear was faintly visible from the doorway.
Behind Sasuke, Itachi was already crying, and two lines of bloody tears slowly flowed down the hollow eye sockets.
"I'm sorry, Sasuke, forgive me, I'm not a good brother!"
With a slight force in his right hand, the weasel directly crushed the eyes in his hand that had been given by the water, with a guilty and proud expression.
-------
And just as Sasuke made a decision and was about to rush to the battlefield of Yuno Kuni, three figures were standing quietly in front of the ruins of Konoha belonging to the Uzumaki clan.
The leader was pale and had golden vertical pupils in his eyes, but it was Orochimaru, who had left Mo Wen's secret base before, and the two people standing behind him were uniformly dressed in robes with red clouds on a black background, one was carrying a large knife wrapped in bandages, while the other was low and had a steel tail exposed behind his back, but it was the last two members of the Xiao organization, the persimmon ghost shark and the scorpion.
It seemed that they were secretly preparing for some activity, and the three of them stood in one place
I saw that standing at the front, Orochimaru took off a grimace mask from the wall, put it on his face, and then actually opened his stomach like crazy.
From the open belly, several white balls of light slowly flew out, four of them stopped in front of him, and one of them merged into his body, and his hands were tightly together.
"It's finally back, my hands!"
The five fingers of both hands opened and closed, looking at his arm that had recovered his ability to cast spells after lifting the ban on the three generations of ghouls, Orochimaru's face was excited.
Immediately, he didn't know what he thought, and his face became gloomy again.
"Inuzuka, the humiliation you gave me, I must get it back from you this time!"
Then looking at the four light clusters in front of him, with bad intentions, Orochimaru turned his head and cast his gaze on the two figures behind him.
"The reincarnation of the filthy earth requires a living sacrifice, have you brought it, if not, it is better to take it yourself!"
"You can try it!"
The scorpion, who was originally not dealing with Orochimaru, snorted coldly when he heard this, if it weren't for Obito's order, he would rather die than cooperate with Orochimaru, a traitor, Scarlet Amber's tail was raised high, and it shook from side to side to make a crisp sound, and the scorpion looked like he was completely eager to go to war at this time.
But the shark-faced ghost shark on the side cracked his mouth and smiled, and a dodge stopped between the scorpion and the big snake pill, and he didn't see any movement, and a few white figures suddenly came out of his body, and as soon as he came out, he fell to the ground on his stomach.
"Don't worry, we've been ready for a long time, if you have these guys, presumably Orochimaru, your filthy earth reincarnation this time will be even more successful!"
A wicked smile appeared on his face, and the ghost shark's eyes showed a rare hint of expectation.
The Hokage has been the strongest in the same level in the past dynasties, and being able to meet four at a time can be regarded as a great creation!
