Chapter 6: The Innocent
In the center of the village, two huge psychic beasts suddenly appeared.
Toad, Ten Thousand Snakes - those who are slightly familiar with the history of Konoha can immediately think of it, that is, the three ninjas of Konoha - Orochimaru and now the psychic beast of Hokage Jiraiya.
"Ah, Jiraiya...... You're pretty fast......"
But at this moment, standing on top of the head of ten thousand snakes, it is not only Orochimaru who is alone.
The silver-haired and blue-eyed man beside him was expressionless and held Tsunade in his arms, who had been seriously injured and unconscious, and beside him, there was a child who was quite familiar to him.
Jiraiya guessed in an instant what was going on. His face was slightly distorted with anger: "You...... How dare you fool the dead like this......"
"Say whatever you want." Orochimaru looked at his diagonal back nonchalantly, "-This plan, no one will be able to destroy it." β
As soon as he finished speaking, Kuroju, who was attached to a strange man, landed beside him along with Uchiha Dai.
"The three generations of Hokage aren't dead yet." Black Jedi reminded, "Don't take it lightly. Beware of his ghoul sealing technique. β
Orochimaru said coldly: "Hmph." What about Ning Ning? β
Hei Jue smiled: "She's a little awkward with us." Don't worry, though, she'll be back. β
Orochimaru looked at his possessed body again and raised his eyebrows: "Who is this guy?" β
Hei Jue said, "It's a gift that Dai wants to give to an old friend." β
"Ah, I found it."
At this moment, the Uchiha Dai, who had not spoken, finally stopped looking around. The robe on her body hunted in the air, "I saw Qimu Qian." Hamura, it's time for you to play. β
Without blushing, Kuroku, who was known as Otsuki Kiba Village, reached out to Tsunade who was unconscious in the arms of the rope tree and dragged her into his arms.
Looking at the opposite side of the body, he also rushed over, and Orochimaru urged the ten thousand snakes under his feet to meet him: "Hurry up and speed up, don't overdo it." β
β¦β¦
When the accident happened, Qi Mu Qian, Xi Ri Hong, Mao Yue Xi Yan, and Red Bean were all together, Qi Mu Qian immediately made a decision, arranged for Mao Yue Xi Yan to send Xi Ri Hong to avoid danger, and then quickly entered a state of combat readiness with Red Bean, and rushed towards the center of the village with the largest movement.
After seeing the ostentatious robe and the orange vortex mask, Qi Mu Qian's heart froze.
She recognized who it was.
She immediately remembered the memories of Uchiha Obito that she had seen in Uchiha Itachi's moon reading world four years ago.
Uchiha Obito is the Uchiha Dai of another world.
Then she saw the familiar figure beside her, and her face turned pale all at once.
Black Jedi moved from behind the man to his right, and now he looked like all the people he had possessed before, half black, half human.
On the side of the face that belonged to the human, the man closed his eyes and his body uncontrollably held a handful of kunai against Tsunade's throat.
"I heard you have a lover." Uchiha Dai's tone was brisk and twisted, "Akane, I haven't had time to congratulate you yet. β
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦ Little did I know, though, that you're getting married. I'm sorry, it seems to have broken a good thing-"
ββ¦β¦β
"What's this person's name, Masumi? It's unbelievable that the genius Qimu Qian would actually fall in love with such an ordinary guy? β
ββ¦β¦β
"You're living together, aren't you? After all, we found him at your house...... It's pathetic......"
Uchiha Dai's tone grew deeper and lower, and she stared at Akane Hagi, her eyes getting colder and colder, "It's pitiful, he's writing a wedding invitationβunfortunately, he'll never finish it." β
"Uchiha Dai !!!"
"What's wrong, Akane Hagi?" The Uchiha Dai was not afraid of such a roar, and she sneered, "Isn't the safety of the village the most important? Well? He'll kill that Tsunade with his own hands if he's waiting, right? Wait a little longer, maybe we'll make him into a bomb and blow up Konoha all...... How about killing him now? Madder? He's not dead yet...... But you probably won't be able to save him, will you? How about simply killing him and making his innocent sacrifice fulfill your reputation as a hero who killed your relatives in righteousness? Pretty good, right? β
Looking at the bloodshot eyes that Qiki Akane revealed, in the end, Uchiha Dai's voice gradually became sad, full of resentment: "-Aren't you for Konoha, can you kill anything!!!!!! β
"-Rin can die, can't he?????"
Akane Hachiki gasped, she looked at the man holding Tsunade hostage in silence, she looked at him with his eyes closed, his expression calm and silent, not knowing what had happened to him when she didn't know.
She believed he must have fought so hard.
However, no one found out.
No one received a call for help, and no one arrived in time.
She was supposed to stay with him.
- She was supposed to stay with him!!
If she hadn't left, if she hadn't gone out......
Today, she can still remember how she looked when she went out.
He stood in the hallway, looked at her helplessly and smiled: "You really left me alone at home like this?" β
"Because we think that if we don't let you see the wedding dress, we can surprise you when the ceremony is held!"
She put on her shoes, stood up, turned to look at him, and smiled with her eyes crooked.
He greeted her, took her hand, and gently kissed the tail of her uncovered eye, "Are you coming back for dinner?" β
"I don't know...... Akane narrowed her eyes slightly, accepted the kiss, and said with a smile, "But lunch must have been eaten out with them." I'll try to come back, after all, Red is pregnant, and Asma isn't very worried that she's staying outside for too long. β
"Then I'll wait for you." He laughed.
"Write an invitation at home." Qimu Qian smiled, reached out and rubbed his cheek, stared at him reluctantly, and after a long while, he let go of his hand, "I'm out." β
He waved at her, "Be careful on the road. β
The scene was so clear that she still remembered the curvature of the smile on his lips as he stood in the doorway and saw her off.
Why......
Why......
She couldn't stay with him?
She knew she couldn't show any emotion, and years of combat experience had taught her that the more critical the moment, the more she couldn't be seen and shaken by the enemy.
But she felt her body tremble slightly, her limbs stiff and heavy as if they had lost control.
She could barely think of any tactics, as if all ninjutsu had been forgotten in an instant.
"Motionless, Akane Kiki."
And the Uchiha Dai stared at her without compassion, "What's the matter, does it have to be like Rin and rush towards you himself?" β
"Then you can tell yourself afterwards, with fake grief, that you didn't kill them, they volunteered to die at your hands β are you innocent? Do you think you're innocent!? β
