The short war had finally come to an end.
That Fifth Hokage from another world, Itachi Uchiha, after coming to this world, had given the Konoha higher-ups a sound beating and had slaughtered the Akatsuki until blood flowed like rivers…
And now, as he was about to leave this ninja world, he was still saying things like, we have always approached this ninja world with peaceful intentions…
It's unknown where this person learned such rhetoric…
"I'm very sorry that some inherent concepts have caused a misunderstanding between us…" The Fifth Hokage under the Hokage's robe extended his hand and shook hands with them in reconciliation. "But please believe us, we have always held peaceful intentions and wished to get along with this ninja world in a friendly manner."
Kisame Hoshigaki, standing beside him, cleaned out his ear and said nothing. He had seen this routine countless times…
Heh, first, give the enemy ninja village a good beating, and then after reaching an agreement with the enemy, put on a face as if you're here to help them…
He was becoming more and more like that shameless fellow, Tobirama Senju.
The group looked at each other, their faces filled with confusion. "…"
Nagato and Konan were truly in pain. The two of them had worked so hard to develop and expand the organization, but now their organization was left with only four people…
And they now had to help the spy, Itachi of the Sharingan, to track down the biggest mastermind in the ninja world…
Yes.
The Sage of Six Paths had requisitioned the Akatsuki. He believed that the Itachi Uchiha of this world was very suitable for tracking down news of the other Zetsu, and had taught him Six Paths chakra and Six Paths senjutsu…
This was misplaced confidence and inertial thinking…
Not every ninja could live to be like the Fifth Hokage, Itachi Uchiha.
Sasuke's expression was still not good. Although he had learned the truth of the clan massacre from the two versions of his brother, he still didn't know how to get along with his older brother…
Orochimaru patted Sasuke's shoulder and, out of habit, put on a fake smile towards the visitors from another world. "I hope that our two ninja worlds can have mutually beneficial exchanges one day…"
"I agree with Mr. Orochimaru's opinion."
The figure under the Hokage's robe nodded, then suddenly turned his head to look at the Sage of Six Paths. "I almost forgot. I believe Mr. Orochimaru can be of great use in your actions. His research on ninjutsu and technology has always been very useful…"
Orochimaru: "…"
I'm being so friendly, and you're still trying to screw me over before you leave?
He slowly looked around, his gaze meeting those of Nagato, Konan, and Kisame. And beside him stood the two Itachi Uchiha brothers…
It seemed he couldn't beat any of them!
"I understand."
Itachi of the Sharingan took a few steps forward. He looked at his other-worldly self, a trace of envy unconsciously showing in his eyes, which was then immediately hidden without a trace.
The Fifth Hokage glanced at him and tossed a small bottle towards him. "If you encounter someone you can't deal with, you can use this… A Mangekyo Sharingan enhanced by Six Paths chakra. The cooldown time for Kotoamatsukami shouldn't be particularly long."
That was the eye he had gotten from Danzo Shimura.
"…Is this Shisui's other Sharingan?"
The rogue youth composed himself and looked at his younger brother beside him. As if knowing what he should do, he nodded. "I will inherit his eye and surpass his will."
Life was truly unpredictable…
Back then, he had transcended the concept of the clan and paid a huge price to choose to protect the village. Today, he had to transcend the concept of a single village and protect the entire ninja world with the rest of his life…
The Fifth Hokage gently walked in front of the scowling Sasuke and ruffled his hair. "No matter which world's Sasuke…"
"Is pretty annoying," Kisame Hoshigaki instinctively finished the sentence, then awkwardly rubbed his nose.
"…"
After glaring at the shark-faced man until he hid to the side, the Fifth Hokage continued, "Believe in your big brother. Even if the whole world hates you, he will always love you."
Sasuke pursed his lips and snorted coldly. "I don't need it!"
"Also, the Naruto of this world is always waiting for you in Konoha. He is a very reliable child. The Naruto of our world is perhaps not even his match in terms of will…" The Hokage robe gently patted his shoulder. "So, don't keep your friend waiting for too long!"
This part was actually true.
The Naruto Uzumaki of this world had lived a life that was too hard…
And the Naruto of their world, although he was also constrained by the Third Hokage in his childhood, had the care of the Konoha higher-up, Jiraiya. Plus, some other things that had happened later…
"So long-winded."
Sasuke Uchiha dodged his hand with a cold face, then after a moment, added in a small voice, "Got it."
"There is one more thing. Do you have any news of Madara Uchiha?" Itachi of the Sharingan asked softly, "He wears a tiger-striped mask year-round and possesses a Mangekyo Sharingan with a bizarre ability…"
"The name of that Mangekyo Sharingan is Kamui. Its ability is to possess a separate dimension, allowing him to hide his body in that space at any time to evade all attacks…"
The man under the Hokage's robe nodded and continued, "However, Konoha's Kakashi Hatake has the same eye. That Sharingan of his can help you catch that person… He is the survivor who clung to life in the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, Obito Uchiha."
"Thank you."
Itachi Uchiha bowed and nodded in thanks.
Among them, the ninjas who possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan, intelligence was the most taboo subject. If one could know the ability of the enemy's Mangekyo, many ways to counter it could be considered.
"You're welcome."
The Fifth Hokage waved his hand and opened a square, pitch-black space-time gate, signaling for Kisame to leave first. He followed closely behind.
A moment later, for some unknown reason, this person suddenly poked his head out of the space-time gate again. "Let me add one more thing. Don't be too concerned with the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan. The Kekkei Genkai is not the fundamental power of us ninja. Just like how I rarely use the power of my Sharingan…"
Itachi Uchiha: "…"
Sasuke Uchiha: "…"
The way he says that just makes you want to punch him!
From the other side of the space-time gate, it was unknown what was happening, but the two brothers seemed to hear a stern voice, "Itachi, you didn't come back with Sasuke? I just received a report from the Defense Department and the Military Police Force that Sasuke has not yet returned…"
"Fugaku-kun, Sasuke is sixteen now! You shouldn't treat him like he was a child. You need to give him some free space! But really, Fugaku-kun… although you still sound so strict, you're actually very concerned about Sasuke!"
Responding to that man's voice was a gentle woman.
Her voice, to the two Uchiha brothers, sounded more beautiful than any other sound in the world. Itachi of the Sharingan quietly lowered his head and closed his eyelids.
Sasuke Uchiha suddenly lunged towards the space-time gate, but only caught a handful of air. A stream of blood tears suddenly flowed from his eyes as the three tomoe in his eye sockets spun rapidly and merged. "…Dad… Mom…"
