Chapter 707

~6 min read 1,107 words

"Come, little Uchiha Sasuke, the next part of the explanation is up to you!"

Uchiha Obito, Namikaze Minato, and the others, who had traveled through time many times, were already tired of explaining their origins.

But they had been forced to bite the bullet and reluctantly stand up to explain because there was no one else before.

But now, things were different.

There were more and more reborn travelers, and among these people, many had experienced even more than Uchiha Obito.

Therefore, it was most appropriate for them to come out and explain.

And the parties involved, Uchiha Obito and Namikaze Minato, also expressed their strong agreement with this.

"Hmph, as expected, the dead-last is always troublesome; even for a small matter like this, they have to have others do the work for them!!"

Seeing Uchiha Obito specifically name him, Uchiha Sasuke was very unhappy.

But because this matter involved his older brother, he could only walk out silently.

However, not refusing didn't mean he had no objections.

Seeing Obito call him a little kid, Uchiha Sasuke naturally didn't want to be outdone and retorted directly.

"Bastard, I hate it most when people call me a dead-last; you're truly the disciple of that idiot Kakashi, even your personality is almost exactly the same as his!!"

Uchiha Sasuke's words poked at Uchiha Obito's sore spot.

If one were to talk about the things Uchiha Obito found most painful in this life, yet was most powerless to change, there were two.

One was being assigned to the same team as Hatake Kakashi.

The other was because he had traveled back too late and graduated from the Ninja Academy with the grades of a dead-last.

Even if others talked about these two things privately, if Uchiha Obito heard them, he would chase them for nine streets.

Now that Uchiha Sasuke had said it so brazenly, how could Obito endure it!

One could see Uchiha Obito's eyes spitting fire, white smoke rising from his head, and his hands waving frantically.

Just as Obito's fist was about to smash into Uchiha Sasuke, Namikaze Minato suddenly moved.

With a Body Flicker Technique, he appeared silently behind Obito, then scooped up the frantic Uchiha Obito and retreated back into the group.

"Your relationship seems pretty good!"

Watching his younger brother and Uchiha Obito bickering like this, a hint of a smile flashed in the eyes of the Uchiha Itachi from this world.

"With him? You're overthinking it!"

Uchiha Sasuke shook his head and didn't offer much explanation; then, he gathered his thoughts and slowly recounted what had happened in the Ninja World afterward!

This explanation took an hour.

By now, the time had unknowingly reached the early morning.

In the stronghold, apart from the faint light where everyone was located, the rest of the place remained pitch black.

In the dark environment, the croaking of frogs could be heard from time to time.

Other than that, there was only the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the forest.

"So, you are a group of people who come from the past but possess memories of the future, is that it?"

After a long while, Uchiha Itachi finally spoke.

"You can understand it that way!"

Namikaze Minato nodded and stepped forward to say.

"No conflict, no hatred, no boundaries; people, villages, and nations are actually able to trust one another.

Such a future truly exceeded my expectations!

Naruto is truly amazing to be able to achieve what even the First Hokage couldn't, cough, cough, cough..."

Uchiha Itachi looked up slightly at the ceiling; at this moment, he was constantly transforming the future Uchiha Sasuke had just described into a scene imprinted in his mind.

Just as he finished imagining it and couldn't help but praise it.

Suddenly, he began to cough violently!

"Itachi, how are you? Are you alright? Lord Minato, why don't we go to Konoha Village first and find Lady Tsunade to help Itachi treat his body!"

Seeing Uchiha Itachi cough up blood, Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Shisui, and the others all began to worry.

Although they had learned of Uchiha Itachi's physical condition from Uchiha Sasuke before coming.

But when they saw such a wretched Uchiha Itachi with their own eyes, they still couldn't help but feel heartache.

"No, Father, Shisui, I cannot go to Konoha!"

Before Minato could speak, Uchiha Itachi, who had recovered slightly, spoke first:

"Everything is already developing according to the future you described!

As long as we keep it that way, it will be fine!

We absolutely must not let the future develop in another direction because of me."

"You're already this sick; you shouldn't worry about these things. Even if you are worried, you should at least wait until your illness is cured before talking about it!"

Uchiha Shisui frowned; he was somewhat dissatisfied with Uchiha Itachi's behavior of not cherishing his own body.

"My life doesn't count for much. If I die for the sake of the future you speak of, I will have no regrets!"

Uchiha Itachi pretended not to see Uchiha Shisui's dissatisfaction and said to him with a smile.

"What kind of nonsense are you talking about? Everyone's life is precious; how can you..."

Uchiha Shisui tried to refute Itachi, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by Uchiha Itachi:

"It is precisely because life is precious that sometimes, some things, once owed, must be repaid with one's life!"

Almost no one present was a fool; everyone knew very well what 'some things' Uchiha Itachi was referring to.

But precisely because they knew, no one knew how to persuade this person who was full of a desire for death.

For some, living is happiness, but for Uchiha Itachi, living was definitely a form of torture.

The things he had shouldered in this life were simply too many.

So many that he could almost only use his own life as an exchange to find relief.

This kind of pain could not be understood by anyone who hadn't experienced it.

Therefore, even if everyone was reluctant to let him go, they didn't know how to persuade him for the moment.

"You don't need to worry about me, right, the me from another world!"

Perhaps seeing that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, the Uchiha Itachi from this world smiled and spoke again.

"......."

Looking at the indifferent Uchiha Itachi, the mood of the group did not relax; on the contrary, they felt a bit more sorrow.

"If I could, I would really like to see the world you speak of with my own eyes!"

Uchiha Itachi ignored the group and continued speaking to himself.
