Chapter 99: The Past

"Hey, hey, wait, that Akatsuki they're talking about, it couldn't be our organization, could it?"

Far away in Amegakure, Yahiko looked at the video, completely bewildered!

"It must be a coincidence of names! We founded the Akatsuki to change the country, to build a bridge of hope toward world peace through communication between people!"

Nagato thought for a moment and said: "It shouldn't be the same thing as the Akatsuki that Jiraiya-sensei mentioned."

At this time, the Akatsuki organization was striving for peace in the ninja world. What they didn't know was that in the future, after Yahiko died, Nagato's personality would change drastically, leading the Akatsuki to become the organization Jiraiya spoke of. Of course, everything had already changed now; Danzō was already controlled by Obito, and Obito hadn't plotted against the Akatsuki. If nothing unexpected happened, Yahiko wouldn't die a tragic death!

"Why don't we go to Konoha and take a look? I'm quite curious about this little junior brother, Uzumaki Naruto!" Konan thought for a moment and said: "By the way, we can also see Jiraiya-sensei and ask him about the Akatsuki he mentioned."

"Good idea! I support Konan's suggestion. We haven't seen Jiraiya-sensei in a long time, and to be honest, I really miss him!" Yahiko supported the idea immediately!

"Alright... The ninja world is suddenly so peaceful now, we don't have anything to do anyway!" Nagato nodded, agreeing with Konan's suggestion.

And so, the three of them set off toward Konoha!

"Jiraiya, no wonder you said we and Sasuke were different from Naruto!" Orochimaru looked at the video, his tone strange as he said:

"If Naruto had given up as easily as you did, the ninja world would be finished."

"Hmph..." Jiraiya snorted coldly and didn't answer Orochimaru's words directly!

"That girl named Haruno Sakura, in the world of the memory orb, she should be Sasuke's wife!" Uchiha Fugaku, after watching the video for a long time, suddenly said!

"What makes you say that?" Minato, the only one present who knew the truth, asked curiously!

"Although I've only seen Sasuke a few times on video, he is my son after all. I can roughly guess my son's personality!" Uchiha Fugaku said!

At this time, Kakashi had already told them everything about Itachi and Shisui, so he had returned to the Hokage Building and happened to hear Fugaku's words!

As Sasuke's teacher, Kakashi had a certain understanding of Sasuke, so he was also very interested in Fugaku's words!

"Can you be more specific?" Kakashi asked!

"Sasuke is a person who lives in the past. In his early years, he possessed a kind heart; that was the happiest time of his life. Later, the clan suffered a great change, and his personality underwent a earth-shattering transformation, but the kind side still existed!" Uchiha Fugaku said!

"Can you be more specific?" The people in the Hokage Building were confused and couldn't understand at all!

"Sasuke's childhood was happy, his family was alive. At this time, he lived most authentically, so what we saw was an optimistic, kind Sasuke!

Later, the clan suffered a great change, and he became an avenger. At this time, his kindness was deeply buried in his heart! His mind was full of revenge!

Later, he was persuaded by Naruto and returned to Konoha. At this time, he was thinking about atonement, so the kind side reappeared."

"You mean Sasuke would marry Haruno Sakura for the sake of atonement?"

Nara Shikaku and the others didn't have the memory of the marriage, so they didn't know who Sasuke's wife was!

"Yes, from the Fourth Hokage and Kakashi, I heard a lot about Sasuke. At that time, Sasuke did many things to hurt the ninja world for the sake of revenge. Later, although he returned to Konoha, the mistakes he made wouldn't disappear just because he returned. Given his personality, he would definitely make compensation!"

As the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his father. Although Uchiha Fugaku had only seen Sasuke a few times on video, based on the information provided by Kakashi and Minato, he had analyzed Sasuke's personality quite accurately!

"Sacrificing one's lifelong happiness for atonement, that doesn't seem very likely, right?" Rin said, not quite believing it!

"For Sasuke, from the moment he decided to return to Konoha, his remaining life was destined to be spent in atonement. Who he marries is the same to Sasuke. Perhaps they have feelings for each other, but it's more about Sasuke's guilt toward Haruno Sakura!" Uchiha Fugaku said!

Minato nodded secretly. According to Kakashi, before Sasuke returned to Konoha, he had tried to kill Haruno Sakura more than once. Even though Haruno Sakura had always loved him deeply, he hadn't shown the slightest mercy! Minato didn't believe they would get married at that time!

But according to Naruto, they later became husband and wife, which had always puzzled Minato. Today, hearing Fugaku's explanation, Minato understood a little!

"If they are husband and wife in the memory orb, then in this life, will you bring them together?" Minato asked tentatively!

Fugaku thought for a long time, and finally he shook his head.

"Why?" Minato asked!

"If Sasuke married Haruno Sakura for atonement, his sins have already been atoned for in the memory orb world! In this life, he doesn't owe anyone anything, so he can truly live for himself!"

Uchiha Fugaku continued: "Of course, if the two of them have feelings, there's no need for me to bring them together at all!"

Minato nodded. The things of the previous life cannot be placed on this life. This point was very clear to both Minato and Naruto, who used the Rinne Rebirth. Just as Fugaku said, how to live this life is one's own choice; others cannot influence it at all!

"Kakashi, not just Sasuke, I also hope that in this life, you can live your own life!"

Minato said, looking at Kakashi!

Who else but Uchiha Sasuke lives in the past? Didn't Kakashi in the previous life live in the past?

His father committed suicide, his best friend died to save him, the girl who liked him was killed by his own hands, his teacher and his teacher's wife both died on the same day!

Why did Kakashi favor Sasuke? Could it really be that there was no reason because they were both in the same boat?

In this life, except for the suicide of the White Fang of the Leaf, other things hadn't happened yet, and if nothing unexpected happened, they wouldn't happen at all. So Minato hoped that Kakashi could also live out his own brilliance!

Kakashi was very clear about his teacher's good intentions. After a long silence, Kakashi revealed his signature smile... ===== CHAPTER 101 =====
