Chapter 182: There are many people who are not good at speaking

in reality

--boom

The aftermath of Chidori and Rasengan directly blew Naruto and Sasuke away.

Kakashi jumped up and caught Naruto.

The White Zetsu on Sasuke's body appeared on his back, preventing Sasuke's back from hitting the rock.

Naruto raised his head and looked at Sasuke: [Now, I understand everything. ]

Kakashi asked in confusion: [Everything is clear? What does that mean, Naruto?]

Naruto walked towards Sasuke and said, "It's okay, I just need to explain something to Sasuke."

Then, he walked forward a few steps and asked Sasuke: [Sasuke, do you remember what you said to me in the Valley of the End, about first-class ninjas...]

If they were all first-rate ninjas, they would be able to understand each other's thoughts simply by fighting each other, without having to speak them out.

[Through direct confrontation, we now understand each other a lot, which shows that we have become first-class ninjas, whether it is you or me. ]

[Sasuke, do you understand my true thoughts? My true thoughts.]

[And you saw it, right? If we fight, we'll both die.]

[Sasuke, if you attack Konoha, I will have to fight you. Save your hatred for then. Then you can vent it all on me. I am the only one who can bear your hatred. Only I can complete this mission. Then I will also bear your hatred and die with you.]

Sasuke lowered his head: [What's going on? Naruto? ]

At this point, he yelled at Naruto: [What on earth do you want to do? Why are you so obsessed with me? ]

【Because we are friends. 】

[Sasuke, we can't understand each other in the usual way. I understood it when we first met.]

As he spoke, Naruto stretched out his fist towards Sasuke and said with a smile: [It is right to use fists to understand each other.]

[I haven’t given up yet…]

[I will never give up on bringing you back to Konoha! ]

At this point, Naruto laughed and said, "But I won't keep talking. Really, I can't talk, so I'm going to lecture you? I'm not cut out for it."

Then, he scratched his head and said, "If we all die in the end, we will no longer be Uchiha, nor will we be the Jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails. We won't have to bear anything. Let's truly understand each other in that world."

Sasuke was silent for a while, his brows began to tighten, and he said coldly: [I will not change my mind, nor do I intend to understand each other with you, and I don’t want to die. You are the one who will die. ]

Naruto just stared at him, his attitude very serious: [Let's die together, Sasuke.]

……

Ninja World

"It's great to have a friend like Naruto. But...it would be better if he didn't insist on dragging his friends to die with him."

"I think I know what happened to Sasuke's broken arm in the future..."

"You are not the type to preach... Naruto, you are so modest."

"Tsk tsk. There are many people who are not good at speaking."

Pure Land

When Madara watched this scene, he felt a little complicated.

"Just like what that brat Kakashi said, if you look carefully into your heart, I just don't want to fall behind you, Hashirama."

"I don't want to follow behind you and protect your unrealistic peace, so I have my own goal. I want to surpass you and bring permanent peace to this ninja world."

"So, even if you also want to die with me, my heart will not be shaken at all, Hashirama."

the other side

Hashirama looked at Naruto on the screen with sharp eyes, like a student in class, listening very attentively.

When the scene on the screen turned to the next one, he slapped his forehead with a look of regret.

"If I had known earlier, I should have died together with Madara."

He felt that if he were as eloquent as Naruto, Madara would never leave the village.

Afterwards, he sighed again.

"Ban. I am sorry for you."

He had promised to make Madara the Hokage, but he didn't do it.

When Madara said he wanted to leave the village, he did not try to stop him.

When fighting with Madara, he chose to kill Madara in order to protect the village. As a result, the village he protected failed to protect even Madara's people, and pests like Danzo emerged to harm the village.

That Sharingan that filled an entire arm...

Even though he was not a member of the Uchiha clan, he could understand how angry Madara and Sasuke must be.

Ninja World

Rain Country

When Pain and Konan looked at Naruto, a hint of nostalgia flashed in their eyes.

The emotion in Konan's eyes was obvious, even Naruto could see it.

The emotions in Pain's eyes were obvious, even Kyuubi couldn't see it.

These circles of eyes seem to give people a feeling of oppression.

"Naruto really looks like Yahiko."

"Yes, both in appearance and personality."

Naruto was curious: "Looks like me?"

Xiaonan sighed, "Yeah, you look alike, but he's dead."

As she spoke, she pointed at Payne's face.

“Does this face look like your future self?”

Tendo Pain turned his face towards Naruto expressionlessly.

Naruto couldn't remember how many times his face had turned pale since he came to the Rain Country.

"Waaaaaah! Ghost!"

on screen

Screen turn

Sasuke's voice came.

[It seems that nothing I say will be of any use. When I found you earlier, the reason I followed you all the way here was to confirm whether what Afei and Danzo said was true.]

【But those are not the only things I have confirmed. 】

[Being with you reminds me of the past. When I was a kid, I admired my brother.]

[Because of this, the closer we are to each other, the more I understand you, and the more I hate Konoha for torturing you. This hatred is stronger than before.]

[I understand what you want me to do. Maybe it is because you are my brother that you deny me. But it is also because I am your younger brother that I will not stop no matter what you say.]

[Even if my brother wants to protect Konoha, I will definitely destroy it. ]

At this time, Itachi's voice came.

【Tiger, Dragon, Pig. Impure World Reincarnation, solution.】

There was a hint of loneliness in Sasuke's eyes.

【farewell.】

'elder brother.'

Ninja World

"It's Uchiha Itachi who can make Sasuke, who is trapped in hatred, speak in this tone...

"Is Sasuke...testing Itachi? Itachi's words are much more effective to Sasuke than Naruto's. As long as Itachi persuades Sasuke, then Sasuke will consider giving up destroying Konoha."

"There really is something else going on here, so what is Itachi's truth?"

on screen

After the Impure World Reincarnation was canceled, Itachi, with white light all over his body, turned around and walked towards Sasuke step by step.

[There is still time...]

[I can feel my consciousness gradually blurring out. Before we say goodbye, I will tell you the answer you want to know.]

Sasuke was startled.

Itachi continued: [On the night I parted with you, what I did was just as Afei and Danzo said.]

【Let me show you the truth. 】

Sasuke saw the scene change around him.

"This is... Itachi's memory?"

Seeing this, everyone in the ninja world was shocked.

The truth is here!
