Chapter 305 Itachi and the Two Pillars
"Ha~
Naruto sent us a message asking us to look for you all over the world."
Uchiha Fugaku put down the letter in his hand, looked at the big pillar kneeling beside him and sneered.
"It seems that he already knows that you have come to this world, and he also said in his heart... Uzumaki Boruto is now in the Hidden Rain Village."
"Father, I will prepare to leave now."
Whether it was for the naughty kid Boruto Uzumaki or to meet Naruto of this world, the Great Pillar decided to rush to the Hidden Rain Village immediately.
What's more, in the Hidden Rain Village, there are... his mother and brother whom he misses day and night.
"Wait, I haven't finished yet, why are you panicking?"
Uchiha Fugaku called out to Dazhu who was about to turn and leave.
The next second, Uchiha Fugaku slowly stood up from the chair, and the sound of bones crackling like popping beans came from his whole body.
“I am going back with you this time because I also want to see… What kind of young talent is Uzumaki Boruto who is thinking about my granddaughter…”
As soon as he finished speaking, the black robe that Uchiha Fugaku was wearing moved without wind, and the corner of his robe swung violently, smashing the chair behind him into pieces.
Big pillar: (ー_ー)!!
Dazhu was secretly glad in his heart that he had not had time to tell Uchiha Fugaku that Uzumaki Boruto was his apprentice, otherwise...
Maybe it's not the chair that's turned into powder now, but him...
……
"Okay, your training with me ends here today..."
Hearing this, Boruto ran away without caring about the pain in his body.
But before he could run a few steps, Erzhuzi grabbed Fate by the scruff of the neck.
Erzhuzi: "Where are you going?"
Uzumaki Boruto: ??????…
"Master... didn't you say that today's training is over?"
"I said that your training here is over, but that doesn't mean... there won't be someone else to continue training you in my place."
Boruto Uzumaki's face turned pale and his whole body was shaking like a sieve.
"No, that's not necessary... I think the amount of training I've done today is already..."
"Stop talking nonsense and follow me!"
Looking at the trembling figure following Nijiru away behind him, Naruto smiled slightly.
"Having great strength alone does not make you a qualified ninja~"
Just yesterday, Naruto had compiled 108 scripts and handed them to Itachi.
Itachi's Mangekyō has long been thirsty, waiting for Uzumaki Boruto, the protagonist of the 108 life dramas, to deliver the goods to his door...
"Hmm~ Let me think about what the script is that I want this naughty kid to experience in Tsukuyomi today...
Emmm... It seems like he started with a bowl, and after years of hard work and struggle, he conquered a country. When he was about to ascend the throne and become emperor, he was slapped awake from his dream, and a hemp rope was thrown to him and pointed at the crooked tree in front of him, telling him to do whatever he wanted?"
Ah, very good.
I believe that after experiencing this scenario, Uzumaki Boruto will understand——
There has never been any chosen one in this world, and a smooth and setback-free life only appears in dreams.
Only by abandoning those useless fantasies and moving forward step by step with determination can he find the path that belongs only to him...
……
In the most remote corner of Yuyin Village, there are two simple wooden houses standing alone.
Apart from Xiaodi's arms testing ground, this is probably the most desolate place in the entire Hidden Rain Village.
The owners of these two wooden houses were Itachi, who was deprived of the "Uchiha" surname, and Uchiha Izumi, who was responsible for "monitoring" him.
creak~
There was a harsh friction sound coming from the old wooden door.
In the dark little hut with no windows or lights, a pair of scarlet eyes slowly opened.
"……coming?"
Itachi's voice was a little hoarse, and just hearing this voice made Boruto Uzumaki, who followed Nibiru and pushed the door into the house, feel a chill.
"Sister Quan isn't here?"
Erzhuzi looked around but did not see the familiar figure.
"Izumi went to the street to buy something. Now I'm the only one here."
"..."
"..."
The room fell into silence for a long time.
"Leave the person to me."
Itachi spoke slowly.
“…Your pain is getting worse.
Please, let me take you to find the last one...Brother."
Erzhuzi looked at the two faint red lights in the darkness with a complicated expression and tried his best to make his voice softer.
It's very strange. Nishikuni, who has merged with the "Soul of the Flathead Brother", has offended almost everyone in the Hidden Rain Village, but only in front of Itachi... Nishikuni can miraculously suppress his instinct as the "Flathead Brother of the Ninja World".
"Maybe next time... Tsukuyomi."
As the Kaleidoscope turned, it instantly pulled Boruto Uzumaki, who was still in a daze, into the illusion that had been constructed long ago.
“After training, I’ll let him go back on his own.
And now...it's time for you to leave, Sasuke."
Itachi's words seemed gentle, but Jiko could not detect even a trace of the friendship between the brothers in the past.
He didn't understand what happened to his brother. It seemed that after the death of Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo... Itachi deliberately distanced himself from Hashira.
In other words, Itachi was deliberately distancing himself from everyone.
After completing the operation to kill Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo outside the Sheep Village, Itachi returned to the Hidden Rain Village and locked himself in this dark wooden house all day long, where even the sunlight could not penetrate at all.
No one knows why he locked himself up here, and no one knows what he is planning in this day-long darkness.
Perhaps the only person who knows the truth is Uchiha Izumi, who has always been by his side, but Izumi refuses to tell Hashira the truth.
To date, the only information that Nizhuzi has collected that is slightly related to Itachi's abnormal behavior is...
The only thing is that Itachi's physical condition is extremely poor, and is getting worse day by day.
"...Humph! Let's go!"
A nameless fire ignited in his chest. Erzhuzi turned around and walked out of the house, slamming the door shut.
The old wooden door once again blocked out the faint light coming from the outside, and in the silent darkness, two faint red lights gradually went out.
Itachi closed his eyes and listened quietly to the increasingly weak footsteps of Nijima. Only after he was sure that he had completely gone far away did he slightly open his lips.
"Forgive me, Sasuke..."
