In the forest, along with the gentle wind, Itachi's smile still hasn't disappeared.
With tenderness in his eyes, there was also pity, especially when he looked at Sasuke's missing arm.
" You must have suffered a lot. "
" Can you tell me about it? "
Itachi's voice was very soft as if he was afraid of touching Sasuke.
" Of course, brother. "
The adult Sasuke nodded with a smile.
Then the two jumped and sat on a big branch, just like when they were younger.
The adult Sasuke's voice soon slowly sounded.
" Not long ago, after I fought with Naruto at the Valley Of The End, I took refuge in Orochimaru. And from him, I began to learn… "
" Three years later, I broke up with Orochimaru, so I killed him and fused with his power to take revenge on you. "
The adult Sasuke slowly told his story.
And also Naruto's.
It's just that it was from his point of view this time.
Front the Valley Of The End, to learning with Orochimaru.
Turning against him.
Their brothers battle.
Then he joined the Akatsuki.
The Fourth Great Ninja War.
Sasuke's voice was not loud.
Itachi listened quietly without any interruption.
And his smile never stopped.
Even after hearing about their battle, his expression didn't change.
Even when he heard about the Fourth Great Ninja War, Uchiha Madara, and Uchiha Obito, he didn't care much.
For him, there was nothing more important than his younger brother.
Even if the information he received was enough to make the world crazy.
Until Sasuke told him what happened after the war.
Especially when it came to his marriage and daughter, Itachi's expression suddenly changed.
" Sakura… that's your teammate! "
" Such a nice girl! "
" So her name is Sarada? "
" What is she like? "
At this moment, Itachi's voice seemed very much like an elder's. And he started to ask Sasuke about Sarada.
The adult Sasuke also spoke with a smile
This conversation lasted for almost a day and a night.
When the morning sun gradually rose from the horizon.
Uchiha Itachi slowly stood up from the treetop.
" Okay, Sasuke, since you returned to this era, you should have more important things to do.
" Go ahead. "
Itachi spoke softly.
" Brother. "
Sasuke spoke quietly with some hesitation in his voice.
" Go. I believe in my choice, I won't regret it. "
" Remember, Sasuke, no matter what you do. I will always love you. "
Uchiha Itachi jumped to the ground and spoke softly.
After he was done, he went directly to Kisame's sleeping body, took him up, and walked towards the distance.
" Brother… "
" I see… "
The adult Sasuke muttered.
Immediately, the confusion in his eyes gradually dissipated, turning into confidence.
His right hand unconsciously covered his eye.
And his figure also disappeared in a flash.
On the other hand,
After they left.
Kisame slowly came to his senses.
" Hey, Itachi-san, what happened just now? "
" Why did I faint? "
Kisame's voice reverberated in the forest.
" Nothing, I just tried my newly developed Genjutsu on you. "
" Yeah? "
The voice of the two talking gradually faded away.
No one knew what Itachi was thinking at this moment.
For the adult Sasuke, their conversation completely untied some knots in his heart.
His burden was gone for good.
When he appeared in front of Naruto again, there seemed to be a small smile plastered on his face.
" Uncle Sasuke! What did you do? I feel like you have changed a lot. "
Boruto spoke curiously. His eyes couldn't help staring at the adult Sasuke.
Even if he knew nothing, he could feel the changes in Sasuke.
*Bump*
" Ouch! "
" Dad! Why are you hitting me? "
With a cry of pain, Boruto looked at Naruto with a mournful face.
" What do you mean? You still haven't practiced your Taijutsu today. Hurry up! "
Naruto spoke angrily.
" Ah, Dad, you were not like this in my time. "
Boruto spoke with a sad face.
" Otherwise? How are you going to face the Otsutsuki? Don't forget, Momoshiki put his Karma on you. If you don't become stronger, he will take over. "
" Naruto spoke angrily again.
" Ah! Okay Okay! "
" I know, dad! "
Boruto spoke quickly.
He then ran out immediately.
For some reason, facing his father in this universe, he was extremely scared. A lot more than when facing his universe's dad.
No matter what Naruto said, during these last two days, he didn't dare to refute it.
He chose to obey.
This time it is the same.
In response, he ran out quickly.
He went to practice his Taijutsu.
When Boruto left, Naruto's gaze turned towards the adult Sasuke.
" Are you ready? "
" After all, whether it is my Sage Body or power, they haven't been developed yet, it is hard to say what exactly will happen, but I reckon the effect won't be as good as Hashirama's cells. Once transplanted even if you won't evolve immediately, you won't be able to keep your Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan for long.
Naruto opened his mouth with a serious expression.
