CH 72

On the rock.

Minato sat on the rock, and after doing everything he could do for the world, he suddenly felt that he was free.

Now that Konoha had their 5th Hokage, the only thing left in the world was the village under his feet. When the burden on Konoha was removed, Minato knew that there was not only Konoha in his mind, but also Kushina.

“Sensei, what will you do when you go there?” Itachi was very curious about the world Minato went to, and according to his teacher, he might go to that world later.

“Me?”

Minato I thought about it, looked at the only white cloud in the sky, and said, “I want to rest first, and then, I might go to Akatsuki.”

“Is there Akatsuki in that world?” Itachi looked at Minato and asked.

For the strength of Akatsuki, Itachi had a personal experience. What he paid was an arm and a broken Mangekyo Sharingan.

When the village was the first to be destroyed, Itachi could not believe it. He had followed his teacher Minato to attack the base of Akatsuki. At that time, there were not many enemies. Under the leadership of Minato, Konoha Ninjas directly destroyed their base.

After that, Minato also disappeared from this world. However, because Konoha had always been suppressing Akatsuki, Itachi believed that even without his teacher, Konoha would still be at an advantage under his leadership.

However, the result was far beyond Itachi’s expectations. The four big villages failed one after another, and the Kage of the big villages were also killed one after another. When the surviving Ninjas of the big villages gathered in Konoha, Itachi knew that just the word “powerful” was not enough to describe the opponent.

“Of course, but the opponent seems to be different. Their leader knows how to use space Ninjutsu.” Back in the Forest of Amagakure, Minato once fought with Obito, so he still remembered the Space-time Ninjutsu he used.

“Space-time Ninjutsu?” When Itachi heard this Ninjutsu, he pondered for a moment, “There shouldn’t be many people who can use this.”

“Well, besides Flying Thunder God, this is also the first time I have seen it.” Minato nodded and replied, “The opponent is very strong, stronger than Akatsuki here, but I will still send them to the ground.”

Because the matters in this world had been settled, Minato was much more free and easy. After that, his main goal when he returned to the main world was Akatsuki. As for the unified Ninja World that he had discussed with Washi before, after destroying Akatsuki, it would not be too late to do so.

When Minato talked about Akatsuki, the smile on his face disappeared. Although they were separated by a world, Minato still could not forgive these people.

Itachi wanted to comfort him, but he looked at his teacher’s side profile, and his firm expression. In the end, he chose to remain silent.

“Right, Naruto, after I leave, I will leave him to you. You have to help me look after him.” Minato did not look at Itachi. Instead, he looked at the sky and said to Itachi, “A few days ago, you didn’t take care of that kid. You only know how to play all day long.”

“He is at the age of playing. It’s good to play.” Seeing Minato mentioning Naruto, Itachi smiled and said.

Indeed, because he was the son of his teacher, Itachi took care of Naruto after he defeated Danzo with the Uchiha Clan. Not only did he give him a house, but he also invited people to take care of him. Although Naruto did not like these people who took care of him, Itachi still insisted on this expense.

“Playful years? Don’t you see how old he is?” Minato recalled the scene when he and Itachi entered Naruto’s room and smiled.

However, the smile did not last long on Minato’s face.

Mentioning Naruto’s treatment in this world, Minato could not help but think of Naruto who he had taken back from Konoha in the main world. The child who suffered in Konoha, the son of Hokage whose parents died on the night when Kyubi attacked Village. Compared to him, the treatment was really different.

With this idea, he was even more determined to cut himself off from Konoha in the original world.

“Sensei?” Seeing Minato stunned, Itachi whispered.

“Oh, I just remembered someone.” After being called back by Itachi, Minato looked back at the sky and said, “I haven’t seen you play with that kid called Sasuke. I saw him outside your ward yesterday, and I was still asking about you.”

“Sasuke?” At the mention of his brother, Itachi couldn’t help but smile, “He is different from Naruto.”

Minato stood up and patted his pants, “What is different? It is the future of Konoha.”

“He is still my younger brother, the child of the Uchiha.” Seeing Minato stand up, Itachi also stood up with his remaining arm on the ground, “He needs the Sharingan.”

“I am not familiar with the Sharingan. I don’t know what’s going on with you guys. You should do as you see fit.” Minato didn’t want to care about these children anymore. After that, he opened his arms, facing the sunset, and whispered, “This world is the world I want.”

That world also needed to make this kind of change.

Minato didn’t say the last sentence, but silently read it in his heart.

“You can look for Orochimaru with your arm. Maybe he has a way to make a new one for you.” Minato, who had been staying on the Hokage Rock for too long, was ready to go home. Before leaving, he didn’t forget to remind Itachi.

Because Minato had been in contact with Orochimaru for a long time in the past few days, and he knew that Orochimaru was studying Hashirama’s cells. However, he didn’t want to care about it. If he wanted to study it, he could do it. As long as he could make Konoha continue to grow stronger and no longer have five big countries, Minato didn’t mind anything else.

After saying that, Minato didn’t wait for Itachi to reply. He jumped down to the bottom of the rock. It was almost dinner time, and he was still in a hurry to go home and eat with Naruto.

Itachi looked at his teacher who was leaving, and reached out to pinch the empty arm on the other side.

There was nothing wrong with a hand.

Itachi, who was on the rock, smiled. He was not going to find Orochimaru to repair his arm. This was a memorial for this war. It was a punishment for not being able to defend Konoha.
