Chapter 135 Reunion

In the darkness, above the treetops, Uchiha Itachi stood quietly in the sky filled with fireworks.

I saw him hanging his left hand from his robe on his chest, gently stroking the "zhu" ring on his ring finger.

Although it was a way that was difficult for him to understand, no matter what, Sasuke finally opened the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Next, all he has to do is wait for his revenge.

Can this hell-like world finally end?

Looking at the blooming fireworks, Uchiha Itachi felt happiness surge in his heart.

"It's quite a show, isn't it?"

In the distance, Kisame Kisaki grinned at Kimimaro and smiled strangely.

As a compatriot of the Kirigakure Ninja Village, he didn't have much hostility towards the Kaguya clan.

In fact, when Kisame discovered that this blood inheritance limit still existed in the world, he felt more excited about it, and his warlike intentions were ignited.

After all, when he was young, the blood inheritance limit of the "Corpse Bone Vein" had always been a thunderous presence in the Kirigakure Ninja Village.

"You and I are not the protagonists today. When you recover, maybe we can have another hearty battle."

After saying these words, Kisame Kisaki shouldered his sword and walked towards the distance.

After being stunned for a long time, Kimimaro dragged his injured body and walked towards the direction where Uchiha Sasuke and others were.

"Oh!"

"Boom! Boom!"

The scattered fireworks lit up the night sky across the Valley of the End, and the originally dark river water also reflected beautiful colors.

Under the fireworks, every face looked up to watch.

Every face is reflected in this fleeting beauty.

Feel the sorrow of things that are brilliant when they are born and magnificent when they fall.

Jiraiya, Sasuke looked up.

Tsunade, Haruno Sakura looked up.

Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Obito were also looking up from their respective places.

The color of the fireworks made everyone's face flicker.

"縁がありて神 meets the fireworks on a moonlit night"

(The origin is that the gods gathered together on a moonlit night to enjoy the fireworks)

Whispering such sentences, the Nepenthes-like Fusion Zetsu gradually sank back into the mountain.

If you leave this mechanism, you will be exhausted, but in the end, you will fall short of the valley of the end.
-

"So, Uzumaki Naruto is not dead?"

Uchiha Obito asked in a deep voice.

Bai Jue: "Not dead."

Obito: "Jiraiya, he's not dead either?"

Bai Jue: "Not dead."

Obito: "But your mother has opened the Mangekyō Sharingan?"

Don't talk about my mother!

Hei Jue was filled with resentment, suppressed his anger, and said in a deep voice:

"opened."

"Then what are we busy with?!"

Uchiha Obito slapped his palms on the bluestone in front of him angrily.

Huge pain shot back from his palm, causing him to grin under his mask.

After such a struggle, Uchiha Itachi achieved his goal, and Sasuke also improved greatly.

So, this is the only world where Obito Uchiha was injured?

Thinking about it more carefully, I am afraid that after turning on the kaleidoscope, Uchiha Sasuke is not something he can control casually.

What did I do? !

Uchiha Obito began to feel incompetent and furious:

"I'm telling you! Uchiha Itachi should have let Uchiha Itachi tie Naruto directly in front of Sasuke and chop him up! You guys have to do such fancy things!!"

"Uchiha Sasuke is probably a more terrifying genius than Uchiha Itachi. We have ignored him before."

Black Zetsu said in a hoarse voice, seeming to be explaining to Uchiha Obito, and also seemed to be talking to himself.
-

That day, after controlling Naruto with the Mangekyo Sharingan, Sasuke and his party felt exhausted both physically and mentally.

As time passed, Naruto's tailed beast transformation was also released.

Although, he didn't fully understand what was happening.

But seeing that he and Sasuke were safe and sound, and that his mentor Jiraiya, whom he had not seen for a long time, also appeared beside him, Naruto suddenly felt overjoyed. Everything was as he thought it was perfect.

Afterwards, the group rested in the Valley of the End for a while before getting up and slowly heading back towards the Hidden Leaf Village.

The fireworks were gone, and the air was filled with the smoky smell of sulfur.

The stars are dim and the evening breeze is slow.

In the dense forest, the three masters and apprentices told each other about their experiences in recent days.

When they talked about being sucked into the Kamui space by the mysterious masked man, and when Naruto was captured by Kisame, the others held their breaths and concentrated, as if they were experiencing it together.

When they talked about Uchiha Obito's behavior, everyone was silent again, thinking in their hearts, unable to tell whether this person was a friend or an enemy.

"Kimimaro, speaking of which, your illness still needs further treatment from Tsunade-sama."

Halfway through the conversation, Sasuke was surprised to realize that Kimimaro seemed to be neglecting him, and he quickly extended an invitation.

"If you ask me, it's better to join Konoha directly. With your strength, being a Jonin is more than enough."

Before Kimimaro could speak, Jiraiya immediately took over the conversation and said carelessly, also extending a semi-official olive branch.

"Hokage-sama has said so, so there is no problem."

Uzumaki Naruto was also in a good mood, playing drums on the side.

"Come back with us, start over in Konoha."

Sasuke put his hand on Kimimaro's shoulder and said sincerely.

"I have to start over too."

After a pause, Sasuke added.

He originally wanted to say something more, such as "let Corpse Vein become famous again in the ninja world" and "find the meaning of life together".

But when the words came to his lips, they eventually turned into such simple words.

Faced with Uchiha Sasuke's sincere invitation, Kimimaro did not refuse and nodded silently.

Later, under Jiraiya's arrangement and taking Kimimaro's personal wishes into consideration, he found a place to live alone in a secluded place in Konoha Hidden Village.

The next day, in Konoha Hidden Village, there was an open space in front of Gan Rigan's shop.

After Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto got up, they left the Hokage's house and walked together.

Unconsciously, he walked to the open space and bumped into Team 8 and the others where Inuzuka Kiba was.

"Wang Wang-"

The first person to spot Sasuke and the two was Akamaru, the white ninja dog above Inuzuka Kiba.

Hearing the reminder from his pet dog, Inuzuka Kiba looked in the direction of Sasuke and others.

Several people looked at each other, and Inuzuka Kiba jumped up, took three steps and two steps at a time, quickly came to the two of them, and circled around to look at them.

"What am I talking about? These two guys won't die so easily!"

"Naruto-kun, you are back."

Hinata Hinata also walked quickly to the two of them, her face flushed and she seemed to be extremely excited.

The fingers of both hands were poking at each other on the chest, looking like he was hesitating to speak.

"Waiting has its own meaning, and the unknown is the most painful. Happy New Year. Welcome back."

Shino Aburame coolly adjusted her sunglasses, put her hands in her pockets, and followed suit.

"What's going on with you? I heard you met a top-notch master?"

"By the way! I have to tell Shikamaru and the others this news quickly. He has refused to go out almost every day since returning from the Kingdom of Water. I have never seen him so depressed!"

"You just stay here, you are not allowed to go anywhere!"

Before Sasuke and the others could answer, Inuzuka Kiba jumped up eagerly and ran towards the Nara clan's mansion.

"Naruto-kun and the others said that you were captured by that terrible organization. I thought..."

"Anyway, it's great to have you back!"

Hinata Hinata was murmuring at the side, looking like she was crying with joy.

"Hahahaha, how could such an excellent ninja like me be defeated so easily by those little characters? I want to be the Hokage's man!"

Uzumaki Naruto was not aware of Hinata Hinata's worries at all, thinking that the other party was doubting his own strength, and then he just boasted about himself for the sake of manly face.

In the distance, Hyuga Neji and Tenten were walking around.

Since returning to Konoha from the Kingdom of Water, Neji has become much more depressed than before.

Once again, he returned to the way he had closed himself off in the first place, even more so than before.

On the first day of the new year, after Tiantian's various persuasion, Neci finally agreed to walk out of the house and accompany Tiantian for a walk on this happy avenue.

While the two were walking, they heard chatter and laughter coming from the door of Ganli Gandian.

I wanted to avoid it in advance, but suddenly I heard Uzumaki Naruto's voice.

Hinata Neji's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly started running, leaving Tenten beside him, and rushed towards the place where everyone was gathering.

Among the crowd, passing behind Naruto who was laughing proudly, Neji saw Sasuke's slightly disgusted face at a glance. When everyone heard the sound of footsteps, they all stopped talking and moving. When they turned their heads, they saw Ningji standing there, looking at Sasuke in a daze.

"Hi"

Before Sasuke could say hello with his first smile, Neji rushed up and punched Sasuke hard on the chest.

Unprepared, Sasuke was shocked and angry.

"What are you doing?! Why are you so crazy?"

Just as Sasuke was about to lose his temper, he raised his head and bumped into the red eyes of Hinata Neji opposite him.

"Lizi can do things like charge into battle and sacrifice one's life, but can't he also do face-saving things?!"

"Do you remember what you promised me?!"

Hinata Neji tried his best to suppress his emotions and asked.

Sasuke didn't know how to answer for a moment, and everyone looked at each other in shock at this sudden scene.

"What kind of noodles? Ramen? So, do you really owe Neji a lot of money?"

Naruto Uzumaki looked at Neji, then at Sasuke, and finally asked what he thought was the most likely reason.

"I'm sorry, he's just too worried about you these days."

Tiantian finally caught up and greeted everyone breathlessly, relaxing the atmosphere.

"Sasuke!!!"

A delicate cry was heard, and in the next second, a purple figure flew towards Sasuke and hugged him tightly.

"You're finally back, and I'm worried to death!"

Yamanaka Ino said while crying on Sasuke's neck.

Previously, as a member of Konoha's diplomatic corps, he personally experienced Sasuke's disappearance.

Ino's feelings are somewhat different from those of her companions in other villages.

Sasuke was also a little overwhelmed by this sudden hug.

"Did I say that? If you ask Shino if I said that, I just said that they will suddenly appear in the village one day, and they will scare us if they are not safe! That's what I said."

On the side, Inuzuka Kiba, who had just run away, came back again, proudly boasting to everyone, as if Sasuke and others' return home also had a share of his contribution.

While Sasuke was being thrown into a panic by Ino, he suddenly saw Choji Akimichi walking over from a distance accompanied by Shikamaru Nara.

He quickly took the opportunity to push Ino away, wanting to say hello properly to Shikamaru.

From Sasuke's point of view, the first half of the mission in the Kingdom of Water was completed by himself, Shikamaru and Kimimaro.

Among them, Shikamaru is also a chuunin of Konoha like himself, with exactly the same position and responsibilities.

Moreover, when he decided to help Terumi Mei after failing to figure out the information, Shikamaru also gave key support.

After experiencing life and death battles together, Sasuke felt that the friendship between him and Shikamaru was no longer as simple as that of his classmates when they left the village.

"Shikamaru! You're here!"

In order to keep Ino away from him more naturally, Sasuke and Shikamaru's greetings seemed more deliberate and enthusiastic.

"Did Goju Yagura recover later? Was he sealed in the end? Or was he killed?"

Sasuke was so familiar that he exchanged pleasantries.

After being sucked into the Kamui space, Sasuke had no idea what happened next.

Although, on the way back last night, I heard Naruto briefly describe it.

But Naruto couldn't translate the specific details very clearly. After all, his entire focus at that time was only on the disappearance of Sasuke.

"Ah, after the illusion was lifted, he died on his own."

Nara Shikamaru stood far away and answered awkwardly.

"Oh."

Sasuke didn't know how to respond for a moment, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

"Well, it's really great that you can come back."

As if Nara Shikamaru remembered something, he raised his head again and added.

"Ah, yes."

Sasuke echoed.

Everyone looked at the two of them quietly.

When faced with an unacceptable outcome, human beings will always instinctively want to find a scapegoat to blame.

Although, sometimes people know very well that this matter is not the fault of that person at all, or it is not something that this person can bear alone.

But the appearance and existence of the scapegoat can make everyone's pain less painful.

By blaming and complaining, people can find a small outlet for the grief and unwillingness accumulated in their hearts.

In the case of Uchiha Sasuke's disappearance, Nara Shikamaru, as the leader of the same team, naturally became the best candidate for the "scapegoat".

"I'm sorry, Sasuke, I shouldn't have let you do the final attack."

After a moment of silence, Nara Shikamaru finally said this.

After hearing that Sasuke was back, the first thing he suspected was that he might be dreaming again.

And this apology, Shikamaru had said to Sasuke countless times in his dream.

But unlike the dream, in reality, Uchiha Sasuke's reaction to this apology seemed very shocked:

"What does it have to do with the last attack? That person was obviously coming for me.

"Because he is also a member of my Uchiha clan!"

"!"

Apart from Sasuke and his brother, are there anyone else in the Uchiha clan?

Everyone was shocked by these words.

On the other side, after hearing these words, the big stone that Nara Shikamaru had been holding in his heart for a long time was finally lifted.

Before that, even if he had a sense of companionship towards Sasuke, he was so weighed down by the heavy responsibility that he didn't dare to show up.

Caring is a state of mind that only companions can have, and as the first responsible person, he only deserves to feel the guilt and guilt.

At this moment, Shikamaru, who felt a little more relaxed, finally asked:

"Then, where did he catch you? You must have suffered a lot, right?"

"Oh, indeed. But he also told me a lot of important things. Looking back, it may not have been all bad."

Sasuke thought about those days when he was hungry.

On the other side, I couldn't help but think of that forum netizen's statement about "crisis, crisis, and opportunity hidden in danger."

"Eh? Speaking of which, where did Sakura and Big Eyebrow go? Why didn't you see them?"

Everyone was having fun again, and Uzumaki Naruto suddenly discovered a blind spot and asked loudly.

Everyone suddenly became quiet, you look at me, I look at you.

Finally, Tiantian stood up and hesitated:

"Then what, maybe the two of them,"

"Maybe I'll go to your graves."

"It's okay to build a tombstone for Sasuke. I've only disappeared for a few days? Are you not even prepared to save me?!!"

Uzumaki Naruto was furious.

"The village also thought it would be more convenient to do it all at once."

Inuzuka Kiba comforted him from the side.

"Is it as convenient as you guys?!!"

Uzumaki Naruto refused to give up.

So what, what does it mean to just erect a monument for me?

Sasuke raised his hand and hesitated several times, but in the end he still didn't say anything.

Later, Sasuke and Naruto went to visit Haruno Sakura and Xiao Li.

After seeing the two returning, Haruno Sakura was naturally excited.

Afterwards, a few people chatted and learned that Rock Li had perfectly inherited the passionate youth of his teacher Metkai.

He worked extremely hard during the completion of the task. At this moment, the number of tasks completed is far ahead of his peers.

And because Xiao Li's fighting style is relatively easy to get injured, he got very close to Haruno Sakura, who was studying in the medical department.

In this regard, Uzumaki Naruto showed extremely serious vigilance.

But Sasuke felt that this was a beautiful thing.

Later, Sasuke and Sasuke wanted to visit Mr. Kakashi again, but they learned that the latter was on a mission and was not in the village.

At the same time, I accidentally learned that the wedding of Sister Shizune and Gangzi Tie was coming.

I can't help but sigh with emotion. Although I haven't been out for a long time, many changes have still taken place in the village.

After the happy day ended, Sasuke and Naruto walked side by side, heading back to the Hokage's home under the moonlight.

On the way, a group of crows gradually gathered and stopped in front of the two of them.
