Chapter 240 I'm Coming to See You
Chapter 240 I'm Coming to See You
With the cooperation of Kakashi himself, I guided him to find Sakura's consciousness.
Her consciousness was overwhelmed by Kakashi's and trapped in a corner, without receiving any additional shocks, and remained intact and undamaged.
"From now on, you don't have to worry about me controlling other people's consciousness." Standing at the exit of consciousness, I smiled to Kakashi and said, "From now on, I'm afraid it's others who are afraid of being controlled by you. Are you happy?"
Kakashi had a complicated expression: "You Uchiha... I always feel like you are the type of people who keep quiet and then suddenly do something big."
"Is there anything you are dissatisfied with?"
"No." He said in surrender: "That's it."
"That's good," I turned away from his conscious world and said, "Let's go."
……
I opened my eyes, propped myself up, and first looked at Kakashi and Sakura who were lying beside me. Seeing their eyelids trembling, I knew they would soon wake up, so I looked around for any trace of Itachi.
He was standing not far from me, looking at me.
I asked him using sign language: "How much time has passed?"
"Less than three minutes." Itachi-sensei replied to me in sign language: "No one is here to disturb me."
"Are the people of Konoha still fighting Orochimaru?"
As soon as I asked, I heard the rustling sound of clothes rubbing against each other beside me.
Kakashi and Sakura covered their heads and sat up from the ground one after another.
I stood up and distanced myself from them. Sakura's first reaction was to endure her own discomfort and ask her companions with concern: "Teacher Kakashi! Are you okay?"
Although Kakashi's face was still a little pale, he smiled at her reassuringly: "I'm fine... Sorry, Sakura, I attacked you unintentionally... Are you okay?"
"I...I..." Sakura's cheeks flushed slightly as she remembered something, "Hehe, it feels like a good dream."
Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief: "I don't know what you dreamed about...but I'm glad you're okay."
Just then, I heard Naruto's voice from afar: "Asaka! Kakashi-sensei! Sakura!"
He and Neji arrived first almost at the same time, followed by everyone from Konoha, Kirigakure and Sand Village.
Haku, Gaara, and Neji quickly approached me.
Neji stared at Kakashi and Sakura, and asked warily, "Is everything going well, Asaka?"
"Yeah." I nodded, "How about you guys? How's Orochimaru?"
Bai Dao: "He ran away."
But with Neji's Byakugan, there's nothing to worry about if we temporarily lose track of Orochimaru. Letting him go back is a good opportunity for him to tell us where his base is.
Naruto said happily: "We will catch up later! I didn't expect to find Sasuke here, this is great!"
I was slightly startled.
Meeting Orochimaru and Sasuke was not in our plan, and I didn't need to meet Sasuke because I had already obtained his power.
Itachi-sensei is here too, what if they meet?
I know that sooner or later they will meet again, but selfishly I hope that day will come as late as possible.
Sasuke really wants to kill him now, and Itachi-sensei...will never treat him with true tenderness.
Sasuke would always be hurt more seriously by him.
I couldn't figure out what to do for a moment, and silently watched Sakura help Kakashi stand up. Once again, I felt that he was really...
I crossed out the word "delicate" that suddenly popped into my mind and changed it to "fragile".
Just as I was lost in thought, Kakashi said in a somewhat awkward tone: "Asaro..."
I came back to my senses and looked at him.
Instead, he lowered his eyes and didn't look at me. He asked awkwardly, "Is the tempura from the Hidden Mist Village... delicious?"
I was slightly stunned: "Not bad."
"Is it better than Konoha's?"
I smiled and said, "Each has its own flavor."
...Although I think the tempura at Konoha is better, I can't admit in front of everyone that Konoha is better than Kirigakure.
But he started it, and I could say the rest smoothly: "My eyes won't have any effect on your vision. But the burden on chakra... maybe it can't be reduced much."
Speaking of chakra, I can't help but think of Naruto again - maybe it would be better if I gave my eyes to Naruto?
But Naruto is not suitable for using the Sharingan, and my eye technique is completely incompatible with his fighting style.
Kakashi subconsciously wanted to touch his left eye, but considering that he had just undergone surgery there, his fingers stopped in mid-air.
"It doesn't matter... I'm used to having my chakra drained by the Sharingan anyway. It's just a new eye technique, so I may need to get used to it."
"It's no problem! Kakashi is a genius!"
"You're both a genius and you don't use honorifics... It feels like a mockery, Chaolu."
"Then...does what we agreed on before still count?"
"Don't worry, I've already promised you."
Shikamaru looked at me, then at Kakashi: "What counts?"
Just like I can't admit that I think the tempura in Konoha is better than that in the Hidden Mist Village, Kakashi obviously can't say in front of everyone that he will give me three years' salary to support the Hidden Mist Village in changing the world.
"Asaro and I agreed to help each other master new eye techniques." Kakashi said with an expression that would not even blink even if he lied: "We agreed to exchange information about each other's Sharingan."
If I say that we will arrange a time to meet up later, it will seem suspicious and if someone reports it to the Hokage, it may be denied.
But if it's about exchanging information, it seems very legitimate, and the Hokage has no reason to disagree.
Is this the speaking skill and workplace communication experience?
As expected of an older ninja with much more experience than me!
It seems that there are still some things worth learning from him.
I nodded: "That's right."
Shikamaru looked at Kakashi, then at Teacher Gai, probably to confirm whether they should take back the command of the team. But neither teacher seemed to have this intention.
Shikamaru had no choice but to continue: "...Asaro, Orochimaru is a wanted criminal in Konoha who has committed serious crimes. Now that we have found his whereabouts, we can't just sit back and watch. Can you please lend us Neji?"
Neji's Byakugan is indeed an irreplaceable power when tracking.
However, I thought Shikamaru would ask for our help, but he didn't say that, which made me feel relieved.
Because I don’t know whether I should refuse or accept.
There are reasons for accepting and rejecting, and no matter what I choose, I feel I will regret it.
Suddenly I felt a familiar chakra fluctuation. It was Itachi's eye technique being activated.
We have spent quite a bit of time together, and in order to avoid Uchiha Madara's mysterious surveillance, we have gotten used to communicating in the spiritual world, so we are very familiar with and sensitive to each other's eye chakra.
——Is he trying to control me with illusion?
I don't know why, but I believe him.
I didn't resist and let Itachi-sensei control me and said, "The Hidden Mist Village will fight."
I:……?
Shikamaru was stunned: "Are you sure? Chaolu? You are now..."
He glanced at my blindfolded eyes and asked, "Are you fit to fight now?"
"Itachi Uchiha was finally captured," "I" said, "Sasuke will definitely... want to see him."
"I" looked at Uchiha Itachi who was not far away, "This is a gift I prepared for him. He will like it."
Tiantian couldn't help but complain: "You really prepared gifts for everyone. Does Xiao Li have any?"
Itachi-sensei's chakra receded.
In short, he had made his meaning known - he wanted to see Sasuke.
I looked at Xiao Li and smiled, "Although I haven't met Senior Xiao Li very often, his spirit has always inspired me."
"Huh?" Xiao Li's eyes widened. "Really? I thought Chaolu had definitely forgotten me!"
"No way. I always remember that when Senior Xiao Li sets his sights on a goal, he will go all out. When he feels something, he will speak it out. Although I can't be that pure, when I'm confused, I will think of Senior Xiao Li's courageous attitude and think that he is a role model I should learn from. In particular, if you like someone, you must say it out loud, and let the other person know that you have made someone's heart beat fast. This will make the world a better place!"
"That's right, that's right!!!" Xiao Li said happily: "This is how brilliant youth is born!!"
Tiantian: "...Wait a minute, isn't that just a random confession? Xiao Li has many other good qualities, don't just learn those weird ones!"
"Let me confirm again," Shikamaru interrupted, "Asakaru, you mean that you will lead everyone in the Hidden Mist Village to help us hunt down the traitorous ninja Orochimaru and... Uchiha Sasuke, right?"
"……Yes."
Shikamaru looked at Kankuro and Granny Chiyo again: "Where are the people from the Sand Village?"
Granny Chiyo said, "If we conquer Orochimaru's base, we in the Sand Village will want a copy of his research data."
"Then let's go now." Shikamaru said, "Orochimaru must be preparing to move now. If we go too late, all the information may have been destroyed."
"Kakashi...are you going too?" I looked at his weak appearance and said, "You are the one who is least fit to fight right now."
Kakashi said helplessly: "Ah, I was underestimated."
"No," Shino said, "Asaro is worried about you, so she means she cares."
Kakashi was slightly stunned: "Oh, is that so? I'm really flattered."
I:"……"
I looked at Neji: "Can you find the location?"
Ningji frowned, glanced at Shino and Kakashi unhappily, and said, "Hmm," "Follow me."
Shino said, "I mean, I was too direct, so I feel embarrassed."
I couldn't help but say, "Shino!"
"Yeah." He walked past me and went to catch up with Neji. As he passed me, he tilted his head and whispered to me, "This is because you are angry with me, so you finally noticed me."
Shikamaru followed, "I'll teach him a lesson and make him talk properly."
Gaara stood beside me, glaring at their backs with displeasure.
Now the formation has changed to Neji in the lead, followed by the Konoha people, the two from the Sand Village following on the left, and the Mist Village led by Shiro, one step behind on the right.
I said I wanted to check on Uchiha Itachi's situation, so I was able to stay behind with him.
We devote most of our attention to hurrying on the road and observing our surroundings, and use a small amount of energy to communicate in the spiritual world.
I asked worriedly, "Are you planning on doing anything to Sasuke?"
"I just think he'd be upset if he knew you were around here and you wouldn't go see him."
"…The reason why I don't dare to meet him is because of you."
"Don't worry, after seeing what will happen in the future, I won't provoke him anymore. I was wrong... I thought hatred would make him stronger faster, because I was worried that he wouldn't be able to protect himself if I wasn't by his side. But I think that even without provoking him like that, Sasuke is good enough to go this far." Teacher Itachi said in a calm manner.
"But even if you don't do anything to provoke him, as long as he sees you, he will..."
"There's nothing wrong with just letting me fight him. You should also want to confirm how strong Sasuke is now. Has he changed? How much has he changed? What is his personality like now? On this point, we are still on the same side. Asaro."
"…Can your body hold up?"
"If you don't try now, your physical condition will only get worse in the future." Teacher Itachi said: "Also, from your memory, Sasuke must have known the reason for the extermination of the clan... It seems that my attempt to stop him didn't work. It can only be that Uchiha Madara found him."
"Uchiha Madara..."
"Chaolu, if I die, I'll leave my eyes to you. They must not fall into the hands of others."
"Are you going to say something like this now?"
"It's better to arrange it early than to do it at the last minute." Itachi said, "I'm sorry, Orochimaru and Shikamaru asked you to come to me, probably hoping that you wouldn't have to fight alone, but I can only accompany you for a part of the way. Although this may not be fair to you, but Asaka... I still want to leave Sasuke to you."
"I wouldn't have left him alone."
"Become his new family. I believe that if he ever said this to you, as long as you stay by his side, he will never become the person you fear in your memory."
"..."
"and……"
"and?"
"I am very grateful to Orochimaru and Shikamaru for letting you come to me. Because apart from you, I have no one else I can trust. Without you, even if I wanted to arrange my funeral, I probably wouldn't be able to do it."
"…The more you say it, the more it sounds like a last will, Itachi-sensei!"
"If Shikamaru could see you now, he would be proud of you. 'This world is already so difficult, let's not create more suffering artificially', you must have remembered his words well, that's why you try so hard to heal the pain of others. So far, you have done a good job, Asaro."
"If you keep talking like this, I may not be able to listen to you and let you die. I will tie you up and take you back to the Hidden Mist Village to recuperate. I will tell everyone that I have captured you and imprisoned you in the secret prison of the Insect Nest to torture you for information about Konoha and the Akatsuki organization."
Itachi-sensei was about to reply when Neji suddenly shouted, "Shit!"
A flash of lightning suddenly rushed between Itachi-sensei and me at lightning speed, and we quickly jumped to the sides to avoid it.
I was familiar with that light because I often used it to thrust at high speed - it was Raikiri.
Neji hurriedly turned back from the front. His Byakugan saw Raikiri's charge, but he was unable to issue a warning before the other party rushed over.
And among the dazzling arcs of white and blue light, a tall and graceful figure stood.
The lightning danced, making his already fair skin look as white as porcelain and jade. When the blue light shone on his face, he looked like a bewitching demon, and when the white light appeared, he looked like a majestic god.
The young man turned his head and looked at me. With black hair, white skin and a white robe, he looked as spotless as a crane.
My heart was throbbing so much that I almost felt a pain -
"Sasuke..."
His appearance and cold expression are becoming more and more like the future Uchiha Sasuke.
But when Sasuke spoke, his tone was still the same as when he was a child: "I heard you were here, so I came to see you, Asaro."
