Chapter 14 Sasuke tells his father to kill Itachi right now!
Konoha Genin Team Assignment Timeline —
Inside the classroom, 12-year-old genin Naruto stared intently at Minato Namikaze with his azure blue eyes. The others standing nearby noticed that Naruto and the Fourth Hokage had remarkably similar hair and eye colors.
"This..." Minato hesitated, wondering whether he should tell him the truth now.
But at this time, Naruto was only 12 years old, and there was also the 6-year-old Naruto from the timeline before the Uchiha clan massacre. They did not yet have the ability to protect themselves.
Minato was well aware of the deep-seated hatred he had incurred with ninjas from other villages during the Third Shinobi World War. Even if he only operated within Konoha, he couldn't completely avoid spies or invaders...
Naruto: "Fourth Hokage, you wouldn't actually be—"
Hearing that Naruto was about to guess his identity, Minato, who had been hesitating, simply stopped pretending. He believed that no matter what difficulties Naruto encountered, he could find a way to overcome them.
"Yes, Naruto, actually I..."
"Is he/she a good friend of my parents?!"
"……what?"
Naruto tripped and fell flat on his face during the Fourth Shinobi World War. Was he really that stupid as a child?! Although he himself had recently mistaken his mother for the Nine-Tails in human form and fooled himself.
While fighting the Ten-Tails' fake form, the Second Hokage took a moment to jump to Minato's side and remarked with a sidelong glance, "Aren't you two a little bit airheaded?"
Minato's lips trembled; he was caught between a yes and a no.
"Am I right?!" Naruto exclaimed. "Fourth Hokage, you must know my parents, right? What kind of people are they? Every time I ask the Third Hokage, he won't tell me!!"
Under Naruto's persistent questioning, Minato thought for a moment but decided not to tell him the truth directly.
"You'll know the truth when you need my help someday." Minato looked at 12-year-old Naruto. "But I can tell you that I... your father and mother love you very much, Naruto."
The ninjas in the genin placement classroom at the ninja academy clutched their chests.
They were startled; it turned out the Fourth Hokage only knew Naruto Uzumaki's parents.
Huh? Why is it "just"?
The ninjas couldn't explain why they had such thoughts.
"The Fourth Hokage... he really knew who my father and mother were..."
Naruto, a genin, muttered to himself.
Meanwhile, on the other side of another mirror wall, 6-year-old Naruto also heard these things.
He disregarded everything else and pressed himself against the mirror, demanding to know who his father and mother were and why everyone in the village hated him so much.
At this point, Naruto was unaware that he was the jinchūriki of the Nine-Tailed Fox, and that a giant monster that had destroyed Konoha twice and killed the Fourth Hokage was sealed within him.
Because he suddenly spoke, their mirror wall moved and now faces the mirror wall of the genin class!
Sasuke, a genin from the Konoha team division timeline, immediately spotted Fugaku Uchiha from the "Uchiha Clan Annihilation Timeline" and the other surviving Uchiha clan members!
In the 60th year of Konoha, inside the genin placement classroom—
"!!!!!" Sasuke shoved Naruto, who was hogging the mirror, away. "Father?!!"
"It's Sasuke." Unaware of the massacre of his clan, Fugaku was still able to greet his future son calmly.
Sasuke looked at his still-alive father in surprise, carefully considering the Fourth Hokage's previous explanation: someone had connected their different timelines!
In other words, the scene opposite is from many years ago when my father and his clansmen were still alive!
This was before the Uchiha clan was wiped out!
Sure enough! When the mirror shifted its perspective, he saw Itachi as a child next to his father!
Reason told Sasuke he should immediately report everything to his father in the other timeline! He needed his father to kill his brother now, thus preventing the Uchiha clan from being wiped out!! He needed to stop this tragedy!!
but……
Looking at my gentle older brother from my memories, protecting my younger self behind him...
Sasuke felt as if he were being pricked by needles. His reason told him to say what he wanted to say, but the words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter a single one!
[“Uchiha Sasuke, do you agree with the statement, ‘Uchiha Sasuke is incredibly unlucky to have a friend like Uzumaki Naruto!’”]
A unique voice appeared repeatedly in the world where Sasuke and Naruto were divided into genin teams!
At the same time, Sasuke, who was about to tell his father to kill Itachi, also received the same option as the other Sasukes.
But Sasuke doesn't care about what people say right now!
He must stop the Uchiha clan from being wiped out! He has to stop Itachi!!
"father--"
Sasuke had just uttered one word when the voice in his head interrupted him.
[“Uchiha Sasuke, do you agree with the statement, ‘Uchiha Sasuke is incredibly unlucky to have a friend like Uzumaki Naruto!’”]
[The red button on the option selector indicates agreement, and the blue button indicates disagreement.]
"—Please make your choice, Uchiha Sasuke."
[Please note that this poll is anonymous.]
"Itachi—!!"
"Uchiha Sasuke, do you deny...?"
"kill----!!"
"Excuse me, Uchiha..."
The voices that only appeared in his head kept interrupting him! They made him lose the ability to organize his thoughts and unable to successfully convey what he wanted to tell his father.
Do you agree that having a friend like Naruto is really unlucky?
Isn't that obvious?!
Uchiha Sasuke pressed the option button without hesitation.
At the same time, he could finally shout at the other mirror wall: "Kill the Uchiha immediately!"
Itachi: "???"
Looking at his brother across from him, who was completely unaware of the situation, Sasuke cried out in his heart:
Itachi! Kill Uchiha Itachi!
Shout it out! Shout it out now!! Tell Father to kill Itachi right now!!!
Sasuke repeatedly commanded himself in his mind.
But when Itachi's gentle eyes looked over...
Sasuke realized he had been utterly defeated, just like the night of the massacre of his clan years ago...
"..."
I really... can't do anything...
He talks about reviving the Uchiha clan! He talks about personally defeating Uchiha Itachi!! Yet he can't even bring himself to tell his father and the others to kill Itachi right now!!
Overwhelmed with self-loathing for his own weakness, Uchiha Sasuke pressed the selector!
【"bite!"】
"Konoha genin 'Uchiha Sasuke' has been selected."
["Please select the Naruto Bridge in the Land of Waves 1.0 'Uchiha Sasuke' option."]
The same unique voice appeared once again, meaning the next target was Naruto Bridge in the Land of Waves.
Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura, who were still in the process of being assigned to classes, had never been to the Land of Waves, let alone know if there was a bridge in the Land of Waves called Naruto.
Fourth Shinobi World War timeline—
A new, enormous mirror wall appeared on the battlefield. On its white surface, a chibi-style divine tree seemed to be waiting to successfully connect with the other side.
Beyond the mirror...
—This is the Land of Waves Bridge, the place where Naruto established his ninja way.
