Chapter 307: Chapter 307

"Oh, my, who would have thought I'd end up with a necklace just like my wife's here?" Yōichi chuckled, looking at the two identical necklaces in his hand. "I can return one to her when I get back; it's a precious item, one she wore for a long time before giving it to me."

"Damn it! Let's go again—I'm winning that necklace back!" Tsunade growled, rolling up her sleeves, determined to reclaim her grandfather's necklace.

The moment she bet the necklace, she had regretted it. Losing money in gambling was one thing, but this necklace wasn't just cursed; it was all she had left of her memories.

"Do you still have anything left to bet?" Yōichi glanced at the now-empty space before Tsunade. She had nothing left, not even the box that once held their money, which he had already won.

Shizune whispered nervously, "Tsunade-sama, what now? We even lost that necklace; this is really bad…"

"Stop talking, Shizune!" Tsunade snapped, then turned to Yōichi, unwilling to give up. "Hey, what's your name? Let's gamble again tomorrow. I'll find something to bet and wager my necklace against yours."

"It's my necklace now," Yōichi replied, pocketing both necklaces and hanging them around his neck. "Call me Yōichi. For now… how about some food? If you're hungry, you're welcome to join me."

"Really?" Shizune asked, her face lighting up. She had been wondering where they would eat tonight, and if it solved their lodging problem too, even better!

"Shizune, have some dignity!" Tsunade scolded, irritated.

"My dignity was gambled away by you, Tsunade-sama…" Shizune muttered, clutching Tonton to her chest.

"What did you say?" Tsunade glared, and Shizune went silent, holding Tonton protectively.

"If you're joining, follow me," Yōichi said, taking the money he'd won that night and heading out.

Tsunade and Shizune exchanged glances, and finally, biting her lip in frustration, Tsunade followed. It wasn't just about the meal—she wanted her necklace back.

The three of them arrived at a quiet corner in a local izakaya, where they ordered some sake and snacks.

Tsunade, feeling bitter, poured herself a drink as Yōichi handed her a bottle of sake.

After a while, Tsunade, somewhat tipsy but resolute, muttered, "…Tomorrow. I'll win the necklace back tomorrow."

"That necklace is really important to you, isn't it?"

"Of course. It's not just important; this necklace…" Shizune almost mentioned the curse but stopped, not wanting to reopen old wounds. "…It's very valuable. Incredibly valuable."

After a pause, Tsunade admitted, "It's from someone precious to me, which is why I have to get it back."

"A keepsake, then? Why not look for this person you cherish so much?"

"They've passed away," she said softly.

"I see…"

Yōichi nodded, then asked, "You're both shinobi, right? I've heard ninjutsu can be quite extraordinary. Is there no jutsu to bring someone back to life?"

"You…" Tsunade narrowed her eyes, her tone guarded. "You must not be an ordinary person. What's your goal?"

"No, no, you've misunderstood. I may not be ordinary, but I'm certainly not your enemy. I'm speaking with you only because of that necklace."

Yōichi waved his hand dismissively. "I'm an onmyōji. Perhaps you haven't heard of us, but onmyōji have been around much longer than shinobi."

Tsunade's eyebrows lifted in surprise. "An onmyōji? And that would be…?"

Onmyōji had disappeared after Kaguya consumed the chakra fruit. It wasn't surprising that Tsunade knew little about them; there probably weren't many in the shinobi world who did.

"Masters of heaven and earth, who connect yin and yang—that's what an onmyōji is. We possess many abilities. Although we may lack in battle compared to shinobi, in other matters, we far surpass shinobi," Yōichi explained with a grin.

Tsunade snorted, setting her cup down forcefully. "Do you think I'll believe that?"

"Well, I was hoping to show you my abilities. How about this: if I could revive someone you most wish to see, who would it be?" Yōichi asked with a sage-like expression, holding up the necklace. "I can feel it—this necklace bears the essence of two memories. But I can only bring one back. Who would you choose?"

"What nonsense are you talking about…"

Tsunade's shocked expression softened as she looked at him, realizing he wasn't joking. Her suspicion rose. "What's your real goal? Why seek me out?"

"It's wise for older women to be cautious, but you're a bit too on edge. Let me choose for you," Yōichi chuckled, then pressed his finger against Tsunade's forehead, and her eyes grew heavy as she slowly drifted off.

"Tsunade-sama, are you…?"

"Sleep," Yōichi murmured, sending Shizune into a mental stupor as she too fell unconscious.

Only Tonton remained, and sensing Yōichi's gaze, the pig trembled and promptly lay down, pretending to sleep.

"Hah, wasting so many years in despair. You should become a savior instead!" Yōichi muttered, stepping out of the izakaya. Ever since learning onmyōjutsu, he hadn't had the chance to use it. In his timeline, the Pure Land was guarded by Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, so he wouldn't wander onto his territory lightly.

But here, it was different. The Great Toad and Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo knew nothing of him, allowing Yōichi to experiment freely with onmyōjutsu.

As for Dan and Nawaki, Yōichi only intended to resurrect the latter. Although this Tsunade wasn't his wife, she was identical in every way. He wasn't feeling overly generous.

"Gate of the Pure Land—By the Decree of Command!"

With his onmyōjutsu, a 20-meter-wide formation appeared beneath his feet. Shadows formed within the array, though Yōichi didn't recognize most of them.

Then he held up Tsunade's necklace from this timeline, casting another spell. The shadows dwindled until only five figures remained.

Senju Hashirama, Nawaki, Uzumaki Mito, and, judging by appearance, Tsunade's parents. It seemed the necklace had passed through all their hands.

Next, Yōichi retrieved a White Zetsu body, using Yin-Yang Release to reshape it into Nawaki's likeness. With a final spell, he drew Nawaki's soul from the Pure Land and placed it into the body he'd prepared.

Once enough life energy was infused, Nawaki was fully resurrected within minutes.

"Sis? Sis, are you okay?"

When Tsunade began to awaken, she heard Nawaki's voice. Slowly opening her eyes, she saw Nawaki standing beside her, looking concerned.

"Nawaki?"

As she came to her senses, she looked around, seeing Shizune slumped on the table beside her and Tonton snorting softly, relieved she wasn't imagining things.

Noticing her bewilderment, Nawaki asked, "Sis, are you alright?"

"Is this a transformation jutsu? Using that face to deceive me… Do you have a death wish?" Tsunade growled, grabbing Nawaki by the collar, ready to throw a punch.

Nawaki, who knew his sister's strength, quickly shielded his face in fear. "Sis, it's really me! Remember two months ago, you made onion beef stew but bought pork instead, then burned it, and forced me to eat it until I had to go to the hospital for an IV?"

Hearing him recall this, Tsunade froze. For Nawaki, it had been two months, but for her, it was a memory from twenty years ago.

"N-Nawaki… Is it really you?" Tsunade's disbelief faded as she squeezed his face, trying various techniques to dispel any illusion. When she realized he was real, tears filled her eyes, and she hugged him tightly.

Nawaki smiled, "Sis, I'm back."

After calming down, Tsunade asked, "How… How did you come back to life? You should have…"

"Yes, I remember my death very clearly. As for how I came back, it was a stranger who revived me. He said he won your necklace and wanted to compensate. He called himself Yōichi."

Nawaki recounted everything, from his resurrection to the overwhelming feeling of power in his new form, with more chakra, strength, and stamina than before.

"Yōichi… That guy…" Tsunade muttered, then noticed a flood of information in her mind.

A training method, an improved body-strengthening jutsu based on her super strength, and warnings about the untrustworthy Great Toad—how the Great Toad, after betraying the onmyōji, was slowly influencing the shinobi world.

"What's he doing, stuffing so much into my head…" she mumbled, shocked by the information coursing through her mind.

Nawaki, noticing her discomfort, asked, "Sis, are you alright?"

"I'm fine…" Tsunade reassured him, surprised by the magnitude of the techniques Yōichi had imparted, including a Taijutsu far superior to her own super strength.

"Who is this Yōichi, really? An onmyōji?" she wondered, confused by his kindness toward her. Was it purely due to his hatred for the Great Toads? Or was it because she and Jiraiya were close?

Resurrecting Nawaki and granting her so many gifts left Tsunade feeling overwhelmed. She vaguely remembered a remark before she fell asleep, something about her wasting away…

"Shizune, wake up," Tsunade called, nudging Shizune, who woke up dazed, mumbling, "Good morning, Tsunade-sama…"

"Morning? You're still half-asleep. Pack up—we're heading back to Konoha!"

That was her decision, made in that moment. With Nawaki alive and so many valuable gifts, she couldn't continue wallowing. Nawaki needed to return to the village, and Konoha's strength would be essential for finding Yōichi.

And about the Great Toad… the information in her mind made her suspicious. Why would Mount Myōboku know about the Child of Prophecy? And if found, would they insist the child study under them?

Back in Konoha, she'd also consult with the Slug Sage regarding onmyōji.

"…Seems like the Uchiha in this timeline are on the verge of revolution," Itachi noted, piecing together information he'd gathered, even using genjutsu on a member of the Police Force.

He couldn't help but feel a strange respect for his father. In his world, he'd defected from the village, while here, his father was leading a revolution—a troublesome parent in both timelines.

Itachi also learned that the Nine-Tails' rampage eight years prior had been controlled by someone wielding a Sharingan, leading to suspicion and hostility against the Uchiha clan. After years of enduring this treatment, the clan had finally decided to rise up.

"What idiots. Without Father, the Uchiha are like headless beasts…"

Yesterday, Itachi had confirmed Yōichi's existence within the clan's history. Once hailed as a prodigy, Yōichi had reportedly died before the Third Shinobi War.

After further inquiries among the clan's elders, Itachi found more about Yōichi's past.

Covered in a haze of crows, Itachi wandered through the Uchiha district, unsure where to begin in resolving this turmoil.

"If only Father were here…"

Itachi thought of Yōichi again. If he were around, he'd certainly quell the conflict. However, Yōichi had been missing for two days and only appeared when danger loomed.

"Hm? Where's 'myself' headed?" Itachi noticed the other Itachi sneaking around without any Anbu duties. Curious, he followed, hidden in his crow fog, undetectable to most.

Chapter 308: Chapter 308

"Come out."

Uchiha Itachi spoke aloud, standing in an isolated forest.

The Itachi who had been following him felt a moment of panic, almost wanting to turn and leave.

'Wait, even Shisui couldn't see through the Crow Illusion Mist. Father said only those with strong mental power can detect it…'

He quickly realized that his counterpart in this timeline shouldn't be able to pierce through his Crow Illusion Mist.

Suddenly, the space before Uchiha Itachi distorted, and a man with long hair wearing a mask stepped out.

Recognizing the spatial distortion, Itachi immediately realized it was Kamui, his father's clone ability. This person had to be Uchiha Obito!

"Tonight's the night. I trust you'll uphold your end of the deal," Uchiha Itachi said.

"Of course. I'll lend you a hand," Obito replied.

Uchiha Itachi looked around, then turned to leave, but before doing so, he added, "Act as planned. I'll leave the Police Force to you."

"No problem. Eliminating the Uchiha clan serves my purposes beyond revenge. You'll be able to watch it all with your Sharingan."

Obito continued, "But remember our deal. After the Uchiha clan is eliminated, you'll join my organization and work for us."

"I understand."

After a few more words, Obito left using his space-time jutsu.

The eavesdropping Itachi was stunned, shocked to hear that his alternate self would ally with an outsider to annihilate the Uchiha clan.

Once Obito left, Itachi followed his other self as he walked out of the forest, letting the Crow Illusion Mist dissipate.

"Who's there?"

Noticing chakra behind him, Uchiha Itachi instinctively threw a kunai. Turning, he saw his kunai caught by another person.

"So it's you. Looks like you're no ordinary person—first asking about the Uchiha, and now following me. What are you planning?"

Uchiha Itachi said coldly, his Sharingan activating with three tomoe, locking onto the other Itachi.

"The shadow clone trick you used to deceive Sasuke… that was you, wasn't it? Gathering all this information from him… I can only assume you intend to harm Konoha!" Itachi replied, his voice growing intense.

"If I'm a threat to Konoha, why are you conspiring with an outsider to slaughter the Uchiha clan? I heard your entire conversation. You plan to take out the Police Force and massacre the rest of the clan. Why would you turn against your own people?"

Itachi's tone grew harsher, unable to believe that his alternate self could plan to kill not only the clan's adults but even the elderly, women, and children.

"Explain yourself… you!" Uchiha Itachi started, about to subdue the man in front of him. But then he saw the other person's appearance change, becoming identical to his own.

And not only his appearance—this person's eyes also transformed into the Sharingan with three tomoe.

"A Sharingan? Who are you?" Uchiha Itachi demanded.

"I am Uchiha Itachi. Whether you believe me or not, Father said my choices are my own. I only planned to learn this world's history, but with this at stake, even if the clan here is corrupt, I can't ignore it."

With that, Itachi extended his hand, and a dense black mist appeared, which he crushed in his palm.

The mist spread so quickly that Uchiha Itachi had no time to react before it engulfed him.

When Uchiha Itachi raised his arm, he found himself in a different world—a desolate landscape under a blood-red sun and moon. The once dense forest had transformed into barren, withered cliffs.

Caw! Caw!

In the distance, he could hear the cries of crows, sounding ominous in his ears.

"Space-time jutsu? No, this is genjutsu…"

Calming himself, Uchiha Itachi analyzed the situation, then activated his Mangekyō Sharingan, using his enhanced ocular power to dispel the genjutsu.

But as he did so, darkness overtook him, and he fell unconscious.

In the forest, Itachi looked down at his alternate self, unconscious, and shook his head.

"So, I opened the Mangekyō Sharingan in this world… Shisui's death must be involved," he thought, recalling Yōichi's teaching that unlocking the Mangekyō required intense emotional turmoil to generate a unique chakra for the evolution.

For him, though, that kind of emotional shift was difficult to attain, and the Mangekyō wasn't as strong as his Hell Crow ability.

"Best to stay calm," Itachi murmured, removing his counterpart's Konoha forehead protector and placing it on his own head. Then, using a rope, he bound his other self.

After ensnaring him in the Hell Mist, he had extracted some of his counterpart's memories, learning more about the situation.

But now, another problem weighed on Itachi's mind. Stopping Obito and his alternate self from destroying the clan would be easy enough, but what next? The memories he gathered revealed a deep rift between the Uchiha and the village—a headache indeed.

"What's this? Fighting yourself, Itachi?"

A familiar voice came from behind him, and Itachi turned, delighted. "Father, you're back!"

Yōichi glanced at the unconscious Uchiha Itachi. "Hm. I was out for a bit, and it looks like you couldn't resist taking action. So, what's your plan?"

"I'm not sure. I haven't spoken much with… this world's me, but he seems… obsessed. If Shisui-senpai were here, things might be different."

"You want to use Kotoamatsukami to change his perspective?"

"It's not just that. Shisui-senpai was his shelter from the storm. Without him, he doesn't know how to protect both the village and the Uchiha's reputation, so he's chosen this extreme route." Itachi paused, then added bitterly, "And the village elders are no help. This fool knows Danzo took Shisui's eye, but he did nothing to stop him… Summoning Jutsu!"

He summoned a crow implanted with Kotoamatsukami. Surprised, he said, "Father, I was able to summon it. I thought it would fail…"

"It worked because your chakra is similar enough. After all, you're still Uchiha Itachi."

Yōichi continued, "If you want to solve this, go to Konoha's entrance and wait for an unexpected visitor. You'll know what to do when you see her."

"A visitor? Father, who is it?"

"You'll know when you see her. If she hesitates, just say it's a favor from Yōichi."

"…Understood!" Itachi nodded. Originally, he planned to confront Danzo and reclaim Shisui's eye, but for now, he would wait at the village gate. The massacre was scheduled for tonight; whoever his father mentioned should be arriving soon.

"I'll take my leave, Father," Itachi said, slinging the unconscious Uchiha Itachi onto his back and heading out.

"Phew, I made it back before nightfall," Tsunade muttered as she approached Konoha's gate. It had been so long since she returned that she almost lost her way.

She'd vowed never to return to this painful place, but with Nawaki revived, she couldn't leave him wandering outside the village. He had dreams to fulfill.

Nawaki looked at his sister, who, despite appearing youthful, was nearly fifty. "Sis, you've been through so much…"

"Nawaki…" Tsunade felt warmth in her heart, giving him a playful punch on the shoulder. "None of that sappy talk. You're going to go through my training, and I won't be easy on you!"

"Yes! I'll train twice as hard as you set for me!"

The three of them, plus Tonton, headed toward the village.

"Tsunade-sama?"

The two shinobi guarding the gate were visibly excited, one quickly saying, "Tsunade-sama, it's good to have you back! I'll go inform—"

"No need. I'll go see the old man myself," Tsunade said, stopping them.

But as they walked into the village, someone suddenly appeared before them.

"Tsunade-sama," Itachi greeted her, nearly slipping into a familiar nickname.

Tsunade raised an eyebrow, seeing the Uchiha fan symbol on his clothing. "Which Uchiha are you? Do you need something?"

"There's something important to discuss with you. It concerns the Uchiha clan and the village," Itachi replied.

"That sounds like a headache. Let's talk tomorrow—I just got back and need to settle in," Tsunade dismissed him, considering sending this Uchiha kid to the Hokage tomorrow.

"No, Tsunade-sama, this must be discussed now. Only you can handle it."

"Look, kid, can't you see we just got back?"

"It was Yōichi who said I could come to you."

"What?"

Tsunade had been about to refuse but froze at the mention of Yōichi, her expression changing. She quickly asked, "Did he look like…?"

"…Yes, that's him," Itachi confirmed, thinking to himself, I hope Father didn't do anything too extreme with her.

"Can you find him?" Tsunade asked eagerly.

Itachi stepped back. "Well… probably not. He appeared, said a few words, and left. I don't know where he went."

"Tch, that man is so mysterious…" Tsunade bit her lip, then turned to Itachi. "Fine. For his sake, I'll hear you out. What is it?"

"Not here," Itachi said, "Please come with me to a quieter place."

"Fine. Shizune, take Nawaki to the Senju compound and start tidying up," Tsunade instructed.

Once they reached a secluded spot, Tsunade asked, "Alright, kid, what's this about?"

"It starts with the Nine-Tails' rampage eight years ago," Itachi began, though he altered parts of the story to credit Yōichi for uncovering much of this information. He recounted Danzo's theft of Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan, the threats to "himself" to annihilate the Uchiha, and the clan's brewing rebellion.

"What a mess… I get back, and it's already this bad…" Tsunade massaged her temples, wondering if her position of power might be able to restrain the Hokage, but the rift with the Uchiha clan…

"I'll handle the Uchiha side, but there are two people I can't let go unpunished, Tsunade-sama," Itachi said.

Tsunade narrowed her eyes. "You mean the masked Uchiha who controlled the Nine-Tails and… Danzo?"

Itachi nodded. "He ambushed Shisui-senpai, took his Mangekyō Sharingan, and then used it to threaten 'me' into annihilating the Uchiha. That alone is reason enough not to let him go."

"But he's a high-ranking figure in Konoha," Tsunade sighed, blaming Yōichi for dragging her into such a mess.

"I'll deal with the masked Uchiha. As for the rest, I'll speak to the Hokage tomorrow. But know this: if you do this, even if the Uchiha are spared, you'll face trouble."

Itachi thought for a moment. "When the time comes, I'll leave with Father. As for this world's me… I'll help him adjust that obsessive personality. Tsunade-sama, after this, I'll become your permanent Anbu."

"My Anbu? Listen, kid, I'm not planning on becoming Hokage." But as she spoke, Tsunade realized that with Konoha's lack of leadership, she was likely the best candidate. Had there been a better choice, the village wouldn't have gone eight years without a Hokage.

Tsunade scratched her head, sighing. "Fine. Do you have information on this masked Uchiha?"

"I do. His main strength is space-time ninjutsu, a troublesome ability, but it has a weakness," Itachi replied, sharing the details he had learned about Obito's Kamui, which he'd encountered several times.
