Chương 52: 4th Hokage
"I've heard enough about Konoha's yellow lightning. Even if you can bring the dead back to life, is it worth it? "
"Quite right. I can resurrect since Minato himself set the conditions for his return. I don't think he expected to be released, but a man like him could only hope that no one would master this technique enough to bring back those who were absorbed by it. "
"If you say so, then he will be unhappy when he returns. Do you need me to contain him? "
I chuckled at the frowning Sasuke.
"Don't think that I'm laughing at you. Not at all. However, the strength of the fourth is in his speed, and even being under the control of my seals that I will place upon arrival, I am afraid that he will find a split second and leave through his teleportation technique. You see, I have never been able to study it and I do not know its limits. I need your help to keep these seals with chakra. "
"Okay nii-san, but you still haven't answered me why you need it. Are you going to use him as a puppet? " Sasuke asked after a short thought.
"Not really. At least for now. As a puppet who finds a way and sticks a knife in your back, he is not very useful. All I need is an answer to the question that has tormented me all these years after the tailed beast attack. And also I will extract the nine-tails from it and take it for myself. "
Sighing in shock, Sasuke stared at me in disbelief and incomprehension. Standing each on his own eagle under the strong currents of air, we plunged into silence, each thinking about his own. The Eagles realized that we had stopped talking and sped up and until we reached the destination Sasuke didn't show his ignorance.
Finally, after a few hours of flight, we finally arrived in the former lands of Uzumaki.
"What a sad fate to be wiped off the face of the earth. I heard that they were destroyed, but to see it is much more annoying. " - Hairo commented circling over the ruins.
"Many clans share their fate and many will continue if great nations continue to live for the sake of greed. Hairo put us down next to that ruined building with broken gates behind the houses. " - realizing where I was pointing Jairo dived and we smoothly landed on the ground overgrown with grass. The sun was at its peak and, looking at the ruins, I thought about what to do.
"Apparently no one has been here for a long time. What have we forgotten here? " Sasuke jumped smoothly off the Eagle's back and stroked her beak.
"There is a real shrine of the Uzumaki clan here. There is a smaller version of it in the city center, even a copy. However, it was here that their knowledge was kept. But after the destruction, nothing remained. I was here once and took notes, but I never found anything except for what I needed. Everything was plundered. Here is what will help us get Minato back. "
After patting the folded wing, I decided to get rid of Hairo as he was too quiet when he heard about the resurrection of the dead.
"Thank you, Hairo, come back."
"Good. But remember Renjiro, raising the dead always comes with a price. I do not judge you in any way and I hope that we will see you again. Don't forget, father is waiting for you. " - in a deep voice warning and reminding me, he disappeared into a cloud of smoke. Sasuke the eagle followed him.
"Nii-san, what did he mean? Is the father of the eagles waiting for you? " Sasuke couldn't help but ask after hearing our conversation.
"Yes, each such clan has its own leader. For example, the frog clan, with whom Naruto has a good relationship, has an ancient frog that saw the birth of the chakra with his own eyes. He is their leader. Likewise, the eagle clan has its own leader and he wanted to talk to me, but I postponed the meeting because I have a lot to do to prepare a meeting with Itachi and the people around him. "
"..."
Sasuke remained silent only following me up the stairs to the ruined temple for a while.
"Thereafter. Tell me everything. I want to know more. But now, when there are no eagles, I will ask, what did you mean when you spoke about the tailed one in Minato? "
With a shrug, I brushed aside a five-centimeter spider that came down to me on the web and continued to walk into the central room through the destroyed corridor, explaining along the way.
"Minato did not die at the hands of the tailed beast, but at the hands of the entity that divided the tailed beast in two. Yin and Yang. The yang part was sealed in Naruto and he could barely withstand half the tailed beast's power. The yin part of Minato took with him into the stomach of this essence. Today I will call it and make a new contract by taking Minato in exchange for this trash. " - reaching the center of the room, having finished explaining, I threw the body of the unconscious nukenin forward. Now a puppet, he woke up and stood up listening to my commands. Saliva flowed from his mouth, and his eyes stared into emptiness. Having folded the seals, I asked the necessary commands, and activating the Sharingan gave him a vision of the necessary technique and how to use it.
"Stand by the door. This technique has a radius, if something goes wrong, we immediately run away. If I cannot act or move, pull me out and run using whatever is there. If everything works out, and this entity leaves, after doing everything i need to help me defeat Minato if he gets out of control. "
"Understood. I'm not sure how to feel about all this, but I will trust you for now. " - moving to the exit Sasuke stood up, straining and getting ready for something.
Having folded new seals, I touched the standing nukenin and unblocked his chakra. As if he had received a breath of air, he came to life and went to the wall on which the masks were hanging. Pulling one off that looked like devil face, he put it on his face and turned to me.
Swallowing, I continued to wait watching the Sharingan for the seals that he folded under my genjutsu and the seal on his brain. When he finished typing, he stood up calmly and dangled his arms. Activating the mangyoku instinctively, I watched as the mist formed quickly on the back of the victim. It exploded, thickening, and there was a cold laugh in the air. Watching us, reaper slowly reached for the knife he was holding in his teeth.
"What the hell is this?" - a tense question from Sasuke sounded and judging by the intonation, he also saw it. However, I did not have time to answer him.
The reaper took out a knife and licked it, with a sudden sharp movement he opened his stomach from which a blue soul flew out like a bullet. At the same time, Nukenin had a wound on his stomach identical to that of the reaper. After thinking, I suddenly realized that I needed to hurry. Grabbing the blue soul i held it in my hand without letting it escape.
Meanwhile, the reaper snatched the soul from the victim and began to slowly swallow it as if enjoying. When he finished he opened his mouth in silent laughter and a wave of cold washed over Sasuke and me. Having exploded in fog disappear, I finally realized that this creature was gone. Running to the falling body, I pulled out the contract scroll and opened it, folding the seals while the heart was still beating at the corpse. Putting my hand with Minato's soul in the center of the scroll, I directed the chakra, which suddenly began to be absorbed as if into an abyss and black seals crawled towards the soulless body. The papers rose from the circles formed by the ink and enveloped the body. The soul that was in my hand came out and entered like a fire flaring up all over my body and from the blue fire began to change color to purple violet. With a yell of pain, Minato's bright hair, so familiar from the anime, burst out of the paper. Finally breaking free from the paper, Minato stood up to his full height while his white cloak from the day of his death fluttered with the words of the Fourth Hokage. Somewhere inside me, an anime fan woke up watching the revival scene with awe and delight. But remembering my goals, I calmed down. Before he opened his eyes, I activated the seals that controlled his rebirth and immobilized him with my will and chakra.
"What's going on, what should I do?" - bypassing from the other side Sasuke came closer to us without lowering his vigilance. After all, what was the point of guarding the entrance when a Kage-level ninja could easily take out the decrepit walls of this building and escape.
"It's over. The fourth is in my seals and cannot move except his head. We made it. The previous hokage, Minato Namikaze! "- Imperceptibly wiping away sweat, I exclaimed and looked at Sasuke, who was still gripping tightly on the sword handle in his belt.
Minato's eyes suddenly opened, revealing a black sclera with dark blue pupils in the middle.
"I suspect you undid the Reaper deal that I used to seal myself in. Surprising considering your age. " Minato said calmly as if it was an everyday situation. His eyes quickly swept over our faces.
"Who you are? What village are you from? " - not finding any signs on us, he looked into my eyes as I was closer.
"My name is Renjiro Uchiha, this is my brother Sasuke, I suppose you've heard these names before."
"How does he know, he died the day I was born," Sasuke commented.
"No, I really do know your names. Sasuke is the son of Mikoto and Renjiro is the son of Naori. Your mothers were close friends of my wife Kushina. You have grown quite a lot, which means a lot of time has passed since my death. " Minato sighed sadly.
"Let's end this with this sentimentality, you were resurrected to answer my question." - activating Mangyoku, I showed him the eyes, shocking him.
"Do you know what those eyes are, Minato?" - I looked directly into the pupils but did not use genjutsu.
Frowning, Minato turned serious.
"I know about them. They were among the most talented people of your clan who left their mark on history. So you will leave yours too. Eyes are a great responsibility and power, I'm sure your clan is proud of them now, as is the village."
"He-he-he-he." - Covering half of my face with my hand, I laughed softly. After a couple of seconds, I couldn't help laughing. Sasuke just looked at Minato with the growing hate in his eyes that Minato saw.
"Ahahahaha!" - Abruptly cutting off my laughter, I suppressed a drop of hatred that leaked out with the thought that my mother died because of Minato and his wife. Naruto and Tailed Beast. Biwako and Obito. I was thinking that I buried hatred a long time ago but I guess, I was wrong.
However, this drop was enough to go crazy for a couple of seconds and show the madness in the eyes that Minato saw. Reassured, I grinned as I explained to Minato.
"Talent? Apparently, you know so little about us. About the Uchiha clan. These eyes, the curse of the Uchiha clan, and not their blessing. I received them when I saw the bodies of my mother and father. The father was killed by the paw of the tailed beast. Talon ripped open his armor and body, killing him instantly. And my mother ... He twisted her neck. And you know who it was. Sitting in front of their bodies, a four-year-old, I cried blood while my eyes burned promising retribution no matter what. However, the fact that my mother was killed while helping Kushina give birth to your son's Naruto gives me a lot of questions. Why was a member of the Uchiha clan admitted to such an event? Even the third did not know the location. Only his wife, together with her assistants, helped to give birth to Kushina. Why was my mother there? "
"Because we trusted her." - simply answered Minato, starting to understand why I called him.
"Because we wanted the Uchiha clan to trust us more, despite the protests of Hiruzen and the three advisers, I insisted that your mother, as a professional military doctor and our close friend, help us with the support of Kushina's life. During childbirth, the seal was weakened and the nine-tails tried to escape. This childbirth required a huge expenditure of energy for both Kushina and doctors. Biwako agreed, as did Fugaku Uchiha clan leader, to your mother's participation. We soon convinced the others. I believed that these simple actions would sow the seeds of peace and trust between us and we can eventually settle our differences in the name of the common good. As a close friend of Kushina, Naori was only glad and agreed to this as well. However, the village was attacked by someone calling himself Madara Uchiha and I was unable to protect your mother. I did my best and I understand your hatred. I sincerely apologize. " - Sadly Minato bowed his head politely closing his eyes. After a couple of seconds, he opened them again and looked at me expecting my words, but I didn't have them.
I knew that they were friends with Kushina and assumed this option. However, using friendship to bring the village and the Uchiha clan closer together ... Indeed, Minato tried to do his best. However, I never blamed him for the death of his parents.
"I never blamed you for this. There is only one culprit in this - Madar Uchiha. "- I shook my head sighing -" In truth, this man who attacked the village is a puppet of the real Madara. Soon there will be a hurricane that will overwhelm the whole world and uproot tens of thousands of rotten trees. However, on the land, through which the hurricane will pass, a new crop will sprout and these sprouts, looking back, will cease to be wild trees and will only grow up towards the sun. It is on this day that I will need you again. " - looking into Minato's eyes, I made sure that the tailed beast was in him, touching his subconscious and receiving a blow in the form of negative energy.
"I don't understand what you mean, what kind of hurricane? Wait ... "Minato frowned and tried to break out of the seal, but his body didn't even budge.
"You don't need to understand that. Over time, you may be needed again, but for now…. Sleep. " - Folding one single seal, I watched as Minato lost the light in his eyes. Behind him, a prepared coffin climbed out breaking the floor, and Minato with white eyes limply took a step back into the coffin. The lid rose from the ground and closed the coffin, which disappeared downward.
Turning to Sasuke's face, which was in a shadow from the roof, I only saw his thoughtfulness. The beams shot through holes in the rooftops and suddenly I found that the air was incredibly stale. The birds sang outside again and the rustle of grass could be heard. Coming outside, I sighed relaxed, and watched Sasuke out of the corner of my eye.
"It doesn't look like you needed me." Sasuke stepped out of the shadows and stood, basking in the sun on the stairs not far from me.
"I needed you in case everything went wrong and I needed someone to whom I can entrust my salvation. Luckily you have arrived. "
"I see. In truth, I came here to see you and see your strength, and judging by what I saw, you are striving for even greater strength. You own the eyes of our clan that are stronger than mine judging by my assessment. Unlike me, who took his strength from the knowledge of the village and Orochimaru, you were alone all the time and became stronger thanks to your will. I respect you for that. Nevertheless, you strive for even greater strength. Tell me why you need tailed beast? when you take it out will you hunt for more power? " Sasuke leaned against the railing, looking at me with black eyes.
"What if I told you that the tailed beast is just the key to real power?" - Smiling, I looked at him defiantly. I was glad that Sasuke trusted me and said not if I would, but when.
"Let's say you get the power that will be more powerful than the Tailed Beast and our eyes. And anyway why? "
"Because the world belongs to those who pursue strength, not to those who are content with weakness as an excuse. " I gave him a bold hint.
"I assume you have questions about Itachi?" - I asked him, nodding to myself, deciding to transfer the topic. I already knew that Sasuke would ask about him and wrote on a scroll of Itachi's strengths and weaknesses. I even included Shisui's eye and detailed his power. The main thing is that Itachi does not use his eye on Sasuke, otherwise he will not become my brother, but a pawn that will love and protect the village at the cost of his life.
I did not take into account only Itachi's Susanoo and his weapons, since I knew that Itachi would not kill Sasuke, but would only arrange his death in the hope that his brother would become stronger.
Throwing the scroll from my sleeves towards Sasuke, I watched as he caught it and started reading it. After reading the beginning of the scroll, his eyes changed with anger and when he rolled the scroll back he regained a serene expression.
"Thanks, nii-san. I assume all of this you learned as a member of the Akatsuki? "
"This is true. I was a Cat. Mask, changed voice, only by recognizing my chakra will they know who I am. And so they have no idea who I really am. They only invited me because I was an exceptional bounty hunter, outstanding in my success and strength. The chance of my assassinations was high. "
"I didn't know about it. It's hard to believe that such a famous killer is actually you. "
"Weird I thought Orochimaru told you about this?"
"Only that you were among the Akatsuki, but what your name was or what you looked like, I did not know. I could only guess. Sometimes it seems to me that you know more than anyone else. You always did things that boggle my imagination, jumped in power when I thought I could catch up with you. Now, thinking about our fight on the mountain, I understand why you then came under attack from Amaterasu. You didn't know how to give in. You always fight to kill and in a real battle I may not even survive. "
Waving my hands in denial, I decided to calm Sasuke, who was already starting to think about the difference in our strength.
"Hey Hey! You should not think about who is stronger and who is weaker. We are brothers. We grew up together even though we have different parents. If you are weaker, then I will just help you become stronger, that's how it works. "
With a nod, Sasuke remembered something.
"It reminded me. When you fled the village after being attacked by a rotten advisor, you told me to follow Orochimaru in a note, but not believe him. Did you know in advance that he would choose me as his target? How? It's impossible to find out in a few years unless you're from the future. When Orochimaru's pawns came after me, I followed them to become stronger ... But still. "
Laughing, I decided to tell him a long story about how Orochimaru began to reflect on the meaning of his life in the second war, watching deaths and striving to become stronger. How he tried to learn what he could, but realized that he did not have that much time. How he began to strive for immortality, but suddenly there was a turning point.
Itachi Uchiha.
Orochimaru once saw Itachi practicing and fighting off and dodging hundreds of kunai with his eyes. How Orochimaru was inflamed for the perfect body and dojutsu of the Uchiha clan.
Having given him the version that I predicted how he would decide to follow me or Sasuke, I watched the stricken Sasuke, who watched me with wide eyes.
"And since you were not there, and you were hiding, you understood that he would follow me. But you also knew that he would not kill me and only make me stronger. It's hard to believe that you've calculated this far. " Sasuke ran his hand over his temple to remove the bead of sweat.
"Something like this. So, when I finished my business, what are you going to do now? " I asked him.
"I left with a mission from Orochimaru. I needed to find one person and take research from him on some case. After eliminating. I wanted to deal with Orochimaru and then create a small group to kill Itachi. Will you join? "
"Yes with pleasure. Good idea since Itachi isn't alone. He always has one partner, Kisame, with him. Almost all of their group are strong shinobi, resourceful and ruthless. Did Orochimaru share knowledge about them with you? "
"Nothing about that."
"I see. Then when you're ready to hunt Itachi, I'll share my knowledge. Now then, let's split up. When you're ready to hunt Itachi, tell me, but for now, I'll take care of retrieving the tailed beast and other things. "
Sasuke nodded and walked away from the railing but he stopped and turned once again.
"Then I will take my time to eliminate Orochimaru and get rid of him in a week. I'll let you know when I'm ready to form a group. " - When finished, Sasuke turned and began to descend.
"Do you already have members of the team?" - I could not help but call out to him. Knowing the original, I knew that he had already picked three.
Who could it be? I guess I have already the answer.
"Yes, I have already chosen four. There will be six of us with two of us. Are you interested in their names? " Sasuke asked. Raising an eyebrow, I tried to remember who was the fourth in the anime or manga, but my memory apparently let me down.
"When the time comes we will all get to know each other. See you later, brother. " - smiling, I checked the mask on my belt that I took with me and activated the chakra with natural energy at the same time leaving through the shunshin leaving Sasuke alone behind.
