Naruto: As a genin, I just want to live a normal life.

Page 313

"Let's give it a try..."

Obito's body stiffened, and he could no longer move.

"Obito, don't forget our plan."

"Shirahoshi's strength is far inferior to what you witnessed last time."

"If a fight breaks out here, the plan may be disrupted."

At this point, Kabuto Yakushi's face broke into a sinister smile:

Do you really hope... you never see her again?

Obito froze. Now, he had only one hope—to be resurrected, enter the Eye of the Moon, and live the life he wanted.

His life will start anew because of this!

......

As Tobirama Senju was about to reach the two, he saw Madara Uchiha being sucked into Obito's alternate dimension, and he almost lost his footing.

"They're going to run!"

"I see him. Little Banban didn't see me. He must be thinking about something." Hashirama Senju squatted down and drew a circle on the desert ground, ignoring Tobirama Senju who rushed out beside him.

"Don't try to escape!"

A black shrapnel, mixed with Flying Thunder God kunai, was launched towards Obito Uchiha.

At this distance, Obito Uchiha looked disdainful.

"See you next time."

"Whether it's the Nine-Tails or the Eight-Tails, they will both be ours..."

The kunai was about to arrive, but there was still some distance to go, so Tobirama Senju couldn't help but appear in a flash.

call out--

"Flying Thunder God Slash!"

"Ghana."

Obito disappeared, and Tobirama's slash struck nothing but air.

"Fuck!"

Tobirama Senju was furious.

......

"The plan cannot be affected."

"Nagato has been defeated by Itachi. You'd better go and support the members of Kara..."

As they were talking, Kabuto suddenly noticed something was wrong, turned his head, and saw the appearance of two Uchiha ninjas.

A cold look appeared behind his glasses, and he smiled slightly:

"I never expected that you would actually use my Impure World Reincarnation to come and find me."

"As expected of you."

"Itachi Uchiha."

Behind him stood Itachi Uchiha and Sasuke Uchiha, who had left the village intending to end the war as soon as possible and head to the future, but had encountered Itachi Uchiha on the way.

"I never expected that you were the mastermind behind this battle, Kabuto Yakushi." Sasuke was a little shocked, looking at that face that looked like it had turned into a snake, and the aura emanating from that person's body gave him a feeling that he was not simple.

"How did you become like this? Could it be that you've turned into Orochimaru? Or... have you been possessed by Orochimaru?"

Itachi Uchiha's face was cold; he was certain that Kabuto had not been possessed.

"Ha ha ha ha ha."

Kabuto raised his head and let out a series of cold laughs.

He gently pushed aside the glasses he was reluctant to remove, lowered his gaze, and turned to look at Sasuke:

"Seize the body?"

"You could say that..."

"after all."

"A genius who has everything cannot understand."

"This is the real me!"

Sasuke frowned, unable to understand.

Itachi seemed to understand something, but he couldn't change any of the past, just like his family; even if he had regrets, he couldn't change it...

“From the very beginning, I…had nothing.”

But Itachi is certain that he only has one thing to do right now—stop Kabuto, stop the Fourth Shinobi World War!

In the corner of the cave ceiling, there is an eye that is almost blended into the stone wall, staring at this place.

......

"Did you go look for Dou?"

"Sasuke, you bastard..."

Shirahoshi yawned. He didn't care; the Edo Tensei was over anyway, and for him, it just meant a faster path to the final battle...

......

After a battle, just like in the original story, Kabuto Yakushi was caught in Itachi Uchiha's Izanami and trapped in an endless genjutsu until he accepted his fate and admitted his defeat, at which point he would emerge from the genjutsu.

Itachi Uchiha also explained the history of Izanami and Izanagi to Sasuke Uchiha.

That history tells the story of how the Uchiha clan of the past obtained the Resurrection Coin, began an internal war, and finally, a female ninja invented Izanami, saving the Uchiha clan.

"Since this technique is for the purpose of discipline."

"Then why use this technique on Kabuto?"

Sasuke was puzzled.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Itachi Uchiha's eyes. It seemed that his younger brother hadn't grown much in terms of his thinking over the years because of his death.

But that look only flashed by.

"Because he looks a lot like me."

Itachi Uchiha glanced at Kabuto Yakushi, then looked at Sasuke:

"Thinking they had everything and were omnipotent, they blindly and recklessly advanced."

"That's why I'm afraid of failure and I deceive myself by saying I won't fail, that I can't possibly fail."

"The consequence of deceiving yourself is becoming unable to trust others anymore; that's what I used to be like..."

Even though Itachi Uchiha was referring to himself and Kabuto, wasn't it also a form of regret for the past?

Deceived and manipulated by the ninja world, constantly being played and manipulated, they can never forgive or accept themselves...

He remained obstinate until his death.

Itachi didn't want Kabuto to become like that, so he only used Izanami to wake him up, instead of attacking him immediately after he was hit by Izanami.

Sasuke, his face cold, felt that Itachi had done too much for Kabuto, and said with a hint of jealousy:

"What right does he have? What right does he have to make you, brother, do so much for him!"

“He’s not like you, brother, you’re perfect.”

Itachi sighed inwardly, his tone helpless.

"Sasuke..."

This child has not grown up at all.

He had no choice but to confront him, admitting that he had been trying to control him with the gods and that he had always seen him as someone who needed protection.

Moreover, he is not perfect.

"First, you must accept your true self."

"In lies, there is no trust, and you will not have any companions."

"Furthermore, one will lose their true self amidst the lies."

As Itachi spoke, Kabuto Yakushi was also experiencing endless cycles of reincarnation within Izanami...

-

I've said everything I needed to say.

Itachi Uchiha had nothing left to hold onto, and he prepared to control Kabuto Yakushi and dispel the Edo Tensei.

"From now on, I will dispel the Impure World Reincarnation and end this war."

"Then, brother, you too..."

"I have nothing left to regret, as I was able to protect the village once again as Uchiha Itachi of Konoha."

"why why!"

"The village has hurt you so badly, it has ruined our family, our clan, and even you, my brother, who turned me into this! How can I easily forgive the village!"

Uchiha Itachi was silent for a moment.

After a long pause, he slowly said:

"From today onwards, the person who will change you will no longer be me."

He turned to Dou and said:

"The seal for rebirth in the Pure Land..."

"In that case, I will go back in time, destroy Konoha, and prevent the Uchiha clan from being destroyed!"

Itachi Uchiha's hand, which was reaching out to remove Kabuto Yakushi's glasses, paused slightly.

The past? Sasuke can't be joking, right? Looking at Sasuke now, it seems he's even grown a bit, and found some kind of technology related to going back in time.
