Side Story: After the Eight Gates Sasuke Traveled to Shippuden (End)
Theoretically, the Akatsuki of this world were the innocent ones.
Nagato and Konan had dutifully organized their forces to attack Konoha, single-mindedly collecting Tailed Beasts, and hadn't thought of provoking Sasuke. As a result, they had suffered an undeserved disaster. The originally formidable organization had now been slaughtered by him, leaving only the two original shareholders.
Itachi Uchiha had his own set of standards for judgment. He frowned and said, "Is the Kisame Hoshigaki of this world still alive?"
"...Dead."
Sasuke Uchiha guiltily lowered his head, then quickly retorted, "He was a member of the Akatsuki! That shark-faced guy was attacking Konoha!"
"Nii-san, and the Akatsuki of this world is still collecting Tailed Beasts! They're trying to revive the Ten-Tails and let Kaguya Otsutsuki descend again!"
"Fortunately, I realized it in advance and foiled their conspiracy…"
"…"
Itachi looked up, a strange expression on his face. He glanced at the nine stone spheres made of Planetary Devastation in the sky. He could clearly sense the chakra of the nine Great Tailed Beasts within them.
This way of foiling a conspiracy…
It seems Sasuke has done a lot of things in this ninja world!
Konan gritted her teeth, stood up, and said in a low voice, "Itachi Uchiha from another world, can you return the Tailed Beasts to us…"
"It's best not to do that, Konan."
Itachi shook his head, then suddenly spread the five fingers of his right hand. The Planetary Devastation spheres in the sky suddenly split open, and the nine Tailed Beasts were instantly freed from their seals!
The moment these Tailed Beasts landed, they immediately charged at the group!
Clearly, whether it was being sealed in the Gedo Statue or being sealed by Planetary Devastation, it was enough to make these chakra aggregates fly into a rage!
"Sage Art: Myōjinmon!"
Itachi waved his hand, and one by one, pitch-black torii gates fell from the sky, instantly suppressing all nine Tailed Beasts in place!
This move immediately made Nagato and Konan tremble with fear!
Compared to the nine Planetary Devastations that Sasuke had released, Itachi had easily suppressed all nine Tailed Beasts by himself. Wasn't this guy a bit too strong!
Their Akatsuki organization had collected funds, gathered intelligence, and recruited personnel, busying themselves for so many years for these nine Tailed Beasts. As a result, they were now subdued in one second…
"The Tailed Beasts are not such a powerful force…"
Itachi looked at Nagato and Konan and advised in a low voice, "Back then, the Sage of Six Paths separated the nine Tailed Beasts from the Ten-Tails in order to prevent the Ten-Tails from bringing calamity to the world, and also to prevent the progenitor of chakra from breaking free of her seal…"
"The matter is complicated, and not something you can participate in. Konan, Nagato, you should just go back and take care of your homeland, the Hidden Rain Village…"
"Go back?"
Nagato's face suddenly became ferocious. He looked at Itachi and shouted, "Do you know what we have experienced! Our ninja world has never had peace! Even the Itachi Uchiha of this world—the pain he has experienced is even greater than mine!"
"Bastard! How dare you speak to my brother like that!"
Sasuke, enraged by these words, dashed forward, his hand tightly gripping Nagato's neck. His knee slammed into Nagato's chest!
The red-haired Uzumaki descendant spat out a large mouthful of blood. It was clear he had been severely injured…
Even Konan was too late to stop him. She could only, with a cold face, manipulate her origami to float in the air, with sheets of explosive tags interspersed among them…
"…Let him go, Sasuke."
Itachi stopped Sasuke's actions, and with a wave of his hand, summoned a fierce wind, blowing all the origami away. Only then did he continue, "I'm sorry. I understand your feelings, but the path you have walked is indeed the wrong one."
Saying this sounded rather insincere…
Itachi had communicated with the Konan of the other world and understood her past life, but it was difficult for him to empathize. After all, his entire life had been smooth sailing, and he had hardly experienced any setbacks.
He had been doted on by his parents since he was a child and had established himself in Konoha as the "child of another family."
The most dangerous time in Itachi's life was probably that time before he met Kitahara, when he had jumped off a cliff…
Based on the sage chakra and Six Paths chakra in his body now, he could probably live for a very long time. Even eternal life was not an impossible thing…
Pain…
What is pain…
If you go and ask around in their ninja world, who wouldn't want to live Itachi Uchiha's life…
In Lord Fifth Hokage's view, the only two people in the ninja world who were in the most pain were probably Kakashi Hatake and Naruto Uzumaki.
Konan's expression was not good. To have her hard work of so many years be negated by a single sentence—it was estimated that no one would be in a good mood. "Then what do you think we should do?"
"This question is rather complicated… Universal Pull!"
Itachi flicked his long hair, suddenly grabbed Nagato's body with one hand, and the power of Yang was instantly infused into his body. Nagato's body recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Even his emaciated figure had completely changed!
The injuries that had accumulated over many years were all healed in an instant…
Nagato looked up in horror, his gaze fixed on the Rinnegan in Itachi's eyes. "What… what do you mean by this!"
"Every ninja world has different rules, and different stories."
The Fifth Hokage's gaze slowly turned, looking at Konoha in the distance. "If you want to realize your dreams, then train twice as hard, become stronger. As for the Rinnegan and all that, it can't be called true power…"
Itachi turned his head and looked at the paper flower swaying in the wind, and at the graceful figure beneath it. "As for why I healed Nagato's injuries, consider it compensation to you… Everyone has their own story, and I cannot judge the Akatsuki's actions."
"It's just that my little brother is not a person who likes to listen to stories…"
Itachi looked at Sasuke, who was still indignant, with a doting smile. "He sometimes accidentally wanders into other worlds. I hope you can forgive his actions. After all, in a sense, the result is good for you…"
Nagato: "…"
Konan: "…"
He nearly killed them, destroyed their organization, and that was "good for them"?
Is this the world of the strong?
Itachi no longer paid any attention to them. He patted Sasuke's shoulder. "Mm, you still have the Sage of Six Paths' chakra on you. I'll go and see him…"
"No need!"
Sasuke pouted. "The old man of this world can't wait for us to leave! He's afraid we'll destroy this ninja world! Am I that kind of homicidal person!"
In the sky, an old man's cough suddenly rang in everyone's ears. "…Ahem… the matter of the Hidden Grass Village…"
"Don't be so sneaky…"
Sasuke angrily shouted at the sky, "Hey, do you want me to use Rinne Rebirth to revive them…"
The voice in the sky instantly stopped.
The chakra soul of the Sage of Six Paths did not appear, but Itachi knew very well that he was sensing this place. After a light laugh, he waved his hand and opened a space-time gate. "Well then, I hope we can meet again in this lifetime…"
The two brothers left just like that, leaving behind a mess.
Nagato gritted his teeth, looking at the nine Tailed Beasts imprisoned by the Myōjinmon. "Konan, should we continue to collect the Tailed Beasts according to 'Madara's' will? Or should we believe that Itachi's words and give up on collecting them…"
All nine Tailed Beasts are right here!
They don't even have the power to fight back!
Konan was a little dazed. She wrung her fingers, at a loss. She looked at Nagato's freely moving legs. "Or perhaps we should go and ask this world's Sasuke, and see what his opinion is? As Itachi's younger brother, he should also be very resourceful, right?"
