Brother, you are my jade - Asma of Hokage

Chapter 49 Conversation

In Hokage's office, Kakashi was having a private conversation with Tsunade.

"Master Tsunade...about A Tsubasa..."

"Let's talk, there is no one else here, and you must have found a lot of information, Kakashi."

"Master Tsunade... Tsubasa, are you not in the village anymore?"

Kakashi originally wanted to convey Asma's words to A Yi, but in the past few days, he could not find A Yi's whereabouts anywhere, and there was not even a trace of A Yi in the record of the mission.

"Yeah..." Tsunade's expression was sad and helpless, "I just left a few days ago..."

"Master Jiraiya is actually investigating A Yi's affairs. He said that he believes that even if A Yi leaves the village, his loyalty to the village will remain unchanged."

"Then what do you think? Kakashi."

"Of course I think the same. But... something must have happened to Tsunade-sama's body, right?"

"Why do you ask?"

"intuition."

"...I have nothing to say about this matter. In short, the matter of A Yi's departure from Konoha can only continue to be concealed. Kakashi, if there is nothing else, then go back and rest."

"…understood."

After A Yi left Konoha, he has been looking for a person. After a few days of hard work, he finally found that person.

"Finally found you, Itachi."

"I can actually find one of the bases of the 'Akatsuki' that is so secret... It seems that compared to the last time I fought with you, I have grown a lot." Itachi sat with his back to A Yi.

"Because when I dealt with Hidan and Kakuto before, I got a lot of information by the way. And now I know that your companion Kisame will not come back here in a short time. Then I'll just say it—Itachi, I'm just here to confirm something."

"Is there anything you need to confirm about Konoha's rebellious ninja?" Hearing A Yi's words, Itachi's expression became slightly condensed.

"To be precise, it's for Uchiha Itachi who 'bears the name of rebellious ninja'."

The words in Ayi's words made Itachi's expression more serious: "...Ayi, how much do you know about the night when the Uchiha clan was destroyed?"

"...Right now, as much as you know, roughly as much as I know."

"Is that so... Then, before you confirm with me, I also have one thing to confirm - Amaterasu!"

In an instant, Itachi turned around and used Amaterasu on A Yi!Black flames enveloped Ah Yi's body, completely covering his figure.But Ah Yi was not moved at all, not even a bit of expression changed.In the next moment, Ah Yi's body was immediately covered by a layer of black enchantment, and Amaterasu's flame also disappeared at the same time!

"It can easily dispel Amaterasu's barrier... Sure enough, A Yi, you also have the Kaleidoscope Sharingan!" Itachi finally stood up, and the two stood facing each other.

"Do you want to use Amaterasu to test my strength and intentions? Anyway, at least I have satisfied you in the result." A Yi untied the enchantment covering himself, and gently untied the shackles that bound his eyes. Bandages, exposing his dark kaleidoscope Sharingan to Itachi's eyes.

"..."Sharingan of Gray", can activate pupil power without vision, and can perceive the surrounding situation anytime and anywhere.This kind of rare Sharingan has only been owned by a few people in the Uchiha clan's hundreds of years of history.And on the basis of this sharingan, you are the first person who has opened the kaleidoscope sharingan. "

"I know all of this. It's all recorded on the stone slabs under the Konoha meeting place. Ironically, the price of this sharing eye is vision. The stronger the pupil power, the worse the vision. Now, the kaleidoscope writing wheel is turned on My eyes couldn't feel any light at all after [-] eye—completely blind."

"Although you don't rely on eyesight, according to the records, the insight of your Sharingan is probably far better than that of an ordinary kaleidoscope Sharingan, and even... I'm afraid you can easily understand people's hearts—so you are fighting with Fei Duan In the process of fighting, they must have spied all the "Akatsuki" information they knew! "

"Exactly. So I found you very easily, Itachi. You just used Amaterasu to surprise me just now to confirm this to me. After all, if I can really spy on people's hearts, I have to beware of your Amaterasu." It must be very easy to take pictures... Besides, Itachi, you have full confidence in your judgment, otherwise you would not use Amaterasu at the risk of killing me-after all, you are still the Uchiha of 'Konoha' Ferret'."

"...Then Ah Wing, what do you want to say to me?"

"Standing not far from you for so long, the truth about the Uchiha extermination, and the information about "Akatsuki" that you know, I have basically learned through mind reading.Now all I want to say is, watch out for that masked man. "

"Uchiha Madara?"

"He practiced with you that night to destroy the Uchiha clan. At that time, I also noticed his aura. However, I am afraid that even you have not figured out his real purpose. Moreover, my intuition is asking me , 'Is he really Madara Uchiha?'”

"Judging from the information I have, he is indeed Uchiha Madara-although the possibility of impersonation is not completely ruled out... However, what is certain is that even if he is not Uchiha Madara, he is also Uchiha Madara just as dangerous."

"I think so too. On the way to find you this time, I accidentally found him hiding underground. Although I can sense his existence, even with the pupil power of the kaleidoscope Sharingan, I still can't read his heart."

"how?"

"I'm not entirely sure why. However, that guy's figure is erratic, seemingly invisible. Maybe it's because of his special ability that my mind reading skills can't work."

"I see. Probably as you deduce. I'll be on my guard about that fellow."

"...Well, Itachi, since the official business is over, let's talk about some private matters." When A Yi said this, he had already released his Kaleidoscope Sharingan, and then sat down beside him.

Seeing this, Itachi realized that A Yi really just wanted to chat a little as a friend, so he replied half-jokingly: "Didn't you see through my heart just now? What else can I say?" ?”

"I'm not the kind of person who likes to spy on other people's privacy. Through my pupil power, I can only selectively spy on the information I need. Moreover, I still want to talk to you like an ordinary person, that's all. After all, you and I The same, they are all people who are away from home, but their hearts are still in Konoha——except for you, it is very difficult for me to find anyone who can talk normally now."

Itachi also sat down, pondered for a moment, and then continued: "...It seems that you have experienced a lot. Everyone who has opened the Kaleidoscope Sharingan must have experienced many things that he did not want to experience. Because usually, the Kaleidoscope The opening of Sharingan is accompanied by the death of a close relative, at the price of that person's death——Ayi, your brother Asma..."

"Brother Asma did not die. Although he was seriously injured by the flying section and the horn, I finally saved him with all my might—but the price was very heavy for me...As for the specific situation, As an apology for prying into your secrets without permission, I also confessed my situation..."

A Yi told Itachi about some recent events, as well as his physical condition.

"Is that so ironic, both of them ruined their bodies for the sake of the most cherished person..." Itachi's health is also very grim now, he is very sick, and these days he even has to rely on medicine to relieve his pain. support.In addition, A Yi transferred his medical ninjutsu ability to Asma, and now even if he wants to help Itachi, he still has more than enough energy.

"...A Yi, your eyes should have been opened at that time too. I can't think of any other possibility."

"Yes. This kind of Sharingan, as you said, is very special, and the way the kaleidoscope is opened is even more special-only when you implement the will to protect the most important person at the risk of your own life." , to open the Kaleidoscope Sharingan - I used my own life as the price and used the forbidden technique "Self Reincarnation" to save brother Asma.But in the end, due to insufficient chakra, the operation was incomplete. Although Brother Asma survived, he failed to heal, and I also recovered a life-but after all, I had implemented this "will", so I Eyes opened. "

"To you, Asma is the most important person; to me, it's Sasuke."

"About Sasuke... Itachi, you are planning to hide the truth from Sasuke, and you even plan to let Sasuke kill you with his own hands, so as to protect Sasuke... But I just ran out of the village to escape the truth. Itachi, your consciousness , is really great.”

"..."

"It's just, Itachi, have you ever thought about whether that masked man will disturb your situation in the future and reveal the truth to Sasuke?"

"I have already prepared the means to deal with that person. But you, what if you let Asma know the truth of 'you sacrificed your life to save him'?"

"That's why I think I'm not as good as you. I just plan to die before Brother Asma knows the truth, but before that, I still want to do my part to protect the village."

"As long as there is this will, people are regardless of high or low. Moreover, I have long considered the possibility that Madara will reveal the truth to Sasuke. Although I just said that I have prepared "means", but what is the difference between Madara and Madara? If it doesn't work, so what if it doesn't work, I didn't think deeply about it - because I don't have the ability to do anything, Madara's mystery is beyond my imagination.In other words, you and I are both troubled by the limitations of our own abilities and want to do more, but in the end we are still powerless.From this point of view, there is no difference between you and me. "

"Is that so... No way, although there are other things I want to say, let's stop the gossip, someone is here."

Kisame has arrived not far away, A Yi must leave.

"Goodbye, Itachi."

They left each other a code for future contact, and A Yi left.

Author's Note: A Yi and Itachi are still hesitating whether to join forces or choose to act alone.It is because A Yi has placed all his heart on Asma, thinking that only he can solve his own affairs, and can no longer really trust people other than Asma. Collaboration with others——Because I am too good, I gradually become distrustful of the power of others, thinking that I can do something alone, even if I can’t do it, others can’t do it either, ignoring the limitations of personal power, persistence to myself.
