Looking around, I did not notice his partner anywhere. But even if there was, I was more worried about the cards in my brother's sleeves than that nukenin fish.
Without getting up, I looked directly at my brother who was looking at me in about ten meters. Cold eyes and leaning against a tree, he stuck his hand out from under the cloak and put it on top as if propping up. Silence and tension could be felt in the air. Stretching out the body of the eight-tailed one, I imperceptibly laid a talisman by the collar, which is activated over time.
"How long have you watched?"
"From the moment you used that jutsu terraforming the plains. I have to admit it was amazing, but I hope you understand that such an earthquake could flood the water in the ocean and rivers and kill a lot of people. Or have you forgotten about kumogakure? You probably ended up burying them all in there. "
I realized that he was right and I did not think about it. But hearing it from him?
"I do not want to hear lectures from the one who killed his own clan and family for order."
His face was half-hidden under the collar of his cloak, but I clearly saw the surprise in his wide eyes, which gave me pleasure. The longer we talked, the more I could rest and get ready.
"How much do you know?" - there was no excitement in the voice, but even more steel and cold were added. A sure sign that Itachi is scared. And, perhaps, he will decide to shut me up forever ...
"I know enough. Where is your partner fish? "
"Me is enough for you. Even though you consider yourself strong, you are still not experienced. " - Stepping forward, closing the distance, Itachi stopped. Even if the step was small, it shortened the time for attacking jutsu or genjutsu.
"Would you like to tell me the truth yourself?"
"It depends on what is true for you. Your concept of truth may differ from mine. "
"Why did you actually wipe out the Uchiha clan. Not only that, but also accepted the help of a stranger? "
The wind picked up, blowing Itachi's hair, but Itachi didn't even twitch, and our family squabble was only heating up. Itachi clearly had a lot of questions and wanted to know them. Even the eight-tailed was less of a problem for him now.
"Does Sasuke know?"
"Not yet."
"If you ask why I will answer you the truth. The reason is not really what I told you in our last meeting. The death of our clan was inevitable. If I had not destroyed the clan, then our clan and our village would burn in flames. Seeing the weakness of the village, others could destroy it by eating together. Do I need to tell you what happened to the Uzumaki clan? " - as if at school he asked me a question about history.
"I know. The clan was destroyed by the combined forces of ninja villages. Knowledge has been stolen and shared between the villages. The women were plundered as prisoners of war as incubators. However, all this might not have happened if the third, having learned about the upcoming attack, would have sent help. He deliberately chose the worst possible outcome. So are you. You could have prevented the rebellion. "
"You don't know what you're talking about." Closing his eyes as if tired, Itachi decided to end the meaningless conversations. But I haven't finished.
"While I was out of the village I dug up a lot of information. The disappearance of the Senju clan was planned by the leaf village itself. They were slowly buried from the light by assassins and other . Only Tsunade remained. For our clan, too, they began after a while, stirring up the hatred growing within the clan. Rigged missions on the borders of other villages. By merging the data, they removed the members of the Uchiha clan in this way. And then the day came and only four Uchiha survived. " - grinning, I looked at Itachi that was looking at me closely.
"So you know him. Where." - Itachi asked in a commanding tone, as if angry.
"Has the meaning if i told you?" - I asked as I got up.
"No." - opening his eyes showing the Sharingan Itachi went in my direction without making unnecessary movements.
Trying not to look into his eyes, I activated my sharingan and went in his direction.
Starting with Itachi's kick, which I easily deflected and counter-attacked him in the head with a fist, Itachi split into a raven. Realizing that I was in genjutsu, I unrolled the chakra, pulling free and realized that my neck was burning. After rubbing it after Itachi hit that I could get around, I jumped back to the body of B.
Analyzing, I realized that he hangs his hand for a reason, but for using genjutsu.
"It was painful." - in confirmation of the reddened neck, I could not help but say.
"I don't want to kill you. All I need is a tailed beast. Give it to me. "
Grinning and brushing the fallen black hair back from my forehead, I simply beckoned him with my palm straightening.
Even though I was stronger and faster, the skirmish with the jinchūriki, albeit a short one, strongly strained my body. Slowly retreating, I realized that Itachi had ceased to feel sorry for me and his every blow was directed to kill me. Any mistake could cost me everything. Stretching out my index finger and little finger, I caught the flying scroll from the sleeve, retreating while watching the pursuing Itachi, I opened it and filled it with chakra right in the air.
Exactly eight pieces of wood jumped out and, widening his eyes, Itachi instantly jumped back recognizing them.
"Where did you get them from? No, it's impossible ... "- this time I really shocked him.
Coughing Itachi spat out blood and looking at his palm, he closed his eyes. Having failed to complete the technique of summoning any of the eagles, I suddenly found myself surrounded by a bloody sea. There were no walls and there were clouds in the bloody sky.
" The Heck." - I didn't even understand how I got into his genjutsu. AGAIN. Having dispersed the chakra, I realized that I could not escape and, having touched my stomach, trying to open the seal and use the chakra of the two tails, I was horrified to find that there was no chakra at all.
"You can't get out of here." Itachi was weaving straight from the crows.
"Is this your Mangyoku?"
"Yes, you are right. But here you can't pull the time as it is on my side. I can torture for days, but in reality it will only take a minute. This is Tsukiyome. "
"You don't have enough chakra to support your eyes." - and it was true. The eyes absorb an abnormal amount of chakra, and given that Itachi is dying, every use of his eyes brings him closer to death and weakens him.
"And what do you want." - I asked him calmly as if I had not lost the ability to move.
"I've already done everything that needs to be done. Brother. You will not be lost, but after you leave here, think about your actions and words. " Slowly the crows began to fly away and Itachi disappeared. A voice came from the void.
"I already took the jinchuriki and left. But you will spend two years here. "
"You fucking bitch!!!"
Angry, there was nothing I could do but try to get out. But with every attempt I realized that there is no chakra and I am an ordinary person. There is an option to use Izanagi. But for the sake of saving a couple of seconds of time, I decided to endure. There was absolute silence, but I already felt that time dragged on endlessly.
Deciding to shorten the time, I counted to one hundred and forty-six, but the time stretched out even more. If Itachi told the truth, I would have to count to sixty million.
"One two Three."
I knew Itachi's story and felt sorry for him in the beginning. Born a genius, he became a special child and received unwanted attention from the rotten roots of both the clan and the village.
"Four five six."
The friend is betrayed and killed. The clan is blinded by arrogance.
"Seven eight."
But now my last pity for him was gone. If I attacked his soul right away, I wouldn't have to sit here !!
"Nine. Ten."
If I see you again .. I will pull your soul out of you without giving you a chance.
"eleven. Twelve."
But I have to wait. And think it over.
"Sixteen. Seventeen"
A surprise awaits him when he carries the jinchūriki to Akatsuki. He already lost alot of chakra so B will be able to escape.
"Twelve thousand one."
There is still quite a bit of time to wait...
