16 years old, fourth generation Mizukage

Chapter 294 The Split of Sasuke Uchiha
On this side, Uzumaki Naruto suffered from Kaguya Rei's solid talk, and fell into reminiscence and self-doubt about the past, while on the other side, Uchiha Sasuke, after the communication with Konoha's high-level people, endured I couldn't help but sighed one after another.

"Sasuke, since you just walked out of the venue, you have been sighing there from time to time... Is it because the questions raised by the fourth generation are too sharp and frequent?"

Seeing his younger brother lost in thought again in front of a plate of hot dumplings just served, Uchiha Itachi couldn't help stretching out his hand to touch his forehead worriedly, and asked worriedly.

"No, there is no such thing."

Uchiha Sasuke came back to his senses, shook his head slightly, a little lonely, and said with a little envy:
"I just saw the fourth Hokage himself who is still alive, and from his words and deeds, I can see the difference between him and the third Hokage and other high-level Konoha, so I can't help feeling a little bit... "

Thinking back to the blond who listened carefully to each of his speeches, was always able to ask well-thought-out questions when he was ready, and sincerely apologized for the inappropriateness of his speeches. Man, Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

If the fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato did not die during the Nine-Tails Rebellion, but survived well and governed Konoha as Hokage, then whether it is the Uchiha clan who wants to rebel against Konoha Ye's voice, or the night of the genocide later, should all be silent, melted under his seriousness, sincerity, excellence and sunshine, right?

And as Konoha's first civilian-born Hokage, Namikaze Minato's mind should be able to allow his successor to come from the Uchiha clan, right?
Starting from the assumption that Namikaze Minato hadn't died in the Kyuubi Rebellion, Uchiha Sasuke's thoughts began to spread endlessly.

He saw Uchiha Itachi who was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Namikaze Minato, and finally stood out among the competitors and became the fifth generation of Hokage;
I saw the Uchiha clan who further carried forward their pride and excellence under the rule of Uchiha Itachi, as well as the back view of chasing my brother as a matter of course, while secretly competing with my brother, while sincerely maintaining my brother's glory as Hokage self;

He saw Naruto Uzumaki, who was no longer rejected, feared and alienated by the people of Konoha because of his status as an orphan and Jinchuriki. He saw Naruto Uzumaki brazenly saying that he wanted to be a better Hokage than Itachi, and then he and himself became each other. An old enemy who promotes the progress of the other party;
……

Although Uchiha Sasuke knows that if he has not experienced the pain and suffering in childhood, and has not experienced the heartbreaking loss and grief, neither he nor Uzumaki Naruto will grow up to be as powerful as later The entire ninja world is likely to be dragged into the eternal dream of Infinite Tsukiyomi because the two "saviors" of himself and Naruto have not grown up...

But Uchiha Sasuke still can't help but feel that, rather than becoming the savior who saves the world through pain and suffering, he still hopes that he can grow up with his family, and in the healthy competition with Naruto, you chase me In the process of catching up, he keeps getting stronger, moving forward with half yearning for his brother's back and half unwillingness to admit defeat, and finally, together with the Konoha ninjas who are worthy of his sacrifice and protection, meet the final battle against the revived goddess Uno .

Probably because the fantasy was too warm, so that Uchiha Sasuke's face, which was used to indifference, slowly showed a soft smile, and looking at Uchiha Sasuke's involuntary smile, Uchiha Itachi's mood became a little heavy.

Taking the younger brother he is familiar with as a reference, and the "brother" who comes from decades in the future, who is always indifferent and tense as a reference, Uchiha Itachi doesn't even need to use his brain to think, he knows what is going on in front of him. This younger brother from the future didn't take the initiative to choose to become the current indifferent appearance who rarely even smiles.

So, who is the person who forced him to become what he is now step by step?
It is those old Konohas who are old-fashioned, self-confident, and hold power and refuse to hand it over. It is the ninjas who are bound by the limitations of the ninja profession but do not know it. They are clearly unable to change everything. But he always wants to solve everything by himself, his arrogant self.

"There are a lot of geniuses who are good at fighting and killing in the ninja world, but have they really achieved any results? No, the results they have obtained, except that the war never changes, and the extremely elementary hatred chain theory ,Nothing at all."

"As long as there is a reconciliation between the two leaders who have hatred, the two villages with conflicting interests can turn enemies into friends and never invade each other again? As long as everyone is willing to sit down and talk, peace Can it really come? As long as the ninjas look forward to peace in their hearts, no one will want to start a war anymore?"

"No one seriously thinks about these issues, separates the core contradictions and conflicts for research, and then teaches the analysis of these issues to more people who can understand them. Ninjas will always be in the hands of others. It's just a knife."

"So read more books, look more at history, and build up philosophical thinking and humanities with ninja characteristics from scratch. This is much more valuable than trying to open a pair of kaleidoscope writing sharing eyes. ...well, at least when I was around."

Suppressing Kaguya Rei's exhortation that suddenly appeared in his mind, Uchiha Itachi blinked, and then looked at Uchiha Sasuke who couldn't help showing embarrassment because of the string of sweetened four-color dumplings in his hand , calling out the other party's name very seriously.

"Sasuke."

"Huh? What's the matter, Itachi?" Sasuke Uchiha swallowed the dumplings that were too sweet for him, and looked at the serious Uchiha Itachi with doubts.

"You guys came to our era through that big wooden treasure that can travel through time and space, right?"

"Um, yes, what's the problem?"

"If it can bring people from the future back to the past... then can it be reversed and bring people from the past to the world of the future?"

Uchiha Itachi's question made Uchiha Sasuke subconsciously show a vigilant look, but when he thought that the person in front of him was a good brother Uchiha Itachi who had never experienced those darkness at all, his expression suddenly relaxed again. The tone of too sure speculated:
"Should... it's possible, right? After all, Otsutsu Mokura Shiki wanted to use the 'plough' to travel back in time to the past of the ninja world, capture the nine tails from the body of Naruto who has not yet grown up, and bring them back to where we are. Times, as the material for resurrecting Ten-Tails...why ask this, Itachi?"

"Probably because of curiosity, and a sudden, crazy idea."

Uchiha Itachi sorted out his thoughts, then looked at Uchiha Sasuke, sitting upright, and said sincerely:
"Although I know this idea is crazy, rude and offensive, but... if possible, I would like to go with you to the future you are in when Sasuke and you go back to the future."

"Why did you suddenly have such an idea, Itachi?"

Uchiha Sasuke didn't directly reject Uchiha Itachi's request, but seriously asked the polite-looking brother in front of him why he wanted to do this.

"Probably, I want to add some more knowledge before I officially become a teacher of teaching and educating people, and through the research of the historical development of a world where there is no known Mizukage-sama, to analyze more deeply The origin, development and limitations of the ninja profession, so that people in the ninja world can more easily and clearly understand the reform methods starting from Kirigakure, what is the purpose?"

Uchiha Itachi gave such an unexpected but reasonable answer to Uchiha Sasuke.

"You still have the character that likes to think about most people, Itachi." Sasuke Uchiha put down the dumpling in his hand, and said in a nostalgic tone.

"It's not entirely for other people in the ninja world..."

Itachi Uchiha pushed his plain glasses and said frankly:

"I have listened to a lot of teachings from Mizukage-sama, and I have also learned a lot of theoretical knowledge. One of them is called "Practice is the only criterion for testing truth. Go to your era and take a look, and see what happens under normal circumstances." Is it possible to use the knowledge I have learned to analyze and verify the history of..."

"In other words, is this your personal desire, Itachi?"

"Ah, just take it as my willfulness, Sasuke...is that okay?" Uchiha Itachi asked a little nervously.

"I'll go talk to Naruto." Uchiha Sasuke took a deep breath and held Uchiha Itachi's hand with his right hand, "After all, this is my first chance to help you realize your personal selfishness Wish, Itachi."

"Sasuke..."

"Weasel..."

The two looked at each other like this, and each saw the joyful self and the excited one from the other's eyes.

And on the street not far from where they were sitting, Sasuke Uchiha (younger), who followed the two of them along with Naruto Namikaze because he was unwilling to eavesdrop and failed, was already so angry that his face burst out Red, green for a while, a picture that opened the Sharingan on the spot or even the kaleidoscope Sharingan, which is not surprising at all.

But the swaying man beside him added fuel to the fire with a look of gloating:
"Hey, don't you think that uncle's version of you is more suitable to stay with your Nissan than the real you, Sasuke?"

"Huh...huh...Bo! Wind! Naruto! Man! Do you really want to die that much!?"

"I'm in a hurry? But am I wrong? Your Nissan has already made an agreement with the uncle version of you to go to the future with him, and even admitted that this is his personal selfish wish... He is so serious. Did you ever say that to you, Sasuke Uchiha?"

"... Naruto Naruto." Sasuke Uchiha (little) took a deep breath.

"How?" Naruto Naruto tilted his head, asking back without any awareness.

"I'm going to kill you! One! Thousand! Times! Also! No! Enough!!!"

With a pair of blood-red eyes of Sangoudama, Uchiha Sasuke (little) rushed towards Naruto Namikaze angrily, and scuffled with this evil friend he had known since childhood on the spot.

Uchiha Sasuke (big), who noticed the movement here amidst the exclamation of passers-by, could not help but twitch the corners of his mouth because of the twinkling eyes of Uchiha Sasuke (small). And showed a very embarrassed expression.
