Konoha: I, Uchiha, just want to die.

Chapter 285 The determination to move forward! Minato Namikaze as a companion!
"You are so stubborn!"

Hearing this, Kakashi couldn't help but frown. He had already analyzed the pros and cons thoroughly, but the guy in front of him was still unyielding and reckless.
This made him think of his father who died in disgrace and misfortune.

"Listen carefully, Uchiha Ci, a ninja must be calm and use careful judgment! A ninja who does not follow rules and discipline is equivalent to waste!"

"If you still insist on doing this,"

Kakashi grasped the handle of the ninja sword with both hands, his face suddenly darkened, and anger flashed in his eyes.

"I'll be right here, breaking your legs!"

Uchiha Ci didn't find Kakashi's choice strange.

During this period, Hatake Kakashi put the mission first. Besides, Uchiha Ci was going to rescue a "comrade" from another village.
This action is tantamount to going against Konoha's will, so it is normal that Kakashi cannot understand it now.

Moreover, apart from the little old man Uchiha Setsuna who would blindly support him in doing anything, any other person from Konoha would probably think that Uchiha Ci's behavior was the result of a breakdown in his brain.

It is an act of treason!
Uchiha Ci didn't plan to explain any further. When he decided to follow Yuyagi En here, to this foreign capital, he had already made plans for the worst.

Kill the daimyo and everyone who stands in your way!

Whether it's from Kumogakure, Sandagakure, Kirigakure, or Iwagakure,

This also includes the possibility of making a break with the past identity at this moment!
Just for the little kid who bet everything on him and trusted him like a fanatic!
After going through so much,

After truly experiencing the pain of losing someone you cherish right before your eyes,

Uchiha Ci has long been unable to rely solely on insurance fraud and excuses that can be made up at any time to deceive his own heart.

He came here,
Just for fighting!

Just for revenge!

In order to let everyone in this world see what kind of end will come if you provoke Uchiha Ci!
And what a cruel and unforgettable revenge he is about to receive!

Yes, when I first met Yahiko, one of the three little Akatsuki in the Land of Rain,
He once said something very true,
"As long as you conquer the world and make it feel pain, the future you desire will arrive!"

What made Yahiko give up this idea and compromise with "weakness" was simply because his power was not strong enough!

His punches were not fast enough, nor were they hard enough!
But Uchiha Ci is different!
When his [Mind's Eye] awakened, he realized—

As long as you keep fighting, with your talent of a strong heart and the ability to use any kind of skill with ease, [Master of All Martial Arts] will allow you to do just that!
Gather thousands of abilities into one and reach the pinnacle!

The world will eventually lie at your feet!
What Uchiha Ci lacked was only time, only time to rush into extreme battles.
And time is exactly what Uchiha Ci, who has traveled to this point in time, has the most!
now,

Looking at Kakashi Hatake who had his sword drawn and pointed at him.

Uchiha Ci exhaled slightly, his face darkened, his brows slightly furrowed.

Then, he prepared to open his eyes, using the natural energy provided by the Sharingan, the Blood Dragon Eye, and the transformed blood vessels around his eyes.

Using the combined power of the three, as well as the new pupil technique that had almost been nurtured in the eyes,

He will knock down Kakashi with the fastest speed and in one move!

However, at this moment,

"You are wrong, Kakashi!"

A gentle voice suddenly sounded behind Kakashi.

Snapped!
A hand wearing a blue arm guard patted Kakashi's shoulder, and then a young man with blond hair and blue eyes, gentle and handsome face, appeared behind Kakashi.
It was Uchiha Ci's long-lost Minato Namikaze!
"In the world of ninjas, ninjas who break the rules and don't take their mission seriously are called trash. But those who don't know how to value their companions are even worse than trash!"

Unlike his gentle voice, Namikaze Minato's expression was very serious at this moment.

"Minato-sensei!" Kakashi was startled and turned his head to look at Minato. Then, a trace of indignation quickly rose on his face. His fair face instantly turned red. He couldn't help but clenched his fists, "How could it be that even Minato-sensei would think so!"

"Obviously."

Looking at Kakashi like this, Minato was a little speechless for a moment, not knowing how to persuade him.
However, at this time, Uchiha Ci shook his head, having lost his patience.

He immediately took a quick step forward and instantly appeared behind Kakashi. At the same time, he predicted the opponent's reaction with the swordsmanship of the Uchiha style, and raised his hand to grab the White Fang short sword that Kakashi swung back.

White Fang's swordsmanship is also within the scope of Uchiha style swordsmanship.

Then, a knife-hand strike hit Kakashi on the back of the neck.

Peng!
Kakashi responded and fell into Minato's arms. Minato sighed, picked him up, disappeared from the spot in an instant and placed him somewhere else, and soon appeared again at the same place.

"I'm sorry, Kakashi hasn't gotten over his emotional issues yet."

He scratched his head and smiled awkwardly at Uchiha Ci.
As a teacher, he was frustrated that his teachings to his students were not effective at all.

"Little things~"

Uchiha Ci shook his head and looked calmly at the young man who appeared in front of him.
Without actually experiencing a life-and-death decision and without Obito's sacrifice, it is too empty to think that you can change a person, especially a stubborn ninja, with just a few words.

Kakashi's perception in this regard will ultimately have to be changed by Uchiha Obito. Uchiha Ci is not his father and doesn't want to interfere in this.

"Anyway, quit—"

At this time, Minato looked at Uchiha Ci, whose arms, legs and feet were intact, heaved a long sigh of relief and smiled. The huge rock that had been pressing on his heart finally fell to the ground.

"Welcome back!"

However, facing Minato in front of him, Uchiha Ci couldn't bring himself to smile.

"Minato, let's talk about reminiscing about the past later."

He pointed to the noisy city center and asked in a deep voice:

"You're not trying to stop me from going there like Kakashi, are you?"

Compared to how easily he dealt with Kakashi, Namikaze Minato, who had mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Rasengan Rin, and whose sharp combat reflexes were no less than his own, found it quite difficult even for Uchiha Ci now.

"No!"

However, Minato smiled slightly and explained:
"I'll go with you!"

"Don't worry, I won't stop you from doing anything, and as a companion, I will help you!"

"It's just that some things require you to witness them with your own eyes before making your choice!"

Uchiha Ci raised his eyebrows.

"Even if I will kill the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning!?"

Minato raised the corners of his mouth, smiled confidently, raised one hand, and held it in front of Uchiha Ci.

"Even if you will kill the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning."

Uchiha Ci then revealed a smile and raised his hand as well.

"Snapped!"

The two palms hit each other, and they smiled at each other.
"Then let's go make a scene!"
