Konoha: I, Uchiha, just want to die.

Chapter 377: Parting ways, communicating with spirits in the snake's belly!

Should I save my younger brother Feidan, or save the millions of people who suffered in this war?
The weight of life was weighed on the scale at this moment.
Like a passing tram,
A fateful wind quietly blew up, hitting hard.

but,
This question lingered in Uchiha Ci's impoverished brain for less than half a second.

He raised his hand and reached for the kunai in Yahiko's hand!
Jiraiya, who was supported by Konan, looked at this scene. As if he had a premonition of something, he slightly widened his eyes and looked at Nagato and Konan who were silent on the side with an embarrassed expression.
Just as Uchiha Ci's hand was about to reach for the kunai that was unfolded in Yahiko's palm,

A pale hand reached out and grasped his wrist.

Uchiha Ci raised his head slightly and looked at Nagato who appeared in front of him. He quickly went from being slightly surprised to slightly frowning, until his brows sank heavily and he looked at him coldly.
"What else?"

Nagato was silent for a while, then let out a breath.

"Uchiha Ci,"

"Since our first meeting in the Rain Country, we have always believed that you would bring peace to this world, and so we traveled thousands of miles from the Rain Country to come here."

"You should understand the weight of the choice you make now."

"If Iwagakure completes its mission and we fail to intercept them in time, their large forces will withdraw from the Land of Lightning, thus achieving great results."

"So,"

"This war that has been raging across the entire world, I don't know when it will end."

Uchiha Ci looked at him calmly, so calm that he seemed even indifferent.
"So, Hidan deserves to die?"

Under Uchiha Ci's cold questioning, as if it had nothing to do with him,
The expressions of Nagato, Yahiko, and even Konan, who was supporting Jiraiya from the back, all changed at the same time.

"so?"

Nagato's voice gradually rose from low to high, and then he roared. His face turned red and then blue.
"Let Iwagakure swallow up the fruits of Kumogakure's victory and further expand their war potential!"

“So who will suffer in the end?”

"They will increase their investment in the war and start a bigger war on the battlefield west of the Ninja World!"

"With the Rain Country as the core, the intensity of the war will expand to the surrounding Grass, Taki, and River countries!"

"In the end, the only one who will suffer the consequences of war will be our Rain Country!"

"It's our home!"

Veins popped out on Nagato's temples. He stared at Uchiha Ci intently. His face was covered with a layer of frost. His eyes seemed to be spitting fire. He shouted fiercely:
"Don't you understand yet? Uchiha Ci!"

"We firmly believe that you can bring peace, but now you want to bring us greater disaster! What a joke!!!"

"How thoroughly do we have to explain it to you before you can understand? To save a kid with the same physique as you who can't die, or to save the whole world!"

"It's such an obvious choice, what are you going to choose now!? You——"

"Nagato!"

Yahiko spoke calmly, stopped Nagato, and then raised his head and looked at Uchiha Ci.
After a moment's silence, he sighed.

"Uchiha Ci, this kunai was used by Jiraiya-sensei to save you from the battlefield."

"No matter what you choose, as an individual, as someone who cannot represent the lives of millions of people, I have no right to influence your decision, but I still hope you can consider it carefully."

Uchiha Ci didn't say anything, he just shook off Nagato's hand.

He looked around, and the entire battlefield seemed to be suddenly filled with the smell of gunpowder.

Nagato, suppressing his anger, stared at him, Konan was biting her lip, and the others frowned and stared at Uchiha Ci. After thinking for a moment, they turned their gaze to Yahiko and the other two.

The group that came around him seemed to be split into two parts all of a sudden.

Some of them were conquered by beating.

another part,

He hasn't been defeated yet.

The looks from both sides gradually became dangerous, and the atmosphere of confrontation became more tense.

Uchiha Ci narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze passed Yahiko and fell on Nagato behind him.

to be exact,

It fell on Nagato's eyes.

If time was not urgent, given the current situation, he wouldn't mind starting his future plans in advance and giving priority to completing the things that must be done before assassinating Uchiha Madara.

And at this moment,
Quietly,
A golden flash appeared between the two of them.

"Am I late?"

A slightly innocent voice sounded, and a young man with blond hair suddenly appeared on the ground. He wiped the kunai in Yahiko's hand with one hand, bent his knees and half-prostrated on the ground. With the other hand, he stretched out to his side and formed the "Wei" seal with a sword finger raised.

What a handsome appearance!

However.
No one cares about him.

Little Sun Minato Namikaze suddenly looked up with a confused look on his face, thinking to himself, why did no one react to such a handsome appearance?
He scratched his head and looked at the two stalemate parties.
"that."

However, before he finished speaking,
A little white snake suddenly emerged from the ground!
It quickly flew along Uchiha Ci's legs to his shoulders, and wrapped its tail around Uchiha Ci's left arm. The snake head stretched forward, pressed against Uchiha Ci's ear, and suddenly opened its mouth.
It was like a snake telephone, hissing and spitting out some meaningless sound.

Uchiha Ci, who possessed the talent of [Sage Transformation] and the ability to communicate with all things in nature, immediately understood what the little white snake, or rather, Orochimaru, was saying to him.

After a brief incident,
Uchiha Ci raised his head and looked at Yahiko and the other two indifferently without saying anything more.
He just reached out and ripped off the 'Zero' ring from his right thumb, which symbolized Zero and represented the leader of the Akatsuki organization.

Throw it on the ground.

It was thrown in front of the three people, rolled on the rock surface, and landed on the ground with a clang!

then,

He looked at the three people calmly and said lightly:

"Perhaps you three have misunderstood something from the beginning."

"Excuse me."

"I have never been a savior, and I can't save everyone. All I ask for is for the people I care about to live well!"

"As for you."

"Even if you have worked hard this time, I allow you to put aside your arrogance that makes me sick, and kneel down to beg Minato to help you."

then,

Uchiha Ci looked indifferently at Nagato, who was suppressing his anger, and at his pair of Rinnegan eyes with strange patterns.

"Nagato, I will give you two choices—"

"Destroy those eyes yourself, or I'll dig them out!"

"That is not something you are qualified to master."

After all,

Uchiha Ci looked around at the stunned expressions of the crowd and sneered disdainfully.
The next moment,
He raised his right hand and made the "Wei" seal.

boom!
A cloud of white mist suddenly rose up,

When the smoke cleared, everyone was shocked to find that Uchiha Ci had disappeared in front of them!

Only Jiraiya and Minato, who knew something about this technique, noticed something.
"This"

"Is it a reverse spiritualism technique? Someone took Ci away?"
