Uchiha's Onmyoji

The sea, Turtle Island.

real waterfall.

It had been a long time since Naruto entered the illusion of a real waterfall, but there was still no movement.

Minato and Kushina were thinking about it and stayed by the pool unwilling to leave for a moment.

Kei went alone after dark and built a bonfire by the waterhole.

"Why did it take so long? Will Naruto be okay?" Kushina was anxious and began to talk involuntarily again.

"Nothing's wrong. Even if he fails, his life will not be in danger." Ji assured him countless times.

"But……"

Kushina felt Naruto's gradually weakening aura, and still couldn't calm down.

"Trust Naruto, trust our children."

Minato held Kushina's hand and met her eyes.

“He’s always been a strong kid and we’re proud of him.”

"I……"

Kushina gradually calmed down under Minato's gentle eyes, and the two hugged each other gently.

"Yes, I should believe him, Naruto will definitely do it."

Kushina muttered against Minato's shoulder.

"Well, let's wait for his moment of victory together."

Minato stroked her fiery red hair.

Under the moonlight, the water of the waterfall gurgled, and Naruto's young-looking parents hugged each other behind him, lovingly.

Ji, who was sitting by the bonfire, looked away uncomfortably, his face turned red by the bonfire.

In the fantasy of a real waterfall.

Naruto was breathing heavily as he faced his dark side.

"I told you so." Dark Naruto said with a joking smile, "I am you. Our taijutsu, ninjutsu, and fighting ideas are all the same. There is no way you can defeat me!"

"It's not over yet!" Naruto formed a seal with his hands, "Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"

"The technique of multiple shadow clones!!"

"How come, the number of shadow clones is the same."

Naruto looked at the row of dark Naruto shadow clones opposite in surprise.

"It's useless!" Dark Naruto laughed.

"let's go!"

"on!"

All the shadow clones started to move in an instant. The two shadow clones faced each other and disappeared quickly.

In the end, the two people's main hands holding the Rasengan collided, and they retreated and fell to the ground at the same time.

"Why." Dark Naruto stared at Naruto with hateful eyes, "Why are you obsessed with getting rid of me?"

"Because only by defeating you can I become a perfect Jinchuuriki." Naruto pointed at him.

"Is it really?"

Dark Naruto crawled on the water until he was close to Naruto.

"Or..." His red eyes stared at Naruto's blue eyes at close range, and malicious words penetrated his ears, "Or do you want to deny your past?"

"I didn't!" Naruto looked at him without flinching.

"Then why do you want to abandon me!!" Dark Naruto reached out and grabbed Naruto's collar and said viciously, "Now that you have found happiness with your parents, you want to leave everything in our past behind. Is it in the back of your head?"

"Indeed." Naruto reached out and held his hand, "I don't want to be immersed in the pain of the past. I want to become the Uzumaki Naruto of Hokage!"

"Hokage! Naruto!! Is Naruto that important? Have you forgotten how those guys in the village treated us in the past?"

Dark Naruto suddenly roared angrily.

"What should I do!" Tears flowed from his eyes, and he raised his fist and hit Naruto in the face, "You decide to leave the pain behind and move forward, where will I go!"

"You don't have to go anywhere."

Naruto suddenly reached out and hugged him tightly, saying in his ear: "You can become me, you are me."

"Am I you?" Dark Naruto's movements froze.

"I want to become Hokage. This is something we have already decided, isn't it." Naruto smiled.

"Thank you, always."

Naruto continued: "And just now, thank you for letting me understand that what I need is not to hit you and completely eradicate the darkness in my heart."

Dark Naruto's body softened and he slowly hugged Naruto's body back.

"What I should do." Naruto's voice was choked with sobs, "is to believe in myself, to believe in myself who is trusted by my parents and others."

"Thank you."

Dark Naruto's body turned into countless light spots and began to float away.

……

Moon.

Castle Hall.

After dinner, Uchiha asked Sasuke to stay.

"Tomorrow, I will send you to the battlefield of the Land of Rain." Uchiha Li said to Sasuke, "How you will act after that depends on your own judgment."

"What about you? Grandpa Izuna?" Sasuke asked.

Uchiha Li said: "We will intervene in the war at the right time. Before that, you can only rely on yourself."

Izuna, who was sitting next to Sasuke, raised her hand and patted Sasuke on the shoulder.

"Be careful, no one will protect you secretly this time."

"Huh, no need." Sasuke smiled confidently, "Is this the final trial?"

"You can say that." Uchiha Liya laughed, "I will judge based on your actions this time whether you can really take charge of yourself in the future."

"Then just watch me carefully!" Sasuke stood up from his chair.

"Ah, I will." Uchiha responded.

"I'll tell them to get ready."

Sasuke turned and walked towards the corridor on the side of the hall.

"correct."

He suddenly stopped, turned around and asked, "Where is that guy Naruto?"

"What, are you worried about him?" Uchiha Li was still sitting on the chair, supporting his head with his hands.

Sasuke denied: "No, that guy keeps shouting that he wants to surpass me. I want him to completely understand the gap between us."

"It's a pity." Uchiha said with a smile, "Minato was worried that the Nine-Tails in Naruto would be taken away by the Ten-Tails, so he had already taken him to hide before the war started."

"Humph."

Sasuke curled his lips in dissatisfaction and turned to leave.

"That's good, lest the guy at the end of the crane dies on the battlefield."

Uchiha looked at Sasuke walking away, then turned to look at Senna.

"Senior Izuna, are you satisfied?"

"What? Are you worried about him?" Izuna returned what Uchiha said to Sasuke.

"It's true that I'm not 100% assured." Uchiha Li said bluntly.

"Then we should let him go." Izuna stared at Uchiha Li seriously, "Only after experiencing the war can he grow more."

"I understand, don't worry, since I have decided, I will not go back on it." Uchiha raised his hands in surrender.

"It's best this way." Quan Nai said coldly, "Besides, you can't give him any help this time."

"This..." Uchiha Li advised, "That boy is not facing an ordinary enemy. I will always make sure that he will not die on the battlefield."

He blinked.

"Besides, if Sasuke dies accidentally, our Uchiha clan will be wiped out."

"We can't let him take any chances." Izuna stood up, "Besides, even if Sasuke dies unfortunately, won't you still be here?"

He looked up and down Uchiha Li's body: "Could it be that your body..."

"forgive me."

Uchiha Li raised his hands and surrendered again: "I don't like children. The task of inheriting the Uchiha clan must be left to Sasuke."

"Don't worry." He also stood up and said with certainty, "I will tell him that I won't help him this time, and that kid won't take any chances! Of course, I will keep him secretly. life!"

"As you like."

Quan Nai shook his head, turned and left.
