[Hokage] Terukawa

rain.

lightning.

Bloodshot eyes.

——The overwhelming rain is no longer as fine as silk, and every drop of water is so heavy that it hurts people's skin; Press the last bit of air in the lungs out of the body; the ground is tilted, no longer stable, and every step you take seems to be bumping on the top of the waves, and it seems to be floating in the clouds.

At this moment, the rainwater from all over the world seemed to gather around him, wrapping his head and sealing his ears, nose, mouth and eyes.He couldn't help opening his eyes wide, almost staring blankly at the ripples of the water rolling out layer after layer in front of his eyes.As a result, the scene in front of his eyes became blurred, and he could no longer hear anything other than the noise of rain falling and flowing.

——What are they covering up?

He inexplicably began to question.

They must be hiding something.

So he commanded himself, "Keep your eyes open."

Immediately afterwards he commanded the world, "Put away the rain and the fog, so that I can see clearly."

The world obeyed his orders and did not.It didn't take away the rain, fog and noisy rain in front of his eyes and ears, but pierced a bolt of lightning from an unknown place that could pierce everything, but the lightning didn't pierce him, but pierce not far away what others.

however……

From the second the man was pierced by lightning, every beat of his heart turned into thunder that shook his ears!His body was trembling, his heart was trembling, his brain was trembling... His internal organs were trembling endlessly!His heart turned into a volcano that could not stop erupting, and what burst out with every beat was not warm blood but hot lava!He felt himself burning!All internal organs are burning!The scorching heat scorched his eyes, and he felt scorching heat falling uncontrollably from his eye sockets!The scorching heat scorched his nostrils, and he couldn't smell anything other than the stench of his being burnt!The scorching temperature carbonized his lips, and he couldn't even taste blood except for the bone-piercing pain!

—He seems to have become a fire from hell bursting from the deep rock to the surface!

Why did the fire of hell come to the world?

Who died?And who opened the door to hell?

Why did the fire of hell come to the world?

Who died?And who opened the door to hell?

Why did the fire of hell come to the world? !

Who died? !And who opened the door to hell? !

The warm brown was soaked in blood into a thick and dead red black, and the eyes were scalded by lightning, and the softness and agility of the past were burned away, and they looked over from a distance, surrounded by emptiness and nothingness, like an abyss or a black hole - the ninjas looked at this kind of eyes There is a special awareness, they call it - the death stare.

"Lin..."

"Lin...!!"

Uchiha Obito sat up abruptly, finally waking up from the nightmare.He widened his eyes and checked his surroundings... there was still nothing but the lighting fixtures in the ground.

Obito barely calmed down his shortness of breath, and lay down again as if exhausted, but he probably forgot that he was being confined, and that he was sleeping on the ground before, so, with the sound of "boom", With a loud noise, Obito's facial features wrinkled together.

"Hiss...It hurts, it hurts..." He gasped through his teeth, and immediately turned over and curled up his whole body.The back of his head still hurt, but he didn't hug his head, but wiped the sweat from his palms on the clothes he could touch, and then covered his left chest—to be exact, covering his head. Live in the heart.

Heart beats like a drum.The mass of flesh that had been severely injured but is still alive today is pulsating extremely actively under his blood, bone and flesh, thump, thump, thump, in his ears, the sound of the heartbeat It was no longer as exaggerated as in the dream, but it was still unbelievably noisy. If it wasn't for Obito's sanity at this time, he would almost think that his hands holding his heart were also trembling and numb due to the abnormal heartbeat.

A nightmare is a nightmare, a nightmare is a nightmare.

Lin has not, and will never be killed by Chidori... No, she will be fine if she is pierced by lightning.

Yes, of course she will be all right—a beautiful girl like her is born to take root and grow in a place with rich soil, watered with milk and honey, and then bloom in the most beautiful season and under the clearest sky. flowers.

She's like this...she's like this...

Why is she lying motionless on Kakashi's back like this? !

No... no no, I'm too excited, calm down... yes, I should be calm, calm like Minato-sensei, calm like Kakashi.Body stillness doesn't just mean death, it can also be a coma, or just feel tired and fall asleep accidentally.

...So at that time...why did Bai Jue take me away forcibly?Still anxious, I only had time to glance at it, but I didn't meet Kakashi and the others.Isn't he negotiating with Kakashi and the others?Could it be that the negotiations were not pleasant?But is there any causal relationship between the unpleasant negotiation and taking me away directly?Why did you put me in confinement after you came back?

Ah... It's nerve-wracking, I can't figure it out at all!

Is it because I left the ground without authorization?Ah... After going out and using cuttings to save people, Bai Jue did tell me not to go out again, but I still sneaked out... Could it be because of this?

Obito tried hard to think rationally.

But Grandpa Madara clearly said before that I can make my own choice, whether to go or stay depends on my own will, even if Grandpa Madara has fallen into a coma again now, what I said cannot be counted, right?

——What the hell is Bai Jue doing now! !

The cold sweat on the skin finally dried up in the damp and cool underground air, and Obito used his fingers to pull away the cold clothing sticking to his body, but when he inadvertently lowered his head, he found a few spots that had already faded on the front of the front. blood.He froze for a moment, rubbed it with his fingertips full of doubts—it was normal blood, but he couldn't tell if it was fresh or old.The underground environment is really not suitable for people to live in. The clothes all over his body are damp, so naturally he can't tell when the blood stains were stained.

……never mind.

Grandpa Madara was right. If a ninja wanted to trace the origin of every drop of blood on his clothes, he might not want to trace the origin of every drop of blood on his clothes until his next life.

"Bai Jue! The toilet circle is perfect!"

He shouted in the empty underground space, layer after layer of sound waves spread in all directions, and hit the wall at the end of all directions, returning little by little clear or vague echoes.Obito turned a deaf ear, just paused for a moment, and then called out again.

"I've calmed down - can I be released from the brig now?"?

Obito stopped talking after he finished speaking, and he leaned his ears against a rock wall, which was the door of the confinement room, the most evil door that he could not break through even with the most exaggerated wooden escape.He sank his breath, then ignored the layers of echoes that returned, and tried hard to distinguish the movement on the other side of the rock wall.

...no movement.

That's right, the underground environment is to Bai Jue what the water is to fish. They can go anywhere at any time without leaving a trace, and they can easily receive any information they want to collect .

...so they must have heard my cry.

They're just hanging out with me.

Obito scratched his head irritably, sighed, and wiped his face again. His palms were a little wet. Under the extremely dim lighting conditions, he couldn't tell whether it was cold sweat that hadn't dried or something that appeared unconsciously. Condensation.He took a few deep breaths, inhaled the humid and cool underground air deeply into his lungs and then exhaled slowly, as if this would take away the restlessness that was suppressed in his heart.

Fortunately, Bai Jue didn't make Obito wait too long.Before Obito's calmness and patience were completely exhausted, he finally saw a pale head protruding from the rock wall in front of him bit by bit.The expression on his head was twisted and weird as always, and he grinned on the edge of his emotional outburst, stared at him in an extremely slippery tone and said, "Hey, Obito~ You're finally awake~"

The corner of Obito's mouth twitched, but in the end he just squeezed his fist, took another deep breath, and didn't attack: "I've woken up several times... The point is not this, but why should I be confined? Still closed for so long!"

"Hey~ It's actually not as long as you think," Bai Jue on the rock shook his head artificially, "It's only been three days~ Such a little time is not enough for me to seriously develop a relationship What about a convenient philosophy~"

Three days of development?I'm afraid you're going to be constipated.

"Three days? You—forget it, I've made a decision, I want to go back to Konoha."

"Eh? Back to Konoha?"

Bai Jue seemed to be stunned for a moment, and his tone was a bit strange, which made Obito keenly detect something wrong.

"Is it so hasty?"

Obito shook his head in confusion: "Where is the rush? I have been here for long enough to cultivate, although I am very grateful to you and Grandpa Madara for taking care of me during this time, but I must go back to Konoha .”

Bai Jue didn't answer immediately, but looked at him with a strange look, until Obito almost stood on end, this guy suddenly twisted an extremely exaggerated and weird smile: "Obito, Your mood is very unstable, and it seems that you don't have enough sense of security."

"What are you talking about? Don't go around in circles. I've been imprisoned for so long. Don't expect me to speak well. I didn't understand a word of what you said—"

"——Then I can also think that Obito you are not, not, unaware of everything that has happened?"

The tone is the tone of the question, but the meaning expressed is unquestionable affirmation.

Obito's eyes trembled slightly, and in astonishment, he unconsciously took half a step back like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and then came back to his senses with exceptional sensitivity, and took a step forward decisively and directly, with Abruptly stretching his neck, Bai Jue's head, who approached suddenly with a somewhat disgusting gesture, met his eyes closely.

"what are you saying?!"

"What do you mean?!"

"What do you know?!"

With the crescendo of volume and tone, his teeth were bared, but a few strands of restless blood flowed faintly between the gaps.No one knows when it was bitten out, maybe in a dream just now, maybe now, or maybe both.

"Isn't it Lynn—isn't she?!"

"Hey, don't touch my head! The head is very fragile... Don't you already have the answer in your heart?"

Bai Jue, who had approached proactively just now, twisted his neck at this moment, avoiding Obito's hand that was reaching out to shake him.

"You're so emotional, Obito, why do you care about your little girlfriend so much?"

——Obviously, the question Bai Jue raised could no longer be answered.However, staring at Obito with its eyes wide open after getting its own reply and quickly retreating a few steps, muttering "impossible" and "it's just a dream", it felt as if it had already got the answer.

Hmm... It seems that both mentally and physically, they are exactly the same as Madara's long-winded one.

Never thought about it.

That's great, Madara.It has always been like this.

"You seem very unbelievable, Obito?"

Bai Jue's head twisted strangely.

"That's something that can't be helped. At least I've tried my best to save it. Unfortunately, um~ the result is not ideal. All kinds of resistance are complicated and strange. I haven't even understood the meaning of defecation, and of course I don't understand their thoughts. .”

What Baijue said didn't get Obito's response, but to be precise, it wasn't expecting or caring about Obito's response, so it continued to speak with no change in expression and tone.

"Well~ You seem to need to calm down, so stay here and calm down for a while~"

Bai Jue grinned strangely.

"Calm down and remember to knock on the wall, and then I will tell you everything you want to know. Don't worry, I won't leave you alone anymore, and it doesn't matter if you don't want to know those details at all. Madara said, The choice has to be made by oneself to make sense.”

After finishing speaking, its twisted and elongated neck began to shorten rapidly, and finally melted towards the inside of the rock wall blocking the way to take the soil. In just a few seconds, its pale complexion completely disappeared on the rock wall.Everything seemed to return to calm at this moment, as if nothing had ever happened.

----

"how is he?"

"The kaleidoscope has been opened, but I haven't noticed it yet. Generally speaking, it is as you expected, or even better than you expected, Madara. He is indeed a genuine Uchiha, and his blood is extremely pure."

Bai never dared to make trouble in front of Madara again, and scratched his head obediently.

"But it's so easy for him to believe that the little girl is dead, isn't it a little... too smooth?"

"Open the kaleidoscope directly? Barely qualified." The existence in the dark snorted coldly and said with a smile, "The plan has failed because of your incompetence. Naturally, all I can do is to leave him a little psychological hint and guide him to do a few things. A nice dream."

Thinking of his painful experience of being almost out of shape in the past few days, Bai Jue consciously shook his body, and quickly changed the subject: "Then what about the Yasaka? When I was in Kikyo Mountain, I possessed a sand that was afraid of death. Forbearance, I have observed him closely, he does have a different physique—"

"Different constitutions are different. I can't take care of many aspects. I can't pay too much attention to an unreachable individual just because of a legend of unknown origin," Madara said coldly, "If you have time and Call him when you have energy, now what I lack most is time and energy."

"But I always feel that this surname is very familiar..."

Bai Jue's voice gradually weakened.

"Do you want to continue to observe?"

"You said yourself that he is very cautious, so when he returns to Konoha this trip, he will definitely change his Anbu code name."

Babe sneered.

"If you can."
