Forced to sell misery

In the Nanga River, the water suddenly began to boil.

Black flames burned on the water and soon spread to the entire lake!

"That is?!"

Itachi stepped back quickly.

In an instant, the surface of the water exploded—a claw burning with black flames broke through the surface of the lake and stretched out!

Then, the broken tail and limbs...

Unlike the Four-Tailed Demon Fox mode whose body surface is covered with the highly corrosive Nine-Tailed Chakra, what now appears in front of everyone is a monster with black flames burning all over its body, which looks like a human but not a human, and a fox but not a fox!

The monster jumped out of the lake and pounced on Itachi's Susanoo!

The black flames entangled with the burning red chakra flames.

However, this time it was the black monster that suppressed Itachi's Susanoo -

The Susanoo summoned by the power of Jingye's Mangekyō Sharingan is not an ordinary Susanoo at all!

What's more, the situation is much more complicated now!

Itachi's red Susanoo was knocked down, and the black monster roared like a beast and tore the red Susanoo with one claw.

The black flames on the monster's body passed through Susanoo and were about to burn Itachi's body!

The pattern in the pupil spun, and blood flowed from Itachi's left eye—

Amaterasu!

A ball of black flame appeared out of nowhere and entangled with the black flame that burned into Susanoo, the two burned each other and canceled each other out...

Sure enough...that black flame is Amaterasu!

It turns out...it's really you.

Why... did it turn out like this.

Itachi lowered his eyes, looking at the palm that was injured by his nails, and suddenly felt very tired...

"Sorry, Jingye."

Itachi murmured, he remembered that day - the day he thought he had lost Jingye -

"Sorry... Itachi." At that time, Jing Ye looked at him with a smile and said,

"Although I couldn't bear your fate, I tried to change it..."

But…but, it’s so painful…Itachi.

I'm not as strong as I thought...

This world makes me despair...

Because I once hoped so much... hoped... that everything could change, but...

Still got to this point.

"If possible, these eyes are yours."

"I... I also hope that you can take my place... and see the future..."

"sorry……

You have told me many times, please forgive me.

Now, it's my turn to tell you -

Please forgive me, Itachi."

……

Itachi quietly looked at the unidentifiable Susanoo monster in front of him.

"What do you want me to forgive you for..."

Itachi murmured

Now he has lost the will to continue fighting.

However, at this moment, the black monster swung its claws again -

Itachi's Susanoo seemed to be about to dissipate, and it was impossible to defend against it!

Are we going to kill him...just like this?

Killed by Jing Ye.

"If you dare to die in front of me, Itachi!"

For some reason, he remembered Jing Ye's threatening words again.

Die in front of you... Die in your hands...

If this can wake you up, Jing Ye...

Taking off the Anbu mask from his face, Itachi slowly closed his eyes.

……

"What are you doing?"

Suddenly, a voice sounded——

Itachi widened his eyes in surprise, and saw the body of a person burning with blue flames——

The Fourth Hokage?!

-

"Is that...Minato?"

The third generation couldn't believe his eyes!

"Teacher?!" Kakashi widened his eyes and muttered. He broke free from the Anbu who was supporting him and staggered forward a few steps. That figure was clearly imprinted in his pupils -

"It's the Yondaime-sama Hokage!"

"Yondaime-sama...he's here to stop this monster!"

Someone shouted in surprise.

"Yondaime-sama!"

"Yondaime-sama!"

……

Everyone shouted in unison - for the man who made people feel inexplicably at ease just by looking at him, the Fourth Hokage of Konoha!

As for why the Fourth Generation Minato, who had clearly died in the Nine-Tails Rebellion, suddenly appeared here...

It doesn’t matter anymore!

"No... in that state!" Looking at the blue flame burning on Minato's body, the Sandaime keenly discovered that something was wrong, "That is..."

-

Minato picked up Itachi and dodged the attack from the Susanoo monster.

The two landed on the river bank, Minato looked at Itachi, as if he understood something...

"You are Jingye's elder brother... No, younger brother... No, that's not right, anyway, you are a brother, Itachi-kun?"

"Yes." Itachi's heart was filled with shock - not only because of the sudden appearance of the Fourth Hokage Minato, but also because of the information revealed in Minato's words -

The Yondaime knows Jing Ye, and it seems like they have a very close relationship? !

"You have done a good job, now leave it to me."

Minato gave Itachi a warm smile, then turned to face the Susanoo monster, his expression becoming more serious than ever before—

“There’s still time…”

Now he was only in spirit form, without a physical body, so he had no way of using ninjutsu or other powers, but...

"Nine Lamas!"

His soul is still bound to the other half of Yin Jiuwei!

"Oh?"

In the world of consciousness within the soul body, a pair of scarlet pupils opened,

“Since you have briefly met my half, why do you think I will help you?!

Or is it because of that nasty brat from the Uchiha family who offended old man Liudao? ! "

"No way?" Minato sighed, "I thought Kurama would understand my feelings."

"Although I acknowledge your strength, I will never help you." Yin Jiuwei was stunned for a moment, but still said arrogantly.

"Although what Jing Ye did was indeed wrong, but -" Minato laughed, "He is also my disciple..."

Looking at Kagamiya who had completely lost his mind, immersed in darkness, and transformed into a murderous monster, Minato closed his eyes and muttered something silently.

The blue flame burning on the surface of the body became brighter and brighter, but Minato's figure became more and more illusory.

He slowly floated up and came in front of the Susanoo monster.

"What are you going to do?" Kyuubi was shocked.

"When a disciple does something wrong, it is only natural for me, as their master, to make amends."

Minato showed his usual gentle and sunny smile, stretched out his hand, and pressed it on the forehead of the Susanoo monster in front of him——
