He has truly reached his limit.
but,
It's finally over.
This battle.
.........
Gazing at the boy who was leaving alone, Yamanaka Inoichi looked somewhat unnatural.
Please stay away from me!
Anyone could hear the unapproachability and resistance conveyed in the words.
just,
Anyone can understand the deeper meaning behind it.
That guy didn't want to drag himself into this mess.
Implicated in every sense of the word.
But why is he so fond of Uchiha Ara?
Upon closer reflection, even the person in question might not be entirely clear about it.
But if we really have to find a starting point, then it was probably after the huge changes that happened to the Uchiha clan that he began to pay attention to this boy.
That small body was clearly filled with immense sorrow, yet it still displayed a dignified and composed demeanor when facing the other clan leaders of Konoha and the Hokage.
Furthermore, he would retaliate fiercely against any incident that disgraced the family, regardless of who the perpetrator was, much like a mad dog. This was a fundamental difference from the previous head of the Fugaku clan.
The latter is merely relying on the Konoha Police Department to maintain the superficial glory of the Uchiha clan, while Ara is doing everything in his power to maintain the dignity of the Uchiha clan!
This can be seen from the attitude of the surviving Uchiha clan members.
I'm just doing what I believe is right.
Upon hearing Uchiha Ara's utterly heartless warning, Nara Shikaku, the commander-in-chief of the Konoha side on this trip, also felt a strange sensation.
Although, the other party's cold demeanor may very well be just a facade to deceive others.
However, considering the entire incident and its context, does this approach really have any special meaning?
No.
If the Yamanaka clan truly intended to unite with the Uchiha clan, or had some deeper plans, then Inoichi, who spent every day with them, would have already noticed something amiss.
To be precise, the 'irrationality' or 'impulsiveness' displayed by his close friend was mostly directed at Uchiha Ara alone.
【Ino-Shika-Cho】, a perfect combination renowned throughout the ninja world.
However, this does not mean that any ninja belonging to the Yamanaka, Nara, or Akimichi clans who gather together can inherit such a title.
To earn such a title, in addition to personal strength and the bond between teammates, one also needs to pass a test of character.
The Nara clan is known for its wisdom; they need to keep their minds sharp at all times to accurately control the overall situation.
The Akimichi clan is kind, and their kindness is so great that they unleash boundless power to protect their teammates.
The Yamanaka clan is meticulous, not only when using mental power techniques, but also when it comes to everything. When the Nara clan is absent or temporarily unable to take command, they usually step in!
In contrast, if the Nara clan is mostly rational, Akimichi is kind and gentle.
So, the mountains are a place of sensibility, a place where one can open a flower shop with peace of mind, remembering the name of every flower and every little detail about their habits.
In addition, the Yamanaka Ino family's offspring is a girl.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong about what I did regarding Uchiha Ara."
Nara Shikaku went to his old friend and sincerely apologized.
In fact, he sees things more clearly and comprehensively than anyone else.
However, as the supreme commander of Konoha's side, he was responsible for every single ninja on the battlefield.
Faced with such a choice between the greater good and his personal circumstances, he had no other option.
However, Uchiha Ara's estrangement from Yamanaka Inoichi before leaving caused a slight tremor in his heart.
Because he knew perfectly well that the guy could have simply left without caring about anything.
However, he still chose to return, risking a sudden attack by the Fourth Mizukage and a counterattack by the Fourth Raikage, to warn Yamanaka Inoichi to stay away from him.
This action truly broke through Nara Shikaku's rational defenses, penetrating straight into his soul.
It's important to understand that after the upheaval a year ago, the Uchiha clan was forced to withdraw from the center of Konoha's politics. Even Ara, the clan head, explicitly stated at his first clan head meeting that he would not interfere in any internal Konoha affairs.
But even so
Even with such a clear concession, it still caused it to be drawn into the vortex time and time again.
Now even his clansmen are not spared!
I was once proud to have fought on the same battlefield as your fathers.
Now, I am proud to be on the same battlefield as you!
Perhaps because the battlefield was over, Nara Shikaku's tense nerves relaxed, and he began to inexplicably recall things related to that little guy.
When he said those words, he must have felt incredibly indignant and powerless.
After all, Konoha never managed to give the Uchiha clan the glory, recognition, or acceptance they deserved.
Even in this war named after it, he, as the commander-in-chief, once had the thought of sacrificing Ara's life to stop the turmoil.
A major reason for this was that the Hokage was not present, and their side simply did not have the strength to contend with the Mizukage and Raikage.
But whatever the reason, now that he had such a thought, he wouldn't deny it.
"That guy is really good."
Nara Shikaku added another sentence.
"I understand, but you are the one who is wrong and should apologize."
Upon hearing this, Yamanaka Inoichi breathed a sigh of relief and responded, his eyes no longer showing any resentment.
They've been working together and accompanying each other for so long that they've long since achieved a unity of purpose, and even if there are conflicts, it won't affect their genuine feelings.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to execute such a perfect coordinated attack so quickly, rendering Darui of Kumogakure incapacitated. Keep in mind, this is a powerful figure whom A himself referred to as his 'second right hand'!
However, it was precisely because of Nara Shikaku's affirmation that Yamanaka Inoichi became convinced of one thing: everything he had done was not wrong.
The cold distance from the wilderness was simply a way of avoiding getting involved with other things.
"Well, then treat us to a barbecue as an apology afterwards."
After dispelling the multiplication technique, Akimichi Choza put his arms around the shoulders of the two men, a relieved smile on his face.
He wasn't good with words, but he cared more about the relationship between the three of them than anyone else.
"Huh? Us?"
Nara Shikaku accurately identified the key point, and his expression subtly changed.
This matter seems to have nothing to do with Akimichi or yakiniku!
However, he did not break this harmonious relationship. Instead, he turned to Jiraiya and said respectfully, "Lord Jiraiya, please come back with us this time as well."
If the other side hadn't arrived in time today, there would have been no way to break the deadlock, and those two from Kirigakure would have remained in a wait-and-see attitude.
Even if Uchiha Ara captured the high-ranking members of Kumogakure, it would be of no use.
That 'Shadow' who believes in power will truly make everyone in Konoha stay and die with him!
"Hmm, it's been so long since I left Konoha, it's time to go back and gather some materials."
Jiraiya replied thoughtfully, chin in hand.
These seemingly lighthearted words are actually meant to mask the sadness in their hearts.
Looking around at the devastation and smelling the lingering stench of blood, everyone's emotions, which they had barely managed to control, erupted once again.
Although the battle was short, the losses were considerable!
Over a hundred Konoha ninjas lie forever buried on this land, and the casualties and serious injuries accounted for one-third of the entire Konoha reinforcements!
Moreover, this doesn't even include the losses suffered by the Konoha garrison already stationed here, or the first wave of reinforcements!
As he stepped across this land completely stained with blood, even the somewhat cynical Jiraiya couldn't help but turn around and bow slightly to the remaining 'medals'.
Sorry I'm late.
........
"What's going on with that guy?!"
"They actually managed to evade the Fourth Raikage's pursuit!"
"hateful!!"
As the three forces dispersed, a strange black and white entity quietly appeared on this deep red land, roaring loudly.
"It's Uchiha Shisui's Body Flicker Technique. I never expected that Shisui would teach him a technique that even Itachi didn't know!"
A hoarse response followed immediately.
If anyone else were here, they would definitely think this guy was talking to himself.
However, only it knows that the black part is the main body, the will left by the Great Mother, while the white half is a product extracted from the Outer Path Statue.
"What do we do next...?"
Obito is useless again!
The second half of this sentence, of course, is conveyed in one's mind.
"Let's go back to Amegakure first and have Pain focus on collecting the tailed beasts, and keep a close eye on Uchiha Ara's next move."
"There's a very high chance that guy is the reincarnation of Indra's chakra. He's just as powerful, just as gifted, and just as fond of acting alone."
"We absolutely cannot let that guy awaken his will; we must find a way to eliminate him!!"
As for Obito, that piece of trash.
[His identity as 'Ban' also needs to be maintained.]
