Chapter 98 - Itachi vs Sasuke, Tobirama vs Orochimaru, Everyone vs Hiruzen

[Uchiha Mikoto @ Itachi @ Sasuke:

You two are real brothers.

If you have something to say, talk it out properly—stop fighting!]

[Uchiha Xiyou: Clan Head! Madam!

I support Sasuke!

Our Uchiha clan was exterminated by Itachi!]

Mikoto and Fugaku didn't respond.

No matter what…

Itachi was still their son.

And he was brilliant.

And as the clan head, Fugaku was well aware—

the destruction of the Uchiha clan

was a conspiracy by Danzō and the Third Hokage.

[Itachi @ Entire Uchiha Clan:

Since Sasuke already knows where I am…

And since you want to kill me—

If you want to die, come find me.]

In his heart, Itachi thought:

Luckily… it's been so long since I've seen my dear little brother.

And Sasuke had obtained a Shapeshifting Pill.

If Sasuke wanted to kill him,

he would definitely swallow the pill that multiplies all strength tenfold.

Which meant…

Sasuke would crossdress.

Just imagining Sasuke in girl-form—

Itachi was filled with deep… anticipation.

Chat Group

[Second Hokage Tobirama @ Orochimaru:

Didn't you want to destroy Konoha, and Edo Tensei me and my brother?

Hurry up then! What are you waiting for!?]

[Orochimaru:

Second Hokage-sama, since you already know you'll be resurrected by me,

you clearly have a method to break my control.

So why would I idiotically summon you now?]

[Tobirama:

Of course I can break it!

Edo Tensei is MY ninjutsu!

And since you're aware of that—

explain to me why you shamelessly claimed Edo Tensei was yours!?]

[Orochimaru:

True, you invented Edo Tensei.

But the one who truly used it, developed it, and made it famous—was me.

So saying it's "my Edo Tensei" isn't wrong, is it, Second Hokage-sama?]

[Tobirama:

If Edo Tensei hadn't been classified as a forbidden technique,

you think you'd have had the chance to "develop" it!?

Use it if you want—

but don't claim it's yours!

And you even dared to cast it on me AND my brother!]

[First Hokage Hashirama @ Orochimaru:

Let's talk about you wanting to destroy Konoha.

Konoha is something Madara and I built with great effort.

Even if I forgive you—

Madara definitely won't!

Right, @Madara?]

[Madara:

Hashirama!

My entire Uchiha clan was exterminated by your Hokage successors.

What do you think?]

[Madara @ Orochimaru:

You dared summon Hashirama with Edo Tensei…

and at such a weak, humiliating level!?

You made people laugh at Hashirama!

Which means they're also laughing at ME!

Just wait!]

[Tobirama:

Orochimaru!

Hurry and Edo Tensei me and my brother!

Don't worry—

we won't kill you immediately.

I'll deal with that Monkey and Danzō, my unfilial disciples, FIRST.

@Danzō —

don't think staying silent means I'll spare you!]

[Danzō @ Tobirama:

Teacher, I was wrong!

Everything I did was for the village!

The Uchiha are an evil clan—

to protect peace, they had to be destroyed!

Teacher, wasn't that what YOU thought too!?]

[Entire Senju Clan @ Danzō:

Oh?

So what about us?

Are we an evil clan too?]

[All those killed by Danzō @ Danzō:

Yeah—

what about US?]

[Danzō:

I didn't do anything wrong!

Everything was for the village!

And all of this was done together with the Third Hokage!

HE was the mastermind!

@Sarutobi Hiruzen]

[Hiruzen @ Danzō:

Old friend…

I've tolerated you for years!

And now you're making ME take the blame alone!?

Do you want me to reveal YOUR dirty deeds!?]

[Danzō @ Hiruzen:

You think your dirty deeds end with the ones already exposed?

I have the full records.

Shall I reveal them to everyone?]

[Tobirama @ Hiruzen @ Danzō:

You two disgraceful old relics—

SHUT UP.

Wash your necks and wait for death.]

Root Base.

Danzō slammed the table repeatedly.

"Damn scroll!

Damn rankings!"

"Not only did they ruin all my plans—

they exposed every one of my secrets!"

"Now I can't become Hokage—

and even my LIFE is in danger!"

"What do I do!?

What should I do!?"

Then he thought—

If the top-ranking White Yan can help me…

everything can be solved.

He opened the member list

and quickly found White Yan—

the group owner.

A spark of hope lit in his chest.

He didn't @ White Yan immediately.

Instead, he summoned Root members.

"Go investigate this White Yan!

Carefully!

Do NOT upset him even the slightest!"

If they found White Yan,

Danzō would visit him personally.

If not…

He'd risk tagging him in the chat.

[Sasori of the Red Sand @ Orochimaru:

Don't use Edo Tensei.

Come to the Rain Village.

I will kill you myself.]

[Chiyo @ Sasori:

You've wandered enough these years.

If you're done drifting, come home.

I miss you.

The Sand Village needs you.]

[Sasori:

Spare me.

I will NOT return to that rotten village.]

[Chiyo:

Why must you be like this?

The Sand has changed.

And I really, truly miss you.

I dream of seeing you again.]

[Sasori:

Don't joke.

If you really wanted to see me—

you know where I am.

Come to the Rain.

Whether you make it back alive…

I can't guarantee.]

[Chiyo:

Sasori… must it be this way?]

[Sasori:

I already said—

I will NOT return to that village!

/Fire-spitting]

[Deidara @ Orochimaru @ Sasori:

Yeah! Don't use Edo Tensei!

Your life is MINE to take!

Don't fight me for it, Sasori!

Mm!]

[Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki @ Deidara:

Little Deidara…

If you've made enough trouble, come home.

Your fight with Sasuke—

I saw your art.

Come back.

I won't stop you from pursuing art anymore.]

[Deidara @ Ōnoki:

Don't be naïve, old man.

I'm not going back!

And you're mocking me, aren't you!?

Mm!]

[Ōnoki:

How am I mocking you?]

[Deidara:

You KNOW I self-destructed

and STILL couldn't kill Sasuke—

and yet you bring it up!?

Is that not mockery!?

Mm!]

[Ōnoki:

You may have lost,

but your art was witnessed by the entire ninja world.

Even the Pure Land may have seen it.]

[Deidara:

After watching Madara and Hashirama fight—

THAT is true art!

I'm far from that level!

I must continue improving!

Mm!

@Hashirama @Madara /Worship]

[Fourth Kazekage Rasa @ Deidara:

Indeed.

Those of us in the Pure Land saw your fight as well.

@Orochimaru

Explain your sneak attack murder of me!]

[Orochimaru:

Oh please.

I'm right here in the Konoha exam arena.

Whoever wants to kill me—

come on.]

Orochimaru thought:

Everything's exposed anyway.

Konoha won't let me go.

Might as well stir the pot even more.

[Rasa:

Orochimaru, just wait!

If I get resurrected,

I'll settle this immediately!

If you hadn't ambushed me earlier—

you could NEVER have killed me!]

[Orochimaru:

Quiet down, corpse.]

[Random Pure Land Ninja:

WHAT DID YOU SAY!?]

[Tobirama:

Unfilial brat!

Say that again!?]

[First Raikage A:

"Corpses should be quiet," eh?

Big talk!]

[Second Kazekage:

I won't shut up!

Come bite me!]

A wave of Pure Land spirits jumped out to roast Orochimaru.

And Orochimaru—

wasn't scared at all.

[Orochimaru:

Hmph.

You're all dead.

You can only speak through this chat.

What can you do to me?]

[Madara @ Orochimaru:

Look at THIS—

[Resurrection Coin]

Still think we can't "do anything" to you?]

[Orochimaru @ Madara:

Wait—

we both want to destroy Konoha!

The enemy of my enemy is my friend!

Let's not kill each other!]

[Hashirama @ Madara:

Madara!

Konoha is our joint creation!

You haven't forgotten, right?]

[Madara @ Hashirama:

Hashirama!

I'll kill Orochimaru after I revive.

As for Konoha—

I'm destroying it.]

[Naruto @ Madara:

I won't let you destroy Konoha!

Never!]

[Madara @ Naruto:

Nine-Tails brat…

I can crush you with one finger.]

[Kushina:

Uchiha Madara—

TRY touching my son!]

[Minato:

Madara, bullying a child doesn't suit you.

Dare to wait until Naruto grows up?]

[Sasuke @ Madara:

Madara-sama!

Naruto is MY opponent.

You don't need to kill him.

I'll defeat him myself!]

Sasuke thought:

Naruto… if Madara attacks you, you'll die instantly.

This is all I can do for you.

If you don't want to die—become stronger.

[Madara:

Fine.

Hashirama keeps insisting that the Nine-Tails brat is Konoha's hope.

And even though you're "short and fast,"

you're decent.

I leave the Nine-Tails brat to you.]

[Sasuke:

…What do you mean "short and fast"!?]

Fugaku and Mikoto immediately panicked, recalling that meme.

They feared Sasuke would break mentally if he learned the truth.

Both rushed to cover for him.

[Fugaku:

Madara-sama is PRAISING you!

"Fast" means your movement speed is fast!

"Short" means your hand seal time is short!

Right, Madara-sama!?

@Madara /pleading]

[Mikoto:

Yes yes!

Sasuke, it's praise!

@Madara /begging]

[Sasuke:

…Is that so?]

[Madara:

Of course I'm praising you—

praising you for being both fast AND short.]
