Chapter 45 How to defeat Madara? 7th Hokage: I didn't defeat him.
"Sasuke..." Fugaku Uchiha began.
This time, the volume on his side was so loud that even the Uchiha Sasukes in various timelines who were unaware of the situation in the other connected worlds were taken aback!
In the Valley of the End 2.0, the severely injured Uchiha Sasuke repeatedly struggles to get up.
Father……
He couldn't be mistaken; it was his father's voice!
However, Sasuke's injuries were too severe, and he was unable to sit up several times.
"Let's focus on treating Sasuke first, Sakura," Naruto said. "I'm fine now."
Sakura understands Naruto and Sasuke; their wounds have stopped bleeding.
She hummed in agreement and placed her hands on Sasuke to expedite his healing process.
Kakashi then pulled Sasuke by the shoulder and silently draped his arm over him.
"Thanks……"
Sasuke's voice trembled slightly.
This thank you is for Naruto, but also for Kakashi and Sakura.
Sakura, who is naturally prone to tears, was overwhelmed with emotion when Sasuke said "thank you," and she burst into tears as if a dam had been broken, despite Naruto and Sasuke's injuries.
"Idiot..." she cried and cursed.
Kakashi also looked away. Since the Fourth Shinobi World War, he was probably more exhausted than anyone else, both physically and mentally, from this battle. "Never mind..." Just like Sakura, he uttered two soft words, extinguishing all grudges.
Fugaku Uchiha watched as 13-year-old Sasuke from the Valley of the End trembled with surprise, then as 17-year-old Sasuke from the Valley of the End, supported by Kakashi, stood up, and then as 16-year-old Sasuke from the Samurai Bridge, who had lost his sight while killing Danzo Shimura…
There's also the 12-year-old Sasuke from the Land of Waves mission, the 16-year-old Sasuke with Suigetsu, the 12-year-old Sasuke who was just assigned to Team 7 at the Ninja Academy, and the 32-year-old, weathered Boruto Sasuke.
Fugaku Uchiha: "I was arrogant because I possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan, and I saw countless futures. I wanted to mediate the conflict between the Uchiha and Konoha, so as Konoha's Fugaku, I repeatedly endured and yielded..."
Hearing about the Mangekyou Sharingan!
The Uchiha police officers looked at their captain in astonishment.
Fugaku Uchiha could only look sorrowful. As a father, he, like Minato Namikaze, did not want to see Sasuke and Naruto fighting to the death with hatred on their shoulders.
"But I never expected that in the end, all the hatred would be directed at you."
"I'm sorry," Fugaku Uchiha lowered his head, apologizing for failing to protect his son as a father. "These years must have been tough for you, Sasuke."
Almost at the same time!
Sasuke from all timelines shed tears at this moment.
Looking at her sorrowful father and mother, and her brother protecting her amidst the encirclement of Konoha ninjas, she cried uncontrollably, just like that evening when she learned the truth and renamed "Snake Squad" to "Hawk Squad".
Although the atmosphere was heavy, the Fourth Shinobi World War concerned the future of everyone.
Gaara, as the captain-in-chief of the Allied Shinobi Forces, looked at Naruto Uzumaki, who would later become the Seventh Hokage, and said, "Please tell us first how to defeat Madara Uchiha! Also, his Infinite Tsukuyomi plan seems to have succeeded? How was it broken?"
Judging from the final battle between Sasuke and Naruto at the Valley of the End, breaking the Infinite Tsukuyomi required Sasuke's Rinnegan, but how he obtained that Rinnegan remains a mystery.
"Hmm..." The Seventh Hokage, Naruto, thought for a moment, then told the Allied Shinobi Forces, "To be precise, we did not defeat Madara Uchiha. Instead, Sasuke and I were killed by him once."
"Huh?!" The Allied Shinobi Forces were dumbfounded.
Madara Uchiha, who was watching the show from a distance, was also slightly surprised.
He couldn't think of a third possibility besides winning or losing.
Furthermore, Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha were killed by Madara Uchiha?!
How did they end up alive in the future?!
Fourth Shinobi World War timeline—
The other five shadows jumped over one after another...
Tsunade: "That brat from back then has grown into a man even more outstanding than Jiraiya, always doing things that make people worry." She hadn't forgotten how Naruto and Sasuke were both badly injured in the Valley of the End 2.0 timeline, which scared her so much that she almost disregarded her status as Hokage and killed that brat Uchiha Sasuke!
"I'm surprised too, but now's not the time to talk about that!" The Fourth Raikage, A, interrupted. "First, explain what you mean by 'not defeating Uchiha Madara'!"
A is an extremely impatient person; all he wants to know right now is how to end this war and kill Uchiha Madara.
Everyone else was also waiting for this answer.
Black Zetsu, lurking in the shadows, gritted his teeth in frustration. Instead of seeing his mother in the future, he witnessed Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha fighting against the other members of the Otsutsuki clan! Black Zetsu was utterly enraged!
But after calming down, he realized that all of this should be in his best interest.
Let Madara be my shield, I'll go into hiding first, and let Naruto and Sasuke fight against the Otsutsuki that my mother hates. Once everything is over, I'll come back and reap the benefits!
Just imagining the frustrated faces of those Otsutsuki and these ninjas makes Black Zetsu want to laugh.
"There were too many things that happened during the Fourth Shinobi World War..." The Seventh Hokage pondered where to begin. "Oh, right, what about Obito?"
He didn't seem to see Obito Uchiha at all. "Is he in the Kamui dimension with Kakashi-sensei?"
"No, it seems he can't enter that space anymore," Hiashi Hyuga said. "He and Kakashi are on another battlefield now." He seemed to be deliberately avoiding mentioning the others.
"Is that so?" The Seventh Hokage, Naruto, pondered for a moment. "It seems he really will have to rely on Kakashi-sensei to break Madara Uchiha's control."
"What?!"
"You mean Madara Uchiha has been using some kind of technique to control Obito Uchiha?"
Amidst the doubts of the crowd, Madara Uchiha simply smiled and casually remarked, "Looks like we've been exposed, but it doesn't matter."
At the same time, a flash of light appeared in the distance from Raikiri!
Although Kakashi heard what the Seventh Hokage Naruto said because the mirror wall was huge enough, he had already used Lightning Blade when Naruto said those words, with the aim of killing a Ten-Tails split entity controlled by Obito!
Just like Lin back then...
Obito took the initiative to meet his Lightning Blade.
The sound of the Raikiri piercing through the body, the sticky feeling of flesh and blood in the hand, the kunai falling from Kakashi's hand, and the hand stuck in Obito's heart trembling uncontrollably.
"Obito...Obito..."
"cough--"
Obito Uchiha coughed up a mouthful of blood, took a few steps back, and looked at Kakashi with a forced smile: "Even if you knew, it was too late... cough... Madara placed a curse mark on my heart... ugh... thanks to you, Kakashi."
"Obito! You are—" Were you controlled by Madara Uchiha to do these things?
