A meal, guests and host enjoyed to the fullest, during which Sasuke kept picking dishes for Mikoto, making Mikoto feel a little embarrassed, and asked Sasuke to pick some for Obito as well.
After all, in name, Obito was still Sasuke's father.
But Sasuke was very unwilling, no matter what, he wouldn't do it.
This instead made Itachi proud, he specially picked dishes for Fugaku to prove, 'See, I'm still the one who is filial to father, right?'
A simple meal made Sasuke feel a kind of unimaginable happiness, having the whole family together, living ordinary days.
Until, dinner was over, and he no longer had any reason to stay here, he had no choice but to leave together with Obito.
When the two walked out of Uchiha Fugaku's mansion, Obito slowly said, "This time, it can be considered that your wish has been fulfilled, so, Fugaku knows everything?"
Uchiha Sasuke's expression turned cold, "What do you mean by that?"
Obito said with some deeper meaning, "What do I mean, don't you know?"
"Sasuke, our identities, have already been exposed by you, right?"
Sasuke was silent for a while before saying, "So what if they have?"
Obito shook his head, "Not much, anyway Kushina also sensed it."
"Only, Konoha can't be stayed in anymore, our identities can't withstand any investigation."
Sasuke nodded, "No matter what, bringing me to this timeline, letting me meet this timeline's father and Itachi once, I do owe you one."
"So, next I will help you, only, have you inquired about your whereabouts in this timeline?"
Obito said, "I've inquired, if nothing unexpected, they should be in Amegakure. Looks like no matter what, we still have to go there once."
Just now during the exchange between Orochimaru and Fugaku, Obito collected information about Namikaze Minato performing missions in Amegakure.
At this period of time, he was still in Minato's team, so where Minato is, he should also be.
Although going to Amegakure carries the risk of running into Madara, having come to Konoha, Obito already discovered that this past timeline had already deviated somewhat from the one in his memory.
This made him rise a feeling of unease, many things had gone out of his control, becoming complicated and confusing.
So he must quickly complete his plan, to avoid further complications.
Sasuke didn't have much feeling about this, he just said, "Since they're in Amegakure, then let's go. There's also the real Madara there. I really want to know, what is the real Madara like."
Obito snorted and said, "Let's go."
After speaking, the two figures disappeared into the night.
———
Late night, outer region of the Land of Rain, two large armies were slowly approaching.
These were the forces of Kumogakure and Iwagakure.
A and Onoki seemed to have reached a certain tacit understanding, they did not fight each other, instead simultaneously surrounded the Land of Rain from all directions.
In the command tent, the Third Raikage A looked at Dodai and said, "Are you sure not a single Rain Shinobi or member of Akatsuki will escape?"
Dodai slowly said, "Confirmed, because Onoki is doing the same thing."
A nodded, gritted his teeth and said, "Hanzo is hateful, and Akatsuki even more so. The main target of this operation is Akatsuki!"
Dodai nodded, "I've already had the reconnaissance unit keep watch, if they encounter any Akatsuki member wearing the red cloud black robe, they will immediately report."
At this moment, suddenly, a Kumo-nin in Anbu attire instant-shifted into the command tent and reported, "Raikage-sama, we discovered two Akatsuki members, seemingly coming from the direction of the Land of Fire. Shall we arrest them?"
A revealed a trace of a smile, "I was just worried we wouldn't catch anyone to interrogate for intel, and now they come delivered to our door. Let's go, we'll capture them."
That Anbu was stunned, a bit uncertain, "Raikage-sama, you want to take action personally?"
A took off his ceremonial robe, revealing the strong muscles underneath and said, "Haven't had any exercise for a long time, this time I'll capture them myself."
That Anbu couldn't help but mock, "Those two Akatsuki members are really miserable, huh…"
———
On the other side, just coming out from the Land of Fire, heading towards the Land of Rain, Obito and Sasuke happened to run into the approaching Kumo-nin forces.
Uchiha Sasuke was seeing such a large-scale shinobi village army march for the first time and couldn't help but say, "What's going on? A large-scale unit is heading towards the Land of Rain, all of them are shinobi troops. Looking at the headbands they're wearing, they're Kumo-nin?"
Obito frowned and said, "This is the Third Great Ninja War period. It's not surprising to encounter forces from the major villages in the wild. But, are you sure the direction they're heading is toward the Land of Rain?"
Obito didn't remember there being such an incident during the Third Great Ninja War.
Uchiha Sasuke said, "I'm sure."
Obito was silent for a while and said, "Let's secretly take one person down and use Sharingan genjutsu to extract information."
Just as he said this, suddenly, both Obito and Sasuke stopped.
Because they discovered that from that unit, several presences had locked onto their location, and were heading in their direction.
Sasuke calmly said, "Seems like they noticed us, and with hostile intent."
Obito also furrowed his brow, "Although we didn't deliberately hide our presence, the Kumo army shouldn't be so wary of just two random passersby, right?"
"Looks like trouble is coming. Sasuke, I need to maintain some combat power, so I'll leave these people to you."
Sasuke snorted, but did not disobey Obito's words. He stepped forward to confront the seven or eight people approaching.
Sasuke spoke, "What do you all want to do?"
The leading Kumo-nin, around thirty to forty years old, asked with a fierce expression, "Are you a member of Akatsuki?"
Sasuke glanced at his own red cloud black robe and did not deny it, instead said, "So what if I am?"
That Kumo-nin said, "Good, then just stay obediently in place, wait for Raikage-sama to decide your fate."
After speaking, he instructed one beside him, "Aside from this one, there's another over there. You go chase him, don't let him get away."
Another Kumo-nin said, "Understood."
He was just about to instant-shift to Obito's side when, in the next moment, a figure suddenly appeared beside him.
Uchiha Sasuke wore a clearly impatient expression, "Raikage again and again and again, blocking my way."
Lightning flickered in his hand, quickly condensing into a lightning blade, and he slashed at that Kumo-nin.
That Kumo-nin hadn't expected the enemy to be so fast, the move so sharp, and even used the lightning style their own village was proficient in.
His eyes widened, watching Sasuke's lightning blade slash into his chest.
In the next moment, his entire body was sliced in two by Sasuke's blade, blood splattering everywhere.
The surrounding Kumo-nin were stunned. They hadn't expected an Akatsuki member to be so skilled, and to attack without any words.
The Kumo-nin who spoke earlier was even more enraged, pulling out the long sword on his back, "Brat, you're dead! I'm Tarai! My younger brother Tamai died at the hands of your Akatsuki in Amegakure! I will avenge my brother!"
Sasuke's gaze flickered. Although he knew this was a misunderstanding, he still said, "Avenge your brother? You really love your brother?"
Tarai's expression revealed a hint of disdain, "Who loves that useless trash? He couldn't even complete a mission in Amegakure. Even if he were alive, he'd be worthless."
"But he is my brother. If there's teaching to be done, that's my job. It's not someone else's place to lay a hand on him."
Sasuke's eyes turned dangerous, "I see. In that case, you can die too!"
After speaking, the lightning blade in his hand condensed again and slashed toward Tarai…
