Chapter 46 : Crazy plan and talk.
🕑 Added 2021-07-07 13:38:01 +0000 UTCWithout anyone knowing, Homura slowly fell under the effect of Shisui's Kotoamatsukami, and with Shisui now experienced with people instructing their bodies to follow certain commands if they fall under a Genjutsu. He quickly took complete control of Homura's body and did not allow him to have any unwanted reactions.
As for how we will get the information from him. We will simply leave a communication device for him to retrieve.
Koharu watched as the bird caught the snake and flew away with a worried look feeling it was a bad omen for such a scene to appear beside them. What she didn't realize however is that it was indeed a bad omen and Homura beside her was no longer the same...
-------
Meanwhile outside the range of the sentries; Itachi sat on the ground and said with a tired but excited face "Finally we did it!"
Shisui nodded in agreement as for me I was too tired to even respond "Yes, I still can't believe we actually did it" said Shisui as his eyes turned back to normal only a trail of blood leaking from his right eye indicated what just happened.
Indeed our crazy plan was simple, we used the transformation Jutsu on stones we found on the ground to transform them into mirrors and my task was to plant them on the places where Itachi instructs me.
He used his transformed summon to observe the landscape for this; while Shisui used his summon to help cover any mistakes I make like the shadow incident.
All this was for one purpose and it was to reflect Shisui's eyesight at the right moment to make eye contact with either Koharu or Homura.
For this to succeed, Itachi had to be very precise with the placement of each mirror and calculate everything from the reflected eyesight, the place where the caravan's going to pass, and how to make the mirrors hard to detect by making them the right size and put them in places where they won't reflect the sunlight, etc ...
This required great intelligence and skill, something Itachi possessed in abundance as he applied the way he throws his shurikens and how he makes them ricochet from one another to hit a target from impossible angles for this.
Then I made a shadow clone and instructed him to turn into a snake and wait beside the last mirror while Itachi after we finished planting the mirror waited with his bird for the right time to attack the snake I left and cause a disturbance that would draw the attention of those two mummies.
This was our plan, where the margin for error was so thin it was even thinner than Sakura's chest...
Now all that's left is to plant the communication device so we simply checked the map of the land of fire and calculated where they will pass by and have some rest because it's impossible for them to only stop at night.
At least that's what we thought but apparently, those elders were so paranoid especially when they saw the bird catching the snake incident causing them to march the whole day and only stopped at night.
Because of this we had to follow them the whole day and we kept getting closer and closer to the land of rain but finally, when we arrived at around a day's distance from the land of rain we saw a river and Shisui quickly manipulated Homura to instruct people to camp near it as we quickly planted the device for him somewhere there before they arrived.
After we confirmed that he received the device, we finally heaved a sigh of relief as now our mission was officially over and we only had to spread some transmission seals for the device to keep working even from a long distance.
At this moment Itachi who felt a huge weight in his heart finally spoke "Do you guys think that there's really someone behind them and they intend to attack the village?"
Shisui knew the answer but he didn't want to worry his friend even more so I said "What if that's the case?"
Itachi looked troubled and said, "I don't know, there are many innocent people inside those clans that were forced to follow their elders, if a war breaks out, they will only die pointlessly!"
Shisui looked sad remembering how they were willing to use the formation of death indicating just how this situation is going to end...
"Itachi, stop bitching around as if you are the only one who has emotions and doesn't like war," I said as I started getting annoyed with this kid.
"I don't thin-" Itachi tried to retort in anger before I cut him off.
"Power!" I said.
"What do you mean?" Itachi said.
"That's your answer, grow stronger, strong to the point that no one will dare to start a war for fear that you will get involved, that's how you create peace" I said seriously causing both his eyes and the silent Shisui's eyes to light up and I continued.
"As for how you keep the peace, you will have to teach it for the next generations to carry your will correctly but even then it won't be enough. Konoha is the best example" I said as I shook my head at the two kids in front of me.
"Hashirama preached for the will of fire, and he strove his whole life to bring peace to this world by sending good intentions to other villages. Yet the moment he died, those same villages used his good intentions mainly the tailed beasts as tools for war, the Uzumaki clan that his wife belonged to that wanted to live peacefully were betrayed and killed and even his body wasn't spared and was used for evil experiments. This is your future if you continue with the same mindset" I said as I looked at them with a cold gaze that extinguished the light that started blooming in their eyes.
They both looked broken at the reality they couldn't escape and I couldn't help but laugh "hahaha why are you two looking like this?"
Itachi grabbed me by the collar in anger and was about to punch me but Shisui held him back and shook his head at him and Itachi slowly calmed down a little " I am sorry but please don't laugh at my dream" Itachi said.
"I am not laughing at your dream, I am laughing at your stupidness," I said and Itachi's anger started rising again but I continued.
"You need to understand that this is humanity, greed, envy, pride, hatred and many other things will never allow us to truly live in peace but what you can do is achieve peace in your lifetime the way Hashirama did" I smiled at him " As for what comes after you, that's for the next generations to worry about you idiotic kid" I said as I used my index and middle finger and poked his forehead the same way he does to Sasuke.
Both Itachi's and Shisui's eyes widened at my words and they felt like they were enlightened and only woke up when I poked his forehead making him blush in embarrassment for being treated like this by another kid but the rising thoughts in his heart quickly drowned all his other feelings and Shisui felt the same way.
'Grow stronger and bring peace to the world in our lifetime as for whether it continues after our death, that's up to who comes next ...
