Chapter 102: Obito Uchiha's Death
If you can touch a soul, it means you can attack it. In the ninja world, there aren't any ninjutsu for cultivating souls.
Therefore, as long as Yue Yan puts on the Shinigami Mask, whether you're like a Tailed Beast that can regenerate or like Kaguya Otsutsuki who's immortal, once your soul is destroyed, you're all gonna kick the bucket.
After thinking it through, Yue Yan was extremely happy.
Looking at the soul in front of him, Yue Yan waved his hand and sent it to the Pure Land. Then he went back to rejoin Senior Brother Minato Namikaze and the others.
Yue Yan, who had just looked so bitter and resentful, now had a smile on his face. Sara tilted her head and couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.
"I heard from Mother that some people feel under the weather for a few days every month. Is Yue Yan going through that right now?"
Minato Namikaze, who heard this, twitched the corner of his mouth but didn't say anything.
Yue Yan, who had just walked over, didn't hear what Sara had said. Seeing Minato Namikaze still there, he was a bit confused.
"Senior Brother Minato Namikaze, why don't you spend a little more time with Naruto?"
As he said this, Yue Yan nodded in Naruto's direction.
Understanding what he meant, Minato Namikaze showed a free - spirited smile.
"No need. Compared to a fated encounter, I'm more concerned about your condition."
"Ah, sorry to worry you, Senior Brother Minato Namikaze. I'm completely fine now."
Seeing that Yue Yan wasn't faking it, Minato Namikaze didn't say anything more and they went over to Naruto together.
Then they went to the location of the Dragon Vein. Although Sara had closed the Dragon Vein, there was no guarantee that someone with ill intentions wouldn't open it again someday. So, Minato Namikaze decided to seal it.
Sara had no objections to this. After all, after going through so much, she knew that a power she couldn't control would eventually backfire on her. Instead of relying on the Dragon Vein to rebuild Roroku, Sara was more willing to rely on the hands of all the people of Roroku, even if it was extremely difficult.
Just as Minato Namikaze finished sealing the Dragon Vein, Naruto and Yamato were enveloped in a hazy and gentle light.
Knowing that they were going to be sent back to their parallel world, Minato Namikaze looked at everyone present and began to form hand seals.
"Everyone, although Naruto and the others are from a parallel world, many of us in the future already know about it. To avoid affecting the future, let's seal this [seal]."
"Even though I probably shouldn't bring this up, are you really gonna do it?"
Hearing Yue Yan's question, Minato Namikaze didn't reply. He just nodded with a smile.
Seeing this, Yue Yan sighed and began to construct a sealing ninjutsu to resist the [seal].
Although Yue Yan admired Minato Namikaze very much, he wasn't willing to have his memory sealed.
Suddenly remembering something, Yue Yan looked at Minato Namikaze.
"What about those ordinary people who left before?"
"I used the Flying Thunder God Technique to send them away and then sealed their [seal] of this."
"Alright."
Minato Namikaze had done a flawless job, and Yue Yan had nothing more to say.
Just then, Naruto walked up to Minato Namikaze and looked at him with a complicated expression.
"You're my Father, right?"
Naruto had inherited Kushina's carefree personality, but he also yearned for his Mother and Father to be by his side.
After learning from the Nine - Tailed Fox that Minato Namikaze in front of him was his Father, Naruto didn't know what kind of expression to use to face him.
Looking at Naruto, a gentle look flashed in Minato Namikaze's eyes.
"We'll meet again in the future, Naruto. I and Kushina have always loved you."
Hearing this, Naruto couldn't hold back his tears any longer. Just as he was about to give Minato Namikaze a hug, he was sent back to his original world by the Dragon Vein power.
At this moment, Minato Namikaze had finished forming the [seal] for the memory seal. An invisible force enveloped everyone present.
Except for Yue Yan, who had prepared himself in advance, and Sara, who seemed to have perceived something and frowned slightly.
When the invisible force dissipated, everyone looked confused and dazed. After coming to their senses, Minato Namikaze and the others immediately went on high alert.
But when they saw the [seal] in their hands and remembered what kind of seal it was, Minato Namikaze guessed what had happened.
Looking around at the badly damaged Roroku and the seal of the Dragon Vein, Minato Namikaze relaxed and smiled.
"It seems this mission has been successfully completed."
Hearing this, Chōza and the others, who still had the classic problem 'Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing here?' lingering in their minds, nodded. Since Minato Namikaze, their team leader, said the mission was over, then it was over.
After briefly explaining the situation to Sara, Minato Namikaze left.
Watching the backs of Yue Yan and the others leave, Sara always felt something was off. Some memory fragments emerged in her mind.
Back in Konoha, after submitting the mission report to the Third kage, Yue Yan went back to his home. Having just finished a mission, he planned to rest for a few days.
For a long time after that, Yue Yan was in a relaxed state. Even if there were war - related missions, for Yue Yan at present, as long as he wasn't surrounded by two or three kage - level opponents, the missions were quite easy.
It was only when Kakashi was promoted to Jonin that Yue Yan gave him a [Scroll] as a special present.
One day, only Kakashi and Rin Nohara returned to Konoha, bringing the news of Obito Uchiha's Death. This immediately caught Yue Yan's attention.
Since Minato Namikaze was on a mission in the Land of Earth, Yue Yan was entrusted with the task of comforting the deeply - stricken Kakashi and Rin Nohara.
Seeing Kakashi training crazily regardless of his own injuries, Yue Yan couldn't help but shake his head.
It seemed that Obito Uchiha's death had hit Kakashi hard.
It was understandable. Kakashi had just gradually emerged from the shadow of his father Sakumo Hatake's suicide thanks to Obito Uchiha's antics, but now he was back in that state.
"Kakashi, take a break. If you keep training like this, you'll wear yourself out."
Hearing this, Kakashi glanced at Yue Yan. Now, every time he closed his eyes, he'd see the huge rock pinning Obito Uchiha down and preventing him from pushing it away. Kakashi had never felt so powerless and hated his own weakness more than at that moment.
"Don't think too much. Everything will pass."
Hearing this, Kakashi, who was originally lost in self - blame, suddenly looked up, glaring at Yue Yan with a murderous look in his eyes. One could still hear the unbridled anger in his voice.
"Obito Uchiha was your friend, right? Why are you so calm about his death?"
Hearing this, Yue Yan was taken aback. He seemingly hadn't noticed this. After all, Yue Yan clearly knew that Obito Uchiha wasn't dead and was even training with Madara Uchiha. It was just like the protagonist in a story falling off a cliff and meeting an old master to obtain a powerful martial arts manual.
"Um..."
After realizing that he had made a mistake, Yue Yan also wanted to make up for it.
"Considering Obito Uchiha's personality, he'd rather see you live well than wallow in pain."
As he said this, Yue Yan pointed at Kakashi's left eye covered by the eye - patch.
"Since you've received Obito Uchiha's gift, see the world through his eyes."
After listening, Kakashi fell silent. The image of Obito Uchiha with a silly smile appeared in his mind.
"You're right. I shouldn't wallow in pain. I should carry on for Obito Uchiha and live well, but..."
The image of Obito Uchiha in Kakashi's mind was slowly replaced by the image of that huge rock.
"I just can't shake that feeling of powerlessness."
Seeing this, Yue Yan sighed.
"Forget it. You're not in the right state to train now. I'll take you to do something to take your mind off things. At least it'll make you feel better."
