Naruto Dream Fulfillment Master

That is a forbidden technique that sacrifices the light of one Sharingan to temporarily nullify a reality that is unfavorable to oneself!

However, Itachi did not tell Pain all of this. He simply shook his head slowly and said calmly, "I haven't heard of it."

Pain remained silent for a moment upon hearing this, seemingly accepting the answer, before standing up and ordering, "I'll return to Amegakure to investigate this matter. You and Kisame stay here and keep an eye on Konoha. I'll be back as soon as possible."

"Understood." Itachi nodded slightly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Payne's figure vanished from the spot.

As soon as he left, the woods fell silent, with only the intermittent rustling of leaves in the wind.

Itachi slowly opened his eyes, looked up in the direction of Konoha, and his expression was uncertain.

He was more concerned with the characters from his dreams coming to life than with Danzo.

"That Obito guy... has been secretly plotting some big event."

Itachi pondered silently, a flash of red light appearing in his dark pupils.

"He absolutely could not have ignored such a bizarre turn of events..."

The fact that characters from dreams could come into reality is a completely uncontrollable variable that Obito definitely doesn't want to see!

Itachi's expression shifted, and his Sharingan began to subtly rotate.

The next instant, Tobi, who was attached to him, seemed to have been de-silenced and suddenly started yelling: "Aaaaah! Uchiha Itachi! What did you do to me?!"

Itachi remained calm and composed, slowly withdrawing his eye power, his expression still as serene as ever: "You've been too noisy, I just wanted you to be quiet for a bit."

"Itachi, you ungrateful bastard! I went to great lengths to heal you, and you not only gave me the silent treatment, but you even used genjutsu on me!"

Afei shouted angrily, "Wait till I tell Obito, and see how he deals with you!"

Itachi remained unmoved and said calmly, "Oh? Then go now."

He paused slightly, then added in a deep voice, "Perfect timing, there's some important information I need you to convey to Obito."

Afei paused for a moment, his cursing abruptly stopping, clearly intrigued: "...What information?"

Itachi narrowed his eyes slightly and slowly uttered, "Tell him that a character from a dream has come to the real Konoha Village!"

"What do you mean?" Afei was stunned for a moment, clearly not understanding.

“If I relay his words verbatim, he will naturally understand,” Itachi said calmly.

Afei gave a hesitant "Oh," then fell silent, beginning to transmit a message to Obito in the distance through White Zetsu's mysterious underground network—

White Zetsu clones were almost everywhere on the land, and information was transmitted to Obito in an instant, traversing great distances.

The weasel looked up at the dappled sunlight filtering through the treetops, pondering to himself.

How will Obito react when he hears this news?

Is it fury, or...?

However, before Itachi could think further, the surrounding space suddenly fluctuated violently!

The air around him twisted strangely, as if an invisible hand had stirred up a pool of spring water, and a vortex suddenly formed in mid-air!

Itachi's pupils contracted, and before he could make any move, a dark shadow suddenly darted out of the vortex with lightning speed.

"Itachi Uchiha!"

The person who came in sounded hurried and anxious, clearly very agitated, even their breathing was disordered.

His robe was now worn crookedly, with one sleeve slipping down to his elbow.

"What did you mean by what you just said!?"

[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +1000!]

The person who arrived was none other than Obito!

As soon as he appeared, he couldn't wait to interrogate Itachi.

"Who has come to Konoha? Explain yourself!"

Caught off guard, Itachi was grabbed by the shoulder, his body stiffened, and he almost thought that Obito was going to harm him.

However, the next second, when he clearly saw Obito's current appearance, he couldn't help but be slightly taken aback—

When has this man ever lost his composure like this before?

In the past, this person always spoke slowly, as if he had everything under control.

Now, he's no different from a bratty little brat.

Itachi was secretly alarmed: This was the first time he had ever seen Obito so flustered!

It seems this news has had a far greater impact on him than he imagined...

Itachi quickly composed himself and was about to explain.

Obito abruptly waved his hand, interrupting gruffly, "Forget it! I'll go see for myself!"

He turned and left without looking back, tossing out the words, "Konoha Village, right?!"

Before he could finish speaking, the space around Obito began to twist wildly once again.

Obito leaped into the black vortex and vanished without a trace.

The entire process, from appearance to departure, took less than five seconds.

Itachi Uchiha remained frozen in place, his hand still outstretched, his mouth slightly agape, unable to close for a long while.

The words I wanted to say were stuck in my throat, and not a single one came in handy.

He stared blankly at the spot where Obito had disappeared, feeling a sense of disorientation.

This Uchiha, who was always expressionless, finally showed a crack in his perpetually icy demeanor.

My mind was filled with big questions.

This reaction...

Itachi slowly lowered his arm, still somewhat dazed, wondering why Obito didn't seem worried at all, but rather... very excited.

In fact, I'm almost impatient?

He recalled Obito's shocked yet ecstatic tone, and doubts began to arise in his mind.

Doesn't Obito worry at all that this kind of incident might have a negative impact on his plans?

……

Meanwhile, in the Hokage's office in the Konoha Hokage Building, Jiraiya and Tsunade spent a considerable amount of time explaining the ins and outs of Orochimaru's defection to Nawaki.

As each past event was slowly recounted, Rope Tree's face grew increasingly dark.

He sat blankly on the sofa, staring unfocusedly at a certain spot on the table.

An old photograph on the table caught my eye—

In the photo, a young Orochimaru stands side by side with Jiraiya and Tsunade next to the Third Hokage, a spirited smile on his face.

As Jiraiya and Tsunade narrated, the color drained from Nawaki's face little by little, until he was almost as pale as paper.

Orochimaru-sensei... did that kind of thing later?

Live human experiments resulting in heavy casualties?

Kidnapping a fellow villager ninja?

A plan to destroy Konoha?

Each of these things seems like something that could never happen to a teacher!

After a long silence, beneath Nawaki's slightly drooping bangs, his gaze gradually hardened.

He looked up and was first met with Tsunade's concerned and worried gaze.

Nawaki looked at her sister with complicated emotions, then at Jiraiya, and could no longer control her suppressed feelings.

“I don’t believe it!” he shouted.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! A teacher would never do such a thing!"

"Someone is definitely framing him! It must be some despicable villain spreading rumors to frame him!"

“Nawaki…” Tsunade pursed her lips, staring blankly as her younger brother was once again caught up in his intense emotions, unsure how to respond.

She never expected that in Nawaki's mind, Orochimaru was actually a kind and gentle person.

Nawaki's voice boomed: "Big sister! Jiraiya-senpai! You grew up with our teacher, don't you understand what kind of person he is? How can you believe such nonsense to frame him!?"

Tsunade frowned upon hearing this, speechless at his questioning.

On one hand, she understands the bond between her younger brother and Orochimaru.

On the other hand, she herself was a witness to what happened back then.

Although she wasn't at the scene when it happened, the evidence and the truth left her no choice but to believe it.

However, looking into Rope Tree's clear yet stubborn eyes, she suddenly wavered.

Could it be... that there really was a misunderstanding back then?

The face of Danzo Shimura flashed through her mind, and a faint but undeniable thought arose in her heart.

For a moment, Tsunade was also caught in a struggle.

Jiraiya opened his mouth, though he had never really believed that Orochimaru had fallen so completely.

Tsunade opened her mouth, about to say a few more words of persuasion, but was interrupted by Nawaki's resistant expression.

"Unless the teacher admits it himself, I will never believe these accusations!"

The boy practically roared those words, his voice echoing through the air.

He does not mean that.

Nawaki's stubborn stance gave Jiraiya a sudden flash of inspiration, and his eyes lit up.

Yeah, why not take this opportunity to call Orochimaru back to Konoha!

After all, judging from the care that Orochimaru showed to Nawaki in the dream, the chances of successfully persuading him to return seem to be very high!

Jiraiya thought about it more and more and it seemed feasible, and his heart began to beat faster.
