Konoha Hypocrite

A long time after Uchiha Tonan and Sandaime Raikage fled from the Kumo base camp to a place hundreds of kilometers away, earth-shaking sounds of collisions could be repeatedly heard in the valley.

Boom, boom, boom… The sounds seemed to be able to shatter people’s eardrums. A gust of wind was whistling through the valley, withered grasses and fallen leaves were flying all over the sky, and sand and dust were all over. It was a chaotic scene.

In addition to this, multiple streaks of blue lightning were surging in the sky above the valley. And every lightning flash was accompanied by white sparks and an ear-deafening thunder explosion. The initially dull and tranquil night sky was also trembling.

In the distance, the common people of the Land of Frost woke up one after another from their sleep. They walked to the windows one by one to look at the sky on the horizon that kept flashing.

“Is it a lightning strike?”

“How can there be a lightning strike? We can still see so many stars in the sky.”

“This must be the fury of the Mountain God.”

……

‘A’ and Killer B stood on top of the mountain, looking down at the two balls of lightning that kept flying all around and colliding. In the beginning, ‘A’ was still able to see the movements of the two people but as the battle went on, the speed of the two became faster and faster.

Later, he could just barely see the trajectory of two lightning balls. He couldn’t see the movements of the people at all. After a long time, he reached out his hands to rub his sore eyes and solemnly said, “The speed of these two people is almost beyond the limit of my sight.”

Although Killer B also couldn’t see those two people clearly, he had the Hachibi Gyuki as the battle commentator for him. “Ah ya… can’t see, can’t see the battle… ya ya, keep up this gorgeous rhythm…”

‘A’ clenched his fists tightly and finally heaved a long sigh. He said, “Once we return this time, I’ll have to increase my training.”

Boom! Accompanied by an earth-shaking sound of an explosion, the entire valley was filled with lightning. The two people felt like only a black and white space was left in front of them as if they had turned blind. After a long time, the two gradually recovered their eyesight.

“Father!” ‘A’ shouted with concern and took the initiative to jump down. He landed stably in the valley. He instantly rushed to Sandaime Raikage’s side, who was lying in the ruins and supported him.

Step, step, step… Upon hearing the sounds of approaching footsteps, ‘A’ instantly activated Lighting Style Chakra Mode and looked vigilantly at Tonan in tattered clothes who was walking over slowly.

At this moment, Killer B landed between the two sides, blocking Tonan’s path. There was no longer a happy-go-lucky look on his face. It was replaced by a solemn look. But Tonan stopped after walking for a certain distance. Then, taking out a storage scroll from his ninja bag, he said with a satisfied tone, “I’m truly happy. It seems I won by luck this time.”

Sandaime Raikage stood up with difficulty and coughed heavily for a bit. He said, “Cough, cough, you are stronger than last time.”

“Heal your injuries at ease. I won’t lead Konoha to attack your side until you completely recover from your injuries.”

Tonan took out a new windbreaker from the storage scroll and wore it. He then turned around and glancing back from the corner of his eyes, he said, “Next time, I’ll be even stronger.”

After speaking, he used the Body Flicker Technique and left the battlefield. “Old reckless man, it will be your death next time.”

After confirming that Tonan had left, ‘A’ and Killer B sighed in relief at the same time. Sandaime Raikage looked in the direction in which he had left and sighed softly. He said, “Actually, Tonan’s heart is not bad. If it weren’t for the war, I think he and our Kumo would have become friends.”

Killer B nodded his head with a look of approval. But only ‘A’ had a look of confusion on his face. Because Tonan’s action today conflicted with the insidious and despicable impression in his heart.

Sandaime Raikage looked at the change in expression on ‘A’s face and weakly asked, “What are you thinking?” ‘A’ shook his head and replied, “Nothing. It seems that I might’ve misunderstood him in the past.”

Hearing this, Sandaime Raikage nodded his head and as if he suddenly remembered something, he asked, “I remember you saying that you fought against Tonan before, but every time I asked you, you always hesitated to talk about it.”

‘A’ took a deep breath and supported Sandaime Raikage. And as he walked, he began to explain, “That time, what happened was that I was…”

A long time later, after listening to the complete story that A shared, Sandaime Raikage patted his shoulder and said, “Tonan probably lacked strength at that time. And a ninja uses tricks when he is weak. In this war, Kumo might not win. After this war is over, I’ll retire. I don’t think you have to be too hostile to Tonan. I can see that he loves peace in his heart.”

‘A’s not-so-intelligent brain couldn’t think too much about anything. In any case, Sandaime Raikage was the person he was close to, and he believed that everything he said was right. He nodded his head and said, “I got it, father.”

At that moment, Tonan’s insidious and despicable label in ‘A’s heart was destroyed. Instead, Tonan had now become a reckless, straight-headed, and peace-loving person like himself.

Ding! Gained ‘A’s acknowledgment.
