Rihu's Pit Brother's Journey

After Hatake Sakumo saw Daimyo Iwakatsu, he roughly explained the situation and said that he would personally protect Daimyo's safety during this period of time. Unexpectedly, Daimyo did not object, even though he knew it was his brother Xiong and Xiong's subordinates. is causing trouble.

Hatake Sakumo heaved a sigh of relief, it seemed that Daimyo was only superficially angry, but in fact he was not ruthless.So he couldn't help but advise.

"Don't be too harsh on them, after all, they are just children."

In Sakumo's view, both Yuanyi and Quanna are too young, especially Yuanyi's performance and mental state are very similar to minors, even though they look like adults.For Konoha Shiralai, who has a teenage son, it is natural to regard them as juniors. In his view, it is normal for young people to make mistakes without knowing anything. The key point is to guide and educate them to improve in the later stage.How did he know that the ages of these two idiots can't be inferred from their appearance at all, especially Ji Guoyuan, who just automatically reduced his age in front of his brother, completely like the former brother and the latter.

If this is someone else's question, Yan Sheng may not answer it.Because Hatake Sakumo is the target of the mission, his question may be related to the mission clearance, so Ji Kuniwa Katsuki will take it seriously.

And with Yansheng's character, even if it is for customs clearance, he will never lie about this issue.

"...I am not a good person, Sakumo Hatake. Facing my brother, I hate him and envy him. Just imagining how powerful he makes me unattainable makes me sick! I can't even stand talking to him Breathing the same air, it makes my lungs feel like pins and needles! I am patient, I am patient to let him approach, because I have nothing but him. If it is not him, but a frozen viper, I am afraid I will also hold the disgust in my hands. I can't tolerate him getting closer, I can't! I have used the limit of what I can do to deal with it, and I can no longer be gentle with him like taking care of a child."

Ji Guoyansheng understands that what Yuanyi lacks is common sense, if he wants, he can teach his younger brother slowly, just like he did before.But now, he has exhausted all his strength just to deal with this Son of God who makes him love and hate.He really didn't have the mind and energy to devote more patience and love, so he could only guide his brother through harsh words, through punishment, and by looking for others to teach these ways.He can't tolerate the flaws of the Son of God, and always wants Yuanyi to be more perfect; but his scarred and jealous heart, and his inability to face the eyes that worship him openly, to him, this is simply a setback. A taunt that makes the heart bleed.

Listening to this straightforward explanation, Shuo Mao found that he didn't find it annoying, but felt that this high-ranking person was much closer.Probably, compared to Ji Guo Yuanyi, who is too close to perfection, Iwakatsu-sama, who is full of distracting thoughts and human weaknesses, makes people feel closer.

...hatred, envied, complained, couldn't do it but had to do it, hated but loved, all kinds of complex thoughts, Hatake Sakumo has personally experienced.

He was blamed by the people he saved, didn't he complain?The innocent son Kakashi was angered and violent. Didn't he get angry and resentful?Does he love or hate the village that sacrifices the lives of his companions to maintain the completion of the mission?Hatake Sakumo has always felt that he is too weak, whether as a ninja or as a father, he is not strong enough physically and mentally.Hearing what Iwakatsu Daimyo said now, the burden in his heart was finally let go.

... It's not that I haven't done enough, but that human beings are such contradictions.The weaknesses in human nature make people less than perfect, but they also make human beings more lovable.

"Thank you for your hard work." He said, "You have done a very good job, but it's okay to take a break once in a while. Don't be too tense, you are already better than you imagined."

Ji Kuniyan Katsu stood blankly and looked at Hatake Sakumo, obviously... obviously he didn't take it to heart, he only existed as the object of the task, but he easily touched his heart with his words.Before he could think, tears were already falling from the corners of his eyes.

He finally realized that this was what he had wanted to hear all along.

Not from this mouth, but from his father who ignored his various efforts at the beginning, and from Dazai-sensei who clearly sensed his heart but hurt him severely.

Those people he always wanted to prove himself had already left, leaving him alone, holding on in vain, knowing that the person who most hoped to be proved was no longer there.

"They're all gone, all gone! Even if I prove myself, what's the point! Tell me, why...why can't you let me go to reincarnation! Or let me go to hell! Why! Is this my sin, This is my punishment, right? Why..."

Hatake Sakumo was slightly shocked, then walked over, hugged the person in front of him comfortingly, and patted the person on the back, just like he used to comfort Kakashi who was in a bad mood.

He himself was in tears.

Ah, so that's the case, it turns out...the sense of disobedience is the reason!It turns out that the important thing I forgot is... I am dead!This is an endless prison for the soul!I, like this person... am a sinful person, a person who has experienced endless punishment, and a... dead person.Then, everything in this world...is just a dream come true!

"It's okay, everything will pass, everything will pass..."

He told lies that he wouldn't even believe, comforting a soul as desperate as himself, thinking in his heart, the obsession that he never forgot when he fell into hell, his son... Kakashi... ah... That's how it is...it's like this.

Thank you, Iwakatsu-sama.I already know what to do.

"Have you finally remembered that you have a son?"

Kakashi got angry when he saw his father, and complained.

Hatake Sakumo walked over and picked up his son.

Kakashi blushed immediately: "Hey! What are you doing! How old am I, put me down, old man!"

"Wait...for a while." Shuo Mao said, his expression softened, "Before we parted, I wanted to hear you say more... more... about you."

Kakashi was stunned: "What?"

Shuo Mao finally put him down and put his hands on his shoulders.

An ominous premonition made Kakashi wince, he didn't want to hear this man continue, but it seemed that he knew that he would react like this early on, his father, those hands that were too wide, held him in place His chance to escape.

"I want to hear more about you, Kakashi. Not what happened here, in this wonderful and happy dream, but what actually happened to you."

Kakashi trembled slightly: "What are you talking about, stinky dad!"

Hatake Sakumo chuckled: "Do you know the key to seeing through the illusion? It is the sense of dissonance with reality. The more realistic the illusion, the more information in your memory and your own wishes will be used to wrap you in it , making you think that where you are is real. But even so, there is an unconcealable sense of dissonance—the dissonance between reality and desire.”

This is an overly real world, and it is more difficult to see through than illusions, because everything is actually composed of spirit particles, and in a sense it is real.It's just that what constitutes it is a world formed by a certain person's thoughts as the core and mobilizing the power of the soul.

This is a field that Hatake Sakumo could not even imagine. He should not have discovered that this is not reality.Those souls who fall into obsession live in such a real world, so it is difficult to get rid of it, and they are deeply trapped in it and cannot be reborn.

"Kakashi, this may be a very beautiful world that best meets our hopes, but it is not the world you and I have actually lived in. No matter how painful or unbearable... there is our reality."

Tears streamed down Kakashi's face: "Why, say such things...why! Those...those are just terrible nightmares, isn't this the real thing?"

Hatake Sakumo lovingly wiped his son's tears with his hands: "I'm sorry, Kakashi, I couldn't accompany you to the end. Such a useless father...is the real me. I'm sorry."

Kakashi: "I didn't mean to hear sorry!"

Hatake Sakumo: "You have always been my pride."

Kakashi couldn't bear it anymore, and burst into tears.He hugged his father and burst into tears.His father patted him on the back with his hands, thinking that he had comforted Iwakatsu in the same way just now, Hatake Sakumo felt a little embarrassed.He actually comforted the other party as if he was his own child, but luckily he left before Lord Yansheng could react, otherwise, with Lord Yansheng's character, he would definitely be ashamed and angry.Lord Yansheng...it should be an undead like himself, or, it should be said, the messenger of the underworld.

Such a poor and lovely person, like him, has become a soul of the dead, still helping others after death, trying to wake up a soul like him who is obsessed and trapped in his own world. He is really a brave and great person.

"When... did you find out?"

Kakashi asked.

Hatake Sakumo asked back: "What about you, how did you find out?"

Kakashi blushed again: "The book that Obito brought me, "Intimate Violence", is a new series that Jiraiya-sensei released long after the "Intimate Paradise" series was very popular, and it is still the fourth generation. The adult’s son helped to complete it. It’s not a book that will appear at this time.”

Shuo Mao: ...

... Forget it, it's normal for single boys without parents to read little H books.I felt a sense of discord because of the book, Kakashi, how much do you like Jiraiya-sensei's book?

Kakashi: "At that time, I realized that this world is easily affected by consciousness. I thought it was an illusion, but after trying to crack it, I found that it was not successful, so I thought that most of me had precognitive dreams. The appearance of Intimacy and Violence. Who would have thought, hey. Sure enough, I am not Long Aotian who is gifted to open a new skill tree."

Shuo Mao: ...

Kakashi: "What about you, Dad? How did you realize that this is not the real world?"

Hatake Sakumo explained: "I didn't realize it at the beginning. I didn't have the memory of my own death, and I was completely connected with the development of the world here. Until... During the task of protecting Iwakatsu Daimyo, I saw Uchiha Itachi. "

Kakashi: "Is it because his age doesn't match his actual age? Itachi and I are nine years apart. He was still a tadpole when I was six. There's no way, in my time he was a He is very famous, and when you mention the genius of the Uchiha clan, you will naturally think of him."

In Kakashi's impression, Konoha White Fang, who is as powerful as his father, and a genius among Uchiha who can be compared with him-he will naturally think of Uchiha Itachi.Probably for this reason, a very young Uchiha Itachi appeared in this world.

...Actually, he and Uchiha Itachi went on Anbu missions together, and it wasn't his father who was called the captain, but him.

Hatake Sakumo smiled: "Even if age is not mentioned, there are other places that are different from reality. Only I know about this, and that is Mr. Uchiha Fugaku, who is not as cold and heartless as everyone thinks. He is actually I like children very much. You may not remember. When you were very young, you were lost at the celebration. It was Mr. Fuyue who brought you back. You rode on his neck and had a lot of snacks in your mouth. The snack dregs were scattered On other people's clothes. Master Fuyue scolded me for not being optimistic about you with a serious face, and carefully handed you back to me, just like treating fragile objects. At that time, I knew that if he had children, he would definitely be a stupid father .”

Kakashi was a little unbelievable: "That Fugaku-sama?"

Sakumo touched his son's head with his hand: "So I know that even if I misremembered Itachi's age, he would not be able to appear in that mission. If I knew that the fire country daimyo was hostile to Konoha, what I would say Master Fuyue, who knows, will not sit back and watch his son participate in this mission no matter what."

After becoming a soul, the memories of the past are not clear and become too distant, so it is difficult to distinguish the difference between here and reality.However, there are always some things that are more impressive than others.What makes Sakumo realize the difference is actually what one father knows about the other, and he firmly believes that no matter what happens, the Uchiha Fugaku he knows will love his son deeply.

Kakashi was a little helpless: "Well, it seems that this world has been greatly affected by my subjective consciousness. The Uchiha Itachi in my impression is an S-level rebellious ninja who has grown up, and has an extremely bad relationship with his father. good."

Kakashi is not familiar with Uchiha Fugaku, his entire impression of Fugaku is a stubborn Uchiha patriarch.Itachi couldn't convince his father not to be an enemy of Konoha, so he had to kill his relatives in pain.Because his apprentice is Sasuke, Kakashi naturally stands on Sasuke's side. Sasuke's beloved brother has sacrificed so much for Konoha, so he deserves sympathy, so his father who forced him to make such a choice is naturally extreme. Cold.

...But that's not true. In fact, Uchiha Fugaku is also a father who loves his son, maybe it's just not good at expressing.Kakashi thought with some emotion.

Shuo Mao continued: "Exactly, if only me, or only your consciousness can affect this world, most of you and I will not be aware of it. It is our difference in perception of reality that causes the sense of disobedience. Come on, tell me what happened in reality. How have you been since I left?"

Kakashi was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "It's not bad, dad. Although I have experienced a lot of annoying things, but in retrospect, I still have more happy things."

Kakashi talked with his father for a long time, about things after his father's death, his new friends, and later his own students, they are all headaches, and the days he can spend with them , Fighting together to the end, he feels that he has no regrets in his life.

At the end of the talk, his mouth was dry, and his father looked at him with gentle eyes.

"This is the end, go back, Kakashi."

"Dad?"

"This...is just my hunch. A world created by the obsession of the dead, other dead souls are difficult to interfere, either choose to be trapped in it, or create a world of their own. And you...can affect my world The world constructed by delusion is because you are still alive."

Kakashi didn't quite believe it: "Impossible, with such a serious injury and spending such a long time here, I'm already dead, right?"

Sakumo chuckled: "I'm going to ask your companion. Look at your hand, Kakashi."

Kakashi looked down at his hands, and found that his hands, no, not only his hands, but also his body was gradually becoming transparent.

Kakashi immediately raised his head and reached out to try to grab his father, but passed through his father's hand like a ghost.

His father stood up straight and watched him with gentle eyes: "It's still too early to come here, Kakashi. Work harder, and stop being lazy. Also, don't just read Jiraiya-sama's book , and work hard to find me a reliable daughter-in-law."

Kakashi's face collapsed: "It's too much, Dad..."

His figure has disappeared along with the sound.

Not only Kakashi, but the whole world began to lighten and gradually become translucent.

Hatake Sakumo looked up at the sky, and saw those souls who were bound by this dungeon flying away one after another—those who had the same thoughts as him and wanted to live a peaceful life were finally liberated ; his own vision gradually blurred.

"Although it's a very useless and terrible way to end my life, which is a bit disappointing, but my life is not bad."

There may be resentment, regret, or reluctance, but all of these have been relieved.

Now, I can say that my life is not bad.Because my proudest son Kakashi is so outstanding, I can proudly say that I have achieved the greatest achievement in my life - that is my son.

During Hatake's conversation with his son, something else actually happened.

When Ji Guoyansheng heard a click in his arms, he reached out to touch it and found it was Yushou.I took out the guard and saw that there seemed to be something hardwood in the guard, and it was difficult to distinguish the material through the soft cloth.Just now, the thing like a thin plate broke from the middle.

Yan Sheng's heart tightened, such an ominous omen, what happened to Wutiao's realization?

This is not an ordinary guard, it is something blessed by a young conjurer.Mou only had a half-knowledge of the incantation Hei Si Mou, but he also knew that if the guard was broken, there might be something wrong with the conjurer who blessed the guard, so the spell power would not be able to last.

"One Number, I want to go to the world where Gojo Satoru is, immediately!"

His system wizard was slow for a long time before replying: "The progress of the strategy is almost over, let's leave now..."

Black Death Mou interrupted: "Then give up the strategy. Now, immediately!"

Number One: "Don't give up, you are in team mode now, you can just stay here."

Hei Si Mou: "Just do it like this, don't talk anymore, can you do it!"

Number one: "Understood. This is the transfer. Please note that since you enter other worlds without a strategy, the vacation time will be deducted by default. Please be careful. In an emergency, you can call your teammates... or... Quanna."

Hei Si Mou, who was transferring, had a moment to reflect on whether his habit of always pausing (ellipsis) should be changed, even the system spirit was infected.After all, it is AI, whoever you learn from.
