Chapter 121 - Chapter 121 Finding Excuses for Yourself

Uzumaki Kushina said that Kamiyo was just missing a reason, not struggling with whether or not to help, and Kamiyo was not satisfied with this answer.

Because Kamiyo felt that he was indeed struggling with whether or not he should help, and if he should help, then the reason would naturally be there.

Seeing Kamiyo's expression, Uzumaki Kushina knew that Kamiyo didn't quite agree with her answer.

So Uzumaki Kushina said, "If you clearly know that your friends will encounter very bad things, but you let these things happen, will you feel guilty and blame yourself afterward?"

Kamiyo nodded in silence. When Rin Nohara died, Obito turned dark, and Kakashi was in pain, how could he not blame himself or feel guilty if he knew everything but did nothing and let these things develop?

Uzumaki Kushina continued, "Since you would feel guilty and blame yourself, then if you continue to live that peaceful life, can you truly be peaceful?"

Kamiyo suddenly stared blankly at Uzumaki Kushina, as if what she said made some sense.

At that time, could he really live a peaceful life with a clear conscience?

Kamiyo was not a cold-hearted person; he believed he couldn't do it.

Uzumaki Kushina smiled and said, "It seems you understand now. Not helping would actually prevent you from returning to a peaceful life. Moreover, you are afraid of worse things happening, but do you know what worse things will happen later?"

Kamiyo shook his head. Of course, he didn't know what bad things would happen later; he was just guessing.

Uzumaki Kushina placed her hand on Kamiyo's head, rubbed it, and said, "Since you don't know what will happen in the future, why are you so worried now? At least when you help your friends, it's not a bad thing, is it?

Who knows what the future holds? What we can do now is seize the present and have no regrets."

Kamiyo frowned deeply, lost in thought.

Uzumaki Kushina did not disturb Kamiyo, quietly waiting for him to figure it out himself.

Uzumaki Kushina believed that Kamiyo would definitely figure it out on his own.

Kamiyo pondered Uzumaki Kushina's words.

Yes, who knows what the future holds?

He was born into this world, and Obito awakened his Sharingan early, which showed that this world was not a fixed program that remained unchanged. Perhaps the future had already changed.

And now, he was good friends with Obito, Kakashi, and Rin Nohara. If he let them get hurt, he would blame himself, feel guilty, and have regrets.

Since things had already changed, it should be fine if he changed them a little more, right?

The Uchiha Clan hasn't been annihilated yet, there are so many people Uchiha Madara can choose from, it doesn't have to be Obito, right?

Moreover, once Obito and the others develop, he can make them work for him like oxen and horses—they owe him—and he can still happily live his own little life.

Yes, that's right! That's it!

Kamiyo, having found a good reason for himself, gradually relaxed his brows, as if relieved, letting out a sigh.

Uzumaki Kushina looked at Kamiyo gently: "It seems you've figured it out."

Kamiyo's face unconsciously broke into a smile, and he nodded, saying, "I've figured it out."

Now feeling completely relaxed, Kamiyo stretched languidly.

Uzumaki Kushina asked curiously, "What kind of danger will Obito and the others encounter? It made you so conflicted."

Kamiyo, who was halfway through his stretch, choked when he heard Uzumaki Kushina's question and started coughing violently.

"Cough, cough, cough, Kushina-nee-chan, who said Obito and the others would encounter any danger? I was just asking for a friend!"

Uzumaki Kushina looked at Kamiyo with an expression that said, 'Don't pretend, I've seen through everything,' and said in a strange tone, "Oh? You're asking for your friend? Which friend? Your friends in Konoha seem to be just Obito, Kakashi, and Rin, right?"

Kamiyo said angrily, "I used to be from Hidden Sand Village! Does that mean I don't have friends there?!"

Uzumaki Kushina scoffed, "Oh? Minato said you were just like this in Hidden Sand Village too, never leaving the house. You lived in Sunagakure for so many years, and it seems the number of people who know you isn't even enough for one hand, right? Do you really have friends in Sunagakure?"

Kamiyo retorted indignantly, "Don't underestimate me! Of course, I have friends! I have a good friend within Sunagakure, her name is Pakura!"

"Heh."

Uzumaki Kushina looked at Kamiyo with a sneer, completely disbelieving him.

Kamiyo felt as if he had been offended, his face flushed red, and he emphasized, "I'm telling the truth, I really have a friend named Pakura!"

Uzumaki Kushina said casually, "Ah, yes, yes, yes, I believe you, I really do."

Kamiyo was so angry his lungs felt like they would explode.

In this day and age, does no one believe the truth anymore?

Kamiyo plopped down on the chair and resignedly said, "Forget it, think whatever you want!"

Uzumaki Kushina also stopped pressing Kamiyo. If Kamiyo didn't like Rin Nohara, honestly, Uzumaki Kushina's interest also waned.

Uzumaki Kushina stood up and said, "How about this, you rest for two days, and in two days, I'll take you to see Hokage-sama."

Kamiyo snorted and turned his head away. He was very angry now and didn't want to talk to Uzumaki Kushina.

"Oh, Kushina-nee-chan, whatever you say goes! Two days from now, right? I'll definitely be ready to go with you to see Hokage-sama!"

Kamiyo, who already had several bumps on his head, now had another small bump on top of them, like a set of nesting dolls, as he flashed an ingratiating smile at Uzumaki Kushina.

Uzumaki Kushina instructed, "Rest well these two days. Go take a bath now; I don't know how long it's been since you last bathed, you're starting to smell! And! Put clothes on your puppet!"

Kamiyo sniffed himself; it seemed he did have a bit of a smell: "I know, Kushina-nee-chan, you take care on your way out~"

After watching Uzumaki Kushina leave, Kamiyo let out a long sigh of relief, finally having sent this ancestor away.

After Kamiyo dressed Kannazuki, he sighed again. In two days, he would have to go to the battlefield again. Not happy~

In a place in the Ninja World called Mount Cemetery.

The elderly Uchiha Madara was sitting on a tree stump used as a chair, with a tube connected behind him, and a giant Gedo Statue behind him.

A pitch-black mass emerged from the ground; this dark mass was Black Zetsu.

Uchiha Madara asked in a hoarse voice, "How is it?"

Black Zetsu reported, "Madara, one of the people you asked me to investigate is currently on a mission with his teammates at the Land of Fire border, another is still imprisoned in Konoha's jail, and I am still searching for the last one."

Hearing Black Zetsu's report, Uchiha Madara only murmured, "Is that so..."
