Extra 2: From the Parallel World (???) 6
Uchiha Itachi felt like he had had an extremely long dream.
It was so long that he didn't even want to wake up again.
After all, as long as he doesn't wake up, he won't have to face those unbearable and despair.
Sometimes, even Uchiha Itachi would wonder if it would have been better if he had died instead.
That way, at least he wouldn't have to face a break between the village and the family.
You don't have to make forced choices again and again.
Every time, Uchiha Itachi felt as if he was standing on the edge of a cliff, and no matter which choice he made, the end result was that he would fall off the cliff and be smashed to pieces.
The difference may just be a little earlier or a little later.
...Or how many people could be rescued from the edge of the cliff instead of falling off the cliff like him.
The young Uchiha Itachi was unable to understand the intricate and confusing transactions and reasons between adults.
Now, all he wants to do is to rescue more people from the edge of the cliff.
He had experienced how terrifying it was to fall off a cliff when he was only four years old.
Some people will choose to smash other people's umbrellas after they have been caught in the rain.
But there are also some people who, after knowing the pain, are determined to find ways to help more people stay away from pain.
For example, Uchiha Itachi.
Uchiha Itachi really didn't want to open his eyes again until...
"Itachi-sensei! Wake up! We're here!"
"Itachi-sama, hurry up, I see children from other villages have arrived too!"
"That's right! We can't let them get there first!"
Uchiha Itachi came back to his senses and said: What did you call me?
The person who just woke up was a little confused, but his excellent ninja qualities made him realize the problem immediately -
This is not his room.
No, not only is it not my own room.
He couldn't even recognize where this place was.
Although what he saw was a completely unfamiliar space, Uchiha Itachi immediately straightened his expression and did not show any abnormality.
He looked down and saw several children of single-digit ages surrounding him.
Noticing Uchiha Itachi looking over, the children became even more excited.
"Itachi-sensei, go check the ticket!"
"That's right, this is a qualification we fought so hard to obtain!"
Despite the time
It was very short, but Uchiha Madara used this moment to confirm that these children should all be residents of Konoha.
Although there were some completely unfamiliar faces, he had some impression of some of them.
There was even one, an Uchiha child.
However, at this moment, he had no time to think about the question of 'Why would the Uchiha children act collectively with Konoha'.
Because the children around him couldn't wait any longer, they began to crowd around him and walk forward impatiently.
And we can also learn from their words that they are currently carrying out an activity that they "had finally fought for" - and this activity is most likely related to the huge complex of buildings in front of them.
That's right, even though he could only see the gate and part of the building, Uchiha Itachi could tell that this was actually a fairly large building complex.
I just don't know what it is used for.
And your own identity.
Uchiha Itachi was silent for a moment.
It seems, perhaps, that it is their 'teacher'?
This was truly a development that far exceeded Uchiha Itachi's expectations.
Not to mention that he hasn't actually thought about the distant future, the profession of "teacher" has basically been ruled out by him.
After all, he is an Uchiha.
Even if the Uchiha didn't serve in the Konoha Guard, there was no teacher.
only……
Listening to the children's cries one after another, like the cries of hungry birds.
Uchiha Itachi felt that perhaps he didn't hate this profession.
Moreover, since he still hadn't figured out where this place was and what was going on, he felt that it would be easier to get clues if he continued according to the 'settings'.
So he said:
"Sorry, I just feel dizzy."
A child nodded in understanding: "Carsick, huh? Me too... Well, we might as well all run over here together."
Another child followed up, "Are you crazy? Running from Konoha to here? Have you ever considered how far this is?"
"That doesn't mean you keep running."
"Alright, alright, stop talking. Itachi-sensei, hurry up and check the tickets, or we're really going to fall behind the kids from other ninja villages."
Although there is no war now, there is still competition.
——At least they don’t want to wait behind the children of other ninja villages and wait until they are happy before it’s their turn.
.
Uchiha Itachi actually didn't know what the "verification voucher" was, but he cleverly searched everything on him quickly.
Found some things that might be related to 'vouchers'.
Including but not limited to detonating tags, some letter paper, and some fancy paper.
Including but not limited to…discount cards?
Coupons?
There is also a card that is obviously handmade.
Uchiha Itachi carefully read the words above.
Probably...
'Service voucher for my brother'?
What is this?
Uchiha Itachi had no recollection of ever having seen such a strange thing.
But judging from the above content, this was given to himself by Sasuke.
Finally, Uchiha Itachi found a piece of paper with the words "group ticket" printed on it, and it was impossible to tell what material it was made of.
That’s probably it.
He thought so, but he didn't just hand out this one ticket. Instead, he pretended to accidentally hand over several tickets to the window staff.
That way, no matter which one is actually the useful one, the staff will pick it out themselves.
This naturally includes the 'Service Exchange Voucher for My Brother' which was probably written by Uchiha Sashi.
"You have a really good relationship with your brothers and sisters."
The staff member collected the extra bills and handed them to him, saying with a smile.
"……Um."
Uchiha Itachi curled the corners of his mouth and smiled.
"Then I have checked the group tickets here. Please go through the group channel here. I wish you and your team a happy trip to Tailed Beast Park."
"Thanks."
Uchiha Itachi slowly put away the tickets, then took the group ticket with a corner torn off and turned to greet the children.
Seeing Uchiha Itachi waving at him.
The children ran over happily and surrounded Uchiha Itachi as they walked inside.
"Wait, hasn't the roll been called yet?"
A boy who looked very young and naive suddenly spoke.
Seeing this, the others also began to hesitate.
"Oh yeah, Itachi-sensei didn't call on anyone this time."
"But the school doesn't require that you always take attendance, so it's just Itachi-sensei's personal habit?"
child
As they spoke, they looked at Uchiha Itachi.
Uchiha Itachi: "..."
The prerequisite for calling the roll is that I have to know the name first.
However, he did not panic because of this, he just calmly pointed to the entrance.
"They're going in."
Seeing this, the children, who had not given it much thought, rushed in quickly.
"Charge! Don't fall behind!"
"That's right! Charge!"
The children rushed in like cannonballs.
Seeing the children of Konoha running, the children of the neighboring ninja village also rushed forward.
The leading ninja was a simple-looking male ninja. Seeing this, he could only give Uchiha Itachi a wry smile of sympathy and then ran in as well.
There's no way, they are the leading ninjas.
If anything goes wrong, it's all their fault... No, that's not right.
If something goes wrong, can taking responsibility solve the problem? No, taking responsibility is not as good as not having the problem in the first place.
The children rushed in.
The ninja leading the team naturally rushed in as well.
During this period, Uchiha Itachi also cleverly used the children's new attention to the "Tailed Beast Park" project to extract a lot of information.
That's right, now he already knows that the name of this place is "Tailed Beast Park". As the name suggests, it is an area with the theme of tailed beasts that provides entertainment activities for people.
Although the two words "tailed beast" and "entertainment facilities" seem to have nothing in common at all.
Uchiha Itachi tried hard not to show any abnormality.
It’s not that he wasn’t calm enough, it’s just that all this was too weird.
He had not considered the possibility that this was an illusion world, but he tried to dispel it several times and failed.
...If this wasn't an extremely sophisticated and powerful illusion that even the Uchiha couldn't break.
That only proves that this is a real world.
In other words, it is a real space.
And he can't solve it by himself alone.
At least for now, no.
Uchiha Itachi also thought about taking action and taking advantage of their defenselessness against 'Uchiha Itachi' to control the person in charge.
But the area here is too large, and it is far away from the ninja village (he saw the location through the brochure). Even if he can control one or two people in charge, the role they can play will be very limited.
In particular, his purpose was not to cause chaos or to achieve a specific goal through such actions.
Therefore, Uchiha Itachi judged that it would be better for him to continue acting in the role of 'Uchiha Itachi Teacher'.
and……
To be honest, Uchiha Itachi did enjoy it a bit.
Although the kids were noisy, they were much better than the ones he had experienced in school before.
Of course, students had disagreements and quarrels before, but they were just angry about things. They were not like the hostile and hateful eyes that he had seen before.
Plus, they all kept calling me teacher, and they believed in me as an Uchiha...
Uchiha Itachi even had the thought, "It would be great if this were really my life."
There were no wars, no conflicts between tribesmen and villages, and no forced decisions.
But Uchiha Itachi quickly suppressed this thought with his amazing rationality.
He couldn't think like that.
There shouldn't be any sense of luck.
——Hasn’t he already understood?
What kind of consequences will that kind of mentality of relying on luck and dependence bring... Isn't he very clear about it?
At this point, Uchiha Itachi's expression, which had just softened, became hard again.
But it was only for a moment.
Because a child looked at him with a frightened expression:
"Teacher, please don't do this. I'm scared."
"We were rewarded for our excellent grades and are here to have fun. Itachi-sensei, your expression makes me feel like there are still 800 sets of exercises and physical tests waiting for us..."
The child shuddered as he spoke.
You can see how deep the shadow is.
Uchiha Itachi was silent for a moment and tried to smile.
However, when he twitched the corner of his mouth, the child trembled even more violently.
"...Teacher, please tell me the truth. How much training and tests are waiting for us in the future?"
This fake smile on his face clearly says 'you're in for a treat'!
The boy reflected on it.
Although they made some noise along the way and ran around a bit more often.
But I didn’t make any mistakes or cause any trouble?
Even if there were any attempts to sneak away or act on one's own, that wouldn't be a serious enough crime, right?
Uchiha Itachi: "..."
You can't not laugh, and you can't laugh either.
You are asking for a lot.
He even began to doubt whether the 'Uchiha Itachi' in this world was the same person as himself.
...Perhaps, it is just a person with the same name but completely different from the other?
If that's the case, it's actually a kind of happiness.
Just as Uchiha Itachi was thinking this, he suddenly heard someone shouting:
"Look, it's Shisui-san!" someone said, "That's great, I also want to be Miss Ugetsuki's right-hand man like Shisui-san."
"That's something you have to wait until you grow up first."
The children were chattering away, but Uchiha Itachi really couldn't hold it in any longer.
…Who are you talking about!? !
