Chapter 137 - After the War [4] (1/2)

Obito was forgotten by Naruto and stood in the same place, dumbstruck. Sasuke somehow understood him and temporarily put away their enmity as he patted the man's shoulder: ''Don't worry, he'll soon come back.''

He nodded but what Obito didn't expect was that he would need to wait for weeks before Naruto actually remembered him. Luckily, he was adept at surviving so Obito easily caught animals and grilled some meat to himself by using Katon.

''I'll just wait till Naruto remembers about me, till then, I'll keep surviving like that.'' He muttered, unsure of what to do. Truth to be told, Obito just wanted to be punished by his actions because what he had done was a really, really bad thing.

Killing tens of thousands in a single war wasn't the only bad deed he had done. Murdering in cold blood, involving innocents in his pursuit of the Kyuubi 16 years ago, these were just a few of his bad deeds through around two to three decades.

''Missed me?'' Naruto suddenly appeared beside him, instantly scaring the not-so-poor man. The blond youngster smirked before he said: ''Ah, you see, I didn't really forget about you. It's just that over the weeks, I was really busy and a criminal isn't my priority.''

The words were harsh and sounded as if Obito was worthless, which wasn't far from the truth, the now white-haired man mused. Looking towards Naruto, Obito said while sighing lightly: ''You don't need to explain yourself, I'm a criminal and nothing will change that. What did you and the other Five Kages decided to do?''

''Hm? They didn't decide anything, I just said I was going to take you to Uzushiogakure and serve under it to the rest of your timeline as my servant, that's all. They also required me to stripe off the Sharingan from you but I'm not really a fan of that idea, I have an Uchiha friend, you know?''

''Hn.''

''Hn your a.s.s.''

''Hn.''

''...'' Naruto was speechless, why did all Uchihas have that same habit of saying 'Hn' when agreeing? Or even disagreeing, he had seen Itachi disagreeing yet saying the famous 'Hn' with a frown. It was utterly... strange, to say the least.

Nonetheless, he said: ''Anyway, you'll be coming with me and will do any task I order you as long as it isn't that bad. If I don't order you, ya' will be able to live like a normal person, personally, I have arranged you to live at the room next to my Nii-san, you two probably have some old things to talk about.''

Without saying anything more, Naruto teleported both of them to Uzushiogakure. Looking at the enormous Grimoire Tower in the middle of Uzushiogakure which also gave place to many roads originating from it, he sighed.

'It seems that Mana abides by my law, since youngsters usually become Genins at 12, I willed it to give Grimoires at 12 and it obeyed. I guess Mana does fear that crazy old man, this also reminds me it has been a good amount of time since I last visited him, he must be feeling so lonely!' Naruto thought.

Then, he remembered he made Sasuke's body forcefully adapt to Mana and Naruto had to admit - Sasuke's face contorting in pain as his Chakra forcefully merged with Mana did made him smile a bit.

But those are just details. Details, details.
