My Susanoo took off again and flew quickly towards the address given by Nagato.

Before Sasuke… before his illness took him…

I have to find him first!

I still remember that I once told him that I would find a way to let him die as he wished and let Sasuke get his revenge as he wished, but also let Sasuke get his gentle brother back as he wished and let them live happily together.

At that time he said that even if I had the eye technique that could reverse fate, it would be impossible to reverse his fate of having his own parents killed, and it would be impossible to revive the Uchiha clan.

Because it is already an established fact and there is no possibility of any distortion.

But now I found a way!

But will this method be approved by Itachi-sensei...?

Is he willing to cooperate and help me, or does he still reject me?

I still remember that itachi teacher smiled at me at that time. I tried hard to find a better ending between him and Sasuke. Although he did not think there was such a possibility, he tolerated my efforts.

He comforted me, but did not give me hope.

"Goodbye, Chaolu. I'm sorry I can't accompany you on the rest of the journey."

Not always……

I thought to myself, what if we can walk together to the end?

I couldn't stop him from leaving then, and now, I want to get him back.

"Chaolu, you are my proudest student."

When I find Itachi, I will definitely tell him - "Uchiha Itachi, you are truly the worst brother and teacher in the world!"

...However, when I really met Itachi, those words were already on the tip of my tongue. I opened my mouth, but nothing came out.

I descended from the sky riding Susanoo, and Itachi-sensei was standing at the entrance. The wind blew up his robe. He put one hand on his collar and raised the other hand to cover his long hair by his ears to prevent it from brushing against his eyes.

He looked so calm and composed, but his pale lips revealed that he was not in such a good condition.

I was very careful when I landed, as I felt that if the air current was strong enough, it might blow him away.

"...You knew I was coming?"

"I have crows nearby to gather intelligence."

"You could have waited inside for me to come in...if you weren't feeling well. Or did you accidentally bump into me when you noticed me coming and were about to move? I'm so sorry."

"How did you know I was here?"

"I prayed to God, please tell me where my sickly but stubborn teacher is, and then my intuition told me that I should come here, so I came here."

I didn't tell the truth, and Itachi-sensei must have known that I didn't tell the truth. He sighed and said, "I was worried that you were in trouble."

"If I were really in trouble and came to you... would you help me? I thought you were here to wait for Sasuke to come."

He lowered his eyes, and in the sunlight, his whole body seemed to be fragile as if it was about to break: "It seems that you are not in trouble."

He turned and walked into the cave, and I hurried to follow him.

Entering the dim cave, I understood why he chose to meet Sasuke here - in such light, it would be difficult for Sasuke to notice his pale face and haggard look.

"I found a way."

Teacher Itachi didn't say anything. I don't know if he was in poor health and needed to save his energy even when speaking.

"I found a way... for you and Sasuke to live happily ever after!"

"Asaro..." Itachi-sensei sighed, "Don't dwell on my affairs anymore. I told you that you have more important responsibilities, don't you?"

“Bringing happiness to the people I care about is my most important responsibility.”

He walked into a wide stone room at the end of the corridor. There was a stone chair here. I watched Itachi lean on it skillfully and frowned: "The stone is so hard... Will you be comfortable sitting on it?"

Itachi-sensei closed his eyes and said calmly, "If you find the right angle, the support is very good... I feel uncomfortable standing, and lying down is not comfortable either. So, this chair... is just right."

"Listen to my plan!"

I squatted beside his legs, put my hands on his knees, and looked at him eagerly.

Itachi-sensei sighed again, "I didn't gag you."

"You said that my eye technique cannot distort the predetermined fate... That's right, I can't distort the past where you killed your clan members with your own hands... But what if we regard the time of this world as the fate of a 'person'? The world has not yet come to an end, and its ending has never been determined... Countless possibilities exist in the choices at this moment. Theoretically, if I distort the fate of this world, maybe I can distort time and turn everything back to the past - Itachi-sensei... If you have the memories of the future and go back to the past... can you make a better choice?"

He turned his face slightly towards me and opened his eyes. "If you want to expand the scope of ninjutsu to the whole world, the chakra required is beyond the limit of what a person can possess... Once time is involved, it will be the most complicated space-time ninjutsu... What energy do you want to use?"

"Tailed beast."

"...I guess so. But what if the tailed beasts are not enough?"

"Do you know Uchiha Madara's plan, Itachi-sensei? I've figured it out. The Ten-Tails he wants to resurrect is actually a sacred tree. It can absorb the energy of this planet, and it can also reabsorb the chakra scattered around the world and gather it in one place to bear fruit. The goddess of the Rabbit, Kaguya, ate this fruit and became the ancestor of chakra, gaining powerful power... What if I get the power of the ancestor of chakra... and get the most original power of this planet?"

"That sounds... scary."

"Is it scarier than the Infinite Tsukuyomi that Uchiha Madara planned to implement?"

"Infinite Tsukuyomi..."

"Yes. Uchiha Madara's original plan was to revive the Ten-Tails, and then use the power of the Ten-Tails to make everyone in the world fall asleep and find happiness in their dreams. That was what he thought was the best future, a way to make everyone happy. Compared to dreaming, my plan is at least more realistic."

Itachi-sensei chuckled, "Your plan doesn't sound much different from a dream."

"But Mr. Itachi... don't you want to make a choice again?" I held his hand on the armrest.

His hands were originally very thin, with distinct joints and long fingers, but now they are even thinner.

Although he was not as bad as Nagato, with only a broken skeleton left, he was obviously no longer as strong.

"I don't want to decide everything by myself. I just want to give you another chance to choose... This time, you have more information and more intelligence, so you can definitely make a more thoughtful choice... Whatever future you want, you still have to work hard for it in the end... If this time, the future still cannot make everyone happy, you won't have any regrets. I have done everything I can for you, and I will accept it and move on to the future..."

Teacher Itachi looked ahead in a daze. Although he didn't say anything, I felt that he was listening to me.

"...Kakashi said that even after more than ten years, he still couldn't let go of the loss of his best friend, companion, and teacher... He would always visit them in front of the memorial and would always think of them. What about you, Itachi-sensei...? You don't want to go back in time and save your best friend first, and you don't want to see your parents again, even if you don't like your own people... But what about Sasuke...? Don't you want to find a better way for him... than killing your brother yourself?"
