Inside the Sealing Space

In the dim Sealing Space.

Uchiha Shisui, whom Sarutobi Hiruzen was concerned about, was clutching his empty eye sockets, kneeling on the ground in an 'orz' posture.

Not far from him was Yakushi Nono, with her incredulous expression and wavy blonde hair, wearing glasses.

Just now, when Uchiha Shisui was sealed inside, the sudden change in scenery made him instinctively vigilant. However, his exhausted body, overdrawn Chakra, and dwindling Dojutsu couldn't keep up with his consciousness. He only felt a blur before his eyes, and a golden light suddenly appeared.

Then, his last remaining eye disappeared.

And then, 'orz'.

"I guess this will do it?"

Minato Namikaze looked at the bloody, still-warm eyes in his hand with a bitter expression.

He wasn't some kind of saint. His title of "Yellow Flash" was earned on the battlefield, to the point where the other four Ninja villages issued orders to "prioritize abandoning the mission if you encounter the Yellow Flash." This showed that Minato Namikaze was definitely a decisive person.

Just like when he plucked out Uchiha Shisui's eyes, he didn't hesitate at all, even more decisive than Danzo.

However, this act of taking the Bloodline Limit of a friend and clansman still caused some guilt in his sunny disposition.

As Minato Namikaze was musing, another Ninja in Anbu attire appeared amidst a wave of Chakra, much to his surprise.

This wasn't part of the plan, was it?

"F-Fourth Hokage?"

Just as Minato Namikaze was hesitating whether to dig out the newcomer's eyes as well, a trembling female voice suddenly rang out.

Minato Namikaze looked towards the Ninja and noticed that the mask wasn't one he recognized, meaning they must be a new addition.

"You are?"

Although he didn't know what Naruto planned to do with this person, Minato Namikaze still politely inquired about their identity.

Yakushi Nono hesitated for a moment before removing her mask. Hiding her identity from the Fourth Hokage was pointless.

"It's been a while, Fourth Hokage. I'm Yakushi Nono."

Yakushi Nono suddenly felt a sense of nostalgia. "I didn't expect the Fourth Hokage to still be alive."

"It's you."

Minato Namikaze recognized the orphanage director who often went to the Hokage Building to request supplies, but he didn't expect her to be a member of Root.

"It has been a while, Director Nonou. But I'm not truly alive; this is just a bit of Chakra I left behind."

Minato Namikaze's answer surprised Yakushi Nono. She didn't expect him to remember her, but what truly surprised her was something else.

"Chakra? Can someone exist like this after death?"

"It requires some special means. But how did Director Nonou become a Root Ninja?" Minato Namikaze smiled. Since Naruto didn't seem to mind, he was willing to chat with her. After all, there was only a big fox in this place, and Naruto was always training when he came in. He was quite bored and wanted to learn more about the outside world.

"This..." Yakushi Nono wanted to explain, but she was interrupted.

"F-Fourth Hokage? Why? Do you also covet the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan?"

Uchiha Shisui, who was clutching his eye sockets and groaning on the ground, couldn't help but cry out. Although he didn't know why the Fourth Hokage was still alive, he was certain it was him based on the glimpse of the Yellow Flash he saw earlier.

It was precisely because he was certain that he felt the pain. He knew that even compared to the current Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, was a Hokage who was truly close to the Uchiha clan. His wife, Kushina Uzumaki, was very close friends with the current Uchiha clan leader's wife.

But now, even the Fourth Hokage wanted to take his eyes.

Yakushi Nono only snapped back to her senses after hearing about Uchiha Shisui. It was then that she noticed Minato Namikaze was holding a bloody eyeball in his hand.

She also wore a ghostly expression. The Fourth Hokage was a tolerant, gentle, sunny, and kind person, treating the villagers with the warmth of spring and the enemies with the ruthlessness of severe winter. Could it be that he would also do something that Shimura Danzo would do?

"Sorry, Shisui... I have a reason I have to do this."

Minato Namikaze's tone was full of apology. Looking at Uchiha Shisui, he suddenly thought of Obito. Uchiha Shisui could be considered Obito's junior.

"Director Nonou, please heal Shisui."

Minato Namikaze looked at Yakushi Nono and requested.

"Ah? Okay..."

Although she also wanted to know the reason why Minato Namikaze did this, now was obviously not the time to ask. She had carefully observed the surrounding environment just now.

Although this place was very dark and had a lot of water, resembling a sewer, she found that the water under her feet looked like water, but it didn't feel like anything when touched. Stepping on it didn't make her feet wet at all.

Behind Minato Namikaze was a very large iron cage. Although she couldn't see what was inside, she was sure that something was being held there.

Strange, it sounds like someone is turning the pages of a book.

Yakushi Nono walked to Uchiha Shisui's side, wrapped a layer of green Chakra around her hand, and placed it near Uchiha Shisui's eyes.

This was the Mystical Palm Technique. By outputting Chakra from the palm, it enhances the healing ability of wounds or affected areas. It is an A-rank medical Ninja technique that requires a lot of talent to learn.

"Fourth Hokage, can you tell me your reason?"

Feeling a gentle and warm Chakra coming from his eye socket, Uchiha Shisui's emotions calmed down a lot. He wanted to know the reason why the Fourth Hokage took his eyes.

Minato Namikaze was silent for a while, and finally shook his head and said, "Sorry, I can't say this, but someone will tell you later."

After hearing this answer, Uchiha Shisui also fell silent. This answer obviously couldn't satisfy him, but he had no choice now. Not to mention whether he could beat him when he had eyes, now that he didn't even have eyes, he had no choice but to remain silent.

For a time, the Sealing Space fell into a strange silence.

At this time, the sound of turning pages seemed to become more obvious.

Minato Namikaze also felt that the atmosphere seemed a little awkward, and felt that this was not a solution. He didn't know when Naruto would come in, so he decided to find a topic.

"Director Nonou, I still don't know the reason why you joined Root. As far as I know, Root is not a good place."

Yakushi Nono, who was treating Uchiha Shisui, also showed a wry smile.

"I was originally a Root Ninja."
