When everything was ready, Arata looked at the two and asked again,
"Itachi, are you sure you want to go to Uzumaki Island with Shisui?
I'm sending him away early to prevent anyone.....especially the Third Hokage or Shimura Danzō.....from finding out he's still alive.
He'll scout the area first, and it'll take at least three days before the clan's first group can move."
Itachi nodded firmly. Since learning the clan planned to leave the Leaf, he had begun focusing his loyalty inward.
He wasn't yet the cold, burdened man he'd one day become, nor had he been fully manipulated by Danzō or the Hokage.
Hearing that Shisui was going to Uzumaki Island to prepare for the Uchiha's new future, he became eager to go along.
"It's fine, Arata," Itachi replied calmly. "With Shisui and me together, there's nothing to worry about.
I've awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.....my strength should be enough to help him."
Arata's expression shifted slightly.
He suddenly remembered how, in the original timeline, Itachi's body had deteriorated later in life.....likely due to awakening the Mangekyō too early.
His young body couldn't handle that kind of power; it was the same curse shared by many who bore bloodline abilities too soon.
He cautioned them seriously: "Itachi, you awakened your Mangekyō too early.
Don't use it too often.....it'll strain your body. Shisui, keep an eye on him.
You can use your Sharingan, but avoid overusing the Mangekyō."
Seeing both nod, Arata finally felt relieved. He guessed that in another life, Itachi's illness came not only from overuse of power but also from neglecting himself.
Despite his maturity, he was still just a teenager burdened with guilt for slaughtering his clan and killing his parents with his own hands.
If not for his younger brother, Itachi probably would have chosen death long ago.
Living with that guilt, constantly fighting alone, and pushing his body past its limits....it was no wonder his health had broken down.
But to be safe, Arata thought, the clan.....and Itachi.....needed a skilled medical ninja once they resettled.
Two people came to mind: the generous, strong-willed Tsunade, and the gentle medic Nonō Yakushi.
According to the timeline, Nonō should still be alive, so perhaps she could be saved.
But the main focus had to be Tsunade.
She was not only a brilliant healer but also a member of the Senju clan....the princess of their line, with pure Senju blood.
Her natural strength and vitality were unmatched, something Arata couldn't help but admire.
And then… an idea formed in his mind. If, just if, the Uchiha and Senju bloodlines were to combine, wouldn't their children have the potential to reach Sage-level power like the Six Paths himself?
With that thought, Arata silently made up his mind: for the sake of the Uchiha, he had to bring Tsunade to them.
Even if she refused at first, there were… other ways to convince her.
He sighed deeply. "Ah, I really am breaking my back for this clan."
After confirming once more that Itachi truly wanted to accompany Shisui, Arata said no more.
He placed his hands on both their shoulders, activated his ocular jutsu Takamagahara, and after a brief moment in the void, teleported them using the space mark he'd left earlier on Uzumaki Island.
When they arrived, Arata gave them quick instructions and handed over the supplies he'd prepared in advance.....enough to last several days.
Then, without lingering, he left them behind and returned to the Takamagahara space.
Once they were gone, Arata finally exhaled in relief.
After so much planning and effort, he had managed to save the two brightest stars of the Uchiha clan.
Shisui lived, his Mangekyō remained in his possession, and Danzō couldn't use it.
Itachi wouldn't be forced into killing the clan or die as a despised rogue.
Resting in his private space, Arata could still feel a faint strain from using his ocular powers repeatedly, even though his system had reduced their side effects to the minimum.
"One last use…" he muttered to himself, stepping into the inner chamber.
He focused on one of his space marks.....the one belonging to Uchiha Mikoto.....and activated it.
In an instant, a graceful woman wearing a thin nightgown appeared before him on the tatami floor, fast asleep and completely unaware of what had just happened.
