Itachi Uchiha looked at the concrete floor, raised his head, looked at Kisame Hoshigaki without blinking, and said seriously, "Please!"
"Okay, I promise to help you dig, but let's dig next to it. There is no cement next to it, so it will be easier to dig." Kisame Hoshigaki felt uncomfortable when Itachi looked at him. In addition, he was always easy to be soft-hearted when facing Itachi, but the cement ground was too hard, so he had to compromise when digging.
It's not that he Kisame Hoshigaki is stingy, but every time he digs a hole, Itachi says that he can't use Ninjutsu and can only rely on physical strength to dig, which makes it look more formal and solemn.
"Okay!" Itachi also felt that this was a bit difficult for his partner, so he agreed with his partner to dig a hole next to it.
Since he agreed to Itachi, Kisame Hoshigaki immediately excavated. Because it was nearby and there was no cement pouring, Kisame Hoshigaki dug quickly and easily. Practice makes perfect. In the past few years as his partner with Itachi, he helped Itachi dig at least a thousand holes.
Ten minutes later, Kisame Hoshigaki dug a pit more than one meter deep.
"Okay." Kisame Hoshigaki hammered his waist and said with sweat on his face.
"Thank you." Itachi said, then he took off the street lamp on his back, took away the cloth, exposed the street lamp inside, and put the street lamp into the pit, supported by Itachi, while Kisame Hoshigaki buried it in the soil and fixed it.
"It's stable. You can stand up and try. If it's not stable, I'll make a solid base." Kisame Hoshigaki shook the street lamp. Seeing that the street lamp didn't move at all, he turned to Itachi and said.
"I believe you." Itachi said, then jumped onto the street lamp and stood on it.
As soon as he stood on it, Itachi felt something was wrong. It didn't have the original smell, and it wasn't as comfortable to stand on. But since it was like this, Itachi didn't care about him and just stood there.
Hearing Itachi's words, Kisame Hoshigaki looked up at Itachi who was standing on the street lamp. He was extremely happy. This feeling of being trusted by his partner is really good. He thought about it and asked, "Itachi, you are here. If you don't go to find your brother, does he know that you are coming? Do you want me to inform you?"
In response to Kisame Hoshigaki's question, Itachi shook his head directly and said, "No, I'll wait for him here. I believe he can feel me coming."
As he said this, Itachi crossed his arms, raised his head slightly, and looked at the sky in the distance. He was sure that with the close connection between him and Sasuke, Sasuke could feel him coming the moment he stepped into Konoha.
'Brother, I'm waiting for you, I hope you won't disappoint me. ' Itachi said in his heart.
Since Itachi said it with such certainty, Kisame Hoshigaki was not willing to waste any more time. He sat next to Itachi and waited for his younger brother named Sasuke to arrive.
Half an hour later, Itachi felt some numbness in the soles of his feet. He had been standing for too long. He moved his feet slightly, trying to relieve the numbness in his feet.
Kisame Hoshigaki, who was waiting below, was a little impatient. He looked up and saw the movements of Itachi's feet. Kisame Hoshigaki immediately said, "Mr. Itachi, if your feet feel numb while standing, please come down and take a rest."
"No need." Itachi said calmly.
Kisame Hoshigaki has been partnered with Itachi for so many years, so he naturally knows his partner's character. Once he makes a decision, he will not change it no matter what others say.
However, isn't the waiting time too long? Didn't we agree that brother and brother have a tacit understanding?
Thinking of this, Kisame Hoshigaki asked, "Mr. Itachi, I feel that waiting like this is not an option. Will your brother come? Maybe he really doesn't know you are coming?"
When Kisame Hoshigaki said this, Itachi's heart began to waver. Could it be that Sasuke and I really don't have a tacit understanding. A tacit understanding of hatred is also a tacit understanding. No, Itachi began to think elsewhere.
After thinking about it, Itachi could only think that the street light must be in the wrong position.
Thinking of this possibility, Itachi jumped down and said to Kisame Hoshigaki, "I think we still have to dig the original position so that he can know that I am coming."
"I..." Kisame Hoshigaki was speechless. If he had known better, he might as well have just dug in.
In the end, Kisame Hoshigaki was still digging at the cement floor. He just hoped that after the digging was completed, Itachi's brother could come quickly so that Itachi could finish his work and go back.
After more than twenty minutes of fierce fighting, Kisame Hoshigaki finally dug the hole. The cement ground was really difficult to dig, and Kisame Hoshigaki was exhausted and panting.
After helping Itachi re-fix the street lamp, Kisame Hoshigaki stopped checking the stability and instability and just sat down on the ground, thinking that he had to take a rest, otherwise, it would be fatal, and he might have something to do later.
Thanking Kisame Hoshigaki in his heart, Itachi jumped up to the street lamp and nodded secretly in his heart. Sure enough, this feeling was right.
Now, he just needs to wait for Sasuke to arrive.
Breeding Farm, the practice time passed quickly, and soon it was lunch time.
Until after lunch, Sasuke did not sense the arrival of Itachi. After eating, Sasuke and Naruto continued to practice.
Time passed quickly, and it was already afternoon, and the sun was already setting. At this time, it was almost time for the Ninja Academy to get out of school.
At this moment, Sasuke, who was practicing, suddenly felt his heart skip a beat, and a figure came into his mind. He stopped practicing, looked in the direction of Uchiha Clan Grounds, and whispered, "He's coming!"
Naruto has excellent hearing, so he naturally heard Sasuke's whisper. He also stopped practicing, flashed to Sasuke's side, and asked, "Is Itachi Uchiha here?"
"Well, my feeling is not wrong, he is here!" With that said, Sasuke took steps and walked in the direction of Uchiha Clan Grounds.
Naruto followed Sasuke.
Coming out of the area of Breeding Farm, Sasuke walked onto an avenue. This avenue was the road leading to Uchiha Clan Grounds. It was also built by the Uchiha Clan. There was a street light every five meters. It can be seen that Uchiha Clan was quite rich.
Sasuke was walking on this road, and suddenly he had the illusion of returning home from school. The time and place were all so imaginary, which made Sasuke couldn't help but have memories flooding back.
It's a pity that no matter how beautiful the memories are, we can't go back.
The guy who caused this result is his favorite brother Itachi Uchiha.
When he first set foot on this road, Sasuke's heart was uncertain and his mind was not calm. However, the further he walked, the quieter he felt.
The more determined the thought becomes.
Itachi Uchiha, must die!
This was his only thought at the moment.
Like a script that has been rehearsed countless times, Sasuke was walking when he suddenly stopped. When he looked up, he saw that familiar figure, holding his hands and looking into the distance.
The guy standing under the street lamp would look away, put his gentle eyes on Sasuke, and said softly, "My dear brother, you are back! Brother has been waiting for you for a long time. Come on, let's go home for dinner. Brother has cooked delicious food for you."
However, this is just an imagination from Sasuke. The reality is that the guy standing on the street lamp looked at Sasuke with a cold look on his face and said, "Hey, my stupid brother, it's been so long!"
In a teasing, obnoxious tone.
"U-Chi-Ha-Itachi!"
Sasuke raised his head, his eyes gradually turned red, and he stared at the relaxed and joking guy standing on the street lamp. As if with endless hatred, he gritted his teeth every word and said the name that haunted him.
