This is Your Measure

Aoba Raimei's face was full of confidence and familiarity.

Hyuga Kagami: "..."

You really embody the Cloud Village's tradition of kidnapping!

No matter when, you can think of kidnapping ninjas, this is just outrageous!

In the shadows.

Uchiha Itachi's face suddenly turned pale, his Sharingan staring intently at Hyuga Hizashi's corpse, unable to believe any of it!

"How could this be, this is impossible!"

The two tomoe Sharingan in his eyes spun madly.

Cold sweat beaded on his forehead.

"Lord Hokage would absolutely not do such a thing. Every ninja in the village, every villager, is family to each other, a being to be protected. How could Lord Hokage... do such a thing?"

"Lord Hokage... is the kindest person!"

He slumped onto a branch, leaning against the trunk behind him.

"Could it be... that the peace I've always wanted to protect, the village I've always wanted to protect... is all a lie?"

When the goal one has always considered an honor and strived for becomes foam and a false lie.

A person's worldview will collapse!

They will become decadent!

They will fall into self-doubt, even... suicide!

Uchiha Itachi looked up at the crescent moon in the sky. It was midsummer, yet he felt an bone-chilling cold!

"Why did it turn out this way?"

He couldn't help but look at Hyuga Kagami, his eyes full of dejection and pain: "Kagami-kun also loves peace and wants to protect the village. When he knows about this... he must be in great pain too, right?"

Uchiha Itachi's gaze couldn't help but drift to Hyuga Kagami.

Kagami-kun... what choice will he make?

On the scene.

Aoba Raimei said with a chuckle, "Brother, I'll leave the body to you, and I'll be going now!"

As he spoke, he turned and pulled the teammate beside him, turning to leave, a layer of cold sweat breaking out behind him!

This guy is too terrifying.

Just making eye contact with him made him feel a soul-stirring pressure.

Damn it!

When I return to the Cloud Village, I will definitely report this to Lord Raikage, and you will die without a burial place!

"Of course, I wish you a safe journey."

Hyuga Kagami spoke slowly, the corners of his mouth turning up.

The next moment, with a puff of smoke, a Great Hammer appeared in his hand!

A one-meter-five Great Hammer, compared to his one-meter-seventy-four height, created a huge visual disparity!

"You're untrustworthy! I've already given you the body and told you everything!"

Aoba Raimei's expression changed. He finally understood that Hyuga Kagami had no intention of letting them go!

From the very beginning, their end had already been decided!

But why... did the other party still waste his breath?

He was a little confused.

"Trust?"

Hyuga Kagami sneered, his smile unrestrained and wild: "When has your Cloud Village ever been trustworthy? When have you ever followed the rules?"

"Idiot!"

His gaze swept casually, and on a tree, Uchiha Itachi sat slumped on a branch, his face full of despair...

Uchiha Itachi's belief in protecting Konoha collapsed at this moment!

This is how it should be.

Otherwise, for himself, Uchiha Itachi, who wanted to protect Konoha, would sooner or later become his enemy.

But now it was different. When Uchiha Itachi's faith collapsed, he could become Uchiha Itachi's new faith!

Whoosh!

A sound of breaking air!

Hyuga Kagami stomped his foot fiercely!

The ground cracked, and he shot out like a human-shaped Tyrannosaurus Rex, smashing Aoba Raimei fiercely with one hammer!

"Pfft!"

Aoba Raimei spat out blood and was sent flying backward, his life or death unknown!

"I'm going to kill you!"

Another Cloud Village ninja's eyes turned red, and he roared, "Kill us, and Konoha and the Cloud Village will surely erupt into war. At that time, your Konoha will..."

He roared, trying to disrupt Hyuga Kagami's mind.

But the next moment, he was met with Hyuga Kagami's cold face and a suddenly descending Great Hammer!

Boom!

From top to bottom!

His body turned into a bloody pulp!

"Idiot, so much nonsense."

Hyuga Kagami said indifferently, "Don't you know the principle that villains die from talking too much?"

He couldn't be bothered to look at the two of them again and casually used a Sealing Scroll to collect Hyuga Hizashi's corpse.

Although this corpse was of no use to him.

At a critical moment, it might play a decisive role.

"Uchiha Itachi?!"

Suddenly, he turned back sharply, as if he had just noticed.

Whoosh!

A sound of breaking through the air rang out!

He instantly appeared on the tree trunk, looking at Uchiha Itachi with a cold face, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes, like the fluster of someone whose secret had been discovered.

"Why are you here?"

"Did you see everything just now?"

Uchiha Itachi looked up in despair, his face full of dejection, "Kagami-kun... why would the Hokage do something like this? Why has he become like this? Isn't he Konoha's hero, Konoha's ninja hero?"

At this moment, Uchiha Itachi lacked the brilliance of his past genius.

He lacked his usual calmness and intelligence.

At this moment, Uchiha Itachi was as helpless as an abandoned child.

"Sigh."

Hyuga Kagami sighed and sat down beside Uchiha Itachi helplessly. He looked up at a forty-five-degree angle, gazing at the night sky, a hint of helplessness appearing in his eyes, "I don't understand either."

"But I know that doing this is wrong. Just like that Cloud Village ninja said, as the Hokage, one should protect other ninjas and villagers. This is what the Hokage should do."

He paused and patted Uchiha Itachi's shoulder.

"Perhaps... it's not that the Hokage has changed, but that he was always like this. He was just pretending to be kind and benevolent in front of us."

Uchiha Itachi's face turned even paler!

Like white paper!

Devoid of color.

"Why is this happening? Why is Konoha like this? Father has always wanted to rebel, the Hokage is benevolent on the surface but ruthless in reality, and within Konoha... what is there that can be trusted?"

Uchiha Itachi gave a wry smile.

He was lost.

His life seemed to have lost all hope.

"Uchiha Itachi!"

Hyuga Kagami snorted coldly, stood up, his posture straight, his face full of wildness and unyielding spirit!

"Is your capacity only this much?"

He roared sternly.

He almost cursed Uchiha Itachi to his face!

Uchiha Itachi's face was pale, "But what can we do?"

"The Hokage doesn't love Konoha as he appears, the Uchiha clan has ulterior motives, and Konoha has an even more rotten Root... Konoha... has already rotted to its core."

"All we can do... is to rot along with Konoha."

His eyes dimmed.

Like a dying person awaiting death.
