It's night.
The sky is full of stars, and the starlight mixed with the moonlight shines on the earth. As night falls, the number of pedestrians on the streets of Konoha gradually becomes less and less.
Ta... ta... ta...
Steady footsteps echoed on the Konoha street. The slightly sparse pedestrians on both sides saw the young man walking in the middle of the road with Uchiha Clan Crest printed on his clothes and couldn't help but stay away slightly. The fear and fear of the name Uchiha flashed in their eyes.
The young man looked at the exposed expressions of passers-by on both sides, sighed softly, and walked to a remote place to wait quietly for the arrival of the person he was waiting for.
Samu Carving Shop in.
The lights in the room were bright, Shino, wearing sunglasses and a windbreaker, walked up to Samu Kokaze to say goodbye.
"Aren't you going to wait any longer?" Samu Kokaze asked.
"No, it's already getting very late." Shino said while looking at the night outside the window.
"Okay, I'll come and play often when I have time in the future." Looking at Shino who had decided to leave, Samu Kokaze sighed with regret and said with a smile.
"I'll come over when I have time." Shino nodded, got up and walked towards the door.
"Shino wants to leave?" Naruto, who was having a frenzy with Ya in the house, looked at Shino who was walking out and scratched his head.
"If that guy wants to leave, just leave!" Hearing Naruto's words, Ya said impatiently.
Even though he said that, he still couldn't help but look over.
Ya followed Shino's back and looked at the dark night sky outside. He jumped up suddenly and shouted in panic, "No! My mother will never let me go if I don't go back!"
"Feng! I'm leaving first. If you need anything, just come to me!"
Bang...
The door was slammed shut, and the sound of teeth came from outside the house.
The other people in the room looked at each other as they watched Ya running away in a panic.
"Feng, let's go now. See you at the training ground tomorrow morning." Shikamaru walked over and said.
"Be safe on the road, come and play often when you have time!" Samu Kokaze stood at the door and said goodbye to the people leaving one by one, watching their backs leaving one by one, turned around and walked into the messy house.
"These guys can really make a scene!"
Looking at the food crumbs and other garbage on the floor with a headache, he sighed, and Nanobugs like a wave came out from behind Samu Kokaze, transforming into various cleaning tools to clean the house.
Starlight shone on the street of Konoha. Sasuke held the gift in his hand, picking it up and looking at it a few times, with a hint of happiness on his handsome face.
"Sasuke!" A young voice came from the front.
"Brother?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Sasuke called out softly, looked up at the figure appearing in front of him, and ran over happily.
"Did you enjoy your first visit to your friend's house?" Itachi, who was wearing a handsome black robe and wearing Konoha Forehead Protector on his forehead, lowered his head slightly and looked at Sasuke who was full of joy and asked.
"Yeah!" Sasuke nodded happily.
"Brother, do you know! The place I went to today is actually the place where you bought me the wood carvings the year before last. He also specially prepared a gift for me, look!"
Sasuke excitedly described what he had experienced today, wishing he could share all his happiness with Itachi.
"Really?" Itachi reached out and took the metal robot from Sasuke's hand and looked at it carefully.
"Very good craftsmanship. It can transform without being driven by chakra. Compared with the puppets made by Sand Village, it is not much different." Itachi sighed softly, and only took a few glances to see the entire machine.
"Brother is so awesome!" Sasuke looked at Itachi with admiration.
"Go home! Sasuke!" Looking at Sasuke who looked at him with admiration, he stretched out his hand to hold Sasuke's hand and trembled slightly.
When I think about what is about to happen next, I feel bursts of tearing pain in my heart.
"Yeah!" Sasuke responded happily.
Looking down at Sasuke who was playing with the toys in his hands, Itachi secretly swore in his heart. "In order for you to survive, my brother will pay any price, any price..."
"What's wrong? Brother!" Feeling that Itachi's mood was not right, Sasuke asked aloud.
"It's okay!" Itachi shook his head, looking at the station belonging to the Uchiha Clan in front of him, his expression darkened, "The time is almost here."
Itachi took Sasuke into the Uchiha mansion, passed through various large and small courtyards, and came to the owner's mansion located in the center of Uchiha.
"Father, we are back."
Itachi walked into the house with Sasuke, looked at Fugaku Uchiha sitting in the house and said hello softly.
"Yes!" Fugaku Uchiha, who was sitting cross-legged on the tatami in the room, crossed his arms and looked at the two people who entered the room, and nodded majestically.
"Are Itachi and Sasuke back?" Mikoto Uchiha, who was staying in the kitchen, heard the noise in the front room, leaned out of the kitchen to take a look, and happily greeted several people to come over for dinner.
On the dinner table.
"Itachi! Come to my study after dinner." Fugaku Uchiha, who was the first to finish eating, said in a deep voice.
"I understand, Father." Itachi's hand holding the chopsticks paused and nodded in response.
Mikoto Uchiha, who was sitting next to Fugaku, glared at Fugaku, looked at Sasuke who was eating quickly at the dinner table and asked gently, "How was your outing today? Are you happy?"
"Yes!" Sasuke agreed excitedly, describing everything that happened today.
Fugaku Uchiha glanced at his wife who was talking to Sasuke, stood up and walked towards the study.
"Father!"
Watching Fugaku leave, Itachi sat on the stool in silence for a moment, then stood up and followed him.
Looking at Fugaku and Itachi leaving, Mikoto Uchiha, who knew the family's recent preparations, looked gloomy.
She would rather hope that she lives in an ordinary ninja family, so that Fugaku doesn't have to worry about family affairs every day, and Itachi doesn't have to bear these responsibilities that even many adults can't bear. You know, he is still a thirteen-year-old child!
"Mom?"
Sasuke looked at Mikoto Uchiha who suddenly looked a little sad, and shouted in confusion.
"It's okay, Sasuke keep talking, mom, listen!"
Mikoto Uchiha put back the messy thoughts in his heart and continued to listen to Sasuke happily telling what happened today.
In the study, Fugaku and Itachi sat cross-legged. Fugaku, who always maintained a strict fatherly attitude in front of Itachi and Sasuke, looked at the dazed Itachi and frowned.
"Itachi, are everything at Anbu ready?"
Fugaku's majestic voice sounded in the study.
"Really, everything is irreversible! Father..." Itachi lowered his head, his voice hoarse.
"I've told you this problem a long time ago. From the beginning of Konoha's establishment, the relationship between us Uchiha and Konoha has never been very good, let alone what happened after Nine-Tails Incident happened a few years ago."
"At this point, I, the leader of the clan, can no longer stop it just by saying I can."
Fugaku paused in his majestic voice, looked at Itachi's clenched fists in front of him, sighed slightly in his heart, but did not show it on his face at all, and continued, "As Uchiha's current highest combat power, you must not make any mistakes."
"I know, father!" Listening to his father's words, even though he had already made up his mind, he still felt bursts of tearing pain.
He raised his lowered head, and the three blood-red Tomoe in his eyes rotated slightly, forming a wonderful pattern.
