There was no light around, the night was lonely, and the moonlight slanted down like water, shining on Uchiha Clan Compound, a place that was already a purgatory on earth.
The air was filled with the smell of blood, burning and rotting, which was a disgusting mixture.
Uchiha Clan, once was Shinobi World Five Great Shinobi Villages Konoha, the top and most powerful Family, but after tonight, this Family has become a piece of history of Shinobi World.
The boy who will live in the name of Uchiha in the future has also been placed by his brother in a place that has been arranged with others, and he will also embark on his own road of Fate that is destined to be bumpy.
At this time, Uchiha Itachi had finished finishing the work and was standing on the edge of the sea of fire. The blood stains on Ninja's night clothes on his body had also been cleaned by him. His eyes looked towards the burning house once called "home", and an unknown color flashed deep in his scarlet eyes.
"It seems that you finally found what you think is the right path, Itachi... Is this the only family relationship you have left, and you don't want the corpses of your clan members to be desecrated?"
Behind him, a cold voice sounded, but it was not the person Uchiha Itachi was waiting for.
Because the owner of this voice, Uchiha Itachi, is so familiar that he would never have thought that he would meet him again in this place!
Itachi slowly turned his head, his Mangekyō Sharingan showed a strange red light in the moonlight, and the shocked look in his eyes was definitely not false.
"Shisui?!"
Under the illumination of the moonlight and Kakkō, Itachi's pupils clearly reflected the figure of the other party.
Although his body shape has changed slightly, although his eyes are covered with black gauze, although his skin color does not appear as pale as that of normal humans...
But none of this stopped Itachi from recognizing the other person at a glance.
After all, in the past two years, Itachi has never forgotten his friend and teacher. The moment he saw him, his expression was really wonderful.
It was so exciting that Shisui, who is good at observing, didn't realize the real reason for Itachi's inner shock--
In Tsukuyomi World, Master Fourth Hokage, who told me about his plans and future, never mentioned to him that Shisui was still alive!
Things have changed!
"You and that Madara Uchiha..."
"I was saved by him, so I joined his organization. It was he who asked me to pick you up."
Shisui replied calmly.
As soon as Shisui finished speaking, Uchiha Itachi suddenly frowned, covered his right eye with his hand, his expression showed a trace of pain, and then closed Mangekyō Sharingan.
"It seems that you Eye Power have overused it..." Seeing this, Shisui did not become suspicious and walked forward and stretched out his hand to help Itachi.
"Thank you." As if he breathed a sigh of relief after meeting Shisui, when Uchiha Itachi slowly opened his eyes, he was already normal Three-Tomoe Sharingan, looking at him as if he was not defensive, "I can see you again. I already died because of you. It really... makes me a little excited."
In front of the ancestral house that was about to be burned down by the flames, Uchiha Itachi was talking and looking at Shisui with his own eyes, and then his eyes moved to the black gauze covering his eyes.
As if aware of Itachi's gaze, Shisui said calmly, "I have gained new power, but I can't control it well for the time being, so I can't show it to you yet."
After getting the reply from Shisui, Itachi's heart sank to the bottom.
He didn't connect to their old code.
He didn't even realize that in his eyes...
But on the surface, Itachi still showed his superb acting skills, and the expression he showed perfectly interpreted a complex expression called "just after massacring the clan members, but meeting old friends again after a long absence in the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, somewhat fortified and somewhat indescribable."
"It's over... what, do you want to leave now?"
Shisui didn't even ask any questions about what Itachi did to the Family, as if he no longer cared about it.
Itachi looked back and saw that the fire was gradually dissipating, and he felt that the memories he had with his parents and younger brother had also been burned away, leaving only a ruin here.
He was silent for a moment and replied, "You go first, I'll go and give Konoha High Command a few words."
Shisui was noncommittal, and Body Flicker Technique disappeared in place.
Itachi stood there quietly, with the wind blowing and the strong smell of blood drifting, which seemed to be mixed with some strange smell.
There are still people spying on me secretly, but they are not Shisui and Obito Uchiha. With their level, it is impossible for them to be discovered so easily.
It seems that it is those Root Ninja that are belatedly arriving.
After confirming the identity of the man in the dark, Itachi understood the other party's intention, ignored them Body Flicker Technique and left.
"Phew."
Two Root members with Mask jumped randomly and landed where Itachi was just now. One of them, Mask, had a complicated expression. "It's too late. He actually used the Fire Release technique to dispose of the body. Did he notice something?"
"Look again, maybe there are some missing things, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the adults."
"Damn it, if it weren't for that Hyuga..."
And in a secret location, Third Hokage stood alone here. From here, you could vaguely see the brightly lit village scene.
After waiting for a long enough time, he still did not see Uchiha Itachi appear.
Because of Hyuga Hiashi's unusual relationship today, Third, who vaguely guessed something was possible, let out a long sigh.
He knew that there was no possibility of reversing some of his decisions from the day he agreed to them.
Itachi didn't come back to report on his duties as agreed, which was also a silent answer.
"Huh?" Suddenly, Third noticed something strange. He turned around and saw a Kunai coming through the air. With a crisp sound, the sharp Kunai actually sank into the floor at his feet by a few centimeters.
And there was a note wrapped around Kunai.
Third looked towards the direction where Kunai was flying, and could vaguely see a Crow that blended into the night and disappeared into the air.
Opening the secret message, the first line was the location of a hidden location - this was the address Itachi had agreed with him to hide Sasuke.
In addition, there was another piece of information written in the letter. When Third saw it, he was completely stunned--
"The target suspected to be Shisui Uchiha is in [Xiao]."
At this time, it was located in Ancient Kingdom Ruins, a sparsely populated place in the sky full of Yellow Sand.
After temporarily settling the other clan members, Uchiha Izumi cautiously Earth Flow Ruins looked around, and finally saw Itachi standing quietly in front of two tombstones in a relatively flat place.
Perhaps after experiencing the moment of life and death, Quan came behind Itachi, actively and tenderly stretched out his arms to hug him, and gently rested his head on his back.
It seems that she wants to use her love to convey comfort and warm the hero who she thinks has 'saved' the clan at this moment.
But this time, Itachi didn't refuse, he chose to accept this last hug.
Her long black hair was blowing in the wind, and her delicate face was pressed against his back, full of expectation to hear him tell how she 'saved' her tribe.
There were gusts of wind and sand, and a bright moon hung in the sky.
The stars and the moon are dotted, and a pair of green people are talking under the moon.
What a beautiful and romantic scene.
However, as Itachi calmly said Truth, Izumi let go of the hug and subconsciously staggered back a few steps.
The "rustling" sound of stepping on the sand is so harsh.
When she raised her head again to look at Itachi who turned around, her eyes that were as bright as the moon just now were filled with nothing but emptiness, and even the color of despair was gone.
There is no greater sorrow than the death of one's heart.
"Why... tell me this."
Quan's voice was trembling and hoarse.
Itachi didn't speak. The next moment, a Kunai came straight towards him and pierced his chest!
The pain made Itachi subconsciously frown, and bright red blood flowed from Itachi's chest, dripping down onto the Yellow Sand along with the blood-stained Ninja suit.
As long as he advances half a minute, Kunai can penetrate his heart.
But, it stopped there.
Uchiha Izumi's hand holding Kunai was trembling, tearing open the wound like it was digging into flesh, but the sharp edge could not advance even half an inch no matter what.
She put her other hand on the handle of Kunai, wanting to push it into the heart of the man in front of her.
But in Quan's hands, this Kunai seems to be so heavy at the moment, how can she push it?
Quan's tears flowed down silently.
Since Nine-Tails' Attack was rescued by him that night, the two got to know each other;
She greeted him happily at the door of the Ninja Academy and chatted by the lake;
When walking with the clan members every day, I always look forward to meeting him by chance and want to listen to his voice;
And, and, and...
Memories of these years kept flashing through Quan's mind, and every scene was a time spent between the girl and him.
But all the scenes were frozen, frozen in his confessional expression, and frozen in Uchiha Izumi's hug at that moment just now.
Then, like wind and sand, they dissipated together in the desert.
After all, she couldn't take action, and she couldn't take revenge after all.
After all she...
"Get lost."
Accompanied by a word that was so cold that even the desert at night could freeze, Izumi pulled out the Kunai that had pierced Itachi's chest. Then when she raised her head again, the scarlet Three-Tomoe Sharingan flashing with crystal tears stared at the man she had longed for.
"Never appear in front of me again."
"Otherwise I will definitely kill you!"
Quan Jue turned around desperately and left.
Even she herself didn't notice that her tear-filled pupils Red Eye formed a sharp sword blade pattern at the moment she turned around.
Looking at Quan's retreating back, Itachi held the wound on his chest. It hurt, but he couldn't tell whether the pain came from his heart or his body.
With a self-deprecating smile, Itachi looked at the Kakkō swaying Ruins, and then looked at the two wordless tablets. After a long time, he also turned and left.
Suddenly, a memory returned to his mind as Shadow Clone disappeared, and Uchiha Itachi's whole body stayed in place--
The trap he and Fourth Hokage planned to leave for Obito Uchiha failed. Obito did not come to see his Shadow Clone in person, nor did he trigger the Kotoamatsukami he had planted for Shadow Clone!
Moreover, Kotoamatsukami's owner, Shisui Uchiha, is still alive!
In the [Xiao] organization!
