The memory of that day was the first time Sasuke knew that Konoha had a root, as the dark side of Konoha, just like its name, the root under the big tree.
All actions that affect the name [Shadow] will be done with a root.
And the shadow will say afterwards that these things are all done by the roots.
This is Sasuke's understanding and the reason why he also hates the third generation.
Clenching his hands tightly, Sasuke looked at Quan: "The fear from that person will fade over time. This is what you told me, Sister Quan. If this continues, if this continues..."
"I will die."
Quan smiled calmly: "I know that Danzo at the root will not give up. He wants to take back the nine three-magatama Sharingan again. For more than four years, that intimidation gave me more life. for more than four years.”
"Besides... I also asked my mother. My mother told me clearly that I don't have an older brother."
Having said this, Izumi looked at Sasuke with a smile and reached out to rub his hair: "When I touched you when I was little, you would cry, but now you have really become my little brother."
Speaking of this, Uchiha Izumi's eyes gradually became serious.
"That person may be, as we guessed, not from this world. He may exist in another world and be my brother from another world."
"I told you that placing all your hopes on others is the stupidest decision. You are the only remaining male of the Uchiha clan, and you need to shoulder the future destiny of this clan."
"I will take that nine-magatama Sharingan with me on every mission. If you kill me, he will get these things. Izanagi, one Sharingan can release the technique once, you have to remember. "
"I got what he wanted, but you still haven't shown your eyes. Without the value of removing it, the third generation is very likely to stop him, because your existence is a fig leaf for the destruction of the Uchiha clan."
"You must remember what I said. Only by surviving can you have the opportunity to take revenge and allow Uchiha to continue to exist in this world."
After the words fell, both of them fell silent.
It wasn't until Sasuke nodded heavily with red eyes that Izumi breathed a sigh of relief.
But then he confessed: "Of course there may be another situation..."
Sasuke clenched his fists: "I will definitely protect Aunt Hazuki, even if it means risking my life!!"
"boom."
After being knocked on the forehead, Sasuke raised his head and was met with a pair of angry eyes.
"Mother doesn't need your protection!"
Quan solemnly said: "If it reaches that point and Danzo and the Third are still unwilling to let Uchiha go, then you should run away! Run at all costs!"
"With the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan, even an elite jounin will be hit hard by you if you are unexpected! Run away and ignore your mother. Even if someone uses your mother to tell you to stop, don't pay attention!"
Sasuke lowered his head and his eyes were bloodshot: "I can't do it!"
After a moment of silence, Quan sighed.
"My mother said that if you stay in that situation, she will commit suicide!"
After the words fell, Sasuke raised his head suddenly.
The power of his pupils flickered in and out of his eyes, and he suppressed the kaleidoscope that was on the verge of exploding due to emotions.
Because he knew very well that even at this time, there were still people outside the house watching over him.
Finally, the emotion that wanted to destroy the entire world was gradually suppressed.
In more than four years, he has learned how to perform and how to control his emotions.
Quan, who was standing opposite him, waited until he calmed down before continuing: "You are a smart boy and should be able to know the reason for doing this. Turning back will only get you all killed, if it comes to that."
"And if we all die, as the only remaining Uchiha, all of us will die, then the only remaining Uchiha will be Uchiha Itachi."
The appearance of this name made Sasuke close his eyes.
In more than four years, this name has never appeared, because both Sister Quan and Aunt Yeyue have carefully protected themselves.
But he doesn't exist!
That beastly bastard was the culprit that caused all of this to happen.
No matter what, he should not continue to carry the Uchiha surname and continue to live in this world.
"I see."
A hoarse voice sounded, and Quan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After a while, Quan smiled and said, "Go to rest early. Tomorrow is your first ninja mission, so you need to get up early."
Sasuke lowered his head and nodded.
…
The next day, early morning.
Sasuke, who had just gone out after breakfast, saw two figures in the shadows from the corner of his eye.
Just as he was about to ignore him and leave, the two men wearing masks suddenly appeared in front of Sasuke, but their eyes were fixed on Sasuke's back.
In an instant, the hands deliberately placed in his pockets tightened.
"Izumi Uchiha, I have a mission."
A scroll was handed over directly, and Izumi, who was behind Sasuke, took it without any abnormality.
After looking at it, he nodded.
"I see."
According to past practice, they would immediately leave at this time, because this meant that Sister Quan would accept the task.
But this time...
"Urgent mission, register at the village gate to leave the village in fifteen minutes!"
Uchiha Izumi pretended to be confused and said: "Are you in such a hurry? You still need to prepare ninja tools..."
Before he finished speaking, the other party replied directly: "Everything is ready, you just need to assemble. Obey the order, Uchiha Izumi!"
Quan smiled and nodded: "Understood!"
Seeing the target's cooperation, the two masked guys left in an instant, but it was obvious that they were still nearby.
At this moment, Sasuke, who had his back to Izumi, was trying his best to control his emotions.
Because he knew very well that the other party couldn't bear it anymore and was about to take action. Otherwise, we would not only give fifteen minutes.
This is the root cause, they want the third generation to have no time to react.
The Third Hokage also wanted to test whether that person would appear again, but he was never willing to pay the price of irritating him. In this case, Danzo's position was inconsistent with his.
At this time, it is too late to find a way to notify the third generation, and it will be regarded as another temptation instead of taking action.
Is there any way?
"Sasuke! It's your first day as a ninja, so work hard!"
A voice sounded from behind.
Sasuke turned around and smiled: "I'm not a child anymore, Izumi-san has to work hard too!"
The two waved their hands and then turned around.
The smile on his face is like the warm sun, but one's heart is like a knife, and the other is generous enough to die.
…
Fifteen minutes of preparation time, in fact, there is basically no time to prepare, because it takes nearly ten minutes to get to the village gate from here.
After Izumi Uchiha left the village, he was greeted by the same two masked roots.
One on the left and one on the right, vaguely surrounding it in the middle.
Then without saying a word, the three of them headed north.
There were two breaks in between, and soon night fell.
At this time, the three of them were already in the country of Tang, ready to stop for repairs again.
Still saying nothing, except for staring Uchiha Izumi to death on the left and right, they each got ready.
It's just that in Uchiha Izumi's perception, there are more than ten chakras not far away, and those following him are obviously people from the root.
With such a number, they could actually attack him at any time, but in the Sharingan's perception, those beings did not surround him.
After thinking for a moment, Quan looked at the guy on the left: "What...are you waiting for?"
Terai, who was wearing a mask, looked over and said, "You are very smart. Since you are a smart person, don't ask too many questions."
Uchiha Izumi frowned: "If I hide what Danzo wants, you will be very distressed, right?"
After a moment of silence, Terai said solemnly: "You have many weaknesses...your mother, and that Uchiha brat, these are your weaknesses."
"Too much to say!"
The masked root voice on the right sounded, and then the three of them fell silent.
No one will care about a dying person.
As for what they must get, they are not worried about not getting it. As I just said, this woman has too many weaknesses.
The night passed silently.
The next day they continued on their way without saying a word. When it got dark again, the three of them had arrived at the border of the Frost Kingdom.
But this time, in Uchiha Izumi's perception, those guys who followed him finally took action.
But it doesn't seem to be just targeting him, so who else will show up?
Just as doubts arose, several figures appeared in the woods in the distance.
"I didn't expect such a thing to happen."
"It's really troublesome to ask me to kill a woman."
A man and a woman, wearing Kumogakure's forehead protectors.
Samoy looked at the three Konoha ninjas in front of him, while Darui on the side looked like he was not awake.
The root ninja here stepped forward and said: "According to the negotiation, you can take one of her Sharingan, let's do it."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
Samoy's face was full of disdain: "It's really like Konoha's style...it was the same time nine years ago, and it's the same this time."
Terai frowned: "Don't provoke..."
At this time, a figure stood on the big tree nearby and said condescendingly: "Provocation? I think Konoha can withstand provocation now. If you dared to fight, you would have started fighting nine years ago."
The two roots looked over at the same time.
"Two Jinchūriki, two Yukijin!"
Terai's eyes under the mask shrank: "If you have other plans, I advise you to give them up!"
For a moment, figures flickered in the darkness of the forest. They were a dozen root ninjas following.
Ever since, both sides started to confront each other.
At this time, Quan also guessed Genbe's plan.
Danzo, whose arm was cut off by someone who met him in person, was still afraid of that person even after four years.
The nine three-magatama Sharingan are very important, but if that one appears again, it will be impossible for the roots to withstand it.
So he wanted to die in Kumogakure's hands, and at the same time, he used his mother and Sasuke to threaten him and hand over the nine eyes.
…
The confrontation did not last long.
After both parties restrained themselves a little, Nebu Terai looked at Uchiha Izumi.
"It's now clear that you need to hand things over to us."
Another root also spoke: "You know the price of rejection very well, hand it over, and then die according to your own destiny. This is your best choice."
Izumi raised his head slightly, his eyes already formed three Magatama Sharingan eyes.
"My fate... Is it the fate that I should have died four years ago?"
Izumi said with a smile: "Duanzo is still afraid, right? He's afraid that the master will suddenly appear, so he asked Kumogakure's people to kill me."
"No... what he is afraid of is probably that the adult will appear again one day in the future. In that case, you can blame Kumogakure for my death."
These words made the three people opposite Yunyin frown.
Darui looked at the big tree aside: "Master Yumu, have we been tricked by them?"
Samyi said in a deep voice: "Yuyin Yun is never afraid of any challenge!"
"Uh-huh!"
Yumuren jumped down and landed steadily among several people.
"The only person left in the Uchiha clan who can make Danzo afraid is the Uchiha Itachi who exterminated the clan, apart from women and children. He alone will not be Kumogakure's opponent."
Before Quan could say anything, Terai blocked it back.
"Don't think about causing us any trouble before you die. You only have five seconds to think about it. If you don't hand over the things, Uchiha Sasuke and your mother will be dealt with..."
The calm voice was full of threats.
Uchiha Izumi suddenly relaxed his clenched hands, took out a seal scroll, and then threw it over.
Another root reached out to take it and handed it directly to the supporter behind him.
Ten seconds later, the root ninja who reappeared nodded and disappeared again.
Yunyin and the other three people saw all the actions, but they had no intention of snatching them.
"Very good, now you can take action."
Terai and the other root looked at each other, and then backed away in unison.
The Yuki man on the opposite side looked at all this and sighed: "There are only four surviving Uchiha in the entire ninja world, and one of them is a woman who changed her surname after marrying. There are only three real Uchiha left, but they are still not recognized by the village. Tolerance..."
"Your clan...the clan whose ancestors and Senju jointly founded Konoha, seems really pathetic now..."
"But don't worry, although you will definitely die, before you die, some people will die before you."
Darui on the side followed closely and said: "In this case, at least I am avenging you, right? Even though you are an enemy, I still think you are quite pitiful."
Samyi said in a deep voice: "Even the people in the village can achieve this level. In my impression, only Kirigakure is the only one. For such a village, decline and destruction will be a matter of time."
The words of the three people alerted the two of them.
The next moment, thunder and lightning flashed in the dark forest.
The screams accompanied by thunder and lightning began to be heard endlessly.
