The setting sun gradually falls into the sky, and the afterglow that falls on the ground has a different kind of beauty. It is like the splendor of something before it comes to an end.
Uchiha Itachi, wearing an ANBU ninja uniform, was half-kneeling on the platform of the Hokage Building. Standing in front of him was the Hokage Sandaime Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"You're back, Itachi."
"Thanks for your hard work."
"Has Sunagakure Village agreed to conclude an offensive and defensive alliance contract with us? Regarding the incident in the north, that old guy Onoki is really angry."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was worried and didn't say anything else, only talking about this mission.
"I'm sorry, Hokage-sama, but on the way I remembered something that needed to be done as soon as possible, so I hurried back."
"I believe that 'Xiang' will complete the subsequent negotiations with Sunagakure Village perfectly."
"Please forgive me for this behavior."
Uchiha Itachi lowered his head and responded.
Because of the existence of Madara, he saved a lot of time with the help of the weird space ninjutsu.
"Something important?"
Hearing this, the white-haired old man standing with his back to him repeated softly, and Yu Zhi couldn't help but have a touch of complicated emotions in his eyes.
He naturally knew about Itachi's early return.
The ANBU had already sent back the message through the falcon as soon as the other party left.
As for the important things he said, if I am not wrong, it should be...
"The Uchiha clan intends to rebel and regain their former glory and power. I came back to completely eliminate this hidden danger."
"Thank you, Lord Sandaime, for giving that clan such a long time to reflect on themselves. They are too paranoid."
Itachi said calmly.
His heart had already been polished to be extremely tough during the past two years in ANBU, and his last struggle was completely wiped out when the clan began to prepare for war.
As the words fell, the whole world seemed to fall into an unspeakable silence.
Sarutobi Hiruzen closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time.
Erasing the Uchiha clan is something he doesn't want to see, because it is related to the overall strength of the village and the future of the Fire Nation!
Among the five great ninja villages, the Fire Country is in the most awkward position. Although it is vast and rich in resources, Sunagakure, Kirigakure, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure are surrounded by four corners in the center.
Even though Konoha is still vaguely ranked first in terms of strength, it has also concluded an alliance contract with Sunagakure.
But how could Hiruzen, who had lived half his life, believe in a contract so easily? It's just paper that can be shredded at any time.
But Uchiha is truly the mainstay of Konoha.
Just relying on the strength of the clan to block the craziest blood mist.
If this power is directly wiped out from Konoha, what will happen next? How could he not worry or hesitate?
The so-called peaceful era.
After all, it's just an appearance.
Sunagakure is dormant in silence, Kumogakure is still strong, Iwagakure's unity is impeccable, and Kirigakure still implements extremely bloody internal and external concepts.
"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer."
"I will definitely find a way to handle the relationship between Uchiha and Konoha."
Publicly or privately, he could not give orders directly.
"However, if that hopeless clan is not wiped out, Konoha will eventually fall into civil strife, and the neighboring countries will never let go of such an opportunity."
"By then, the Fire Country will suffer greater disasters, and no one will give up plundering the riches of this region."
Uchiha Itachi's words became more serious.
"Sandaime-sama, you are still too gentle. Leave the Uchiha matter to me."
he went on to add.
silence.
The platform fell silent again.
I don't know how long it took, but maybe the sun completely set, and the lightless darkness hid the face of Sarutobi Hiruzen...
"Besides Sasuke, do you have any other wishes?"
The old man wearing the Hokage hat compromised.
"Um."
"I don't want the glory of the Uchiha clan to be completely wiped out, so please put all the blame on me."
After receiving the Sandaime's promise, Itachi's eyes gradually returned to calmness.
Regarding the family, this is his last bit of tenderness.
"Uchiha is the proudest family in Konoha. Its achievements and glory will be remembered by every Konoha ninja and every Konoha resident."
"The glory of Uchiha will continue and be passed down with the will of fire."
"Uchiha has never thought of starting civil strife."
At the end of the sentence, Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice was filled with some different emotions. He gently pulled down the brim of his hat, as if he didn't want others to see his true emotions at the moment.
"Thank you, Sandaime-sama."
"Then I'll take my leave first."
Itachi stood up slowly, without any trace of confusion in his eyes.
In this regard, the white-haired old man did not say a word.
He still seemed to be drowning in sadness.
'Nidaime-sama, Kagami, is what I did right? '
At this moment, even Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had experienced fighting Danzo for half his life, could not be sure.
"By the way, Hokage-sama."
Weasel walked to the edge of the platform and stopped abruptly.
"The wilderness of my clan should still be outside the village."
Mentioning that person, Uchiha Itachi couldn't help but have ripples in his eyes.
In just two years, the other party has caught up with him, and even surpassed him in some aspects.
Itachi really didn't know what kind of monster was hidden in that person's body, supporting him to crazily squeeze out all his potential.
Is it hate?
He suddenly recalled how Ara came to question Shisui after his death.
That almost solidified anger, that hatred that penetrated into his bones.
"Araya has reached the village."
Sarutobi Hiruzen responded in a complicated tone.
"However, Danzo's people are waiting for him."
The white-haired old man continued to advance.
Hearing this, Uchiha Itachi's eyes flashed with confusion, but he didn't say anything after all.
'Shisui also died in Danzo's hands. '
"I see."
After saying a few concise words, he disappeared into the darkness.
at the same time.
The border of Konoha, the area where the village can be seen at a glance.
Huang stopped his frenzied pursuit and adjusted his breath forcibly, because there were four ninjas wearing white masks lined up in his field of vision.
certainly.
Only in the field of vision.
Ara had never believed a word of Fugaku's words. The fact that he had made a contract with Sunagakure and that he would not be able to come back for a while could all be a maze set up by the top management of Konoha.
However, due to the pressure of public opinion and the trust of the tribe, he had to go to the empty area.
But after getting all the ninja tools, he rushed back without stopping. The night that ordinary people were afraid of was no different from the day.
"Hey, we meet again. I really didn't expect that you could become such a troublesome person in just two years."
The speaker was a ninja with blue lines on his mask.
Huang remembers this mask.
On the training ground in Konoha, he once came off to try to capture him. He was a powerful jounin who was good at taijutsu and resistant to the Sharingan.
"Tsk, if that adult had made up his mind earlier and erased you and Shisui together, there wouldn't have been so much trouble."
"Ryoma will not die either."
There was a rare sadness in his tone.
"But, it's not too late."
The leader's root ninja's voice suddenly turned cold.
But Huang turned a deaf ear to this, and his black pupils turned red at some point. Two magatama slowly appeared on them, and the fists hanging by his sides were clenched.
Because his chest was filled with rage.
'Weasel! ! ! '
