4 - The beginning of destruction II
Shimura hid in the courtyard of a house in the Uchiha land, playing with an eye in his hand, which was the chakra eye he had plucked from the dead Uchiha at his feet. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The dead Uchiha people on the ground had their empty eyes open, blood and tears flowing, and their expressions were chilling with incomprehension and resentment. The Uchiha didn't understand until he died, why the Uchiha Itachi would suddenly attack his fellow Uchiha on the first day of his clan's rising stars.
Shimura Danzo's expression was full of resentment, and even the writing wheel in his hand could not calm his mood. And the guy who made him angry and wanted to kill him to vent his anger still hasn't come to report to him yet.
"Why did you do it earlier?" The old man's voice with a deep and majestic voice came from the mouth of this old man in the upper echelons of Konoha.
He couldn't understand why the Uchiha Itachi didn't act at the time they had agreed before.
"Whoosh"
"My lord, the enchantment in the Uchiha clan has been laid, and the effect of the enchantment is not as strong as it was intended because of the temporary structure, so please forgive me." A man wearing a tanuki mask suddenly appeared, knelt down on one knee behind Tuanzang, and said in an uneasy tone.
Hearing this, Tuan Zang calmly raised the cane in his hand and tapped the ground twice, and the rapid sound was not as calm as his face.
"It doesn't matter, as long as there is an effect that can make the civilians of Konoha and most ninjas not notice what is happening here, you can retreat and recover the eyes of the Uchiha clan first."
"Yes." The man in the tanuki mask replied and disappeared in an instant.
On the other side, the man with the vortex mask stood in front of the junction outside the Uchiha clan's land, and his brain was a little confused.
"Ale? It's strange, why was the enchantment set up so quickly and the effect was so weak, it couldn't have been done in a hurry, right? The man said, stretching out his finger and smearing it on the energy wall of the enchantment. The moment his fingertips intersected with the enchantment, an extremely strange scene appeared, and the translucent energy wall was cut out by the man. The enchantment set up by the hundreds of people in the shadows will not be so fragile even if it is in a hurry, but it was forced out of a hole by this strange man.
The man's extremely strong physical fitness was the moment he broke the barrier, he heard the slight sound of swords in the Uchiha clan and the rising temperature in the air, which was the fire escape used by the Uchiha clan.
"Itachi, is this an early move? Gotta hurry up and help, he can't do this alone. Thinking like this, his body twisted strangely like a ripple figure of space and disappeared in an instant.
The dark part that noticed the destruction of the enchantment also rushed over, and when he turned his head, he saw that the translucent enchantment had broken a hole, and hurriedly turned around and rushed back to report.
The Uchiha Itachi stood in front of a pile of corpses of his kind, his ninja armor tattered and his muscular body scarred. Even he couldn't fight several members of the clan at the same time as the Konoha Garrison without being injured. In the original book, the Konoha garrison was eliminated by the masked man, and the result of Uchiha Itachi's failure to tell the first was that he was damaged by his subsequent actions.
Silent spatial fluctuations, and the masked man appears in front of Uchiha Itachi. Like an old friend, the masked man directly stepped forward and hooked Uchiha Itachi's neck and laughed, "Itachi, why don't you do it at the time we agreed, if you are known by the other ninjas in Konoha like this, it will be difficult for Tuan Zang to do." ”
Uchiha Itachi broke free of the masked man's arm, and said flatly like a step back, "What's the matter, anyway, it's not in Konoha after that, it's his business to do it or not." You don't talk nonsense, come and clean up the people with me. ”
"And what if he threatens Sasuke? You were allowed not to kill Sasuke, but you didn't say you wouldn't hurt him, did you? The masked man stepped forward again and tried to get close to this young man who had been the first day of the Uchiha clan but was the murderer of the clan today. He frolicked in his mouth and made jokes about the person the other party cherished the most, and looked at the young man in front of him with one eye with the only hole in the mask, "You see the old man Tuanzang, he is so insidious, we should do him by the way, so that your brother's life in Konoha will not be unsmooth in the future." How is it? ”
The masked man decided from Uchiha Itachi's early actions and words that he was dissatisfied with Danzou and tried to instigate him to kill Danzo.
Uchiha Itachi ignored the masked man's instigation and said impatiently, "I know this person, I don't need you to point fingers, hurry up and clean up the clan with me!" ”
"Did you guess wrong? Tsk, I feel a little angry when I think about giving half of my family's eyes to that bad old man. The man's face behind the mask was rather unpleasant, and the figure contorted silently again, and went to purge the Uchiha people.
"Yes, yes, the Uchiha... Genius Adult. ”
Uchiha Itachi stood silent as he looked at the place where the masked man disappeared, reached out and took out a few soldiers food pills from the marching bag behind his waist and swallowed them silently. Feeling the chakra surging back up in his body, he cast an instantaneous spell and disappeared in place.
If the rest of the guards were handed over to the masked man, there would be only a few people left in the clan.
Parents, and... Spring...
The place where I often practice and play with Izumi on weekdays is a bamboo forest in the west of the clan grounds, and Uchiha Itachi came here with his intuition.
Quietly walking through the bamboo forest to the deepest part, the boundary of the forest, Uchiha Itachi saw a figure, the familiar long black straight hair draped behind her, and her eyes were full of helplessness and tenderness.
"Izumi..."
Itachi took a few steps forward, the short knife in his hand trembling with its master, the sharp tip of the knife cutting through the air and whispering like a ghost.
Izumi Uchiha looked at Itachi wordlessly, and opened his hands as if to throw himself into his arms.
"Izumi... I'm sorry..."
The short knife that had sliced through countless people did not disappoint this time, and the name of the knife worthy of the name stabbed from Izumi's back and tore her heart.
"Itachi... It's okay..."
Izumi Uchiha stood on tiptoe and hugged Itachi with a smile, caressing his back, and his gentle movements slowly soothed the painful Uchiha Itachi's mind.
"Don't be afraid... I will always be there for you..."
Izumi Uchiha felt Itachi's pain and patience caressing his back and whispering. Itachi's frightened little beast-like body slowly stopped trembling under Izumi's comfort. He looked down at his lover.
The most important people... I'm leaving...
Izumi's body began to weaken, and his eyes were no longer able to see. She raised her right hand to search for Uchiha Itachi's cheek, and it took a long time to touch the face that had been rough from countless winds, sand, and blood. Smiling softly, Izumi Uchiha lowered his head and leaned against Itachi's chest and whispered, "Whether it's me.... Or stop the water..."
The right hand caressing Itachi's cheek drooped, and Izumi Uchiha slowly fell to the ground with his gentle support.
"We're all going to be... Accompany... You..."
Looking at the lover's already cold body lying on the ground, Uchiha Itachi's eyes became more and more cold, and the solemn expression made the once gentle temperament quietly disappear. He stepped out of the bamboo forest, and did not use the teleportation technique, and the melancholy of killing his lover made Itachi reluctant to leave this place full of memories of him and Izumi so quickly.
But he's going to kill two more people... Itachi's figure or... Run fast.
18:00pm
Uchiha Fugaku, who had noticed that there were many more abnormalities in the clan than usual, sat in the courtyard, the tea in his hand had already been refilled several times, and his wife Uchiha Mikoto also sat beside him, looking at her husband sadly.
"I can't see through the ferrets anymore." Uchiha Fugaku relieved his usual majesty as a patriarch and sighed. Uchiha Mikoto on the side wordlessly added some tea to the porcelain cup in her husband's hand again.
"I just hope that Itachi's kid won't be too painful in the future." Uchiha Mikoto said. As the patriarch's wife, she had already guessed the outcome of the choices she had made, just like her husband. And today, the time has come to accept the punishment, and the person who walks Xing is their son, Uchiha Itachi.
There was a familiar footstep sound at the entrance, and Mikoto Uchiha, who had been listening to this voice for more than ten years, immediately reacted and got up and walked to the entrance. It was no surprise that it was Itachi, her eldest son.
Uchiha Mikoto wiped the tea on her hands before, touched Itachi's hair before touching itachi, and said kindly, "I'm tired, I knew you were coming back today, so I went to the Shimogamo Shrine in the village to buy three-color balls, and made your favorite natto." The young and kind mother deliberately kept herself from smelling the blood on her son's body. The tattered ninja armor seemed to take for granted in her eyes.
Uchiha Itachi hesitated for a moment, but finally walked to the living room where he usually dined with a soft hum. Uchiha Fugaku also walked in from the courtyard, and the father and son looked at each other silently, with that helpless look in their eyes.
During this time, the father and son, who often looked at each other coldly, suddenly had a tacit silence, which made Uchiha Mikoto, who was following behind, also have the same expression as her husband and child. She came back to her senses, slapped her cheek hard, forced a smile, took their arms, and walked into the living room.
The dinner that was prepared early had already cooled down because of the wait for Uchiha Itachi, the natto had already clumped into a ball and it was difficult to stir, and the three-color dumplings had become stiff and difficult to swallow due to the change in temperature. The rest of the side dishes lost their steaming color when they came out of the oven and became dull and yellowish.
Uchiha Fugaku sat down first, and Itachi sat down unconcernedly. Neither side lifted the short knife behind the ferret's back. Because it will be used later, Itachi is too lazy to take it, and Uchiha Fugaku's attention is obviously not here.
Uchiha Mikoto couldn't help but smile apologetically when she saw that the dishes on the table had already cooled down: "I'll go and heat these dishes first, and you two will wait for five minutes." Also, itachi, take the knife down for me, how can anyone still carry the knife when eating. Uchiha Mikoto said as she reached for the dishes, intending to put them back in the microwave to heat them up.
"No, you don't."
"No, you don't."
The unanimity of the father and son startled Mikoto Uchiha, and she reached back embarrassedly and smiled awkwardly.
"Let's just eat like this, the ferret is also tired, it's better to rest early." Fu Yue picked up the chopsticks first, took a pair of chopsticks, and scrambled eggs were stuffed into his mouth, and his speech was slurred. Uchiha Itachi was a little surprised to see that his father was no longer solemn on weekdays, and silently followed with a scrambled egg with chopsticks.
"Hehehe, you two, why are you suddenly on such a good relationship! Did you secretly hide anything bad from me! Uchiha Mikoto shook off the image of a loving mother in an instant, and looked at her husband and son with a wicked smile.
"What's the matter, Mother, you think about it too much, and I wonder why my father is so good at talking today, hehe." Smiling, Uchiha Itachi took another piece of hamburger meat and stuffed it into his mouth, and said inarticulate like Fugaku.
Uchiha Itachi's speech made Fugaku not know what to say next, should he say, I know you are going to kill us, so you want to have a warm dinner at the end?
"Little bastard, what do you mean by Mother and Father, call Mom and Dad." Mikoto Uchiha smirked wickedly, leaning in on Itachi and raising her hands to rub his hair.
The words from his mother made Uchiha Itachi blush a little, and for as long as he could remember, he didn't use the title Mom and Dad, but used his mother and father, who better reflected the style of the upper class. He didn't know why his mother suddenly wanted him to use his childhood name, and the black hair on his head was constantly rubbed under the clutches of Mikoto Uchiha.
"Daddy, Mommy."
Uchiha Itachi was really a little unbearable to be harassed by his mother, and said with a little shame on his face. In order to hide his shyness, Uchiha Itachi hurriedly took a few more side dishes. At this moment, he doesn't look like a genius in the clan at all, but an ordinary, shy child under the tricks of his mother.
"Library!! Why is my son so handsome, even I have to be fascinated, Sasuke will definitely be as handsome as Itachi in the future! Fuyue, what do you say? Uchiha Mikoto was even more presumptuous by Itachi's look, and the whole person pounced on Uchiha Itachi's back. The strong smell of blood on her son's body seemed to be non-existent, and Mikoto sniffed her son's hair vigorously, as if she wanted to remember it for a lifetime.
"You shouldn't have let Uzumaki Kushina know you in the first place, look at what you look like now, okay, come down! Itachi's hair has fallen into the side dishes! The serious words came out of Fuyue's mouth in a helpless and funny tone, and he changed his former image and joked with his wife and son.
"Sasuke's words, he's still in the ninja cram school, I'll pick him up later, he'll be happy to see Itachi come back today, and we'll take a bath with the three of us later." Fugaku said falsely. He knew that his father, who didn't pick up Sasuke today, wouldn't have the three of them bathing together in the future, but he still smiled happily and squinted his eyes to hide the sadness.
"No, I'll pick up Sasuke." Uchiha Itachi stopped chewing on the piece of meat in his mouth and said to Fugaku with a serious expression. As if to reassure Fugaku, Uchiha Itachi spoke again, completely breaking the cheerful atmosphere of the original dinner: "I have already told Konoha that Sasuke will not die. ”
The originally cheerful atmosphere in the living room fell silent, and the wordless Uchiha Fugaku stared into Itachi's eyes, carefully confirming the truth contained in his words. On the other side, there was a faint sobbing voice from Mikoto Uchiha, "Why.. You kid doesn't even cherish the last meal with his family. ”
Uchiha Itachi got up and walked over to his mother's side, gently hugging her body and whispering an apology.
"Please forgive me, Mom."
All... It's all for the sake of righteousness...
Uchiha Itachi is a little confused, for the sake of Konoha's future, in order to prevent Uchiha's rebellion and give his country a chance, does he really want to kill his parents?
The tip of his nose came from the smell of oil smoke on his mother's hair that had not yet dissipated, and the special smell of laundry detergent mixed with his mother's body odor that he never got tired of smelling. He took a deep breath of fascination and quietly hugged Mai Trin in thought.
That's right, for the sake of righteousness, for the lives of the tens of thousands of villagers in the village, and for the well-being of all the people in the Land of Fire! The thousands of Uchiha lives are simply worthless compared to the entire country!
And... I can't stop anymore... The sacrifice of the water and the spring must not be in vain...
Even if I am alone, I will stick to this path that I have chosen.
With a hideous expression, Uchiha Itachi slowly pulled out a short knife from his back. The friction of the blade against the scabbard made the short knife make a sharp sound, and the Uchiha Mikoto wept silently in Itachi's arms as if she hadn't heard it.
His hands trembled again as they had when he killed Izumi Uchiha, causing the dagger to tremble like a demon's whisper.
"Wait, Itachi, let's go to the attic secret room, I don't want Sasuke to see our corpse." Fugaku stood up and raised his hand to stop Itachi's hand holding the short knife. Fuyue, who sensed that he was trembling, patted him on the back wordlessly.
"Let's go." With red eyes, Mikoto broke away from her son's embrace and followed Fuyue to the hidden tunnels of the house.
Looking at the short knife in his hand, Uchiha Itachi's eyes fell silent, as if he had died. He stood up and kept up with his parents.
