The dark-haired young man turned his head, the bandage still covering his eyes. But his face was absolutely familiar to Zhao Fenghong.

"Weasel-kun!" She ran forward in three steps and two steps, and pounced on him, like an ignorant child, and almost threw the weasel into the bamboo.

She rubbed against the ferret's body, then straightened his cheek and tried to gauge it—she tried to jump over the eyes that had lost their light, but had to see the cascading bandages. Then, she finally let go of the weasel and sat down beside him.

"Confused, aren't you? Confused, right? What's going on? Zhao Fenghong said to him, "Are you thinking like this?" ”

"......" Itachi was quiet for a while, and then his voice sounded with doubt: "Teacher? ”

"Didn't you recognize it just now?" Zhao Fenghong was a little angry: "Can't I hear my voice?" ”

“…… Because the teacher's voice will change at the age of eight, fourteen, and twenty. Itachi patiently explained.

- Forget it, it seems that you can't blame Itachi completely, she blames herself.

"Something went wrong." Zhao Fenghong pretended to be relaxed and said to Itachi: "I'm sorry, you didn't die, you are still alive." I think Sasuke's strength isn't strong enough - that's why I've got you back now. However, your purpose has been achieved, and in the eyes of the world, it was Sasuke who killed you. That's right, it was Sasuke who 'killed' you. ”

She said a lot in one breath, for fear that the Itachi would interrupt her narration or find something to do.

As she spoke, she thought she was so ridiculous—the nagging that she hadn't done for a long time had flare up again.

However, Itachi asked very strangely, "Teacher, are you ...... Remember? ”

Zhao Fenghong thought for a long time before realizing what this problem was - Itachi thought that he had erased Zhao Fenghong's memory of himself, and now Zhao Fenghong should not remember anything. Zhao Fenghong could only explain: "Oh, I am, I am an omnipotent god." It's just the erasure of memories...... Of course it didn't work for me. ”

"Really?" Itachi spoke, then said slowly, "...... I'm still alive. ”

"Don't be delusional about dying again!" Zhao Fenghong immediately emphasized: "You were saved by me, and your life no longer belongs to you!" ”

Itachi raised his head and pointed his bandaged eyes at Zhao Fenghong, as if the eye sockets without eyeballs could see Zhao Fenghong's expression through the bandages. He paused, nodded, and said, "...... Good. ”

Just such a promise does not reassure Zhao Fenghong.

Because she understands that Uchiha Itachi has put too much responsibility on herself. He was burdened with guilt and would kill himself with these things at any moment.

She had to think of a way so that he couldn't give up his life lightly.

"Are you hungry? Humans need to eat. Zhao Fenghong pondered, "What should you eat...... It is said that people who have just recovered from a serious illness cannot eat too well and can only eat liquids. What is a liquid diet? ”

She's never taken care of a human before.

Forget it, let's just exchange it - the power of the gods is only barely useful at this time. For example, exchange for a bowl of white porridge, a little food, or warm clothes.

The Uchiha Itachi had been quiet, probably just waking up from his slumber, and hadn't had much strength to think about the current situation. Only when Teru Kaede mentioned Sasuke would he be slightly moved.

The more cherished, the more cautious it is.

Zhao Fenghong racked his brains to make Itachi easier, but with little success—it was already difficult to move his heart across the people who had crossed the dead. Only something broader than death and parting could recapture his attention.

"Shall I tell you a story?"

"Okay."

"Once upon a time...... Once upon a time...... Once upon a time......"

"Shall I tell you another story?"

"Okay."

"There is such a monk, he is different from ordinary people......"

"Would you like to hear another story?"

"Okay."

"If one day, all animals suddenly could speak and have wisdom......"

Such a ferret makes Zhao Fenghong very distressed. I couldn't start, I didn't know how to ease his heart. She hesitated for many days, and finally sat down beside him and took his hand.

"I'll take you to see the Sea of Time, Itachi-kun."

“…… I can't see. Itachi said.

"You don't need to look with your eyes, you can just look with your heart." Zhao Fenghong replied.

Her fingers rested on Itachi's hand, fingertips groping the back of his thin hand. The darkness in front of Itachi's eyes was instantly expelled, and in its place, there were overwhelming stars. The sparkling starlight was everywhere, and he was like a god hanging high in the night sky, looking around at his own territory.

The golden butterflies fluttered in the light, lined up in front of him, and finally swayed and flew slowly to the woman's body—long red hair like a blooming lotus, and a pair of dark red eyes filled with hope. Her hands folded in front of her abdomen rubbed against each other nervously.

"This is, the Sea of Time?" Itachi asked.

"That's right." Zhao Fenghong took his hand and took a few steps towards the hanging place: "This is where I used to live, a country where there are no barriers and suspicions. She raised her hand, and the golden butterflies landed on her finger bones: "These are my subjects, they don't even think, let alone emotion, so they don't exclude each other, they always live together peacefully." ”

As if to confirm her words, the butterflies flew up affectionately, grinding their wings against each other, and then parted and flew towards the light in the distance.

"I'm here, in charge of time. Time can bring life or take it away. By manipulating time, I can accomplish what I want to do. Therefore, I am also called the 'God of All-Mighty' and the 'Receiver of Yellow Springs and Biluo'. ”

Itachi listened quietly to these unheard of things, and did not express surprise or strange feelings, as if they had already been accepted by him.

"What's wrong, surprised?" Zhao Fenghong asked.

"Nope." Itachi said: "It turns out that you already have a starry sky, no wonder you always subconsciously resist the world. ”

"I'm very resistant to the world, huh?" Zhao Fenghong was puzzled: "I have even come to the world countless times. ”

Itachi was silent for a moment and explained, "The teacher found out about it himself. Although you always hide yourself at the bottom and pretend to be just an ordinary human, you will subconsciously resist the approach of others and do not want to have contact with humans. In the teacher's mind, there is a difference between humans and gods after all. ”

Zhao Fenghong took Itachi's hand and walked slowly forward, taking him around the nearby time. In those radiant lights, the lives of many ordinary human beings flashed in a hurry. From birth, to youthful youth, and then to the twilight of life. From the first cry to the sleep in the tombstone.

Terukaede didn't know what Itachi was thinking—maybe he would regret not asking the gods for help. Maybe he didn't regret his choice at all, he was a very decisive person, and he never felt that sacrificing himself was a terrible choice.

According to Fenghong, she should have found something that could cross death.

That's time.

She looked at the man standing in the vast stars, and suddenly had an unprecedented thought--she felt that he should stand here, silently watching the vicissitudes of the world, even if he had no eyes, and quietly look at the world with his own heart.

Unconsciously, she showed a smile that she didn't even notice.

"Teacher, what are you laughing at?" Itachi asked.

Zhao Fenghong seemed to have done something bad and was discovered, and immediately smiled. She said, "yes...... I remembered what I said the day you left Konoha Ninja Village. ”

"Hmm."

"I said, I'll wait for you in the future."

"Hmm."

“…… Have I waited for you? ”

"I'm here."

An indescribable joy flowed from her chest, a feeling she had never experienced. She wondered blankly, was it because her feelings had returned to her body, or were they original, instinctively generated feelings in her mind? She didn't even know if she was a true god or if she still had emotions.

She has lost her eternal life, and she will grow old, sickness and die just like humans.

Perhaps, she is no longer a god, she has become time, who knows? Maybe Sharo knows.

The two of them returned from the sea of time, and Itachi's face took on a thoughtful expression, and he was clearly starting to think about something more beyond this world.

Zhao Fenghong was a little speechless - Itachi was originally a philosopher who thought a lot, and now I'm afraid he is starting to think about the greater meaning of time or life, right? If you continue like this, you will become the number one philosopher in the Fire Country!

The most powerful philosopher in the ninja world, the most powerful ninja in the philosophical world! Are you afraid?

In the days that followed, a qiē was very ordinary. Itachi recovers his mobility and can take care of his own daily life. When Itachi was there, Zhao Fenghong felt as if her heart was gradually calming down.

In the past, she was always impetuous and busy, tossing and turning between worlds and time and space, constantly moving to the next world, and there was no human being worth her stopping. And now, she seems to have found what she wants, has an accurate goal, to advance, to arrive, to quietly guard.

She felt that she had been transformed from a cold god into an ordinary person.

Occasionally, he would ask about Sasuke's condition, but Terukaede didn't know what was going on with Sasuke. More often than not, the ferret just crouches in the bamboo bushes, tentatively touching the green leaves with his fingers.

"Does Itachi-kun like them?"

"I like it."

"Blades?"

"You."

Maple Red: ......

She was wrong, she forgot about the four-year-old flirting master in front of her. She should not have challenged his majesty.

She doesn't need to eat, she doesn't need to sleep, she just needs to look at the ferret and feel satisfied. She even wanted to move a little bit in time, hoping that all Qiē would stay quietly at this moment, but she couldn't, because she knew that Itachi-kun's eyes still needed her to solve.
