Chapter 51: The Darkness Under the Roots

When Kakashi Hachiki returned to the village, he saw the ruined Uchiha clan station.

Standing like a sculpture in front of the ruins, Kakashi was silent for a long time.

Before the night of the Uchiha's extermination, Kakashi, Kai, and the ninjas of the Sarutobi family were all sent out on a mission and happened to be out in the village.

In fact, this is not the first time, whenever Danzou makes a big move, Kakashi can't be in the village.

Under the forehead guard of the oblique belt, Kakashi clearly felt the presence of the writing wheel.

The Uchiha Obito has long since passed, and now, the Uchiha clan has also been destroyed, and Kakashi has mixed feelings.

Under the rule of Danzo's increasingly repressive desire for control, a growing sense of discontent is brewing within the Konoha Ninja Village, which will explode sooner or later.

Thinking about it, Akai was like crazy and went out on missions, and he didn't want to stay in the village for a moment. With Akai's character, he couldn't stay too long in a village where even the air was oppressive.

"Kakashi, get out of here, don't stay too long."

The root ninja who clears the ruins waves to drive Kakashi away.

"Roger." Kakashi looked lazy and raised his hand, "Stay a little longer." ”

The current Konoha Ninja Village makes Kakashi extremely disliked, but he can't think of a good solution at the moment.

Rebellion? No, you can't do it. It's okay to be brute, you have to have enough strength. After all, the mighty Uchiha clan was wiped out in the blink of an eye.

If you're in a bad mood, you won't even be able to eat.

There are many delicacies in Konoha Village, such as the bowl of Ichiraku ramen in front of Kakashi. Faced with the delicious ramen, Kakashi didn't move.

Naruto didn't come today, Kakashi ordered it for Naruto.

"Kakashi, you're alone in a daze."

"Lu Jiu, it's you." Kakashi's dead fish eyes rolled up and he glanced at Shikahisa, which was considered to have said hello.

"First the Sarufei clan was suppressed, and then the Uchiha clan, which family will be next?" Kakashi rubbed the corners of his eyes tiredly.

"Kakashi, the problems we have are not worth mentioning as the problems that our ancestors encountered. It's going to be fine. ”

"Whether we choose to make changes or those who come after us make choices, the future will be bright."

"Shaded from the sun, Konoha will provide shelter. Shrouded in roots, nothing but darkness remains. ”

"And we can't be in the dark forever."

Shikaku came here, and it seemed that he didn't tell Kakashi any useful information, but Kakashi learned about Shikaku's attitude.

In the current situation, Nara Shikahisa is also powerless.

Lu Jiu recommended himself to become the dog-headed military division of Tuanzang, if it weren't for Lu Jiu, the Ape Fei clan would not have been suppressed, but exterminated.

The rebellion of the Uchiha clan may be an excuse for Danzo, but the rebellion of the Sarufei clan is a real rebellion.

Kakashi also pinned his hopes on Jiraiya, or Tsunade, but the thought of Orochimaru, who was in the same stream as Danzo, made Kakashi feel powerless.

In his ninja career, which was neither long nor short, Kakashi had never been more confused than he was now.

"Ichiraku, I'm leaving. This ramen ......"

"Understood, leave it to Naruto, little ghost."

Ichiraku stepped out of the back kitchen and opened the curtain, "Watch your food, Kakashi, go on!" ”

Ichiraku threw a simple bento to Kakashi far away, and Kakashi thanked him.

The ruins of the Uchiha clan were gradually being cleared, and for several days, a yellow-clothed, yellow-haired imp crouched like a puppy and watched the crowd looking for something.

Beside him, there were three imps crouching in the same posture as him.

"Brother Naruto, how long are we going to wait here?" Konohamaru complained, "I'm hungry!" ”

Moe Huang and Udon also chimed in.

Sasuke's house is gone, and little Naruto has a hunch that Sasuke won't come back.

Another friend is gone. Naruto was devastated in his heart.

Unlike the original book, in the original book, it was after the fall of the Uchiha clan that Naruto met Sasuke, the orphan of the Uchiha clan.

In this plane that has been disturbed by Uehara, Itachi respects the wave of wind and water, so he also likes Naruto. Naruto had no friends, and Itachi intended for Sasuke to take the initiative to reach out to Naruto.

Because he was still young, Sasuke didn't develop an arrogant stinky temper, on the contrary, Sasuke liked Naruto who wanted to treat himself to grilled fish as soon as he met.

For Naruto, Sasuke is also one of the few peers who has shown kindness to him.

Everyone who has good intentions towards Naruto is regarded by Naruto as a cherished friend.

Naruto didn't know what Konoha had been like before, he thought that Konoha had always been like this. He didn't understand why Sasuke's house was destroyed by the people of the village, weren't they companions?

No one gave Naruto an answer, and the doubts lingered in Naruto's heart for a long time.

Naruto began to have doubts about the village in his heart, especially Danzo.

Naruto didn't like Danzo.

In Naruto's innocent world, he didn't know what he hated.

——

"Sasuke," Itachi, who was concentrating on roasting the hare, suddenly stopped turning the hare, Itachi glanced at Sasuke carefully, Sasuke was looking at the hare intently, "Daddy is dead." Itachi told the truth in as calm a tone as possible.

"I guessed it. I guessed it when my brother came back. ”

Sasuke was calmer than Itachi had expected.

"You...... There's no sadness or anything. No one is chasing us anymore, if you want to cry......"

"I don't want to cry," Sasuke pursed his mouth and shook his head stubbornly, "There's no point in crying. ”

Itachi's nose is sour, and his younger brother is sensible and distressing.

"It should be okay, Sasuke, you can eat first."

"I want my brother to eat first." Sasuke sensibly picked up the roast rabbit and handed it to Itachi, "Brother needs to recover his strength faster to protect me." ”

That's true, Itachi smiled slightly, stroked Sasuke's head, took the roasted hare and gobbled it up. He was starving.

"Is my brother worried that an enemy is coming? It's been a long time since you've rested. Sasuke took out the kunai and Itachi to show off, "My shuriken skills are also very good, so I'll help you guard when you're resting, brother." ”

Who is Itachi? Who dares to say in front of him that shuriken is powerful?

Therefore, when Sasuke wanted to show off his shuriken skills, Itachi frowned and expressed doubt.

"Leave it to me, Sasuke."

"When I was in the village, my father said more than once that he always felt a little uneasy."

"I feel the same way."

"Now all the disasters have happened, and we have fled the village. I'm much more at ease. ”

What has become of Konoha makes a Konoha ninja feel more secure outside than in the village.

After the break, Itachi and Sasuke are ready to hit the road.

"Sasuke, like me, put a line on your forehead." Itachi pointed to his forehead, and a scratch destroyed the Konoha emblem on his forehead, a sign of rebellion.

Sasuke froze in place, grabbing his hair blankly, "But brother, I don't have a forehead protector." ”

What to do if you don't have a forehead protector, of course, grab another one.

When crossing the border of the Fire Country, Itachi cleanly eliminated a team of Konoha ninjas, picked out a forehead guard from a pool of blood, and handed it to Sasuke.

Following Itachi's example, Sasuke also put a forehead guard with a diagonal mark on his forehead.

Danzo set up two formidable enemies for himself.

Sasuke's fate has also changed, and it's much better to wander with his brother than to follow Orochimaru's pervert.
