Chapter 348: The Devil's Choice (Fifth Update)
"Let's take a break here." Under a large tree south of the Forest of Death, the weasel suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong, are you feeling unwell?" The dried persimmon ghost shark also fell to Itachi's side and asked with a little concern.
"Well, I'm a little tired after a long journey." Itachi admitted.
The dried persimmon ghost shark's eyes flashed, and he vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong for a while, so he nodded and said, "Then rest for a while......
Itachi suddenly said at this time, "You say, a person who has been hiding his own thoughts should be very tired, right?" ”
"Huh?"
The dried persimmon ghost shark didn't understand why Itachi said such a sentence, but combined with the feeling that something was wrong before, he already realized that Itachi decided to stop and rest at this time, and it was definitely not as simple as wanting to take a break.
He naturally shifted his standing posture, faced Itachi with his face, and said, "Is there something on the mind of Brother Itachi?" ”
"Well, there are a lot of them." Itachi nodded first, then shook his head and said, "But I'm not talking about me, it's you." ”
"Me?"
The dried persimmon ghost shark pointed at himself, and said with a dumb smile, "What can I have on my mind, Brother Itachi, don't joke." ”
"You've been with me for so long and think I'm like someone who likes to joke around?" Itachi smiled and said.
Seeing the smile of the ferret, the dried persimmon ghost shark 'groaned' in his heart, and suddenly had an ominous premonition!
Because he had never seen Itachi smile, no matter what the occasion, Itachi had a blank poker face.
A person who had never laughed in his impression suddenly smiled at him, which made it difficult for him not to feel hairy in his heart!
"Brother Itachi, just say whatever you want, you should also know that I'm not good at guessing riddles." The dried persimmon ghost shark said in a deep voice.
"Actually...... The information that the four people gathered here this time is a half-truth and half-false information, which I deliberately handed over to Zero, in order to attract a group of people over. The weasel suddenly threw out a shock bomb, which made the dried persimmon ghost shark startled.
His right hand, at this time, had been placed on the handle of the 'shark muscle' behind him, and he looked at Itachi with a solemn face!
"Brother Itachi, do you understand what you're talking about......"
"It's all at this point, don't you want to be honest with me......" Itachi sighed, half-leaning against the tree, "Actually, you already knew I had a problem, didn't you?" ”
"I don't understand what you mean." The dried persimmon ghost shark's eyes flickered.
"You think I'm cheating on you? Or do you really think I don't know 'he' asked you to spy on me? Itachi continued.
Itachi has said all this, how can the dried persimmon ghost shark not hear that Itachi already knows the secret he has hidden.
He sighed and said, "I really don't want to come this far, really, how I wish that Brother Itachi could be your own person......"
"I know."
Itachi nodded, "That's why I'm going to give you a chance, as long as you are willing to promise me that you will quit Xiao and never get involved in anything in the ninja world again, I can give you a way to live." ”
"Aren't you afraid that I will regret it after I promise you?" The dried persimmon ghost shark asked.
"I'm sure you're not that kind of person." Itachi said firmly.
"Thank you, Big Brother Itachi, for your trust, I'm really not that kind of person." The dried persimmon ghost shark's expression was a little bitter, "But I also promised another person, if I break my promise, then I am not worthy of your trust, Brother Itachi......"
"Are you sure?" Itachi looked at him seriously, "You should understand that I chose this time for a showdown, no matter who wins or loses with them in the end, you will not have a chance to leave alive now." ”
"I know, but ...... I'm sorry. ”
The dried persimmon ghost shark has already pulled out the shark muscle behind it.
"Well, since it's your choice, I respect." Itachi nodded again, his expression slightly lonely and sad.
Crunch, crunch, crunch......
The sound of branches and leaves being pressed suddenly sounded, instantly attracting the attention of the dried persimmon ghost shark.
Out of the corner of his eye, he could see that a bald old man in a suit and in a wheelchair appeared to the side.
"The one under the ground has been solved, it should be the 'White Absolute you mentioned', Mr. Itachi, right?" The bald old man asked.
"Well, trouble the professor." Itachi nodded.
As for Professor X's strength, he certainly has a lot of trust.
Seeing this, the dried persimmon ghost shark shrank slightly, and understood what the bald old man meant.
Obviously, without his knowledge, one of the white jugglers had been secretly following him and Itachi, but it was quietly solved by the bald old man who was called a professor by Itachi just appeared!
This made the dried persimmon ghost shark frightened!
The most important thing is that he doesn't remember seeing or hearing of this bald old man called the professor.
The ferret who gets along with him day and night actually has such a secret!
Bang! Bang!
With two violent explosions in succession, the dried persimmon ghost shark only felt that the ground under his feet was trembling!
"It seems that Raymond-kun and Orochimaru's side have already started to do it, and our side will have to speed up as well...... What happened to Akainu-kun and Momoshiro-kun? Itachi asked Professor X.
"I'm about to meet the two 'companions' you talked about." There was a mechanical sound from beneath Professor X.
It was Megatron, of course, who spoke.
Itachi knew that Megatron must have sent the Descendants to monitor the entire Forest of Death in case anything went wrong.
"It seems that Brother Itachi is hiding deeper than I thought......" The voice of the dried persimmon ghost shark was a little hoarse.
"I'm sorry, Oni." Itachi said apologetically.
"Needless to say, this is probably fate." The dried persimmon ghost shark shook his head and said.
He knew that he was definitely unlucky.
Even if Itachi didn't have any companions, it would be impossible for Itachi to fight him alone, not to mention that Itachi was obviously prepared.
After the Itachi finally took a deep look at the dried persimmon ghost shark, he turned around and left.
Seeing this, the dried persimmon ghost shark launched an attack without hesitation.
However, just when this thought was born and his hand had just moved less than a centimeter, the whole person's movements suddenly stopped, and he stopped in place!
The next moment, he was moving again!
Only this time, the target of his move changed from Itachi to himself......
A minute later.
Professor X floated in a Megatron wheelchair to catch up with Itachi, sighing, "You can see that kid actually respects you." ”
"I know." Itachi had regained his usual composure by this time, and muttered, "I gave him a chance, and he knew that he couldn't have a chance to survive, but he made this choice anyway...... Only in this way is the greatest respect for him. ”
"Mr. Itachi, you're stronger than I thought." Professor X sighed.
Itachi was silent.
As a man who was charged with the crime of slaughtering the whole clan, that scene just now was really nothing to him.
He may regret it, but he doesn't regret it.
