As the night darkens, Izumi Uchiha walks alone on the streets of Konoha.

At this time, she changed out of the dark clothes and wore a loose dress.

Halfway through, Izumi stopped.

"Three-color balls, well, let's eat this today."

Izumi muttered to himself, and then his face turned slightly red, as if he had thought of something.

But soon, this shyness faded away, and it turned into a kind of loneliness.

Walking into the store and buying a three-color ball, Izumi didn't eat it in the store, but walked to a small lake.

After walking a short boardwalk, Izumi sat at the end.

Your feet swing in mid-air, and you can see the crystal clear water below.

Under the moonlight, the girl's face was reflected in the water, like colorful peach blossoms.

took out the three-color balls from the paper bag, opened the red lips kissed, and slowly bit down, and the sweet and greasy feeling wandered in the mouth.

Izumi crushed it and swallowed it into his stomach.

With a long sigh of relief, Izumi muttered, "It's so sweet, I don't know why, Itachi always likes to eat this kind of thing, it's really like a child." ”

Izumi couldn't help but laugh as he spoke, as if he remembered the appearance of the original Itachi.

They were only six or seven years old that year, and Izumi was playing with his friends when he happened to meet Itachi, who was thinking about life next to the memorial monument.

Compared to his peers who are still playing ninja games, Itachi undoubtedly seems to be a maverick.

Just by looking at it, Izumi felt that this boy was very special.

From then on, the fate between Itachi and Izumi began.

Izumi remembered the scene of that day, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.

It's a wonderful young age.

Later, the two went to ninja school, and the communication gradually increased.

Izumi found that Itachi's thoughts, it seems, can never keep up.

He always seemed to be saying strange things, some things that even Izumi couldn't understand now.

But Izumi knows that Itachi is really a very kind, very kind person.

That day, Izumi bought the last three-color ball, and Itachi looked at it with a blank eye, but he didn't show the slightest emotion he wanted.

It was here that I talked to Itachi for a long time.

That was also the first time I knew that Itachi used to like to eat three-color balls, and it was the first time I saw Itachi show a childlike expression.

That smile made Izumi sink deeply.

Since then, this figure has entered the heart of the spring and has never left.

Later, Izumi confessed to Itachi, but unfortunately, Itachi did not respond to himself and left in a panic.

After that, there was no after.

Itachi defected.

Betrayed the Uchiha clan, but also betrayed Konoha.

But Izumi didn't believe it.

She didn't believe that the gentle Itachi would do such a thing.

So, she wanted to know the truth.

But the truth is not so easy to know.

So, Izumi chose to join the Shadows.

But the requirements for strength in the dark department are very high.

Unless there are special circumstances, at least the strength of the special ninja is required to enter it.

At that time, the spring was not enough.

So, she practiced hard, and after two years, she entered the dark side.

And that's just the first step.

Izumi wants to know about Itachi's past, and wants to know what lies behind his strength.

She also understands that if she wants to know the truth, she must not investigate openly.

Because that's a taboo.

Izumi was keenly aware that in the shadows, no one would mention Itachi.

Izumi tried to inquire on the side, but in the end he was unable to do anything.

Later, she learned that the Minister of Konoha Dark, Kakashi Hachiki, had issued an injunction not to mention Itachi.

So, she came to the sixth class.

Because this is where Itachi used to stay, and it's also the place where Kakashi can be contacted the most.

Perhaps here, she will find new clues.

"Itachi, where are you now?"

Izumi swallowed the last pill and looked at the stars in the sky, not knowing which one was the one Itachi saw now.

Somewhere in the mountains of the Land Country, Itachi also looked at the stars in the sky, holding a bamboo stick in his hand.

"Brother Itachi, why haven't you rested yet." Shark face, who was sitting next to him, asked.

"I'm thinking about things, you go to sleep first."

Itachi said, imperceptibly placing the bamboo skewer into his robe.

Seeing this, the ghost shark didn't say anything, and Itachi wasn't in such a state for a day or two.

He's always been so quiet, unless it's in battle, if he doesn't speak, he won't speak either.

The same person who betrayed the village, the oni shark didn't understand how many secrets Itachi had in his heart.

He just knew that Itachi's mind was far from something he could guess.

This is a mysterious and terrifying person.

It's an honor to be teammates with people like that.

The ghost shark leaned against the stone wall beside it, closing its eyes.

Recently, they have been looking for the four tails, and they are quite tired.

Seeing the ghost shark's eyes, Itachi touched the bamboo skewers in his wide sleeves, and a shallow smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Under the same starry sky, thinking about this kind of thing, will it really be conveyed?

Itachi stood up and looked in Konoha's direction.

He...... Some of them are homesick.

There were his friends, his relatives, his lovers, and he had been gone for too long, too long.

"It's coming."

Izumi was in a daze beside the lake, not noticing at all that a silver-white figure was standing on a tree not far from the lake.

After a long moment, Kakashi sighed softly and turned to leave.

That's just the way things in the world are.

Kakashi walked down the streets of Konoha and was a little lost for a moment.

At this time, there were not many people, and the small shop gradually closed its doors.

The lights dimmed, and the entire Konoha slowly began to become quiet.

Kakashi looked at the street that was gradually becoming silent, and was silent.

But it didn't take long for Kakashi to see that the familiar little shop was still open.

Ichiraku ramen.

The familiar scent brought back Kakashi's memories, and his stomach crumbled at the right time.

Kakashi was slightly stunned......

Yes, I was so busy with official business that I seemed to have forgotten to eat dinner.

Laughing at myself, this kind of thing has happened too many times.

I'm always so busy that I forget about such a trivial thing as eating.

Seeing that Ichiraku Ramen hadn't closed yet, Kakashi walked inside.

"Welcome."

Hearing someone coming in, Uncle Hand Punch greeted him without even raising his head.

"Hand hit uncle."

The familiar voice straightened his busy body and looked at the familiar face.

"It's Kakashi, why did you come here so late."

"Of course, it's because I miss Uncle Hand Ramen."

Kakashi smiled, his eyes like crescent moons, and he didn't know how much emotion was hidden.

"Hahaha, I knew that your kid had vision, you wait, I'll do it for you."

Kakashi sat down in his chair, and it didn't take long for the ramen to finish.

Steaming ramen, kind hand-beaten, it seems that life is not always so unforgiving.

No matter where you are, there's always a touch of warmth, isn't it?

Kakashi picked up the chopsticks and smiled, "Then I'll start!" ”
