A handsome young man with a short knife appeared in front of Uchiha Itachi at some point, and at this time he was putting down his hand and sighed: "Itachi...... You shouldn't be so impulsive. ”

Uchiha Itachi's hand shook, and he didn't fall, and then he hugged his head with both hands, and said with some pain: "But this bastard has annoyed me for two years, and I really ......"

Uchiha walked over a few steps, squatted down and patted him on the shoulder: "It's not a good character to always hold back and not say and then burst out." You could have chosen a better solution. ”

Uchiha Itachi was silent when he heard this, and he didn't say a word.

"Brother Zhishui, why...... There are so many such people in the clan? After a while, he asked in a low voice.

Uchiha Shisui sat on the ground, his tone gradually lowering: "It will be difficult for anyone who discovers that killing and hatred can quickly increase his strength, he will not fall. ”

"For hundreds of years, in order to obtain a more powerful writing wheel eye, killing relatives has happened from time to time in the clan, and this situation is really normal today."

Uchiha Itachi asked, "Can the Uchiha just keep falling?" ”

Uchiha Shisui was silent for a moment: "Although it is emotionally unacceptable, but it is rational to ...... That's probably the case. Unless all the chakras disappear overnight, the Uchiha can only continue to degenerate like this. ”

"But if we keep going like this, we will be destroyed sooner or later, and is there nothing we can do to stop it?"

"Nope."

Uchiha Shisui shook his head: "Everyone is going to die, some die of aging, some die of disease, some die of war, and some die of suicide...... It's the same with families. ”

"There have been countless families in history that have been destroyed for various reasons, and the Uchiha clan will definitely be destroyed one day. Bringing about our own demise in the fall is probably our way of curtain calling. ”

Uchiha Itachi clenched his fists and seemed to feel unacceptable: "This kind of thinking is too pessimistic. ”

"This has nothing to do with pessimism or not, many things are governed only by objective laws, whether people want to accept it or not, the result is the same." Uchiha said slowly.

"Like, when I first knew that I would die in the future, I was heartbroken, but what could I do about it, I could only bury this fact in my heart and try not to think about it, and console myself with the fact that "everyone will die" ......"

Saying that, Uchiha Shisui smiled self-deprecatingly: "But I didn't expect that just a few years later, I, who was extremely life-sparing, had the idea of suicide." ”

"Suicide?" Uchiha Itachi was stunned.

"Yes, my writing wheel was opened after I stabbed myself. Speaking of which, when my uncle learned about this, he even stabbed himself in the heart, but unfortunately, his strength did not change because of this. ”

"Why do you ...... Going to kill yourself? Uchiha Itachi asked tentatively.

Uchiha Shisui shook his head: "The reason why I chose to commit suicide in the first place was not because I found a reason to commit suicide, but because I failed to find a reason to live. ”

"And now?"

Uchiha Shisui smiled, "After that suicide failed, I found a reason to live. ”

"What is it?"

"Death is still terrible, in other words, it is the fear of death. Because I am afraid of death, I live. ”

Uchiha Shisui's tone was very casual, but Uchiha Itachi's face was faintly pale.

After a while, Uchiha Shisui seemed to realize something, and hurriedly said, "I seem to be spreading my pessimism again...... I'm sorry. ”

"Don't take my words to heart, I have nothing, and you still have your parents, maybe your brother, your sister, and even your wife and children in the future. You are different from many Uchiha people, and I believe that you can feel the presence of family affection from your side. Right? ”

The Uchiha Itachi lowered his head and didn't speak.

The atmosphere was quiet for a long time before he changed the topic: "Brother Zhishui...... Can you do me a favor? ”

"What's the busy, you say."

Uchiha Itachi hesitated for a moment before saying, "I've been suffering from insomnia lately, and I wanted to go to the hospital to buy some sleeping pills, but the doctor said I was too young to prescribe ...... Can you buy some for me? ”

"Insomnia?" The Uchiha was stunned for a moment, then reacted and looked at the still unconscious Uchiha Iron Fire, "Is it because of this guy?" ”

Uchiha Itachi hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Uchiha stopped sui: "He will definitely not bother you again in the future, you adjust it yourself, and it should be fine soon." Now that you're growing up, it's better not to take sleeping pills casually. ”

"I just want to get back to my normal routine as soon as possible, and it will be easier if there is the help of medicine, otherwise the adjustment process will definitely be much slower." Uchiha Itachi said again, "Just a little bit is fine." ”

"This ......"

Uchiha was a little hesitant, but finally nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go buy you some sleeping pills, but you must be careful, I'd rather continue to have insomnia than take too much at once." ”

"Otherwise, once you become dependent, your body will collapse very quickly."

"Thank you, Brother Zhishui." Itachi Uchiha smiled.

"Remind you again, you should never take too many sleeping pills at once, you know?"

"Yes."

Uchiha Itachi nodded casually, and then asked, "Brother Shisui, I remember that you didn't go out on a mission, why did you suddenly appear here?" ”

Uchiha Shisui sighed slightly: "I'm here to deliver information." ”

"Intelligence?"

Uchiha's tone became a little solemn, but he didn't elaborate, only said, "If nothing else, Iwakure should be about to declare war on us." ”

……

Unexpected, but also reasonable.

Just when Konoha drove straight in and defeated the forces of Shagakure and Kawanokuni, the land country suddenly declared war on the country of fire, and the situation of the battle changed suddenly for a while.

However, although war was declared, Iwakuin did not immediately send troops, but fought for several months in a row, denouncing Konoha for "bullying the weak" and "domineering", etc., and vigorously supported Shagakure spiritually.

It's just that Konoha never dared to relax, and still set aside a part of his forces to deploy defenses on the border and in the country of grass, and be vigilant against Iwakuin at any time.

By the end of December '45, the situation had again taken a major turn.

It's nearly nine o'clock in the morning.

As soon as the three of them arrived at the east gate of the village, they saw Kime Nagaye standing with a solemn face, his hands clasped to his chest, and his brows were tightly fixed at his feet, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Teacher Changye?"

Only then did Mu Mu Changye react: "Oh, you guys are here, I won't cultivate today, I have something to tell you." ”

After a pause, he said slowly in a serious tone: "In the process of fighting against the Sand Hidden Alliance, Konoha suffered an unprecedented defeat, and our border was known as Kikyo Castle in ancient times...... It's been lost. ”
