Two emaciated figures confronted each other in the jungle

Tall and short.

Youth and children.

Long knife and kunai.

—but the gaze is just as deep, like a deep night.

Su Ze...... Reflect? ”

Uchiha Itachi looked at the child in front of him, and on his face, which seemed to no longer know what a smile was, two deep nasolabial folds wrinkled, looking vicissitudes and depression.

"I think I met you."

"yes...... You're Itachi-sama, the Uchiha family's Itachi-sama. If I'm not mistaken. The first time we met was two years ago. ”

Su Zeying raised his eyebrows and replied calmly.

"You know me?"

Itachi tilted his head with interest, as if he didn't expect Su Zeying to know his name.

"I've heard of ...... Itachi-sama, both in terms of age and strength, is one of the best masters of the younger generation, and is a genius who graduated from ninja school ahead of schedule. ”

Su Zeying closed his gaze, as if there was something noteworthy on his toes, stared at the ground next to his toes, and replied dullly.

"Really?"

Uchiha Itachi laughed bitterly.

The smile was incomparably dry and cold, and incomparably faint, like a tiny piece of gravel between the rocks, reminiscent of the dryness and loneliness of the desert.

"Yes...... I remember that Moonlight Blast's predecessor seems to be by your side, no wonder you know so much. ”

Itachi Uchiha gave an answer in his dry voice and nodded. It's just that then, he looked at Su Zeying indifferently and said calmly:

"Why are you here?"

Su Zeying looked at his nose and nose and heart, maintaining the posture of holding kunai, looking like a sculpture.

The statue's eyes did not blink:

"I was invited by a friend...... It's just that I didn't expect this to happen. Itachi-sama, are you killing the Uchiha? ”

"yes......"

"Why?"

Su Zeying asked like an ordinary child who didn't know anything about it. It's just that there is probably no eight-year-old child in this world who can stand in front of a young ninja with a blood-dripping long knife in his hand and a murderous intent, and ask calmly like this.

Su Zeying asked calmly, looking unusual.

Itachi Uchiha was able to answer calmly, as if he didn't think it was counterintuitive for an eight-year-old child to behave so calmly.

- From a bystander's point of view, these two are really two weirdos.

"Why?"

Itachi Uchiha paused.

Not long ago, another child, who was also about eight years old, asked him frantically. For a moment, the faces of the child in front of him and his younger brother seemed to overlap, making him stunned for a moment.

It's just that he immediately put this delusion behind him, just like before, as in the face of Sasuke's questioning, Uchiha Itachi raised his sword, and in a light tone, gave the same answer:

"To test your own strength."

Without blinking his eyes, he continued to speak lightly in the same tone:

Su Zeying...... You're such a gifted kid - unlike Sasuke. I don't see much to expect from him, but you're different......"

“…… You're the smartest, most gifted kid I've ever met—even when I was at this age. You're a good asset—if there are no accidents, you might become the pillar of the village, but it's a pity ......"

The long knife was drawn, handed, and fell, cutting the wind and resting on the side of the body, the sharp light of the knife was cold, and the moonlight was silver plated on the tip of the blade.

Itachi said lightly:

"You've asked me a few questions earlier — now it's my turn. First question: Did you set the detonator? ”

“…… Be. ”

Su Zeying's whole body was tense, and sweat slid down her back, one by one, feeling extremely heavy.

But he still managed to hold on, standing motionless, his hands clenched.

"Second question: Did you notice me coming in the first place?"

"Yes, after Itachi-sama killed some people or so, I felt ......"

"Third question: Are you a sentient ninja?"

"I don't know...... However, I can feel that I have the same talent as a ninja senser. ”

"Fourth question: Did the last girl of the Uchiha family escape?"

"Hotaru must have fled to the village by this time...... Even if Itachi-sama wanted to kill her, she wouldn't be able to. ”

"You're here...... Just to buy her time to escape? ”

“……”

"Heh......"

Uchiha Itachi sneered meaninglessly, and sneered in his mouth:

"Funny ......"

Hearing the voice of the Uchiha Itachi, for some reason, Su Zeying suddenly felt a panic in his heart, but he couldn't catch the source of the panic. He took a deep breath to stabilize his heartbeat and calm some of the panic in his heart.

But Uchiha Itachi has already continued to ask:

"Fifth question: I heard that you are completely dead and can't practice ninjutsu anymore, is it true?"

“…… Yes. ”

"Well, one last question: have you kept your head down to avoid falling victim to my illusion?"

Uchiha Itachi's slightly sarcastic voice sounded in the field, like thunder on the ground, which made Su Zeying tremble.

— but what really made him tremble was not the content of the sentence, but ......

The Uchiha Itachi's voice was still ringing about a dozen paces away, but in the next moment, it sounded about two or three paces away, and it could almost be said to be ringing close to the ears!

Su Zeying trembled and opened her eyes wide!

- Suddenly, faster than the speed of thinking, the body that has been training for many years has already acted automatically according to instinct!

In an instant, Kunai pulled out and stabbed like a sharp blade, and three shurikens in his left hand had already shot out, and at this moment, Su Zeying flipped over violently, and jumped out like a frightened rabbit in an instant!

However, whether it is the kunai that pierces out, or the shuriken that shoots away......

None of it works!

The Uchiha Itachi flashed Su Zeying's awe-inspiring attack like lightning, clinging to him like a ghost, and sneered in Su Zeying's ear:

"You ......"

"It's too slow!"

"Bang!"

Su Zeying flew upside down in an instant!

"Poof......

Blood spurted out of her mouth, Su Zeying wiped the blood from her lips with difficulty, and struggled to get up from the ground.

It's painful.

Extraordinary pain.

But fortunately, with the passive skill of the lava monster weakening the damage, coupled with the strength of his own physique, Su Zeying was not too seriously injured.

"It's a weak ......"

The Uchiha Itachi's voice seemed to come from far away, high above the ground like a god.

“…… I thought you might surprise me a little, but I didn't expect it - just like my waste brother, it's all rubbish. ”

"Do you think it's all you need to watch out for my illusions? Who gave you the arrogance that made you think that I could only kill you by illusion? ”

The Uchiha Itachi walked step by step, and the voice came from far and near, and gradually, it seemed to be in front of him.
