Chapter 40: The Deflection of History! (Medium)
Just when Tuanzang was cowering in his underground base and giving orders to his subordinates. Su Zeying was unaware of this deflection in the history of this world.
- He didn't know that due to the appearance of his "Blood Inheritance Limit", the upper echelons of the village had better bargaining cards for the Uchiha family, which led to a series of chain events, and even the original plot had a large deviation.
And the plot of the night of the Uchiha clan annihilation, compared to the original history, is likely to happen in advance!
- However, Su Zeying is still unaware of this.
The so-called plot is by no means immutable. The timeline of the original plot of the ninja world was originally a world that was finally derived from many coincidences. However, when there is such a variable as Su Zeying, it is like adding a tiny initial variable to a complex equation.
Perhaps in the beginning, the amount of change in the result is not too large compared to the original formula. But as time goes on, more and more variables come together to evolve – and in the end, the resulting error is bound to grow...... It could even turn the whole world upside down – or turn it upside down!
……
The remote place of Konoha and the location of the Uchiha's isolated station.
The big mansion with the clan emblem of the Tuan Fan clan and the residence of the patriarch who proclaimed the glory of the Uchiha looked a little deserted at this time.
Only a child wearing the short-sleeved shirt of the Uchiha family half-squatted on the steps, tied his shoelaces vigorously, and after tying them, he stood up and greatly stretched his muscles, with a look of innocence and perseverance.
"Sasuke ......"
A gentle call came from behind him, and Uchiha Itachi stood behind him with a smile and watched, looking at the young child.
"Brother......
Sasuke turned around and laughed innocently, he raised his fist at Itachi, raised his head high and said:
“…… I've been able to go to school alone recently, brother, you don't have to accompany me! ”
"No—not this."
Itachi sighed and smiled as hard as he could:
“…… I mean, how are you doing in school? ”
"In school?"
Sasuke tilted his head, then waved his hand, and said nonchalantly:
"Although many of the students in the school are quite average, there are still some of them who are more powerful...... For example, there is a blonde boy...... There is also a guy who looks lazy, but is actually very smart - of course, the strongest is Su Zeying! He's really good......"
Sasuke seemed a little depressed when he said this, but he quickly cheered himself up and said:
"But...... Even though that guy is great, one day, I'll still be able to beat him - and I've been getting a lot better lately! ”
"Really......"
Itachi smiled heartily, but there were many mixed feelings.
"—Do you have any friends?"
"Friends?"
Sasuke was stunned for a moment, and then several faces flashed in his mind - the first one was the blonde kid who had always been disagreeable to him recently, always with a big grin, but no matter how many times he was knocked down by himself, he could still get up; The second one belongs to the guy who has a calm smile on his face all day, and sometimes looks a little lazy, but when he actually fights, he is very clean......
"These two guys ......"
Sasuke muttered to himself, but shook his head firmly:
"Brother-I'm a descendant of the Uchiha family, and I'm not going to be friends with these guys in the ninja school! And the only other member of the Uchiha family is just a very wasted girl - it's just weak! I don't want to be a friend! ”
“…… Even that guy Ying, or another blonde kid, is only my opponent - no, only Ying is my opponent, and that blonde kid is just my defeat! ”
Sasuke said with a look of war in his eyes.
"That's ......"
Itachi muttered, smiling.
“…… However, it is also a kind of luck to have a peer who can be called an opponent......"
Itachi had a smile on his face that Sasuke couldn't understand.
He shook his head, a wry smile on his face that vanished.
"Sasuke...... Let's go to school! ”
Itachi put away his emotions and said to Sasuke with a smile.
"Well-brother, I will definitely be able to defeat Su Zeying today, and I will be called the first in the actual combat training class!"
Sasuke was full of energy, and he cheered himself up loudly and ran in the direction of the school in high spirits.
- Although Sasuke has always targeted his brother, in his usual words and deeds, he still reflects the state of a seven-year-old child all the time, which is unavoidable no matter how precocious he is.
"Su Zeying ......"
Itachi looked at Sasuke's disappearing figure, and the smile on his face faded.
He chewed on the name gently, and the sorrow that had been piling up in his heart like a black cloud gradually came back again.
"Itachi, I'...... There's really nothing more you can do. ”
Just a few days ago, the person who was admired by him, who was regarded as his brother, Uchiha Shisui, said to himself with a lonely smile.
Although it has the name of "stopping the water in an instant", it still can't stop the Uchiha's splitting tendencies, so that he falls into a helpless tearing state.
"Itachi - Recently, the monitoring and control of the Uchiha family in the village has been tightened a lot, and there may be a reason for the new blood inheritance limit, but after all, it is still because of the behavior of the Uchiha family. I'm confident that I'll be able to make three generations of adults not move against Uchi, who is the Hokage-sama who is as benevolent as the first one. Even if it is Danzo-sama, I have some confidence in convincing. Even if he couldn't convince him, Lord Danzo didn't dare to directly cross the boundaries of the three generations of adults and make a move against the family......"
“…… But the tendency to centrifuge within the clan is something I can't stop – and ......"
Until now, the incomparably lonely eyes that Uchiha Shisui projected at him at that time still seemed to be imprinted in Itachi's heart as before, and it was extremely clear, and the words in Shisui's mouth were as cold as ice cubes - more like the inevitable midwinter, there was an inexplicable sense of fate.
“…… Itachi, your father, who is also the patriarch, has not said a word about such tendencies in the clan lately, and even has the intention of letting himself go...... That's what scares me so much! ”
Thinking back to those eyes, and those gloomy words, to this day, Uchiha Itachi still feels a chill in his heart.
Although looking at Sasuke's smile, that kind of warmth can give him temporary comfort, but when he really falls into reality, he still only feels an indescribable loneliness.
- And after saying that one that night, the Uchiha Shisui left. Before leaving, he left a message:
"I'm going to convince the three generations of adults, and then Danzo-sama...... In a few days, we'll meet here again. I'll tell you the results. ”
"In the meantime, Itachi - I want you to change the patriarch's mind. You're the most proud child of the patriarch, and if you can't turn it around, there's no hope. ”
"Stop the water, I hope you can succeed – and in the meantime, I hope I can succeed too."
Secretly in his heart, Itachi turned around.
And at this moment, a cold voice came from inside the house:
"Itachi, you're not in the shadows to find out the news, what are you going to do back home? Never mind...... Since you said there was something, then come in. ”
Uchiha Fugaku's troubled and heavy voice came from the inner hall, and Itachi walked in silence without saying a word.
