Chapter 53: Change
It's just that at that time, he never thought that things would develop to the situation they are today.
Uchiha Itachi didn't die! Not only did he not die, but he swaggered back to Konoha unharmed.
Yoshino Kamishinobu raised his head slightly, and in a short period of time, he could read a lot from the cheeks of the three generations of Hokage Ape Tobihi.
"Why didn't you die?"
He asked in his heart. A bitter smile crept up his face.
。。。。。。。。
The big stick of the three generations of Hokage Ape Flying Sun Slash was raised high, but it fell gently.
Yoshino Kamishinobu mistakenly believed that Uchiha Itachi, a member of the team who participated in the Chunin exam, had died, and without confirmation and without the approval of the three generations of Hokage, he led the team back to the village and declared that Uchiha Itachi was dead, causing many adverse effects on the villagers of Konoha and the Uchiha clan. In the end, he was disqualified from the upper ninja and suspended from performing the mission for half a year.
This punishment decision finally gave the people of Konoha an unreasonable explanation, and it also blocked the mouths of most people to a certain extent.
But the doubts in the hearts of the people have not been dispelled, and in the shadows, many rumors have begun to spread gradually.
"Orochimaru."
A name that hadn't been mentioned for a long time returned to Konoha again.
The name had some ominous magic, like a dark cloud in the sky, pressing on the hearts of every Konoha villager. Even the most sluggish person can smell some uneasiness in it.
。。。。。。。。
Konoha forest, above the cliffs.
Itachi Uchiha, who has come back from the dead, is alone, looking in the direction of the Land of Rain.
The mountains in the distance were covered in a layer of black under the dark clouds, and his eyes were also dyed black.
Uchiha Shisui replaced his father, Uchiha Fugaku, as the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, much to his surprise. Without thinking too much, he also knew that there must have been a huge change in the Uchiha clan. The reality has obviously deviated from the trajectory of history, but he has no idea whether this change is good or bad.
If you want to figure out the reason, the Uchiha Shisui himself is naturally the best choice.
There was a sound of broken footsteps behind him, and it was the water stop. Itachi Uchiha smiled and looked back.
However, to his surprise, he saw a cold face that he had never seen before.
At that moment, he almost thought he had recognized the wrong person.
That's right, it's the Uchiha stopper.
It's just that the warm smile on the cheeks of the past is gone, and all that can be seen is the cold and hard face like a reef.
"Looking for me?"
The Uchiha's voice was as cold as his face.
"Huh?"
Itachi Uchiha frowned, as if thinking about something.
"What's going on within the Uchiha clan?"
After half a sound, Itachi Uchiha finally spoke.
He was met with silence.
The Uchiha looked at him coldly, not half an answer for the sake of answering.
A chill spread between the two. Itachi Uchiha's heart gradually sank.
Although I don't know what makes Uchiha Shisui seem to be a different person in just a few days, it will definitely not be a good thing.
"What's the matter with you?"
The Uchiha Itachi gradually became impatient.
"I don't think we'll ever meet in private again, and if there's anything we need to say, we can say it at the Uchiha clan's regular meeting."
The Uchiha stopped the water and left without looking back.
The Uchiha Itachi wanted to stop it with a voice, but the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat and he couldn't speak. I could only watch as the backs of my former friends disappeared from sight at a speed like the wind.
"Can't even trust the water? . . ."
He muttered, turning his head to look in the direction of the Land of Rain once more.
"I'm running out of time."
He told himself that an unprecedented sense of urgency was coming at him like a mountain.
He gritted his teeth and leaped off the top of the cliff. His body slid like a kite in a wonderful arc in the air, disappearing into the trees on the other side of the cliff.
。。。。。。。。
Just after Itachi Uchiha left. In the weeds on the side of the cliff, the half-human-high green grass suddenly parted automatically, and a half-black, half-hundred-hundred-headed figure rose strangely from under the ground.
"I just left as soon as I returned to Konoha, and I was really guessed by the adults."
The half-black, half-white human head let out a hey laugh from its mouth, and it seemed that it was no surprise that the Uchiha Itachi was leaving.
"However, the reaction of the Uchiha to stop the water was somewhat unexpected. In any case, it is better to notify adults as soon as possible. ”
The human head slowly sank and soon disappeared beneath the ground. The weeds on both sides closed together again, returning to their original appearance at a speed visible to the naked eye.
There was no sound on the cliff, only the whirring wind whistling past the cliff top, as if to prove that there were once people here.
。。。。。。。。
"According to the report of the dark department, Uchiha Itachi left Konoha shortly after returning to the village, and the direction should be to go to the land of rain."
A dark ninja wearing an ape-faced mask fell to his knees on one knee, not even daring to lift his head.
"Really?"
The three generations of Hokage Ape Fei Hi slashed his face tightly, and his fingers subconsciously tapped the tabletop, making a crisp sound of "boom".
Is there any news of "that person"? ”
His gaze was fierce and murderous.
"Not yet, Hokage-sama."
The Shadow Ninja pressed his head even lower.
As one of the most trusted shadow ninjas of the three generations of Hokage, he knew very well who "that person" was in the mouth of Hokage-sama. As for why Hokage-sama was associated with a renegade, that wasn't something he should have considered.
"Got it, you've worked hard."
Sarutobi slowed his tone and motioned for the shadows to leave.
"Hokage-sama, that Uchiha Itachi?"
The Shadow Ninja stood up from the ground and hesitated for half a second before speaking.
"I've got my own arrangement!"
Sarutobi waved his hand impatiently, clearly not wanting to continue talking about it.
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
The shadow ninja's face turned slightly pale and he hurriedly left.
In the Hokage's office, Sarutobi had a gloomy face, and a series of rhythmic "boom" sounds echoed in the room.
"Call Kakashi Hachiki to see me."
After a long time, he finally made up his mind.
。。。。。。。。
The trees on either side swept backwards from both sides of Uchiha Itachi's body at an arrow-like speed.
The whirring wind and the vague smell of danger behind him made him extra vigilant.
Someone is chasing you, and it's no ordinary ninja.
He had always been confident in his sixth sense, so he didn't hesitate to speed up his march.
"It stands to reason that I left as soon as I returned to the village, and few people should know my whereabouts. Who's chasing me? ”
His brow furrowed.
Uchiha's cold face appeared in front of his eyes, like a sharp arrow, piercing his heart.
