Hinata Mukai could barely believe his eyes.

He knew the relationship between Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui, but he never thought that the thoughts that arose between him in a hurry would make him desperate.

In ecstasy, he didn't notice the strangeness in the Uchiha's water-stopping pupils.

At the moment when Uchiha Itachi's kunai pierced his right eye.

In the eyes of the Uchiha Shisui that were burned red with anger, three black magatama instantly exploded.

Countless black points of light shrank violently in his pupils, and two strange eyeballs formed in his pupils.

It was a pair of strange eyes.

In the center of the blood-red pupil was a black quadrangular shuriken, which looked like a four-pointed star.

In Hinata's expectant gaze, Uchiha Itachi's body exploded again, and there was another sound of black crows flapping their wings.

Itachi Uchiha disappeared from his eyes like a ghost.

"Bastard, you dare to lie to me...

Hinata Mukai's five fingers pinched down with all his might without hesitation.

。。。。。。。。

Time seemed to stop at this instant.

Hinata's gaze suddenly became dull, and the right hand that was pinching Uchiha's neck also loosened.

The Uchiha slammed into the mud, gasping for air.

A ghostly figure appeared at Hinata's side, and the kunai in his hand slashed across the artery in his neck.

A fountain of red liquid gushes out.

Hinata Mukai looked blankly at the Uchiha Shisui on the ground.

"How so...

It was his last thought before he died.

。。。。。。。。

Behind the foliage in the distance, a boy in black-rimmed glasses took in it all.

He slipped silently down from the tree, and under the cover of the night, quietly left before anyone was noticed.

No one knew that he had ever been here or what he had done.

Including the Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui.

。。。。。。。。

Dots of stars adorn the black sky at will, and they don't forget to send a not-so-bright light to the earth.

In the darkness of the woods, insects chirped fiercely.

The smell of blood in the air dissipated with the forest wind, leaving only the mud stained red with blood and the heavy gasps of the two teenagers.

The Uchiha Shisui lay in the reddish-brown mud.

Excessive blood loss, as well as the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye that opened at the last moment, squeezed out the last trace of strength in his body.

Uchiha Itachi stood silently beside him, like a stone statue guarding his friend.

His waist was straight, and his body was covered with large and small scars and the blood still oozing from him, which did not change his expression in the slightest.

It's just that the handsome face that is slightly pale confirms the weakness in his current body.

He bent down and smiled and patted Uchiha Shisui on the shoulder.

Uchiha Itachi Shisui reciprocated with a forced smile.

With the friendship between the two, any words are superfluous at this moment.

And the corpses and broken limbs in that place bear witness to the brutality of the battle.

"About my eyes..."

After a long time, the Uchiha Shisui, who had regained some strength, suddenly burst out.

"Well, don't worry. I wouldn't mention it to anyone ... ”

The Uchiha Itachi replied softly, his whole body still tense, vigilantly observing his surroundings.

He was well aware of the presence of a ninja in this inaccessible forest.

It's just that there's no way to tell if it's friend or foe...

。。。。。。。。

The sky began to brighten.

The dark canopy of the sky gradually turned blue, turning white like a fish's maw.

The vast expanse of the forest also became restless.

The morning breeze passed briskly through the trees, carrying the leaves dancing on the branches.

The birds sang happily in the treetops, as if playing a morning song, and the trees responded with a rustle.

Two teenagers, scarred and covered in blood-colored mud, staggered through the beautiful music.

"Hey, Itachi..."

"Huh?"

"Are you really willing to trade an eye for my life?"

"I want to think about it...

"What..."

The Uchiha Shisui angrily shook off the Uchiha Itachi and held his left arm.

"This needs to be considered. I'm fighting hard for you. I don't think you thought about whether I'd die or not at all in that last blow... ”

"Seems to be the case...

Itachi Uchiha chuckled.

"Bastard...

The angry roar of the Uchiha broke through the silence of the forest.

A few small birds flapped their wings in a panic and flew into the sky, not forgetting to cast curious glances into the forest.

"Don't do such a stupid thing next time...

Uchiha's voice was low, and the expression on his face became serious,

"The Sharingan is the source of the power of the Uchiha clan. Losing any of them is an irreparable loss. Saving your eyes no matter what, even if it's my life, it's not worth your eyes ... ”

The two of them said no more, and walked all the way to the edge of the forest.

"Well, I see...

After a long time, Uchiha Itachi replied lightly.

。。。。。。。。

Konoha Police Force.

Inside the captain's office.

Uchiha Fugaku anxiously paced around the room.

After being watched like a prisoner in the shadows for days, the emotions of the Uchiha clan in the Konoha police force have been suppressed to the extreme.

It's as if it's a huge powder keg, and all it takes is a small spark to detonate and push the Uchiha clan and Konoha into the war.

And that's not only ...

The distance between Konoha and the border of the Land of Fire and the Land of Iwa is not that far.

At the speed of the Uchiha Itachi and the Uchiha Shisui, they should have returned to Konoha three days ago.

A look of despair froze on Uchiha Fugaku's cheeks.

Thinking of the most unacceptable possibility, his heart was completely hollowed out.

Like a soulless body, it walked around the room mechanically, as if it would never stop.

Outside the main gate of the Konoha Police Force, two groups of ninjas are facing each other in a tense manner.

On one side is more than a dozen members of the Konoha Police Force led by the well-known hot-tempered Uchiha Iron Fire.

On the other side are three shadow ninjas wearing animal masks.

Despite being outnumbered, the arrogance of the Shadow Ninja is still visible.

"Hokage-sama has an order, all members of the Konoha Police Force are not allowed to leave the station, otherwise they will be killed...

"Kill or kill, what right do you have to do this...

The Uchiha Iron Flame roared angrily at the other party, and among the blood-red eyes, three black magatama sparkled.

Behind him, someone has already pulled out the kunai and is ready to fight.

The air seemed to freeze in an instant.

A dangerous smell of gunpowder spread through the air.

In the distance, in the light and in the dark, countless pairs of eyes were firmly fixed on this area.

Expecting something to happen.
