Chapter 1: Fate

A ninja is a person who can endure it.

The most important thing in a ninja's talent is not how many techniques you can use, but more important than that is the perseverance to never give up.

This is one of the "legendary three ninjas", a famous quote from Jiraiya.

The first half of the sentence comes from his teacher, the third generation of Hokage Ape Flying Sun Slash.

The second half of the sentence is a summary of his entire ninja career.

In the end, he chose to become a wandering writer to escape his responsibilities as a Konoha ninja.

Is it because he's tired of the life of a ninja, or can't stand the darkness under the light of Konoha?

This is perhaps known only to him.

。。。。。。。。

Somewhere in the universe is unknowable.

No time, no space.

The river of time flows slowly in darkness darker than the human heart.

No one knows where it came from or where it's going.

The Uchiha Itachi was slowly falling in the air at the moment.

To be precise, it's the consciousness of the Uchiha Itachi.

The air was covered with white balls of light like the Uchiha Itachi.

It's just that most of those balls of light are dull and lifeless.

Perhaps that's what these consciousnesses should be.

Gravity is omnipresent, even in this uncharted space.

The star-like white balls of light were like dandelion flowers, slowly and helplessly falling in the boundless river.

What awaits them is the fate of being completely devoured.

However, among these balls of light, there is one that stands out from the rest.

The tiny ball of light shines as unscrupulously as the sun.

As if electrocuted, the ball of light leaped high the moment it touched the water.

Before the next fall, it had already advanced a short distance in the opposite direction to the river.

。。。。。。。。

Itachi Uchiha doesn't believe in fate.

Although the god of fate once again showed himself before his eyes, the unrivaled power of humanity.

But he still didn't accept it.

In his opinion, even the insignificant ants have the power to decide their own fate.

Not to mention people ...

The obsession of changing the tragic fate of the Uchiha clan burned in his heart.

Again and again he jumped up from the river, and walked bravely.

In this life, can you break the shackles of fate?

He didn't know if he could do it.

Once, twice, or three times, or forever?

He won't give up and won't allow himself to give up.

The ball of light grew darker and darker, and his consciousness became more and more blurred.

A clear sigh came from the dark space of death.

Itachi Uchiha used the last of his consciousness to find out where the sound was coming from.

But it's too late ...

An invisible fishing line descends from the sky and pulls the Uchiha Itachi up from the river.

"A hundred years of life is just a dream...

The voice sounds young, but it contains the vicissitudes of thousands of years.

It was the last sound the Uchiha Itachi heard before he lost consciousness.

。。。。。。。。

Uchiha Itachi wakes up to the rush of the bell for the end of class.

The images around him slowly took shape in his unfocused white pupils, turning into a blurry shadow that shook before his eyes.

Where is this?

His head felt like it was going to explode, and there was a sharp pain.

The last time he was reborn, he woke up in his bed at home.

That year, he was four years old.

But the picture in front of me is definitely not home.

The students laughed and jostically passed by the Uchiha Itachi, and the sound of chairs falling to the ground was heard from time to time.

The noisy classroom gradually fell silent, leaving Uchiha Itachi alone sitting on his seat with a glazed gaze, looking out of place for everything here.

The noise in the hallway became clearer, and the scene in front of me began to condense into real objects.

Desks, blackboards, classrooms...

He turned his head and looked out the window at the plane tree, which was no longer familiar.

There was no known cry, but the dead leaves were falling to remind the Uchiha Itachi that it was early autumn.

He knew when and where he was.

This is the classroom of the ninja school, and it's time to get out of school at the moment.

He closed his eyes and felt the chakara in his body, and his heart gradually sank.

Compared to himself at this time in the previous life, the chakra in his body was obviously much weaker.

Not only that, but more importantly, the time is also two years less than in the previous life.

The Uchiha clan is like a prisoner under the guillotine at this moment, and when the time comes, the guillotine will fall.

He suddenly regretted it.

If you can hold on for a little longer, you may be able to go back to an earlier point in time.

Even if you can't, go back to the year you were four.

At the very least, you can find a way to remind the four generations of Hokage of the Nine-Tails attack.

But at this moment, the fourth generation is dead, and Naruto Uzumaki has long been orphaned.

The Uchiha clan is already in the hatred of the people of Konoha.

Everything is being executed in an orderly manner according to the arrangement of fate.

A wry smile soon crept all over his immature face.

。。。。。。。。

The sun is setting.

The hustle and bustle of the campus became quiet.

The sun was setting below the horizon, and the sky was getting darker.

Itachi Uchiha collected his mood and left the empty classroom.

As soon as he stepped out of the classroom door, his footsteps stopped in place.

Although the light in the corridor was a little dim, he recognized the girl standing not far away with her head down.

It's Uchiha Izumi...

"That..."

Izumi Uchiha blushed and plucked up her courage to say,

"I'm Izumi Uchiha from the class next door, if you don't mind, we can go home together...

She had a shy smile on her face and a glint of hope in her clear eyes.

For some reason, Uchiha Itachi felt his eyes wet, as if something was about to come out of them.

"Okay...

He hastily interrupted Izumi Uchiha's plea and turned her head away to keep her from seeing her mist-shrouded eyes.

"They all say that Itachi-kun is a difficult person to approach, but in fact that's not the case at all, these people are all nonsense...

Izumi Uchiha walked beside Itachi in a hurry, the smile on her face as bright as a wildflower blooming in the Konoha forest.

"Actually, they are not wrong, I am such a person."

Uchiha Itachi smiled and looked at the girl next to him, and his mood became inexplicably happy.

The previous feelings of depression and anxiety were swept away by the girl's laughter.

"Is that so? So why don't I feel that way ... ”

Izumi Uchiha smiled happily,

"I think Itachi-kun is easy to get along with.,It's like a friend who's known for a long time.,It's not difficult to approach at all.,It's very kind.。。。

Ahead, the Uchiha clan's fan emblem looked tenderly at the two approaching two, as if welcoming them home.
