"I'll go first, see you in the evening."

Kakashi Hachiki patted Uchiha Itachi on the shoulder like a brother, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a smile of relief, as if the two of them had made an appointment to go to a party together.

It's just that this meeting is not about family life, but about life and death.

Uchiha Itachi looked at Kakashi's distant back, and his heart suddenly moved.

"Captain Kakashi."

"Huh?"

Kakashi Hachiki stopped a little unexpectedly.

"Well, I have something I want to ask you...

The Uchiha met Kakashi Hachiki, his steps brisk but determined.

。。。。。。。。

Inside a small underpass.

The ninjas of the "root" and the shadows are guarded at each end of the passage.

Although they are both ninjas in Konoha, a discerning person can see the difference between the two groups of ninjas at a glance.

Although the ninjas in the shadows also wear masks, they still have the breath of a human on their bodies.

But the ninjas of the "root" are different, one by one they are shrouded in the dark aura of death, giving people the feeling that they are emotionless killing machines.

Although the two sides stood far away, they put on a posture of not interfering with the river water.

But the tense atmosphere in the air and the wary eyes speak for themselves.

At this time.

Located in a room in the middle of the underpass.

The four high-ranking members of Konoha sat cross-legged, but the expressions on their faces were very different.

Tuan Zang's face was as cold as a block of ice, and he had an aggressive posture.

The three generations of Hokage Ape Flying Sun Slash blushed rarely, and he didn't give in to the Danzou opposite.

Mito Menyan and Koharu, who sat on both sides, both smiled wryly, wanting to persuade each other but didn't know how to speak.

"It's all for the village, isn't that what you often say? Why, at this critical juncture, do you put your personal safety ahead of the village? Is this what a Hokage should do? ”

Danzang questioned as he let out a disdainful sneer.

"The target of the assassination is not you, of course you say so. If it were you, would you transfer all the ninjas of the "root" and face the ninjas sent by the Uchiha clan alone? I'm the Hokage.,My personal safety is the same as the safety of Konoha.。。。 ”

In the face of Tuan Zang's doubts, Ape Fei Ri did not give in.

"Danzou means to leave half of the shadows and put the main force near the Uchiha clan's station, after all, that is the most important battlefield...

Mito Menyan's words were only halfway through when he was forced back into his mouth by Ape Feiri's cruel gaze.

He lowered his head helplessly, putting on a look that he didn't care about himself.

"Is there any definite news of the ninja sent by the Uchiha clan to assassinate Hokage-sama?"

Turning to bed, Koharu said at the right time.

A smile flashed at the corner of Tuan Zang's eyebrows, and he nodded slightly at Koharu to express his gratitude.

"There was only one person who came to assassinate Hokage-sama, the eleven-year-old Nakaya, Uchiha Itachi. This news,I think Hokage-sama should have known about it a long time ago... ”

He deliberately put the accent on "eleven years old" and "middle ninja", and after speaking, he didn't forget to flush the water to make a look.

Sarutobi didn't answer, but the sharp arrow that pierced Danzang's eyes betrayed his heart.

"Uchiha Itachi? It seems to have been in the shadows for a while.,Because the strength doesn't meet the ninja standards of the shadows.,Later, I left the shadows.,Somehow entered the "root" again.,I'm right... ”

Mito Menyan said hesitantly.

Sarutobi's face became ugly.

When Uchiha Itachi left the shadows, he casually found an interface with insufficient strength, but he didn't expect to lift a stone to shoot himself in the foot, which became the best excuse for Danzang at this time.

"I was thinking about giving it a try. It wasn't until Uchiha Itachi got to the "root" that I realized that he was just a genius. Not to mention that he is not as good as the ninja in the shadows, he is not outstanding among the newcomers of "Root". ”

Tuan Zang said slowly, his cold expression softened a lot.

"If it's just a ninja of this strength, Hokage-sama doesn't need to be overly nervous. In the shadows, there are genius ninjas like Kakashi Hachiki who have made a name for themselves in the Great War. Hokage-sama, you don't have to do it yourself, just Kakashi alone is enough. ”

It was Koharu who spoke, and he still had a strange smile on his face when he said this, and it looked like he was laughing at the ape Fei Ri for being timid and afraid of death.

"Yesterday, the dark ministry reported that Uchiha Itachi defeated three Uchiha high-level executives who opened the writing wheel eye at the Uchiha station. . . ."

Ape Fei Ri's face turned the color of pig liver.

At this time, if you don't say anything to defend yourself, I'm afraid that you will never be able to raise your head in front of these three people in the future.

"Uchiha Itachi defeated the clansmen of the same clan, but I'm afraid the biggest reason is not strength, but because of his father, Uchiha Fugaku-sama...

Tuan Zang's mouth made a "hehe" sound, with a look of disdain,

"With Uchiha Itachi's strength, any elite ninja of the Uchiha clan can easily defeat him."

Ape Fei Ri was speechless for a moment.

He had thought the same thing before yesterday and had said the same thing to Kakashi Hachiki.

But at this moment, he couldn't come up with enough evidence to prove Uchiha Itachi's strength.

It can't be said that Kakashi thinks that Uchiha Itachi is very strong, so he must be heavily armed here, ignoring the safety of the entire Konoha family.

"That's good, I can understand Hokage-sama's concern. Kakashi Hagi stayed, leaving behind half of the elite ninjas of the Shadow Side to protect Hokage-sama's safety. For the sake of Konoha, I will send more than eighty percent of the elite ninjas of the "roots" to assist the dark side to protect Konoha together. That should be no problem... ”

The eyes of the three of them fell on the black face of the ape flying sun at the same time.

"I... Agree. ”

Ape Fei Sun slashed out three words viciously from his mouth.

。。。。。。。。

The sun is coming.

Above the sky of Konoha is a once-in-a-century wonder.

Two rounds of red suns hung high, burning the sky red.

The land, the village, the pedestrians...

Everything was clothed in blood-red garments.

The red sun in the west slowly fades behind the horizon.

The rest of the red sun finally showed its true face.

It is a blood moon as big as a millstone.

Around the full moon, the red halo became more and more thick, as if it was dripping blood.

Uchiha Itachi stood high on the high wall, looking in the direction of Konoha Village's entrance.

Even through countless buildings, he could still see the girl holding Sasuke Uchiha's hand at the entrance of the village at a glance.

The girl smiled and waved at him, and against this blood-colored background, it seemed like the person in the painting.

"Be careful...

He could read the words that came out of the girl's mouth.

He stared for a long time, and the backs of Izumi Uchiha and Sasuke gradually disappeared from his sight.

The full moon cast a huge shadow behind him, like a huge shield, guarding the entire Uchiha clan.
