In the midst of endless darkness.

A crow wants to soar into the sky.

His three pitch-black feet were wrapped around an ominous number.

The darkness bound him tightly to the ground.

No matter how much he struggled, the hand of darkness pulled him forcefully, dragging him into the endless abyss.

The sky is getting farther and farther away from him.

In the crow's blood-red pupils, blood and tears flowed.

。。。。。。。。

Minamiga Shrine.

"The day we turn over is coming!"

Uchiha Fugaku's unequivocal voice rang out in the dimly lit room.

Itachi Uchiha sat quietly on the ground.

The people who stood up around him blocked the last rays of light, drowning him in darkness.

All of them were stained with an ominous aura.

Through the dark forest, which obscured his view, he noticed that there was another man who was also sitting still.

"Uchiha stops water...

As if sensing his gaze, Uchiha Shisui turned his head and looked at Itachi.

There was a loneliness in his eyes that he had never seen before.

A sad smile appeared on Uchiha Shisui's face.

"Our struggle will bring infinite glory to the future of the Uchiha clan."

At the same time as Uchiha Fugaku's voice fell, a deafening cheer rang out in the room.

Itachi Uchiha sat quietly on the ground.

What appeared in front of his eyes was the picture of these Uchiha clansmen lying in blood one by one, dead and staring.

。。。。。。。。

The Uchiha Itachi was just one step away from the shadows.

There is one last thing he needs to do before he can go into the shadows.

And he wasn't ready for it all.

The man named Hinata Mukai, a master of physical arts with white eyes.

After his last mission, his self-confidence had been temporarily destroyed by Itachi Uchiha.

It's just that for such a determined ninja, a blow of this magnitude may not have a long-term effect.

Itachi Uchiha had to strike before that blow was completely worn out, and only then could he gain a psychological advantage.

Tomorrow is the day when Hinata Mukai disappears from this world.

After receiving the information sent by Danzo, Uchiha Itachi made up his mind to do it tomorrow.

At that time, the only two people left in Hinata's Mukai team will leave Konoha and perform a mission with a difficulty level of "C".

The mission location is located on the border of the Land of Fire and Earth, and is one of the best locations to carry out assassinations.

At that point, all you need to do is push everything to Iwakure.

It's all a group of arrangements.

After getting the news, he immediately notified the Uchiha Shisui.

And the route and place of the assassination were carefully planned.

It's just that there is still a faint uneasiness in his heart.

Some inexplicable emotion has been haunting him.

Hinata is a traitor to Konoha.

But himself, Uchiha Itachi...

For the sake of the Uchiha clan, they will also embark on this path of no return.

At that time, who will come to kill me?

He was so immersed in his emotions that he didn't hear Sasuke Uchiha's cry of dissatisfaction.

"Brother...

Sasuke looked at Itachi Uchiha, who was sitting on a branch in contemplation, and shouted loudly again.

"Hmm...

Itachi Uchiha finally heard his brother's voice.

"I've put it all in according to your request...

。。。。。。。。

Konoha Forest.

The sun was setting, and there was only a golden glow on the horizon.

The light in the woods dimmed.

In the silence of the forest, the cicadas chirp is particularly poignant and disturbing.

Because tomorrow is about to carry out the most important mission since the rebirth.

Uchiha Itachi specially took time out of the evening to accompany his younger brother in ninjutsu training.

On the one hand, it's because of Sasuke Uchiha's begging for a month.

On the other hand, because he was not 100% sure that he would be able to kill the man named Hinata Mukai.

If the mission fails, there is a good chance that he will die at the hands of Hinata Mukai, in that case. This will be the last time he will accompany his younger brother to practice.

"Brother, let's start...

Sasuke looked at his brother, his immature face flushed with excitement.

"Okay."

Itachi Uchiha smiled faintly and closed his eyes.

The fingertips of his hands firmly held the eight kunai.

In the dense bushes, according to his request, Sasuke placed a total of eight targets in the shape of concentric circles.

Most of these targets are hidden in places that are not visible to the naked eye, and the location of the target can only be felt through the chakra.

He took a deep breath.

The air in the forest was mixed with the scent of grass and green leaves, which calmed his somewhat impetuous mood a little.

He concentrated, concentrating Chakra on his eyes.

Writing Wheel Eyes...

Between heaven and earth, it suddenly became blood-red.

A fresh breeze blew in the forest.

He looked up, and eight concentric circles of targets were reflected in his red eyes at the same time.

He sighed softly, kicked his legs hard, and leaped high into the air.

His body was reversed in the air, turning into a head-and-to-foot position.

This incredibly dangerous move allows him to lower his center of gravity, make his shots more consistent, and hit targets more accurately.

He closed his eyes in the air, and his body was in free fall.

His mind locked on the positions of eight targets at once.

There are four that are easy to hit.

Two are relatively difficult, and the last two are simply unhittable in the current position.

And the most difficult one is hidden behind a huge stone.

With a flick of his left hand, the four were shot at the relatively easy four targets.

This was followed by two of the right hand, which hit equally accurately.

Itachi Uchiha swapped one kunai in his right hand for his left hand in the air.

In this way, he has a kunai in each of his left and right hands.

His eyes snapped open, and his arms flicked out at the same time.

The two kunai collided in the air, making a crunch of metal impact.

The two kunai changed direction in the air and flew towards different targets.

Just two meters in the air from the ground, his body bent slightly, flipped beautifully in the air, and landed steadily.

At the same time, the red in his eyes faded and became black and white.

The Uchiha Itachi straightened up, and his eyes fell on Sasuke, who was hiding behind a large tree.

Sasuke Uchiha was staring blankly at the target behind the rock, as if he couldn't believe that his brother was able to hit eight targets at the same time.

"It's amazing, brother, even the target placed in the dead corner under the rock hit the bull's-eye...

Sasuke Uchiha finally came to his senses and happily jumped out from behind the tree.

"Then it's up to me...

"Alright, Sasuke, it's almost time to go back...

The scrappy Sasuke was like a popping balloon, and suddenly wilted,

"But brother, you promised me to teach me new shuriken skills...

Sasuke's face was full of dissatisfaction.
