"Actually, you don't have to comfort me, such an order cannot be given without my father's approval. Even if that's not what he thinks. ”

Uchiha Itachi smiled and stood up,

"Don't worry, I can't hold a grudge against my father for something like this."

"That's good. I'll just deal with a few casual words when I report, and nothing will happen. ”

Uchiha Shisui breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and reminded again:

"Since you have been targeted by those radicals in the clan, then be more careful, I am worried that those people will deliberately come to you for trouble."

"It's just some clowns, hehe...

This time, Uchiha Itachi's laughter was from the heart.

"Also,Why did you join the "root"?,Tuan Zang is not a good person... ”

Within a day, Itachi Uchiha faced the same problem for the second time.

"There's something in the root that I want, and it's important to the Uchiha clan."

This time, in the face of his friend, he chose to be honest.

"Then you have to be careful."

Uchiha Itachi saw unreserved trust in Shisui's eyes, which made his cold heart warm slightly.

The top of the cliff fell silent.

The howling night wind swept over the heads of the two sitting side by side, and continued to swoop into the quiet woods.

Neither of them spoke, but quietly watched the river churning up and down below.

"Itachi, do you think we can do it and stop the Uchiha clan from going to war with Konoha?"

After a long silence, the Uchiha finally spoke.

There was weakness and despair in his voice that was very different from his usual life.

"We can do it, and we have to do it."

Itachi Uchiha reached out and patted Uchiha Shisui on the shoulder, wanting to give his friend some confidence.

But at this moment, he is also asking the same question in his heart.

。。。。。。。。

The borders of the Fire Nation.

Three figures of different heights walked through the not-so-dense woods, and their faces were white masks of "roots" that were the same as in the previous part.

"Tiger" and Uchiha Itachi walked side by side.

Left behind was a young man named "Tenzo", although he was still young, he was a very important ninja in the group.

Uchiha Itachi successfully joined the "root", and Danzo also got his wish to get the coveted land weapon.

Of course, no matter how rare the sword is, it also needs to be sharpened, and this time the task is the whetstone of Uchiha Itachi.

The content of the task is not complicated.

Infiltrate the Land of Rain and kill a group of exiled ninjas who have crossed the border several times to loot their belongings.

Although the number of enemies far outnumbered the Uchiha Itachi squad, this level of mission really didn't prove anything.

This is also the reason why the three of them look listless.

Not far ahead, a thin curtain was drawn in the air by a gentle drizzle.

The warm sunlight of the Fire Nation gradually dimmed.

The Land of Rain has arrived.

"Maintain battle formation and speed up your march."

Uchiha Itachi coldly dropped a sentence, suddenly accelerated, like a black lightning, smashed through the curtain of rain falling from the sky, and disappeared into the territory of the Land of Rain.

。。。。。。。。

Smoke rises from the rooftops with the smell of food.

A group of five or six-year-olds, cloaked in mud, laughed and played in the drizzle, and the smiling scolding of the adults sounded more like encouragement.

The sound of laughter like silver bells wafted through the air, and it seemed that it would never stop.

Several puppies looked at the scene in the clearing with curious eyes, and soon jumped into the crowd as well.

The joyful atmosphere became more and more lively because of their participation.

Itachi Uchiha looked at the small village ahead with a puzzled look.

For a moment, he was in a trance, suspecting that he had mistaken the mission objective.

The enemy he expected to be a group of ninjas in full armor should not be what they were in front of him at all.

"This is it, let's do it."

"Tiger"'s relentless voice shattered the last vestiges of Uchiha Itachi's illusions.

Two dark shadows rushed out from behind him, targeting the group of unsuspecting children in the open space at the entrance of the village.

An extreme sorrow pervaded Itachi's body.

Finally, he made it this far.

At this moment, he understood the significance of Tuan Zang's arrangement of this mission.

What "Root" needs is not a ninja, but a killing machine.

Only killing is the only "root".

The bitterness in the hand of the "tiger" stabbed into the throat of a boy without hindrance.

The boy had a happy smile on his face, but the blood gushing from his throat prevented him from making any sound.

His pure eyes were full of doubt.

The alarm sounded as the first drop of blood fell.

Crowds pounced on the clearing, red with the blood of young children, from all directions.

Itachi Uchiha finally took a step.

Step by step into the hellish slaughter.

"It's Konoha ninjas, kill them...

A heart-rending roar rang out from the crowd.

Most of them rushed to the diminutive Tenzo, apparently believing him to be the weaker of the two.

Countless snake-like roots burst out of Tenzo's body, instantly piercing several ninjas who tried to get closer.

The roots of the tree flicked like arms, and several corpses flew out of the distance, splashing a few mud flowers.

The fierce crowd stepped on the corpses of their relatives and friends and rushed towards the three Konoha ninjas, and the battle was unexpectedly fierce.

In a short distance, Uchiha Itachi seems to have walked a lifetime.

However, he eventually made it to the battlefield.

A man armed with a long knife rushed at Itachi Uchiha, roaring and slashing down with all his strength.

Just as the long knife was about to land on top of Uchiha Itachi's head, a red light flashed in front of the man's eyes.

The man's whole body was paralyzed, his body froze in place like a puppet, and only the burning anger in his eyes and the sweat on his forehead proved that he was a living person.

The man's head rose into the sky with a sword light, and the red fountain stained Itachi's entire body red.

"The order of Lord Tuanzang is to annihilate them all, leaving no one alive."

"Tiger" snorted dissatisfiedly at Uchiha Itachi, and pounced on the crowd with a long knife he had picked up.

And Tianzang is tirelessly harvesting one life after another.

"Wood Escape".

The legendary ninjutsu is said to be a retreat that can only be used by the first Hokage Senju Tsuma.

At this moment, he was used by a short teenager to kill as much as he wanted.

A girl screams and rushes in the direction of Uchiha Itachi.

The horror made her screams a little weird, sounding like a cry from hell.

The voice echoed in Itachi's ears, but it seemed to be far, far away from him.

A twig pierced the girl's back, pinning her heavily to Itachi's feet.

The scarlet liquid stained the ground beneath the girl.

The red color soon spread over the soles of Uchiha Itachi's feet, far away.
