Ninjas, first and foremost, are people.

In the world of Naruto, there were people first, and then there were ninjas.

Chakra, which was born for peace, created a special group of "ninjas".

However, it is contrary to the original intention of the Six Dao Immortals to create Chakra.

The Hokage World is like a wild horse that has escaped from the leash, running for its life on the road to self-destruction.

War and peace, like twins, have become the eternal theme of the Hokage world.

。。。。。。。。

Itachi Uchiha's index finger was on Sasuke's forehead for the last time.

The body of the reincarnated earth began to split silently, and pieces of white body fragments flew in the cold cavern, turning into soft white points of light.

Like the stars in the sky, illuminating the dark cave.

The faint light did not escape the fate of being swallowed by the darkness, and Sasuke's handsome and angular face quickly disappeared into the endless darkness along with the points of light.

"My favorite brother."

A moan of near-pain came from his mouth.

The world, which brought him unforgettable pain, finally left him.

But the body has disappeared, why does the heart still hurt so much?

Why isn't there a little bit of relief?

All along, Uchiha Itachi has always adhered to the belief of "Konoha supremacy".

For the sake of Konoha, he did not hesitate to send the Uchiha clan to hell with his own hands.

Kill his parents who love him the most with his own hands.

Except for Sasuke, his only younger brother, the most loved person in the world.

But why did he go all the way to the end of his life, and the past was still like a sharp blade, piercing his heart every second?

"What I have done, my hands stained with the blood of innocent people, all this, is it right or wrong?"

Questions that he never dared to think about when he was alive came to his mind when he died.

。。。。。。。。

Somewhere in the universe is unknowable.

An infinite river runs between heaven and earth.

There is no beginning, no end.

The slowly flowing river is the only one in this world.

There is no sun, no moon, no stars.

The sky is eternally black.

Only the sparkling waves on the river and the little white light falling in the sky brought a little light to this deathly dark space.

The Uchiha Itachi was slowly falling in the direction of the river at this time.

As one of the billions of points of light, he knew exactly what was about to happen.

Once he falls into the river of time, he will lose his memories, feelings, and consciousness as the river flows, until he is completely wiped out.

No one can resist time, just as no one can change his fate.

He hesitated, trying to stay in the air for a few more breaths.

But the struggle was in vain.

It's like an ant trying to fly, ridiculous and pathetic.

No matter how high it flies, a kite with a broken string will one day return to the ground.

Like the billions of points of light, the Uchiha Itachi was powerless to change anything.

Maybe it was thousands of years, or maybe it was just the time of blinking his eyes, and the ball of light of his consciousness fell into the long river of time.

The river was sticky, wet, and wrapped around him with a biting chill.

The water flows very slowly.

But with every movement, the river that relentlessly washed the ball of light would take something away from his consciousness.

First it was Yakushidou, then Nagato...

Xiaonan, Tuanzang, Ape Flying Sun.

One by one, the deceased was erased from his consciousness and disappeared without a trace.

As if in his life, these people never existed.

A ninja with a shark-like face began to walk away from him.

"Dried persimmon ghost shark."

Before betraying the Fog Hidden Village and joining "Akatsuki", a ninja who made killing his companions a profession.

Ever since they first met, Oni has had an inexplicable reverence for Uchiha Itachi.

For the Itachi, who completely wiped out the people of the same clan and refused to let go of even his own biological parents, the companionship of the ghost shark has long gone beyond the framework of the "Xiao" organization.

It was precisely because of Itachi's death that the ghost shark couldn't wait to go to Yunyin Village and ended his life in a hurry.

It was as if I wanted to be with the weasel on the Yellow Springs Road.

Perhaps, only people who have experienced the same pain can become a bond with each other.

"I'm a ninja who kills my fellow people, Itachi. If you're careless, I'll kill you. ”

This was the first time the two met, and the ghost shark had a serious face when he said this, without the slightest joke.

In the end, the two became the closest companions in the "Xiao" organization.

I wonder if the ghost shark is also in the air, waiting to fall into this river of time?

Despite having no body anymore, the Uchiha Itachi could still see his own smile.

Frozen by the cold river water, he was almost unable to think, but he could feel a trace of warmth, and his thinking became easier.

The oni shark disappeared into the darkness, and in the Uchiha Itachi's consciousness, there was no longer this person's existence.

"Stop the water!"

Another very important person in his life appeared in his consciousness.

Uchiha's smile was warm and intimate, and there was no trace of gloom on his sunny face.

Who would have thought.

Such a young man, the Uchiha genius who opened the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye and was called "instantaneous water stopping", was robbed of his eyes by Danzo, and finally had to commit suicide by throwing himself into the river.

At the moment when Uchiha Shisui completely disappeared, he clearly saw a black crow flying out of Shisui's body.

Strangely, despite the sadness stirring in the ball of light, Uchiha Itachi suddenly relaxed.

It was as if a prisoner who had been imprisoned for many years had untied the heavy shackles of his whole body for the first time.

Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Mikoto.

felt the strong love of the two of them leave him.

What Uchiha Itachi feared most finally happened.

His last concern, his favorite brother, Sasuke Uchiha, also began to leave his consciousness.

"No...

On the surface of the River of Time, a white ball of light shone slightly, as if it was roaring silently, as if it wanted to burn its last bit of energy and want to leave something behind.

The ball of light darkened completely, a few points darker than the darkest ball of light in the river of time.

The most important person in his life, for Uchiha Itachi, the younger brother who had to protect his life was also completely erased.

His heart was colder than the river, and he had completely given up thinking and waited for the final moment.

The last faint shadow was forcibly stripped from the ball of light, floating into the boundless darkness.

Itachi Uchiha knew that it was himself.

When the phantom disappears, he will become a part of the river of time, and there will be no more Uchiha Itachi.

When his consciousness gradually blurred, he was about to die completely.

His shadow in the air, perhaps the real Uchiha Itachi, suddenly spoke:

Why do you live so painfully, because the "righteousness" you insist on is imposed on you by others, not your own "righteousness"! ”

It was as if he had been slammed with a jack-hammer.

The ball of light suddenly emitted a dazzling bright light, illuminating most of the river.

Imposed justice, Uchiha water stops, shackles, illusion "Besten God", Danzo...

In an instant, the memories returned to the ball of light, and all the clues were strung together.

"I'm not reconciled!"

For the first time in an unknown space, a human roar sounded.

A white ball of light trembled violently on the surface of the River of Time, as if it was about to fly from the surface of the river.
