The candles in the room went out without warning.

Silent darkness hangs over Uchiha Itachi and Danzo.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became harmonious, as if darkness was the most suitable color for the two of them.

The Uchiha Itachi didn't move, just stood quietly in the dark.

After a moment of silence, Danzang spoke again:

"Although he doesn't have your God-given talents. But this man has also shown special talents since he was a child, and he has gone very smoothly all the way from lower forbearance to middle forbearance. At the same time as ascending to the upper ninja, he entered the dark part.,And,He also has a special pair of eyes.。。。 ”

As the words were interrupted, the candles in the room lit up again.

The faint candlelight flickered in the air, seemingly ready to go out at any moment.

"It wasn't until recently that I got news of his secret passage to the Fog Hidden Village."

Traitor....

Itachi Uchiha already understood the content of the mission.

"Very few people know that he is a mole, so your mission is to kill this man."

Uchiha Itachi nodded, not answering.

He was already mentally prepared, but Danzang's words were not finished.

"People in the shadows usually work under masks. Most people don't let their families know that they work in the shadows. So, nominally, he is just an ordinary shinobi, living an ordinary life, with a gentle wife, and a six-year-old daughter... ”

Uchiha Itachi calmly looked at the grim face behind the candle flame in Danzo.

It's just a task, why should he mention the family of the target of the mission.

Is this a test of my resolve to carry out my mission, a hint that my motives for entering the shadows are not pure, or a reminder of the fate of being a traitor to my village?

Not allowing him to continue to think deeply, Danzang continued:

"If you hadn't colluded with the fog, this man would be a very capable and excellent ninja trusted by the Hokage...

With Uchiha Itachi's comprehension, it was easy to hear the irony of Danzo when he said the words "excellent ninja".

"However, if you tolerate the presence of traitors, you will not be able to govern the village well."

Danzo's voice sounded cold.

"Yes."

For the first time, Uchiha Itachi responded positively to Danzo's words.

Danzang's left eye reflected a merciless cold light in the candlelight,

"Whoever has any grievances or secrets, as long as they are traitors to the village, they must die. So... ”

Danzou dragged out his voice, as if testing Uchiha Itachi's concentration,

"Kill this man."

He finally uttered those last words from the air, his gaze fixed on Itachi's Uchiha face, trying to find the slightest waver or hesitation.

"I see."

Itachi Uchiha didn't hesitate in the slightest.

Not a single ripple was visible from his face.

For Uchiha Itachi, it's not just because of his father's relationship.

Only by entering the dark part can he understand the dynamics of the upper layer of Konoha for the first time.

And this information is very important to the Uchiha clan, and it is also the key to whether the Uchiha clan can survive in the next few years.

So, whether the target is a good ninja or not, or whether you have a family or not, as long as you are a traitor, you must die.

For the sake of the Uchiha clan, he would never say no.

Danzou stood up from his chair, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a satisfied smile appeared.

"I'm sure now that the Shadows is where you should join, but until then, you have to prove that you have the qualifications to do so, the Ninjas of the Shadows, each one is the best of the best...

"Yes."

Itachi's answer was short and firm.

"Hmm...

Tuan Zang frowned slightly,

"That man is not an ordinary ninja, his strength has far exceeded the level of the ninja, plus those eyes...

He finally made up his mind,

"Well, you can bring a companion with you on this mission. The choice is yours, and remember to bring the people you trust the most. ”

"Yes, I see."

Itachi Uchiha lowered his head slightly.

Danzou walked around the long table in front of him and slowly walked towards the Uchiha Itachi, exuding an extremely dark aura from his body.

"Peace is not something that can be achieved in a few simple words...

He didn't mean to end the conversation at all,

"Man's desires are always endless. People who don't have food want to get food, and people who don't have money want to get money. With money and food, you want power. It is these desires that distort the human mind. It also brings all kinds of instability to the village... ”

He continued:

"In the shadow of peace, there are many people alive who are suffering, and they are ready to destroy and threaten the village. It is necessary to solve all kinds of problems that lurk behind the sunlight and in the darkness. Burdened with darkness, the people who deal with these issues are the real heroes. ”

"If it weren't for those who ignored all feelings and had the courage to cut off any dead branch on the big tree of Konoha, the people of Konoha would always live in turmoil and not have a moment of peace. Don't you think we should spit on those who have forgotten these things and only know how to enjoy the good life in peace ... ”

Danzou stopped in front of Itachi Uchiha, the icy darkness completely drowning him.

"The one who can bring peace to this world is the one who voluntarily throws himself into the deepest darkness of the world, who is willing to sacrifice himself for peace, and who gives up his family and all his feelings. The Shadows and the Roots are for these people ... ”

Danzou carefully observed every subtle expression of Uchiha Itachi with one eye.

However, in the end, he failed.

There was no approval, no resistance, no smile, no fear.

Itachi Uchiha's face seemed to be carved out of stone without the slightest change.

Danzang sighed in disappointment.

"You haven't found your true self yet, Itachi Uchiha. You and I are the same kind of people, and only darkness is best for us. We are all sick, and only pain, the pain of staying up all night, is the only cure for us. Someday, you will understand this ... ”

Uchiha Itachi didn't say a word, he had completely figured out Danzo's thoughts.

Danzo already knew the purpose of Uchiha Fugaku arranging for him to enter the shadows, and this mission was the best hint.

It's just that it seems that Danzou doesn't care about this.

The purpose of the group is clear.

The Uchiha Itachi was silent, waiting for Danzou to say his final words.

"You're a smart kid, I'm sorry to go around in such a big circle with you. Come to the "root", come to my side, Uchiha Itachi. ”

Danzo's evil lips curled slightly, as if he was smiling.
