As if sensing Itachi's uneasiness, Uchiha Fugaku changed the subject,

"As for the dark part, let's talk about it after your middle ninja exam is over. With your strength, passing the Zhongnin exam should be a sure thing. ”

He smiled cheerfully, not noticing the confusion in Itachi's eyes.

Even the writing wheel eye cannot see the road ahead.

At the end of that path, is there light or endless darkness?

Uchiha Itachi's eyes were a little confused, and the joy of being able to take the shinobi exam disappeared without a trace.

His father's words left an indelible shadow on his heart.

It's the dark part again.

I thought I could change everything after being reborn.

But the reality is always so cruel, and I still have to face the same choices as in my previous life.

"The Shadows? Or is it a normal ninja? ”

His eyebrows twisted into a rope that he couldn't let go of for a long time.

"Itachi, it's time to eat..."

It's the mother's voice.

He let go of his worries, let go of his brows, and walked over to his family, who were waiting for him to eat.

Looking at the three smiling faces under the light, feeling the atmosphere of strong love, the smile returned to Itachi's face.

。。。。。。。。

Konoha Forest.

The continuous sound of metal crashing and the explosion of ninjutsu.

Although it was only a friendly exchange, it was a little more fierce than ordinary people's desperate struggle.

The shuriken in the sky sparkled with sparks in the air, and then fell gloomily.

Two juvenile beasts rushed towards their opponents.

"Boom."

The kunai in his hand slammed into each other.

The figures suddenly parted.

"Fire escape, the art of fireball."

The Uchiha stopped the water and sealed it first.

A huge fireball in his mouth rushed towards the Uchiha Itachi not far in front of him with a rolling heat wave.

The distance is too short, and it is too late to defend or counterattack.

The corners of Uchiha Itachi's mouth lifted slightly, evoking a hint of a smile.

It's worthy of stopping the water, such a fast sealing speed, this level of fireball, I'm afraid that few people in the Uchiha clan, who are known for their fire, can do it.

"No, it's not..."

The Uchiha Shisui couldn't help but exclaim.

Uchiha Itachi stood there with a smile, letting the huge fireball slam down on him.

Under the shocked gaze of the Uchiha Shisui, Itachi's body exploded into countless pieces in the air.

"Not good!"

Before the words could be uttered in the Uchiha's mouth, the debris in the air suddenly turned into a black crow, screaming and rushing towards him.

There was a familiar aura coming from behind him, and it was too late for him to get rid of it.

The kunai in Uchiha Itachi's hand was on his neck.

"Damn, it's really unaccustomed to not having to write wheels."

He whispered remorsefully.

Since maintaining the Sharingan consumes a large amount of chakra, and the two want to be able to hone more physical skills and ninjutsu, they have decided to prohibit the use of the Sharingan.

The fierce battle lasted for an hour, and finally, when both sides were exhausted, Itachi Uchiha skillfully used his doppelganger technique to trick Shizui's eyes into deciding the winner.

"Hoo 。。。。。"

With a long exhalation, Uchiha Shisui looked at Itachi Uchiha with a smile,

"Sure enough, I'm the most motivated to cultivate with you."

"yes."

Itachi Uchiha replied with the same smile.

The Uchiha took out the kettle and poured a few gulps of "grunt", letting out a sigh of satisfaction.

He smiled and handed the kettle in his hand to Itachi Uchiha,

"Fujiki Shinobu still refuses to recommend you to take the middle ninja exam?"

"Yes."

Itachi nodded, his voice faint.

"Isn't he jealous of your talent? With your strength, a genius of the Uchiha clan like me, and the best of the middle ninja have all been defeated by you, how can you not be qualified to take the middle ninja exam. ”

The Uchiha shouted angrily.

"I don't know what Fujiki-sensei thinks, but the top of Konoha recommended me. I only got the news last night. ”

There was no joy in Itachi's voice.

"That's great, with your strength, there will definitely be no problem in passing the exam. It's just that.... ”

The smile on Uchiha's face froze, and he looked at Uchiha Itachi with puzzled eyes,

"Why don't you look happy at all?"

"It is said to be highly recommended by Shimura Danzo...

"Really?"

Uchiha's voice also lowered.

"Forget it, don't think about it. Anyway, you can become a shinobi and get rid of that bastard of Fujiki, can't you? ”

Uchiha Shisui suddenly laughed again,

"By the way, how are you doing with that girl named "Izumi"? ”

Looking at his somewhat malicious smile, Uchiha Itachi's face suddenly turned red,

"I wasn't talking about the Zhongnin exam just now, why did I suddenly change the subject. It's just a girl who's met a few times.,Nothing special.。。。 ”

"Hehe, as far as I know, that's not the case. I've seen you all go home together several times. ”

"Damn, you're following me...

Uchiha Itachi's eyes widened to teach him a lesson, but he ran away with a grin.

"Izumi I know, too, and she's a nice girl."

"Can you not discuss this kind of topic while practicing...

"Okay, okay...

。。。。。。。。。

The two grinned as they walked back to the village.

The afterglow of the setting sun pulled a long shadow behind the two of them.

"By the way, how is your father?"

Uchiha Itachi asked abruptly.

A dark cloud covered the sunny face of the Uchiha Shisui.

"It's still the same."

His voice was a little muffled.

Uchiha's father lost a leg in the Great War, and his injuries have not been well treated.

Now it's getting worse and worse, and it's getting to the point of being bedridden.

The mother was frail and sickly, and the life of the family was supported by the work of Uchiha Shisui.

"He's getting weaker and weaker lately, and a lot of times he doesn't recognize me anymore."

"I'm sorry, I can't help either."

Uchiha Itachi looked at the water and said apologetically.

"People always have to die, and I'm mentally prepared."

Uchiha's words were more like saying to himself.

Uchiha Itachi listened to his somewhat tragic words and wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say, so he had to lower his head and walk silently.

"By the way, Shimura Danzou recommended that you take the middle ninja exam, it's not that simple. He wouldn't give a favor to a member of the Uchiha clan for no reason. ”

The Uchiha stopped the silence.

"I know. I just can't guess what he wants from me. I'm only nine years old now.,It's just a lower ninja.,And the strength is not strong enough to make the high-level look at it differently.。。。 ”

"You have to be careful. I'm afraid it won't end there. ”

"I see...

This time, the road was completely quiet.
