530 - Final Goodbye
The blood-red firelight stained the dark blue night sky, and the earth shook incessantly, and this battle that took place in the north of Konoha Village, even the home of Itachi, who was far away in the Uchiha station, felt the aftermath of this heaven and earth.
"Boom!"
After another noticeable tremor, a little dust fell from the roof.
"Wow, wow, wow, wow......" Uchiha Sasuke, a diaper warrior who was only a few months old, cried incessantly.
"Sasuke is good, Sasuke is not afraid, there is a brother here."
However, compared to the ignorant Sasuke, Itachi at this time was the one who was more afraid, because the ignorant boy could already feel the extreme evil thoughts of the Nine-Tails.
The coercion that seemed to devour everything could crush his thin body at any time.
However, at the age of 5, Itachi still mustered up the courage and bravely took on the responsibility of taking care of his younger brother.
"Wow, wow, wow, wow......" Sasuke still cried.
"Mom won't be back until later." Itachi comforted again.
Not long ago, their mother, Mikoto Uchiha, was recruited by the fourth Hokage-sama and left for the front line after leaving behind the phrase "I will be back soon".
As for their father, Uchiha Fugaku, God knows where the middle-aged man has gone at this moment, because Itachi hasn't seen him since he fell asleep.
Suddenly, there was a sudden sound of breaking through the air from his room.
"Who is it?!"
The alert boy soon noticed something unusual, and after much hesitation, he mustered up the courage to open the door to his bedroom, but the imaginary enemy did not appear, and at the moment standing in front of his windowsill was a black crow.
As he slowly approached, Itachi quickly noticed a small handful of snow white on the other side's black bird's head.
Brother Shisui once said that it was Nagataro who had a broken tail, and Kikumaru who had white hair on his head.
"Is that you, Kikumaru?"
The crow sat quietly in front of the window.
"Where's Jotaro?"
Usually they all act together, why is there only one today?
"Why are you here? I don't have anything to eat here. ”
As if to prove that he wasn't lying, Itachi quickly explained, "No, Sasuke is still hungry." ”
However, just as Itachi wanted to pick up Kikumaru, suddenly a middle-aged man's voice came from the living room.
"Itachi, who are you talking to?"
It's the father!
However, in the next moment, the crow named Kikumaru flapped its wings again and disappeared into the night.
"Ah...... Flew away. Itachi was slightly disappointed.
"What flew away?"
"It's Brother Shisui's crow, Kikumaru."
Fuyue frowned, keenly noticing the slight blood stains on the windowsill.
"Alright, leave it alone." Fu Yue finally withdrew his gloomy gaze and asked, "What about your mother?" ”
"Hokage-sama said she had something important to look for."
"Really......"
"Is my father going out too?"
After a slight pause, Fugaku replied, "Yes, take care of Sasuke." ”
"Hmm!" It was clear that Itachi was still a child to take care of, but he still nodded in agreement, and after a moment he said a little timidly, "And then ...... Come back early. ”
However, at this time, there is still the shadow of Fuyue at the door.
"I'll protect Sasuke!"
Itachi solemnly said to the empty door, this solemn promise is not only for his parents, but also for himself.
At this time, in another room in the Uchiha station, Megumi, whose whole body was dyed bright red, stood in place with kunai in his hand.
As the battle ended, the slowly rotating three-hooked jade writing wheel eye also regained its calm.
"Is it the Shadows?" The girl muttered subconsciously.
If it was the shadows, there was no need for the other party to sneak into her home so secretly and try to subdue her by force.
That's right, they are enemies.
"It's a root......
Looking at the two corpses on the ground that had lost their breath, the girl was a little stunned for a while.
Even if they are enemies, they are also ninjas of Konoha, and slaughtering their compatriots in their own village is still a little difficult for today's girls to accept.
Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking the air, and it was a new enemy?!
The three-hook jade writing wheel eye suddenly opened again!
But above the windowsill is ......
Crow?
It's just the crow's eyes, and what it's holding in its mouth......
Although Megumi wasn't sure if the crow was one of the crows that Shisui raised, the familiar shuriken kaleidoscope and the eye on the bird's beak made the girl extremely sure that it was the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye from Shisui.
Stop the water, is there an accident?
After a brief glance at each other, the crow tilted its head, then flapped its wings, and flew off into the distance with the question of the young girl.
This time, the crow didn't stop at all, and flew straight from the south of the village to the north, directly across the entire Konoha Village.
And on its way to its destination, there were battles large and small, the flames burning all over Konoha Village, and the huge beast shadow like a mountain in the north of the village...... All of this at a glance.
Eventually, it came to a remote temple, but even it had already turned into a battlefield of killing, and as it continued to fly deeper into the temple, more and more corpses came into its view.
"Who?!"
With a cold cry, the crow finally stopped moving forward, and at this moment it was a young man.
It found the person it had been looking for.
"Kikumaru?!" Qing Shui recognized the crow with a pinch of white fur on its head at a glance, "Why are you here?" ”
Then he subconsciously asked, "What about Jotaro?" ”
Because they have always acted together, Qing Shui has never seen them separate.
Suddenly, a young man with short yellow hair came out of the shadows, and after seeing him and Qing Shui look at each other, he slowly shook his head.
"Still haven't found it?" Qing Shui asked in a deep voice.
"There is no living mouth." Mizuto glanced at the trident kunai in his hand, where there was the spatial technique he had marked before leaving the village, which was supposed to be Kushina's belongings, "But Kushina is no longer here." ”
Although the enemy did not kill Jiu Sinai on the spot, but she was taken captive, I am afraid that the situation at this time is also extremely unoptimistic.
"We're late." Watergate's eyes were red, and he punched the wall hard, "It's all my fault, if it weren't for my poisoning......"
"Don't say such frustrating things."
Even without the Water Gate, they couldn't have ignored Kakashi's legs.
And now, there is no point in blaming, the key is to figure out the current situation first.
At this moment, Kikumaru suddenly jumped into Qing Shui's palm, and then it raised its head, and looked directly into Qing Shui's eyes with a kaleidoscope of sword in both hands.
In an instant, a large amount of chakra poured into Qing Shui's mind.
