Root.

The roots of the Shimura Danzo.

The hint in Sasuke Uchiha's mouth was so obvious that it immediately reminded Uchiha Itachi of his darkest days, the days when he acted as a double agent at the root.

Uchiha Itachi's expression, which had always been like an iceberg, finally appeared a little moved, because he knew better than anyone the danger of Shimura Danzo!

This younger brother...

Did he join the roots like him?

Something went wrong!

Shimura Danzo, that kind of person is an evil ghost!

Uchiha Sasuke joining Shimura Tunzang's command is equivalent to stepping into hell with one foot, even if Uchiha Itachi thinks that he can contain Tunzang outside, but it is impossible to protect Sasuke's safety at all times, Sasuke's life will become a handle for Shimura Tunzang to blackmail himself!

Uchiha Itachi's gaze was firmly fixed on the black-haired boy in front of him, and he could feel the arrogance and indifference displayed in Uchiha Sasuke...

Because of the addition of roots...

Will his younger brother become the strange appearance he is now?

Root.

There is no past, and there is no future.

Ninjas in the roots often lose their feelings, and they can't even use their own names, and they all end up being tools in the hands of Shimura Danzo!

The current Sasuke Uchiha...

Except for the arrogance that comes from the Uchiha's bloodline, everything else looks too much like a ninja from the roots, and there is no light at all...

"Mr. Itachi."

"Is this your own brother?"

The dried persimmon ghost shark picked up the shark muscle sword, the tension in his expression relaxed, and he grinned and looked at Uchiha Sasuke: "The latent ability is a little extraordinarily good..."

After the dried persimmon ghost shark finished speaking, the words suddenly changed, and the smile on his face became a little bloody: "However, it's just a little too arrogant, it seems that you need to educate it well!" ”

“……”

Itachi Uchiha furrowed his brow.

"Education?"

However, Uchiha Sasuke raised his eyebrows, landed on the body of the dried persimmon oni, and said contemptuously: "A traitorous ninja who has nowhere to rely on in the ninja world, even dares to speak out here to teach me how to do things?" ”

“！！！”

The face of the dried persimmon ghost shark changed.

The arrogance of this little imp...

It's even a little domineering!

The dried persimmon oni shark is a little incomprehensible, how can the Uchiha Itachi, who has always been very polite by his side, have such an uneducated younger brother!

"I'll kill him, are you okay?"

Uchiha Sasuke glanced back at Uchiha Itachi, as if he was asking Uchiha Itachi's opinion, but the casual killing intent in his mouth seemed to have made up his mind.

"What arrogance..."

The dried persimmon ghost shark clenched his shark muscles, and the shark's predatory eyes became particularly dangerous: "It seems that I really need to teach you this little ghost for Mr. Itachi..."

"Let me do it myself."

Uchiha Itachi stopped the movement of the dried persimmon oni shark, a touch of scarlet reappeared in his eyes, stared at his own brother in front of him, and whispered: "Sasuke, it seems that you have gained a little bit of power to make you overconfident, and you will become like this..."

"Now..."

"Let's reacquaint you with the gap between us..."

As Uchiha Itachi spoke, the writing wheel in his eye socket slowly turned into the shape of a kaleidoscope: "It also reminds you of the fear of that night..."

"At least..."

"Later you will also understand what humility and politeness are."

The next moment!

The Tsukiyo in the Uchiha Itachi's eye socket is activated again!

The Tsukiyo illusion will bring more pain to Sasuke Uchiha, so that this younger brother can become stronger in the pain, and it can also create an illusory space!

After all...

There's one more person here.

Itachi Uchiha needed a secret space that would allow him to leak some information to Sasuke Uchiha, at least to make the younger brother understand that he couldn't stay at the roots.

The world turned gray in an instant.

Sasuke Uchiha stood in the gray world, as if remembering everything he had experienced that past night, and the smell of blood seemed to reverberate in his nose.

The people of the streets...

The elderly and children in the house...

And finally, mom and dad at home...

In this gray world, Uchiha Itachi wielded the butcher knife in his hand, and there was a bloody scene under the knife in his hand, and all the clansmen fell on top of Uchiha Itachi's butcher's butcher knife, and one corpse after another lay in a pool of blood...

Blood...

It is the only color in this gray world.

Suffering...

is the tone of this gray world.

That night...

The whole world has been turned upside down.

No one understands the pain of loss better than Sasuke Uchiha.

Uchiha Sasuke looked at the bloody nights that happened again in front of him, but instead of pain, there was a touch of sentimentality in his eyes to see the tragedy happen.

This moment...

Sasuke Uchiha is like an outsider watching a drama.

Merely...

He himself is one of the tragic characters in this bloody drama.

Without him...

Because Sasuke Uchiha knows the truth.

Whether it's the truth about the demise of the Uchiha clan, or the truth about the Uchiha Itachi raising the butcher's knife...

Sasuke Uchiha looked at the scenes in the Tsukiyomi space with a sad expression, feeling his powerlessness that night, until he saw Itachi Uchiha standing in front of him like a demon with a butcher knife...

“……”

Uchiha Itachi's heart struck.

This younger brother...

Why didn't you feel fear?

This scene should be the psychological shadow of his life, and any time he takes it out, it should make him have a nervous breakdown, why wouldn't he be afraid to experience another night of extermination!

"Is this your memory?"

Uchiha Sasuke looked at the gray Uchiha Itachi, and suddenly said calmly: "Go back in time, let me see where you went before you wiped out the clan..."

“！！！”

Uchiha Itachi's eyes suddenly tightened!

Sasuke...

Got the idea!

No, I guess I know something!

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been asked the truth like this!

Could it be that the man from Shimura Tunzo told him? Did you tell Sasuke the secret truth about the fall of the Uchiha clan? That kind of secrecy shouldn't be leaked!

"You went to the Hokage's office before you wiped out the clan, right?"

Uchiha Sasuke looked at the Uchiha Itachi in front of him, whose expression changed slightly, and calmly said the truth: "You made a decision self-righteously, and chose to make a deal with the higher-ups of the village, on the condition that I survive, and assisted them in killing everyone in the Uchiha clan, including our parents and fathers..."

“……”

Uchiha Itachi's eyes changed completely.

"What a disgusting world..."

Sasuke Uchiha sighed lightly, stretched out his fingers, and snapped his fingers lightly, and the picture of the night of the extermination quickly shattered!

The kaleidoscope writing wheel eye level illusion was easily cracked with a snap of his fingers, and this scene also made Uchiha Itachi's face change again!

Sasuke...

When did there be such power!

"Kaleidoscope Writing Wheel Eye..."

Uchiha Itachi looked at Uchiha Sasuke in disbelief and asked with a stunned face, "When... Did you turn on the kaleidoscope writing wheel? ”

"It's not a surprising power..."

Sasuke Uchiha's fingers dropped slightly, calmly recounting the theory of the kaleidoscope writing wheel opening that he had heard from the second Hokage Senju.

"As long as we are unable to extricate ourselves from the pain, the stimulus of wanting to make up for the regrets of the past will make our brains secrete more and more special chakras..."

"Until the special chakra in our emotional stimulation brain reaches a limit, and eventually the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye will be opened..."

"Theoretically, the real reason for these eyes to open is not so-called pain and hatred, but because of emotions deeper than pain and hatred..."

"Maybe it's a little ridiculous to say..."

"But..."

"This sentiment will still be called by the world... Love. ”

"It's the first time I've heard of it..."

Itachi's brow furrowed, but it quickly eased.

This theory...

I've never really heard anyone talk about it...

I always thought that pain would open the kaleidoscope writing wheel...

However, Uchiha Sasuke's younger brother is obviously not out of nowhere, and his ability to easily crack the moon reading means that he must also have an extremely good kaleidoscope writing wheel, which also means that Sasuke's theory is actually correct.

"It's normal, too."

Sasuke Uchiha talked about the history of the Uchiha clan, and didn't seem to care at all about talking to his brother about it: "Because your thoughts and actions are very extreme, it's not surprising that we think that our power comes from pain..."

“……”

Uchiha Itachi had a vague delusion.

Now this black-haired boy standing in the moon reading space is obviously just his younger brother, but he talks and acts like an elder who knows all the truth...

Monthly reading space.

When the memory of the entire moon reading space was completely shattered, the spirit bodies of the two brothers appeared in an empty gray space.

"Let's get down to business!"

Uchiha Sasuke looked at his brother in front of him, his mood seemed to be extraordinarily stable, and he asked a strange question without changing his face: "Itachi, do you think I'm arrogant now?" ”

“……”

The Uchiha Itachi didn't know how to answer.

This kind of problem...

There's no need to ask, right?

Does Sasuke still feel that he is not arrogant enough?

However, Uchiha Sasuke's question doesn't seem to have anything to do with what they want to talk about, and even this younger brother is a little too calm, so calm that it makes Uchiha Itachi feel depressed, as if he was depressed before a storm...

Clearly...

Only 12 years old...

But like an adult...

Even like a high-powered adult.

"You do... It's changed a bit..."

The Uchiha Itachi frowned slightly, carefully considering his words, so as not to completely anger the younger brother who knew the truth.

"It's gone, isn't it?"

Uchiha Sasuke chuckled lightly, and did not shy away from mentioning his shortcomings: "After humans think they have gained great power, they often do not take the weak in their eyes, and they will act a little wantonly, and I am just one of them..."

"Yes..."

Itachi Uchiha nodded.

"But..."

As soon as Uchiha Sasuke's words changed, his eyes immediately turned cold, and he unceremoniously rebuked Uchiha Itachi: "You are more arrogant than me. ”

"Arrogant as you..."

"Self-righteousness decides the fate of all..."

Uchiha Sasuke looked at Uchiha Itachi, and his voice suddenly became high: "Do you think that if you get the Kaleidoscope Writing Wheel Eye, you have the fate to decide Konoha, the fate of Uchiha, Dad and Mom, and the fate of our family!" ”

"If I knew that you had exchanged the lives of my father, mother, and other elders of the clan, I would rather die with them that night!"

"That night..."

"You should kill me!"

"Instead of arrogantly deciding my fate for me!"

"Itachi Uchiha..."

Uchiha Sasuke's voice was a little sad and painful, and his face was a little hideous, as if he was desperately suppressing all his emotions: "At the most critical moment of the situation, at the cost of killing your parents and all the Uchiha, you went to bear the heinous blood debt and the painful torture caused by the murder of my relatives to let my younger brother survive..."

"I'm sorry, Sasuke..."

Uchiha Itachi looked at his younger brother in front of him, and a trace of pain slowly appeared in his eyes: "At that time, this was the only way to survive..."

"It's a road that is worse than death."

Uchiha Sasuke looked up at the blood moon in the Tsukiyo space, and his emotions slowly became stable: "Everyone in this world thinks that you deserve to die, but I can't think so, because of the bloody sacrifice you carried, I have been able to live until now..."

"What a disgusting world..."

Sasuke Uchiha once again expressed his perception of the world, and his mood seemed worse than ever: "This twisted world, let us two damn people live, but the unworthy people are dead..."

“……”

Uchiha Itachi couldn't speak.

Because he didn't know what to say to this younger brother, and he didn't even know what else he could say, so he could only quietly listen to the black-haired boy's words.

After a long time.

Uchiha Itachi looked at Uchiha Sasuke and asked a question, he was still concerned about Uchiha Sasuke's question: "Sasuke, did Danzo tell you all these things?" ”

"yes..."

Uchiha Sasuke nodded, and mercilessly poured dirty water on Shimura Danzo's head, but deliberately expressed his respect for Shimura Danzo in front of Uchiha Itachi: "All this was told to me by Danzo-sama himself, so I can know the truth of that night, and I can know everything you carry..."

“……”

Uchiha Itachi's eyebrows tightened, and his face was a little ugly.

The man...

Is there any conspiracy again?

"Maybe I should thank Danzo-sama..."

Uchiha Sasuke didn't look at Uchiha Itachi's face, but continued calmly: "Because of Lord Danzo, I can know the truth about the night of the extermination, and I can open the kaleidoscope writing wheel, instead of living in hatred that wants to kill you all the time..."

"Speaking of which..."

"I'm here to see you..."

"That's what Danzo-sama meant..."

Uchiha Sasuke looked at Uchiha Itachi, and his expression became serious, as if he was performing a very important task: "Danzo-sama is about to become the new Hokage of the village, and he wants to meet you before succeeding Hokage..."

"Danzo... Succeeding Hokage? ”

Itachi's face was even more ugly.

On the one hand, of course, it is Shimura Danzang's leakage, on the other hand, he is a little dissatisfied with Uchiha Sasuke's respect for Shimura Danzang, and Shimura Danzang's kind of person can still become a Hokage?

"Not bad."

Uchiha Sasuke nodded slightly, his eyes narrowed slightly: "It's just that there are many people in the village who oppose Danzo-sama succeeding the Hokage, and some people even propose to let Tsunade, one of the three ninjas, take over as the fifth Hokage..."

"So..."

"Danzo-sama needs to clean up some of the people who oppose him..."

"It's just that it's not convenient for our roots to be dispatched in this matter, and if it arouses the vigilance of others, it will cause trouble, and some people from outside the village are needed to clean up the opponents..."

“……”

Itachi Uchiha's eyes were strange.

It should be said that...

Is it worthy of Shimura Danzo?

It's the same way it used to be...

When Uchiha Itachi first came into contact with Shimura Danzo, he also happened to encounter the root ninja under Shimura Danzo secretly assassinating the ninja in the village, just because the ninja in that village brought bad news to Danzo...

Now that old guy actually wants to use himself to clean up the opposition in Konoha and even stretches his hand on his brother, ruining the plan he made years ago!

However...

I may have to succumb...

Uchiha Itachi's gaze looked at Sasuke Uchiha, who was still extremely respectful to Shimura Danzou even in front of him.

This younger brother has so much trust and respect for Shimura Danzou that he seems to have fallen into the trap of Shimura Danzo, and in order for this younger brother not to be in danger, he must continue to obey Shimura Danzo's orders...

"Time..."

"Let's set it for the day after tomorrow..."

Uchiha Sasuke talked nonsense very calmly, not caring at all if his lie would be exposed: "If everything is not unexpected, tomorrow Danzo-sama will be confirmed by the village higher-ups to succeed the Hokage, and Danzo-sama will rush to accept the canonization of the daimyo the day after tomorrow..."

No.

This is not nonsense.

Theoretically, this is something that has not yet happened in the future.

This is the future that Uchiha Sasuke himself has planned in advance, and the established fact that he has predicted in advance.

"At that time, Lord Tuanzang happened to be outside the village, so he wouldn't attract too many people's attention..."

Uchiha Sasuke looked at Uchiha Itachi, and under the banner of Shimura Danzo, he pulled up a rambling lie: "Danzo-sama wants to meet and talk to you, and then give you a list and ask you to help him clean up those who oppose him in the village..."

"I see."

Uchiha Itachi's mood also calmed down, and he nodded a little indifferently.

"Be serious, don't go wrong then..."

Uchiha Sasuke looked at Uchiha Itachi coldly, not at all like a younger brother who respected his brother, but like a loyal lackey under Shimura Danzo: "Uchiha Itachi, if you can't kill the people on the list, I have to do it..."

"If I make a move..."

"It might even be disposed of with you..."
