Konoha: Start by unlocking the caged bird

Chapter 124: Uchiha Itachi, the Parricide (1W1)

Blood gushed out. Uchiha Shisui covered his eyes with one hand and looked at Uchiha Fugaku in front of him with the other eye tiredly. He unexpectedly found that the other party also had a one eye, which was gushing blood and tears at this moment.

Uchiha Fugaku's chuckle sent a chill down Uchiha Shisui's spine. He subconsciously drew his sword and exclaimed, "Impossible!?"

"Haha. Hahaha. Hahahaha!"

Uchiha Fugaku's smile gradually grew bigger. He covered his head with one hand, leaned his upper body back, and smiled more and more crazily: "What a terrifying power! Kotoamatsukami!"

"Very good. Once you have this, just point this eye at Hinata Yuzuru.

The temporary Hokage will abdicate and the real Fifth Hokage will take the throne! "

Uchiha Fugaku suddenly stood up, opened his arms, looked at the shocked Uchiha Shisui and laughed, "Go ahead and attack me! At this moment, the areas around the Uchiha clan are full of Anbu placed by the Fifth Hokage. As long as you attack me, they will come over to check the situation.

As long as he comes, I can use your power to make Hinata Yuzuru the most loyal supporter of my Uchiha clan!
Come!
Struggle to your heart’s content!

Shisui!

A fair suggestion is
I can wait for you to use Susanoo first!"

Uchiha Shisui slashed out with a sharp sword, but Uchiha Fugaku just dodged and then grabbed a tachi placed in the living room.

Uchiha Shisui did not pursue, but stood there, his body trembling slightly.

how can that be possible! ?

My other god.
failed!?

No.
Was it absorbed by his kaleidoscope?

Oops
Once the fighting gets too fierce, the Fifth Hokage will definitely come out to check and stop the fighting.

After that, he will be hit by Kotoamatsukami, who is in Uchiha Fugaku's sight at the moment.
What to do? What to do!?

No one knew the power of this technique better than Shisui. He clenched his silver teeth and a look of madness flashed in his eyes.

There is only one way to break the impasse.

Kill Uchiha Fugaku, or force him to use Kotoamatsukami against himself!

As long as I can take on Kotoamatsukami instead of Yuzuru, then with Yuzuru's strength, I can definitely do it.
Also, notify the Hokage as soon as possible and do not get close to the battlefield. You must not get close to the battlefield before Uchiha Fugaku uses his eye technique!

He suddenly jumped out of the living room, facing Uchiha Fugaku who looked confident, and quickly formed seals with both hands: "Fire Style! Dragon Fire Technique!"

A super long fire dragon spread away, Uchiha Fugaku just smiled coldly and stepped back for a moment, just when Shisui wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to leave in an instant.

"Fire Release: Phoenix Immortal Fire Technique!"

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

"Wind Escape·Big Breakthrough!"

Several ninjutsus came from the door together, and Uchiha Shisui's eyes shook violently. They were several unknown Uchiha clan members who were rushing to help because the clan leader was attacked.

Can I just open Susanoo?

No, if the Hokage is attracted here before the Anbu is informed of Kotoamatsukami's information,
His expression changed again and again, and finally, he chose to dodge again with instant form, but the large-scale fire escape made it extremely difficult for him to dodge. He was hit in many places on his body, burning and stinging.

But Shisui is worthy of being an elite ninja of ANBU, and he is also worthy of being called Shunshen Shisui. At this moment, figures in the air flicker frequently. For a moment, it seems as if there are more than a dozen Shisui appearing in the air.

The power of the Mangekyō Sharingan allowed him to use his other most powerful trump card at this moment, which was the quietest and most powerful one, the Illusion of Konoha, Kotoamatsukami!

Just by touching his single eye, the Uchiha tribesmen would fall into confusion, and they would raise their weapons to attack their own people. There was a moment of panic, but Uchiha Shisui's mind was spinning crazily, and he suddenly realized a fact.

He raised the corner of his mouth, looked at Uchiha Fugaku in the distance, and sneered: "So, after your Mangekyō absorbed my Kotoamatsukami, you can no longer release Susanoo or high-level ninjutsu?"

"In other words, you want to wait for me to reveal my weakness, use Susanoo, and create some noise?"

"Then, can you really withstand it if you can only dodge?"

After Uchiha Shisui finished speaking, Uchiha Fugaku's expression did not change at all. He still looked confident. While slowly retreating, he said softly, "Who knows? But isn't this enough?"

The moment he finished speaking, more Uchiha ninjas rushed over from behind. They were all elite members of the radical faction. Uchiha Shisui frequently activated Kotoamatsukami at this moment, and he even felt his vision beginning to blur due to using too much pupil power in a short period of time. He endured the discomfort, drew his katana, and roared forward.

Just get to that place.

Just kill Uchiha Fugaku.

Just let yourself bear the other gods in his eyes.

Yuzuru, you will definitely be able to personally deal with these traitors!
ah.
Quan, ferret.

You are right.

I.
What a stupid and weak guy.
Even using Kotoamatsukami would become a burden to others.

Uchiha Shisui gritted his teeth, and his body was pushed to the limit by him.

"Don't let me! Hokage-sama! Come closer to here!!!"

He let out a roar that resounded throughout the clan, hoping that the ANBU nearby who observed the commotion would notify Hinata Yuzuru in time.

Uchiha Fugaku waved his hand coldly: "Let Itachi block the streets, don't let the Anbu get close, kill Uchiha Shisui quickly, I want to meet Hinata Yuzuru in person!"

The Uchiha tribesmen swarmed in, and the elite ninjas controlled by Shisui's genjutsu, which could be used multiple times and consumed very little, but whose power also dropped off a cliff, gradually awakened.

Even though many elite jounin and chuunin had been chopped to the ground by their own people or killed by Shisui's sword at this moment, this could only make the Uchiha who were still hesitant completely fall into madness.

Uchiha Shisui was locked in a bitter fight, with the sound of swords clashing and screams ringing out. He struggled to move forward, but found that it seemed as if he would never be able to close the distance between him and Uchiha Fugaku.

The other party just looked at him calmly with the Mangekyō Sharingan, and spoke in a voice that was both regretful and indifferent, as if he was doomed to his fate.

"Shisui, what a pity.

If you understand me, it could be easier.
Don't worry, even if I become Hokage, Hinata Yuzuru can still be my think tank and give me advice.
Konoha will continue to be great.

just
Glory belongs to Uchiha!"

After Uchiha Fugaku finished speaking, he turned his head. At this moment, Uchiha Itachi was walking slowly from a distance. Behind him, Uchiha Sasuke was running towards the outside of the clan territory for some unknown reason.

"Itachi, have you blocked off the streets? Where did you ask Sasuke to go?"

He frowned.

Uchiha Itachi said calmly: "The streets have been completely blocked to ensure that the Anbu ninjas cannot get close to the clan's territory.

I ordered Sasuke to take refuge in the underground facility - it is the safest place."

Uchiha Fugaku seemed to be thinking about something, but the battle situation was intense at the moment. Shisui in the distance seemed to be shaky, but he was also very resilient. He was wounded several times, but he still kept killing towards him unyieldingly.

The family’s refuge facility was indeed right there.

Well, if they hide in the underground facility, Sasuke won't have to see all this.

Itachi stood quietly behind Uchiha Fugaku, watching Shisui being besieged. After a long while, he asked softly, "Father, is it really necessary to become Hokage?"

Uchiha Fugaku snorted: "Until now, what are you still hesitating about? Don't worry, I know that you and Hinata Yuzuru have a good relationship and will not hurt each other's lives. The power of other gods can only change others. Beliefs and some perceptions will not change other things.

Have you ever thought about it? After I become Hokage, what kind of glory will the Uchiha clan usher in? Under our rule, Konoha will once again stand at the top of the ninja world!

After that, Hinata Yuzuru will still be your friend, and so will we."

His voice suddenly stopped.

The trembling pupils were slightly downward.

All he could see was that the sharp blade of the sword had pierced his heart.

Slowly turning his head, Uchiha Fugaku was stunned, staring into Uchiha Itachi's pupils.

The three magatama in Uchiha Itachi's eyes turned crazily, and two lines of blood and tears flowed down.

"Father.
sorry."

His voice trembled.

At this moment, all the Uchiha people present were completely frozen in place.

"Chief?" someone murmured in disbelief.

"Ah!!" Uchiha Mikoto was awakened by the sound of fighting. After rushing out of the room, her legs went weak and she fell to the ground with a desperate scream.

"Brother Dad"

Sasuke, who had just turned back and ran forward at this moment, was in the distance. His pupils were shaking violently, his whole body was trembling, and he could only make barely audible sounds.

Uchiha Itachi just slowly drew out his katana under all the gazes.

Having lost his support, Uchiha Fugaku's knees softened and he knelt down on one knee. However, the powerful vitality of the ninja kept his consciousness awake, and his pupils were surging crazily, as if those kaleidoscopes wanted to save the person who would change everything. Tragedy, but the final result is that he can only stay calm at this moment.

Uchiha Fugaku held his heart for a long time and let out a sad laugh.

"That's right."

He turned his head shaky and looked at Uchiha Itachi, who was standing there, his eyes now distorted and transformed into kaleidoscope patterns.

He said nothing, but his tears were mixed with blood.

For a while.

I couldn't even feel the slightest bit of resentment.

Ah. Just now, he asked Sasuke to leave, not to let him take refuge, but to inform the Anbu.

Really. I was deceived by him.
If that's the case, the Fifth Hokage won't come.
As expected, my own eyes were of no use in the end.

I am such a useless person.
It was a complete and utter failure.
But after these thoughts flashed through his mind, the only scenes that Uchiha Fugaku could think of were the scenes of his time with Itachi as a child, his uneasiness and fear when he was brought to the battlefield by him, and his increasingly silent and mature appearance after he returned to Konoha.

Moving forward, what flashed in front of his eyes were everyone's smiling faces when Sasuke was born, and the scene of eating at the dining table with Mikoto, Sasuke, and Itachi.

When was the last time you all had dinner together, chatting and laughing?

Fugaku tried to remember.

Yes. Last month?

I can't remember clearly.
It should be, a few years ago.

ah.
I had almost forgotten what it was like when Itachi smiled.

And Sasuke
I'm really sorry for him.
He turned around blankly and saw that Uchiha Shisui in the distance was also stagnant in place, and then he lowered his eyes and showed a complicated smile.

"I'm sorry Itachi. I."

"It seems like I went the wrong way."

"I'm sorry. I forgot a lot of the most important things. Itachi, I'm sorry."

His mind was already a little dazed, and he fell weakly to the ground, turning his head and staring at Uchiha Itachi, then looking at Mikoto and Sasuke who were running from the distance. He summoned up the last of his strength and spoke a little louder, but still sounded very weak.

"Even without me, you are still a family. Don't ever forget this."

He stretched out his hand, and Itachi fell to his knees helplessly, holding his hand tightly with trembling hands: "I'm sorry, father, I'm sorry."

"Why. Why is this happening!!!"

Uchiha Sasuke roared in disbelief and punched Uchiha Itachi in the side of the face. He had never thought in his life that he would attack his own brother, but at this moment, his mind went blank.

"Sasuke."

Uchiha Fugaku's voice made Sasuke subconsciously turn his head to look.

He cried loudly, and put his hands tightly over his father's chest: "I'll go find a doctor, Dad, no! I don't want to"

"I'm really sorry for scolding you in the study last time.
Together with Itachi, take good care of mom.

please.
Don't be like me.
Blinded by those false things.
Can't see the most important thing."

As the last words fell, an angry shout was heard in the distance.

"What are you waiting for!? Why don't you drive out these traitors who killed the clan leader!?"

Elder Uchiha arrived late. He looked at Uchiha Fugaku, who was now dying, or in other words, was almost dead, with an incredible look on his face, and roared in rage.

Uchiha Fugaku's breathing had gradually become weak and disappeared, and there was a strange, gurgling, hoarse sound in his throat, but until now, he turned his head and looked at the Uchiha elder in the distance, Uchiha En.

The moment the other person looked at him, the kaleidoscope-shaped pupils in Uchiha Fugaku's eyes began to spin violently. A huge pupil power surged, and in an instant, the technique was activated.

Uchiha En's originally angry and incredible shouts stopped. The next moment, he seemed to have turned into a robot, raising his hands expressionlessly: "Stop!"

The rest of the Uchiha people were still a little confused, but the next moment, the Uchiha flames suddenly burst out, and the old body seemed to be transformed into a beast, raising the butcher knife high towards the tribesmen who originally obeyed his orders.

"Eliminate the radicals, protect the Uchiha, protect Fugaku's family."

He murmured, without any emotion, and killed his own people.

The Uchiha clansmen fell into complete madness.

They had absolutely no idea how to deal with the current situation - the patriarch was dead, and the great elder who had originally held high the banner and was almost the de facto leader of the radical faction had also gone crazy and attacked his own people. Now, what should they do?
what to do! ?

Let's all die!
Die!

Blood is gushing out, this is hell.

And in hell.

Uchiha Mikoto ran like crazy from the battlefield. The passing Uchiha people instinctively avoided her for a moment, allowing her to run to Uchiha Fugaku and hugged him tightly, who was now blind. Body.

Uchiha Fugaku slowly raised his hand, reached towards his eyes, exerted force with his fingers, and took out the two eyeballs.

In the astonished eyes of all those who were watching him, there were only two holes on his face, with two lines of blood and tears slowly flowing out. The corners of his mouth only revealed a self-deprecating and helpless apologetic smile. His eyeless face looked in the direction of Mikoto who was running towards him with tears and sobbing, and his lips moved.

"Weasel"

"My eyes. Don't waste it. This is a request."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was completely lifeless, and his hands holding the two eyeballs fell to the ground, and his palms were reaching out to Uchiha Itachi, who was standing there like a fool.

Uchiha Itachi remained motionless as he was knocked down by Sasuke's punch, and tears mixed with blood were still flowing in his eyes.

Uchiha Sasuke was completely stunned on the spot. He never expected that he, Naruto, Hinata, and Kakashi-sensei were still helping the villagers find cats on the street this morning.

Just like in the past, living a normal, yet reassuring daily life.

When I returned home at night, I had to face such a tragedy.

My brother killed my father with his own hands.

And the Uchiha clansmen were killing each other.

Shisui in the distance was also forced to be involved in the battlefield at this moment. He already knew his choice. Now, this group of crazy Uchiha people can no longer go back to the past.

Shisui and the Uchiha elders who were controlled by other gods fought fiercely with the ninjas.

Some Uchiha people have already given up the fight. They watched all this in despair, knowing full well that the Uchiha's ambition had come to an end. Some chose to pull out their kunai and commit suicide, some chose to give up resistance and stay where they were as if accepting their fate, and some went completely crazy.

One of the craziest Uchiha Jonins roared in despair: "Why did it end here? Why!?"

He roared angrily, and suddenly formed a seal, and a huge, almost beyond normal super fire dragon appeared in the air. This blow drained all his own chakra, and it was a suicidal attack.

The targets of this attack were not others, but Uchiha Itachi, Sasuke, and Mikoto, who were crying and surrounding Uchiha Fugaku's body.

Uchiha Shisui suddenly teleported, and the moment he arrived in front of the three of them, he let out a groan of suppressed pain.

The next moment, a huge green giant appeared out of thin air, including Shisui and Uchiha Itachi. However, the moment it appeared, it punched several radical Uchiha who were still resisting stubbornly to death.

Uchiha Shisui stood in Susanoo, and the tears that had been held back for a long time finally flowed slowly when the Uchiha people in front of him gave up resistance.

Elder Uchiha stopped moving, still speaking slightly numbly and mechanically: “The radical elements have been eradicated, and the remaining mentally unstable ones should be educated and reformed.

Without the clan members, there is no way to protect Uchiha."

He lowered his head, his body shaking, but his eyes were still dull. After a while, he regained his normal posture. But at this moment, even though his eyes were clear, he could not see the madness from before. He just looked at the tragic situation in his family with a helpless and silent attitude.

Uchiha Shisui looked at the clan land littered with corpses and the devastated buildings, and powerlessly released the state of Susanoo.

Turning his head, Uchiha Shisui only saw Uchiha Mikoto holding Uchiha Fugaku's body tightly, and holding Sasuke tightly with the other hand, while Itachi stayed aside like an outsider, only the tears had been washed away. Blood stains slid down the blood stains on his face.

His tear stains seemed to become deeper at this moment. When the battle was over, he stood up slowly, as if he wanted to reach out to touch his brother and mother, but he hesitated for a moment, retracted his hand, and picked up the Uchiha With the two eyeballs in Fugaku's hand, he stepped forward and wanted to leave.

Uchiha Mikoto raised her head at this moment: "Itachi, don't go."

Uchiha Itachi remained silent, his teeth almost biting a piece of lip flesh in his tightly pursed lips.

"Mother."

His voice was hoarse before he could say anything.

"I'm sorry, Itachi. It's my fault that I couldn't make him stop. It's my fault."

Uchiha Mikoto cried, reaching out to grab Uchiha Itachi's clothes, but Itachi stayed there at a loss, letting Mikoto hold her tightly by his clothes.

At this moment, Sasuke could only cry helplessly and confusedly.

In his eye sockets, the two magatama Sharingan slowly turned and then disappeared, but Sasuke had no mind to think about what changes had taken place in his eyes.

At this moment, he felt that his brain was still in chaos.

Itachi. Dad, Mom, Family Village
One after another, puzzled and confused thoughts emerged in his mind. When he opened his eyes, his pupil power fluctuated greatly. Coupled with Sasuke's excessive sadness for a moment, he shook his body and fainted.

Among the Uchiha clan, the sounds of fighting gradually stopped.

But the crying sound gradually became louder.

Many Uchiha clan members did not dare to get close before because of the aftermath of the battle, but now they dared to get closer to see what was happening.

However, as soon as the group of tribesmen approached, they saw corpses and blood all over the ground.

For a while, the roars and cries of grief for relatives and friends were endless. In this bloody night, the curtain of ambition was about to be opened, and it hastily and suddenly drew the tragic finale. Uchiha Itachi looked around quietly with lifeless eyes. After a long time, he lowered his eyelids, and when he opened them again, he shook his body and took firm steps.

"Don't go Itachi." Mikoto's voice had become hoarse, but Itachi still stood up, turned his head away, not daring to look at her, and whispered: "I must report the details of this incident to the Hokage as soon as possible, and I must also explain on behalf of the Uchiha clan.

The Uchiha clan also needs someone to appease them."

Itachi looked around calmly, and finally, his sight fixed on Shisui, who was standing in the distance with wounds all over his body and in a dishevel, staring at him in silence.

The evening breeze blew gently, and the two people's black hair swayed gently. The gentle moonlight illuminated the two people covered in blood. The two pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan in their eyes, which could not be hidden because of the excitement, illuminated each other's figures.

The night breeze that used to be filled with the scent of earth now only had a sickening, heavy smell of blood. Behind Shisui were corpses of Uchiha clan members scattered all over the ground, and behind Itachi was the lifeless body of Uchiha Fugaku.

Everyone's body was covered with the blood of their loved ones.

Itachi stared at Shisui in silence.

The two of them didn't say anything, and they didn't make any moves. It was just that the two pairs of eyes full of exhaustion and silence lowered their eyes in unison, both of them filled with confusion and pain that they didn't know who to tell.

This world is always so cruel, and it gives cruel trials to gentle people.

Maybe I should tell Yuzuru all this earlier, maybe I should make a decision earlier, maybe
but.
Itachi quietly watched everything happening around him. His hands and feet, which had been numb and cold, finally regained consciousness over time.

He took a light step and broke free from his mother's fingers.

The Uchiha had already started down the wrong path.

Someone has to fix all this personally.

but me
Obligation.

Itachi didn't dare to look at his mother's face, but repeated in a low, hoarse voice: "I'm sorry, Mom."

He walked out unsteadily.

Shisui moved belatedly, and subconsciously sped up his pace, but his body, which had now been exhausted, stumbled and was almost tripped by the corpse of someone who had been knocked there.

He stepped over the corpse, not wanting to look into the other person's dead eyes. He just said a hasty and low apology, and chased after Uchiha Itachi.

Uchiha Itachi just said in a voice so calm that Shisui couldn't understand, "The people of the Uchiha clan are left to you to comfort.

With Elder Yan here, this matter won't be difficult.

please. "

Shisui nodded subconsciously and stopped. He was full of thoughts and wanted to say something, but when he really opened his mouth, he found that Itachi had already walked away.

His figure disappeared behind the family wall, and the night swallowed up his back.

Shisui's expression was dull in the family, and he cooperated with the elder Uchiha En who was handling the 'future affairs' in an orderly manner at the moment. Looking at the other party's indifferent and calm look, he once again deeply felt the power of his own eyes.

If it were earlier.
If you were more decisive.
If he had attacked Fugaku clan leader with Kotoamatsukami before he found out, instead of relying on luck and trying to persuade him to change his mind at the last minute,
Perhaps, Itachi would not have to do these things, and I could bear all the sins alone.
Shisui clenched his fists and tears fell uncontrollably. Under the incomprehensible gazes of others, he turned his back, covered his face with one hand, and smashed the wall with the other hand in pain and anger, suddenly crying loudly.

Sorry, Itachi.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Not long after.

Outside the family, intermittent sounds of fighting were also heard.

The Anbu and other members of the guard team quickly carried some of the Uchiha corpses back to the Uchiha clan's territory with expressions of grief and shock.

Some of the Uchiha people who were still able to cheer up now had numbness on their faces.

There was no sign of pain on the faces of these Uchiha people who were sent back. In fact, most of them did not even have a wound on their bodies, and they all had happy smiles that made people feel a little creepy.

But
They are really all corpses.

Finally, some Uchiha people couldn't bear it anymore and cried and asked the ninjas who returned the bodies: "Why, why did they die?"

"It was the decision made by the head of the Security Department, Lord Uchiha Itachi. The charges are treason and village crimes. Because the evidence is irrefutable and the danger is extremely high, there is no need to hand him over to the torture department for interrogation."

When a member of the Hyuga clan who worked in the security department stated the reason with regret and empathy, the Uchiha fell into silence again.

They cried silently and collected the corpses.

Soon, all the Uchiha people except for some of the guards were turned into corpses and sent back to the clan.

Many Uchihas who now serve in the Roots were turned into corpses and sent back to their clan.

The original open space in front of the ancestral hall has been occupied by dense white cloth.

One corpse after another was wrapped in white cloth and placed temporarily in front of the Uchiha clan's ancestral hall.

The pale moonlight was shrouded by a drifting dark cloud.

In the moonlight that appears and disappears from time to time.

Uchiha Itachi stepped into the Hokage Building with difficulty.

Amid a complex mix of weird, fearful, respectful and silent gazes.

I pressed the button to go up to the third floor.

He lowered his head in the elevator without saying a word. He saw some dark brown footprints in the clean elevator. He expressionlessly took out the half-red handkerchief in his arms and used the clean end to Wipe it gently, and then wipe your shoes clean again.

This is the new office building that Yuzuru has been dreaming about for a long time and has just been built.

It's not good if you step on it and it's dirty.

Itachi, who raised his head when the elevator door opened, stopped in place as he originally wanted to step out of the elevator.

Hinata Yuzuru was standing quietly in front of the elevator door.

Neither of them said anything.

Until Itachi lowered his head and said: "I'm sorry"

Hinata Yuzuru said nothing, but gently stretched out his hand and pressed it on his shoulder, applying a little force, and then smiled apologetically, as if he was a little guilty and wanted to say something but stopped: "It's my fault."

He left the elevator with Itachi in tow.

Make your way through the winding clean corridors.

Push open the brand new heavy wooden door.

The two entered the Hokage's office one after the other.

At this moment, there is no one in the office.

Hinata Kaoru had already gone to the streets to organize and calm down some of the frightened people and ninjas, and to clean up the traces.

A few insiders, such as the elite ninjas of the Anbu, the ninjas of the root, and some ninjas of the guard, were also issued a silence order.

The truth of this matter will be sealed.

No one died in the Uchiha clan's 'infighting', it was just that the 'friendly' sparring was not controlled well.

But because the impact was too great, some fines had to be paid and a notice of criticism was issued, but that was all.

Uchiha Fugaku will 'die of illness', and some Uchiha ninjas will gradually 'sacrifice themselves in the line of duty' on the list of Konoha's sacrificed ninjas.

There were no rebels, and there had never been any Uchiha clan attempting to "rebel".

Wait until the night passes and the sun rises in the east.

There won't be any changes in Konoha.

But the Uchiha people who stay will gradually and truly integrate into the village of Konoha.

This is Yuzuru Hyuga's reward to Itachi and Shisui, and his compensation to the Uchiha clan.

Itachi was pressed on the sofa by Hinata Yuzuru.

Although he was somewhat resistant, he could not truly resist Hinata Yuzuru, so he could only silently take off his coat and sit down holding the coat with the Uchiha clan emblem and Konoha logo painted on it.

Hinata Yuzuru opened the military line, took out a bottle of iced orange juice, opened it and put it on the table. He himself also sat on the sofa, and together with him, he stared blankly at Konoha outside the floor-to-ceiling window not far away.

half an hour.

It was Uchiha Itachi who spoke first.

His eyes were tired and silent as he stared out the French window. The village was brightly lit because of the sudden commotion. He whispered in an inaudible voice, "How beautiful."

"Yeah." Hinata Yuzuru agreed softly.

Neither of them wanted to talk about tonight.

Hinata Yuzuru knew very well why the matter had ended up like this. He was not surprised, but he felt a little guilty.

Itachi chose to do it himself to stop it all. The most important reason was not that he really believed that he had to do it himself to prevent future troubles.

It was for Konoha, and also for him.

Uchiha Itachi did not want the people who would bear the responsibility of killing to be the ninjas of Konoha, and he did not want the fire of hatred to spread to Hyuga Yuzuru, the Hokage.

His act of parricide.

Appalling.

It is absolutely an extremely sinful thing that no one can understand.

But because of this, he also bore the hatred of all the Uchiha people.

Some Uchiha people would hate him for this, some would alienate him because they didn't understand him, and some would be ashamed of him because of his disloyalty and unfilial piety - but all of this ended with him.

The Uchiha people today cannot blame all this on Konoha's injustice.

Even though there are corpses of Uchiha people everywhere now, no one will hate him as the Fifth Hokage. After all, this is a power struggle and killing within the Uchiha.

If nothing unexpected happens, Uchiha Itachi will go so far as to change the ancestral system and completely change most of the Uchiha clan's long-standing customs, just like other families, so that the Uchiha people will be completely synchronized with other families in Konoha.

The Uchiha people were severely injured. The only two strongest people left at this moment were Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui. Both of them were die-hard Hokage loyalists. If they had to choose the clan leader again, they would have to choose between the two and no one else would be chosen.

But, if it is a choice between the two, Uchiha Itachi will probably never be able to become the patriarch of the Uchiha clan in this lifetime.

And when Shisui took office.

He will quietly integrate Hyuga Yuzuru's will of fire into the family.

Over time, Uchiha will be able to fully integrate into the village.

but.
Uchiha Itachi will always become an unforgivable betrayer in the eyes of many people in the family.

I am afraid that this hatred can never be resolved or forgiven.

And he did indeed betray his family - it is still unknown whether his mother Uchiha Mikoto or his brother Uchiha Sasuke will still regard him as a relative.

Itachi Uchiha killed more than just his father.

At the same time, he also personally killed Uchiha Itachi, a member of the Uchiha clan.

The two of them looked out the floor-to-ceiling window quietly.

Until the village of Konoha returned to peace.

The bright lights went out one by one again.

The moonlight passed through the dark clouds and shone on the village again, reflecting a soft and sacred light fluorescence.

"Let Kai handle the work of the police department. He is a fair man, a true man with the will of fire, and he treats everyone equally."

Hinata Yuzuru's soft words only made Itachi, who was somewhat fascinated by the scenery outside the window, nod slightly.

"The root, you will take over."

Hinata Yuzuru said softly, looking out the window with him.

“Wherever the fire shines, Konoha will live forever.

And where there is light, there will be shadows.

Although I had previously streamlined the Root Department into an intelligence department with only intelligence investigation powers.

But after you take office, you will still have the power of law enforcement and investigation as before.

Itachi, now that you have decided to escape into the darkness, don't forget where our path leads to."

Uchiha Itachi still just nodded.

Hinata Yuzuru raised his head and looked at the ceiling for a long time, but said: "But before that, I have to give you a mandatory vacation."

"Mandatory vacation?"

Itachi looked at him blankly.

"In the next month, I forbid you to get involved in anything related to the family or Konoha.

Let's take Sasuke and Mrs. Mikoto for a walk outside the village."

His suggestion made Itachi fall into silence.

Hinata Yuzuru did not give him a chance to refuse, and simply said: "Everything that happened today was done by you under the order of the Hokage."

Uchiha Itachi wanted to refute, but Hinata Yuzuru just stared at him with a look that could not be rejected: "If you can't make Sasuke and Mrs. Mikoto understand everything you have done - I will never allow it. You will lose your life because of me."

".Is this what they call, the shadow takes the responsibility, the shadow takes the responsibility? Sorry, I didn't give you a chance this time."

Itachi's voice, although hoarse, he tried his best to tease him in a light-hearted and teasing voice.

Hinata Yuzuru looked disappointed.

"sorry."

He knew it, and so did Itachi.

The reason why Hyuga Yuzuru has repeatedly not made any reaction to the Uchiha clan is probably to see how many people in the Uchiha clan can be trusted.

And the people to be 'taken a look' naturally included Itachi and Shisui.

For sanity's sake, this is a good choice.

But out of emotion.

He felt ashamed of the relationship they had with each other.

Itachi just looked at him, and after a while, he lowered his head and laughed dumbly: "I don't mean to blame you.

I just want to see what the future you are talking about is like.

The older you get, the more emotional you seem to be. Compared with ten years ago, you are more suitable for wearing those glasses now. "

He hit the nail on the head about Hinata Yuzuru's changes, but in his words, there was only an indescribable sense of relief and joy.

This was the first time that Itachi felt different and more real emotions from Hinata Yuzuru than before.

That's why.

Itachi reached out, picked up the iced juice, drank it gently, let out a low sigh, then stood up, took one last look out the window, and stood up straight.

"Lord Godaime
结弦
Please let me see it with my own eyes.
The future in your mouth.

If I could really live in such a world, even for just a moment.

I will do it willingly."

He turned his head and bowed lightly to Hinata Yuzuru who was sitting on the sofa.

“The vacation starts today.”

After Hinata Yuzuru nodded, he turned and left.

The tall figure, which had now become identical to Hinata Yuzuru, disappeared with a slight sound of the wooden door.

Hinata Yuzuru looked out the window.

Shadow will bear it.

The shadow comes to carry.

Deep in his heart, he repeated eight words with some self-deprecation.

On the desk, the word "fire" on the bamboo hat shines brightly in the moonlight.

This was the first time that Hinata Yuzuru felt so clearly the weight of the so-called Hokage pressing on his shoulders.

Yes.

Having already made such a determination, why should I care about being betrayed?

Why bother wondering whether other people’s feelings towards me are real?
He had hesitated again and again whether to take action himself and solve the problems within Uchiha first, but in the end he still delayed it until now.

In the end, from the perspective of the Hokage and the village, his decision was undoubtedly the right choice.

But he was not happy.

But the reason for becoming Hokage, the reason for sitting in this office, everything you do, isn't it all to make yourself feel better?

It would be good to change this village.

Change the world
Reflecting on this matter now, I can see with my own eyes that I am often indecisive when making decisions.
The third generation is actually myself! ?

Hinata Yuzuru also laughed in silence.

He stood up, picked up his hat, examined it quietly for a moment, put it on his head, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

From today
Shadow will bear it!

Shadow comes to carry it!

Let the shadow change everything!
