As the sun sets, the crimson glow of the sunset shines through the mountains and onto the streets of this small town on the edge of the Land of Demons, as if the whole world is immersed in the tranquility of the evening.

Itachi used his senses to keep an eye on the boy who was following him.

A trace of sadness appeared on his face.

To marry and have children.

How could such a thing happen to him? The sins he carries do not allow him to truly be an ordinary person.

As for the fact that Itachi is still alive, he already feels that this goes against the natural order.

He completely severed ties with Obito.

Itachi felt as if he had been abandoned by the entire ninja world, becoming a rootless duckweed.

No one will remember him.

Nobody cares about him.

Just like the stray dogs on the roadside.

Actually, it's like this now.

He was already very happy that someone could give him a little warmth. But if the other person knew what he had done in the past, would they still continue to be so open with him?

Any normal person would probably keep their distance from him, so avoiding any karmic entanglements is the best choice for him and for others.

The setting sun cast long shadows of the two of them.

The streets were sparsely populated.

The pale purple, eerie winds of the Demon Country Mountains, carrying mist, gradually merged with the darkness of the sky.

Itachi took a deep breath, a slight smile playing on his lips, and reached out to ruffle the boy's hair.

"Go back and tell your mom to thank her for her kind words, and I'll think about it some more!"

The boy pouted, "What's there to consider? Someone will cook for you, someone will warm your bed, someone will take care of your daily needs—what's wrong with that!"

"Very well!" Itachi said helplessly, "It's just that I'm not good enough!"

He is still alive.

It's just that the right opportunity hasn't arrived yet.

The boy was puzzled:

"What's wrong with you? You can take care of yourself even though you're blind. You're actually much better than many men in town who aren't blind but can't do anything!"

Itachi shook his head, then suddenly his expression hardened, and he turned his head to look in the direction of the town.

"What's wrong? The rain?" the boy asked, puzzled.

Itachi's expression changed drastically, and he reached out to block the boy named Ata behind him.

At the same time, countless whooshing sounds rang out as sharp shuriken and kunai pierced the sky, heading straight for the area where Itachi was.

"Rain!!!" Ah Tai's eyes widened, and he instinctively wanted to dodge backward.

Living on the outskirts of a small town, I've naturally witnessed what's known as ninja brawls.

The boy couldn't understand why anyone would attack a blind man who had never provoked anyone else.

Judging from the overwhelming barrage of kunai and shuriken, the person who made the move was incredibly powerful and arrogant!

Just after Ah Tai fell to the ground, she reached out to help the man her mother had taken a liking to.

But he found that his hand seemed to have grasped an old tree, and the tree did not move at all.

"Rain, please lie down!!"

Atai exclaimed in surprise.

Itachi remained unmoved. Although he no longer had the Sharingan, his chakra and senses were still intact. His strength had inevitably declined, but he was not someone that could be bullied by just anyone.

The dense array of kunai scattered across the sky may seem intimidating, but the throwing techniques are actually quite rudimentary. The aim is to increase the number of ninja tools thrown, thereby distributing the power of the tools evenly.

This results in the seemingly terrifying rain of kunai swords, but ultimately lacking staying power.

Even if a Jonin doesn't dodge, as long as his head isn't hit by kunai or shuriken, and his body is covered in these things, he won't die suddenly.

"..."

Itachi took a deep breath.

He had intended to stop taking action and killing, and only wanted to quietly retire and wait for the opportunity to die. However, fate did not go as he wished.

"rain!!!"

Seeing that the rain of ninja tools was about to fall, but Itachi remained unmoved, the boy exclaimed in surprise, mustered his courage, got up from the ground, and tried to tackle the dull-witted blind man.

But the next instant, the blind man stomped his right foot on the ground, sending countless pebbles flying from his feet.

Then, Itachi reached out and grabbed countless pebbles in his palm, which he casually tossed into the air.

A whooshing sound arose.

Even though it was just some pebbles in Itachi's hands, the speed at which they shot out was far more terrifying than a rain of ninja tools.

Soon, the boy, Ata, witnessed the rubble colliding with the ninja tools. Then, the first round of kunai and shuriken were hit by the rubble in the air, sparks flew, they were deflected and frozen in place. In an instant, the ninja tools behind them collided in the air.

ding ding ding-

Amidst the clanging of metal.

The rain of ninja tools malfunctioned right in the air, as if it were running incorrect code, directly causing the surprise attack with the throwing technique to fail.

Countless ninja tools fell in front of Itachi, with several kunai landing steadily beside him as if they had been drawn out of the map, but Itachi remained unmoved.

"!!!" The young boy, Ata, exclaimed in surprise upon seeing that Itachi was so strong, "Ame, you...you're a ninja too? You're so powerful!"

Itachi glanced at Ata and said calmly, "Hide behind me."

After speaking, Itachi casually waved his left hand in the direction of the town. Suddenly, two kunai flew straight into two alleys at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

These were ninja tools he had casually grabbed when the rain of ninja tools fell, and now he was returning them.

Small town.

alley.

In the dark corner, as the kunai rushed in, two muffled groans were heard as it tumbled from the roof to the ground.

It should be noted that Itachi and the boy were a kilometer away from the edge of the town.

The guy who ambushed Itachi clearly underestimated Itachi's throwing skills. His neck was pierced by a kunai that was invisible to the naked eye, and he lost his life.

The remaining ninjas, who were lying in ambush on the roof, watched their comrade die, but remained unmoved, their eyes all fixed on a figure on the building at the front.

The figure took a deep breath.

He immediately jumped off the building.

The remaining ninjas also jumped down, making a total of twenty people. Including the two who died, there were twenty-two in total.

After landing, the leader stared at Itachi and the boy ahead without any fear, and walked slowly towards them.

He wore a Ōtengu mask, tattered Konoha ninja armor, and a black cloak, making his attire seem somewhat incongruous.

"Who are you?"

As Itachi sensed the other party, he asked.

"Me?" The Great Tengu approached Itachi and the boy, calmly stating, "You don't know me."

"Then why did you attack me?"

Itachi said in a deep voice

The Great Tengu ninja chuckled, "It's not unusual for a ninja who wiped out his entire clan to die at the hands of someone else, is it? Right, Uchiha Itachi!"

Itachi remained silent.

Behind him, Ata stared wide-eyed at Itachi's back, muttering under his breath, "Uchiha Itachi, so, your name isn't Rain..."

Itachi took a deep breath and said coldly, "You can leave now. Don't ever appear in my life again, or you know what will happen!"

The Great Tengu ninja shrugged and said, "Do you still think of yourself as Itachi from Akatsuki? You've lost your Sharingan, just like a lion losing its claws and fangs."

Itachi said coldly, "Then... you can all stay here!"

The Great Tengu ninja suddenly took three steps back, shrugged, and spread his hands, saying, "Don't be in such a hurry. I haven't told you yet why we've come here."

Seeing that the weasel did not move.

The Great Tengu ninja breathed a slight sigh of relief, then said seriously, "I know you don't want to be a ninja anymore, but you still have to carry on your family line while you're alive."

We can make a deal.

We will not tell Konoha where you are. You don't want to be a ninja, and we will not interfere in your life. But we will provide you with women to have children. We will take half of the healthy children with us.

If you don't become a ninja, you won't have any way to make money. We can even give you a large sum of money to support you, all you have to do is organize the birthing of children for us!

If you refuse.

You should know the consequences. We made a very detailed plan before we came, even if you kill us all.

Your location will still be exposed.

Think about it carefully.

All you need to do is be comfortable; you don't need to worry about anything else.

As for your remaining children, we will not mistreat them. We will raise them to adulthood and train them to become ninjas. They can still bear the Uchiha surname!

This way, you can make up for the guilt you felt towards the Uchiha clan after their massacre. I believe you have no reason to refuse this deal.

"The Great Tengu Ninja said confidently."

After hearing these words...

Itachi wasn't angry. He calmly said, "The world of ninja has changed. There's no future in continuing to be a ninja. Even if you master the Sharingan bloodline limit, there's no way out for you."

The Great Tengu ninja said calmly, "That's not something you need to worry about. So, do you agree?"

Itachi shook his head: "Excuse me for being blunt, but you don't have the ability to control this power."

"In that case," the Great Tengu ninja sighed, then waved to his subordinates behind him.

A moment later, on the edge of the town, a woman with a pretty face and a curvaceous figure was bound and helped by two ninjas to Itachi and the boy.

The young girl, Ah Tai, looked terrified and cried out, "Mom!!!"

"Waaah..." The woman's mouth was bound with strips of cloth, and she could only let out pitiful whimpers.

Ata ran forward, wanting to save his mother, but Itachi reached out and blocked him from behind.

The Great Tengu Ninja said in a deep voice, "Agree to our conditions, and this woman will be yours. In addition, we will also give you a batch of healthy women."

If you disagree.

that……

Even if you want to kill us all, before that, we can kill this woman first. You already owe the Uchiha so much, how can you bear to wrong an ordinary person who has been good to you?

Itachi's face revealed murderous intent, and the aura emanating from his body had materialized that intent.

"Rain, save my mother, save my mother!" A-Tai looked up at Itachi, pleading, "She's my only remaining family member, Rain, please!"

A long silence followed.

Itachi slowly raised his head, facing the unknown ninja in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "Fine, I agree!"

The Great Tengu ninja immediately clapped and cheered:

"Very good. We have prepared a place for you to stay in the town, and the women are also ready. If you are not satisfied with them, you can tell us."

But this woman.

"Once you've completed our deal, we'll release her."

"..." Itachi's face turned ashen.

"Rain..." Ata gazed at the man beside him, then whispered, "Itachi..."

Itachi reached out and rubbed the boy's head. "It's alright. They won't touch your mother for now."

He had originally planned to pretend to agree, and once these guys released Ah Tai's mother, he would personally deal with them. But now it seemed he had to think of another way.

"We will not interfere in your life, and we hope you will abide by our agreement!"

With that, the Great Tengu ninja gave the order to retreat, but just then, a mocking voice came from the edge of the town, "Itachi, you actually agreed to this kind of deal? You've completely disgraced the Uchiha clan!"

Upon hearing this voice, Itachi trembled slightly. It was the voice that haunted his dreams and that he could recall at all times—it came from Sasuke!

at the same time.

The ninja wearing the Great Tengu mask turned his head to look in the direction from which the sound came, and his expression hardened beneath the mask.

The sound came from behind them.

Following behind was a handsome young man dressed in white. He stood tall and straight, with a straight ninja sword at his waist, and his walk seemed to carry a gentle breeze.

Uchiha Sasuke!

The Great Tengu ninja's expression changed drastically, but before he could react, Sasuke had already transformed into an arc of electricity, passing through the group of still bewildered ninjas with lightning speed, and arrived in front of Itachi.

Electro burst

Sasuke had already drawn his ninja sword, its cold edge drawing a smooth and elegant arc in the air before slashing down directly at Itachi's face without any mercy.

clang--

Before anyone knew it, Itachi had produced a kunai and held it horizontally above his head.

The kunai clashed with the ninja sword.

Sasuke's power actually surpassed Itachi's, and his ninja sword pressed the kunai down several centimeters.

"Heh..." Sasuke sneered, "Itachi, you've been lazy all these years!"

With that, his right foot kicked towards Itachi's chest, leaving the latter completely unable to react.

bang——

After a muffled thud, Itachi felt as if a boulder had struck his chest, his breath stopped, and he crashed heavily to the ground. Sasuke, now wielding his Three Tomoe, glanced at Itachi, who had been kicked away, and said coldly, "You're full of openings, you piece of trash!!"

"No...you...you can't hurt him!"

Atai spread his arms, blocking Itachi's path, and stared intently at Sasuke before him.

Sasuke merely glanced coldly at the boy, and his three-tomoe Sharingan was immediately reflected in the latter's mental world, directly stunning him and leaving him frozen in place, his body stiff.

Then, Sasuke passed by the boy, came to Itachi, slowly squatted down, and without any hesitation, drew his ninja sword and stabbed it into Itachi's arm.

"Have you ever imagined yourself dying by my hand, Itachi?!"

呲——

The sharp ninja sword pierced Itachi's right arm, pinning him to the ground. A sharp pain shot through him, but Itachi gritted his teeth and growled, "Good, very good!!"

He's lived this long just to wait for Sasuke to come and seek revenge.

In the entire ninja world, only Sasuke is worthy of killing him!

the other side.

Seeing that the bloodline limit copy device he had painstakingly found was about to be erased, the Great Tengu ninja immediately gave the order: "Take care of this guy!!"

"yes--"

Without hesitation, the ninjas drew their weapons and charged at Sasuke. (End of Chapter)
