Hokage in the eyes

Chapter 111 Back

early morning
Everyone set foot on the way back to Konoha without eating breakfast.

Along the way, except for Naruto and Sai, everyone else was worried, especially Sakura.

Hitomi looked at Sakura who lowered her head and asked, "What's the matter? Didn't sleep well after finishing work? Sakura."

"what?"

Xiao Ying was taken aback for a moment, only to recover and smile awkwardly when she heard Hitomi calling her name: "No...it's nothing..."

Hitomi shifted his eyes to the pensive Yamato and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Yamato, what's wrong?"

Yamato looked back at Tong, hesitated to speak, then sighed, "It's nothing."

"It's fine."

Hitomi picked off a leaf casually, put it in her mouth and whistled leisurely.

Naruto was very happy, he really looked like a little sun when he looked left and right, Sai, as always, smiled with a fake face, but couldn't tell what was going on in his heart.

Naruto Office

Tsunade looked at Yamato in front of him and asked, "What's going on?"

Yamato looked at Hitomi who pushed the door and entered, indicating that it was not his problem.

Seeing Hitomi walking forward, Tsunade waved his hand to signal Yamato to back down.

"What do you mean?" Tsunade said solemnly.

"You don't have to worry about this, I've already taken precautions against Sasuke."

Hitomi lazily said, "That's it, the task of bringing Sasuke back will be revoked like this."

"Oh?"

Tsunade propped his chin with both hands, and said seriously: "Are you so confident?"

"That's my brother, don't worry about it. That's it, I'm going to see Kakashi."

Hitomi waved her hands and turned to leave Hokage's office.

Konoha Hospital
Kakashi was still in the hospital, so it was another day full of jokes and laughter.

But Yamato was thoughtful, and Sakura went home early.

Then Naruto followed Hitomi to the Namikaze Mansion, looking at the strange mansion for some reason, he felt a sense of intimacy.

After dinner, the next day came quickly.

Hitomi left without saying goodbye and returned to Itachi, telling Itachi how Sasuke is doing now.

Itachi listened to Hitomi's description, and a gentle smile appeared on his ice-like face.

Tong Geyou lay on the sofa and said disgustedly: "Sasuke has become like you... His words are not as cute as before..."

"Is there?" Itachi asked suspiciously.

Hitomi gave Itachi a disdainful look, and then said: "You don't know that he doesn't even call his sister... Speaking of which, he grew up in your arms like a mother..."

"..."

"I've seen Danzo." Hitomi tentatively said.

Itachi looked sideways slightly, waiting for Hitomi's next sentence.

"He wanted to kill me, and besides, he ordered to kill Sasuke."

"..."

Itachi turned and sat on the stool thinking.

Hitomi walked up to Itachi and flicked Itachi's forehead, dissatisfied: "Aren't you worried?"

Itachi raised his head slightly, and said, "Where is Orochimaru?"

"I already gave that to Sasuke, but it's really troublesome to seal this thing."

"Then I'm relieved, but you still have to be careful of Madara, he is not a kind person." Itachi said softly.

"I know."

After Hitomi finished speaking, she went to the window and looked at the sky on the window sill, and said softly: "This future is really confusing... But, I hope you will tell Sasuke personally."

Itachi shook his head when he heard the words, and said, "No need, let Sasuke find it by himself."

Tong heard the words and turned her head to laugh, "Why don't I take Sasuke down to Huang Quan to ask you?"

"This joke is not funny." Itachi said lightly.

Hitomi walked up to Itachi and patted Itachi's forehead again, and said with a smile, "Then you crawled out of the soil and said?"

"It's not the time yet, I'll tell you when the time comes." Itachi said softly.

Tong shook his head and said seriously: "I'm afraid that you won't say it until you die..."

"..."

"What? Am I right?" Hitomi narrowed her eyes slightly.

"I will." Itachi replied.

Hitomi raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, and said angrily: "Don't fool me, you're just fooling Sasuke with your words, I don't know what you look like?"

Itachi was silent for a moment, then said: "Since you have already got the answer, why are you asking me?"

"I just want to hear you admit it yourself."

"..."

"Aren't you afraid that Sasuke will be used after learning the truth? Or be blown up by hatred and blow up Konoha?" Hitomi asked.

"You are here, I am relieved."

"I don't want to be so tired."

"Death is my only escape."

Itachi said, got up and walked in front of the window, and said softly: "I have thought about your question many times, but only I can bear this ending."

"Oh?"

Hitomi raised her eyebrows and grabbed Itachi's collar and said angrily: "This is a stupid thing you did back then, and you wanted to throw it to me after you died? What Konoha's hero, who cares about this? Uchiha's glory? So what? I can’t control that much! It’s better to let my relatives kill each other than to let me die! I am not you! Sasuke is not you! Things will not go as smoothly as you think! Now that Sasuke has defected, then he How to return to Konoha?!"

Itachi looked at the angry pupil in front of him and slowly closed his eyes.

Hitomi looked at Itachi, who was pretending to be dead, feeling even more irritable, and asked: "These are all your plans, so the defection is also your plan? Or Sasuke's future is also your plan!? What will he do after revenge!? This Then he will definitely find a new target, so who is this target? Konoha! Not only will he not live well, but he will even hate the Konoha you love even more!"

"But I can't turn back!!!"

Itachi gritted his teeth and said, "The deal is done."

"……I"

Hitomi looked at Itachi's face full of pain, his expression gradually darkened, and he said bitterly: "...I'm sorry, Itachi..."

Itachi shook his head and said calmly, "You are not wrong, it was me..."

Hitomi was startled when he heard the words, then closed his eyes and said: "...I...understand... Itachi, I'm sorry to make you suffer...but I still hope that things will develop in a better way."

"...I have already anticipated the current situation, but... who can change it? How did we make a choice at that time? Zhishui's death, the choice of the people, why don't I want to change!"

Hitomi wiped away the tears from her eyes and said with a wry smile: "You are still so determined to go your own way, always putting things on someone's back..."

"As long as you and Sasuke are doing well, I don't care what the future holds! Even if Sasuke is in deep darkness, I believe Sasuke can come out."

"I respect you, then, so be it, at least I will give you a good time, but I will fish you out of the underworld sooner or later..." Tong smiled with tears.

Itachi looked at Hitomi and smiled, and said: "If one day you really fish me out of the underworld, then I will no longer be Itachi Uchiha, and just live as Itachi."

Hearing this, Tong wiped away her tears again and smiled innocently, "Then, it's settled."

"A word is settled..."

After speaking, Itachi smiled and turned to enter the bedroom.

in the bedroom

Lying on the bed and looking at the moonlight, Itachi murmured: "You know I'm lying to you, why did you make an appointment... hey..."

the other side

Hitomi held the scroll in her hand, with firm eyes, and murmured: "I know you lied to me, but this time, it's useless for you to lie to me..."

　I was persuaded by my teammates to come back and code.
