Hokage in the eyes

Chapter 20 Conversation
After Hitomi and Jiu returned to Konoha, they told what happened.But it was also judged as mission failure, which made Hitomi very dissatisfied.

After returning to Konoha, Ryohei also committed suicide because of self-blame.

After hearing the news of Ryohei Hisahisa's death, Hitomi was silent.And this team broke up unhappy before they had time to have dinner together...

This matter kept Hitomi locked at home for a long time, and Miqin couldn't persuade her.

And Itachi went to understand what happened, he understood Hitomi, the pain of losing his companion.Thinking about it, Itachi's eyes gradually turned blood-colored, and Gouyu slowly turned.

……

……

It has been a long time since that incident, Hitomi is already a Jōnin, but Itachi has been promoted to an elite Jōnin.

But Hitomi is still getting stronger, and the gap between the two has been gradually narrowed unknowingly. The only difference is that one is called Jōnin and the other is called Elite Jōnin.

While Hitomi was thinking outside the house, Itachi walked over to him.

Moonlight casts on Hitomi's face
Hitomi flicked her bangs, put her hands on her face, looked at Itachi who came forward and smiled slightly: "What's wrong? Itachi."

Itachi was silent for a moment, then said, "Hitomi, are you awake..."

Hitomi's smile remained unchanged, and said: "It seems that Itachi is also...experienced the pain of loss."

"what."

Itachi looked at the sky and said, "I also have partners who fought side by side, but they fought and died for my survival. So I understand how you feel."

"Call my sister."

Hitomi stood up and hugged Itachi, patted him on the back, and said, "Although Itachi is stronger than me, I am your older sister, always will be."

Hearing Hitomi's words, Itachi was touched, but he suppressed the trembling in his heart and smiled: "Ah... sister..."

Since becoming a ninja, they don't have much time to get along with each other, and they usually don't meet each other except when watching Sasuke.

But Itachi hasn't been touched a few times...

"My stupid little brother... I dared to call my sister's name just because I didn't meet him for a while...!"

Hitomi smiled mischievously, pushed Itachi away, touched Itachi's forehead to her and said, "Do you want to become stronger..."

"elder sister!"

Itachi rarely showed emotion, and said with a dissatisfied face: "Sister! You are here again!"

"Hahahaha!"

Hitomi laughed loudly, patted Itachi on the shoulder heavily, and said, "Itachi, you are still not immune hahahaha."

"..."

"Sister, I'm joining Anbe."

"Oh, wouldn't that be nice..."

Hitomi looked puzzledly at Itachi, but Itachi's expression was hesitant to speak.

Hitomi didn't care, and patted Itachi again and said, "Don't always think of doing everyone's business by yourself, I know what you are like since I was a child."

Itachi was silent.

Hitomi raised her hand, touched Itachi's head, and smiled: "No matter what you do, don't regret and turn back, follow your own path, and then become stronger, so that you have the ability to protect what you want to protect! If you regret it, I have regrets, I want to turn back, I’m tired, it’s okay, my sister will always be here waiting for you. Well, let’s go see Sasuke.”

"Sister..." Itachi's eyes flickered.

My sister is still the same as before, always giving people motivation...
