[Naruto·Itachi BG] Reverse Black and White II

Today's dinner was delivered extra early by the kitchen.

When Sasuke returned to the room after finishing today's training, dinner was already on his table, although today, he came back earlier than ever.

Now, he doesn't have too many requirements for food and drink. For him, eating is just to ensure that he takes in enough energy to support high-intensity training every day. But every time the food was delivered from the kitchen, he would eat it cleanly, not because he "liked it", but just because he was "used to it". A "habit" that has been nagged by one person for the past five years.

Today's dinner includes the tomato beef brisket as usual.

When Orochimaru first came here, this dish did not become exclusive to him. Until a month ago, I happened to make this dish in the kitchen. As usual, he pretended to be fine and took a bite, but was a little disappointed because the taste was not what he had imagined.

This was the only time he didn't eat the food. However, when the handyman came to collect the dishes, he pointed at the tomato beef brisket with almost no chopsticks and ordered that he liked this dish very much and asked the kitchen to make it every day.

Is it commemoration, vigilance, resentment, or some other reason? He no longer wants to delve into it.

The person he once depended on for life, those five years of accumulation of lies wrapped in honey and filled with poison...

He didn't dare to look back or ask. All he could do was seal all the memories related to her in the deepest part of his mind.

It doesn't matter, even if she has been lying to him all this time...

Don't care, nothing is more important than gaining strength...

As a result, he devoted himself even more desperately to the hellish special training given to him by Orochimaru.

It took a lot less time to complete that technique than expected. Sasuke returned to the room and saw the dinner delivered. He opened the lid of the lunch box and stared at it involuntarily.

Today's tomato beef brisket seems a little different from before. The meat pieces are cut extremely squarely, with a beautiful combination of fat and lean. The tomatoes are regular in shape, ripe but not rotten, and the juice is just right and thick. With the familiar knife skills and plate presentation, Sasuke picked up a piece of tomato with his chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth almost without thinking.

The half-moon-shaped tomato completely absorbs the meaty juice from the stewed beef brisket, and uses its unique fruit acid to neutralize the greasiness of the fattened beef, leaving only a refreshing aftertaste after deep chewing. The sweet and sour taste boiled alternately in his mouth, causing his eyes to feel a little sour.

The taste buds touched brought back memories that he had sealed in the deepest part of his mind and did not want to face. Without thinking, he slammed the door and rushed out, heading straight to the kitchen.

"Where is she? Where is the person who makes tomato beef?!"

Everyone in the kitchen looked at Sasuke who suddenly opened the door and looked at each other, not knowing what he wanted.

"Are you talking about the Gojo girl?" Sister-in-law Takeda reacted first and replied tremblingly, "She, she went to deliver food to Area B..."

"Area B?" After hearing this, Sasuke went to the place indicated by everyone without looking back.

"...I knew something bad was going to happen! Gojo has been silent for more than a month, but today he wants to be in the limelight..."

The chatter in the kitchen reached his ears and gradually drifted away. Sasuke gritted his teeth in hatred.

Very good, it’s been more than a month, right? I would rather huddle in the kitchen and be a cook who is surrounded by the smoke from the stove all day long than come to him to explain clearly, Uchiha Fenglan, that's fine.

He suddenly remembered the scene when he learned that Feng Lan had left Konoha——

"Uchiha Fenglan has defected."

At that time, he was carefully maintaining his Kusanagi sword. The back of the sword was resting on the creases of the sword paper and he was slowly scratching it from the root to the tip of the blade in one go, absorbing the excess oil bit by bit. After being wiped, the blade was as shiny as new, and the light could be used to identify people. He looked slightly sideways, and through the reflection on the blade, he could see Orochimaru standing behind him with his hands folded.

"Do you know why she defected?" Orochimaru's unhurried hiss came again.

He didn't care.

Unlike him, a lone avenger, Uchiha Fenglan is Konoha's mascot. He can get along with everyone and get along with everyone wherever he goes.

Defect?

Oh, how is it possible?

He couldn't imagine what his silly sweet sister would do to be labeled a "defection" by Konoha. Could it be that he sneaked out of Konoha to buy some out-of-print indescribable books and got lost?

Hard, hard, hard fist.

If this was really the reason, he wouldn't mind cleaning up the family of the Uchiha family's ancestors and removing this shameful and unscrupulous descendant from the family tree.

Seeing Sasuke's unconcerned look, Orochimaru knew that he knew very little about his secretive sister.

Things seemed to be a lot more interesting than he expected...

"Ha," Orochimaru chuckled with ulterior motives. He did not continue the topic directly, but asked Sasuke, "Sasuke, do you know Konoha's "Anbu Training Department"? It has a name that is more commonly known to the public: "root". "

Sasuke's hand wiping the Kusanagi sword paused for a moment, and then replied casually: "Well, I heard something... but wasn't the "Gen" department disbanded during the Third Hokage period? "

"Disbanded? Haha..." Orochimaru chuckled sinisterly, and analyzed with him, "The leader of the Roots, Shimura Danzo, has been fighting with the Sandaime his whole life just to become the Hokage. But he was unlucky and missed this position every time. How could such a person give up the power in his hands that could rival the Hokage ANBU? The disbandment was just a matter of breaking it into parts and hiding all the apparent power of the "roots" in order to avoid being traced by Sarutobi-sensei. Now that the third generation of the dead Tsunade has become the fifth generation of Hokage, the only person who can restrain Danzo is gone, and the "root" has naturally resurrected and become active. "

Sasuke said in his heart, this is not all because of you. But he still had the usual indifference on his face: "Why are you telling me this? I'm not interested in the messy struggles at the top of Konoha."

Orochimaru secretly lamented that Sasuke was still too immature, and said: "The reason why I tell you this is because the "root" is related to Uchiha Fenglan's defection. "

Sasuke turned around suddenly, his eyes as sharp as a knife, gouging Orochimaru's face.

Sasuke's reaction was as expected by Orochimaru. He was in a very good mood, and his hoarse and feminine voice also brought a little joy: "Uchiha Fenglan led the rebellion of the Hyuga branch against the clan, and used it as a Taking the opportunity, he single-handedly attacked the headquarters of Konoha's "Gen", causing "Gen" to suffer heavy casualties and lose nearly half of its combat power. "

Sasuke finally couldn't help it, stood up suddenly, and asked loudly: "What did you say? How is this possible?!"

"I know you don't believe it. I was also surprised when I first got the news. After all, that Uchiha Fenglan, your dear sister, is the famous crane tail of Konoha! Who would have thought that she would do this? Such an earth-shattering event?" Seeing Sasuke's excitement, Orochimaru became even more interested. He said vividly, "I planted a lot of informants in the "roots", but unfortunately, they didn't lose their lives in that turmoil. Just happened to be out on a mission. Therefore, I don’t have detailed information about what happened that day...but the only thing that can be confirmed is that the bloodbath of the "root" was indeed done by Uchiha Fenglan alone. After that, she fled Konoha..."

"With a single combat power that is enough to match the "Gen", even the Uchiha clan back then couldn't stop her, right? do you think so? "

Sasuke heard the sinister implications in Orochimaru's words clearly.

The Kusanagi sword was held tightly in his hand, the handle was held too tightly, and the blade shook with a dazzling cold light.

As if he didn't notice Sasuke's excitement, Orochimaru continued to add fuel to the fire, hypocritically comforting him: "However, you don't have to be upset, after all, even I looked away and easily believed her superficial frivolity and Stupid, I never thought that it was a carefully disguised appearance to hide her true strength and purpose..."

"...Since she has left Konoha, she should come to find you, her only brother, right?" Orochimaru pretended to be kind, "Ah, I forgot, she might also go to Itachi. After all, he is too Her living relatives..."

The memory ended abruptly at the moment he drew his sword and chopped off the wooden table.

Sasuke hurriedly ran down the deep and long corridor, and the impulses that he had deliberately ignored and suppressed jumped out one after another.

He wanted to ask clearly, he wanted to understand: Why, why did she lie to him? Why should she hide it from him? How many things did he not know? Did she and Itachi work together to do what happened that night?

why why? ! ! !

The guards in Area B were also quite surprised to see Sasuke. They didn't know why Orochimaru's new favorite, who was innocent and highly regarded, set foot here.

"The cook who delivers the food in the kitchen?" The team leader who was asked was a little puzzled, "Huh? Wasn't she still here just now? Why did she disappear in the blink of an eye? The cart is still here!"

Why bother asking? Naturally, he took advantage of the opportunity of delivering food and ran away!

Sasuke punched the wall bitterly, turned around and ran towards the exit of the stronghold.

Just after turning back and running a few steps, Sasuke's flustered mind suddenly calmed down. His brain worked rapidly, analyzing Feng Lan's line of action piece by piece.

Feng Lan has been lurking here for more than a month, and he must be planning something big. That's why he spends so much time investigating and collecting information, and he doesn't want to run into him. Assuming that she has mastered the situation in the base and is delivering food to Area B to conceal her true actions, then her destination is...

Sasuke immediately changed his pace and rushed into a branch road connecting Area B to Orochimaru's experimental area.

Outside the secret room, Sasuke faintly heard a familiar voice coming from inside:

"...My incompetent brother, I will have to trouble you to teach him more in the future."

"Really? It seems like your sister doesn't really care about you..."

Apparently, Orochimaru had sensed that he was outside the door. Sasuke composed himself, gritted his teeth and pushed open the door.

Orochimaru's teasing smile caught his eye immediately, and Sasuke narrowed his eyes dangerously.

Orochimaru looked at Sasuke who suddenly broke in and was not surprised. He only showed an intriguing sinister smile, and his words were full of instigation: "Between you brothers, she still chose Itachi..."

"You're disappointed, right?...Sasuke?"

He ignored him and stared at the familiar figure in front of him.
