The red moon hung high in the sky, and the biting cold wind poured into Rina's chest, making her feel stabbing pains. However, she still ran as hard as she could. Even though her legs were numb and weak, she did not dare to stop, let alone look back.

A few hours ago, Rina was preparing dinner with her father Uchiha Shota as usual, waiting for her brother Yuuto, who serves in the police force, to come home and have dinner together.

Today's meal was particularly sumptuous. On the dining table was the fish that Xiang Taixin had caught in the morning. It was steamed with ginger and green onion. After it was cooked, it was topped with a secret sauce. It tasted fresh and delicious. The bone broth simmering in the pot was steaming and exuding a rich aroma.

Tomoko, the mother, was sick and the father and daughter refused to let her help, so she just sat quietly at the dining table and looked at the father and daughter who were busy in the kitchen with a gentle expression.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines into the house, and everything seems to be cast in a warm color.

Rina took out the cooked rice and put it on the table, then got into Tomoko's arms, rubbed herself in Tomoko's arms, and asked with a coquettish smile: "When will brother come back?"

Tomoko caressed Rina's head tenderly, looked at the darkening sky outside the house, and replied softly: "Brother should be back soon. Does Rina miss my brother?"

Rina nodded, waved her hands and smiled grandly: "Yeah, brother promised to bring me a strawberry daifuku when he went out this morning."

Shota brought out the cooked food. Hearing this, he squatted down and scratched Rina's nose lovingly, and said with a smile: "Rina is such a greedy little cat. My brother is so busy with tasks, and you are still pestering him to ask him to give it to you." You bring dessert.”

Hearing this, Rina broke out of Tomoko's arms, pouted, put her hands on her hips with a red face and said, "No way! My brother said he would bring it to me when he went out!"

There was a sudden loud noise, and the three people in the room were startled. Tomoko hurriedly took Rina into her arms, and then looked up and saw Yuuto breaking in through the door. He was dripping with blood, but he still held on, coughing. Xue said hurriedly: "Father, mother, take Rina out of Konoha quickly!" As he said this, he staggered to the point of falling down.

Shota quickly stepped forward to support Yuuto and asked anxiously: "What happened? Yuuto, you heal your injuries first, and then we go to the clan leader together. He will be able to find a solution."

Yuuto waved his hand and coughed up another mouthful of blood: "It's too late, and the clan leader is probably in danger. The top management of Konoha has issued an order to exterminate the Uchiha clan. Itachi betrayed the Uchiha clan and accepted Danzo and his advisors. The order to exterminate the clan... ahem... there is no time, Itachi is probably almost here, father, you take your mother and Rina and escape from the tunnel, I will stay behind."

Hearing this, Rina rushed up and hugged Yuuto, crying: "Brother, come with us!"

Yuuto smiled helplessly, shook his head, carefully wiped his blood-stained hands with the corner of his clothes, then gently touched Rina's head, and said warmly: "Brother's injury is too serious, and his body can no longer support it. I have escaped, so why not stay here to hold Itachi off, so that Rina-chan and her father and mother have a greater chance of escaping."

He raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of Rina's eyes: "I'm sorry, brother broke his promise and didn't bring back Rina-chan's beloved strawberry daifuku."

After saying this, he pushed Rina into Shota's arms.

"Go!" he shouted.

Shota glanced at Yuuto unbearably, then picked up Rina and Tomoko's hand, turned around and ran away to the backyard.

Yuuto quietly watched his father, mother and sister leave, slowly sat down, used the last bit of chakra to forcefully open his Sharingan, and waited for Itachi's arrival.

Shota and his wife and daughter ran to the backyard wall and looked at Tomoko. Tomoko nodded, raised his hand and shook the cement of the wall with one palm, revealing the gray bricks underneath. Shota stretched out his hand and pulled out the gray bricks. A piece of reddish-brown masonry surrounded by stones, and instantly, the ground shook.

After a while, the lake stones originally placed on the wall for decoration slowly moved away, revealing a tunnel.

boom!

Suddenly there was a loud noise. Shota heard the sound and looked back, only to see a huge fire burning behind him. He thought that the eldest son was probably in danger, and he couldn't help but look sad. He calmed down, knowing that Itachi would probably die soon. After catching up, he turned around and suddenly pushed his wife and daughter into the tunnel with force, then put the red bricks back in place and closed the entrance.

"Shouta, what are you doing?" Tomoko's anxious voice came from the ground.

"Tomoko, from now on you will have to take care of Rina by yourself. Being able to be with you is the luckiest thing in my life. It's a pity that I can't grow old with you."

"Rina, in the future, if your father and brother are not with you, you must protect yourself and your mother. Your mother is not in good health, so you must be good and listen to your mother."

Shota sighed slowly: "I'm afraid Yuuto has... Itachi will find him here soon. I'll stay here to hold him back."

"How can you delay? You are not a ninja at all, and you don't even have chakra. You are just going to die if you stay here!" Tomoko cried hoarsely.

Shota lowered his head after hearing this and smiled softly: "Of course I know that I am no match for Itachi. If I stay here, I will die. However, I still have a few detonating talismans here. If I risk my life, I can hold him back for a while. , it’s worth buying some time for you mother and daughter to escape.”

He looked at the several detonating charms lying quietly in his hands and secretly gritted his teeth.

"Let's go!" Shouta shouted sharply.

Tomoko was silent for a moment, raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, covered her mouth to swallow her sobs, turned around and ran away with Rina in hand.

Shota listened to the footsteps of his wife and daughter walking away, a faint smile appeared on his face.

He sighed and turned around, only to see Itachi slowly walking towards him with a long knife still dripping blood, like a god of death.

"Why?" Shouta roared angrily, "Even if we bear the name of Uchiha, our family is just ordinary people who make a living by tailoring clothes for the clan. Even if Yuuto is a ninja, his talent in ninjutsu is only mediocre. It’s impossible to get involved in the fights of those big shots. Why do you treat us like this? What did we do wrong?”

"I'm sorry." Itachi said slowly, without hesitation in raising the knife.

"Ha." Shota sneered, and then detonated the detonating talisman.

boom!

Another loud noise came, and the tunnel exit was right in front of him, but Tomoko stopped.

"It's too late..." She murmured and touched her daughter's face, her eyes filled with tenderness and reluctance.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Rina asked in confusion.

Tomoko knelt down and took off Rina's uniform with the clan emblem embroidered on it, leaving only a single shirt. Then she took off the crystal pendant from her neck and put it on Rina. Then she hugged Rina tightly and gently Closed his eyes.

"Mom, what are you doing?" An ominous feeling crept into Rina's heart.

"Rina, look at me, be sure to remember what I say next." Tomoko pressed her forehead against Rina's and slowly opened her eyes. In her scarlet eyes, complex patterns were slowly turning.

"This is... the Sharingan? It seems different from my brother's and everyone else's in the clan." Rina murmured.

Tomoko nodded: "This is the Mangekyo Sharingan, the higher evolutionary form of the Sharingan. I will seal these eyes into this pendant in a while. If one day you have the same eyes as me, you can take them out." , it will be useful to you. You must have a lot of questions about Sharingan and Uchiha now. Some of my notes are also sealed in the pendant, which may be helpful to you. There are also some things in this pendant that may be useful to you. Help, if you want to become a ninja one day and need strength, just inject chakra into it and open it."

"The exit of this tunnel is the forest outside the village. After you go out, keep running forward and don't look back. Don't tell anyone your last name. Just in case, I have implanted a virtual memory in your brain to prevent others from exploring. .”

She paused, took out her handkerchief and wiped the dirt on Rina's face with a smile.

"After you escape, don't think about revenge. You should take good care of yourself, grow up safely and healthily, and be a kind and upright person. Your parents and brother will be watching you in heaven."

After finishing speaking, Tomoko took a deep look at Rina, her eyes filled with nostalgia, but she still dug out her eyes decisively and sealed them into the pendant.

"Sorry, I can't grow up with you anymore."

She finally touched Rina's head gently, summoned a long knife from the scroll and put it into Rina's arms, and then pushed Rina out of the tunnel.

"No!" Rina suddenly got up from the ground and wanted to rush back to the tunnel, but Rina smiled and shook her head, raised her hand to shatter the falling rocks and covered the exit.

"Mom!" Rina called hoarsely, but there was no answer.

Rina staggered back a few steps, shaking her head in disbelief. After a moment, she gritted her teeth, wiped the tears from her face, hugged the long knife tightly in her arms, turned around, and kept moving forward as Tomoko said. run.

Sensing that her daughter had left, Tomoko smiled happily and waited quietly for Itachi's arrival in the darkness.

I do not know how long it has been.

tick-

She heard the sound of blood splashing, and the person behind her slowly raised the long knife.

Tomoko lowered his head and raised a crazy smile on his lips: "Sleep here with me, Uchiha Itachi!"

"Yang Yanliu·Ninth Style·Burning Heaven!"

In an instant, the fire burned into the sky, turning everything into ashes. A black crow flew out of the scorching waves and screamed ominously, as if to express condolences to the tragic death of the family.

The loud noise of the explosion came, and the aftertaste of the monstrous heat wave hit Rina's back. She was exhausted from running and sweating profusely, but she still felt cold all over her body. Tears flowed down unconsciously, blurring her vision, and she could not exert any strength. He raised his hand to wipe it away. His legs and feet had already lost all feeling, but he still didn't dare to stop.

She ran forward numbly, with only one thought in her mind -

Escape from this hell and live! She must live!

Unconsciously, Rina's vision suddenly became extremely clear, and an ominous scarlet color quietly filled her pupils.
