Jiraiya was too lazy to care. Tsunade had long lost her previous momentum. Only Orochimaru, who had been in a high position for a long time and had absolute confidence in his own strength, would not let others pry.

However, Shen withdrew his power of perception in time, and Orochimaru was unable to locate Shen. He only glanced at a few senior members of the Uchiha clan.

He licked his tongue and looked back, making people confused.

It was noon and the funeral ceremony was finally over.

After the high-level officials of Konoha exchanged a few words with several major families, they each left with their subordinates and clan members.

"Dad, I want to stay for a while."

A clear but slightly dull child's voice came from the front of the Uchiha team, it was Uchiha Itachi.

"Okay, let's take a day off today. Shisui should be able to complete the mission and come back tomorrow. You can practice with him again."

"Yes, Dad."

Just like that, everyone else left one after another. Xin deliberately took a step slowly to let Wu leave first.

He did not dare to activate the power of perception at will. When leaving the cemetery gate, with the power of hearing, he found that another set of footsteps had not left the cemetery.

[It should be Orochimaru. In my impression, Orochimaru and Itachi seemed to have had a brief contact at the end of the funeral, but... I can't remember it. 】

With Xin's current strength, facing Orochimaru, it cannot be said that he has no resistance, but it is also quite dangerous.

After hesitating for a moment, he ducked into the corner, unfolded the sealing scroll, and left Little Fengling No. 1 behind to keep a certain distance to track Uchiha Itachi's whereabouts.

After the arrangement was completed, he quietly left from the other side of the corner, found a hidden place, and waited for Itachi to leave.

A few minutes later, Orochimaru was the first to leave, his cold vertical pupils shining in all directions, and he looked slightly doubtfully at the big tree where Little Fengling No. 1 was perching more than ten feet away.

huh~~~

A gust of summer wind blew by, and the previous abnormal feeling disappeared.

[Interesting...is it Danzo? 】

In the Leaf Village, Danzo Shimura himself is the only one who can exert wind attribute chakra to a level that even he and Orochimaru cannot sense clearly.

Regarding the information about the Homura Organization and Yu, Namikaze Minato and Uchiha Shisui only reported it to Sarutobi Hiruzen. Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo did not completely trust each other and would always retain some information.

Naturally, the Great Elder Uchiha would not expose the fact that the Kingdom of Water was helped by Yu.

Therefore, Danzo Shimura and Orochimaru knew very little about the Homura Organization and Yu.

After Orochimaru left, Itachi, who was a little lost, walked out of the cemetery without any care and walked towards the back mountain of Konoha.

Not far away, the re-hidden Little Fengling No. 1 rose up with the wind, followed Itachi in mid-air, and consumed part of the chakra, triggering the induction of the sealing soul seal on the sealing scroll.

Uchiha Shin, who had just ordered a bowl of ramen and was about to enjoy lunch, suddenly felt the seal scroll on his lower back move.

"Boss, save the noodles and come over to eat later."

I threw down some money, got up and left Ichiraku Ramen.

"Oh, it's not suitable to make ramen in advance. You can cook it when the guests come. Is that okay?"

Yile asked with a smile, squinting his eyes, looking like a qualified merchant.

Xin didn't respond. He waved his hand in agreement, then quickened his pace and rushed towards the back mountain of Konoha.

The originally scorching sun in the sky was blocked by a white cloud, giving it a slight hint of coolness.

On the edge of the cliff, Uchiha Itachi had been standing for a while, looking ahead blankly.

"Is life... meaningless?"

"Isn't life...meaningless?"

He muttered to himself slowly. Itachi, who was only over four years old, was still unable to understand what he encountered on the battlefield and Orochimaru's definition of the meaning of life as one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha.

Suddenly, his confused mind went blank because he could not handle the entangled concepts.

Without Shisui, he didn't know who to talk to, and children of the same age were not worth communicating with.

Unknowingly, a latent arrogance had developed in the young Itachi.

This kind of arrogance is a disdain for peers, uncertainty about whether parents and elders can understand me, and recognition of the burden of thought that I should not bear at this age.

When his mind went blank, Itachi's body began to lean forward and fell forward against the leeward wind.

[I’m going to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff? ! 】

Uchiha Shin, who was hiding behind him, subconsciously appeared to rescue him.

However, when you are about to take action, don't let the sudden voice in your body stop you.

[Wouldn’t it be better to die?The disaster of genocide a few years later was solved directly! 】

Immediately afterwards, another contrary voice appeared.

[Itachi is the executioner of the genocide, but he is not the source of living roots. As an Uchiha, how can he not save his clan members until they die? 】

The two voices refused to give way to each other, causing Xin Zhi's consciousness to hesitate and miss the best opportunity for rescue.

click~

Xin shook his head, put aside his random thoughts, appeared and quickly came to the edge of the cliff, and listened down.

"Gah~wow, gah~wow, gah~wow."

Several crow calls came up from under the cliff, and then a faint sound was heard.

The sound of metal hitting the cliff.

Click~bang~...click~

"This naughty kid plays such an exciting game at such a young age. You must tell the clan leader when you get back."

Xin looked relieved and said to himself.

Then, Xin walked down the cliff with chakra attached to her feet.

sand~sand~

On the cliff, on the other side, a small white snake crawled out of the trees, stuck out its tongue and looked down the cliff.

Xin had already rushed to the bottom of the cliff, found Itachi who had landed smoothly, scolded him, and forcibly picked him up and returned to the center of Konoha.

After leaving the vicinity of the cliff, his ears moved slightly to confirm that the little white snake had not followed, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

[This Orochimaru, has he set his sights on Uchiha Itachi so early?It shouldn't be. 】

Confused, Xin tightened her grip on Itachi's arms, feeling mixed feelings in her heart, including regrets and apologies.

Before lying down on the cliff, when she heard the sound of kunai piercing the cliff, Xin already knew that Itachi wanted to survive.

For a moment, he was ready to pull out his kunai and give Itachi a finish line while he was struggling to survive below.

But just as he was about to take action, he heard something strange in the trees not far away from him. He had no choice but to endure his "evil" thoughts, decisively climbed down the cliff, and brought Weasel back to the clan.

"Senior Xin, don't worry, I won't think about it anymore."

After Itachi jumped off a cliff, he gained a better understanding of himself, and his heart was filled with an incomparable desire to live.

"Asshole, have you forgotten what I told you a few days ago? Before you look for the meaning of life, think about who gave you life."

Xin Fei said angrily.

"I see..."

Itachi replied slightly guiltily.

"Uh... when you go back, spend more time with Izumi. You will find the meaning of life."

For such independent children, preaching is of little use and they can only rely on the power of love.
