Forced to sell misery

"Brother Shisui..."

However, Sasuke had no intention of reminiscing with Shisui!

If Shisui appeared in Konoha... that means the Uchiha clan already knew about the turmoil that Uchiha Kagami Ya had caused...

Then, what is the attitude of the clan? What is the attitude of Konoha? !

How will he and his brother be treated?

Should he be sent back to Uchiha, or... continue to stay in Konoha?

Everything is unknown, and for the source of all troubles——Uchiha Jingye,

Sasuke was really angry.

Moreover, because of Naruto's matter, he was locked up for a night!

Sasuke gritted his teeth and made a mental note.

"What's wrong?" Noticing that Sasuke was distracted, Shisui pinched Sasuke's face. Mm, it felt so good... He was as cute as Itachi before.

"Brother Shisui~" The 7-year-old boy Sasuke pouted his face angrily.

"Don't worry, if anything happens, we brothers are here to help. Sasuke just needs to grow up without worries."

Shisui laughed heartily.

"..." No, the ones who need to be worried about the most are you brothers...

Sasuke was simply exhausted.

……

Led by the nurse, the two arrived at the door of the ward.

"Nissan?" Sasuke suddenly had a bad feeling and knocked on the door.

"Speak softly, Itachi-kun is still in a coma..." The nurse gently gestured for silence and gently opened the door -

The medical record folder in her hand fell to the ground, and the nurse shouted in surprise,

"Itachi, Itachi-kun?!"

The wind lifted the curtains, and thanks to the good habits of the residents, the quilt on the bed was smoothed out.

The ward was empty.

If he is not crazy...then the world is crazy!

Sasuke stood there at a loss, thinking ridiculously.

……

Konoha, the path behind the mountain.

"Take another step, and you will be regarded as a traitor." A man walked out of the darkness, "Itachi, you are not such an irrational person."

"Then... what kind of person am I?" After changing out of his Anbu attire, Itachi wore an Uchiha clan uniform, as if he had turned back into the eldest son of the Uchiha family's clan leader.

And now, he is standing here as Itachi of the Uchiha family, making a decision that may affect his life, rather than as Itachi of Uchiha Anbu of Konoha.

"You can't stop me," Itachi tilted his head to look over, the three-magatama Sharingan slowly turning in his pupils, "Kakashi, Captain."

"No," Kakashi emerged from the shadows and took off the Anbu mask on his head, "I will not fight you."

"I won't stop you as a Konoha Anbu, but... I want to ask you a few questions."

Kakashi had already noticed something when Itachi left Konoha Hospital, and then he followed Itachi all the way to the Root.

In those abandoned data rooms, Itachi seemed to have found something he wanted.

In order to avoid being discovered, Kakashi did not follow too closely.

But...it was still discovered...

Is he worthy of being an Uchiha?

Kakashi could only smile bitterly.

"Maybe I won't answer." Itachi looked at Kakashi.

"It doesn't matter. Personally, I don't want to stop you." Kakashi sighed.

"So the first question is, are you going to find that guy?"

"To put an end to this?"

"Even if you find him, then what?"

"Take him back to Konoha, or to the new Uchiha land?"

"You know, now Uchiha Jingye... is already a dead man."

"Are you going to kill him?"

"Are you really capable of abandoning everything, Itachi?"

"And what about Sasuke?"

Itachi remained silent.

Go forward or go back. Two completely different choices, two completely different destinies.

Where to go?

"Itachi, I don't want you to go down that path."

"If Uchiha Jingye is really trapped in darkness, then the only one who can save him from darkness is you."

"No, I won't be his salvation." Itachi finally spoke, "I am his calamity."

Kakashi suddenly didn't know what to say.

"You're right, Uchiha Jingye is dead." Itachi's expression was calm, as if he was narrating an ordinary little thing.

Kakashi was shocked.

"The Uchiha Jingye who is alive now is just a shell. I will kill him, and as for the mistakes he made, I will atone for them."

"Is this so?"

Kakashi lowered his head.

"I don't think I'm in a position to stop you...but I don't want to see my subordinates go astray." Kakashi took out a kunai and held it in his hand.

"Oh, now you want to stop me as the captain of Konoha Anbu?" Itachi slowly drew out the short sword from his back.

The battle is about to break out.

"Nissan!"

The two of them were startled at the same time.

Itachi turned around and saw Sasuke looking at him with worry, and the one holding Sasuke was his best friend, Uchiha Shisui.

"Feel sorry."

Shisui put Sasuke down.

Sasuke ran towards Itachi, but was frightened by the murderous intent in Itachi. He stood there in a daze, looking up at Itachi.

He remembered the night of the genocide, when he had looked at Itachi with such pleading eyes, but Itachi was holding the butcher knife at that time, with no emotion in his eyes.

Itachi is such a good disguise...

In his previous life, he deceived everyone, deceived him, for so many years.

He remembered that when the truth finally came out, he still didn't believe it.

……

But, until the end, I was still alive.

Just like what Obito said when he just couldn't believe the truth about Itachi no matter what, if Itachi really wanted to take his life, then... he would have died long ago.

But he is still alive.

Living with such a heavy burden of love.

……

Now he still couldn't see through Itachi's disguise. Itachi's eyes were empty, with nothing in them, which made him extremely uneasy.

He is no longer the Sasuke who had only hatred in his eyes and lived only for revenge.

Hatred destroyed him, but also made him.

History always repeats itself in a surprising way. Itachi now is just like himself in the past.

After being reborn, he was still helpless against Itachi.

Because no one knows better than him what it is like to live out of hatred.

The flames of hatred will burn everything until you are reduced to ashes.

Just like myself in the past,

In order to gain the power of revenge, he paid all the price and put himself at risk.

If you lose, you have nothing; if you win, you still have nothing.

Because this is a road from which there is no turning back, because it is narrow enough.

What frightened him was not Itachi's hatred;

But Itachi now has enough power for revenge.

It seems that nothing can stop a person who is bent on revenge, just like him in his previous life.

but……

He knew that he absolutely couldn't let Itachi... just leave again like that!

Even though, he was taking advantage of Itachi's feelings in a despicable way.

"Nisan." Sasuke reached out and grabbed Itachi's sleeve.

Itachi looked down at Sasuke.

"This is the last time, Sasuke."

After a long while, Itachi said.

One last time, compromise.

The sun shone through the branches, and a hint of red appeared in the distant sky, and then the light broke through the clouds.

It shines softly but irresistibly on everything.

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Dawn...?

What an irony.
