Konoha's Shiranui Genma

A handsome young man with a short sword appeared in front of Uchiha Itachi at some point. At this time, he put down his hand and sighed: "Itachi, you shouldn't be so impulsive."

Uchiha Itachi's hand shook and the kunai fell. Then he held his head with both hands and said with some pain: "But this bastard has been annoying me for two years. I really..."

Uchiha Shisui walked over in a few steps, knelt down and patted his shoulder: "It's not a good character to always hold back and then burst out. In fact, you could have chosen a better solution."

Uchiha Itachi was silent when he heard the words, without saying a word.

"Brother Zhisui, why are there so many people like this in the clan?" After a while, he asked in a low voice.

Uchiha Shisui sat on the ground, his tone gradually lowered: "Anyone who finds that killing and hatred can quickly increase his strength will find it difficult not to fall."

"For hundreds of years, in order to obtain more powerful Sharingan, killing close relatives has happened from time to time in the clan. Today's situation is really normal."

Uchiha Itachi asked: "Can Uchiha just keep falling?"

Uchiha Shisui was silent for a moment: "Although it is emotionally difficult to accept, rationally speaking, this is probably the truth. Unless all Sharingan disappears overnight, Uchiha can only continue to degenerate like this."

"But if we keep doing this, we will be destroyed sooner or later. Isn't there any way to stop it?"

"No."

Uchiha Shisui shook his head: "Everyone is going to die. Some die from aging, some die from disease, some die from war, and some die from suicide in the family."

"Countless families have been destroyed due to various reasons in history, and the Uchiha clan will definitely be destroyed one day. Destruction in the process of corruption is probably our way of ending."

Uchiha Itachi clenched his fists and seemed to find it difficult to accept: "This kind of thinking is too pessimistic."

"This has nothing to do with being pessimistic or not. Many things are only governed by objective laws. Whether people are willing or not, accept it or not, the result will be the same." Uchiha Shisui said slowly.

"Just like, when I first knew that I would die in the future, I was so heartbroken, but there was nothing I could do about being sad. I could only bury this fact in my heart and try not to think about it, and said "all "Everyone will die" to comfort yourself.

As he spoke, Uchiha Shisui laughed at himself mockingly: "However, I never thought that after only a few years, I, who was so pity for my life, would have the idea of ​​suicide."

"Suicide" Uchiha Itachi was startled.

"Yes, my Sharingan was opened after I stabbed myself. Speaking of which, when my uncle learned about this, he stabbed himself cruelly. But unfortunately, his power did not change. Change occurs.”

"Why did you commit suicide?" Uchiha Itachi tried to ask.

Uchiha Shisui shook his head: "I chose to commit suicide not because I found a reason to commit suicide, but because I could never find a reason to live."

"what about now"

Uchiha Shisui smiled: "After that failed suicide, I found a reason to live."

"what is"

"Death is still very scary. In other words, you are afraid of death. Because you are afraid of death, you live."

Uchiha Shisui's tone was very casual, but Uchiha Itachi's face turned pale.

After a while, Uchiha Shisui seemed to realize something and said quickly: "I seem to be spreading my pessimism again, sorry."

"Don't take my words to heart. I have nothing left, and you still have parents, and in the future you may have brothers, sisters, and even wives and children. You are different from many Uchiha people. I believe you can feel it from around you. Family love exists. Right?"

Itachi Uchiha lowered his head and said nothing.

The atmosphere was silent for a long time before he changed the subject: "Brother Shisui, can you do me a favor?"

"What are you busy, you say."

Uchiha Itachi hesitated for a while before saying: "I've been suffering from insomnia recently. I originally wanted to go to the hospital to buy some sleeping pills, but the doctor said I was too young and wouldn't prescribe them to me. Can you buy some for me?"

"Insomnia" Uchiha Shisui was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and looked at Uchiha Tiehuo, who was still unconscious, "Is it because of this guy?"

Uchiha Itachi hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Uchiha Shisui: "He will definitely not bother you again in the future. Just adjust yourself and you should be fine soon. You are growing now, so it is better not to take sleeping pills casually."

"I just want to return to my normal schedule as soon as possible. It will definitely be more convenient if I have the help of medicine, otherwise the adjustment process will definitely be much slower." Uchiha Itachi added, "Just a little is enough."

"This"

Uchiha Shisui hesitated, but finally nodded and said, "Okay, I'll buy you some sleeping pills, but you must be careful. You'd rather continue to suffer from insomnia than take too much at once."

"Otherwise, once you become dependent, your body will quickly collapse."

"Thank you, Brother Shisui." Uchiha smiled.

"I remind you again, never take too much sleeping pills at one time, okay?"

"know."

Uchiha Itachi nodded casually, and then asked: "Brother Shisui, I remember you went out on a mission, why did you suddenly appear here?"

Uchiha Shisui sighed slightly: "I came back to deliver the information."

"intelligence"

Uchiha Shisui's tone became a little dignified, but he didn't elaborate, he just said: "No accident, Yan Yin should declare war on us soon."

It's expected and reasonable.

Just when Konoha marched straight in and defeated the Sunagakure and Kawakuni forces to the point of collapse, the Earth Kingdom suddenly declared war on the Fire Nation, and the situation suddenly changed.

However, although war was declared, Iwain did not send troops immediately. Instead, he continued to fight for several months, denouncing Konoha for "bullying the weak", "tyrannical", etc., and strongly supporting Sain spiritually.

However, Konoha never dared to relax, and still allocated part of its troops to set up defenses at the border and in the Land of Grass, to be alert to Iwagakure at all times.

It was not until the end of December 45 that the situation changed significantly again.

It was nearly nine o'clock in the morning.

As soon as Shiranui Genma, Akai, and Ebisu arrived at the east gate of the village, they saw Kime Nagaye standing with a solemn expression, his hands folded in front of his chest, and his brows furrowed as he stared at his feet, not knowing what he was thinking. Something.

"Long-term teacher"

Only then did Mumu Changye react: "Oh, you are here. I will not practice today. I have something to tell you."

After a pause, he slowly said with a serious tone: "During the battle against the Sunagakure coalition, Konoha suffered an unprecedented defeat. Our border, known in ancient times as Platycodon City, has been lost."
