[Hokage] One tit for another

Later, very abruptly, the news of the Uchiha clan's demise came.

Originally, the relationship between Uchiha and Konoha became more and more tense, and everyone secretly prepared for the First World War.No one thought that on the eve of the war, the Uchiha clan would withdraw from the stage of history in such an abrupt and incredible way.

Rumor has it that Uchiha Itachi personally killed all men, women and children of the entire clan because of hatred and dissatisfaction.The only exception is Uchiha Itachi's idiot younger brother. When the child was found, he fell not far from his parents' corpses, covered in blood and dying.

He became arrogant because of his excellence, he became dissatisfied because of his arrogance, and hated because of his dissatisfaction, and finally killed his relatives.

After all, Kakashi and Itachi were still unfamiliar and did not understand.They are just teammates who work together, seniors and juniors, and the only communication they have is mostly Itachi talking about his younger brother.Kakashi's impression of Itachi is only limited to his outstanding talent, not only his powerful strength, but also his incredible thoughtfulness, and... his occasional gentleness towards his younger brother.

But is it just such a quiet junior who finally embarked on the bloody and killing road of no return?

"Have you heard? The Uchiha clan was wiped out overnight. By Uchiha Itachi."

"That's too scary, to be able to make such a move."

"Isn't there still one alive? It's the idiot from the Uchiha family."

"Stupid people have stupid blessings. Probably because he is a fool, so he was negligent."

"...Maybe, maybe it's too weak to be worth killing?"

Rumors spread all over the night, but Kakashi couldn't help recalling the scene he saw at the beginning. Only occasionally, a thought flashed in his mind-whether this fool was left because of negligence, or because After slaughtering all the relatives, is he still reluctant to do anything to the younger brother who was cared for in every possible way?

Kakashi wandered around the empty Uchiha village, the prosperity of the past faded overnight, those high windmills and lanterns were removed, and the doors and windows with ukiyo-e paintings were replaced with pale paper doors.

Then, Kakashi saw the child again.

Different from the spoiled young master in my memory, this child is thinner, his little face has no color, his once round chin is sharp, his body looks empty in clothes, and there are spots on his arms exposed from under the sleeves. The bruises were astonishingly thin, like flimsy glass.

The child stopped in front of a shop, staring blankly at the closed paper door, with an empty and dazed expression.He didn't seem to think about anything, didn't know what happened, let alone where to go.

Kakashi suddenly thought of the baby bird that was blown to the ground by the storm. The world he lived in was turned upside down overnight. He didn't have that little warm nest anymore, and he didn't have to make a few small calls to bring him home. parents.The sky is high, the world is big, and the sun is very warm, but this chick is very small. It can only fold its immature wings on the cold ground, trying to hug itself tightly.

"This is my home," said the child.The scar on his forehead looked a bit hideous, but he didn't seem to be in any pain, just looked up at Kakashi.

Kakashi only remembered that those eyes were very dark, with deep loneliness, as if overwhelming loneliness was about to pour out of those eyes and engulf him.

Kakashi couldn't forget those eyes until much later.

Sasuke gradually grew up and began to make a name for himself in school.This child who had been diagnosed with dementia was amazingly talented in shuriken martial arts, with perfect marks in all practical classes. Although his grades in theoretical classes were not good, his overall grades were actually the first in the whole year.

People realize that Uchiha Sasuke is not as stupid as they think.More and more people noticed Sasuke's extraordinary talent.

The extermination of the clan seems to have passed like this, and the once glorious Uchiha clan was finally annihilated in time.At that time, Kakashi was no longer the captain of the dark army hiding in the dark, but the ninja who returned all the students to school.And Uchiha Sasuke, who is known as a fool, has gradually dispelled the rumors with the passage of time, and even won the love of many girls.

The seventh class, Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura.

They are all problem students.

The day before taking over the seventh class, the third generation took Kakashi to see Sasuke's situation.Compared with Uzumaki Naruto's chaotic nest, Uchiha Sasuke's house, which lives alone away from the crowd, seems too abnormal.The entire old Uchiha house was empty, gloomy and dark, everything was neatly tidied up, only Uchiha Sasuke's own bedroom had a little trace of human life.

Kakashi and Sandaime looked at each other and sighed.

"Kakashi, I have something to remind you." The third generation said, "About Sasuke Uchiha, this child should not be stupid, or even smart. It's just a little unique. In short, these children are left to you. "

The third generation actually said the same thing as Uchiha Itachi.

Kakashi thought of the child, and said softly: "I understand, Lord III."

Kakashi didn't know whether that child was as stupid as the rumors said.But those eyes told Kakashi that the child understood, but everything was covered under the calm surface. Kakashi looked over that day, and indeed saw the silent torrential rain in those eyes.

Later, Kakashi gradually became familiar with Sasuke.That child was indeed a pure Uchiha, possessed of outstanding talent and arrogance to match.

Sasuke's strength is outstanding, but at the same time he is very brave. He looks cold and indifferent, but he is also extremely defensive. He seems to always take care of Naruto and Sakura subconsciously. Throw the bell to your companions smartly, and let your companions escape when you meet the Seven Ninja Swordsmen and face them alone—just like the genius Kakashi back then.

When you meet such a strong enemy, why don't you come to the teacher?

Kakashi asked.But that child analyzed the situation very calmly, as if staying behind was pierced by countless silk threads, pierced by long needles, and covered in blood. It was really the best choice under the situation at that time.

Because he thinks he can face everything alone, and he should face everything alone.

The proud teenager is as sharp as a knife, with fearless courage, never backing down, thinking he can handle anything.

But this world is always so difficult, just after the break, didn't the blade-like boy Kakashi break down on the Kannabi Bridge full of fallen rocks?

Kakashi doesn't want Sasuke to repeat the same mistakes, Sasuke is too similar to him, and too similar to Itachi.Kakashi wanted to help the child, so he taught Chidori to him, but after just reading it for the first time, the child completely understood the principle of Chidori.It was just the first attempt, and the child was consciously manipulating the lightning and transforming it into a more lethal form.

The dazzling lightning scorched the big tree that was the target, and at the same time blasted Sasuke into bruises all over his body. The bright red blood flowed down the child's cheeks, but he himself didn't care about it.

Kakashi grabbed Sasuke almost angrily, wanting him to stop practicing.

"I want to practice." But the child looked at him, with puzzlement and anger towards Kakashi flickering in his eyes.

He didn't understand why Kakashi wanted to stop him, nor did he understand what he was doing wrong.He was simply annoyed that Kakashi was interfering with his practice.

Kakashi's eyes fell on Sasuke's hand, the child's originally white fingers were scorched black at this moment, lightning left dense scars on his arm, blood dripped drop by drop from his fingertips to the ground.

"Doesn't it hurt?" Kakashi originally wanted to ask.

Why turn a blind eye to the hurt you have suffered?Kakashi knew what an amazing talent this child possessed, he could learn ninjutsu like Chidori just by looking at it, and he could even understand the principles and transform it. He is complacent about enhancing Chidori's lethality.

But did he realize how much he was hurt?Who would be proud of inventing a ninjutsu that can bruise themselves all over the body?

But when Sasuke raised his eyes to look at him, Kakashi suddenly realized - Sasuke didn't care.

Sasuke didn't know what Kakashi was angry about, and he didn't care about the damage he suffered. Even if Kakashi said it, Sasuke still didn't understand.

Inexplicably, Kakashi thought of Itachi, and then of Obito... Is this the case for the Uchiha clan?

Kakashi was suddenly speechless, he fled subconsciously, not daring to face the child again.

It must be painful, but it has to be done.Because he bears a debt deeper than the sea on his shoulders.

What the child needs is strength. Other than that, weakness, pain, withdrawal... so many things that a child of this age should have, all need to be discarded.

That kid doesn't need tenderness, doesn't need help, doesn't need pity, doesn't need Kakashi.He walks a lonely path and doesn't need anyone.

Itachi was right, Sasuke was better than him.

Later, Sasuke defected, killed Orochimaru a few years later, and joined Akatsuki.The child grew up in an unbelievable way, catching tailed beasts, hunting daimyo, and attacking Kagemura, and his behavior became more and more crazy, disturbing the world.However, Naruto never gave up on getting Sasuke back, and Kakashi couldn't stop it. Everyone can see the bond between Sasuke and Naruto, from the fool and monster when they were young, to the rebellious Ninja and Kyuubi later.They have always been partners and friends.

Kakashi knew that during the years when Sasuke defected, Naruto accidentally met Sasuke when he was on a mission, and Sasuke would help them.

But is Sasuke still the original Sasuke?Kakashi didn't know, he looked at the boy who had grown into an S-rank wanted rebel, trying to find a trace of the past.

But just when all of them thought that Naruto wanted to bring Sasuke back indefinitely, Sasuke took the initiative to find them with Itachi.

The task of searching for Sasuke and catching Itachi was unexpectedly completed, and Itachi followed Sasuke quietly, with a hissing snake wrapped around his arm, and was firmly tied to Sasuke.

The originally enviable brother has come to this step today.The Uchiha family seems to be always accompanied by hatred and pain.

But the subsequent development completely shocked Kakashi.

Sasuke knelt down in front of Tsunade-sama.The eagle-like proud child lay obediently on the ground, lowered his head, as if all the sharp edges were hidden, the dim candle flame flickered in the stone room, Kakashi looked over, but could only see the child Downcast eyelids.

Kakashi has never seen Sasuke like this before. In his impression, Sasuke has always been arrogant, always calling him "Kakashi" arrogantly, refusing to use a single honorific.But at that time, Kakashi suddenly discovered that the young master of the Uchiha family can also use honorifics, and the back that is always straight and refuses to bend even if the sky falls down can also bend down and kneel Lie on the ground.

Sasuke lowered his head, begging word by word, his words were calm.

It turned out that the pair of brothers from back then have not changed.

When the operation was completed, Kakashi looked at Sasuke who was pushed out of the operating room with a pale face, not knowing what to say.

It shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this, Kakashi looked at Sasuke whose eyes were covered with bandages, just like that, did this child lose his eyes?

Back then, the child who picked up his elder brother home and gave his elder brother lunch gave his eyes to his elder brother again.

Only when there is a good brother can there be a good brother.

However, Uchiha Itachi will not be able to repay such a contribution throughout his life.

After waking up, Uchiha Itachi was very calm, as if he had known the ending long ago, and those blood-red Sharingan Eyes circulated, forming more complicated patterns.

Kakashi had seen the hexagram pattern in those eyes... in Sasuke's eyes.

In front of Sasuke's ward, Naruto rushed up furiously and knocked Itachi down with one punch.Itachi didn't say a word, the indifference and calm that Kakashi was familiar with remained on his face.

Naruto shook his head and left, Itachi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stood up slowly, looked at Sasuke lying inside through the glass.

At that moment, Kakashi's eyes widened.

Itachi, weeping.

Transparent tears silently flowed down Itachi's cheeks, and dripped to the ground, flowing like a stream.

Kakashi remained silent, because he saw——The world in Itachi's eyes collapsed
