[Hokage] One tit for another

It was dark.

Miraculously, Itachi felt that his mind was clearer than ever before, his hands were not shaking, and he was packing up the knives in an orderly manner, and his heartbeat was also very calm, beating slowly and regularly.

Itachi felt that he had made all the preparations.

He suddenly remembered that he had missed the appointment with the swordsmith, and when he hurried over, he saw only an empty room and a long knife with a black sheath.As soon as the knife was out of its sheath, a cold light filled the air. Accompanied by Qingyue's chirping sound, Itachi let out a soft sigh almost immediately. This is indeed a peerless good knife.But when Itachi took the knife back, he suddenly didn't know where to put it.

The calendar on the wall is still in June, but it is impossible to turn to the next one.

This is a birthday gift that can never be given.

Itachi was silent for a long time, and put the knife deep into the bottom of the box.He prepared many large boxes, which were filled with scrolls and knives that he had collected over the years.

Sasuke will definitely need it.That child is always so bad at taking care of himself, if he doesn't have enough knives, maybe he will pick up shurikens that fall on the ground and use them back.

But when Itachi put several large boxes of knives neatly in the room, he seemed to realize that he was not just going out for a long trip.

It's Sasuke's birthday soon.

As if in a dream, Itachi wrote down his birthday wishes.Then he suddenly woke up from the dream, he looked at the blessings written by his subordinates in astonishment, and squeezed his hands tightly.He slowly, bit by bit, picked up the blessing, as if tearing it to pieces together with the naive assumptions he still holds up to now.

But when the last note was torn, Itachi couldn't tear it anymore.The fluffy paper seemed to be heavier than the mountain, Itachi's hands trembled and he couldn't lift it up.

stay.

There was a small voice in Itachi's heart saying.

No more tearing.

The voice seemed to be crying.

Itachi held up the blessing, as if tearing it up with all his strength, but the paper is so strong that it hasn't been damaged in the slightest after tearing it for a long time.So Itachi became obsessed and put birthday wishes on the black scabbard sword, as if he would see the sun again one day.

Looking around his room for the last time, Itachi silently walked through the entrance.He clearly knew that he was going to kill people, his clan members, and his blood relatives.He even calculated the knives he needed in his mind. There were not enough shurikens. He took out a new one from under the cabinet and put it in the knives bag. Then he bent down, fastened his leggings, and checked his body one last time. equipment.

Even when he came to a familiar street, listened to those familiar voices, and swung his sword for the first time, Itachi was calm.

The originally peaceful greeting changed its tone, like a weird and piercing sonata, blood splattered, and people ran in all directions. Itachi calculated the escape route of everyone in his mind, and then chased after him.The edge of the blade raised slightly, and the snow-white blade was covered with bright red blood, reflecting the crescent moon in the sky.

The blood flowed across the long street, and the clansmen fell down like building blocks, piling up into small hills. Those familiar faces were twisted ferociously, and the scarlet Sharingan was always frozen at the moment of death, losing its vitality.

Itachi saw himself through a pair of terrified pupils, his face was dull and his eyes were empty.

Sasuke...

Itachi's eyes blurred.

Sasuke...

Biting cold began to spread from Itachi's fingertips.

Sasuke, Sasuke, Sasuke...

Itachi didn't know how he walked home step by step, he didn't know how he opened the door and saw his parents sitting there waiting for him, and he didn't know how he raised the knife.

When Itachi realized it, his hands were already trembling uncontrollably, he gritted his teeth tightly, but the tears still flowed endlessly, across his cheeks, dripping on the ground, dizzying a large swath of water.

Dad, Mom...

For a moment, Itachi wanted to give up, he raised his hand slightly, and the ninja knife hanging above his parents' heads was about to be retracted.

Let him die!Damn him.

Damn it was him!

"Itachi!" But his father yelled and stopped Itachi. He was still so serious and rigid, sitting there with his back upright and kneeling, leaving only Itachi a majestic back.

"Swing the knife, Itachi," he said.

The blade froze in mid-air for a moment, and then, a white light flashed.

Blood spread silently in the darkness, Itachi silently wiped away the tears.Itachi turned his head and tried to make himself stronger. He was no longer a child, and had already passed the age of weakness.

The flickering candlelight in the darkness suddenly became extremely distant.Itachi was scalded by the warm light and could only retreat into the shadows.

He has already lost the qualification to be favored by the fire.

Sasuke came under the moonlight, and the bright red blood spread to the child's feet.

Itachi strangled the younger brother's neck, lifted the young child up, and shared sharingan to sharingan, similar hooks flowed.

Open the three hook jade, Sasuke.When did it happen?He didn't know anything about it.

Opening such a complete Sangou jade at the age of seven, this is the son of hope that the tribe has been eagerly looking for.

Itachi unleashed the power of the kaleidoscope sharingan, and weaved a lie that he had thought about countless times.This is what Itachi is best at. He wandered in that world with Sasuke, watching his clansmen die again and again.

But why?

Why hasn't the fire in the child's eyes been extinguished.

Even so, is it still not enough?

Itachi had no choice but to hold on to the mask in vain, as if if he struck harder, they could shatter all their past.

Itachi knew Sasuke, even better than the kid himself.

That child was so clever that Itachi even wondered if there were any secrets in this world that could not be noticed by that child.So Itachi only hoped that he could keep the secret a little longer, so that the child would know all this later and have enough opportunities to grow up.

With that child's pride, even if he finally knew the whole truth, he would still kill him.

Because he exterminated the family and killed his parents with his own hands, it was indeed him.No matter what the reason is, the blood of his tribe is flowing on his hands, and this is his irrefutable charge.

This is his sin, his evil.

Sasuke loves him.

Itachi knows.

But Itachi also knew that Sasuke would punish him with his own hands.

If you make a mistake, you will be punished.Whatever you choose, you have to pay the price.

That was the principle his proud younger brother stood by.

Sasuke...is such a child who has clear grievances and grievances, is arrogant and strong, sticks to principles, but is incredibly gentle.

From the moment Itachi chose to kill the clansman with his own hands, it meant that he would eventually apologise with death.

That's it.

Itachi looks forward to death, and to be judged by Sasuke.

He wanted to die in the assistant's arms, which was his greatest luxury and also his last redemption.

So, hate me, Sasuke.

Please grow up step by step and be the eagle with wings.

Please kill me, Sasuke, to put an end to all these sins.

And what he needs to do now is to become rebellious and keep wandering. He wants to wait in the dark and build a bigger and stronger fortress in a distant place to keep the strong wind far away.

Before Sasuke fully grows, he has to be alive, he has to make sure that Konoha fulfills the promise, he has to monitor Uchiha Madara's actions, and he wants to... see Sasuke grow up with his own eyes.

Everything fell silent, Itachi looked at the child lying in a pool of blood, he saw his outstretched hand, as if between him and Sasuke, were divided into two worlds, he tried to stretch out his hand, but he couldn't touch it Sasuke's face.

It took a long time before Itachi's fingertips touched Sasuke's forehead, and the blood oozed from the child's black hair, staining Itachi's fingers red.The blood burned Itachi like a fire, almost drying up Itachi's blood.

so warm...

Itachi sighed.It's as soft as imagined.

Sasuke's eyelashes trembled, and the child's brows were tightly frowned, even if he fainted, he was not stable, as if trying to break free from the darkness.

But when Itachi put his hand on his forehead, the child relaxed almost subconsciously, and his brows stretched a little, just like countless times before, Itachi sat by the child's bed and watched the child snuggle up. Breathing the familiar breath, he showed a soft and trusting expression bit by bit.

Dispelled the nightmare for you?my brother.

Even at this point.

Why……

Itachi's hands trembled.

Why……

Transparent water dripped on Itachi's hand, mixing with Sasuke's blood.

He obviously wanted to take good care of him, he had planned such a beautiful future, and he obviously didn't want the child to suffer any pain, but in the end, he was just a mortal with limited power.

There are too many things he can't do, so much helplessness and powerlessness.

Suddenly, a thought popped into Itachi's mind.

What about Sasuke?

If it was Sasuke, what would the kid do?

Probably hold your head high, unwilling to accept any helplessness and injustice in this world.Never tolerate, never compromise, and never back down.His younger brother was born with the courage to defy everything.If this world is deformed, then smash this world.

You must grow up, Sasuke.

Show the world your talent and courage.

I will wait for you at the end.

That year, Itachi was 13 years old.

"The Tsundere Observation Record Book" (also known as "The Daily Life of the Crazy Brother") by Weasel

Sunny April 6st

Konoha will ensure the healthy growth of Sasuke, and the guilt of the third generation will make more concessions to bring more convenience to Sasuke.

Uchiha Madara may promise not to shoot Sasuke, I will always stay by his side and monitor him.

These promises will remain in effect as long as I live.

I won't let Sasuke get any harm.

The author has something to say:

Alas, I really want to say that you brought all the damage, Brother Itachi, the two brothers are the same, it's really annoying.

But brother Itachi is also suffering, and there is nothing it can do about the extermination of the clan, he has tried his best.

So that's it for Itachi's episode, and his episode is already very long, and the next step is Uncle Snake's final reveal.
