[Hokage] One tit for another

When I woke up again, I was lying in a tidy and simple room, which looked like the most ordinary hotel.The wooden windows were wide open, and the rain dripped on the window eaves, leaving a wet trace on the ground by the window.

The surroundings are very quiet, there are very few pedestrians on the street, but they just walk silently in the quiet sound of rain.

This is Yuren Village, the legendary Akatsuki's base.

I froze for a while, then slowly sat up.The wounds on my body have been healed, and there may be good medical ninjas to help. My wounds have healed more than half, only the special wound on the back of the neck is still festering, but it is no longer bleeding, and it has been wrapped tightly with gauze for several times. lock up.

There was a stack of brand new clothes at the foot of the bed. Apart from the simplest dark shirt, there was also a flowing robe with a black background and a bamboo hat.

"Kong Chen"'s ring was placed squarely on top of his clothes.

The world in front of me is still boring black and white, I am naturally not in a good mood, so I just put on those clothes with a cold face.The ring was so big and ugly that I stuffed it in my pocket and didn't even think about the possibility of wearing it on my finger.

There is nothing special about wearing Xiaopao, but the wide robe is not only suitable for flaunting in the wind, but also convenient for doing some sneaky tricks under the robe.Like Itachi, Xiaopao's collar can even cover half of his face.I shook my clothes and wanted to stand up the collar like itachi, but found that my Xiaopao was actually hooded, and it couldn't achieve the effect of standing up the collar at all.

... Could this be Akatsuki's new style?Protection from the rain?

Most formal companies and groups need uniform uniforms, so I still understand the significance of Xiaopao's existence.It's just that the bamboo hat really blocked the view, and the bell hanging on it jingled non-stop, so I simply threw it aside and walked out of the room.

As soon as I went out, I happened to bump into a circle mask. Ah Fei bounced around and looked around me, and said in surprise: "Isn't this Sasuke? You finally woke up, and you seem to be recovering well. What an amazing recovery ability." , We were all shocked when you were injured so badly."

"A Fei was scared to death, but I didn't expect your wound to heal after you slept."

It's not that Dashemaru made a fool of himself.

Although this self-healing ability has not had much side effects.

I ignored some noisy guy and went straight to the stairs and went downstairs.

"Hey, it's too much, don't pretend you can't see me. Although we are all newcomers, even if we join a second earlier, I am still a senior." Ah Fei complained a few half-truths, while catching up with me, He muttered non-stop, "Sasuke looks great in this robe. But what about your bamboo hat? Huh? Sasuke, you don't wear a ring. The ring is a very important keepsake. I don't even have a ring. I'll give it to you. talk……"

OK, very noisy.

Chirping like a sparrow, is that why he is called A Fei?

Just kill him?

I stopped abruptly and stared at him. Although he was wearing a strange swirl mask with only a small hole in his right eye, I don't know how much camouflage the mask played. You know, the shape of his mask makes me want to stick my finger through that little hole.

Maybe because he sensed my eagerness to move about that small hole, Ah Fei scratched his head and smiled sarcastically: "Aha, Sasuke, don't be so fierce..."

Ah Fei's voice gradually became smaller and smaller until it disappeared under my cold gaze.Under my gaze, he shrank back in fear, then jumped up suddenly, ran in front of me, and shouted, "Oh, that's right! Sasuke, our boss told you to go see him when you wake up." Woolen cloth!"

"I almost forgot, let's hurry up." A Fei was jumping not far in front of me, urging me.

...Forget it, now is not the time to think about this guy.

I gave a "tsk" and followed.

A Fei took me out of the hotel, all the way to a relatively closed cave.It is not so much a cave as it is a secret base hidden in the rocks.

It was very dark in the cave, only a little candle was flickering.

I followed Ah Fei to the innermost room, which seemed to be in a meeting. Ah Fei pushed open the door and barged in.The heavy stone door made a creaking sound, which seemed extremely abrupt in the silent base. For a moment, everyone in the meeting room turned their heads, and when they saw me, they were stunned in unison.

"Boss Payne, I brought Sasuke." Ah Fei said loudly.

All kinds of eyes focused on me, including cold sizing, naked contempt, and provocation.I also unceremoniously looked back one by one, while corresponding to the information I knew.

I don't know what kind of meeting is being held this time. More than half of Akatsuki's members have arrived, sitting at the long conference table, and Payne is sitting at the top of the long table.

I carefully identified the outlines of different people in the dark, but I couldn't make it too obvious that they would notice that I was half-blind.To be honest, the vigorous Chakra on them is more recognizable.

Orochimaru has perfect information on Akatsuki.

Jiaodu, who is old and loves money, I seem to have seen him in the underground exchange, but at that time he was not wearing a Xiaopao, and he was just carrying a bag of dripping bloody heads to exchange money.Next to him is Hidan, who joined after Orochimaru. His personality is unknown, and he only knows that he has an immortal body.

And there is Akatsuki's original member, Konan. According to Orochimaru, this only woman has an unclear relationship with the boss Payne.Absolutely...distinctive except for two giant aloe vera leaves.

Orochimaru's old partner and Dou's former master, Zixie, appeared here as an illusion. The huge puppet wrapped his body inside, and I could only see a blurry shadow.Orochimaru used his pockets to trick him before, and I don't know what kind of grudge and hatred there is between Orochimaru and Scorpion, but from what Orochimaru and I mentioned, Scorpion's body has a baby face... probably Orochi Maru's collection of pedophiles committed again?

Scorpion's new partner is named Didara, who also appears as an illusion, likes explosions, and has an unknown personality.

"Hmph, another kid with eyes. It looks really uncomfortable. I really want to blow him to pieces, um." Didara snorted angrily, and gave me a provocative look, and the illusion fluctuated.Perhaps it was the effect of the technique, there was a crackling noise in his voice, but the dissatisfaction could still be heard.

Great, now that the character is clear, he and Scorpion are a mindless and unhappy combination.

And is adding "um" at the end of a sentence a new habit?

I finally moved my eyes to the last two people.

Ghost shark, shark head, the shark muscle in the hand makes Shuiyue salivate.

...and ferrets.

He sat there quietly, not looking at me, as if he had merged into the darkness.

I deliberately didn't look at Itachi.

"I've heard from Ah Fei that you killed Orochimaru." Payne's voice echoed in the slightly empty conference room, "And the ring is also on your hand."

"Yes." I nodded.

Payne also nodded, as if he knew everything, and said briefly: "In this case, then you can take his original position. It's just that his original partner has a new partner, so you will be on the same team as A Fei for the time being." .”

"Okay!" As soon as Payne's voice fell, Ah Fei jumped up excitedly, "I also have my own team! And Sasuke looks very strong and reliable!"

"Why can even a kid join us now!" Didara retorted loudly, he pointed his finger at me, the phantom kept fluctuating, and the noise in his voice became more and more obvious, "He actually killed Orochimaru, who was supposed to be solved by me!" ! I will never forgive you!"

Who wants your forgiveness?

And how could a no-brainer kill Orochimaru.Although Orochimaru is weak, it can definitely crush you, a silly spore, in terms of IQ.

There are too many slots, I don't know where to start, it's better to ignore him.

Could it be that the person who made the bomb has the same temper as the bomb?Obviously this is the first time we met, but he looks brooding, as if the focus is all on my eyes?

... Is this another good thing Itachi did?

"Wow...Senior Didala is so scary." Ah Fei swished and hid behind me.

I had a headache, so I simply looked at Payne and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Hey! You actually..." Didara gritted his teeth and made a movement of rolling up his sleeves, but he obviously forgot that he was just an illusion and could do nothing at all.

"Ignoring me again... Ah Fei is so pitiful." Ah Fei said pitifully, holding his throat next to me.

Payne was suspicious for a while, and said slowly: "Since you are already a member of Akatsuki, let's sit down and have a meeting."

Payne's body is very strange, is it a puppet?

I sat in an empty seat thoughtfully, next to Kisame, when he saw me, he grinned and said, "Yo, we meet again, Brother Itachi."

Dead shark head!

I snorted with a stinky face as an answer.But Kisame didn't mean to argue with me.

Ah Fei leaned over to sit on the other side of me, swaying around dishonestly.

"Uchiha Sasuke..." The corner opposite me suddenly read my name in a vague way, "In the past two years, I have received a lot of A-level and S-level tasks, and my value in the underground exchange has already ranked 34th. The name. And the remuneration for the task is also the highest, ranking in the top ten."

"...Very valuable." Kakudo concluded softly, "More valuable than most of the people present."

"Cut." Didara snorted loudly, but he didn't know if it was because of Kakuzu's words, but he didn't say anything more after all.

The meeting continued, and Payne didn't shy away from me as a new member. They were indeed collecting tailed beasts, and they had already obtained a lot of information about tailed beasts.Didara and Scorpion are already on their way to capture Ichio, but apart from Jinchuriki who has definite goals like Ichio, there are still some unidentified ones that need to continue to explore.

Xiao's activities have always been in groups of two, and Payne distributed the tasks step by step, and everyone seemed to be used to this method, and they all responded one by one.

Ah Fei rubbed back and forth beside me, like a monkey, never idle for a moment.

Both of us are new members... at least on the surface this masked man is.So this time we have no missions and are just on call.

Payne doesn't seem to be a talkative person. He issued orders very concisely, but he explained them very clearly. He gave instructions according to each individual's characteristics. He not only fully considered the feelings and wishes of the members, but at the same time, they were not open to comment. Leadership style.

In comparison, the person next to me...

I glanced at A Fei, and he immediately sat upright like a little chick.

The meeting ended in a dull and quiet atmosphere. When I walked out of the cave, the rain was still falling. Akatsuki members left in groups of two, and A Fei surrounded me making noise.

Itachi and Kisame walked in front of me, Itachi seemed to have not seen me at all, leaving only an indifferent back.

I ignored Ah Fei and followed closely.

Maybe it heard my footsteps, Itachi paused, turned around slowly, and looked at me.His gaze was as deep and calm as stagnant water.He looked at me like he didn't care about me at all.

By the dim light in the rain, I saw the ferret.

I shouldn't have seen it so clearly, but maybe, I am so familiar with the person in front of me, I can almost outline every point of his outline with my eyes closed. See his appearance clearly.

Itachi's hair was a little long, and it hung quietly on the side of his face. The ninja didn't care about such a little rain, and the rain flowed down his cheeks with meandering water marks.Three years have passed, if there was still a bit of round baby fat on his face before, but now he has completely lost weight, and his youthful face has faded, showing cold and hard lines.

He is taller and thinner.

His face was a little dark, his lips were slightly pale, and he didn't know if it was because of the rain or something else.

My heart skipped a beat. At this moment, I couldn't tell what it was like, but there was a terrible and suffocating breath that enveloped me, pressing heavily on my heart.

My eyes burned, snowflake-like data swarmed uncontrollably, and the complicated data and lines revolved around the ferret, like a blooming flower.

But the flower was fading, withering from the very edge of the petals.Black death climbed all the way along him, dyeing him a dirty black bit by bit.Death is like rotten black mud, pulling the blooming flower to the ground, eroding it wantonly, and then melting into a pool of blood.

In a trance, the rotten flower seemed to turn into a roaring beast, pounced on me, and would devour me in the next second.

I seemed to be thrown down by this vicious beast, and I took a step back.

How could this be? !

Itachi...

How could Itachi's body be so poor? !

It was obviously fine before, but it was only three years... How did he ruin himself?

Even if he uses the kaleidoscope Sharingan, it won't reach this point, unless...he keeps overdrawing his chakra and overuses Sharingan, leaving no time for his body to self-cultivate.

Excessive worry, irregular diet, chaotic work and rest, chakra in his body is like a bomb, constantly expanding and extinguishing, raging crazily.

Itachi's body is riddled with holes...

Because he never let go of his pain and sin every moment for three years, every second passed like atonement.

Itachi never takes care of itself.

What's more, he didn't want to live.

Obviously... Itachi is at the most vigorous and brilliant age, like a flower burning and blooming in the morning sun.

However, he locked himself in the darkness and withered silently.

Are all the bastards of the Uchiha family like this?Looking forward to death? !

Itachi can do things so terribly? !

He had already planned his own ending!I have long thought about atonement for the family!I have long wanted to die in my hands!

He doesn't want to live at all!

He's going to die in the end anyway, why don't you overdraw your life earlier and do more?He will die anyway, so he simply doesn't care about everything about himself, as long as he lives like a walking dead and completes his plan.

They are always like this!Always be such a jerk!

Shisui is too... Itachi is too...

When you want to die so simply, but never think about the possibility of living.Have they ever considered others? !Considering... me?

Uchiha Itachi, very good!

...Have you ever considered me?

You still have me, Itachi.

Before I knew it, my hands were clenched tightly, and my nails were deeply embedded in my palm.

It's as if everything is going away from me, breathing, heartbeat, feeling...

I just stood there straight up like a statue, but it was just a shell from which I broke away and floated in nothingness.

For a while, I couldn't think of anything else.

There is only one thought in mind.

Itachi is dying...

Itachi is dying...

Itachi is dying...

Because I missed three years.

I always miss, miss preventing Itachi from entering Anbu, miss his encounter with Shisui, miss Shisui's death...

I can never change anything, I can only watch others go to a dead end.

I want to watch Itachi die again.

And I didn't realize what I missed until three years later.

weasel...

The cold breath swelled from the bottom of my heart and spread rapidly.

I tried to push it back, but the chakra in my body was surging and scurrying around.

Suddenly, there was a burning pain in my chest.

"Pfft." I spat out a mouthful of blood, and my eyes turned upside down.
