Remnant bones

In the darkness, two figures, one black and one white, stood side by side, without a face to be seen, but Sasuke knew who it was...

"Brother? And, Brother Jun Mai..." He took a few steps forward, but strangely found that there was no sign of progress, so he had to stand where he was, and asked from a distance: "What are you doing? And where is this place?" ?” How could he be here... so dark.

The backs of the two whispering, paused slightly, then turned their heads to look at him.

The blood-like bright red Sangouyu Sharingan, and a pair of golden and silver monster pupils stared at him coldly and without emotion. His lips twitched, as if he was saying something, but there was no sound. Little noises.

In the black enclosed space, it was eerily quiet.

"What are you talking about...I can't hear you!" Anxiety slowly climbed up his back along with the chill, Sasuke pulled the corner of his clothes tightly in some helplessness, and shouted in a panic: "Brother, sir Mai-san! I can’t hear what you guys are talking about!? What’s going on here?”

The two people on the opposite side didn't seem to be as troubled as he was.I saw them looking at each other, and they didn't continue to act as if they wanted to tell him something. Instead, the black-haired boy he was familiar with took out a sharp short knife that reflected the cold light from his waist, without warning. , suddenly pierced the abdomen of the person next to him.

The bright red blood immediately smeared on the pure white clothes.

"Brother!? What are you doing!!!" Eyes widened in disbelief, Sasuke couldn't believe what he saw... Brother, actually killed brother Mai?

"Why did you do this...why!? Brother, what's wrong with you?" Struggling to rush over, however, an invisible force imprisoned him there, unable to move at all: "Brother Jun Mai! You What's the matter!? Answer me..."

Itachi let go of the hand holding the knife, put his arms through the opponent's armpit, and encircled his upper body, letting the blood pour down like a spring, staining the ground red.

The long and slender neck is held high, like a dying swan, and the graceful arc is full of lifelessness.The strange-colored demon pupils lost their original brilliance and were shrouded in a faint layer of dark gray, hollow and out of focus.However, facing Sasuke's shout, he seemed to be aware of it, and slowly leaned over there.

"Brother Jun Mai!" Sasuke shouted excitedly, but did not get the slightest response.

Just glanced at him, Jun Mai turned his head with the last of his strength, held the black-haired boy's cheek with both hands, slowly lowered his eyes, and said something while his lips moved slightly.Immediately, within a short time, both arms drooped, and there was no more...no sound.

With his head lowered, the arms surrounding the limp body tightened even more.The long bangs covered all of Itachi's expressions, and what Sasuke could see, except for the blood red missing from the cracks, was only the falling drop of crystal shining in the darkness.

"Brother...you killed him...you killed him! Why! Why did you do this!?" The stimulation of the death of someone close to him made him unable to pay attention to the weirdness of that trace of unusualness.Sasuke cried and struggled, but was pulled further and further away by that invisible powerful force: "Why... brother!!!"

In an instant, the dazzling sunlight broke through the darkness in front of him, and the familiar wooden ceiling came into view again.

"Huh...huh..." Panting heavily, Sasuke sat up, his pajamas soaked in cold sweat, sticking to his body.

Yes, is it a dream...?

It seems a little hard to believe that the realistic image is just a false fantasy in my dream.He jumped out of bed suddenly, put on a coat hastily, and ran out of the room, towards the backyard.

"Sasuke? You little slob, you're only getting up now..." When passing by the restaurant, Mrs. Weiqin smiled and opened the mouth while filling the meal, but seeing her rushing through the corridor in a ignorant manner, he couldn't help but look down. Puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Arriving at the destination at his fastest speed, looking at the ordinary plain door, a trace of uneasy fear flashed in Sasuke's eyes.

"Shua——" opened the door of my brother's room, and the room was so clean and tidy that there was no trace of someone living there.

Before he had time to catch his breath, he came to the next guest room, and after opening the door again, he got the same result... No one, no one was at home.

Such an answer made the panic in his heart intensify. Sasuke walked back slowly in a panic, until he bumped into his mother who was chasing after him because of worry, and then he woke up.

"What's the matter, Sasuke? What happened?" Mrs. Miqin asked worriedly, the appearance of my son just now was really abnormal.

"Ah, no, it's nothing..." Smiling hurriedly, Sasuke scratched his head to cover up, and said, "Where is that mother, brother and brother Jun Mai?"

"Huh? Itachi said today that he had a mission. He went out early in the morning, and he might not be able to return until tomorrow. And Kaguya-kun also said that he had something to do when it was approaching noon, and he would not come back for dinner at night. What do you want from them? Is it?" Madam Weiqin breathed a sigh of relief, wiped her hands with her apron, and got up to answer.This little guy has been very attached to that young wandering doctor lately~

"Then, did Brother Jun Maiyi say where he was going?" My mother definitely didn't know where my brother was going on a mission, but if it was someone else... Maybe I could know if they went out together.

"It seems to be looking for your brother's colleague, at the east end of the village...Okay, he's business, just be obedient and honest for a day!" She smiled and pushed his back, urging: "Now , go change your clothes, and make up for your late lunch~ Also, your father and I have something to do in the evening, and we won’t be back until very late. The dinner is ready and put in the kitchen, and you can heat it up before eating. If you’re bored, you can spend the night with Yahiko who is branched out, I’ve already told his father about it.”

"Oh..." If you stay overnight, the brother's mission should be outside the village... As long as they don't meet, there should be nothing wrong.Heaving a sigh of relief, Sasuke wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.By the way, father and mother also have something to do at night?Was it the "party" they were talking about...

Unable to help being curious, he parted his lips slightly, and was about to ask his mother in front of him, but he remembered Brother Jun Maiyi's warning last night.

Forget it... not bad for such a time.After hesitating for a while, compared with letting the other party leave early, the so-called "secret meeting" by the adults seems to be less interesting than imagined.He finally chose to give up, just like his mother said, just be honest for a day~

Only at this time did he notice the setting sun in the sky, that fire-like beautiful red, as if burning all over the sky.

Although it was a holiday today, he never thought that he would sleep so late.Not only did I fall asleep in this rare vacation, but I also had a very annoying dream... bad luck~ recent luck is really bad!Frowning, Sasuke followed his mother and went back to his room.

Let's go to Yahiko to play chess at night~ Speaking of which, last time it seemed like four wins, four losses and three draws... This time, we must decide the winner!In a blink of an eye, he forgot the unhappiness left in his mind, and the little guy quickened his pace excitedly.

A black figure with a beast-shaped mask suddenly appeared on a branch in the middle of a big tree.

Using the dense branches and leaves to hide his body shape, Anbu secretly uses the hand mirror as a medium to observe the surrounding environment.After making sure that there was no one else besides the figure in the middle of the bridge not far away, he jumped down from the treetops and approached slowly without letting down his vigilance.

On the bridge, the black-haired young man seemed to be completely unaware of the approach of the other party. He looked at the clear water surface leisurely, humming his favorite ditty in a low voice, as if he was leisurely doing a mission.Except for the eye-catching black-bottomed red cloud trench coat on his body, no one would be able to connect this handsome young man who loves to smile with that dark organization known for its S-rank rebellion.

In particular, the people around him who are most familiar with him... are even more unimaginable.

"Hey~ Itachi, I thought you wouldn't come." Without looking back, the black-haired young man smiled lowly, and suddenly said, "If I remember correctly, there is a party today, right?"

Behind him, the lone Anbu wearing a mask paused.

Slowly took off the disguise on his face, which was no longer useful at all, revealing the pale and indifferent face, Itachi said coldly; "Uchiha-Shisui, I didn't Go, didn't you go too?"

"You can't say that~ I'm on a mission, so of course I have a reason to leave." He tugged on his windbreaker, the one who shouldn't have appeared here, shouldn't have dressed like this, shouldn't have participated in all of this Shishui turned around, smiled lazily as usual and said, "I'm on business leave."

At most, it's just like this, just coming out during the mission.

"Everyone in the Uchiha clan has no mission today." For this pre-action mobilization meeting, almost all adult clan members who are eligible to participate gathered in that place.All clan tasks were suspended, and even the police force only left a few low-level clan members to confuse Konoha's high-level eyeliners.

Itachi, who mainly notified the dispatched personnel, couldn't be more clear.

"So, my current identity...is 'Xiao'." Zhishui scratched his head, and smiled embarrassedly: "Speaking of which, You Itachi, you don't know~ Keke, I am the code name of 'Xiao' [ The members of Suzaku are here today to carry out the tasks assigned by the organization." After finishing speaking, he waved the ring with the word "Zhu" on his hand as a signal.

"..." Sure enough, huh... undetectable pain flashed in his eyes.

The black eyes twisted like a stone falling into a deep pool, and were gradually covered by bright red blood, and three faintly visible black hook jades were spinning rapidly.Staring fiercely at the other party with those cursed blood-red eyes, Itachi pulled out the sword on his back and said without emotion: "I am also here to perform the task, as Anbu."

Instead, Uchiha.

"Haha~ What a coincidence~ Then, can you let me guess what your mission is? Maybe our mission is the same." In the blink of an eye, Zhishui appeared behind him, Rubbing his chin with his hands, he muttered pretending to think: "Well, let me think about it... monitor the movement of the Uchiha clan gathering? No, the meeting place is not here, and you know it. Then, it is to find out the foreign nationals called by the elders. The gathering location of the tribe? This is possible. After all, I am responsible for this aspect. Of course, I cannot be so sure based on this conjecture alone. Maybe there are other reasons—for example: because of the legendary pair of... "

"'The strongest eye'?" Suddenly approaching the other party's ear, Shishui squinted his eyes, contrary to his appearance, he said in a cold and ruthless tone, "'Kaleidoscopic Sharingan'..."

The cold blade brushed across the opponent's cheek and cut across it, bringing with it a slightly fishy-sweet breeze.

"Should I congratulate you...'You got it right'?" Looking at the black-haired young man in front of him who had no intention of dodging, Itachi raised the corners of his lips mockingly, and said coldly.

"You should congratulate me~ I didn't expect that you would choose me." Gently pushing away the iron-silver metal that was close at hand, Zhishui smiled brilliantly, but he didn't have the fake gesture before. The joy in my heart: "Can I understand that in your heart, you still attach great importance to me...'kill your most important companion', the most important companion...haha!"

"It's just, it used to be." That gorgeous smile was so brilliant that people couldn't look directly at it.Itachi couldn't help closing his eyes, just to hide the pain that was almost overflowing at that moment.It is precisely because of "importance", so, for the sake of strength... Now he can only give up.

Using the blood of his soul as a sacrifice, summoning demons with tears of despair, in order to get rid of this cursed fate, he decided to give up everything he once had.Cut off this evil inheritance with my own hands, even if these hands are destined to be stained with blood, even if the soul is destined to sink into the abyss, even...even if... destined to be hated by the person I love the most all my life.

He has no possibility of turning back, he can only move forward.

"I'm sorry..." Mosquito-like whispers drifted away with the wind, Itachi stared at Shisui, pointing his sword at him: "Anbu'Kamohuo', was ordered to kill Konoha Renren—Uchiha Shisui."
