Remnant bones

On the way to the Valley of the End in the east of Konoha, two dark figures quickly shuttled between the dense forests.

The animal-shaped mask had been discarded in some corner of the dead place for a long time, and itachi, who was dressed in Konoha Anbe's costume, did not leave the slightest trace of tears on his face.The indifference remained the same, the brows were furrowed tightly, but the tension and vigilance in the past were no longer there, and it was rare to relax.

With most of my face buried under the high collar, I silently followed beside him.It wasn't until those two familiar figures appeared in his field of vision that he suddenly said, "Itachi, I'm 'Xiao'."

"Hmm." Itachi responded in a low voice, without any surprise in his calm dark eyes.

He knew, from the moment he knew the existence of "Xiao", until he saw Zhishui with his own eyes, that black-bottomed red cloud windbreaker that he was familiar with.That was not the first time... As early as in the depths of the frozen Jedi, the person next to him used it as a cushion under him.

It was inconspicuous, but because of the absolute contrast with the pure white figure, he took a second look.It is also at this glance that the secret is no longer a secret.

"I have two tasks. One is to investigate the 'former Suzaku' and recover its ring; the other is to recommend a new successor to the 'Suzaku'." I was not surprised by the other party's knowledge, and I took care of myself explaining.

Lifting his feet and kicking on the protruding rock wall, the splashing water beside him brushed against the corners of his body, but it was like tears, leaving no trace.Lead him to the top of the huge stone statue on the left side of the waterfall, land and stop.Instead of speaking to the two who had been waiting there, I turned around, took out the ring I kept in my arms, and reached out to the slender figure with black hair: "Itachi, come with me."

Not asking, but inviting; not us, but me; not joining Akatsuki, but following me... I know, he will understand.

Do you want to? ... ferret.

"..." Looking at the ring silently, the dark marks on the simple ring have not completely disappeared.Itachi's eyes flashed countless complicated emotions that even he couldn't sort out at that moment, but in the end he withdrew his gaze, took a deep look at me, stretched out his right hand, and said in a low voice: "good."

He, willing.

Just like the sacred ritual that has nothing to do with it in this life, when you put it on with the hand, only Itachi can see it, with an uncontrollable smile, overflowing from the corners of your own lips.Let him turn his face away involuntarily, the roots of his ears under his temples are slightly red.

Under the silent oath, the bondage of the heart, I enlisted in Leng Yeli...that whisper that no one knows:——Hey, you will be happy...Itachi.

️

Kisame blinked his shark eyes, wondering if there was something wrong with his vision... Why did he always feel that the relationship between Sora Chen and that guy who was obviously Konoha Anbe was, so, weird?

It was as if he and they were people from two different worlds... Vaguely aware of something, Kirigakure Renren suddenly realized something and clapped his hands, looking at the two of them, there was a hint of ambiguity that only those who have been there can deeply understand.It turns out that these two guys~ hehehe, that guy Kong Chen is quite quick!

The tactful person didn't take the initiative to act as a light bulb, and Gui Shark stood aside with his chest folded. His smile, which was originally just a joke, looked extremely ferocious on that faint blue shark's face.But even so, this act of care, aside from looks, alone is enough to win favor with others for itself.

However, another person present was a negative case that was clearly the opposite.

"Oh oh oh oh~ you are the new 'Suzaku'? Look at your clothes, it is Konoha's Anbu! You are only at this age, so amazing~" Ah Fei, who had bright eyes, immediately forgot when he saw the person coming With his previous painful experience, he leaned forward unwaveringly, and yelled curiously: "That's right~ I'm Ah Fei, Akatsuki's alternate member, and please 'senior' give me some advice~"

The hand that fell into my palm couldn't help being slightly stiff at the moment when his words rose and fell.

Itachi seemed to have just noticed that someone else was present, he broke away from my hand, and stood aside as if avoiding suspicion, without answering.However, the pupils under the shadow of the long bangs contracted slightly uncontrollably when seeing Ah Fei, showing a faint reddening sign of turning into Sharingan, but he forcibly restrained it.

Even if they pretended not to know each other, he, who had long been used to hiding his emotions, could show such a reaction.I followed behind Zhishui and witnessed the scene of the three of them in the dense forest with my own eyes, so it was impossible for me not to notice the strangeness.

But now, it is obviously not the time to ask the other party... What's more, there is a "account" and I have to settle it with someone first.

The romantic atmosphere I created with painstaking efforts... can be regarded as abruptly ruined by this stupid kangaroo with no brains!Rubbing his forehead, bowing his head, sideways his face, the veins on his forehead twitched slightly, and the cold murderous aura instantly enveloped him, causing the surrounding temperature to suddenly drop below freezing point.

And the corners of his lips that seemed to be smiling but not smiling made the croaking sullen man silence for a moment, and he flew back several meters in cold sweat.

"A Fei." Just a thousand copies is not enough to solve the hatred in my heart at the moment.

Unlocking the long-sealed Demon Slaying Broadsword in the scroll, the wide and thick blade was quickly filled with wind attribute CKL, forming a layer of thin ice with a faint blue halo at a speed within reach of the naked eye.I waved the heavy blade with one hand, as if I couldn't feel the weight and was extremely flexible, and the deep knife marks left when I accidentally brushed against the ground made him swallow subconsciously.

I squinted my eyes, hooked the corners of my mouth with a half-smile, and said coldly: "3 minutes." I pray that you will not be missing an arm or a leg during these 3 minutes.

"Damn, ah, ah, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" The imprisonment was in place, and a bleak screaming immediately made a bleak scream: "Ghosts, life -saving ~ I don't want to make frozen pork ah ah ah ~ forgive me !!!"

The blue-faced traitorously turned a deaf ear and picked out his ears. Taking advantage of the time when a giant mouse was struggling to escape, he stepped forward and explained spontaneously to his future young partner who couldn't see the slightest expression on his face: " Don't worry about him, he won't die." If you disturb other people's two-person world, you will be struck by lightning~ He deserves it!

"'Nandou', dried persimmon, Kisame, Kisame's rebellion." Knocking on the forehead with a deep scratch on his forehead, Guisame introduced himself skillfully and succinctly: "Your future mission partner, please give me your advice. "It seems that he is a person who is very similar to Kong Chen, and he should be easier to get along with than Xie.

Sweeping across the incomplete forehead, Itachi, who originally wanted to imitate the other party's answer, opened his lips slightly, but did not make a sound.Subconsciously stroking his forehead, on the complete metal protective gear, the grooves that his fingertips passed formed the familiar pattern in his mind... a leaf with swirling patterns, the symbol of Konoha .

Betrayal, ah...

After all, from the moment he grasped the handle of the knife with his right hand, he was already Konoha's traitorous ninja, a traitor who didn't deserve to wear this forehead protection.

However, even though he had prepared for it, when the "reality" really came, in his eyes, everything that appeared in front of his eyes was still like that illusory and cruel image... He hoped it was fake, but it was just In an attempt to deceive myself.

There is nothing to hesitate... Itachi told himself this in his heart, deep in the black pupils, the loss surrounded by darkness can never be hidden from one person's eyes.What needs to be done has already been done, and now, it is just a scratch on the iron plate... Cutting that green leaf in two is like cutting off the fire of life of the clansman, there is no need to hesitate.

Just as he was about to reach out and take out Kunai, a cold wind blew across his forehead, peeling off a slipped black hair, and leaving behind a short but piercing sound: "呵——!"

Strangely, he didn't fight back or dodge in the slightest vigilance against this attack-like behavior. Itachi froze there, and after a while he raised his hand belatedly, catching the strand of black hair that fell to the palm of his hand.

Then, looking up at me, he was silent.

Standing in front of the slightly petite and slender figure in the shape of four people, I held up the big knife, with the tip of the knife wrapped in a thin layer of CKL wind blade, and gently pressed it in the middle of his brow.The eyes as white as jade stared at him for a while, and then said slowly and unhurriedly: "Sorry, slippery hands." So... accidentally scratched his forehead.

Not far away, the masked man who planned to take advantage of my distraction to escape from birth, heaved a sigh of relief secretly, and raised his foot, but another tragedy was staged-an upgraded version of the tiger landing pose. Five-body throwing pose.

"Painful Dongdong oh oh..." Ah Fei couldn't get up after slurring his words for a long time. Judging by his strong nasal voice, it was obvious that his nose hit the ground. To be correct, it was the mask on his face—— Typical self-inflicted.And at its ankle, an inconspicuous transparent silk thread is connected to the palm of my right hand holding the knife.

It didn't take 3 minutes, and it didn't take 3 minutes. I squinted at the kangaroo who couldn't make trouble in a short time, I put away the knife, and suddenly said inexplicably: "I am the alternate 'Ku Chen', Kaguya-kun Mai , a doctor in the land of water."

The words that sounded at dusk broke the air that seemed to be condensed at that moment.

Itachi's pupils shrank slightly, but the next moment, they returned to their previous tranquility and indifference.Turning his palm sideways, letting the strand of broken hair fall to another place, he took a deep breath, and replied in a cold voice: "'Suzaku', Uchiha Itachi...Konoha rebels."

As the sun rose at dawn, the smooth mirror surface reflected the dazzling halo, but it made the scratches crossing the center appear extremely clear.

Fell in the flames, and was reborn in the flames..."Suzaku", right?

Covering the bright sunshine on his head with his hands, wearing a black windbreaker embroidered with bright red eye-catching auspicious clouds, Itachi couldn't help squinting, looking into the distance in the thick green forest, welcoming the familiarity of another peaceful morning In the village, the satisfied but bitter smile that cannot hide the pain is fleeting from the corner of his lips.

Uchiha, the "Fire Clan" passed down from ancient times, has completed the final Nirvana by himself.However, it is up to you, Sasuke, whether to remain silent or to spread your wings and be reborn...

——"My most important thing, brother..."

The straight figure turned around and came to the side of the white-haired man without any hesitation, and gradually drifted away with his "companion" who was also homeless.

May the first ray of breeze in the morning after the rainy night that washes away the bloody smell, bring the murmured whisper to the ear of the person who misses it... That is the last sincere call of a brother.
