Brother, you are my jade - Asma of Hokage

In the room, under the dim light, Ah Yi played shogi by himself. In the two years since Asma left, when he was tired from learning ninjutsu, he went back to the room to play shogi by himself until late at night, just like Ah Yi. The day before Smart left was the same as when he played chess.

"Yu...what exactly do you mean?" Ayi played chess step by step, and this question came up again and again in his mind, "Brother Asma works beside the daimyo... how are you doing..."

"... Itachi, is he getting busier?" Suddenly thinking of something else, Ah Yi muttered to himself.

"Since he became a Chunin, he has been very busy, especially in the past six months since he joined Anbu. I haven't seen him for a long time..." A Yi has not fought or trained with Itachi for a long time.

A Yi recalled what Itachi said when he met Itachi for the last time: "A Yi, I have nothing to teach you, and you need to understand the rest."

At that time, Ayi noticed the change in Itachi, he couldn't explain it clearly, but he really felt that Itachi had changed.

Thinking of this, Ah Yi felt a little uneasy.If Itachi encountered a problem, would he be able to help him, but Itachi didn't say a word about it - did he not want to involve him in some incident, or did he think he was incapable of helping him?

A Yi continued to play shogi, but secretly made a decision in his heart.

"There will be no classes tomorrow, so I'd better go to Itachi and clarify."

So the next day, A Yi went to many places to look for Itachi, first to the ninja gathering place, then to the Hokage office to ask about Itachi's whereabouts, and then to Uchiha's security office until——

A Yi came to the street where the Uchiha clan in the village lived, and all the Uchiha clan in the village lived here.

This is Ayi's first time here.As he was walking, Ah Yi suddenly froze.

"Why does it feel so strange around here? Why does it feel like a headache."

At this moment, some extremely fragmented images suddenly appeared in A Yi's mind - a huge noise appeared in his mind, the outline of a huge monster, and the fragmented surroundings, and then - brother Asma holding the young running by yourself? ...But Ah Yi's head hurt more and more, and the pain was so painful that he couldn't think anymore.

A Yi covered his forehead, but suddenly had a thought: "I...could I have been from the Uchiha clan before?"

But soon he denied it again: "...Impossible, the Uchiha clan are all good at fire escape, and I am a wind escape ninja, so I don't know how to fire escape at all... Besides, Uchiha is famous for sharing eyes, and I I can’t see it, so what if I’m Uchiha—anyway, I’m Sarutobi Tsubasa now, and I have a great brother, so what happened in the past?” Thinking of this, Atsuba began to look forward to Asma’s brother come back quickly.

A Yi continued to walk like this, and actively expanded his perception range, trying to find Itachi's breath, but heard the surrounding residents talking about a strange thing.

"I heard that Zhishui committed suicide by throwing himself into the river yesterday..."

"Really? That 'Stopping Water' would kill himself, I can't believe it!"

……

"'Shisui of Instantaneous Body'? Is it Uchiha Shisui, the genius ninja of the Uchiha clan mentioned by Itachi? I remember that Itachi always admired him every time he mentioned Shisui, so A powerful ninja would throw himself into a river?"

Ah Yi was wondering, but noticed a strong murderous aura in the yard not far ahead.

It's just that this murderous look...is actually Itachi's!

Ah Yi immediately became uneasy, he could immediately identify the identity of a person by his breath, but he had never seen Itachi exuding such a strong murderous aura——Itachi, has it really changed?

Ah Yi walked closer cautiously, hiding his breath, leaning against the wall to eavesdrop on what happened in the courtyard.

"Just make it clear. Do you suspect that I did it!?" Itachi angrily opened Sharingan facing the three Uchiha tribesmen who came to find fault.

The three Uchiha clansmen also opened Sharingan, and the conflict was on the verge of breaking out.

But almost in an instant, the three Uchiha tribesmen were knocked down by Itachi.

"Is this the strength of Itachi after using Sharingan..." Seeing Itachi's real ability, Ah Yi was amazed.

"You guys, you don't know your own 'measures' at all, and you don't know my 'measures' at all, so you fell to the ground now... It is because you are sticking to your 'family' and 'name' that you are imprisoned. How foolish it is to overwhelm your ego's 'measures', and thus neglect something more important..."

Hearing Itachi's remarks, Ayi was surprised and speechless. He originally thought that he knew Itachi well, but he could feel that Itachi is almost like a stranger, aloof, cold, and even... cruel?But why, there is another feeling of disobedience?Is itachi really speaking the truth?

"Stop it! Itachi." Another man's voice came from elsewhere, it was Itachi's father Uchiha Fugaku.

"What's going on? Itachi, you've become more and more strange recently..." Fu Yue asked.

"Did Itachi really have these changes recently? Then what caused Itachi to change?" A Yi became more and more confused.

"I'm just carrying out my mission." Itachi replied without changing his face.

"Why didn't you participate in yesterday's rally?" Fu Yue continued to ask Itachi.

"...in order to be closer to the peak."

As soon as Itachi finished speaking, he suddenly took out a kunai, threw it at the wall, and stuck it on the wall above where A Yi was.

Ah Yi was in a cold sweat from being frightened. He almost thought that his whereabouts had been discovered, but soon confirmed that Itachi hadn't spotted him.

"My size... I am already desperate for this useless family!" Itachi continued to speak obscure and passionate words, but Ayi felt an inexplicable sense of disobedience in his heart. He thought Itachi seemed to have something else. reason.

"I've had enough, Captain, hurry up and arrest this guy!" The three of them had run out of patience with Itachi.

But a child's voice broke the almost unmanageable situation: "Stop it, brother!"

Itachi's younger brother Sasuke, who has been hiding in the house since just now.

Hearing Sasuke's pleading voice, Itachi's attitude changed 180 degrees in an instant, he immediately knelt down and apologized to the other party, his attitude was completely different from before.

"I didn't kill Shisui. For the words just now, I'm sorry...I'm really sorry, everyone." Saying this, Itachi bowed his head deeply, showing a sincere apology.

"... Itachi belongs to Anbu, we have no right to arrest her without Hokage-sama's order..." Fu Yue seemed to want to protect Itachi, but was unwilling to arrest him.

"Captain!" But the three Uchihas were clearly dissatisfied with Fuyue's actions.

"Forget me, please... forget it this time." Seeing this, Fuyue lowered his head and pleaded with them.

"...Okay then. We have other things to do, so let's go first." Seeing that they couldn't force it, the three had to leave angrily.

Fu Yue walked into the house and said to Itachi, "Itachi, you can come in too."

At this moment, Ah Yi noticed the change in Itachi's eyes. The chakra in the eyes became more and more strange and more dangerous, so dangerous that it seemed to be able to defeat everything.

"This, this is..." Ah Yi never thought that itachi's Sharingan has undergone new changes.

Is this... the new Sharingan?

After everyone had gone away, Ah Yi jumped into the yard just now, and touched the place on the wall where Itachi threw Kunai just now.

"This line pierced by Kunai is the symbol of the Uchiha clan...Itachi, do you want to break with the Uchiha clan? Is that what you said just now? But, the real reason...what is it?" In order to get closer to the peak', the more I think about it, the more strange it becomes..." Maybe it's just a subconscious thought, but A Yi's intuition told him that Itachi might have a deeper purpose.

A few days later, A Yi went to Itachi again, and he wanted to confirm something with Itachi.

"It's A Yi? I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing recently?" Itachi asked about A Yi's recent situation in a friendly manner.

"It's okay, it's just...Itachi, there is something I want to ask you." Seeing no one around, Ah Yi asked cautiously.

"Ok?"

"A few days ago, when you were at home, it seemed... that you had a conflict with three Uchiha people..."

A Yi's words immediately alerted Itachi, and his attitude immediately changed. He asked A Yi seriously: "Are you eavesdropping?"

"Yes, yes." Seeing Itachi's aura immediately changed, Ah Yi swallowed, and mustered up the courage to continue, "'In order to be closer to the peak', is this really your truth?"

"This has nothing to do with you." Itachi declared with a single word.

"...and at that time, your eyes..."

Before Ah Yi could finish speaking, there was a "bang", and he was pressed against the wall by Itachi's neck. He had already opened Sharingan, and he was full of murderous intent.

Ah Wing was so scared that he was sweating all over, Itachi... planned to kill him?

Itachi took out Kunai, pointed at A Yi's chest, and warned A Yi severely: "Forget about what happened that day, let alone tell anyone, otherwise..."

While warning, Itachi gently stabbed Kunai in A Yi's chest, blood flowed out.But after a while, Itachi put A Yi down, turned his back to A Yi and said, "Remember what I said just now." After finishing speaking, he left instantly.

When Itachi was gone, Ah Yi seemed to confirm one point: "No, Itachi, if you really did what you said that day, you should have killed me just now—if you were merciless even to your own family and came from the bottom of your heart. How can someone who wants to give up let go of me, a foreigner? So, you must have other reasons."

A Yi clutched the wound on his chest, and then did a simple treatment with medical ninjutsu. "Fortunately, the piercing was not deep, huh... I was reckless just now, if Itachi really killed me... then how should I explain to Brother Asma..."

The author has something to say: It seems that there are too many scenes in these two chapters... Alas, there are too many blanks in the past few years when Uncle Asma left, and I can't think of too many plots except the Itachi extermination...
