[Comprehensive] living to death

Rain falls from the sky.One drop, two drops...a winter rain begins.

Itachi looked up at the sky.

The cold rain fell on his forehead and cheeks, washing away the tiny blood stains.His chest rose and fell slightly, and the slender ninja knife in his hand also rose and fell, like a small wave in the rain.

The surrounding environment is in a mess: the trees are swaying here and there, and the ground is bumpy as if hit by a meteorite; several Konoha ninjas fell to the ground, still losing their vitality.In contrast, two members of "Xiao" have also been executed.The viscous black substance spread out on the ground, mixed with blood and rainwater, it was a monster raised by a man named "Jiaodu".This man with five hearts is not easy to deal with, but under the siege of Itachi, Shisui and Kakashi, death is his doomed end.

The medical ninja is treating, and the perception ninja is talking to Konoha headquarters.Itachi glanced at his companions, then at the dead Konoha ninja, and his disgust for "Akatsuki" resurfaced in his heart.He walked over, confirmed that the horns were dead, and picked the one that looked like a pitcher plant with a knife.

"What's the matter, Itachi?" Zhishui also came over, frowning, "This man..."

"Ah." Itachi replied, his expression unchanged, "The black part is gone; it seems to have escaped."

Being able to escape in front of the three elite Jonin, "Akatsuki" is really not an easy person.

Bang!

The two followed the prestige and saw Kakashi summoning his Ninja Dog.The puppy named "Parker" greeted them, shook his fur, sniffed the air with his nose, and began to look for something on the ground.After a while, it determined the place, circled around one, and beckoned Kakashi to pass.

"Although I only killed one enemy this time, it's not without other gains." The white-haired ninja knelt down, quickly forming seals with both hands, and saw a circle of runes appear on the ground, and then a fist-sized red spar appeared on the ground on the ground.

"Sure enough." Kakashi stood up holding the spar.

"Senior Kakashi, what is that?" Shisui asked.

"The companion stone of the 'Ten Directions Sealing Demon Formation' can record the fluctuations of all the chakras in the barrier. In this way, although I couldn't actually fight with other members of 'Xiao', I also got some information." Kaka Xijiang included the stone in his bag, "This is just an idea when developing the 'Ten Directions Sealing Demon Formation', I didn't expect it to be made by that guy."

That rascal?Itachi looked over sensitively.

"Really? Sure enough, Mingyue is very powerful." Zhishui said with a smile.

But his smile concealed a shadow, Itachi was sure of that. "Shishui, where is my sister?" he asked.

"Mingyue..." Zhishui hesitated for a moment, and told the truth, "Actually, I don't know what her specific mission is. But before You Itachi came, she went to track down the leader of 'Akatsuki'."

The leader of "Xiao"?In other words, Zhishui didn't know the exact whereabouts of her sister.Itachi had to suppress the doubts in his heart and nodded.

"Kakashi-senpai!"

The perception ninja responsible for communicating with Konoha called out.

"Confirm that the statue is the 'Heretic Golem'! Hokage-sama asked us to temporarily seal the Golem and return to Konoha immediately."

It has to be said that although he had rebelled against the village for two years, he also brought back a lot of valuable things.Kakashi remembered that Mingyue once laughed at Obito, saying that he went out to work as an undercover agent for Konoha, and Obito was so aggrieved that he could not speak.

"Let's go." Kakashi said.As the oldest ninja here, he naturally assumed the role of captain.

Itachi glanced around.Within the range of his perception, no less than ten people were running fast in all directions.He didn't give chase, because those were ninjas from other villages; Itachi wanted them to report back information about the battle.By now, he has understood that the biggest purpose of this battle is not "Akatsuki" itself, but to deter other villages - while demonstrating Konoha's strength, he also warns other villages not to think about secretly cooperating with "Akatsuki" song.

The perceiving ninja who had been prepared for a long time stepped forward and sealed the golem with the sealing scroll prepared in advance.Jiaodu's corpse was also sealed into the scroll; the existence of such five hearts is of great research value.

After cleaning up, the Konoha ninjas disappeared into the forest.

Dongyu cannot be an obstacle for ninjas.The ferret stepped on one wet tree branch after another, letting the hanging vines and aerial roots brush past his ears.

wow.

There was a sudden crackling sound; Itachi stopped.A drop of rain fell on his eyelashes.Itachi blinked and looked down.

"Itachi, what's wrong?" Zhishui asked concerned.

"...the necklace..." Itachi hesitated, "broken."

There was only a little end left at the place where the light blue crystal was originally, and the rest was suddenly broken just now, fell on the tree trunk under his feet, and rolled down into the mud below.

"Really." Shisui was also a little puzzled, but he didn't care too much, "It must have been damaged during the battle just now, right? Don't worry, Itachi." He knew Itachi took this very seriously, so he patted his friend on the shoulder, " Go back and ask Mingyue to send you ten more."

If you really wear ten strips, you will be laughed to death by your sister.Itachi thought so, but there was a little smile in his eyes.

"Ah."

The figures of the ninjas gradually disappeared in the depths of the forest.

It's still raining.

******

Minato heard the cry of a goshawk.His Anbu emerged from the shadows and reported to him: "Master Hokage, that is Captain Mingyue's psychic beast."

Fourth stood up, walked over and opened the window.The eagle swooped down from a high place, turned back suddenly when it was about to hit the glass window, and circled for a circle.Minato reached out and caught the scroll dropped by the eagle.He looked at the scroll in his hand, understood something, and his expression became sad.

Mingyue's ninja landed on the window sill, her sharp eyes became a little tired from the long flight.Facing Hokage of Konoha, it lowered its head.

"The headquarters of 'Akatsuki' is located in Yuren Village, and the identity of the leader Payne is indeed Nagato. Mingyue-sama sealed Nagato and the other two with the 'Earth Explosion Star', but it is not sure whether the seal was successful. All the battle images are recorded in In the eyes of your lord..." Ninja paused, and tears flowed from his eyes, "My lord hopes that after Hokage-sama inspects it, he can hand over the eyes to Shisui-kun, and let Shisui-kun pass it on to her younger brother Itachi-kun."

Mingyue didn't make it so clear before his death, but Ninja Eagle was very sure of what the master meant.It knew that its master was afraid that Itachi-kun would not accept it, so it asked Shisui-kun to do this.

It is also a psychic beast, the eagle is not called a "fairy", and naturally it is not that powerful.Yet its intellect and emotions are indistinguishable from those of humans.

"Really..." Minato's eyes became even more sad, "Are you sure that Mingyue died in battle?"

Eagle buried his head deeply, "Yes."

The fourth generation was silent for a long time, bowing its head in silence.All Anbu members hiding in the shadows bowed their heads - for their captain who died in battle.There were even unknown crushes who gritted their teeth and tried hard to hold back the tears in their eyes.

Mingyue's secret mission was decided by her and Minato.Konoha has been thinking about countermeasures since knowing that the enemy has the eyes of reincarnation; finally they decided that the best way is that Konoha also has a pair of eyes of reincarnation.This is possible, because Nagato's Sharingan was obtained from Uchiha Madara, so why can't Mingyue who also has Kaleidoscope Sharingan and Uchiha's blood?

So according to the contents of the underground stele at Nanga Shrine, Mingyue accepted the transplantation of cells between the pillars (Oshemaru had not defected at that time), but nothing changed.It wasn't until a year ago that she started to open the eyes of reincarnation.But the eyes of the immortal consume more chakra than the kaleidoscope, and the bright moon cannot last long.

This time, the task Minato gave her was to let her find out Payne's strength as much as possible, but she didn't expect...

"I see." Minato said, "Konoha will not disappoint Mingyue's victory in exchange for her life."

Regarding Payne's fate, Konoha will confirm clearly.No matter what Akatsuki's goals are, Minato will not let them succeed.

But the fourth generation then smiled wryly again. "Itachi will be sad...and Sasuke," he said, "my son Naruto will be sad too."

"When are you going to tell Itachi-kun the news?" Ninja asked.

"Wait until the battle images are extracted." Minato said, "I will go to Fuyue's house in person and tell them the news."

Ninja stared directly at the fourth generation. "I'm not interested in your human affairs." It said in a very stubborn tone, "However, Master Mingyue asked me to comfort her younger brother Itachi-kun before he died, so..."

The eagle flapped its wings and flew to the blue sky again.

"...At that time, I will trouble you to transfer my contract to Itachi-kun, please."

The sky above Konoha was clear without any haze.But in the sky, clouds are gathering and flowing towards Konoha.

got windy.

******

It has been cloudy for several days, and the days are getting darker and darker.

"Is it going to rain?"

Sasuke looked up at the sky and saw that the clouds were so close to him, as if they would drop down in the next second.

"No, no, no!" Naruto said confidently, "The weather has been like this for the past few days! Never mind that, Sasuke, you haven't said anything about my new Kunai yet!"

He deliberately brought the ninja tool in his hand to the tip of Sasuke's nose, his expression and movements were full of showing off.Sasuke pursed his lips, took a look, and found that it was indeed a beautiful and sharp kunai, and it was a specially customized three-pronged kunai.

"How about it, isn't it beautiful!" Naruto was extremely proud, "My father gave it to me!"

Although he occasionally complains that Hokage's father is too busy, Naruto is actually very proud of his father.

"It's okay." Sasuke raised his chin, "I still prefer the bow and arrow my sister gave me, and the set of shurikens my brother gave me!"

"...It's great to have a sister and a brother." Naruto resentfully said, puffing up his cheeks, then puffed out his chest happily after thinking about it, "Sister Mingyue still wants to marry me!"

Sasuke looked at his little friend with a mentally retarded look.

"Are you an idiot, Naruto?" he said, "My sister is joking!"

One of the daily routines of children is to compete with their parents and siblings, arguing about whose family members are more powerful, who is more favored at home, and so on.And Sasuke not only has parents, but also an older sister and an older brother; against Naruto, who has only one younger sister, Sasuke naturally won a complete victory.

"It's almost time, let's go home." Sasuke was satisfied, smiling like a proud cat.

"It's still early..." Naruto muttered, "Sasuke, you are such a good baby!"

"You bastard." Sasuke sighed maturely, "Didn't you say that Aunt Kushina would beat you into a pig's head if you came home late?"

Naruto made a face at Sasuke, but when he thought of his mother who was called "Blood Red Pepper", he immediately became obedient.

"Okay, see you tomorrow, Sasuke!"

Saying goodbye to his friends, Sasuke walked out of the park in the middle of the street.He looked at the sky and still thought it would rain, so he quickened his pace and finally ran.Little boys are so energetic, and Sasuke is no exception.

The old grandpa and grandma who opened the fruit shop at the gate of the clan were closing the stall, and when they saw Sasuke, they gave him a bag of tomatoes.Sasuke was a little embarrassed, but his sister said not to always reject other people's kindness, as long as he is good to others, so he happily accepted it.

"Mom, I'm back!"

"Sasuke is back! Can you come over and help mom get something?"

Mother's voice came from the courtyard.Sasuke responded, put down the tomato, ran to the yard, and saw his mother collecting clothes to dry.

"Here, take this." Miqin handed some clothes to the youngest son, patted his head, "Thank you Sasuke."

"No, that's what I should do." Sasuke replied like an adult.He looked up at his mother's gentle smiling face, thought for a while, and asked, "Mom, when will sister come back?"

I haven't seen my sister for two weeks.Obviously my elder brother is also a jonin, but my elder brother also said that he didn't know when my elder sister would come back.

"...Yeah, when are you coming back?" Mikoto murmured softly, a little worried, but tried her best to comfort Sasuke with a smile, "It must be soon. Sasuke's older sister is a very powerful jonin, you have to complete the mission first go home."

"Oh..." Sasuke gave a long answer, "Brother said the same thing."

Miqin felt that she couldn't pass on her negative emotions to her children, so she tried her best to smile happily. "Ah, does Sasuke miss his sister?" She joked, "Mingyue must be very happy to know."

"What, what! Mom, you really... I'm not a child anymore!" Sasuke was really shy all of a sudden, and said awkwardly, "I just... just have a new ninjutsu I want to show my sister!"

"Yeah~" Meiqin looked up at the sky, "Ah, it's going to rain soon, I need to put these away quickly."

Sasuke helped bring clothes, sheets, etc. into the house, and watched his mother fold them one by one.At this time, there was a sound of opening the door from the entrance.

Sasuke's eyes lit up and he ran over quickly.The corridor was trampled by him, just as he was full of anticipation.Turning a corner, Sasuke saw the figure of his brother Itachi.

It's not my sister...but he is also very happy when my brother is back!

"Brother! You're back!"

He happily ran over, trying to hold his brother's hand as usual, and then he froze.The elder brother who was always calm, calm, and always calm in the impression was pale at this moment, his eyes were straight, and his body was even trembling slightly.He looked as if he had just witnessed something terribly horrible, and every breath was imbued with an oppressive emotion.

The young Sasuke didn't know what "despair" was.

"Brother... what's wrong with you?"

Sasuke was suddenly a little afraid of such an older brother, and timidly let go of his hand.

boom-

There was the sound of thunder outside.

Itachi's throat rolled, and his eyes slowly moved to the younger brother in front of him.

"Sasuke..."

His voice was hoarse than ever.

"Sasuke? Who's back... Itachi?" Mikoto walked out of the back room, paused, a little surprised, "Fourth generation?"

Only then did Sasuke discover that there was a blond-haired, blue-eyed uncle behind his brother.He knew this man, Naruto's father, and Konoha's Hokage.However, this uncle who used to always smile now has a very serious expression.

"What's the matter?" Meiqin came over, put her hand on the young son's shoulder lightly, and asked a little uneasily.

Minato didn't answer in a hurry, but looked inside, sighed secretly, and asked, "Has Fuyue not come back yet?"

"No," Mikoto replied subconsciously, "Not yet..."

She noticed the strange expression on the eldest son's face, and her uneasiness grew stronger and stronger.

Just as he was talking, another voice came from behind the water gate.

"What's the matter? Why are you standing at the door?"

Fugaku, who was wearing a dark green vest and a "Security Team" armband on his arm, looked at them suspiciously, and then looked at Minato. "Four generations look at the humble house, what's your business?" He asked politely, entered the house, and closed the door.

boom.

There was another muffled thunder.

Minato opened his mouth, finding it difficult to speak.Although he has been a ninja for so many years, every time he faces his family members, he feels guilty and sad from the bottom of his heart.

But the news has to be told.

"I'm sorry, but Mingyue..."

"do not talk!"

Itachi suddenly let out a low growl!

The other three all opened their eyes wide.

"...It has been confirmed that he died in the mission."

"..."

wow.

The wind whipped up the fallen leaves and stuck them against the doors and windows.

High-pitched cries.

clap clap...

Konoha's winter rain finally fell.
