[Naruto Storyline] Wandering

Chapter 18 The Kingdom of Fire Chapter 09

Sasuke doesn't like to expose his heart to others. He is used to suffering and suppressing everything by himself, and this has not changed even after marrying Haruno Sakura.Obito's visit made him feel upset. The hatred for Itachi had been deeply rooted in his mind, which was the driving force that drove him to keep climbing. Itachi's memory overturned.

Sasuke locked himself in the room, and he kept flipping through the old photos, which were the only memories he snatched from the Uchiha mansion.In the photo album, Sasuke drew big crosses on the faces of all Itachi, which was the only way he could vent his anger. "Even if you killed your father and mother because of unspeakable difficulties, I still can't forgive you." Sasuke said in a low voice looking at the photos marked with crosses by marker pens.

He put down the photos in annoyance, and then put the photo album that he had flipped through many times back into the back of the cabinet. ——The visit of Obito made Sasuke start to doubt what the truth is, but he also suddenly realized that even the same thing, described from different people and different angles, will become a different truth.

It was deep winter in Konoha at this time, several snowfalls, and a hard layer of ice formed on the streets, the government had to dispatch deicing vehicles to maintain traffic safety.Sasuke opened the door and stuck his head out. The cold air outside made him shiver uncontrollably. He raised his head and looked at the dark gray cloudy sky, where snowflakes were falling one after another.

It's just that he stayed in the house for two days, but Sasuke felt that these two days seemed like a world away. It wasn't until the moment he opened the door that he returned to the real world.

In the past two days, while recalling what Obito said, he also recalled the scene of the night when the Uchiha clan was exterminated. The memories that he couldn't bear to face were like being pressed the loop playback button, scrolling back and forth in his mind.It was only then that Sasuke discovered that when he was 14 years old at the time, facing the blood-stained Itachi, his fear was greater than his rationality, so that all his impressions of the night of Uchiha's genocide were nothing but Itachi holding Indra's blade and Gun His mother's head fell at his feet, and he couldn't remember any other details.

If the truth is as what Obito said, Sasuke couldn't imagine what kind of mood Itachi had in cutting off his mother's head. He tried to understand Itachi's position and heart at that time, but he finally found that he couldn't do it.Even the current self can't swing a knife at the person he loves the most in exchange for the stability of Konoha, and Itachi was just a 19-year-old boy at that time.

Although Sasuke has to admit that Itachi is the strongest and gentlest person he has ever met, he still can't believe that the 19-year-old Itachi has the consciousness to sacrifice everything for Konoha.Therefore, Sasuke's heart was shaken by the truth told by Obito, but it was far from enough to eliminate his hatred for Itachi. He frowned and decided to learn more about Itachi and the Uchiha extermination through his own channels .

Tiny snowflakes fell on Sasuke's hair and the tip of his nose, like a mother's gentle hands brushing his hair and face.

Christmas is approaching, the shops on the street are beginning to hang Christmas-like decorations, and the sound of hymns can be heard in the church in Konoha Center. Sasuke doesn’t believe in God, but he still stops and looks inside the church. The children in the choir wore pure white robes and sang to their gods. The colorful inlaid glass above the church cast all kinds of light. Under the huge statue of the Virgin Mary in front of you is the crucified Jesus, bearing the burden of the world. suffering.

Sasuke stared blankly at Jesus on the cross for a long time, and then his eyes fell on the military office building not far away—after the third and fifth generations were wiped out, there were only a few high-ranking Konoha members who participated in the Uchiha extermination and knew the truth. There are few, and Danzo, who is sitting in the building at the moment, is the only person Sasuke knows who is at the heart of the truth.

"Is Sasuke Uchiha in a stable state during this time?" In the office, Danzo asked Shin, who has been in charge of monitoring Sasuke, and Shin is also a member of Anbe.

The letter replied: "After Haruno Sakura left, Uchiha Sasuke's condition has been stable, but..."

"Just what?"

"Not long ago, an unidentified man came to visit Sasuke Uchiha, and his subordinates could not find any information about that person. Anbu tried to intercept that person, but failed, and that man seemed to have a certain relationship with Akatsuki. Relationship, after Konoha’s Anbu failed to intercept him, we sent screenshots of his video to various border garrisons, and the news we received was that the man appeared in the land of fire and the land of rivers three days after he left Konoha. The border, and got the support of Akatsuki's members, and went to the direction of the rain country. But we can be sure that the man is not Uchiha Itachi." Xin said, "After that man visited, Uchiha Sasuke often appeared near Uchiha's old house, and he also asked Uzumaki Karin to retrieve the files of the Uchiha clan."

Danzo nodded thoughtfully: "About that man, if there is video material, please submit it to me as soon as possible."

"The subordinates understand." Xin said.

"You continue to monitor Sasuke, if necessary, I will see him." Danzo frowned tightly, motioning for the letter to leave first.

"The subordinate will leave." After the letter finished, he silently exited Danzang's office.

Danzo looked at the huge map on the wall. On the map, the country of water had been marked by him with a red pen—according to the news from Sai, who came back from the country of water, the country of water and Akatsuki had reached a secret alliance. At this time, the leader of the country of water is just a political puppet, and it is Akatsuki who actually dominates everything in the country of water. Threat, if Akatsuki deploys force on these islands, the sea route of the Fire Nation in the southeast direction will be restrained by Akatsuki.

Danzo's eyes fell on the Land of Rain, which is located between the Land of Earth, the Land of Wind, and the Land of Fire. This country is too small, even just a city. If you don't look carefully, it is easy to misunderstand It is ignored as part of Kawa no Kuni.Danzo picked up the red pen on the table and circled the Land of Rain.

The current situation is really worrying. Danzo can vaguely sense Akatsuki's ambition and its encirclement strategy against the Fire Nation. Once the time is right, Akatsuki may launch a war against the Fire Nation without hesitation.

At this time, the video of the mysterious man who visited Sasuke was uploaded to Danzo's computer. He glanced at the blurry surveillance video, but the poor video quality made it even more difficult to see the man's face covered by the fedora. up.Danzo carefully watched the man's limping walking posture leaning on crutches, and fell into deep thought.

"Long time no see, Sasuke." In the izakaya, Xianglin raised his glass to Sasuke, "I'm glad you contacted me."

Sasuke snorted coldly with disdain: "Don't think too much." He raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.Xiang Rin was not annoyed, she asked the boss to add a plate of wasabi octopus for her, she lowered her head and ate food while drinking in silence, Sasuke also lowered her head, picked up the fried golden tempura in front of her with chopsticks and ate it clean, then said , "Don't talk to anyone about this matter."

"Are you looking for the secret of the Uchiha extermination?" Xiang Rin asked in a low voice.

"Don't ask too much." Sasuke didn't answer her.

Seeing that Sasuke's gaze gradually turned cold, Xianglin wisely stopped asking, but said, "Even if you don't tell me, I can know what you're thinking just based on the information you asked me to help you find. After eating the wasabi octopus, Xiang Rin put down her chopsticks and said seriously to Sasuke, "Of course I won't tell others about this matter, but you have to be careful yourself, I faintly feel that pursuing this matter will not lead to any good results. "

Sasuke nodded: "I know, I have my own plan." Finally, he said softly, "Thank you anyway."

Xianglin ignored Sasuke's thanks, she stood up and put her hands in the pockets of her coat, and said to Sasuke with a smile: "You don't need to thank you, you can pay for today's drink."
