[Hokage] Flower Time

As he said that, he looked at Huashi, and his words became more and more low-key: "...you may have a place in his heart that surpasses other things."

— a place above other things?

Madara's words confused Hanatoki.

She calmly began to look at Spot's figure, secretly thinking about his ability.She wants to see Itachi, so she has to leave Uchiha Madara.But according to what she knew about him, it was impossible for him to let go.Then, there is no choice but to leave by force.Other gods can't use it yet, she can only use other methods to defeat him...

"Are you thinking about my abilities?"

Madara's sudden sound interrupted her contemplation.Subconsciously, she vetoed: "No..."

If he is vigilant, things will definitely be more troublesome. ...However, Itachi has already stated his intentions in front of him, so he will definitely be on guard.

"When you are thinking about countermeasures, this is the expression now." Madara said to her: "Children who lie will not be forgiven."

"I..." She wanted to continue to deny it, and even said the phrase "I will not betray you". The words came to her lips, but she swallowed them again. Those words seemed to take effect as soon as they were uttered The spell made her dare not try it easily.

"Without other gods, how would you come and defeat me?" His slightly mocking words sounded in Huashi's ear: "Although I'm curious, but... this time, I don't plan to stop you."

Because of his words, Hua Shi's face was slightly startled.

He wasn't going to stop it.

Meaning... can she just leave and meet Uchiha Itachi alone?

Will he really do it?

"You can go to see Uchiha Itachi alone." He said, "Because I know that when you come back, you will definitely need me. You will continue to follow me."

Such a determined tone made her a little annoyed.Obviously her fate belongs to her, but there is always someone who helps her make the verdict and judgment.This feeling of not being able to control oneself is really not pleasant.

"Are you so sure? I will definitely follow you." She asked coldly.

"Of course..." Uchiha said: "You will also admit my plan and become my true partner."

After he finished speaking, he raised his head and looked towards the sky.A crescent moon hangs high in the night sky. It is not a full moon, but it is still cool and beautiful, exuding a soft and low light.A few misty clouds drifted past the crescent moon, covering half of the brilliance, but they could not detract from its beauty.

Huashi didn't understand what he was looking for while looking at the night sky, so she could only cross her arms and watch the crow that belonged to the ferret fall from her shoulder, moving its claws on the arm.

×

Uchiha Madara really followed his own words, let her leave alone three days later, and followed the crow's guidance to find Itachi.

Following the guidance of the crow, she walked through a forest and grassland until she returned to the vicinity of Muye Village.Although she didn't understand why Itachi asked her to meet here, she still went as agreed.She walked out of the dark green forest, and her eyes touched a slowly flowing river not far away.

The clear water of the river reflects the blue sky and misty white clouds, and the fallen leaves from the upstream swirled and flowed into the distance.The huge stones half under the water surface were rounded and smoothed by the water flow, and the tiny pebbles were scattered on the river bank, mixed with blue-yellow grass stalks that swayed slightly in the wind.

This is...the upper reaches of Nanhechuan.Going further to the east is the former site of the Nanga Shrine of the Uchiha clan.

The crow on her shoulder spread its wings and flew towards the other side of the river.There was a crackling sound from the forest on the other side of the river, and a black figure slowly walked out from the dark green woods.

Huashi raised his head, and looked at him across a slow and clear river, the same wooden leaf forehead and black eyes reflected in each other's eyes.Uchiha Itachi's right hand protruded from the high collar, unbuttoned the three front buttons, and then put his hand in the skirt.

Seeing that he showed no signs of speaking, Huashi said, "Say it quickly, Itachi. What you said...'The truth about Zhishui'."

Her words were carried by the wind to the other side of the river, and also to Uchiha Itachi's ears.

Itachi Uchiha remained speechless, he walked straight forward and stepped into the river.When he stepped across the river, there were slight ripples on the soles of his feet.The leaves on the side were blown by the wind, fell to his feet, and soon spun and submerged into the water.The ferret walked to the middle of the river and stopped moving forward.

When Huashi saw this, he also walked forward.She walked steadily forward until she was three steps away from Itachi.She collected herself and said again: "Speak."

Hua Shi didn't answer, and kept quiet all the time, as if silently acquiescing to his request.Or she suddenly felt that if she rejected his words, maybe after this "everything" was over, she would never have the chance to hear them again.

"I always use my own thoughts to take away your rights, and I always think that I can handle everything with my own strength. Therefore, Zhishui and I always push you far away again and again, I hope you don't get close to these complicated things. Until the end, there is no turning back, and you can only make that choice."

"Always made a private verdict for you... decided to kill you to preserve the Uchiha name, decided to provoke you to make you stronger, decided to deceive you so that you can continue to live. But... because of this , Starting from the first mistake, I have to use more mistakes to correct you who have deviated from the track, and let people like Uchiha Madara take advantage of it.”

"At that time... that night, I chose Sasuke. And now... I choose you." Uchiha Itachi said slowly: "Now, let me tell you the truth about Shisui."

It was another dark green fallen leaf, spinning and slowly falling on the water surface, creating a layer of shallow ripples.

"Zhishui, he is right under your feet, in this river."

Uchiha Itachi's words made her eyes widen in horror.Her expression froze on her face, not daring to look down at the river beneath her feet.She froze for a long time, suppressed her trembling voice, and asked, "...Itachi, what do you mean?"

"Zhishui's body is in Nanhechuan, and that is his final destination."

Uchiha Itachi's voice hit her heart word by word, she urged herself, tried to lower her stiff head, and looked at the river below her feet.The clear river can be seen directly to the bottom, the stacked pebbles are round and smooth, and the rusty Kunai left over from an unknown age lies quietly on the bottom of the water.

"what……"

Huashi heard her own voice, and she even felt that the person who said that sentence was not her.

She noticed that her arms were trembling slightly, she shook her head fiercely, and said loudly: "How could it be! How do you know! Did you see it with your own eyes!"

There was hope in her words.She still remembered that on the day after Shisui disappeared, she repeatedly asked Itachi-"You must know that he is not dead, right?" "You didn't see it with your own eyes, did you?"

At that time, Itachi's answer to her was "I didn't see it".

Well, now...

"Yes." Itachi's low voice broke her fantasy again mercilessly.

Itachi stretched out his right hand from his sleeve, and a crow landed on his arm.He stretched out the hand holding the crow to the front, and said: "You also said that I was the last person to see him. I am indeed the last person in this world to see him...the evidence is here. This is...Shishui's Sharingan."

The black crow turned its head and stared at Huashi.There are black three-pointed jade in its red eyes, which are not the eyes of ordinary crows.

This is evidence.

Shisui's other eye was in Itachi's hand.

"You should recognize Shisui's eyes." Uchiha Itachi lowered his arm, and the crow obediently landed on his shoulder.He continued: "Originally I wanted to use other gods to change your will, but I think you should have the ability to protect yourself from Uchiha Madara. He is a person...even I can't see through him. It's too dangerous."

"Wait a minute." She stopped Itachi's words about Madara, and said in a cold voice, "Shisui...you haven't told me...how Shisui died. He really...was drowned ?"

The river below was flowing slowly, as calm as ever.The mirror-like river surface reflects the sky and their shadows, which are slightly distorted and deformed with the flow of water waves.

Itachi Uchiha slowly closed his eyes and said, "I killed Shisui."

Her body froze again.

--how come!how come!

"Impossible!" She retorted again: "Don't you think of your brother as your own brother? Aren't you two best friends? My brother is as good to you as I am...how could you..."

"In order to gain strength." The black in Itachi's eyes gradually turned into scarlet, and the black three-pointed jade slowly rotated, sloshing into a more complicated pattern: "Because he is my closest friend and whom I regard as I will only do this if I am a friend of my brother and teacher."

"Kaleidoscope Sharingan...the power surpasses the power of the Sangouyu Sharingan. In the history of the Uchiha clan, there are only a handful of people who have opened the Kaleidoscope Sharingan. The pupil power of the Uchiha clan grows with hatred and darkness... …On the night I killed you, you opened the kaleidoscope Sharingan. It is precisely because you witnessed your own 'death' that you hated me, and the kaleidoscope also opened..."

"Killing my closest friend...experienced a drastic emotional change, that's why I got this kaleidoscope Sharingan, which symbolizes the strongest pupil power."
