Chapter 16

[Chapter 16 The Demonic Energy Appears]

"Really…" Itachi stared at Naoto with a suspicious expression on his face, making Naoto nervous for a while, and he put on a serious look, "Itachi, you should stay in the tent honestly now."

"It's too stuffy in the tent…"

Naoto was a little surprised. In his mind, Itachi was not someone who violated his father's wishes for this reason.

Itachi is a person who speaks very few words, and he doesn't look like a four-year-old with his calmness.

Naoto also had a conversation with Itachi on the way here, but each conversation was just a few words.

Naoto laughed suddenly, clapped a hand on Itachi's head, and said softly, "I didn't expect Itachi to be nervous."

"…"

Itachi didn't speak, he got rid of Naoto's clutches and sat beside him.

"Father said…he will take me to the battlefield tomorrow."

"…Then how is Itachi feeling now?"

"do not know..."

"If you can't even grasp your own mood, then it's difficult to adapt to the battlefield." Naoto seems to be caught in reminiscence. "In this damn place, uncontrollable emotions will eventually lead to self-destruction."

"…Why did Naoto-san join the war right after the Chunin Exam?" Itachi asked

Naoto was stunned for a moment, then after thinking for a moment, he replied, "If I have to say it, it is to help Konoha win the war. We are all ninjas trained by Konoha, so it is normal to help Konoha."

He continued to say without blushing and heartbeat, "If we go one step further, it is to train yourself on the battlefield and make yourself the best ninja, so that you can stop disputes."

This is Itachi's line, and he borrowed it for almost no psychological burden.

But Itachi seen it wrong, and he said mercilessly, "It's so naive, I always thought that only children would have such innocent dreams."

(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

Naoto had a # on his forehead. He didn't expect that he would be despised by a four-year-old child.

He wanted to grab Itachi by the neck and tell him that this was his own dream in the future!

But he also reacted later. At this time, Itachi did not know the cruelty of the war at all, and naturally he would not sublimate his consciousness.

A Uchiha clansman who can kill all his fellow clansmen for Konoha's peace, and regard Konoha's safety as his own business, what kind of spirit is this?

This is the spirit of the will of fire. A person has high or low ability, but as long as he has this spirit, then he is a noble person for Konoha, a person who is free from vulgar taste, and a person who is beneficial to the Konoha people!

And the enlightenment of this spirit came after Itachi witnessed the cruelty of war…

Naoto, who realized that he had done something stupid, paused for a moment, and finally said unconvinced, "Wait, one day you will think that I am right, and then you should not beg me."

Itachi was about to speak, but he heard Fugaku's voice in the distance, "Itachi, the most important thing for ninjas is to obey orders."

Itachi hurriedly stood up, "I'm sorry, Father…"

Naoto also stood up and said, "Lord Fugaku, Itachi is not a ninja yet."

"Well." Fugaku wasn't actually angry, he said to Itachi, "Go back and rest, tomorrow is very dangerous."

"Yes, my lord."

Watching Fugaku bring Itachi back to the tent, Naoto made a thoughtful look.

After a while, someone came to the class, and when he returned to the tent, he lay down and went straight to sleep.

When he woke up, it wasn't light yet, but everyone was almost up.

The task that the three Chunin received is still to protect Uchiha Itachi. In short, it is to make soy sauce. Anyway, Konoha's combat power is already excessive. The three Chunin and Fugaku are an elite jounin even if they are not. Participating in the war will not affect Konoha's victory.

When they walked out of the camp, it started to rain, and the silver thread that seemed to connect the sky to the ground crashed to the ground, making people almost unable to open their eyes.

But this kind of heavy rain is not worth mentioning to the ninjas, even if the waterfall falls from their heads, no one will be afraid, let alone raindrops.

But it mercilessly hit Uchiha Itachi's young body, who had just turned four years old, and Fugaku, who was standing beside him, didn't even look at him.

"Set off."

The words in this man's mouth were colder than the rainstorm, but Itachi couldn't expect his father's care.

Uchiha and his party flew all the way to the battlefield. Most of the enemies were lower ninjas, and they were the existences that Naoto could easily defeat. Occasionally, there were Chunin or jounin, and they were not Fugaku's opponents at all.

Sharingan is indeed a major killer in the ninja world, and the powerful illusion makes people hard to guard against.

The war ended quickly, and when Itachi came back to his senses, he found that there were already corpses in front of him…

The blood flowing on the ground is like a stream, and as far as the eye can see, there are mountains of corpses. The expressions on these corpses are distorted due to pain, and there is no peaceful face.

Itachi endured silently, afraid that he would shed tears.

Not out of fear, not out of grief.

This indescribable emotional vortex may only be reflected in the emotional Itachi, who only felt the tightness in his chest and made it hard to breathe.

He felt as if he had come to an independent space, where there was no sound, no light and heat, and even the heavy rain in the sky disappeared.

No, not disappearing.

Flames suddenly ignited around Itachi's body, and the terrifying high temperature directly evaporated the raindrops that fell from the sky. Even the three Chunin not far away felt a slight burning sensation.

"Father..."

Itachi, who was still in tears without realizing it, uttered a cold voice that was completely different from his burning body, "Why did you take me to such a place?"

"Itachi! You?!" Fugaku naturally noticed the change in his son, so he was not in the mood to answer Itachi's question at all, he just said, "Damn, Itachi, control the flames of your body!"

At this time, he thought of the words of the person who called himself Suzuki before——"You may have misunderstood something, I am not in a hurry, I will come back when you are troubled by demonic energy.

』

The words he sneered at the time kept echoing in his mind

"The Demonic energy of Fire…"

Fugaku clenched his fists and gritted his teeth

"Is this the world I will live in? Father?"

Seeing Itachi who was still obsessed with it, Fugaku could only endure the uneasiness in his heart and answer Itachi's question, "Yes, Itachi. Ninjas live to fight. You should never forget what you saw today."

"I know..."

Itachi was silent, and as the flames around him gradually diminished, eventually all the flames dissipated cleanly.

Itachi Uchiha's heart was beating violently, he felt an arrogant force rushing out of his body, he endured desperately, and the unknown fear poured out like a tide, causing him to widen his eyes, a burst of energy. The heat flow different from the tears was about to move in his eyes, and finally he let out a loud roar, and a Sharingan appeared in his eyes.

He put his hand on his chest, and he felt a force that did not belong to him was lurking in his body. If he let this force be manipulated, he would lose himself…
