Chap 22

At this moment, Uchiha has been covered with a smell of blood.

Even the moon in the sky seemed to have turned blood red, which looked extraordinarily weird.

But what no one noticed was that a thick black fog began to envelope the entire village.

Inside Chief Uchiha's room.

Uchiha Fugaku and Mikoto were sitting on their knees.

The proud eldest son, Uchiha Itachi, stands behind the two of them, knife still in hand.

What an ironic scene.

For the sake of the peace of the whole village, Uchiha Itachi intends to sacrifice his own people. He even raised his butcher knife and slashed at his own people, his parents. Bearing the darkness, he finally committed himself to the "Akatsuki" organization and continued to serve as the village's spies.

Uchiha Shisui, who is also a teacher and friend, was designed by Danzo and eventually committed suicide. The ambiguous object Uchiha Shisui also died under the knife of Obito.

The only exception is Uchiha Sasuke, his own younger brother, who protected his younger brother for the first half of his life, and finally designed himself to die under the opponent's hands.

Pursue the peace of the village in exchange for his miserable life.

Even in the Fourth Ninja World War, when Yakushi Kabuto used Reanimation Jutsu to plunge the Ninja Alliance into a bitter fight, he stepped forward and solved Yakushi Kabuto.

And except for Sasuke and others, the rest of the people don't know what he did.

But looking at Hokage's world, is Konoha at peace? Do not! There has never been peace!

Only when First Hokage Senju Hashirama is with Uchiha Madara is there real peace.

There was no darkness in the village at that time, because one of Hashirama and Madara was the god of the ninja world, and the other was the Shura of the ninja world. The strong force value not only made other villages dare not easily hostile, even in the village, no one dared to make small moves .

Are people in the Sengoku era pure?

Do not! Because they understand that even if they make small moves, Hashirama and Madara can use absolute force to suppress them.

In the face of that kind of strength that crushes everything, any tricks are just on paper and completely useless.

"Yeah, you're on their side."

Although what Uchiha Fugaku said was doubtful, his tone clearly understood.

Know what your son is doing and what's to come.

"Dad, Mom, I..."

"We understand, Itachi!"

Before Uchiha Itachi could finish speaking, Uchiha Mikoto interrupted his son's words.

"Itachi, promise me at last." Uchiha Fugaku said heavily.

"Sasuke, please."

Hearing this, Uchiha Itachi couldn't bear it anymore, and two tears flowed out of his blood-red eyes.

"I see..."

The hand holding the knife started to tremble, and Uchiha Itachi couldn't breathe from the pain in his heart at this moment.

Sensing his son's hesitation, Uchiha Fugaku spoke again.

"Don't be afraid, this is the path you have chosen."

"Compared to you, our pain is only a moment."

"Even if we think differently, we are still proud of you!"

"You are such a kind child."

Uchiha Itachi burst into tears, but still raised the knife in his hand.

Right here, a voice came from the shadows in the house.

"Tsk tsk tsk... It's really a good show. Although I already know the plot, it's really strange to see it with my own eyes."

"Who!"

Uchiha Itachi wiped away the tears, raised the knife and looked behind him vigilantly, his blood eyes were staring at the shadow.

Uchiha Fugaku and Mikoto also turned around and looked this way.

"Don't get me wrong, you can continue, I'm just a passerby."

A red-haired boy raised his hands casually, and slowly walked out of the shadows.

The person who came was Namikaze Kirito. He came to Konoha early because of the Uchiha genocide. The first step of his plan was about to be implemented.

"who are you?!"

In fact, Uchiha Itachi and Namikaze Kirito met when they were young, and Kushina and Mikoto often took their sons to parties.

However, seven years have passed, except for the red hair, there have been too many changes, so Uchiha Itachi couldn't react for a while.

"Itachi, it's only been a few years, have you really forgotten your old friend?"

Namikaze Kirito walked slowly in front of Uchiha Itachi, and pressed his slender fingers on the tip of the knife.

"This thing is useless to me, and if you swing the knife with fear, it won't hurt me at all."

Looking carefully at Namikaze Kirito, especially his red hair, Uchiha Itachi finally came to his senses.

"Namikaze... Kirito?"

Hearing this name, the Fugaku couple also looked shocked.

"Kushina's son?"

"Isn't it said that he was taken away by Jiraiya for treatment? Why did he appear here?"

Namikaze Kirito ignored the two kneeling on the ground, staring at Uchiha Itachi.

"I came back to the village this time to see an old friend I haven't seen for a long time. I didn't expect that my friend didn't see me, but I saw a coward, a beast."

Hearing that he was insulted, Uchiha Itachi was filled with anger.

"What do you know?! You don't know anything! How dare you say that!"

"So, are you killing the tribe just for the peace of the village?" Namikaze Kirito asked calmly as if he didn't care about Uchiha Itachi's anger at all.

"Otherwise, what can I do? This is the only way. Once civil strife breaks out in the village and the outside world finds out, the whole village will be in crisis, and the Uchiha clan will also become Konoha's sinners."

"Rather than this, it's better to let me..."

"shut up!"

Namikaze Kirito couldn't maintain his calm look any longer, and shouted loudly.

"What are you doing? You are going to kill your father and mother, and bear the darkness? Don't laugh so hard!"

"The Uchiha clan had such a conflict with the village, and they didn't want to solve it, they just wanted to escape. Can such a coward bear the darkness of this village?"

"Or do you think that after the Uchiha clan is solved, the whole village will be at peace?"

Hearing Namikaze Minato's continuous questioning, although Uchiha Itachi didn't answer, the hand holding the knife dropped a little.

"I tell you, Uchiha Itachi, even if the Uchiha clan disappears today, there will still be other problems tomorrow. The darkness of this village, the death of Uchiha Shisui hasn't taught you the truth yet?"

"Two, no! Three Mangekyō Blood Wheel Eyes, three Kage-level powerhouses, don't want to change the status quo, but plan to die one after another?"

"Why don't you change your name to the cowards? What is the pride of the Uchiha clan? Where is your pride?"

Uchiha Itachi's face was pale at the moment, he didn't know whether the path he chose was right or not.

Now that Namikaze Minato said it directly to his face, he began to doubt himself deeply.

"Son of the Fourth Generation, what is your purpose?"

Uchiha Fugaku stood up and asked with a serious face.

Namikaze Kirito brought a chair from the corner of the room, sat on it, spread his arms, and crossed his legs.

"Stop your idiotic death, then, Uchiha Itachi."

"Do you want to follow me and really fall into the darkness."
