Naruto: Fox and Cat

Ying Luofeng looked at their backs, smiled, and then turned to look at the water in the distance.The calm lake seems to have no waves, just like a pool of stagnant water but with undercurrents.

The conversation in the distance did not reach here, but Ying Luofeng didn't pay much attention to it. After all, it was none of her business.

Danzo was lying on the ground with blood on his face and he was dying. With his remaining eye, he looked at the two people walking over. He wanted to use chakra to activate the curse seal so that he could die with them, but he couldn't do it because of the red line on his body. Nothing can be done.

Itachi stopped more than a meter away from him, looking down at his embarrassed appearance.Sasuke stood beside him, looking coldly at the man who was now helpless to fight back.

Danzo took a breath and looked at the two of them fiercely, but his voice was very weak, "I didn't expect... two scourges of Uchiha were left behind... If I had known, I should have found a way to get rid of you... …”

Upon hearing this, Sasuke immediately drew his Kusanagi sword and prepared to step forward, "You guy!!"

Itachi stretched out his hand to grab him, pulled him behind him, and whispered, "Sasuke, I told you not to be impulsive."

"But this guy always insults my brother!"

"It's useless what he said so far. I'm fine." After settling his brother, he looked at Danzo and asked calmly, "When Pain came to attack Konoha, why didn't you take action? ?”

"In order for me to be able to reach the stage...those people would not hesitate to sacrifice a few..." Danzo said expressionlessly. After all, he had done too much for Konoha on the ground and had always coveted the position of Konoha Hokage. But it always fails.

Everyone longs for peace, but peace cannot be said with words, it must be achieved in reality, or rather, peace can only be achieved through a bloody road.

However, the modern Hokage's tepid ruling method cannot bring peace to the world at all.So he can only go from behind the scenes to the stage.

"Is the Uchiha clan a stepping stone for you to become Hokage?? Even your brother was used by you?!" Sasuke said in a deep voice, his face full of gloom.

"There is no right or wrong in this world... In order to protect Konoha and for peace, I have killed everyone who should be killed and should not be killed, including the Uchiha clan..." Danzo's vision became blurred, and then he tried his best He looked at Itachi who was standing there, "You understand, Itachi. Peace is not God's blessing, but a temporary stability built with the flesh, blood and lives of countless people..."

"..." Itachi didn't say anything, but he also understood Danzo's approach.In this world, the distinction between right and wrong is very blurred, and there is no pure light in the world.

All light shines so brightly only when there is darkness behind it.

All peace, after being turned over, becomes a pile of bones and flowing blood. That is why peace is so important.

Danzo looked at the silent young man, but knew that he might understand what he was doing, otherwise he would not have accepted the cruel order.

There are always people who want to walk in the darkness to protect the bright world, and he is willing to become a ghost in the darkness. Even if he is hated by others, even if he is spurned by others, he will be indifferent. He protects, protects the light, protects The burning will of fire!

He is a person behind the scenes. In order to protect Konoha, he has done too many despicable things, but Mu Wugen, how can he come to Ye?

His eyes moved to the cold-faced boy who was being protected by Itachi. Danzo remembered that he had used that boy to make the originally hesitant Itachi make up his mind.

Seeing his protective posture towards Sasuke, Danzo spoke intermittently, "Itachi, I just can't figure it out. Why did you choose to keep his life? It's obvious that he was your only failure... His ability is far less than yours, and his ability is far beyond yours." If you are not as good as you, why would you not hesitate to threaten the village and leave such a defeat..."

A kunai grazed his carotid artery and stuck into the ground, leaving a bloody mark on his neck and stopping his mocking and disdainful words.

After retracting his hand, Itachi's blood-red Sharingan looked at Danzo's remaining left eye without a trace of ripples, and cold and firm words came to his mind, "For me, this world is not as important as Sasuke." .As long as he is safe, I can do anything for Konoha.But if he is in any danger, I will do anything for him, whether it is Konoha or myself. ]

Danzo looked at him with a tense face, his blood-stained face only filled with evil.He knew very well where that man's bottom line was, so he could only easily use Uchiha Sasuke to make him obey his orders, even though that order was to eliminate the Uchiha clan.At that time, he agreed to that inhumane order for the safety of Sasuke and the safety of the village. Perhaps at that time, the village and Uchiha Sasuke were still equal.

But now, the balance has long been tilted...

After staring at Itachi with a sullen face for a while, he spoke coldly in his mind, because he knew Itachi would hear, "What if the Sasuke you left behind wants to destroy Konoha?"Doesn't that matter to you? ! ]

Itachi did not answer, but suddenly remembered a conversation he had with Ying Luofeng a long time ago:

"Itachi, you don't understand your brother very well. For him who has lost everything, it doesn't matter what the world becomes. Although he knows your feelings of wanting to protect Konoha, for him, It is impossible to forgive Konoha for taking away his most important brother."

"That was also his own decision..."

"You once said that your brother is as simple as a piece of white paper, and it is true. Overly clear and decisive love and hate will be his armor, but in the end he will still be wounded and dripping with blood. At that time, no one will protect him."

"Sasuke is now strong enough to protect himself, and he also has many partners who protect him."

"That's true. But, in the eyes of many people, Sasuke is a partner as long as he will not harm Konoha. If he accidentally stands on the opposite side, then he will be the target of public criticism. Solitary No matter how strong the wolf is, he is only alone."

I didn't say anything next, because at that time I was in such a complicated mood that I didn't know what to say.If he had followed his original plan, it would most likely lead directly to that result.

There are too many people who covet Sasuke's Sharingan, and his character can easily be deceived, and those of his contemporaries don't have much power to protect him.

Danzo, who couldn't wait for an answer for a long time, tried hard to look up at Itachi's expressionless face, and continued to say in his mind, "Your brother not only took refuge in Orochimaru before, but now he plans to assassinate Naruto and cause chaos to Konoha."What if he is inspired by others again and attacks Konoha directly?It's better to deal with him directly now and get rid of the harm left a few years ago.This is the best protection for Konoha... Only then can we achieve the peace you expect...]

Sasuke, who was standing aside, followed Itachi's request and did not peek into their thoughts. He had no idea what kind of conversation they were having. After seeing the deep expression on Itachi's face, he immediately asked worriedly, "Brother, is this guy? Are you threatening you again? I'll just kill him!"

Hearing his voice, Itachi's expression calmed down a bit. After looking at him quietly for a while, he suddenly reached out and touched his eyes.

"Brother?" Feeling the warm touch on his face, Sasuke looked at him with some confusion, not knowing what he was thinking.

Seeing that although he was confused but not wary but still trusting as always, Itachi just smiled softly.After moving to stand in front of him to block his view of Danzo, Itachi covered his eyes with his right hand.

Although he didn't know why Itachi suddenly covered his eyes, Sasuke still stood there obediently.

After smiling gently at him, Itachi looked back at Danzo, his face returned to expressionless, and the three magatama in the blood-red pupils quietly turned into a black scythe, [Duanzo, I remember I completed that mission and left the village Before, I warned you not to do anything to Sasuke, not to try to do anything that would harm his life.But why did you label Sasuke a rebellious nin as soon as you took office?Do you think that I am dead, that is why you are so unscrupulous and impatient? ? ]

"!!", seeing those cold kaleidoscopes, Danzo felt the awe-inspiring killing intent from the bottom of his heart, and couldn't help but break out in cold sweat on his face.

He indeed thought so at the time, and almost as soon as he took office, he sentenced Uchiha Sasuke, who had been a thorn in his side for many years, as a traitor.But in his moment of pride, he accidentally ignored the danger of the man who had been wandering outside the village.

After experiencing the Third Ninja War, Itachi saw a world full of death. Everything in his field of vision was composed of blood, curses and sorrow. He witnessed too many broken corpses and countless people with... A life that dies unwillingly and in despair.

Even though the war was over, he still saw a world full of death.That's why the younger brother who was born at that time is so precious.

This petite, fragile life, his unique brother, the pure eyes that looked at him brought light to his dark world, bringing the light of hope.

That is the only life he should protect, the existence he must protect.

Perhaps the Third Hokage has already seen through his true nature, so he has always stepped on the bottom line called 'Uchiha Sasuke' to prevent this man from becoming truly dangerous.As long as Sasuke's life is used as a shield, Uchiha Itachi cannot betray him no matter what.

The most critical point is to use the reason of protecting Uchiha Sasuke to stabilize the person who has not yet exposed his dangerous nature, and to keep him sane on the premise of 'letting Uchiha Sasuke survive'.After all, no matter how farsighted and capable Itachi is, the blood of the Uchiha clan still flows in his bones.

The emotions of that clan are too pure and even extreme. Before his bottom line has been truly touched, he can tolerate everything for the sake of justice and peace, even if his own nature is destroyed.

However, if you destroy the person I love, then I will destroy the entire Ninja Village and even the world and bury him with him.

Compared to Sasuke who is easily emotional, perhaps the real danger is Itachi Uchiha.Because others have no way of knowing what the man is thinking or what he will do.

What's more, his strength is as unfathomable as his mind.

The deeper he thought about it, even Danzo began to feel a deep chill.Perhaps, the fact that he labeled Uchiha Sasuke as a rebellious ninja made Itachi, who was still able to stand at the balance point, completely slip to the side of his younger brother.

Otherwise, how could Itachi, who always puts the overall situation first, agree to Sasuke's request to assassinate Naruto?

Moreover, maybe even if Sasuke doesn't take action, he plans to deal with himself.After all, he was the one who pushed his younger brother, whom he had tried every means to protect, to the forefront of danger.

"Ahem..." He coughed a few times uncomfortably, and then Danzo laughed uncontrollably, "Ha...haha...Uchiha Itachi...you are indeed a member of the Uchiha clan...that Hiruzen one." This guy really saw through your true nature and grasped your weakness..."

"I am very grateful to the Third Hokage who chose to protect Sasuke after I left the village." Itachi said lightly. After the blood-red Mangekyo glanced at Danzo lightly, his eyes returned to deep black.

A muffled hum suddenly sounded, and someone's breathing became heavy for a few times before becoming quiet.
