Konoha's Ninja Successor

The surveillance mission was carried out on a three-hour rotation. Kakashi and Uchiha Itachi were observing in the surveillance department as usual, and the three hours passed quickly.

After the two of them changed shifts, it was already dark outside.

Kakashi, who was walking on the road, glanced at Uchiha Itachi beside him, and suddenly felt that as a senior, he had to enlighten him at this juncture, otherwise this talented junior might be destroyed by the prejudice in the village.

"Itachi, what do you think about the recent tense relationship between the village and the Uchiha clan?" Kakashi asked leisurely with his hands in his pockets and his eyes drifting into space.

Uchiha Itachi turned his head to look at Kakashi expressionlessly. After thinking about Kakashi's question seriously, he said: "Konoha's high degree of guard against and suspicion of the Uchiha clan has subsequently caused the Uchiha clan's dissatisfaction. Emotion. This dissatisfaction squeezes for a long time, causing the Uchiha clan's identification with Konoha Village to decrease. If both parties do not make changes at the same time, the future of the Uchiha clan and Konoha will cause huge changes."

Originally, he planned to raise a topic and slowly enlighten Uchiha Itachi in a conversation, but Kakashi did not expect that Uchiha Itachi analyzed the situation extremely seriously, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

However, Uchiha Itachi's words really sounded the alarm in Kakashi's heart. Kakashi, who had similar concerns to Uchiha Itachi earlier, naturally knew that what Uchiha Itachi said was the truth.

On the surface, Konoha Village has settled down peacefully, but in fact, there are still huge hidden dangers inside.Seeing Uchiha Itachi analyze all this matter, Kakashi also took this opportunity to see the Uchiha genius's own attitude and opinions.

"What do you think? There is a huge conflict between the village and the clan. As a member of the Uchiha clan, what is your position?" Kakashi retracted his gaze from the clouds and asked Uchiha Itachi seriously.

"In the first generation, the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan jointly established Konoha Village, bringing countless families together to form the current village. The Uchiha clan is not only the family of the Uchiha clan, but also the family of Konoha Village. The ancestors As a Konoha ninja, I have the obligation to protect the village created by our joint efforts. The narrow clan concept does not apply to me!" When Uchiha Itachi said this, his emotions fluctuated greatly, and the Sharingan in both eyes could not be seen. Turned on consciously.

There was a trace of anger and dissatisfaction on Uchiha Itachi's face, which was obviously what he had been hiding in his heart for a long time. Uchiha Itachi, who had never shown joy or anger on his face, vented his emotions for the first time in a long time.

Kakashi Hatake was not sure whether Uchiha Itachi was acting. As an ANBU ninja, it was easy to achieve this level of deception, but no matter what Uchiha Itachi thought in his heart, at least the reason he expressed it was Those words are indeed what a ninja who inherited the will of fire should say.

Without showing any expression of appreciation or other dissatisfaction, Kakashi waited silently for Uchiha Itachi to restrain the emotions he was showing now.

Uchiha Itachi also found that his mood swings were a little too high. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes again, the blood red and magatama in his eyes returned to their normal black pupils.

"Itachi, you are different from our other Anbu members. You are the unfortunate one who is caught between the village and the Uchiha clan. If you really think like you said, then the pressure you are carrying now is extraordinary. In When you have a lot of negative emotions accumulated in your heart, I hope you can recall what I said to you before."

"Huh?" Itachi looked at Kakashi in confusion.

Hatake Kakashi subconsciously touched the forehead protector covering his right eye, then looked at Uchiha Itachi with a smile and said: "Itachi, don't try to carry everything alone. Although you and I are both ninjas, we all have A person with feelings, not a tool that simply aims at killing. There should be your most trusted companions in your heart. Try to trust them and rely on them. If you have any difficulties, you can also come to me. Help, I’ll do whatever I can.”

Uchiha Itachi's eyes fluctuated for a moment, and then a figure wearing a dark turtleneck short-sleeved top and triangular protective gear flashed in his mind. Kakashi's words made the haze in his heart dissipate a lot.

Uchiha Itachi was grateful for Kakashi's comfort, thinking that he had indeed received a lot of care from him over the years.Itachi turned around and bowed deeply to him sincerely: "Captain Kakashi, I have been taken care of by you all these years. Don't try to carry everything alone, well... I will keep this sentence in mind."

Seeing Itachi Uchiha giving such a grand gift, Kakashi waved his hand and said with a smile: "It doesn't have to be like this. I am your senior anyway, and it is the duty of a senior to take care of your juniors. This sentence was said by a deceased senior of mine." For me to listen to.”

"Is the old friend that Captain Kakashi mentioned is the rumored hero who saved Konoha, Teru Shimura?" Uchiha Itachi raised his head and said calmly.

"Ah...he taught me a lot of truths." Kakashi squinted his eyes and recalled Shimura Teru's appearance, and then looked at Uchiha Itachi with a smile: "As the Sandaime said, Konoha's future will eventually come to an end. In the hands of your younger generation, the flame of inheritance will surely shine on the village. Itachi! The future of Konoha depends on you."

"I will try my best."

Uchiha Itachi looked slightly to the left, and he saw a male ninja wearing a dark high-necked short-sleeved top standing on the treetops in the distance, looking towards here.

After the ninja took a deep look at Uchiha Itachi, he disappeared in an instant.

Uchiha Itachi slowly withdrew his gaze.

"It seems that someone is looking for you. Go ahead. I just want to go home."

Hatake Kakashi's perceptive ability is very good. He turned his head slightly and glanced in the direction where the previous man was standing before saying goodbye to Uchiha Itachi.

Uchiha Itachi bowed slightly, and then disappeared in front of Kakashi Hatake using the teleportation technique.

Kakashi didn't wonder who Uchiha Itachi was meeting, he just put his hands in his pockets silently and walked slowly towards his home.

Half an hour later.

In a forest outside Konoha Village, the young man who had previously looked deeply at Uchiha Itachi was leaning against a tree, closing his eyes and concentrating.

"Whoosh!"

Uchiha Itachi's figure flashed in front of the young man, a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes, and he immediately greeted him: "Shisui, you are back."

Shunshen Shisui, recognized by the Uchiha clan as the strongest ninja, is also the only genius in the Uchiha clan who has opened the Mangekyō Blood Ring Eye.After all, it is different from the past era. The Uchiha clan has not had the Mangekyō Blood Ring Eye for a long time. Uchiha Shisui is undoubtedly the pride of the Uchiha clan at this time. Even Uchiha Itachi admires Uchiha Shisui in his heart. water.

"Well, I just returned to the village. I didn't disturb the conversation between you and Kakashi-senpai." Uchiha Shisui said with a gentle smile on his face.

"No, Captain Kakashi asked me to leave and come find you." Itachi Uchiha shook his head.

"Hahaha~ Senior Kakashi's perception is still so sharp, he can detect my breath from such a distance." Uchiha Shisui smiled and scratched his head, his tone full of admiration for Kakashi.
