Naruto: The Iceman of the Senju Family

"but……"

Danzo suddenly paused at this point.

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Itachi felt as if even the candlelight in the room was swaying at this moment.

"According to Gen's investigation, we recently learned that he has actually been secretly connected with Kirigakure Village."

A ninja who betrayed the village...

Itachi's heart suddenly shivered. He had roughly guessed what this mission was going to do.

"Then, my mission is to deal with that man..."

"Listen to me."

Danzo suddenly interrupted Itachi with a cold voice, and continued before he could react:

"Ninjas who join ANBU will deliberately hide their ANBU identity in their daily lives."

"So, this man is just an ordinary Jonin on the surface, living an ordinary life. He has a wife and two children aged 1 and 3 at home."

"..."

In the flickering firelight, Itachi stared deeply at the man sitting motionless on the chair in front of him.

Why did Danzo specifically explain these things?

Do you want to tell yourself that the person you want to kill next also has an ordinary family and family, and do you want to do some tests?

'if it is like this……'

Itachi calmly threw away the thoughts in his mind.

If Danzo's purpose in saying this was really to test whether his sympathy would affect his mission, then he was underestimating himself.

"If he hadn't colluded with Kirigakure Village, this man would actually be trusted by the Hokage. He is a very capable and amazing ninja."

"But if we let those who betray the village go unchecked, then for the village..."

"I know."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Itachi regretted his impulsiveness and rashness.

I'm afraid that with just one sentence, Danzo could have seen through all the thoughts and emotions he had been hiding since he came in.

Dark, gloomy...

This man seemed to be hiding himself in the shadows forever. This feeling really disgusted him!

"..."

Danzo did not show any displeasure at Itachi's sudden impatience;

He just stared at Itachi quietly for a while, and then continued as if nothing happened:

"For you who are very sensitive, these words must be very roundabout."

"But this is also because I want you to understand this man's situation and then... kill him."

To be honest, Itachi really wanted to ask, why did he have to let himself know such a thing?

But in the end, he just nodded without hesitation.

"Yes!"

that man,

Regardless of whether he has a family or not, whether he is an excellent ninja trusted by the Hokage...

In short, a traitor is a traitor.

This is the task,

The mission of the ninja is to complete the mission, and other things are not what they should consider.

"In this mission, I allow you to bring a companion with you to complete it, and you will decide on the candidate yourself."

With that said, Danzo stood up from the chair and slowly walked to Itachi's side.

"Although it's a little late to say this now, I think it's best for you to stay in ANBU."

His eyes slanted downward, staring straight at this young and mature boy.

"Peace is actually a very troublesome thing... It is difficult to create peace and even harder to maintain peace."

"Just like people need to eat food to survive, when one person is finishing dinner, there will be someone in another place suffering the pain of not having food."

"Some people are gaining here, while others are losing elsewhere... This imbalance will slowly distort the stable life."

Although I don’t understand why he suddenly said this to me,

Although he had been reminding Danzo from the moment he entered the door that he definitely had no good intentions towards him,

But when hearing this, Itachi couldn't help but have some pictures in his mind:

Villagers living carefree in the village,

The Uchiha clan, which is highly suspicious of villagers and even senior officials,

as well as,

The radicals who were increasingly losing their minds when gathering in the secret room of Nanga Shrine...

"!"

Don't let Danzo discover the subtle fluctuations in his heart!

So Itachi immediately closed his lips and gritted his teeth.

"Peace is actually just an illusion, because there are always painful people behind it who are carrying the darkness."

Danzo didn't seem to notice anything unusual about him at all, he just said to himself:

"When factors that affect stability appear in a peaceful village, someone must take the responsibility of eliminating the unrest! Otherwise, this false peace will soon cease to exist."

As Danzo's voice got closer and closer, a disgusting smell suddenly invaded Itachi's nasal cavity!

Following the smell, Itachi found out that it was the breath of Danzo standing in front of him, and had no choice but to lower his gaze silently and continue to endure...

"Before, I once said that you had a fierce look on your face."

Of course Itachi remembered,

And I remember it very clearly!

That day was the day he graduated from the ninja school.

As a result, the old guy in front of me who hadn't brushed his teeth for who knows how long suddenly came over and said such incomprehensible words to me!

What would he say to a 7-year-old child who had just walked out of school, "Your life will always be accompanied by turmoil"?

You deserve to be damned for riding a horse~

He even said that the peace of Konoha Village is fake~

If it weren't for the peaceful Konoha Village, do you think his father Uchiha Fugaku would kill you in a big fight!

"Because of this, you need to have strong power that can cut off various causal relationships."

"You mean, ANBU is where I can get this power?"

After being calm for so long, Danzo finally saw Itachi react to the topic he raised. Danzo, half of his face covered in bandages, suddenly felt much more comfortable.

"You are very smart, smarter than your peers and even a large number of people older than you, but it is precisely because of this smartness that it makes you suffer."

"I didn't feel..."

"Don't try to hide yourself from me!"

Danzo's right hand suddenly rested on Itachi's shoulder.

'It's so cold...'

This right hand is very cold,

very cold,

It was so cold that Itachi felt that this was not even the temperature that humans should have.

"I know that your wish is to achieve true peace and pursue a world without disputes... It is this wish that keeps you struggling in pain."

"How do you know..."

"I know everything about you!"

Danzo interrupted him again, and the strong confidence in his words almost made Itachi almost believe it.

"Only those who can truly endure darkness can bring peace to this world! And you have such qualities."

An evil smile gradually appeared on Danzo's lips,

"Come to me, Uchiha Itachi. Only I can truly understand you, and only I can give you the fastest and most suitable growth and space."

dark!

Bad smell...

Before instinctively starting to think, Itachi chose to look away...
