Naruto: The Iceman of the Senju Family

"I am a ninja from the Leaf Village!"

After hearing these words, the masked man who was heading straight towards the daimyo slowly stopped and turned his head slightly to look at Itachi.

"Can you say what you just said again?"

"I am a ninja from Konoha Village!!"

Itachi's voice seemed a little hoarse, but after saying it for the first time, it didn't seem that difficult to say it again.

"That...does that mean you want to die now?"

dead……

Such a word vaguely appeared in Itachi's mind, and it felt as if this was the first time that the word death was associated with him.

"You will become an excellent ninja in the future, there is no need to rush to die here."

The masked man seemed to have a special tolerance for Itachi, but then he looked at Itachi with the hole in the mask and said:

"But if you really still want to die, I won't stop you."

"!"

pressure……

The dangerous aura that seemed like death would come in the next second suddenly hit my face!

Get moving!

Get moving!

Itachi has never been so eager to control his body!

"Well!"

Because of his eagerness, he even made a moan-like sound from his throat!

Fortunately, his body finally reacted slightly, and before he even had time to take out the kunai, Itachi directly raised his right fist and swung it at the masked man's face!

call!

However, the result was that the masked man did not make any movement, but Itachi's fist just passed through the opponent's face just like Izumo Tenma just now.

It was clear that the opponent was right in front of him, but he couldn't feel anything from the fist he swung out. It even made Itachi start to wonder if he had also fallen into the opponent's illusion!

"...Do you really want to die?"

Looking at Itachi's movements, the masked man was silent for a moment, then stretched out his arm to grab Itachi.

"Then I will make it happen...!"

Halfway through his words, just when his palm was about to touch Itachi's face, he suddenly stopped in a daze, and then kept this posture and turned his head to look into the woods.

"This Chakra..."

A voice that I don't know how to describe came from under the mask:

"Hatake Kakashi."

After saying that, the masked man's eyes returned to Itachi from the woods.

"Congratulations, you saved your life, Uchiha Itachi."

As soon as he finished speaking, Itachi saw a ripple appear on his mask.

That's right!

Ripples like water patterns appeared in the void!

The next moment, Itachi saw something that subverted his understanding for the first time in his life:

With the black hole on the mask as the center, the ripples in the air became bigger and bigger, and finally they were like the flow of water after the plug was pulled out of the bathtub. The masked man's body seemed to gradually shrink into a point, and was gradually absorbed by the black hole. Breathed into the void!

"!"

Itachi was stunned when he saw this scene.

what is this?

Or is it true that he has been under an illusion?

shhhhh~

Four figures suddenly appeared,

Itachi seemed to be belatedly, and looked up with a somewhat stiff movement, and found that these four people also had masks on their faces, but fortunately, they were more familiar animal masks.

It is Anbu.

"Are you OK!?"

Seeing him like this, one of the four ANBU couldn't help but reach out and push his shoulder.

Itachi moved his eyes again and saw that the other person was a white-haired young man wearing a fox mask.

The other three people immediately started walking around to remove the genjutsu from the daimyo, guardian nin and others.

"Hey! What happened?"

The daimyo who woke up saw the corpses and blood stains on the ground at a glance, and immediately screamed in fright.

"Everyone except me suddenly fell under the illusion."

A voice came from Itachi's ear,

"I was delayed because I helped them remove the illusion. Sorry, we are late."

Looking at the ANBU wearing a fox mask who was talking, Itachi was a little dazed for a moment.

"Hatake...Kakashi..."

"!?"

The ANBU in the fox mask visibly stiffened, and then immediately looked directly at Itachi,

"How do you know this name?"

Although the other party did not admit it, Itachi's intuition told him that the person in front of him was the Kakashi Hatake that the masked man mentioned.

******

"Itachi all right?"

My father's steady and powerful voice came from across the paper sliding door.

Lying alone in the room, despite the warmth of the quilt wrapped tightly around him, Itachi could not stop shivering.

Due to such an accident, the daimyo immediately returned to the capital, and his visit to Konoha Village was postponed.

After listening to the reports from the ANBU and Minazuki Yuki, the top management of Konohagakure decided, for some unknown reason, to call Itachi in a few days to report, and immediately sent Itachi back as soon as they returned to the village. Home.

However, when Itachi returned home, he only felt that his whole body was exhausted. He didn't want to eat, didn't want to talk, and wasn't even in the mood to tease the cute Ou Doudou, so he went straight back to the house and got into bed.

"He didn't eat dinner and went straight to his room to sleep."

"He's already a ninja, and sooner or later something like this will happen to him."

"But he is only eight years old. A child of this age should be playing with friends at a ninja school..."

My mother's worried voice reached my ears,

Itachi wrapped himself tightly in the quilt, his heart filled with disappointment in himself.

If a teammate dies, he dies in front of himself.

The only one who could save him at that time was himself.

but……

But he just stood there and watched, unable to do anything...

"This shows how good he is!"

There is absolutely no overlap between my father's tone and focus and my mother's.

"Because you are excellent, you can be valued by senior officials and be entrusted with the important task of protecting the Daimyo! It is precisely because the task is important enough that dangers arise. Only by experiencing such many life-and-death situations can you become a leader more quickly. A ninja of his own!"

The firm and ruthless words penetrated Itachi's heart through the warm quilt.

not enough……

not enough……

Because I am not mature enough, my teammates died like this.

Because I am not mature enough, that is why my father said this...

strength. . .

Itachi has never been so thirsty for power as now!

Power enough to defeat that masked man!

"Can't you just let him work under you?"

"No! I already have plans for his future!"

"But he..."

"Don't worry, he will definitely be able to get through this."

His father's firm refusal was like a sharp thorn. Itachi clutched the quilt tightly and covered his ears, as if to escape from his father's voice.

"Um..."

Uncontrollable emotions turned into painful moans pouring out of his throat,

The body also began to tremble uncontrollably.

This is not because of fear, but because of anger at being powerless!

A sense of powerlessness, defeat, emptiness, disappointment...

Anger at all the feelings I have!

strength! !

It's not enough just to be strong enough to protect your teammates;

The power that is enough to give my father recognition and peace of mind is not enough!

He also wants to be stronger, stronger, and able to surpass that masked man...

Do not!

It is a power that can surpass everyone in this world!

Then he can solve all the conflicts and disputes in the world by himself!

Itachi closed his eyes tightly;

I felt something hot suddenly appear inside my eyelids,

He knew very well that those were definitely not tears!

But something even hotter...

Bang Dong... Bang Dong...

At the top of the back of the neck, the blood vessels began to beat violently.

There seemed to be something like fire flowing everywhere in the body, and finally gathered at the place where the blood vessels beat most intensely, and then rushed into the eyeballs in one breath!

People of the Uchiha clan are born with fire-type chakra, but this was the first time Itachi felt such hot power!

As smart as he is, he has already foreseen the meaning of these states in his body...

He slowly sat up with his eyes closed, then opened his eyes little by little,

red……

Everything in front of him seemed to be dyed bright red.

On the opposite side of the paper sliding door, there are three flames of different sizes swaying. They are father and mother, as well as Sasuke's life...

He stared at the three flames. The three people were located in the bright red scenery. If he continued to concentrate on staring, he felt that he could even see the beating of their hearts!

"Uh~"

Suddenly a wave of dizziness came over me,

Itachi immediately closed his eyes and began to take a deep breath;

When he slowly opened his eyes, the scene in front of him had returned to its original state.

'Sharingan...'

The strength gained from extreme unwillingness and pain...

Is this the secret of the Uchiha clan...

The man wearing the mask appeared in Itachi's mind again.

He clearly remembered that there was also a scarlet eye hidden under the hollow of the mask!

"Next time...I won't lose again!"

After whispering, the two black magatama dyed his eyes bright red again.
