Naruto: Crossing the Still Water, Starting from the Blind

Uchiha's departure allowed Konoha to avoid the immediate civil war, but it also left hidden dangers in the future.

What was left to Hiruzen was an overwhelming melancholy.

Hiruzen's anger at this moment was even more intense than on the night of genocide when there was no interference in time and space!

Why is this?

Maybe...it was because things didn't develop as he expected. Whether it was Shisui, Itachi or Uchiha, they all took actions that he didn't expect. The frustration made him doubt whether he didn't do it at all. He has the strategic vision that a Hokage should have.

So he stayed up late at night, and came to the platform of the Hokage's mansion under the lonely moonlight, looking up at the dumb rock statue of the Hokage, immersed in his indescribable emotions!

In the night wind, a sound of crows gathered behind them.

Hiruzen took a drag on his pipe and didn't look back.

"Itachi..."

Itachi said in a low voice: "I'm here to say goodbye to you. I'm extremely sorry that I failed to live up to your expectations and failed to deliver a perfect answer to the village!"

Hiruzen pondered and said, "No, I'd be very happy if you could come and see me... Is it Fugaku's own decision to leave the village?"

Itachi answered truthfully: "It was Shisui who used the pupil technique of another god!"

Hiruzen was disappointed: "He still used the pupil technique, but it was different from what was expected..."

Shisui had promised in front of Hiruzen and Danzo that if the situation got out of control, he would use other gods to stop the coup.

But in the end, it turned out that other gods were used to promote Uchiha's defection.

Itachi defended: "This was Shisui's last resort choice. He originally wanted to use other gods to prevent the coup, but in the end he discovered a reality... Konoha has long lost the soil for Uchiha to survive, even now If we prevent a coup, we will definitely do it again in the future.”

"..." Hiruzen smoked a cigarette and expressed his position in silence.

Itachi raised his eyes and looked at Hiruzen's back: "You must not understand why Shisui and I took action against Danzo. I can tell you the truth now. Danzo took away Shisui's hand without your knowledge. Right eye!"

"!" Hiruzen's back suddenly trembled, and he turned around and asked, "Is there... such a thing?"

Itachi said firmly: "Yes! Shisui's suicide in Nanga River is indeed true. Before committing suicide, Danzo and Gen were also deliberately planning to seize his left eye! Did Zhisui brother go through the process of suicide? Only when you die, from death to life, do you become truly disillusioned with the village!"

Hiruzen, gripping his pipe hard!

Itachi said: "If the other gods are abused by Danzo, you should know the consequences. Therefore, for public and private reasons, we must take back the right eye, even if it will give Danzo an excuse to destroy Uchiha!"

Hiruzen blamed himself: "I...as Hokage, I made such an oversight!"

Itachi's gaze lightly swept over the Hokage Rock: "You don't have to blame yourself. This is a concentrated outbreak of historical contradictions, and it is not based on your or anyone else's will..."

Hiruzen asked eagerly: "Itachi... do you think Uchiha will become a serious problem in the village?"

Itachi said objectively: "The main war faction among the tribe will still be ready to make moves for a long time to come. Father, Shisui, and I will try our best to restrain them and resolve their hostility, but what worries me most is... ...Danzo will definitely pursue Uchiha, covertly or covertly, because he is deeply dependent on Uchiha's forbidden art 'Izanagi', and he needs a large number of Uchiha's eyes to continue his immortal power. It is impossible for our clansmen to tolerate Danzo’s atrocities without any bottom line.”

"But as a person, I don't want to see the village and the clan fighting each other again, so, so..."

After saying this, Itachi actually got down and knelt down: "I implore you to restrain Danzo-sama's behavior to protect the long-term peace of the village and Uchiha!!"

Hiruzen quickly stepped forward and lifted Itachi up: "What did you say... This is not only your expectation, but also my wish!!"

After Itachi stood up, he solemnly said: "There is one more thing I want to tell you clearly. There has been a man wearing a mask for a long time. Through the time and space pupil technique, he can enter and leave the village as if he is in no one's land. I doubt his authenticity. His identity is that of the Uchiha ancestor who was defeated by the first Hokage in the battle at the Valley of the End...Uchiha, Madara!"

Hearing Madara's name, Hiruzen almost dropped the pipe in his hand!

This time, due to Ruoshui's interference, Itachi did not have direct contact with the masked Obito, so he did not know the information about the 'Akatsuki' behind Obito.

Itachi slowly took off his forehead protector, rubbed it lovingly, then reluctantly put it in front of Hiruzen, turned around and said goodbye: "From now on, I am no longer the Uchiha Itachi of Konoha. Over the years, thanks to your Take care and take care!”

Itachi disappeared in the night wind. Hiruzen leaned over and picked up Itachi's forehead protector. The bright surface of the forehead protector reflected Hiruzen's sad face.

"Sigh... Some people, even if they leave Konoha, still care about the safety of the village, but some people are just worried about the stability of the world, regardless of the overall situation and the feelings of their compatriots. Danzo, you have disappointed me so much. !”

……

At dawn, in the Valley of the End, Ruoshui sat on top of Uchiha Madara's statue, waiting for the news from the horizon.

After working hard for the light these past few days, I finally got this moment of free time to sort out my thoughts.

In reality, he was abandoned by his parents because of a congenital eye disability, and spent a gloomy childhood in an orphanage. When he grew up, his best friend Lin Yu was the only light in his dark world.

Lin Yu, the young man with depression, promised to be his eyes.

But one morning, Lin Yu disappeared from the world without any news.

"I have no nostalgia for my parents, but I feel the pain of losing a close friend better than anyone else. After that, the only thing I longed for was light."

"The pain of not being able to get what I wanted made me despair and choose to end my life. However, there is always a way out, and I gained a new life in an unexpected way."

"Ayu...did you see it? In the world of Naruto that we traced together, I became Shisui! Where are you now? Heaven, or hell?"

"I have established a firm foothold here for the time being. My dear friend, please be my light and light the way forward for me!"

Swish!

Itachi arrived in a hurry: "Brother Zhisui, I'm not too late."

Ruoshui smiled and said, "It's not too late, you came just in time."

Thousands of rays of light tore through the darkness. Ruoshui and Weasel stood side by side, looking at the rising sun on the horizon!

Ruoshui's bright eyes are good at gazing, and she stretches her arms like a pilgrim, embracing the light that falls into her arms, and crying!

At this moment, the dark soul has truly been saved!

Ruoshui wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes and saw Itachi looking at him intently.

Itachi: "This is my first time seeing Brother Zhisui cry."

Ruoshui: "This is the first time and the last time..."

Itachi: "Brother Shisui, if you don't mind, you can use my shoulder..."

Ruoshui smiled noncommittally and said seriously: "Let's go, Itachi, follow me to the bright future..."

Kogakure Village, the sixth largest ninja village in the ninja world, is about to take the stage of the ninja world, and Wakamizu will also shoulder the title of the first generation Kage in the name of Uchiha Shisui!
