In the evening, Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Itachi sat at the dinner table in silence. Even Kanon, who was usually the best at maintaining family ties, was now a little busy and overwhelmed.

Because the relationship was really tense at that time, the meal ended with Kanon constantly finding topics to talk about and everyone responding to the conversation sporadically.

Only his mother, Uchiha Mikoto, was still normal. The rest seemed to be worried. Even Sasuke, who usually chatted with Itachi at the dinner table every day, was silent tonight.

Nearly another half a month passed, and the thin crescent gradually swelled until it was full and round, almost becoming a silver plate hanging in the sky.

Under Shinobu's instruction, Kanon finally mastered most of the C-level ninjutsu of the five types of ninjutsu, and her talent was also revealed, as she had developed lava ninjutsu through the combination of fire ninjutsu and earth ninjutsu.

And he developed a new ninjutsu, which is an A-level ninjutsu, belonging to Kanon's Lava Release Ninjutsu, Lava Release: Rock and Fire Barrier (actually it is just a combination ninjutsu, not a bloodline limit).

First, use the ability of Earth Flow Wall to create a solid rock and earth wall as a basic defense.

Then, through the technology of fire extinguishing, the blazing flames covered the rock and soil wall, forming a lava wall that was both resistant to high temperatures and had strong defensive capabilities.

This wall can not only block the enemy's physical attacks, but also burn or even melt the metal weapons or ninja tools that penetrate it.

It was the first ninjutsu that Kanon developed herself, and even the little ninja praised it highly.

"Well, today's practice was good, it's time to go home and eat!"

"But Shinobu, I want to force open the fifth door tomorrow. Is that okay?" Kanon said to Shinobu in her inner world.

"Not yet. If you open the five doors now, your body won't be able to handle it."

"All right..."

"Let's consolidate our ninjutsu tomorrow, focusing on physical skills." Shinobu's voice came from Kanon's mind.

"Shinobu, why do you want to help me become stronger?" On the way home, Kanon asked the girl in her mind who looked exactly like her.

"No reason, because you are Uchiha Kanon, and I also want to help you find the colorful flower field in your heart, that's all..."

"Okay, then let's work hard together!" Hanane smiled gently.

......

In the Hokage's office.

Itachi was half-kneeling on the ground, and in front of him sat four old men, namely the leader of the Root, Danzo Shimura, Mito Kado En, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Koharu.

"The Uchiha clan is determined to launch a revolution in Konoha." Itachi told the four people the information he knew, and looked at the four old men he respected without saying a word.

Danzo, who was sitting on the far left, spoke first.

"The situation is urgent. We must strike first before they start a rebellion!"

The third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, had a different opinion from Danzo.

"The Uchiha were once comrades. We should not use force. We should negotiate with them. I will come up with a solution."

After the meeting, Danzo summoned Uchiha Itachi in a private capacity.

He looked at Uchiha Itachi, sighed softly and said.

"Although the Third Hokage said that, at the critical moment, we must act to protect Konoha!"

"I hope you'll make the choice to side with the Uchiha and launch a coup, and be wiped out along with your family."

"Stand on the side of our Konoha. Leave only your brother behind before the coup to help us annihilate the Uchiha clan."

Itachi was also shocked when he heard the choice given by Danzo.

"Annihilate the Uchiha clan?!"

"That's right!" Danzo walked to Itachi's side.

"In order to protect the village, we must settle the dispute before chaos occurs."

"Itachi, the only ninja capable of this mission is you, a double agent for the Uchiha and Konoha!"

"Are you willing to accept this mission?"

At this time, there was thunder in the sky. Itachi looked at the palms and backs of his hands, then turned and asked Danzo.

"What about my sister, Uchiha Kanon?"

Danzo shook his head firmly.

"You can only choose one to stay between your brother and sister."

After saying this, Danzo left, leaving Uchiha Itachi standing there in a daze.

The next day, watching Kanon and Sasuke leave one after another, Uchiha Itachi also stood on the telephone pole. Looking at Kanon and Sasuke going in opposite directions, he still chose to follow Sasuke.

After all, Kanon's training was very boring, and he had seen it once or twice before, both of which were practicing physical skills.

He sat on the telephone pole outside the Ninja School, thinking all day while watching Sasuke training hard at the Ninja School.

In the evening, they came to the place where Uchiha Shisui jumped off the cliff. No one would come here. At this time, Itachi sat here with mixed feelings in his heart.

"Should I keep my sister Kanon alive, or keep my brother Sasuke alive?" This question echoed in his mind like a never-ending elegy.

Kanon, the girl who always calls him "Itachi-kun" in a gentle voice, has an innocent smile and is a very considerate person.

Her eyes are full of curiosity and yearning for the world, and she should have a bright future.

Sasuke, the younger brother who grew up shoulder to shoulder with him, pesters him every day, wants to practice with him, and his thinking is not very mature, but he is a younger brother he likes very much.

Itachi closed his eyes, his heart was trembling, and every heartbeat reminded him that this choice would change the fate of everyone.

He knew that no matter who he chose, it would mean the sacrifice of another person, and that his soul would be devoured by endless regret and pain.

But now he has to make a choice.

His heart gradually became clear in the torment. He knew that he could no longer be swayed by his emotions. He had to consider the overall situation, the peace of Konoha Village, and the future of the Uchiha clan.

Finally, Itachi made a decision.

He chose Sasuke, the brother who had more power and more understanding.

He knew that as long as Sasuke was alive, the Uchiha clan could continue on the road to revival and could also bring true peace to Konoha in the future.

When Itachi opened his eyes, there was no more confusion in his eyes, only determination and resoluteness. He would protect Sasuke with his life.

Even if it meant that he would walk alone in the darkness, carrying all the sin and pain and hatred.

"I'm sorry, Kanon..." Itachi whispered softly, his voice full of love and sacrifice. He kept this decision deep in his heart.

He turned and walked into the stormy night, leaving behind Kanon's memories and Sasuke's future.

But this choice made him recall the image of Kanon from childhood to adulthood. Itachi had held her in his arms as a baby since the day she was born.

Thinking of the repeated calls of "Brother Itachi" from childhood to adulthood, that soft voice flowed in Itachi's heart. On his way home, tears actually flowed from his scarlet Mangekyō Sharingan.
