Uchiha Itachi didn't know what a glance at a person means.

For him, everything is a gift for a lifetime.

Being praised by his father for his gift of photographic memory was just an additional burden for him.

Itachi has lived in this world and has met many, many people.

They all have the ability to forget.

But he is not blessed - life is to grow old, life is to forget.

He was deprived of the ability to forget.

My father always said that this was a special mutation of the Sharingan that only appears once in a hundred years.

It is a gift from fate, a gift from the times and bloodline.

"The ability to forget is the gift of life..."

"What is life?"

In the latter question, Uchiha Itachi met his gaze for ten thousand years.

That's a pair of eyes.

Pure white eyes, with no visible pupils and no visible dividing line between the white of the eye and the iris.

Is that a human eye?

Uchiha Itachi actually seldom goes out - if a one-year-old child goes out often, that would be disastrous!

But as his father's proud son, he has been a "giant panda" that people from all walks of life love to visit since he was born.

He had seen many eyes.

Black, blue, red...

As for the white one, it’s not that I have never seen it before.

But all these eyes are different from those eyes.

Five years passed in a flash, time is like fish in the river.

I saw it swimming away, but I couldn't catch it.

The scales can irritate your skin, leaving your hands with a fishy smell.

Uchiha Itachi couldn't explain what this feeling was.

They say the eyes are the windows to the soul.

But as the son of a ninja, the first concepts he came into contact with were contrary to this.

This is one-sided, subjective, and emotional.

Most of the time, a first look at the eyes can be extremely misleading.

But Uchiha Itachi still couldn't help but go and see.

What are eyes?

What kind of eyes are you looking for?

He seemed to be confused since he was born.

When you lose the ability to forget, some emotions will also disappear.

He doesn't know what forgetting is, nor does he know what remembering is.

He was missing most of his life's journey from the very beginning.

It’s just because of the so-called “Sharingan mutation”.

Sensitivity to eyes seems to be a natural characteristic of the Uchiha clan.

How can we stop paying attention? How can we stop comparing ourselves to others?

He can't stop.

This is the nature of human survival, a nature buried in the bones and hidden in the muscles.

Something closer to the soul than the body.

Life lies in restraint, perhaps.

Growth is a part of life, and growth means restraint.

To be honest, even Uchiha Itachi himself thought about it. Isn't it inappropriate for a child under ten years old to think about these things?

But the fact is that once some ideas come into being, there is no turning back.

Just the eyes I saw that day.

It made Uchiha Itachi never forget it.

There must be a response, but it comes a little late.

"What did you do, Itachi?"

"I came back too late."

My father still looked serious.

Whether it is towards family members or tribesmen, he only has this one expression.

Itachi simply knelt down at the door. He looked calm, as if nothing had happened today.

"I just ran into a classmate I met at the Ninja School, which delayed me for some time."

People always place their hopes on those who have a better future than themselves.

They no longer see a future in themselves.

So put the weight of your gaze on others.

Just like Uchiha Fugaku.

The head of the Uchiha clan.

When he reached middle age, he placed the hopes of his family on his nine-year-old son.

Whether it was the title of genius or the once-in-a-century Uchiha - these had no practical meaning to Itachi.

The pressure on me is the expectation from my father.

It's a mission from my father.

Itachi was not averse to training and becoming stronger. On the contrary, he enjoyed the process of achieving success through practice.

Even Itachi himself didn't want to admit that he was indeed worthy of the title of genius.

Most skills and knowledge can always be learned before he gets bored.

Even if there are a few who can't, it's just an occasional spice of life.

For him, the pain and sense of accomplishment brought by learning and practicing are almost equal.

This is a treatment that ordinary children do not have.

Just looking at others, Uchiha Itachi would think so.

Maybe he is special.

When we come to this world, we have our own special mission and mission.

No one's ability is without price. The greater your ability, the greater the responsibility you must take.

Fugaku always told him so.

"Okay, let's go practice."

The Uchiha clan leader seemed to be in a bad mood.

This person is always like this. When he encounters something unpleasant at work, he will take it out on his wife and children.

His naive mother still thinks that she didn't do well enough.

It's ridiculous.

The smarter a person is, the more he understands things...

Beyond age.

This kind of completeness is inhumane - as someone once said to Itachi:

For some things, perhaps not knowing is happiness.

Itachi agreed with this.

The fog of the unknown brings happiness.

Is this the true meaning of life?

Itachi didn't know, he was always searching.

Nine years passed quickly, and he worked hard all the way, from the initial Genin to the current Chunin. In nine years, he witnessed all kinds of people in the world. They have different appearances, shapes and colorful eyes. Every pair of eyes contains endless emotions and desires - joy, sadness; anger, fear; or hope and loss.

This belongs to human beings.

Eyes that belong to living, human beings.

These eyes are not just eyes, they are all people's deepest expectations and wishes. However, among the many complex emotions, there is a most simple and deep desire, which is the persistent pursuit of survival.

This desire comes from the human cognition of death: humans know that life is limited and will inevitably end one day. Because death is inevitable, people cherish every day of their lives and try their best to live.

In this vast world, countless creatures are struggling on the brink of life and death. Some people do whatever it takes to survive, even abandoning dignity and morality; while others choose to stick to their beliefs and write their own chapters of life with courage and wisdom. Regardless of the method, everyone is interpreting the meaning of "living" in their own unique way...

But no matter what, it all comes back to the question of the center of the circle.

The relationship between life and death.

Life and death, in their eyes, are always in conflict.

However, these eyes are completely different from those pure white eyes.

Having desires is evidence that a person is alive.

In those eyes, there is the desire of the owner.

But there is no fear of death.

Itachi still feels surprised when he thinks about it now.

He walked alone on the wooden corridor. It was getting late and it was time for Shisui to come back.

The Uchiha have their own backyard.

The very large back mountain seems to highlight the Uchiha's extraordinary status in Konoha.

With such a sharp edge, sooner or later one day...

Cursing the family like this doesn't seem very good. But the people here have always only thought about how to expand, but never thought about how to be restrained.

"Konoha Guard..."

Itachi muttered this to himself as he threw the kunai in his hand at the target in front of him.

Is it right or wrong to go find Uchiha Obito and Hatake Kakashi today?

Itachi didn't know, but what was done had already been done - how could nine years of waiting not be waiting for this day?

When life and death coexist - people who build life on death.

He had only seen the eye roll that day.

Nothing else.

"It's rare that you can throw it wrong."

"Itachi."

The owner of the voice is Uchiha Shisui.

The genius Uchiha known as Shisui of the Flash.

This area is truly a golden age for the Uchiha people, full of geniuses.

Even taking over the entire Konoha is no problem at all.

The above is the evaluation of Shisui by Uchiha Itachi, the son of the Uchiha clan leader.

He is both a teacher and a friend, a genius big brother in the clan - not everyone can be treated this way.

"Brother Shisui."

"Thinking about something?"

Itachi never deliberately hid anything from Shisui, except for some personal privacy issues, which he was always willing to express.

No matter how cold-hearted a person is, if he doesn't say a word, he will eventually break down.

Uchiha Itachi is a person who will do everything to balance for his own mental health.

But it’s about the owner of the white eyes that day.

He didn't want to say it.

It's like a dog that finds a bone on its own and is willing to bury it rather than share it with its companions.

Of course, if the companion is replaced by the master at this time, the result will be very different.

Ultimately, it’s the structure of the relationship that’s wrong.

But this is according to Itachi's subjective will.

The alpha wolf of a wolf pack always has absolute leadership over the other members of the pack.

All information and experience are highly concentrated.

"let me guess..."

Shisui was laughing as he watched Itachi throw another kunai.

This time, it hit.

"It's something related to him."

"The white eyes you saw that day will haunt you forever."

Shisui's voice was as gentle as the gurgling of water, just like the warm and pleasant sunshine in spring, gently falling on the earth. However, this familiar and kind voice made Itachi feel inexplicably heavy at the moment, and it was difficult for him to feel a trace of joy in his heart.

He stood there quietly, his eyes deep and complicated, as if he wanted to catch something from Shisui's words, but he could not find the answer. Every word of Shisui was like an invisible sword, piercing the softest corner of Itachi's heart, making him unable to escape and nowhere to hide.

Being cared for by those close to you should be one of the rare joys in life.

But up, down, left, and right, once the keyword "life" is touched, Itachi will feel uncomfortable.

And those white eyes.

"Yes."

Itachi's voice was dry.

"There are two kids asking around."

Shisui had no intention of letting Itachi go.

No matter who you are, you cannot escape the trap of finding happiness in amusing children.

Happiness is temporary, but for some children, there are more important things than short-term happiness.

But now Shisui has no way to retreat.

"You came back very late today, Itachi."

According to Itachi's usual time, he should have returned half an hour ago.

When he was found by himself, Itachi had already entered into complete training state.

Shisui was still smiling.

He knew what Itachi wanted and what Itachi's problem was.

But these answers can only be obtained by Itachi himself.

"I went to look for them."

"The two children who have the same goal as you."

The kunai trembled as it flew towards the target, but still hit the target.

"Yes, Shisui-nii."

"it is good!"

The sound of still water is like a clear spring, gurgling by, with a comfortable and gentle breath; at the same time, it is like the rising sun, exuding vigorous vitality.

These two completely different but complementary qualities blended perfectly together, interweaving and penetrating into the quiet night. Finally, they turned into an invisible sound wave, passing through layers of darkness and accurately reaching Itachi's sensitive earlobes.

"Today! I will show you what a great throwing technique is!"

"Watch out, Itachi!"
