Naruto: The hardworking model who realizes his dream is actually the white moonlight of the ninja wo

How does it feel when things go against your wishes?

It's hard to say.

This is a rather ambiguous feeling that is difficult to describe.

Uchiha Itachi thought about what he was doing and what he was doing.

To give your people a better life?

Obviously not.

For the peace of Konoha?

It seems a little unsatisfactory.

Except for the day when I completed the task, every step thereafter was a mistake upon mistake.

The chain of misfortune continues.

But as the leader, I can't stop.

His hopes, his wishes, his dreams.

The thing that I pursued was destroyed by my own choice.

"Why did you choose to commit suicide?"

Sasuke stopped attacking, the killing intent in his eyes gone.

No, it wasn't like this at the beginning.

When Uchiha Itachi heard his brother's question, his hands moved with hesitation.

My own brother once had a better look.

Whether it is full of hatred or pure as a blank sheet of paper.

They are all unique eyes that belong to my younger brother.

A newborn baby is observing the world.

Every stroke of color seems to find its own shadow.

Is he doing the right thing?

Or I made the wrong choice from the very beginning.

"Uchiha Itachi..."

As if sensing his brother's falling emotions, Uchiha Sasuke slowed down his voice.

Indeed, at the beginning, he wanted to tear this man into pieces.

He destroyed the entire Uchiha.

The dream of all Uchiha clan members, including their future status in the clan.

Danzo Shimura was sentenced to life imprisonment and would never see the light of day again.

However, due to the joint liability, Uchiha cannot appear in the public eye.

"Long live Lord Danzo."

It was written in the blood of the Uchiha.

"My helper is..."

"The Uchiha clan."

Danzo's hands were shackled, and kneeling beside him was Uchiha Shisui.

It shouldn't be like this.

Sasuke, who was still a little child, was led by his blind father.

All the clan members, except Uchiha Itachi, knelt behind Danzo.

"Things should be seamless!"

"Damn it, who is it?"

He could not forget his father's whispered curses.

"If I hadn't given birth to this evil child, Itachi..."

The father slapped the mother on the back.

Anger and resentment filled Sasuke's entire childhood.

This family should have been happy.

Maybe, there is no happiness at all.

It’s just that compared to the misfortunes happening now, the misfortunes of the past seem to be more easily ignored.

Without misfortune, there would only be happiness.

The father is still the same father, and the tribesmen around him are still standing there as before.

Just because he was retained with a pair of eyes, he became the most special one in the tribe.

"Fugaku, look at what your son has done!"

"Why not dig out Sasuke's eyes as well - as an apology!"

His eyes were finally saved.

But his family became the most lowly existence in the Uchiha clan.

My father, who was the patriarch yesterday, gets drunk every day and beats me and my mother whenever he is unhappy.

If Uchiha Itachi hadn't done that...

If Uchiha Itachi was still alive...

At first, my dream seemed to be just to be brought out of this hell by my brother.

But the other party doesn't think so.

"Hate me!"

"Hate me!"

This way, Sasuke can survive from here.

“Today, I finally understand...”

The white-clad ninja made up his mind and put away his samurai sword.

"Perhaps, I never wanted to kill you from the beginning."

Sasuke just kept avoiding it.

The source of hatred is not just yourself.

And there is Uchiha Itachi.

My brother is hoping, and I resent him.

This is the driving force for becoming stronger and the direction for moving forward.

“If there is a leader, it will be easier for those behind.”

"You want to be my front-runner, right?"

The white samurai sword was taken from his waist, and Sasuke's tone was hesitant, but rare and gentle.

He had thought about it before he came.

What are you here for?

Uchiha Itachi is dead.

suicide.

So he decided to change the subject.

Itachi did not directly respond to Sasuke's question about the front-runner.

He tilted his head to one side, saying nothing, yet it seemed as if he had said everything.

The truth of that day could no longer be concealed.

Should I talk to Sasuke about what happened on the day of the clan meeting?

"Sasuke..."

"Why did you commit suicide?"

This was a tone that Sasuke himself thought was gentle.

He has not been able to speak much since he was a child.

I was left alone at home with only my mother to take care of me.

All I have is my father’s stern back and my busy brother.

The child's childhood, as for the happiness part, does not seem to be happy.

Children who do not have enough experience in interacting with others will always be unable to speak fluently.

He was always straightforward - but Sasuke wasn't a bad boy.

Uchiha Itachi was stunned. He had followed Sasuke a lot when he was alive.

It’s better to say that I’m always tracking you.

This child has a cold personality and doesn't like to talk to others except when practicing.

Plus, he doesn't have much respect for teachers. Simply put, he is a boy who is very popular with girls but doesn't look like a standard young talent.

It's okay if you don't speak, but once you start speaking, it becomes a little weird.

My friend is the last one in the group, and the suitor next to me is a noisy and stupid woman...

What's wrong with a child who grows up wild being a little weird?

Uchiha Itachi would make excuses for his brother.

Including now.

Sasuke must have felt that the above topic didn't look good, so he was now urgently changing the subject.

Well, maybe it's not urgent.

Just changing the subject.

It's just my stupid brother. Understanding your thoughts and understanding the topic you are trying to change are two different things.

It seems like things are becoming even more unacceptable.

Uchiha Sasuke has always been confident.

But that doesn't mean he couldn't notice the subtle changes in the atmosphere around him.

He is a delicate person - although there is a subtle difference from the outside world's impression of him.

But it is this subtle delicacy that allows him to find his own place in social interpersonal relationships.

Isn’t this what the so-called contrast cuteness is all about?

so awkward.

Do something to relieve it.

But what to do?

The samurai sword was picked up again, and the white blade flashing with cold light pointed directly at Uchiha Itachi.

The blade was sharp, and the lower half of Uchiha Itachi's face was clearly reflected on it.

Including the very conspicuous eight-character pattern.

The blade trembled slightly, as the pressure was expanding when it was pulled out.

The buzzing sound was a demonstration of hand-to-hand combat, and it found its own place in this small-scale confrontation.

"Answer me..."

"Itachi Uchiha!"

Sasuke dropped his false gentleness - although it was true, he really wasn't good at it.

It's embarrassing, but it won't be embarrassing if you just show off a little more.

only...

Sasuke-kun, is it possible that the other party is a reincarnated body of the Impure World Reincarnation and has been dead for a long time and cannot die anymore?

No, absolutely not.

Why are dead people fighting here?

Boys aged sixteen or seventeen are in the prime of their youth.

That white clothes reminded Uchiha Itachi of another person.

Hyuuga Neji of Konoha.

He is him, but not him.

The boy was just there, maintaining his daily life.

It might be a better choice if you just haven’t met yourself!

Itachi didn't apply to himself at all what he had said to Neji who was holding Gaara.

Can't disturb.

It is absolutely not okay to get involved with the rebel ninja.

But the other one is different - he has become involved with the rebel ninja.

Don't think about these sad things...

Uchiha Itachi instinctively felt that if his younger brother found out that he was distracted at such an important moment, the knife would definitely come and cut his throat, regardless of whether he would really die or not.

There is no suspense at all.

"Humph..."

Itachi snorted coldly and prepared to use the same trick again.

"I'm stupid..."

"My stupid brother!"

Follow your brother's path and leave him with no way to go.

...?

"He died, so you died too, right?"

Perhaps the only time in Itachi Uchiha's life that he was free was when he ended his own life.

He is not a bird in a cage, but he is better than a bird in a cage.

It’s just that no one puts it in a cage; it is the bird itself that makes the cage for itself.

It was a nest and a cage.

It is an indestructible yet shaky cage that is made bit by bit using family and responsibility as raw materials.

He couldn't have died so easily.

He still has a lot to do.

Sasuke is not yet strong enough to survive in the chaotic world on his own.

He has not yet found the answer to life.

But...

None of this seems so important anymore.

Don't get me wrong, this is not a suicide.

"I don't have many years left to live."

Uchiha Itachi waved his hands and no longer thought about the fact that Sasuke had snatched the words from him.

"This body has already reached its limit."

He was just stating that those who are dead are dead after all.

The responsibility has been taken down once, and it would be unrealistic to put it up again.

"I still have eyes...why don't you..."

As long as he took away his eyes, Itachi could survive.

Just like he said at the beginning.

But...

Sasuke covered his eyes with his hands.

Itachi's eyes were presented to him like a gift.

"Happy sixteenth birthday, Sasuke."

The eyes are here, and there is no need to say more about where the owner of the eyes is.

This is definitely not a happy birthday.

He couldn't find where he should go.

Ninjas can hold their coming-of-age ceremony at the age of sixteen, and sixteen to twenty is an extremely wide time range.

Itachi couldn't wait.

Sasuke wondered, if it had said, "Happy 20th birthday to me," would everything be different?

"I never wanted to kill you."

"elder brother."

The words, which were ten years late, were finally spoken by the boy.

"I just want you to recognize me..."

"I want to be with you..."

Itachi's white pupils shrank, as if he didn't expect Sasuke to say such a thing.

The boy's tears fell like beads from a broken string, but before Itachi could respond, he felt his body become light.

The Impure World Reincarnation Technique has been lifted...

who is it?

When he turned around, he saw Obito standing beside him with a confused look on his face.

Other filthy earth bodies seem to... still be maintained?

"Brother! Brother!"

He saw his stupid brother crying with his face red.

Really relieved.

"Even a vengeful spirit like me can become a Buddha..."

The man's fingers, which were gradually disintegrating into pieces of paper, gently touched Sasuke's forehead.

"Next time, Sasuke."

What he got in return was the crying sound of a young boy.

"elder brother!"
