My journey to Konoha

Witnessing Itachi's out-of-control behavior and expression, Chu Yue couldn't help but step forward and put her hand on Itachi's shoulder, "Itachi, don't get excited..."

"Shisui!! What happened to you? Don't tell me you're going to die!!"

However, Itachi was still very excited and did not listen to Chu Yue's words of comfort.

Snapped!

Chu Yue decisively slapped Itachi.

"What do you want! Shisui is like this now, take him back immediately!" Chu Yue shouted at Itachi. Itachi was startled, and his excited expression instantly subsided. He suppressed his inner grief, nodded to Chu Yue, and then carried Shisui on his back.

However, just as Itachi was about to return, Shisui's weak voice rang out: "Is that Itachi..."

"Shisui! Don't talk! I'll take you back right away!" Itachi responded and started to run quickly. Chu Yue and Shen Wu followed closely behind.

"Stop, stop..." Shisui suddenly said.

"What's the matter?" Itachi was surprised, but based on his understanding of Shisui, he still stopped.

At this moment they had just crossed a river, and Itachi placed Shisui by the river.

"What's wrong?" Chu Yue asked.

"There is...anbu, trying to kill me..." Shisui said this without opening his eyes.

"Anbu?! Why?!" Itachi was puzzled, "How could Hokage-sama..."

"It's... 'root'..."

As soon as the word "root" came out, Itachi was stunned and clenched his fists.

"Wait a moment!" Chu Yue suddenly said, "I know the water escape technique and some healing techniques. Don't move. I will heal you immediately."

"The other person...is it Chu Yue?" Shisui suddenly asked.

"It's me." Chu Yue responded, "Shen Wu is here too."

Shisui nodded, "Luckily you found me..."

"Don't worry, the Anbu have left." Chu Yue said, "There is no one else around. My bloodline ability is quite useful."

"Is that so..." Shisui paused and shook his head, "But, there is no need to take him back... The one who wants to kill me is Danzo. If I go back, it will be like walking into a trap."

"Asshole!" Itachi yelled.

"Well, Itachi, I will tell you what just happened." Shisui said, "but you have to keep it a secret for me."

"Kamiwu and I will keep it a secret." Chu Yue said while healing his wounds.

"Thank you." said Shisui.

Then, Shisui briefly recounted the story of being hunted by Danzo. Of course, he did not mention the betrayal of the Uchiha clan.

Chu Yue and Itachi knew about this.

"Itachi... the only thing that worries me is the family affairs..." Shisui said, "Itachi, I can't go back to the village..."

"Shisui..."

"Not only that, now I can't even protect my left eye..." Shisui tried hard to open his eyes, but the area where his right eye should be... was empty.

"Although his left eye was not taken away by Danzo, he tried to dig it out and is now completely blind... Now..." Shisui stretched out his hand and quickly pointed at his left eye.

"Ah!!!" Shisui screamed in pain, holding his left eyeball in his hand, and forced a smile to Itachi, "Left eye, Itachi, you must accept it..."

Itachi was stunned... and watched as Shisui dug out his left eye in an instant, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should take over.

"Itachi! What are you thinking about! Don't you know Shisui less than I do?!" Chu Yue's voice called Itachi back.

Itachi gritted his teeth and took Shisui's eyeball with trembling hands...

"Kotoamatsukami... it's the power of my Mangekyō Sharingan... you'll know its specific effects once you install it..." Shisui said.

"Well, well..." Tears quietly slid down Itachi's cheeks.

"Chu Yue, it's okay, it's fine." Shisui closed his eyes and smiled at Chu Yue.

"No! Don't force yourself. It's only been a short while..."

"That's enough." Shisui smiled at Chu Yue.

Seeing Shisui's expression, Chu Yue understood what he was going to do.

Chu Yue wanted to stop him, but finally stood up because she found that she could not find a reason to stop Shisui.

To him, letting Shisui continue to live like this was like an insult.

"To prevent Danzo from continuing to investigate this matter, Itachi, take this with you." Shisui handed Itachi a scroll.

"This is?"

"My 'suicide note'." Shisui said to Itachi.

"......" Itachi was silent. When he took Shisui's eyeball, Itachi already knew Shisui's plan.

"I'll leave the family affairs to you." Shisui said, trying his best to stand up.

Turning to face the wide river, Shisui said, "The ninja who guards peace in the dark is the real ninja!" After that, he jumped into the river.

......

Konoha Village.

Chu Yue, Shen Wu and Itachi returned on foot.

It was already late when we arrived.

After bidding farewell to Itachi, Chu Yue and Kanna return.

Finally... Is Shisui leaving in this way...

Chu Yue sighed softly. Shisui's last words were: "The ninja who maintains peace in secret is the real ninja!" It was not only a last word to Itachi, but also a warning to Chu Yue...

Chu Yue looked up at the night sky, but the clouds were too thick, there were no stars, and even the moonlight was blurry.

So... Shisui is gone, and Itachi's death will not be far away...

......

Chu Yue anticipated Itachi's impending fate.

However, I never expected it to happen so quickly.

After many unexpected events last night, Chu Yue originally planned to sleep in and have a good rest this morning, but was woken up by the noise outside.

“Damn it! What’s going on? There are people making such noise here?!” Chu Yue opened the door dissatisfiedly.

As soon as she opened the door, Chu Yue heard someone outside say:

The Uchiha family... was exterminated!

"What did you say!?" Chu Yue, without even putting on clothes, came to the man in an instant and grabbed his collar, "What did you say!?"

"Chu Yue?!" The passerby saw Chu Yue, although not angry, but quite unhappy, "What are you doing! "

"What did you say just now!?" Chu Yue asked loudly again.

"The Uchiha family has been exterminated!" A passerby said to Chu Yue, "The whole village knows about it. The secret guards have set up restrictions on the periphery of the Nether Forest to prevent ordinary people from approaching. The entire Uchiha clan's territory is surrounded by talismans and filled with a heavy breath of underworld evil.

There was an endless stream of healing teams, with disciples in plain white robes coming in and out. But every group that came out carried a stretcher covered with a spell.

The moment the door opened, what came into view was the red spiritual fluid flowing all over the ground...

"Itachi...you would actually..." Chu Yue murmured softly.

"Chu Yue." Shen Wu suddenly called.

"Hmm?" Chu Yue turned to Shen Wu.

Shenwu handed the clothes to Chu Yue.

“……” Chu Yue took it, ignored the gazes of others, and put it on.

"Everyone, please make way. The survivor is out." At this time, an uncovered stretcher was pushed out, and lying on it was... Uchiha, Sasuke.

"Sasuke!" Chu Yue quickly walked to Sasuke's side, "Sasuke!"

Sasuke fell into a deep sleep and could not respond to Chu Yue. She hurriedly asked the disciple who was healing him: "How is Sasuke?!"

"He just fell into a coma temporarily...but..."

"But what?!"

"He seemed to have suffered a strong spiritual shock before he fell into a coma. He was so seriously injured. I'm afraid he was hit by a high-level illusion... But I don't understand what kind of powerful illusion could cause this child to be so seriously injured..."

"What about Sasuke?" Chu Yue asked.

"It depends on him..." The healing disciple replied, "If his will is not strong, perhaps he will never wake up..."

Chu Yue didn't ask any more questions, just watched Sasuke being carried away, and returned to the entrance of the Uchiha Clan.

The Uchiha clan... Most of the cultivators of this clan had been wiped out by Uchiha Itachi.

Chu Yue looked at the stretchers being carried out one by one, and watched the secret guards going in one after another, but she still waited outside.

When the crowd saw that no more stretchers were coming out, they gradually dispersed, except Chu Yue who did not move.

Finally, a person walked out, and it was the person Chu Yue was waiting for.

"Master." Chu Yue bowed to the visitor.

"Chu Yue?" The Third Hokage looked at Chu Yue in surprise, "Why are you here?"

"I... came to take a look. After all, Sasuke, Itachi, and Shisui are all my friends..."

"..." The Third Hokage was silent for a moment, then said to Chu Yue, "Chu Yue, you go back first."

"Why?!" Chu Yue asked unwillingly.

"Ridiculous!" The Third Hokage was a little angry, "This matter is beyond your reach! Now, go back immediately!"

Chu Yue was stunned for a moment, then she understood. In the eyes of the Third Hokage, even though she was so outstanding, she was still a young boy.

Chu Yue said no more and left with Shen Wu.

Dark clouds still cover the sky.

The first healing pavilion in Konoha Village.

After knocking on the door, the healing disciple inside turned around and saw Chu Yue and Shen Wu.

"Sorry, he is my friend, can I visit him?" Chu Yue asked.

"He is your friend." The healing disciple said, "You should stay with him. He is seriously hurt right now, so give him some encouragement."

"Okay." Chu Yue nodded.

Chu Yue and Shen Wu came in and sat next to Sasuke. Other things were put aside for the time being.

Encouraging Sasuke was useless. He was affected by Itachi's "Moon Reading" and fell into a coma. My own encouragement was useless.

What's more, when you think about the scene Itachi showed Sasuke...he was just a child of eight or nine years old!

Chu Yue stayed with Sasuke until the night, but Sasuke still did not wake up. However, to Chu Yue's surprise, several guests came to Sasuke's room at night.

"Chu Yue..." Naruto walked in, rarely joking.

"Naruto?" Chu Yue was surprised.

"Yeah." Naruto nodded, "I heard about Sasuke."

"Really..." Chu Yue replied.

Because of me, Naruto and Sasuke met before the Uchiha family was exterminated...

"That... Chu Yue..." Then, another voice came from behind Naruto.

"Hinata?" Chu Yue was quite surprised. Naruto came to see Sasuke because he was good friends with Sasuke. But Hinata...also got to know Sasuke because of Chu Yue, right? As classmates, they had a good relationship?

"I came to see you, Chu Yue... and Sasuke-kun." Hinata said.

"Is that so..." Chu Yue said.

It turns out Hinata is worried about herself...

"Ningji is here too?" Chu Yue saw that Neji was behind Hinata.

"I heard from Hinata-sama that she came to see you and Sasuke, and I happened to have nothing to do, so I followed her here." Neji explained.

"Haha." Chu Yue chuckled, "You all know about Sasuke, right?"

Naruto, Hinata, and Neji all nodded.

After all, the Uchiha clan was massacred, and it was hard to hide this... and Sasuke became the only survivor...

"Sasuke was never good at speaking," Chu Yue said, "After this incident, he will become even more taciturn... and will definitely be even colder towards others..."

Chu Yue looked at the three of them, "So, I hope that when Sasuke wakes up, everyone can... continue to treat him as a friend."

"Well! Leave it to me!" Naruto said cheerfully.

"I will treat Sasuke as my friend!" Hinata said.

"I can't do much if we're not in the same class," Neji said, "but I'll try to help if I can."

Chu Yue suddenly smiled.

This is what friends are...

Hinata and Neji are friends of Chu Yue, and so is Sasuke. Because of Chu Yue, they will try to become friends with Sasuke.

This is what friends are.

Sasuke, I won't be alone anymore...

"Chu Yue! Let's accompany Sasuke together!" Naruto said, sitting next to Chu Yue.

"Well, accompany Sasuke-kun." Hinata also sat next to Naruto.

"We still have time." Neji said, "Since Lady Hinata has sat down..." As he said that, Neji sat next to Hinata.

Including Kanna, the five of them sat around Sasuke, quietly waiting for Sasuke to wake up.

Occasionally a doctor or nurse would pass by and see this scene and couldn't help but smile.

This survivor of the Uchiha clan does have a group of close friends.

Although all five of them hoped that Sasuke would wake up soon, he did not overcome his inner demons while they were waiting.

Hinata and Neji had strict family rules, so they waited for a while and then left. Chu Yue, Kanna and Naruto stayed with no one to worry about them.

As the night deepened, Chu Yue asked Naruto: "Naruto, don't you have to go back?"

"It's okay. No one's home anyway," Naruto replied.

"But I still have classes tomorrow, is that okay?" Chu Yue asked.

"It's okay!" Naruto said, "So what if I skip class? What's the point of me going to class alone if Sasuke doesn't wake up?"

"Well... skipping class is not a good idea." Chu Yue said, "But, this time it's up to you."

Chu Yue and Kanna never closed their eyes and stayed by Sasuke's side. But Naruto couldn't do that and fell asleep on Sasuke in the middle of the night.

Chu Yue looked out the window, only to see that the starry sky outside was still hidden.

It has been cloudy these days...but no rain...

Early in the morning... In the silence, Naruto slowly opened his spiritual eyes, stood up from the bed, and brushed away the mist in his eyes.

"Naruto, you're awake." Chu Yue whispered to him.

"Ah... Chu Yue..." Naruto responded, "How is Sasuke? Has he awakened?"

Chu Yue shook her head slightly, "Not yet, but are you really going to ignore your schoolwork?"

"Ah!" Naruto suddenly realized and glanced at the clock in the room, "Ah! The time has come!"

"Because today is the dark day, the outside world is still unclear. In addition, you practiced until late last night, so it is normal for you to get up at this time." Chu Yue explained.

"Ah! Chu Yue, why didn't you wake me up?!" Naruto said anxiously.

"How could I bear to see you sleeping so peacefully?" Chu Yue replied, "Besides...didn't you also say yesterday that you wanted to skip classes and practice?"

"Chu Yue, you..." Naruto was obviously no match for Chu Yue in the debate.

"Don't be so angry." Chu Yue whispered to Naruto, "You should return to the academy as soon as possible, confess the matter to your master, and seek forgiveness with the truth."

"Uh..." Naruto hesitated for a moment and looked at Sasuke, "But Sasuke..."

"Don't worry." Chu Yue smiled, "If Sasuke wakes up, I will notify you immediately."

It was already late, so Naruto said no more, said goodbye to Chu Yue and left the room.

After Naruto left, Chu Yue turned to look at Sasuke lying on the sickbed.

He is deeply trapped in the Tsukuyomi illusion created by Itachi, and the tragedy of the massacre of his people keeps repeating itself. It is not easy to break free from this illusion...

"Chu Yue, don't you want to give him a helping hand?" Shen Wu asked from the side.
