Ordinary People's Guide to Survival

As the young patriarch of the Uchiha family, Uchiha Itachi has never failed to live up to his identity. He was smart and hardworking since he was a child, and became a ninja at the age of seven. He is a veritable genius. What's more commendable is that he is gentle, polite and approachable, satisfying the elders While looking forward to it, I don’t lack my own opinions, so good that there are almost no shortcomings.

If nothing else, Uchiha Itachi will be the leader of Konoha's next generation.

Therefore, when the news came that he was selected by the daimyo as the guard of the youngest son, everyone was surprised and took it for granted.

Itachi Uchiha walked home with the certificate of commission issued by Lord Hokage, feeling unhappy along the way.If he goes to work as a guard for the nobles, it means that he will be away from home for a long time and miss Sasuke's growth, which makes him a little unhappy.

He pushed open the door and saw the elders sitting in the room, all congratulating him and telling him to have a good relationship with the child named Liuyuan Xingjian, only the father had a complicated expression.

Itachi is a little puzzled, it's not that the Uchiha family has never seen nobles, but why the elders are so excited about a guard mission.

After the guests left, he asked out his doubts.

The father looked at him for a while, and then said: "Hoshimi Liuyuan is the person who is predicted to end the war. The elders of the family hope that you have a good relationship with him, so that you can become the backing of my Uchiha family in the future."

Itachi thought it was funny, but he never knew that his family would believe such nonsense.

"There are some things I wanted to let you know when you were older. Since you are going to Daming Mansion, let me tell you now."

The patriarch of the Uchiha family showed memories, "There are actually more than one Hoshimi Liuyuan. There was Hoshimi Liuyuan 60 years ago, who can be regarded as the wife of the patriarch of the Uchiha family."

Uchiha Itachi's eyes widened in surprise, "...See you, Hoshi Liuyuan, is he a man?"

In order to ensure the purity of the bloodline and open the eyes of more members of the Uchiha family, they generally encourage intermarriage within the family. Not to mention men, even foreigners who want to marry with their own family will face a lot of resistance, and once they get married, they have to go to the family tree Yes, that is Mrs. So-and-so who is sure... He remembered that the patriarch 60 years ago was the Uchiha Madara who was rarely mentioned in the clan, right?

Uchiha Fugaku called his son back to the study, took out a painting from the interlayer of the bookshelf and slowly opened it.

In the painting is a frail beauty, eyes like glass and blue silk like waterfalls, skin like snow and lips like lacquer, her appearance is so exquisite that it is rare in the world but it will not make people mistake her gender.

The boy knelt under the cherry tree, and the petals fell on the plain white bathrobe, decorating the most dreamy and beautiful scenery in the world. He seemed to hear someone calling him. The brilliance dilutes the coldness between the brows, leaving only a full of dependence, making people wish that the person they trust so much is themselves, but there is still scum on the corners of his lips, confusing people without knowing it, pure and beautiful I want to hold him firmly in the palm of my hand.

Uchiha Itachi, who was only seven years old, had the most intuitive feeling for beauty for the first time.

Uchiha Fugaku also looked at the picture scroll, "This is Hoshimi Yanagihara. During the Warring States Period, people were precarious, and the ratio of men to women was out of balance. They didn't care much about morality and ethics. He is the second son of the fire country daimyo, and he should have been used as a tool for marriage. Married to Senshou Zhujian, at that time Madara-sama was worried that Senshou would become a big man, so he kidnapped her halfway."

As a result, Madara himself fell in love with him, and despite the opposition of the elder clan, he wanted to marry Liu Yuan Xingjian as his wife, and even suppressed resistance within the clan several times.

Uchiha Madara is rebellious and unruly, no one can change what he believes, and finally got his wish.

Liuyuan Xingjian took over the family's internal affairs after he married Madara. He expanded the family's business channels internally to increase financial revenue, formulated welfare measures to appease orphans and widowed mothers, and helped matchmaking externally, contacting daimyo and Senju and other ninjas.

The Uchiha family can now live well even if they don’t take on the task, which is inseparable from Liu Yuan Hoshimi’s original management.

"...Master Hoshimi has a high prestige in the clan, so that later Madara-sama rebelled against the village. The people of the clan hated him so much that they gritted their teeth, but they agreed with Master Hoshimi. If Master Hoshimi did not die early, the family might die It's a different look."

Uchiha Fugaku explained: "The family has paid close attention to this child who inherited the name of Hoshimi-sama since he was born. As long as he has half the ability of the one 60 years ago, the prophecy may come true."

Itachi looked straight at the smiling young man on the scroll, "How did he die?"

"...It is said that it has something to do with the tribe."

……

The melodious sound of the shamisen and the expensive powder of the nobles make up the splendor and prosperity of the Daming Mansion. The footsteps of the attendants are light, and there is no sound in their actions. This is a place that is completely different from the refreshing and lively Konoha Village. Free and undisciplined For ninjas who are used to it, they can't help but feel dull and depressed when they are in it.

Uchiha Itachi followed behind the attendants in a regular manner, passed through several corridors, and finally stopped in a courtyard. The shoji door slowly opened, and he saw for the first time the person he would protect in the future.

Liu Yuanxing was only about five years old. In the early spring, everyone else put on thin spring clothes, but he was still wrapped in a thick cloak. His face was pale, and his lips were pale. You could even smell him when you got close. With a faint medicinal fragrance, her delicate and indistinguishable appearance is weak because of the lingering sickness between her brows, like a flower swaying in a strong wind, and if she doesn't pay attention, her breath will be cut off.

The fragility of life is fully reflected in this person.

Looks like an easy guy to die.

This is Uchiha Itachi's first impression of Yanagihara Hoshimi.

The child who was two years younger than him smiled brightly, like thousands of stars falling into those glazed eyes, extremely dazzling, "Your name is Uchiha Itachi, I'm Liu Yuanxing, please give me your advice in the future."

Itachi was stunned, and the smiling child in front of him overlapped with the figure of the boy in the picture scroll for no reason.

They look so alike, is it because they are all from the blood of the Liuyuan family?

Itachi's silence caused Hoshiki Liuyuan to misunderstand, and quickly asked, "If you don't want to stay here, I can go and tell my father."

He comforted: "Don't be afraid, I don't need guards here, my father just wants to find me a playmate, if you miss home, please tell me."

"No, you misunderstood." It is undeniable that the friendly attitude of the second son of the daimyo made Uchiha Itachi, who was only seven years old, relax a lot, "I am happy to be your guard."

Hoshimi scrutinized Itachi's expression carefully, making sure that he was not lying, and suddenly became happy, "I always wanted to have a peer with whom I could play together, it's great that you are willing to stay!"

As he said that, he pushed the pastry plate on the table to the opposite side, "Want to eat wagashi? This is what Chun asked someone to make, it's delicious."

Against the expectant eyes of the other party, Itachi picked up one and put it in his mouth.

Sweet is his favorite taste.

The young ninja who had just arrived unknowingly softened his expression.

Uchiha Itachi is too precocious and always out of tune with his peers. He originally came here with the mentality of raising children, but he didn't expect that the person being taken care of would become himself instead.

Hoshimi Liuyuan is completely different from the nobles he has seen, and also different from his naive peers, there are always endless interesting things to say and do with him.

Here at Hoshimi, he is not a cold and ruthless tool, nor is he a genius of the Uchiha family who bears the expectations of his tribe. He is just a person, a living person who casts aside his identity and does not carry any labels.

Children don't have too many scruples like adults, and their friendship is warm and simple. Unknowingly, Itachi's address has changed from Hoshimi-sama to Hoshimi.

Seeing Hoshi, Itachi felt that the strict rules of the Daming Mansion were not so unbearable.

As time goes by, Itachi finds out that the life of Hoshimi, who seems to be aloof and superior, is not as smooth as outsiders think.

The second son of the fire country daimyo bears the name of the prophecy, and he becomes the target of all parties before he is born. The pregnant daimyo's wife is accidentally poisoned, and she died after giving birth to the child.

As the eldest son, Zongwang Liuyuan believed that the existence of Xingjian caused his mother's death. Coupled with the instigation of someone with good intentions, Zongwang Liuyuan hated and feared this weak brother from the bottom of his heart, and would come here to make trouble from time to time. Never won, but also very annoying.

After pushing Liu Yuan Zongwang away again, Xingjian pulled the grass leaves sullenly, and suddenly said: "Itachi, let's sneak out to play, I have never been out of the Daming Mansion since I grew up?"

Itachi flatly refused, "No, it's too dangerous."

When he raised his eyes, he met eyes full of longing. Those watery eyes made even hard-hearted people unable to say no to them.

Weasel:  …

Half an hour later, they stood on the busiest street in the capital.

The child couldn't wait to hold his hand and walk around, seeing everything novelty made Itachi think it would be good to come out like this once in a while.

However, before this idea dissipated, they ushered in a sudden assassination.

Three masked ninjas came straight to Hoshimi, ignoring the panicked passers-by, and directly killed the killer. No matter how good Itachi was, he was only seven years old. He tried his best to kill the two, but he could only watch helplessly as the fish slipped through the net. Raising Kunai, the sharp blade reflected a cold light in the sun, cut through the air and stabbed directly at Hoshimi's neck.

"See you!"

Itachi's mind went blank, and the enemy's movements became slow in his eyes, and when he came back to his senses, he had already firmly guarded the person who was a head shorter than him.

With the sharp blade pierced in his body, Itachi couldn't help but groaned, and then pressed his lips tightly to prevent the pain from leaking out. The enemy clicked his tongue in boredom, and then twitched the weapon embedded in the flesh. The barbs splattered with blood and flesh.

Snapped.

A drop of flesh and blood fell on Xing Jian's fair face, it was so bright red that it burned people's eyes, as if it was a mark that could never be wiped off since then, he raised his eyes blankly, "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt." Itachi grinned, trying to pull out a comforting smile, but the pain distorted his face. He gritted his teeth, let his left shoulder be bloody, and turned to face the last enemy.

"You actually opened your eyes? Then you won't be allowed to live." The man looked relaxed, as if everything was under control, and he swung his sword a second time while speaking.

Itachi could see the enemy's movements clearly, but the weakness and stiffness caused by the rapid flow of blood made his body slow down by half a beat, and the strong killing intent rushed straight to the front with blood, and the grim face of the god of death was clearly visible.

That's too late.

Itachi didn't dodge or dodge, instead he bullied himself forward, preparing to hold back the enemy with the idea of ​​burning everything together, just to give the people behind him a chance to survive.

He closed his eyes, Sasuke's carefree smiling face flashed in his mind.

In the next second, a huge air wave swept past him, his clothes flew, and the furnishings around the street clanged. Itachi suddenly opened his eyes, and saw that the arrogant enemy just now was thrown into the air Falling down heavily, people don't know.

"Itachi." Xing Jian tugged at his sleeve from behind, "It's all right now, can you still hold on?"

Itachi turned around in a daze, his eyes widened instantly, "Xingjian...what's the matter with you, are you alright?"

I saw that Xingjian's shiny white and tender skin was covered with dense cracks, like porcelain that had failed to bake and began to crack inch by inch, but in a short while, blood gushed out along the wound, scrambling to dye a plain bathrobe into scarlet.

"Don't be afraid... I'll be fine soon..." Xingjian curled up his mouth, as if he wanted to comfort him with a smile, and as soon as he opened his mouth, a piece of meat mixed with blood coughed on Itachi's lapel.

"Xingjian..." Itachi carefully hugged the person in his arms, suppressing his panic and powerlessness in his bewilderment.

Uchiha Itachi finally knew what Hoshimi's strange disease was.

It's not a toxin brought out from the mother's womb, nor is it a disease that doesn't get better at all. It's just that the body will collapse when the mood fluctuates.

The female officer named Chun said that Hoshimi got sick when he was excited when he saw him being injured, but Itachi vaguely felt that this was not the case. The death of the last enemy should be related to Hoshimi.

But since Xingjian didn't say anything, Itachi pretended not to know.

When the youngest son was attacked, daimyo was furious and wanted to punish Itachi for his weak guard, but Hoshimi still clung to the opponent's hand even if he fell into a coma. Daimyo had no choice but to wait for the youngest son to wake up.

Seeing that Xingjian had been in a coma for a full month this time, Itachi stayed with him for a month.

One morning, Itachi opened his eyes and met a pair of clear amber eyes. The other party smiled, and thousands of stars fell into them, "Good morning, Itachi."

Itachi also couldn't help laughing, "Good morning, see you."

Suddenly there was something between the two of them.

Itachi gradually discovered that Hoshimi was not as sensible as he thought before.If you don’t want to drink medicine, you will secretly pour it out, causing the flowers in full bloom in the house to emit a strong bitter taste; you can’t eat too much but secretly hide small snacks in your sleeves, resulting in indigestion at night and you can only hug your stomach. Hmph; when it's too cold, I'll clamor for him to help me cover my hands and feet...

Willful and squeamish, from time to time a little temper comes up and she will act like a baby fiercely, not so perfect, but more lively and cute.

Xing Jian nestled in his arms, and stuffed his cold paws into his stomach to keep warm, "At that time, why did you desperately save me?"

Itachi avoided those clear eyes uncomfortably, "No matter what time it takes, a ninja must put the mission first, and my mission is to protect you."

Xing Jian tilted his head and looked at him, "Then why did you open your eyes?"

"...When life was threatened, it was opened."

"I know." Xing Jian smiled like a fox who stole chicken legs, cute and proud, "To open Sharingan, you must have a strong protective mood. Itachi wants to protect me."

Guardian?

Seems not bad.

The arm holding the man tightened.

At this time, the young Uchiha Itachi didn't know that another meaning of the so-called protection is the helplessness of watching precious things disappear before his eyes.

Xingjian has been sick all year round, and often suffers from severe cold in the middle of the night. He used to endure it silently, but after waking up in Itachi's arms, he clamored for Itachi to be his stove, as if he had discovered a new world.

The consequence of this is: Itachi returned to Konoha on vacation, when Sasuke hugged the pillow and wanted to sleep together, he hugged the person, took off his shoes, and stuffed them into the quilt in one go, not to mention the smoothness of his movements.

Sasuke felt that something was wrong, although he couldn't tell exactly what was wrong, but it didn't prevent him from blowing his fur like a small animal whose territory had been violated, with a face of "do you have another cat outside", with a very resentful expression.

Itachi: "...Well, Sasuke has grown taller, and he feels a lot heavier than last time when he hugs him."

Sasuke immediately forgot his petty emotions, and happily asked for praise, "I have always listened to my brother's advice and worked hard to eat. Am I better than that Liu Yuanxing?"

Ever since Itachi said that Hoshimi is very sensible and never picky eaters, Sasuke got into a fight with this little aristocrat whom he had never met, and vowed to become the most obedient baby in the eyes of his brother.

Itachi smiled, "Hoshimi is my brother's friend, and Sasuke is my brother's younger brother. If I have the opportunity to introduce you to each other, you will like him. He also asked me to bring you a gift, do you want to see it?" "

Sasuke stared at the gift box that his brother took out from the corner of his eye, with a proud face, "Hmph, just return my brother to me!"

No matter how much Sasuke wanted his brother to stay in Konoha, Itachi still stayed with Hoshimi most of the time, and this stay lasted for four years.

Seeing Hoshimi's pale and fragile appearance wrapped in thick clothes, panting after a few steps, Itachi couldn't help but think of Sasuke's healthy and rosy face, and he suddenly had an impulse - to make Hoshimi like his younger brother Run freely in the sun.

Since it can't be done in reality, it can be realized in the illusion. It happens that creating illusion is Uchiha's strong point.

Xingjian's eyes lit up when he heard this idea, and he immediately pulled his sleeves to try it out. As a result, instead of pulling people into the illusion, Itachi himself was stunned.

"How do you feel?" After Itachi woke up, Hoshimi who was lying on the bedside immediately noticed it, and he apologized, "Sorry Itachi, my soul is too strong, and ordinary illusions will automatically rebound. I didn't consider this, let you Suffered."

Is the soul too powerful?

Itachi pursed his lips tightly, "It's not your fault, after all, I'm too weak. I will strengthen my training from tomorrow. I promise you, one day I will give you a perfect illusion."

"That's it..." Xing Jian narrowed his eyes with a smile, stretched out his little finger to hook him, "Then let's pull the hook!"

Itachi cooperated with his childish but full of ritual sense of hypocrisy.

The next day, Hoshimi brought a training menu that was said to be used by a particularly powerful strongman. Itachi did not refuse. After training carefully for a period of time, he found that this menu was specially formulated for the Uchiha clan, which can fully Tap Uchiha's physical potential.

This kind of thing should be a family secret, why does Xingjian exist?

Itachi knew that Xing Jian had many secrets, and Xing Jian had never concealed it from him, but the two tacitly didn't mention it, one didn't tell, and the other didn't ask.

Through the hard work of the two of them (Xingjian felt that he had done a lot of credit without shame), this illusion finally gradually took shape, and Xingjian named it "Taoyuan".

Taoyuan, he said, means a quiet place without disputes.

When Itachi was 11 years old, Hoshimi was nine years old. This year, Kato Haru, the female officer who took care of Hoshimi since childhood, reached the age when she could go home and marry.

Xingjian was busy making arrangements for the presents for Chun to bring back, and then happily sent him out of the Daming Mansion, and when Chun had completely disappeared, he pouted and hid in the bamboo horse's arms to feel sad.

Itachi hugged his petite body, but finally swallowed the news that he received an order to return to Konoha soon.

After Chun left, Xingjian seemed to return to normal soon, but after several years of getting along, itachi couldn't see that he was unhappy. In order to make Xingjian happy, Itachi went to the street to find some delicious food to take back, but unexpectedly met It's the embarrassing spring.

She was being violently beaten by a man, and her face, which was always neatly made up, was covered with bruises and bleeding wounds, which showed that she had suffered a lot before that.

Itachi kicked the man against the wall, helped Haru Kato up, "Are you alright?"

The man struggled to get up and scolded: "Who dares to disturb me to beat my own wife, is it you, a jerk?" As he spoke, his eyes were red and he came over waving a whip.

Itachi ignored him and only looked at Xiang Chun, "Do you want revenge?"

Kato Haru, who usually speaks softly, gritted his teeth, his eyes seemed to be poisoned, "Don't beat him to death, he is Zong Wang's subordinate."

"Oh, it's good to know, why don't you come back with me and wash my feet to make amends!" The man was triumphant, and swung the whip high.

The next moment, a shrill scream resounded through the world.

Itachi stomped on his limbs abruptly.

……

Kato Haru's experience is the epitome of many commoner maids.

When she was on duty with Xingjian, she would send her monthly wages home. When she was old, she thought that the family would finally be reunited, but unexpectedly, her parents sold her to a man named Miyoshi Hirano A samurai makes a wife.

Chun is not a weak woman who doesn't know how to resist. She once ran to the police department for help when others were not paying attention, but was sent back to Mikichi Hirano after changing hands. Only then did she know that the man was Liu Yuan Zongwang's subordinate. It's still kind of trustworthy.

Afterwards, Miyoshi Hirano locked her up and beat her three meals a day. If she hadn't run out and met Itachi this time, she might have died if she was caught back.

Xingjian was silent for a while after hearing this, and his face was ugly, "I'm sorry, this matter should be related to me. I really didn't expect Liu Yuanzong to be so small-minded. Chun, what are you going to do in the future?"

Kato Haru bit his lip and said nothing.

"Want to come back to my side?" Xing Jian asked softly, "I always feel uncomfortable when you're not here."

"My lord!" The strong female official who was kidnapped by her relatives and abused by men did not even cry, finally shed two lines of tears, "How can an unclean person like me have the right to stand by your side..."

Xingjian hugged the female officer, trying to bring some warmth to her with her young body, "I say yes, as long as you don't want to, no one can take you away."

Itachi broke Hirano Sanyoshi's limbs, and the ninja under Yanagihara Zongwang made trouble the next day.

At that time Hoshimi was planning to draw a picture for Itachi, facing the provocation of the long-established ninja, he refused for Itachi without hesitation.

Zongwang Liuyuan, who followed behind to watch the fun, couldn't help but sneer, "Father always said that you have great power, and your so-called power is used on inferior people. You don't even accept challenges, but you are just a coward. What can you do?" So many compliments!"

Xingjian glanced at him, and snapped the brush back into the pen holder, "You can find someone to come out to you if you don't have the skills, is that your ability? You only play tricks that don't stand out, and you are not afraid of being laughed at when you speak out!"

"You..." Zongwang Liuyuan didn't expect this younger brother to be so rude this time, his face flushed purple but he couldn't say anything to refute for a long time.

Hoshimi ignored him, and said directly to the ninja standing at the front: "Why don't you come to my side, my elder brother treats you as an inferior person, but I welcome a capable person like you very much here. After staying in the government for such a long time, it is clear after thinking about it that I have always protected my shortcomings, as long as it is my person, I will definitely protect it to the end."

He glanced at the liver-colored person, and said slowly: "I won't treat you as a consumable."

Before the ninja opened his mouth, Liuyuan Zongwang couldn't bear it anymore, pointed at his subordinate's nose and cursed: "If you dare to promise him to make me lose face today, I will make you never leave this famous mansion again!"

Xing Jian sneered, "If he is loyal to you, what are you afraid of? You don't even have the confidence to win people's hearts, and you don't know what the Kingdom of Fire will become in the future."

"See you Liu Yuanxing, don't go too far!"

"Who is going too far!" Xing Jian was furious when he thought about Chun, "Liu Yuan Zongwang, don't think that I'm really afraid of you by avoiding you! Since you want to compete, fine, I agree. , How about political affairs? Come up with a political matter, whoever makes a good decision-making will win, and the loser must take the initiative to avoid any occasion where the winner appears."

This is an extremely serious humiliation. After all, both of them are sons of daimyo, and there are many occasions in the same frame. As long as they lose, every avoidance in the future will remind everyone of this person's identity as a loser.

Zongwang Liuyuan would have hesitated if it was someone else, but he was not afraid of political affairs at all.He has already handled government affairs with his father, but the other party has never been in contact with these.

Thinking of this, Zongwang Liuyuan nodded in agreement.

The dispute between the two was quickly learned by the officials who came to the Daming Mansion to discuss matters, and there was no need to find a referee, they automatically acted as judges.

The topic is the purpose of the officials who came to find the daimyo this time: a small nobleman bullied men and women in the territory, which aroused public anger, and the common people collectively saved money to find ninjas to assassinate the nobleman. There was a resistance, and now things are getting bigger, how should the daimyo deal with it?

To be fair, both put their answers down on paper.

The first one reads, announce the crimes of the nobles, and deal with them fairly; the second one says, dispatch Konoha ninjas to suppress the resistance.

Moments later, the jury gave the winning answer, the owner of the first sheet.

Zongwang Liuyuan stood up suddenly, and stared at the person who announced the answer, "Impossible! The untouchables dare to provoke the nobles, so they should be suppressed. If they are not given enough deterrence, what is the dignity of the nobles? Why is Liuyuan the winner?" See you!"

The faces of the officials were also not good. They all agreed that the mature one should be the opinion of Liuyuan Zongwang who had already started to deal with political affairs, but who knew that they made a mistake.

Xing Jianban sarcastically said: "Have you seen the current situation clearly? The above said that the people have already rioted. At this time, the fair handling can firstly calm the hearts of the people; This kind of scourge is separated from the noble group, which is the real way to protect the face of the nobles; third, you can take advantage of this to beat the local forces and warn them not to go too far."

"Well, brother, you lost."

The young boy has just grown up today, standing in front of his tall brother, his body is fragile and his face is pale, showing a fragile feeling like glass, but his whole body is shining brightly, sharp and eye-catching, he dares to compete with the future master of this country for a subordinate Compete.

She is gentle and kind on weekdays, with arrogance inside, but when she erupts, she can burn the whole world.

Liuyuan Xingjian, this name that appeared in front of everyone due to the prophecy and gradually fell silent these years, once again attracted the attention of the high-level officials of the Fire Nation in an extremely eye-catching way.

At the same time, the daimyo will be suppressed like never before.

After returning, Itachi asked, "Did you really think that way?"

The two of them connected with each other, and Xing Jian understood the endless sentence, "No, I just want to get the punishment that is due to that kind of disaster."

He laughed at himself: "But you know, if my reasons are not enough to convince the officials, they will take Zongwang's method on the spot."

Itachi was silent for a while, "Do you regret what you did today?" Do you regret exposing yourself to the public again, and there will be no quiet days from now on?

"What are you regretting? I have long disliked Zongwang, and if I don't teach him a lesson, he will only go too far." Xingjian wrinkled his nose childishly, "Hmph, look how dare he trouble me again in the future!"

After all, you are still venting your anger for the spring.

Relying on his height, Itachi rubbed the bamboo horse's hair and was beaten.

Shortly after that, Itachi prepares to return to Konoha Hidden Village.

Although Xingjian was not happy, he also knew that Itachi could not be his guard for the rest of his life, so he could only agree that the two of them would meet frequently, and then watched Itachi's back disappear into the mountains.

After returning to Konoha, Itachi was selected by Naruto as a member of the Anbe, dealing with Konoha's dark affairs.

Blood, killing, and death became the main theme of his life.

Itachi often thinks that he should be born a ninja, that's why he still adapts to the darkness so quickly after he picks up the butcher's knife after a long period of peace.

The contradiction between the Uchiha clan and the village is getting deeper and deeper. Itachi is gradually exhausted between the two. This exhaustion goes deep into the bone marrow, making people more and more desperate. They can only stay with their cousin Shisui, or When he was exercising the illusion while looking at the moon and thinking about the stars, he would have a moment of peace.

But this beauty was also broken.

Zhishui is dead.

died right in front of him.

Itachi watched Shisui entrust his eyes and faith to him, and then chose to commit suicide in endless despair.

Itachi wanted to reach out and save him, but Itachi knew he couldn't save anyone.

He can't save Shisui, Uchiha who is gradually sliding into the abyss, and Konoha's high-level ambition.

Itachi didn't know how he stood in front of Xing Mi.

When he became conscious, Xing Jian had already hugged him in his arms, and the faint scent of medicine surrounded him. The pain and despair suppressed in his heart seemed to have finally found a breakthrough at this moment. In the only warmth that could be grasped, tears suddenly fell like rain.

He said: "Xingjian, you are wrong, Sharingan is not a guardian."

Xingjian leaned down, hugged the young man whose soul was weeping tightly, and said softly, "Sharingan is a guardian, but this world doesn't give it a chance."

They hugged like this all night, when the first ray of sunlight shone into the room in the morning, Itachi got up and was about to return to his own battlefield, but was caught by Hoshimi.

"Stay with me one more day?"

The young man was against the light, his face was blurred, his body was shrouded in light, as if he would ride the wind and go away at any moment.

"……it is good."

Itachi knew that it wasn't Hoshimi who needed him, it was he who needed Hoshimi.

The days that followed remained the same, and everything seemed to have changed.The tribe regards him as a traitor, and Konoha regards him as a spy. He is full of temptations and ridicule everywhere. Itachi's life is extremely difficult, but his face becomes more and more calm.

He continued to do missions with Kakashi.Once, when they found the target of the mission, the man was doing primitive exercises. Itachi simply killed the man, and the blood splashed on the face of the man below him. With a scream, Itachi realized that the recipient was actually a man.

For the first time, he was stunned at the mission site. If Kakashi hadn't pulled him away, he would have been intercepted by the people who came after him.

"Senior Kakashi." Itachi's eyes were blank, obviously still not recovered, "Among men...is that what they do?"

Kakashi taught his younger generation with the appearance of someone who has experienced it, "You just have too little knowledge. I recommend you to read the fifth volume of "Kissing Heaven" by Master Jiraiya."

Itachi nodded in a daze, returned to Konoha to hand in the task in a daze, and said goodbye to Kakashi in a daze.

Then that night, Itachi, who finally slept in the hot quilt, had a dream.

Porcelain white and tender skin is covered with ambiguous pinch marks, and the long sweaty hair sticks to the naked body. Under the contrast of black and white, I just want to make people pinch the slender waist and rub the softness to create a more beautiful appearance. Most of them belong to their own imprints, in the white mist, whispers are faintly visible, enough to be tempting and familiar enough...

"See you!"

Itachi sat up suddenly, only to realize that he was completely soaked, and something was even more indescribable.

Sasuke's call came from outside the door, but Itachi didn't answer, covering his face and hugging the quilt at a loss.

In order to force himself to forget about this matter, Itachi hasn't been to Hoshimi for a long time. In fact, the confrontation between Uchiha and Konoha has become more and more serious, and he has no time to think about other things at all.

He didn't want to face Xing Jian, but someone was unwilling to let him go.

Liu Yuan Hoshimi is the second son of the fire country daimyo, and he has outstanding ability and good conduct, and has a high prestige in the whole country. The elder found Itachi and wanted to let this Hoshimi-sama support the Uchiha family through him.

Itachi didn't want to go, but he couldn't withstand the persecution of all the clansmen. Finally, after half a year, he saw the person who made him toss and turn again.

At that time, Xingjian was gnawing on watermelon, his bloodless lips were stained with bright red juice, exuding a lustrous luster in the sun, and pouted from time to time as the owner complained, tempting people to pick it all the time.

Itachi propped his head up to silently describe the young man's delicate facial features, but unconsciously his eyes focused on the rosy softness.

The words in the fifth volume of "Intimate Paradise" that I peeked under the covers came to my mind, Itachi's cheeks were red, as if he had applied the most beautiful rouge, and only his bewitching lips remained in his eyes.

"Itachi, what are you doing!"

Xingjian suddenly put his hand against his face, and Itachi woke up like a dream, only to realize that they were so close at this moment, so close that he could count Xingjian's trembling eyelashes, and close enough to see clearly. See the surprise and ignorance in Xingjian's eyes.

"Are you going to kiss me?"

Xing Jian's sudden question made the more calm and introverted boy get stuck on the spot, his handsome face erupted like a volcano in just a moment.

But the culprit continued to say unconsciously, "No."

It was like a basin of cold water falling from the sky, instantly extinguishing all the dryness and heat in Itachi.

He asked in a hoarse voice: "...Why?" They were already so intimate.

"Only lovers can kiss." Wang Taohua's eyes were clear and ignorant. Discussing this kind of intimate issues is like a doctor who studies the anatomy of the human body. He is professional and serious, without any intimacy or ambiguity.

Itachi suddenly realized that this person didn't understand anything at all.

It turned out that the long-term entanglement was caused by him alone, and Itachi felt an indescribable sense of frustration.

Until he left, Itachi didn't tell the other party his real reason for coming this time. He knew that Hoshimi was also in a difficult situation in the Daming Prefecture now, and there was really no need to let those things about Uchiha become a burden for this person.

Itachi chose to bear it alone.

Maybe it had a premonition, before leaving, Itachi stared deeply at the person who had occupied most of his life, and seriously told him: "You have to be good."

Xing Jian tilted his head to look at him suspiciously, "Why is it so heavy all of a sudden?"
