[Naruto] Angelica

Chapter 53 53

The weather in August is still hot and dry in the evening.The Nanhe River flows under the cliff, the river hits the rocks and splashes, and the summer cicada hides in the branches and leaves, grabbing the end of life before the autumn cold snap, screaming sharply.

"You came a little slowly, Itachi, I almost thought you were as lost as Obito-senpai."

Standing on the edge of the cliff, Zhishui turned around slowly, with a usual smile in his words.

Ignoring Shisui's ridicule, Itachi stared at Shisui's closed right eye and the bloodstains on his face with a sullen face.He didn't understand who had the ability to hurt Zhishui to such an extent.

"What's wrong with your eyes?"

Zhishui's expression gradually sank.

In Itachi's memory, no matter what happened to the other party, he always had a gentle appearance. Even on the battlefield a few years ago, he had never seen Shishui show such an expression.

"When I was preparing for tonight's action in the afternoon, Danzo summoned me. Unfortunately, he didn't trust me and insisted on using his own methods to protect Konoha... Go to one eye."

"The Uchiha clan will announce the resolution of treason tonight, and Konoha will fall into civil war... The alliance treaty is the most unreliable, and other countries are bound to take advantage of the fire to loot and reignite the war."

Speaking of this, Shishui didn't have too many sorrows and joys, he calmly looked at Itachi standing in front of him, trying hard to remember the appearance of the other party in his mind.Zhishui knew clearly that this would be the last time he saw him.

"The peace that countless people have paid such a painful price for, I don't want our family to end it...Itachi, I entrust this eye to you, and the only one I can trust now is you."

"Don't show such an expression... Guess what? My death will make the family realize how big a mistake this decision is... Will it change their minds, even just a little..."

The crow fell down the cliff, and the torrential water of Nanhechuan quickly swallowed him up.

The river quickly returned to calm, but Xia Chan was still neighing hoarsely.

Everything was normal, like he had never been here before.

Itachi was still standing where he was, with his head down, as the cliff wind howled past.The Uchiha clan emblem is printed on the back of the jacket, and Anbe's sword is pressed on it.

The sun sank to the skyline and night fell.

There is no light.

After Kakashi came home, he found that the refrigerator was empty, so he went downstairs from the living room window and went to the market to stock up on some food.

The meatball shop is at the entrance of the shopping street, the first shop, and he will definitely pass by there when he goes to the market.

Just as he went down the stairs, the noise from the shop came to Kakashi's ears. One of the voices was particularly loud, so loud that Kakashi hadn't reached the place when the scene he saw in the ninja school just now appeared in front of his eyes. A cheerful face.

"I said, I said, I really grew up with toads! Really!"

Naruto waved his chubby little hands, eager to convince his companions that he wasn't lying. "There are a lot of talking toads in that place, the super big ones! Then a man with long hair suddenly appeared and took me to Konoha, and I realized that there are not only toads in this world!"

His exaggerated tone and expression made his companions burst into laughter.Some also questioned: "Naruto, didn't you really see it in the storybook?"

"No! The day the man who brought me out of Ha/Toad Mountain led me to the orphanage, many people saw it... Ah, by the way, the second-year senior Tian Tian knew it too! She and I are the same She's from an orphanage, if you don't believe me, you can ask her!"

"Wow……"

At this moment, everyone seemed to believe it, and began to ask some strange questions.

"Then are you a toad spirit? So you don't have a cat's beard but a toad beard?"

"Does the toad have a beard? Doesn't it seem like it doesn't?"

"Are your parents a toad?"

"□□Do the toads in the mountains look like people or toads..."

The more weird questions were asked, Kakashi walked past the store door without changing his expression, secretly amused in his heart, wondering if Minato-sensei would have thought that Naruto's friends would Thought his parents were the best monsters.

Kakashi was thinking about these things absent-mindedly, when Akai's loud voice suddenly shouted from behind, he was so shocked that he paused for a few seconds before turning sideways helplessly.

"Akai..."

"Good evening, Kakashi!"

What responded to him was Akai's bright smile, and a row of white teeth were so white that they reflected under the lamp.The contemporaries sitting next to them also exchanged a few words of greeting.

The person sitting at the table opposite Akai seemed to have just noticed the movement, raised his head, and casually raised his palms to say hello.

"Hi."

Obito's listless appearance reminded Kakashi that he was a little strange when he met him at the door of the third generation's office in the afternoon.

Kakashi frowned, turned around and walked into the store, and sat down in the empty seat next to Akai.

Akai gasped and almost jumped up. "You've changed, Kakashi, you've never eaten sweets with us before."

"I don't plan to eat sweets now either." He looked at Obito opposite him, "Do you have time? Let's talk."

"What are you talking about? I have something to do later..." Obito glanced at the clock hanging in the store, patted the table and stood up as if waking up from a dream, "Wow! Why is this ordered, it's over, it's over, the patriarch will Damn me... Kakashi can talk about it tomorrow!"

Before the words fell, the person had already run away in an instant.

Kakashi: "..."

Akai touched his chin: "Obito is really weird today." He poked Kakashi with his elbow, "Do you know what's going on?"

"do not know."

Kakashi was a little irritable and combed the broken hair on his forehead back with his fingers, stood up and said goodbye to everyone, and continued to walk into the market.

Obito is very wrong.

There is something really wrong with Obito Uchiha.

At dawn, Kakashi lifted the quilt and sat up, Yayoi asked him half asleep, "Is there a mission so early?"

"No. Can't sleep to practice. Together?"

Yayoi: "..." She turned over and made a decision without any hesitation, "I want to catch up on sleep. Goodbye."

Kakashi laughed, didn't bother her anymore, walked out with his slippers on, and gently closed the bedroom door.

The Konoha at six o'clock is still immersed in tranquility.

Kakashi jogged along the deserted streets to warm up, and ran out of the main street to the training ground where Obito often went, but he didn't find any smell of Obito along the way.

Kakashi knew that after Obito entered the administrative building to work after the war, even if he didn't have to go out for missions, he never slack off training.

However, the air in the training ground at this moment does not have a trace of the burnt smell left by the burning fire, and the nicks on the stakes are not new. The ground is flat and clean, and there is no trace of anyone coming.

Woke up late?

Or is something delayed?

Kakashi had countless questions in his heart, but he couldn't answer any of them.

In the past few months, he has so many tasks that the sky is dark and the sky is dark. The last time he met Obito was when he was eating Yile ramen, and he was also busy with his departure that day, so he didn't listen to Obito carefully.

"Tsk..."

Kakashi scratched his silver hair into a mess, turned out of the training ground and continued his morning run.

08:30, Konoha administrative staff uniform working hours.Kakashi glanced at the clock, quickly finalized the shift discussion meeting with Class [-] and Class [-] on the task of "surveilling Uchiha", picked up his cloak, put it on and went out, and went straight to the administrative building.

Knocking on the door of Obito's office, there is a strange ninja sitting inside.

Kakashi took a step back and looked up at the sign hanging by the door to make sure he had gone the right way.

The other party replied: "Did you ask Obito? He applied for resignation last week, and he handed over the work yesterday, so he won't be here today."

"...Resignation?" Kakashi raised his eyebrows, a little in disbelief.

"Yeah." The other party recalled something, and said "ah" suddenly, "He seems to say that he wants to return to the combat organization or something... Maybe it's been too long since he has been on a mission, so he can't sit still."

Kakashi didn't know anything about this.

His mood is a little delicate.

"Thank you, sorry for the intrusion."

Kakashi closed the office door, looked in through the glass on the door, and seemed to be able to see Obito sitting inside with a distressed face processing documents.

Before turning around to leave, Kakashi suddenly saw the small balcony in the corridor.He walked over, pushed open the glass door, and leaned over the iron railing.Looking out from here, you can see the Konoha Ninja School from a distance, and it is also here. Obito pointed in the direction of the school, and told him how wonderful the ninja school life was that he didn't enjoy for too long.

"The life of a ninja...isn't all bad."

At that time, Obito's voice seemed to linger in his ears, and Kakashi couldn't figure out why he would take the initiative to apply for resignation.

A person who has been clamoring to become Hokage for more than ten years suddenly gave up on the way to his goal bit by bit.

Kakashi thought he had to find some time to talk to Obito and ask what was going on.

"team leader!"

Tianzang ran up from downstairs. He ran very fast and almost got breathless. He bent over and gasped and said, "Captain, what are you doing here? If the captain of the third class said that he seemed to see you going in this direction... let's go!" , everyone is waiting for you, otherwise you won’t be able to come back the next day and change the guard with the third shift.”

Kakashi closed his eyes.For the first time, he had the idea of ​​giving up the mission.

"Is everything assembled?"

"Yes."

When he opened his eyes again, Kakashi's black eyes couldn't see any previous disturbed emotions.He confirmed the Flying Thunder God spell that was buried at the entrance of the village before, and reached out to grab Tenzo's shoulder.

"Let's go."

Before the words fell, the two of them had disappeared in place.

Away from the administrative building, it is located in the Uchiha field on the edge of Konoha.Obito Uchiha, whom Kakashi wanted to find, was reaching out to grab Itachi's shoulder, preventing his next move.

In front of the two of them were three Uchiha clansmen twisted and curled up on the ground. Uchiha Fugaku, who came over after hearing the sound, stood aside sullenly, and asked him sharply what he was doing.

Itachi was still holding the "Shisui's suicide note" they had just given him.

"'I'm tired of tasks like this...don't go any further'."

He slowly recited the contents of the suicide note. His black hair hung on his sides, covering all his expressions, but he couldn't hide the coldness in his tone.

"It is precisely because you don't know the size of Zhishui, and you don't know the size of me, that's why you fell here..." He raised his head, and his scarlet eyes were exposed in the scattered hair on his forehead, "And my You have already despaired of this useless family, it is your ignorance that Uchiha will ignore the really important things, and will come to this point—”

"Enough Itachi!"

Obito sternly said, and stopped in front of him in an instant, but still took a step too late, the Kunai in Itachi's hand had already been thrown, and it was deeply embedded in the wall.

Obito turned around and looked at the cracked family crest on the fence, at the same moment, it seemed that something shattered together in his heart.

"Enough..." His black eyes gradually turned red, sadness, depression, pain, pleading, despair... Obito looked at him and whispered, "Come here, Itachi... don't continue... ..."

Itachi's hand hanging by his side was clenched suddenly, and a powerful murderous aura rose suddenly. Just when everyone started to prepare for the battle, Itachi knelt down.The suffocating air pressure around him dissipated as he fell to the ground.

He seems to have returned to the former Uchiha Itachi who was somewhat aloof but always polite and gentle.

"I didn't kill Zhishui. I'm sorry, I made a mistake just now..."
