Itachi-san is also shorter than me today

what is love?

At that time, May was only about four or five years old, and her mother was not too sick. She also asked her mother to read story books. The words chosen by her mother were complex, and it took a long time to finish reading "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter".

Little May was dizzy from the many and long rhetoric and honorifics, but even if she had heard the story told by her nanny, she was willing to listen to her mother read it again.

At the end, her mother asked her: "Do you think those suitors really love Taketori Hime?"

"That's right, although there are deceptions and concealments, those people still paid a lot just to marry Taketorihime."

"Does Taketori Hime love one of them?"

"No, if it's love, why would Taketori Hime come up with so many ways to embarrass them?"

In fact, Wuyue couldn't remember the specific content of the conversation, but she always remembered her mother's smile after hearing this answer, the corners of her mouth were raised, and her eyes were full of emotions she didn't understand, but it wasn't sarcasm or a sneer.

"Taketori Hime, she is a goddess who wants to go back to heaven."

After many years, May finally understood that the look in her mother's eyes was pity.

You know what it means to love, and you've experienced the sweetness of it yourself, but that doesn't matter.

At least compared to the future of the whole family and the plans of several generations, it is insignificant.

Wuyue squeezed the thin paper in her hand to sell it, which was just delivered by the money exchange office of the Kingdom of Fire, and it was extremely urgent.

Money exchange, as the name suggests, is a place where rewards are exchanged for the heads of traitors, and money can also be used to buy news.How important the intelligence network is, the Kasuga clan leader took a fancy to this line decades ago, and gradually changed the doors of the money exchanges in various places secretly.

But the money exchange is under the jurisdiction of the Kasuga Clan, after all, it is only done in secret, and there is no fanfare. Every year, the patriarch's confidants will go to inspect it. This year, it is the turn of Iris.

Uchiha Itachi happened to be at the money exchange office in the Fire Country, met Iris and took her away, so a piece of news was sent to Wuyue's desk.

Wuyue changed her clothes and got up while thinking, why did Itachi do this?Every time they meet there is no outsider, Itachi cannot know the relationship between Calamus and her, not to mention they haven't seen each other for a long time...

A few years ago, Iris and Aikawa were stationed in Tango Country. It is said that they once captured Kisame with dried persimmons, but they were later rescued by unknown people. Is this the case?

Thinking of what Acorus knew, Uchiha's invincible illusion, Wu Yue's heart tightened.

"Take Qing Guang with you too." Before she left the door, she finally ordered like this, her heart was bitter and unspeakable, and she couldn't speak.

It turns out that I still want to break with you in the end, and it's like this - by any means.

She used the flying thunder god to rush to the money exchange office, and her subordinates took Qingguang to her body. Qingguang was her son who had just turned one year old and the child of Itachi, but Itachi didn't know it.

A year and a half ago, Itachi suddenly stopped contacting her. If it was placed between ordinary lovers, it was nothing more than a change of heart and wanting to end the relationship, but he was unwilling to end the relationship directly, and used delay to kill the love of the other party.

But Wuyue knew that Itachi was not that kind of person, and then she discovered Ayame's concealment.Your lover is seriously ill and his time is running out, and his position is unfortunately contrary to your plan. It seems that the best ending is to let him die in a place you can't see, so as to save you from making enemies in the future.

The subordinates all suggested this, and Wuyue has been hesitant until now. Knowing that the calamus has fallen into Itachi's hands means that Itachi has probably already asked those plans from the mouth of the calamus, and Itachi's position has always been to stand on the side of Konoha. On the side.

May followed their tracks and came to a cave, taking a deep breath before going in - if it was really the worst, she would have to stop Itachi anyway - no matter what.

If it's really the worst case, and she makes a sudden attack, she may not be able to keep Itachi here forever, no, thinking of this may make her almost breathless, not to mention that Itachi is gone, Akatsuki and Konoha will definitely know, it's easy to follow the vine After tracking down the money exchange office and Changpu, and then discovering that the Kasuga family, they made a fuss and startled the snake, which brought a lot of instability to the plan, and it was not a last resort...

"Itachi, are you in there?" She lit a torch, straightened her back and walked forward, the stuffy air in the cave reminded her of their reunion, then shook her head, now is not the time to think about it.

"May?" There was an obviously surprised voice inside, and Wuyue quickened her pace in the direction of the source of the sound, the innermost part of the cave.The first thing she saw was Calamus lying on the ground, her face was pale, her eyes were closed tightly, there was no obvious trauma, she either fainted or...

Her heart skipped a beat, she raised her head and questioned Uchiha Itachi, her voice was trembling that she didn't expect: "What did you do to her?"

Itachi Uchiha is no different from a year ago, but his face is paler, and he frowned when he heard this: "Is she your subordinate? She hides many things from you, May, this is not a reliable person."

"I asked what you did to her!" Mayu threw the torch in her hand, and was almost terrified when she got close to Calamus's thin body, and this fear became reality when she touched her heartless chest.

"It's just a little illusion," Uchiha Itachi's indifferent and steady voice sounded so hateful at this moment, "I found out that she was a person who used a kind of ninja technique that could suppress Chakra in the Tang Dynasty a few years ago, so I captured her. She wanted to find out. I didn't expect that she was your subordinate, and I only came up with the words 'the plan can't be broken' through interrogation with illusion, and she probably already has another loyal partner, May."

Uchiha Itachi didn't know the specific content of the plan, he even mistakenly thought that Ayame had betrayed him a long time ago and served others secretly, and he didn't connect the function of Hachishaku Sakatama with me at all... Wuyue was very surprised, and his heart ached In such a twisted moment, he could still clearly understand every word Uchiha Itachi said, and his brain reacted quickly.Then it's better to use the tricks and play a scene of being betrayed by a confidant, and deceive him, but the confidant lying on the ground is Calamus!

When we met for the first time, she was not as tall as my shoulders, and looked up at her with shining eyes: "Are you the new patriarch? Can I follow you?" At that time, I had just disbanded Class No. The name is to perform assignments abroad, but in fact, he deals with the intricate affairs of the Kasuga clan every day, doesn't care about the little girl, and calls a few words when he has time, basically in a free-range state.

Later, I left Konoha, and Iris was also sent to take charge of political affairs in the country of Tang, "Let's practice with the small country first!" I still remember her confident look when she left-it did not disappoint.

After returning to my side, I not only have to worry about things outside, but also nagging reminders, "The patriarch's health is the most important thing! Health! You can't eat three ice cream balls in one go!" "You're going to see that again, pay attention Temperance, you can't be indulged at a young age... Hey, don't hit me, I won't say it, you just know it."

She has stayed by her side seriously for so many years, believing that one day the world will become a better place after the plan is implemented, so in the end, under Uchiha's illusion, in order not to reveal the secret, she chose to kill herself, but she had to Put the blame on her!

It's just a few breaths to pass through these dense thoughts in her mind. Wu Yue herself doesn't know how she did it. Thinking about it afterwards, it's like a dream.

She stood up abruptly, like all betrayed masters, raised her eyebrows and looked directly at Itachi Uchiha: "You said that Iris betrayed me? But how do I know if you killed her for the Akatsuki organization, and instead said she was unfaithful? How can I trust you who never come back."

Uchiha Itachi was obviously choked: "I, I had other important things to do at the time." Seeing Wuyue's silence, he immediately changed the topic: "But Wuyue, do you think that this woman's identity should only belong to you?" Your Majesty, I usually only hang out among the nobles. But if she hadn't had other plans, even if I was working for Akatsuki, I wouldn't know about her, and I would have trouble with her."

May was silent, with a pensive look.

Itachi took the opportunity to look at his lover whom he hadn't seen for a year and a half. His expression was a little tired, his figure seemed to be thinner, and he looked like he had suffered a serious illness. Still can't help but say: "You..."

But was interrupted by Wuyue's action: "Fire escape—the technique of the fire phoenix fairy!" She was heading towards the corpse on the ground. Seeing that the fire engulfed Calamus's body, she turned around resolutely and walked out, leaving the scorched area. Air.

Itachi followed her closely, walked out of the cave, and Wuyue leaned wearily against the mountain wall: "Uchiha Itachi, what do you want? Since you have already abandoned me, then it's fine and you don't have any contact with each other until you die." .Why do you want to provoke me again?"

Hearing her impatient, helpless and desolate tone, Itachi was startled, and recovered his paralyzed face: "This time it was an accident, I didn't know she was your subordinate."

Wu Yue shook his head: "Whatever you say, the person I'm waiting for is here." When Itachi looked up, he saw a group of people walking not far away, and the leader approached and knelt in front of Wu Yue, holding the a toddler.

"The Kasuga family married the Tiangong family a year ago, you probably didn't know it. This is my son, named after his father's saber, Qingguang, uncle." Wuyue Ban squatted down and picked up the child, Qingguang said Squeaking, he turned his head to get closer to Itachi Uchiha, but was hugged tenderly by May.

Itachi Uchiha still had that expressionless dead face, silently estimating in his heart that this child looked only half a year old, how could a noble child be malnourished, premature birth is even more nonsense, then, it is really May and Others were born.

He couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, as if a part of his heart was frozen, but it was numb, but it didn't hurt too much: "I came out in a hurry today, and I didn't bring a meeting gift. I will make it up next time."

"No, there's no next time." Wu Yue nodded slightly to him, then turned around.Only then did Itachi notice that the kimono she was wearing could only be worn by married women. He didn't want to stand still and watch, so he left in an instant and pressed a certain part of the skirt lightly, as if to confirm that the thing was still there. not there.

You got married and had kids, which is great, better than I thought.

Then, let me be selfish again, keep what you gave me before, and really don't want to give it to your son, your current...husband.

They already have everything.

Sorry, May, I'm still being selfish.

May Yi noticed Itachi's chakra was far away, and he almost couldn't stand still.She pretended to be persuaded by Itachi and admitted that Calamus was a traitor, what next?Itachi would ask her for the calamus' body, and Konoha must have a way to dig out information from the brains of dead people. In order to preserve the last dignity of calamus and plan, she had to burn her with fire.

An indescribable pain spread all over her body, she gritted her teeth but still couldn't help trembling.

Well, it's all right now, with Uchiha Itachi's self-righteous temperament, in order to avoid her, she will definitely not pay attention to the Kasuga family, and the plan is not in danger of being leaked.

It's just that she couldn't help asking herself, if she had come earlier and Calamus hadn't committed suicide, then in order to keep the secret, would she have killed her with her own hands.

I will.

People like me, ah...

☆, tiny

"タスク", Wuyue chewed this word carefully... Ninjas are born for missions, and if one day they die for missions, there is nothing to say.

Konoha has been building the village for decades. In the chaotic times before the village was built, the ninja families were hostile to each other, and they also had to perform tasks assigned by the nobles. They fought with irrelevant people for money and supplies. For generations, there is no end to fate.

After the village was built, it seemed beyond reproach to fight for the country, but batch after batch of ninjas were consumed as tools, leaving only the forehead as the final proof. trampled; and nobles?Looking at living a decadent and extravagant life, hiding in a luxurious and safe palace, a piece of edict can make people flow into rivers... In fact, they are completely separated from the lower classes, and the internal fighting is even more serious. The core of every country is actually Already crumbling.Even if the daimyo is determined to be a wise king, he cannot stand against the nobles twisted together by marriage.

May recognizes the Kasuga family, recognizes her mother's unfinished plan, and will devote her whole life to it, because she can't imagine that there is no other way to go besides reunification?

Even if Naruto really becomes the hero who saves the world and quells the war as predicted, how long can the fragile balance be maintained if the five great powers still stand side by side?Could it be that the first Hokage and Uchiha Madara who built the village were not strong enough?

Three ninja wars broke out.

Or one day someone wants to break this shackles and rise up. Maybe Ninja Village becomes an independent country, annexation and conquest, and there will be wars in the world. If Ninja becomes the ruler, he will respect the law of Ninja and despise state affairs. The ruling class has unstoppable power, and civilians who cannot produce chakra are truly hopeless—although there are almost none now.

But Wu Yue felt that the real peace should be the unity of the world and equality in all places. Although there is a boundary between the nobles and the common people, the common people should also have a way to advance. Otherwise, after eating and clothing, how can they satisfy people's hearts and maintain stability?

What's more, although the nobles are knowledgeable and cultivated, the long-term monopoly of power will make people discouraged from making progress. How can the empire be governed by mediocrity, and promoting the talented among the common people can also promote them to make progress.

Once there are no more ninjas, no such powerful and uncontrollable power, even if one day the country is overthrown and the world is divided from unity, the war will only be weaker, and there will be no such painful injuries.

Wu Yue returned to the cave again, carefully collecting the calamus's corpse without using human hands.After rearranging his thoughts, the pain that could hardly be concealed was subdued under the delicate appearance - the death of a friend is painful, but there is nothing to do, encounters are also fate.

As for slandering the posthumous name?Destroy corpses and wipe out traces?

Heh, these are the prices that need to be paid. If you want to create a prosperous world, you must find a way on the bones. She is lucky enough. Calamus is not the first person to die for this, but the person closest to her .

Even if it is true that they are united and proclaimed emperor, it is only the beginning, and renunciation, betrayal and concealment will follow one after another.

I was amazed by the cruel words I accidentally let go, and felt a little heartbroken-will those utter devotion really be lost forever?The purpose of doubt was only for a moment, and it was quickly suppressed.Wu Yue felt that a certain part of her chest had become extremely hard, and she could no longer move her face.

What is it like to be in war, seeing people around you go to the battlefield and never return, and how ridiculous the cause is.No matter how much blood and turmoil we see in the future, it can't compare to those days when we were young and worried about people's return, fearing that people would never come back.

She really didn't want to experience that feeling anymore, and she didn't want her children to experience it.

It would be best if her heart was as hard as a stone.

Calamus was buried on a sunny day, and May chose a good place for her in the family cemetery.When she was ordered to go to Tang Country many years ago, she held her hand with a smile and begged: "Patriarch Patriarch, if I can't come back, can you leave me a place in the side room where you are buried?"

At that time, I pretended to be angry: "Our family does not like the practice of burial, did you hear me when I came back alive?"

"Okay, then it's a deal."

It seemed like yesterday, but the delicate and lovely girl had indeed been turned into a pile of ashes.

The construction of her tomb has not yet started, so naturally I cannot fulfill Iris's wish. There is always a kind of premonition, because the artifact Hachisakadama was put into the body many years ago, and my body has been at its peak. less than.

Seeing the tombstones erected, the pines and cypresses planted, Wuyue turned and left, only to find that Aikawa had been hugging her tightly all the time, lively enough to have gloomy eyes rarely seen in chatty teenagers, at first glance, she had really grown up.

"Just say something."

"Patriarch, do you still want to continue with the previous plan? Give Uchiha Itachi the eyes and power? After Ayame Sister died for it? If Uchiha Itachi is believable, if he is not a terrible variable, why did Ayame Sister commit suicide? ?”

"Even if you revive him after the dust settles, who knows what he will do!"

Wuyue sighed: "You are right." Itachi—indeed, the time to part ways has passed long ago, she has been pestering her all the time, only thinking about having fun for a while, and if she continues, she will harm others and herself .

After all, they are not fellow travelers, and it is a fluke not to face each other with swords, so how can they expect more?

The best ending is probably to watch him die, and miss someone in the empty palace every year after that.

At worst, it was to kill him by all means.

She just felt numb in the place where her heart should be.It should be numb, compared with the lives of thousands of people, how insignificant personal love is.

But this insignificance is all my joy.

A year later, news of Uchiha Itachi's death came.

May was making tea at the time, and itachi Uchiha's news was no longer classified as top secret, it was read by Aikawa beside him.The boy read out with trembling joy: "Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke fought at Nanga Shrine, Uchiha Itachi died, and the whereabouts of the body and Uchiha Sasuke are unknown."

Her hand holding the pot did not tremble, and the water was poured steadily into the cup.

The author has something to say: Opened a new article, welcome to accept in advance

☆, meeting

After Uchiha Itachi's death, everything seems to be moving in a favorable direction.

When the news of the death came that day, the patriarch's calm performance reassured many people, including Aikawa, who even happily handed Konoha the latest news to May.

"Konoha was destroyed?" Wuyue could hardly believe her eyes. Konoha's iconic city wall and Yan Yan had been standing there since she stepped into Konoha when she was six years old. It has existed for too long, and people have the illusion that it is unshakable—but, the illusion is an illusion after all.

After quickly scanning the information on the paper life sale, she propped her chin on the table with one hand, carefully considering the pros and cons... A powerful ninjutsu such as Shenluo Tianzheng can destroy Konoha in a moment, not to mention the common people, even Businessmen and nobles who have seen some of the market will be extremely afraid.Even if Payne and Akatsuki won't do anything to civilians, the existence of powerful and unstoppable people will always be disgusting and fearful, and they should be avoided.

The destruction of Konoha just symbolizes that the original Ninja Village system is not so unbreakable, and even the original social system...is not impossible to change.

Perhaps, this is a good opportunity, Wuyue turned around and ordered Aikawa, "Spread the story of Payne destroying Konoha with ninjutsu, the wider the better! Don't limit yourself to the upper class, find someone to make up a ballad, Spread it among the common people!"

"Yes!" Aikawa nodded and accepted the order, and was a little confused: "Is it to shake the heart of Konoha's army? But we don't need to face the enemy head-on with Konoha ninja!"

Wuyue swallowed a deep sigh. Compared with Aikawa, Aikawa is far less politically sensitive, but Aikawa... can only teach slowly now, "It is to create public opinion."

"The Kasuga clan reformed from top to bottom, and the merger of the five countries did not involve war. The upper-class nobles may change their minds easily, and merchants are the most flexible, while farmers and small handicraftsmen who work on the land are relatively rigid. It’s hard to understand, for the common people to accept the new unification of the world, a world without ninjas, they have to change their views step by step.”

"Unifying the five countries is only the first step."

Aikawa was a little impatient when he heard it, and wanted to curl his lips, isn't there still calamus?I'm really bad at this!Before I could say anything, I remembered that Calamus was no longer there, so I could only bite the bullet and understand these "useless politics".

"What about the second step?"

"Consolidate the rule and develop people's livelihood." Wuyue threw out this sentence without thinking, and then laughed: "Let's take it step by step, and now we still have to pay close attention to Konoha. It's best to wait until the public opinion is fermented and the war begins. It is the will of the people that we end the war."

"War? You mean, Konoha and Akatsuki?"

"No, that's not enough for a big battle. It's the coalition of five shadows, fighting together... the Great Demon King."

Ignoring Aikawa who was confused, he just urged him to go to work.

May suddenly thought, if this prophecy, which I have believed for so long, is false?

Then add fuel to the flames, fan the flames, secretly support the Akatsuki organization to act as the public enemy of the five shadows, and then take advantage of their gathering to fight against each other.Wu Yue thought coldly, no matter what, she would make that prophecy come true.

It seems that no one has mentioned Naoya for a long time. He left gradually, let go little by little, and retired, so no one was surprised when he really disappeared one day.

But the psychic beast who accompanied her from the most difficult time, his determination, ruthless, seemed to be transferred to her, existing in another way.

This is for sure, most of her political wisdom comes from Naoya, and a small part of "axiom" comes from her mother's teachings. When Naoya assisted her before, those cruel orders made her uncomfortable, but Naoya explained, no, she didn't even use it later. Explained, she silently accepted.Maybe she wasn't a pure saint in the first place, but she was born with a smile like a flower, which deceived too many people.

Now she would smile and ask, "Really? Do you really think so?" While waving her hand, she would execute all his family members in front of the betrayer.Decisiveness and ruthlessness have been engraved deep into the soul, fluctuating with every heartbeat.

When she heard the news of Itachi's death, she didn't even shed a tear. Although she didn't immediately have the idea of ​​"what can be done with this incident", she didn't have any other emotions either.

It seems that what died was a mountain or a river, which makes people helpless and unforgettable.

Recently, more and more people think of Konoha's people and things.

Soon, the people that Chunri and Wuyue thought about came before her eyes.

——Five Kages Gathering, Danzo was attacked.

——Four hokages reincarnated from the dirt.

——Ninja Allied Forces vs Uchiha Madara, Uzumaki Naruto vs Uchiha Obito.

——Ten-tailed Jinchuriki, the sacred tree, and the eye of the moon.

May carefully read the reports about the fear of the people in various places, as well as the thick pile of strangely shaped songs and proverbs, got up and smoothed the wrinkles of the bathrobe, and told the maid who combed her hair behind her: "Tie it up casually, don't wear it jewelry."

"There is no danger in this trip, just to see an old friend."

The author has something to say: hum!I'm so mad baby~ I wrote it for a long time yesterday, but I didn't leave a comment!
