[Hokage] Flower Time

Itachi raised his head and took his eyes off his sleeve.The crow with Zhishui's eyes flapped its wings and passed in front of them. He said, "I said, kill me, and you can get back Zhishui's eyes."

After several attacks, she forced Itachi to have no way out, but at the moment when everything was about to end, she had to stop and pant because of the sudden pain.

Susanoo's armor will consume her huge physical strength and chakra, but after a while, she can no longer support such a heavy load.The light blue Chakra gradually disappeared and disappeared with the wind.Her body fell downwards, and she half-kneeled on the surface of the water, barely supporting herself from falling into the water.

Limbs were drooping limply, and the overwhelmed body desperately longed for a rest.

"Is this the limit?" Itachi Uchiha, who landed on the river bank, frowned slightly looking at her exhausted.The Kunai in his hand moved slightly, but his footsteps froze the moment he stepped forward.

The exhaustion gushing out of his body caught him off guard.Uchiha Hanatoki, like him, is best at illusion.The two fought with illusions, and in the end neither of them won, but both of them caused the opponent's strength to be greatly damaged.Because of her troublesome illusion that can control the virtual and the real, his chakra has also been reduced a lot.

"Hua Shi... really is much better than before." He said in a low voice.

Huashi walked towards him step by step from the river.Although the arm was too heavy to be her own, she still insisted on holding Kunai.As she walked, she asked him slowly.

"The reason why you did this...what is it?"

"Why do you want me to kill you?"

"You don't have any motive for doing this..."

"You clearly know that although I can't forgive you, I don't hate you..."

Itachi didn't answer, but just stood where he was, as if he had lost the strength to continue fighting.But she knew—he can definitely continue, his illusion can still be used, his eyes are still scarlet, and he didn't even show his hidden strength too much.

However, he stood there motionless, watching her approaching him step by step, as if he had already prepared to meet his own death.

She slowly walked in front of him, and pressed Kuwu to his throat.Uchiha Itachi's face was very calm, without any fear or reluctance to face death.

"If you want Zhishui's eyes, kill me." He opened his mouth and said slowly.

The Kunai of Huashi trembled slightly.

She remembered a long time ago, the day when she first came to school, she stood alone at the gate of the ninja school, tiptoeing around looking for Shisui.

Suddenly a person behind her asked, "Shall we go together?"

"You're called a flower hour, the flower hour of 'Blooming Time', right?"

Her arm suddenly lost strength, and Kunai, who had been trembling all the time, fell down, and finally fell on the river bank covered with cobblestones with a "ding dong".The blue-yellow grass stalks swayed gently in the wind, and the small, half-hanging leaves trembled slightly.

"It doesn't matter anymore." She looked straight at Uchiha Itachi's face with a stiff face, and the words in her mouth were very stiff: "It doesn't matter what has become of this world, or how your life or death has become."

"To live with the regret and pain of killing your clansmen is the greatest punishment for you."

After she finished speaking, she wobbled and took two steps back.Without taking a look at her Kunai who landed on the river bank, she staggered towards another direction.There was silence behind him, no one made a sound to stop it, and no one's footsteps sounded.After she walked out for a long time, she suddenly heard a sudden and violent coughing.

Aimless, not knowing where to go.Consciousness has been withdrawn from the body, leaving only pain with every step.

A world where Zhishui doesn't exist is meaningless to her.

Sometimes she walks slowly, sometimes she walks very fast.Walking through the river bank covered with large and small stones, walking through a lush and green forest, crushing the fallen and dry leaves, and crushing the remaining light of the sunset reflected in the puddles.

The moment she stepped out of the forest, she just looked up and saw a cold moon that was almost full in the night sky.A gust of night wind raised the fine fallen leaves, and also blew her long black hair and the hem of her clothes.

The familiar space-time vortex appeared in front of her eyes, and Uchiha Madara's black figure appeared from it.As soon as his body in black robe and orange mask appeared in front of Huashi, she subconsciously took a few steps back, trying to escape from this man.

Shisui is dead.

She took another two steps back, stared at Uchiha Madara vigilantly, and asked coldly, "What are you going to do?"

As soon as she spoke, she felt the pain rushing towards her, and it annihilated her body in an instant.The ubiquitous pain made her gasp slightly again.

"I said, you will need me." Madara said standing in front of her.

"You are... Uchiha Madara." She took another step back, trying to distance herself from him, with vigilance in her eyes.

"I'm Uchiha Madara." He replied in a deep voice.

Huashi suddenly remembered what Itachi had said - "What I said is true. Including what I will tell you next.... Uchiha Madara is not the person you should be close to... He is the one I am talking about. The facilitator of the Genocide Night, he and I slaughtered the Uchiha clan."

At that time, Itachi had already planned to be killed by her, and people who were about to die would disdain to lie.

Uchiha Madara is also the murderer who slaughtered the Uchiha tribe.

——So, that night, Madara watched Itachi kill her with his own eyes, watched her use the remaining strength to support herself with her arms and climbed out a little bit, and finally escaped in embarrassment under Danzo's order, Uchi Pope is playing the image of a redeemer...

He sees everything, but ignores it.

... just to get her power?

"I don't believe you!" She stumbled back, but hit a thick tree trunk.In the night, everything looked so dim, and the leaves and branches in the field of vision were connected together, like ghosts.

"I don't need your trust." Madara said slowly: "I don't need you to regard me as a companion. Between you and me, there will only be a relationship of interest collaborators. But... you will definitely need me , you need me to guide you to a new power..."

"Itachi Uchiha thought that if he told you the truth, you would hate him and me...so that you could escape from this vortex...but on the contrary, from the beginning of the story, you didn't There is no possibility of quitting. If you hate me...you need my strength and guidance even more..."

"To recreate a world where there is still water."

She leaned against the tree trunk weakly, raised her head blankly, and there was a slight wave in her dead heart.The high-hanging bright moon was reflected in her eyes, cold and distant.A few leaves were blown by the wind and passed her eyes, blocking a corner of the moon.

——Recreate a world where there is still water?

"That kind of thing..." She heard her weak, lifeless words: "It's simply impossible. Zhishui is dead, and he will never exist in this world again. He is there In the river...he has already been buried in the Nanhe River."

"No, as long as the moon exists, everything will continue to exist." Uchiha Madara raised his head, looked at the moon hanging high in the night sky, and said, "Borrow the moon to create a new world where there is no war and pain, but only joy and love." The world. As long as the moon exists . . . all of this will exist."

His words made Huashi's eyes slightly widen.

"Impossible!" She vetoed again: "This world... this world...you do it like that..."

"For a while, I also repeatedly wondered whether the path I chose was correct." Madara Uchiha lowered her head, her scarlet eyes staring at her face full of pain and exhaustion.He reached out a hand and slowly lifted her chin.He looked at her as if looking through her to something else.

"From a certain day, I discovered that this world is always full of hatred and pain - but, in the spring of that year, someone picked a flower from the branch in front of me. That person is you... You once made me change my mind..."

Madara's fingers slowly brushed her skin.

"You used to be like a person living in a dream. Even though the war took away your family, you never saw your parents. You still grew up under the love and pity... full of happiness And innocent, carefree, without any scruples. You have a brother who dotes on you, a childhood sweetheart, everyone loves you, and you don't have any pain."

"You like that once made me think... my choice was wrong, and your world is the right one. You and I are like two completely opposite worlds... I feel contradictory and self-blame for this, even extremely Painful... Regret, and deeply envy your existence."

His fingers rested on the corner of her mouth.

"But... fate has personally proved for me that my path is the right one. No one can be as naive and ignorant as you used to be, loved and carefree. This world... will always be full of suffering. The gods took away everything from you, your loved ones, your loved ones, your past, and even your future, and then gave you endless pain."

He slowly moved his fingers away from her face, and the oppression gradually disappeared, but she didn't relax because of it.She was vigilant and waiting for his next words.

"What I say is correct. The path I choose is correct."

"Now you have grown to the point where you can be recognized by me. Then...in order to become my true follower." Uchiha Madara stretched out his hand to her: "Come on, once again, follow me. "

The night wind blows away all the fallen leaves on the ground, and the night sky is in chaos.Only the moonlight hanging high is not disturbed by the wind, like a condescending god, not attached to the hustle and bustle of the world at all.
