Hokage - Mirror Love

?Itachi didn't seem to care about the physical structure of the person in front of him at all, and asked with a normal expression, "It really is you, what's the matter?"

"Itachi, the boss is very concerned about your life and death. If you are not dead, you should at least report to the organization." Bai Jue's tone sounded very light, and Hei Jue added seriously, "Although we originally thought you already dead."

Eri's face changed, and she looked at Itachi with some doubts and helplessness, were those reality or just a dream?

Itachi shook her hand reassuringly, and then replied, "I'll take a break, and I'll go back to the organization."

"Oh...that's true," Bai Jue let out a malicious laugh, "Because the boss thinks that you are dead, and that agreement probably doesn't exist anymore, so..."

Hei Jue took his words, "Penn has already launched an attack on Konoha."

"Itachi, there is nothing we can do about it, we all thought you were dead." Bai Jue looked at Itachi's slightly stiff face, and his tone sounded indifferent, "But you were originally an S-rank traitor who was wanted by Konoha. Shinobu, Payne is helping you by doing this."

Itachi's whole body was tense, and Eri seemed to feel his fingers trembling slightly.

"Itachi, I'm leaving first." Bai Jue's eyes sized up Eri who was hiding behind Itachi, intentionally or unintentionally, "Boss said, you can rest for a while, but remember to go back to the organization."

Itachi was silent for a while, then nodded with some difficulty, as if he suddenly remembered something, Itachi asked with a sullen face, "How is Sasuke?"

"Sasuke?" Bai Jue raised his head and pondered for a while before opening his mouth, "He was sent by the boss to catch Hachio, but it seems a bit difficult."

Itachi's expression changed instantly, "Hachio?"

"That's right, Hachio." Hei Jue added slowly.

"Well, we still have to observe Konoha's situation. After all, it's a big task, so we can't make any mistakes." Bai Jue said briskly, and then the leaves on both sides gradually closed, as if he came here again. Gradually sinking into the soil, there is no trace left on the surface of the ground. It doesn't look like a soil escape, but more like the body has become a part of the soil.

After Jue disappeared, the surroundings suddenly fell silent, Itachi still stood there without saying a word, his brows were tightly frowned, as if he was thinking about something serious.

Although Eri didn't know what happened, she still knew that the organization launched an attack on Konoha, and the target was more or less predictable to her, it should be Naruto, that's right, Naruto is Kyuubi, and Sasuke was sent to catch Eight Tails. This organization is indeed collecting Tailed Beasts. What is their purpose?

If Konoha had the ability to resist the surprise attack, Itachi would probably not be so nervous. He would become like this, indicating that the person named Payne might be strong enough to destroy the entire Konoha by himself.

Although it sounds unreliable, after all Konoha's defensive power is quite strong, but Itachi's dignified expression told her that this is probably true.

After staying in place for a long time, Eri thought Itachi had been thinking here for a day, and itachi took a step forward. Eri was led by him to take a step forward, and subconsciously said, "Itachi, where are you going?" ?”

"..." Itachi tilted his head slightly, the hair on both sides covered his expression, "Of course I want to accompany you to a lively place, isn't that our original purpose?"

"...But, Konoha..." Eri regretted as soon as she asked, and then covered her mouth with some annoyance.

"..." Itachi looked at her with a gentle smile, "For me now, you are the most important thing."

Eri stared blankly at Itachi's gentle smile, and couldn't tell whether it was joy or sadness in her heart, like knocking over a seasoning bottle and feeling mixed flavors, a trace of bitterness gradually spread from the bottom of her heart.

This is the first time Itachi has expressed his importance to her so bluntly, she is very happy, yes, but can Itachi really let go of Konoha, can he really let go of Sasuke?

He has never been such a person, did he restrain him...

Itachi stopped and looked puzzled at Eri who was standing there with her head down, "What's wrong?"

"Is this really okay... Itachi..." Eri gritted her teeth and continued, "Konoha and Sasuke...you really don't care?"

"..." Itachi stretched out his hand to caress her side face, "Eri, what do you want me to do?"

"I..." Eri opened her mouth, but she couldn't say anything. After all, she didn't understand the whole essence of the matter, and these thoughts were just her conjectures. Itachi is the one who really understands everything.

"If Itachi wants to do something, you can do it, don't worry about me." Eri said, her voice gradually became weaker, and even she became unconfident.

How could she not mind, itachi did any dangerous thing, she was always afraid, whether that dream was reality or illusion, she didn't know, but itachi was really standing in front of her now.

The pain of losing Itachi, even if it was a dream, she didn't want to experience it again.

"Eri, thank you." Itachi rubbed her hand lightly on the side of her face, "I've done what I should do, the next thing..."

Eri raised her head to look at him, Itachi's eyes seemed to be confused, not so much looking at her, but rather looking at something else through her.

"Itachi?..."

Itachi hung his head down thinking about something, his brows were tightly frowned, and it took a long time before he uttered two words, "...Hachio..."

Eri looked at his obviously changed face, Yao must be the one Sasuke is going to catch, "Is that Yao... strong?"

Didn't you hear that Sasuke killed all of Orochimaru? Eight tails are stronger than that Orochimaru?

"Hachirabi, Raikage's younger brother, is said to be the only Jinchuriki who can control his tailed beast transformation." Itachi described the information he knew in a low voice, "However, Sasuke's spell power was sealed by me, and Kaleidoscope also I'm still not familiar with it, so I rashly confronted Hachio..."

Although Eri couldn't quite understand what Itachi was saying, it sounded like Sasuke couldn't beat that Eight-tailed one, "Itachi...worried?"

"... Even if he is worried, this is the path he chose," Itachi sighed helplessly, "Uchiha Madara probably told him everything about me, otherwise Sasuke would not have returned to Konoha, but chose Help Akatsuki."

Does itachi's matter refer to the inside story of his extermination of the genocide? Sasuke knew that Itachi was oppressed by Konoha's upper class, so the hatred was transferred to Konoha?

"It seems that I still don't know that man well enough. I thought he was not very clear about my affairs, but I can convince Sasuke to believe him. It seems that he has sufficient evidence in his hand." After Itachi finished speaking, he became blank again. With a calm expression on his face, "It's just, what exactly is that man going to use Sasuke to do... He even used Yao to test his strength."

"..." Eri's fingers tightened slightly, and then she broke free from Itachi's grasp, and looked at him resolutely, "Itachi, do what you want."

Itachi's expression was a little startled after hearing her words, "No, Eri, I didn't mean that."

"Itachi is very worried about Sasuke, right, and he can't let go of Konoha, right?" Eri laughed, looking at him with crooked eyebrows, "I don't want Itachi to regret it in the future, and it's because of me."

"Even I can't play as if nothing happened after knowing such a thing, Itachi." Eri took a deep breath, and then let it out slowly, the depression in her heart suddenly eased a lot, " But you have to promise me one thing."

Itachi looked at her seriously, "Say."

"Absolutely, you can't die," Eri looked up at him, her eyes were firm and firm, "I must come back, I will always wait for you."

There was a flash of pain in Itachi's eyes, and he subconsciously stretched out his hand to hold Eri's wrist, but she grabbed her and tore his hand off his wrist bit by bit. The moment the two hands separated suddenly , Eri felt empty in her heart, all kinds of uncomfortable emotions enveloped her, but she still tried her best to smile with the corners of her mouth pulled.

"Don't make me wait too long..."

What Itachi said before leaving, Eri can't remember clearly, she remembers in a trance that his expression was gentle at that time, the big hand touching her head was as warm as before, when Itachi's figure really disappeared from her eyes, She clenched her teeth tightly, and the phrase "don't go" just stuck in her throat, and she didn't say it from beginning to end.

Self-contradictory and self-struggling, the feeling of duplicity is really terrible, the surroundings are silent, and Eri draws a few circles on the ground with her toes in a little helplessness. There is still some confusion in her head, and she stays there for a long time. Eri slowly walked back the way she used to come and go.

When she returned to Grandma Cat, she looked behind Eri in surprise, "Where's Itachi?"

"Well... I have something to leave for a while," Eri pulled the corner of her mouth with some difficulty, "I'm sorry, cat mother-in-law, I'm a little tired now..."

After walking a few steps unsteadily, Eri leaned on the wall and exhaled slowly, but suddenly felt that her vision was a little blurred and her head was dizzy. She stopped and pressed her temple, and suddenly there was One black, and then passed out directly.

"Eri?!" Cat Granny stood up in a panic, dropped the pipe in her hand and rolled it on the ground a few times, curling smoke rising in the air.

She seemed to be lying on the bed, but she could feel that something in her head was splitting and reorganizing. The cells seemed to be rapidly necrotic and regenerated. Various conflicting and messy information were transmitted in her mind, and then went straight into her body. nerve center.

When her consciousness was extremely turbulent, she seemed to hear someone talking beside her.

"what is the problem!"

"We have been unconscious all the time, and there is nothing we can do."

"There must be some reason, her Chakra state is also very unstable."

"Grandma Cat...she's awake!"
