From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

Now that Uchiha Shisui is dead, Uchiha Itachi rushed back to Konoha that night.

It is obviously just a coincidence and has no relevance, but there are always people spreading rumors that are unfavorable to Uchiha Itachi. Now, many people in the Uchiha clan think that it might be Uchiha Itachi who killed Uchiha Shisui.

Listening to these people's conversation, Uchiha Itachi clenched his fists tightly, and his nails seemed to be about to poke his palms into pieces.

Obviously... You people have no idea what Shisui has done for the village and the family!

Obviously... I am the one who suffers the most!

The anger in his heart made Uchiha Itachi's eyes begin to turn red, but he soon calmed down.

After taking a deep breath, Uchiha Itachi looked at the huge Uchiha clan territory. It seemed that in his eyes, there was only destruction and decay here.

"War..." Uchiha Itachi thought of the things about the Hidden Cloud Village again.

"Shisui...if it were you, what would you choose? Family or village? War or peace?" Uchiha Itachi asked silently in his heart.

His eyes were full of complexities, and he walked back home with unsteady and somewhat stiff steps.

As soon as the door to the entrance was opened, the people inside seemed to have heard the noise, and a little kid ran out from inside, and then they saw Uchiha Itachi sitting at the door of the entrance, changing his shoes.

"Brother!" Uchiha Sasuke rushed over excitedly, ran to Uchiha Itachi's side, and said with a smile: "Brother, my shuriken technique has become more powerful. Can you practice with me?"

When Uchiha Itachi saw his younger brother, his originally numb eyes became much gentler. He wanted to agree, but in the end he said, "Sasuke, brother, I will be out soon."

"Ah?" Uchiha Sasuke's face suddenly showed a look of aggrieved.

My brother seems to be really busy recently and has no time to accompany me. Obviously, he would never refuse me in the past.

Uchiha Itachi looked at Uchiha Sasuke's aggrieved look, smiled, then reached out and touched Sasuke's eyebrows.

"Forgive me, Sasuke, I'll definitely do it next time." Uchiha Itachi said with a smile.

After saying that, Uchiha Itachi stood up and walked into the house.

Sasuke rubbed his head in a daze, then said dissatisfiedly: "Every time you say forgive me, forgive me, and then you will definitely do it next time..."

But Sasuke let go of this little unhappiness in a blink of an eye.

Because he knew that his brother loved him very much.

Uchiha Itachi closed his door, took a long breath, and leaned against the door wall.

"Ugh……"

After about three or five seconds, Uchiha Itachi recovered some of his fatigue. He shook his head helplessly and walked towards the bed.

He wanted to have a good sleep, and then report to the Anbu at night.

But just as he passed by the desk, his steps paused, then he suddenly turned around and looked at the table.

There was a note on it.

As a ninja from the Anbu, although Uchiha Itachi never kept any important intelligence information at home, neither Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Mikoto, nor even Uchiha Sasuke would enter his room when he was not at home.

This is a basic respect.

Uchiha Itachi himself was well aware of the layout of the room, and when he left, there was definitely no note on the table.

Frowning, Uchiha Itachi turned around and walked over, picking up the note on the table.

"I'll wait for you in the back hill." Just a simple sentence.

No signature.

There was just a circle drawn in the corner of the note.

This circle looks a bit like a whirlpool.

There was a hint of surprise in Uchiha Itachi's eyes, followed by gloom.

After putting the note into his pocket, Uchiha Itachi turned around, opened the door, and walked to the entrance again.

Sasuke was still standing there, watching his brother go in and come out again, and asked curiously, "Brother, what's wrong?"

As Uchiha Itachi put on his shoes, he smiled helplessly and said, "Sasuke, when you grow up, don't join the Anbu. The work here is too busy."

Sasuke said innocently, "I understand, brother. When the time comes (bccj), I will definitely become Hokage, and then brother will be my subordinate. That way, I can see brother every day."

Uchiha Itachi was stunned for a moment, looking at his innocent brother, a hint of tenderness gradually emerged in his eyes... Lord Hokage?

He reached out and rubbed Sasuke's head, whispering, "That day will come, Sasuke."

At this moment, the balance between the village and the family in his heart seemed to tilt a little.

Then, Uchiha Itachi stood up, nodded to Uchiha Sasuke, and left the house.

It didn't take long before Uchiha Itachi arrived at the so-called 'back mountain'.

In fact, only the Uchiha clan uses the term "back mountain" in Konoha, because the back mountain is behind the Uchiha clan's territory.

Combining this statement and the circle, Uchiha Itachi seemed to have understood who left him the note.

This happened several days ago, when he and Kakashi's team separated and prepared to return to Konoha first.

In the end, Kakashi came back first, and Uchiha Itachi didn't arrive until after Uchiha Shisui died.

Is this because he's not as fast as Kakashi?

No, it was because he met a dangerous guy on his way back.

The wanted poster of that guy is still posted in Konoha. As a member of the Anbu, Uchiha Itachi couldn't have failed to recognize him.

The instigator of the Nine-Tails Night, the villain who calls himself Uchiha Madara!

When Uchiha Itachi rushed to the back mountain and searched for a while, he saw Uchiha Madara skipping stones on the water by a small river.

That’s right, Obito wearing a mask.

A stone was thrown out of his hand, bounced a few times on the river surface, and then fell into the water with a splash.

Uchiha Obito didn't even turn his head and said directly: "I have been waiting for you for several hours. I was a little worried just now that you might not have noticed the message I left for you."

"It's you, you are so brave that you dare to sneak into Konoha!" Uchiha Itachi said with murderous eyes.

"Why not? Is there anyone who can catch me?" Uchiha Obito said very pretentiously.

But just as he finished speaking, he let out a strange cry, stomped his feet, and retreated backwards.

But the speed was not enough, a flash of cold light came down and hit him.

However, there was no sense of reality. Uchiha Itachi's eyes were solemn as he looked at his blade, which seemed to have cut into the phantom and penetrated the body of this 'Uchiha Madara'.

"Oh my, isn't that too violent? Why did you have to use force?" Uchiha Obito took a few steps back, still looking a little out of sorts, and said to Uchiha Itachi.

Uchiha Itachi held the short sword in one hand and made a seal with the other hand. He looked at Uchiha Obito and said, "Did you kill Shisui?"

Uchiha Obito???

What the hell are you talking about?

"Uchiha Shisui?" asked Uchiha Obito.

As a member of the Uchiha clan and a participant in the Three Wars, he certainly knew who Uchiha Shisui was.

"That's right!" Uchiha Itachi said, holding the seal in his hand, ready to go.

"If it's not me, why would I kill him?" Uchiha Obito shook his head and denied it.

"Shisui has a way to reconcile the village and Uchiha, and you want to destroy Uchiha, so you killed him, and now things are irreversible, right?" Uchiha Itachi said in a deep voice.

Uchiha Obito is really confused. What the hell are you talking about? I don't understand anything, okay?

And at this moment, the mysterious and unnatural aura on Uchiha Obito's body quickly dissipated.

He also became gloomy and indifferent. Under the mask, the three-magatama Sharingan looked directly at Uchiha Itachi and said in a deep voice: "It's not me."

Uchiha Itachi looked at the masked man in front of him silently. Although he did not trust this guy, he instinctively felt that he was not lying.

After a period of silence, Uchiha Itachi put away his short sword and released the spell, then asked, "Why did you come to Konoha to see me?"

"Have you thought about my previous invitation? Do you want to be my partner?" The gloomy and cold aura on Uchiha Obito's body dissipated, and he became a little out of tune again, and asked with a smile.

"Why me? Why choose me?" Uchiha Itachi asked.

Uchiha Obito touched the chin of the mask, then said softly: "Isn't it obvious? There is no place for you in Konoha anymore. ... Uchiha, Itachi."

Chapter 658 Sarutobi Hiruzen: We took some detours.

That night, Sarutobi Hiruzen finished the work in his hands and couldn't help but stretch.

After stretching like this, I feel my old body is much more comfortable.

"Finally, I can go back and rest early today." Sarutobi Hiruzen turned his head and glanced out the window behind him.

The night is just right. Although it is not too early, it is not too late either.

He stood up, piled up the documents on the table, picked up the pipe beside the table, took two puffs happily, hummed a little tune, and walked towards the door.

But before he could put his hand on the door handle, there was a knock on the door.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face turned bitter, no way?

It's late at night again?

Can't you come back to report your work at dawn?

Although he was thinking about it, Sarutobi Hiruzen still opened the door.

Uchiha Itachi was just outside the door, and he was still thinking about waiting for a response from inside before pushing the door open and going in.

Who would have thought that the door would be opened directly.

Then he glared at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Uh... Lord Sandaime." Uchiha Itachi quickly adjusted his state and spoke.

When Sarutobi Hiruzen saw that it was Uchiha Itachi, his heart tightened and he opened the door and said, "Come in and talk." Uchiha Itachi nodded and walked into the Hokage's office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen closed the door and smacked his lips, "When I get old, I don't have as much energy as you young people. I hope that next time you have something to do, you can choose dawn. I, an old man, am just about to go back to rest." Uchiha Itachi looked at the sorted documents on the table and smiled, but the smile was a little forced as he said, "Yes, definitely next time, Sandaime-sama." "Would you like some tea?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked.

In the past, Uchiha Itachi would not drink it, but today, he was silent for about two seconds, looked up and said, "Drink some." Sarutobi Hiruzen also looked at him with a little surprise, but did not say anything, just nodded, and then went to make tea.

Hot water is always available here, so it took Sarutobi Hiruzen a few minutes to make a cup of tea for Uchiha Itachi.

The two of them sat together on the sofa, facing each other, each holding a teacup in their hands, and neither of them had any intention of speaking.
