Konoha Danzo

Chapter 425 Forgive Me, Sasuke
Konoha.

In the silent forest around Nanshe Shrine, Itachi sat on a thick tree trunk, looking down and looking for his younger brother.But his thoughts kept reminiscing about what the Fifth Hokage said to him that night.

"If it were you, maybe you could become Uchiha's first Hokage, and become the ninja who completely cut off the grievances between Konoha and the Uchiha clan."

Every time he thought of this sentence, Itachi's chest throbbed violently.

The dream of becoming Hokage...

It is the deepest wish that he has never mentioned to anyone, and is hidden deep in his heart.It is the ideal that he never said to his unique best friend, Zhishui.

It's like being afraid that if you say it, it will disappear.

And when this dream was uttered from the mouth of Lord Wudaimu and passed into Itachi's ears, unprecedented surprise and joy, even fear and fear, all kinds of emotions impacted his always peaceful heart.

"Brother, where exactly?"

At this time, Sasuke, who still had a white bandage on his face, heard the murmured words, which brought Itachi back to his senses.

Although for him, this kind of training is just a game with his younger brother, but he knows better that for Sasuke, this is a serious battle.

Especially after returning from the country of waves, although it was a blessing in disguise, his pupil power improved greatly, and the three-god jade opened in his left eye, Sasuke deeply felt his own powerlessness and weakness.

Whether it's Kisame, Zabuzhan, or even Shiro, dealing with these ninjas, whether they are serious or not, is a one-shot defeat.

After returning to the village because of the task, Sasuke checked the information of the three opponents. Compared with Zabuzhan and others at the same age, they were as weak as children.

Although 12 years old, in a sense, it is indeed just a child.

But Sasuke, who has always been victorious, takes surpassing his elder brother as his ninja way, but he has no power to fight back against these two Itachi's defeated opponents.

So after returning to the village, Sasuke began to practice hard after being asked by the Ministry of Intelligence to describe the necessary tasks.

It just so happened that during these days, Itachi was called out from the roots by Hiruzen Sarutobi and Tsunade, and his daily task became to monitor the Uchiha clan.On the surface, they are resting at home and wandering freely among the tribes.

So he was dragged by Sasuke to practice every day.

Seeing his younger brother with such a serious attitude, Itachi couldn't refuse at all.This made him feel surprised why he gave up the mission and accompanied Sasuke in this kind of practice that was almost like a game of hide and seek.

Itachi was different from others since he was a child. When Sasuke was born, he had already been on the battlefield and seen hell.Precocious, he has consciously moved towards his own path since he was a child, and strives to become an outstanding ninja in order to eliminate conflicts in the world.

It is precisely because of this that when his younger brother was born, he did not feel that his parents were taken away by his younger brother at all.

Facing the existence that is connected with his flesh and blood, he can only be happy.

And this feeling became more and more intense as the younger brother grew up.

As long as he sees his younger brother who looks trusting and admiring, Itachi has a feeling that he must not let his younger brother's expectations fail.

Seeing Sasuke not far away with a dignified face, who was a little impatient because he couldn't find his trace, Itachi's lips moved slightly, releasing a little bit of the chakra on his body.

"!"

Sasuke's body froze for a moment, and then trembled. Although it was short, Itachi could see clearly.

There was a smile on the corner of his mouth. It was a small chakra fluctuation that children of the same age would never be able to detect just now, but Sasuke clearly grasped it without opening Sharingan.

My younger brother's talent as a ninja is outstanding.

"Here it is, Sasuke."

Itachi whispered softly, and a dark figure came silently behind him.

Have you mastered the skill of eliminating footsteps, progress is very fast.

"found it!"

Sasuke's surprised voice sounded, and he reached out to grab Itachi's shoulder.

"pity."

The moment he spoke, Itachi turned into a wisp of green smoke, this is a shadow clone.

"Ah, so cunning, brother!"

Sasuke yelled angrily, and finally couldn't help violating the training rules, opened Sharingan and began to see through.

Then, he saw his brother sitting on a branch above his head, smiling softly at him.

"Again!"

Seeing Sasuke's unwillingness to admit defeat, Itachi narrowed his eyes, and the dappled sunlight shone on him through the leaves, making him look lazy and comfortable.Itachi, who seldom expresses his feelings in front of others, naturally reveals his true heart to his younger brother.

If Izumi saw it, his eyes would definitely widen.

"Although it is said that after becoming a ninja, you will definitely kill people. But if possible, I still hope that this time can go as far back as possible."

Itachi knew that Sasuke was still immersed in the cruel mission of the wave country, although the final result was that no one in Konoha died.As the opponent, Kirigakure lost two ninja swordsmen, and his arms were crippled, almost losing the possibility of being a ninja.

But in the face of the helplessness and despair of Kisame's attack, Sasuke never wants to experience it again in his life.

"I'm already a ninja, and I have opened Sharingan, brother."

Sasuke pouted and turned his head away.

Although he really wanted to praise his younger brother, Itachi wanted him not to stop his competitive and uncompromising mentality.

"Sasuke, promise me one thing."

"what?"

Itachi turned his head and looked at his younger brother, and couldn't help but reach out and stroke his hair.

"No matter how painful it is in the future, don't attribute your destiny to the Uchiha clan and give up."

Itachi has made up his mind, but he doesn't want Sasuke to be trapped in Uchiha's glory and fall into dark emotions in the future, and refuses to break through the shackles of fate by his own strength.

But Sasuke didn't understand the meaning of this sentence.

"One more time, this time I will definitely not lose."

"It's almost time to go back."

"Ah, then tomorrow."

Not tomorrow, because the fifth generation came back and had already sent an order to summon him.But itachi was very happy to see his younger brother so competitive.

He believes that Sasuke will definitely surpass himself.

For Itachi who wished to defeat all his classmates by himself in school, this kind of emotion was very strange.

If it's the younger brother, it doesn't matter even if he is surpassed...

Although Itachi never showed it, he hated defeat more than anyone else, if not, how could he have achieved such an achievement.He himself doesn't understand what the essence of this emotion is, why he has this idea, but Itachi knows that this is the true vision in his heart.

"I have a task tomorrow, sorry."

"Humph!"

Seeing his younger brother turned his head again, Itachi waved, Sasuke immediately looked happy.

"Forgive me, Sasuke."

He tapped his forehead lightly with his fingertips.

"Go home."

Under the setting sun, the figures of the two stood side by side.

Sasuke's shadow, as if he has been chasing the tall figure around him, never leaves.
