I, Uchiha Itachi, became the tenth member of the Straw Hats?

Itachi followed the rickety old man through the crowd and came to the corner behind the trading house, the rickety old man stopped.

During this period, many people have ridiculed the rickety old man.

"Is it that old man again? What kind of test is there?"

"It's really stupid. What is the idiot next to him going to do? Want to take part in the test?"

"Gahahaha, they are all a bunch of stupid idiots."

The crooked old man didn't pay any attention to it, and similarly, itachi didn't pay any attention to it either.

The rickety old man sat down after seeing that the surrounding area was quieter.

Itachi followed him and sat cross-legged.

"Brother, are you ready? The next step is the real test."

"I'm ready." Itachi nodded.

"But I have a question, what kind of test is it?"

After hearing this, the crooked old man gestured with three fingers like dead branches.

"You will see three scenes. After watching each scene, I will ask questions, and then you will express your feelings."

"I see."

Itachi nodded.

"Old man, I'm ready."

"Okay, let's begin."

The old man stretched out his hand, and a sudden aura enveloped Itachi and him together.

Itachi was astonished, he felt the world spinning before his eyes, followed by endless darkness.

"Old man, what happened?"

He asked again, but the crooked old man didn't answer.

After an unknown amount of time, Itachi's eyes gradually lit up.

In front of him are the streets of the village, and behind him are the very familiar gates and courtyards.

This is...!

Itachi was completely stunned.

This is the most familiar place in his memory.

Konoha Village, where the Konoha Guard of the Uchiha clan gathers.

This is your own home! ! !

"Nissan, Nissan.."

Itachi suddenly heard the voice buried deep in his memory.

He turned his head slowly, only to see Sasuke, who had just returned home from ninja school with a small satchel, running towards him excitedly.

"Ah, Sasuke is back."

Next to Itachi was himself sweeping the yard with a broom. When he saw Sasuke came back, he put down the broom and hugged Sasuke in his arms.

"How was your day at school?"

"It's okay, brother, will you practice shuriken with me later?"

"Well, I happen to be on vacation today."

Itachi in his memory picked up Sasuke and walked towards the backyard.

Seeing this scene, Itachi burst into tears like a bank burst.

With the flow of memory, time is constantly flying by.

Itachi witnessed his own warmth in the family, and then fell into the identity of a double agent of the village and the Uchiha clan, joined Anbu, and spent time with Shisui's best friend...

And in the end, he accepted the task, united with the masked man Obito, and wiped out the Uchiha clan with his own hands.

It was he who personally pulled Sasuke into the endless hatred, which made him grow up extremely painfully in the hatred.

The memory in front of Itachi's eyes is still flowing rapidly. He joined Akatsuki, teamed up with Juzang, Orochimaru escaped after failing to capture his eyes, performed a mission with Kisame, and returned to Konoha after the death of Sandai...

In the end, the memory stopped at the moment when he fell in front of Sasuke.

Itachi woke up.

Tears had flowed down his cheeks and dripped onto the dirt.

The smile of the crooked old man appeared in front of Itachi again.

"Please answer me, after reviewing your own experience, what did you find and what do you think?"

Itachi bowed his head, and he was silent for a long time.

Finally Itachi spoke.

"Sorry, I can't comment on my life."

"In my past, there were right and wrong, there was darkness and there was light."

"No matter how I think about it now, that already happened."

"What happened in the past is irreversible and cannot be changed."

"The me in the past has also been frozen in the past."

The crooked old man was also silent for a long time after listening, and he compared the remaining two fingers.

"Then let's move on to the next question."

"I will immediately draw the experience of a person close to you, and please tell me what you think after reading it."

As the world spun again, Itachi's vision also darkened.

When his eyes lit up again, what Itachi saw was that Luffy was sitting in a small boat, and he was waving goodbye to the villagers on the shore.

Is Luffy drawn?

Itachi looked at the scene in front of him.

Luffy defeated a sea dragon with one punch, and then drifted on a ship in a wooden barrel. After some encounters, he met Sauron, followed by Nami, Usopp, Sanji...

Together they went upstream and entered the great route, the snow in the drum kingdom, giants, huge goldfish, Alabasta, sky island, water city...

Luffy's adventures, the struggles of his partners, and the encounters in the Chambord Islands. In the end, the partners reunited and set off towards their dreams.

Then I met myself at the bottom of the sea, solved the crisis of Fishman Island, and came to Punk Hazard...

Itachi also opened his eyes when he was fighting the Yellow Ape after he and Luo Wei broke up on the Wanli Sunshine.

The crooked old man still looked at Itachi with a smile.

"So, please answer me, after seeing these, what do you want to say, or what do you think?"

After a while of silence, Itachi spoke again.

This time he only said a word.

"The power of companionship, the power that unites all we meet."

The stooped old man nodded at him, now he had only one finger left.

"There's only the last paragraph left, it's still the same, tell me what you think after reading it."

The world is spinning and the vision is dark.

When his eyes lit up again, Itachi realized that he was not looking at people's memories this time.

This time he was above the clouds, overlooking the whole world.

Hundreds of years of changes, the rise and fall of kingdoms, the re-emergence of coalition governments in the world, and the turmoil of the pirate era.

The intertwined battles of the major forces, the rise and rule of generations of heroes...

Also, people all over the world are in dire straits, and wars are raging...

The ugly face of the ruler of the world, the brutality of the heroes...

These messages seem to pass by Itachi's eyes only in a split second, and it seems like a long river of thousands of miles is flowing drop by drop in front of Itachi's eyes.

After his sight settled, the hunchbacked old man's fingers had all been withdrawn.

"After reading it, what do you think?"

Itachi said directly this time.

"In this world, there must be a force that can completely rule."

After hearing this sentence, the smile on the stooped old man's face disappeared.

His pupils, which had just lit up with a ray of light, also dimmed.

When the old man asked Itachi these questions, seven or eight pirates and an armored troop rolled their eyes, and fell down on the way to the old man.

After a long time, the old man asked again.

"Do you have anything to add?"

Itachi let out a long breath and continued.

"The power to unify the world must build a world that is peaceful enough, that there is love, and that everyone can live with kindness."

"Otherwise, no matter how absolute this force is, it will eventually be overthrown."

The crooked old man was planning to get up, but when he heard this sentence, he was struck by lightning and sat limply on the ground.

"Old man, are you okay?" Itachi wanted to help the crooked old man, but he found that the old man was not moving at all.

After the crooked old man stared blankly at Itachi for a long time, he squeezed out a cry that seemed to come from hundreds of years ago.

Immediately, the old man knelt down in front of Itachi with a plop.

"Old man, this is you!" Itachi just wanted to help him up, when the crooked old man cried angrily.

"Uchiha Itachi!!!"

Itachi was startled, he didn't understand why the crooked old man knew his name.

"I have already understood your past, and also understand your views on the future."

"Here, I want to say something next, I am very sorry!"

"As a burden-bearer who once carried endless darkness and carried everything on his own body to move forward alone, I am very sorry to you!"

"Now, you will once again shoulder an extremely heavy fate."

"Old man, I don't understand what you mean?" Itachi shook his head.

However, the crooked old man ignored Itachi's doubts and raised his head.

Those pitch-black eyeballs already emitted a black jewel-like light.

"You have passed my test, and it will be yours soon."

"No, no." The stooped old man shook his head repeatedly.

"I need to tell you the real name of your so-called Root Fruit."

"To be honest, this so-called root fruit is not a devil fruit at all, and it is not called a root fruit."

"We've been calling it...the spirit of the tree world!!!"

"The spirit of the tree world?"

Itachi was still in doubt, but the crooked old man had already jumped into the sky.

Just when Itachi was astonished as to why this body could still jump to such a height, the black gem-like eyes of the crooked old man stared at Morel Heita, he stretched out his hand, and a black-red arrogance was wrapped around his hand .

He swung violently, and a domineering force like lightning rose into the sky and landed on the Black Tower of Morel. It actually directly tore the incomparably strong black tower in half!
