Journey from Konoha

Chapter 48 The Last Warmth

a few days later.

"Weasel!"

Quan ran to Itachi's door and greeted Itachi.

Through the matter of the mirror man, Quan was finally able to get in touch with Itachi, otherwise, in the past, it was very difficult for Quan to see him because Itachi was in the shadows.

"Ah, it's a spring."

Itachi smiled gently, and nodded towards Quan. After Shisui died and Kagami defected, the only ones who could bring some warmth to Itachi's heart were his parents, Sasuke, and the girl in front of him. .

"Shall we go eat tricolor balls together today?"

"Ah, this, next time"

Itachi hesitated, he wanted to say next time, he wanted to devote all his time to the relationship between Konoha and Uchiha, he wanted to do everything possible to find a solution to this conflict, but when the words came On the lips, Itachi was a little bit reluctant. After meeting with Izumi for several days, he tasted the long-lost warmth.

Whether it's Konoha's high-level or Uchiha's high-level, they are too cold, and Itachi has to work hard to become a machine, a machine for the preservation of the village, without a trace of emotion, like a piece of ice.

However, after tasting that warmth, he seems to have turned back into a [person] again, he is not willing to reject that warmth, really reluctant.

But Konoha and Uchiha need him.

Thinking of this, the longing in Itachi's eyes was firmly suppressed, he smiled slightly, as if he really didn't care.

"Quan, I still have something to do, next time."

"Is that so, but, Itachi"

Quan looked at Itachi with some hesitation. If Itachi rejected Quan's invitation flatly and neatly, Quan would not continue to pester Itachi, but just now, Quan clearly saw the short-lived longing in Itachi's eyes.

Quan is not a silly girl, she can probably guess that Itachi should have something that needs him to suppress his emotions, but it is precisely because of this that she can't help feeling a little heartbroken, she doesn't want Itachi to do things that go against her own will She hopes that Itachi can live a happy life, just like when he was a child, although he is a genius, he lives very freely and occasionally is a little shy.

"Okay okay."

In the end, Quan didn't force Itachi to stay. She didn't want to force Itachi, and Itachi was already under a lot of pressure. She really didn't dare to trouble him anymore.

Quan knew that they were not children anymore.

"Itachi, let's go!"

However, a voice came from behind Itachi, it was Uchiha Fugaku's voice.

Fu Yue looked at Itachi coldly.

"Go, don't just know how to perform Anbu's tasks every day, Anbu doesn't have so many tasks."

Although this father, as the patriarch of Uchiha, knew how much Uchiha and Konoha needed Itachi, he still softened his heart.

Itachi, but his son.

[Go, go and have fun, I can't even give my son a day to play. 】

In his heart, Fu Yue spoke with some distress.

But on the face, Fuyue still spoke coldly.

"This is to order you as the father, as the head of the Uchiha clan. You don't need to perform tasks today, understand?!"

Itachi frowned slightly.

"But, father"

"Understand?!!"

Fu Yue forcefully interrupted Itachi's words.

[Go, go, you have worked very hard, Itachi, one day is really not much, go! 】

Itachi still hesitated.

"Father, I think"

"Don't you understand me? You don't need to perform tasks today, let's say it one last time, understand?!"

Fu Yue interrupted Itachi again.

Itachi opened his mouth, as if he wanted to explain, but seeing the stern look in Fuyue's eyes, Itachi finally didn't refute again, and nodded.

"understood."

In the depths of his eyes, there was an uncontrollable touch, how could Itachi not understand Fuyue's intentions?

However, times make people, and in this environment, Fugaku, as the Uchiha patriarch, needs to wear a mask, and Itachi, as Anbu, also needs to wear a mask.

For the sake of Fujigake and the Uchiha clan, Itachi wants to devote all his time to Uchiha and the village.Fu Yue thinks about Itachi's feelings. He doesn't want his son to become an emotionless ninja. He hopes Itachi can live a happier life.

The father and son are both thinking about each other, but the two seem to be arguing, and even the emotion can only be hidden in their eyes.This era is absolutely cruel to the father and son.

After a while, Itachi and Quan left together.

Fu Yue stood in the yard, wondering what he was thinking.

"It's good to be gone."

Uchiha Mikoto walked out from behind Fugaku, smiling and looking in the direction Itachi and the others left.

Fu Yue looked at Uchiha Mikoto, sighed, and said apologetically.

"Itachi has burdened too much, as a father, I am sorry for this child"

Uchiha Mikoto smiled gently at Fugaku.

"You father and son are the same, I know, you tried your best, I can understand, but it's me, it's useless."

A smile slowly appeared on Fu Yue's face, he turned around and walked back home.

"Stop talking nonsense."

In this repressed family-village grievance, everyone involved needs comfort. Itachi couldn't bear to abandon the warmth that Izumi brought him, and Fugaku couldn't bear to abandon the warmth that Uchiha Mikoto brought to him.

This village, for them Uchiha, is really too cold, they must find some warmth to keep themselves going and not collapse.

riverside.

Quan and Itachi took the three-color balls they bought and sat on the bridge to eat them.

"Itachi, you have opened the same eyes as mine now, right?"

Quan ate the three-color meatball, and suddenly spoke.

Once when I was a child, Izumi and Itachi also sat here.

At the beginning, Quan was still stupid, self-assertive and a little pitiful, and said to Itachi that a genius like Itachi would not like three-color balls, and then handed himself pitifully in front of Itachi, intending to talk to Itachi He took back the three-color balls that he ate together, and then started to eat them by himself. As a result, he stared at Quan in a daze at the Itachi at that time.

It was also from that day that Quan learned that Itachi also liked to eat three-color meatballs.

That time, in order to apologize to Itachi, Quan said he would give Itachi a gift.

As a result, Itachi looked at Izumi's eyes at that time—Izumi's eyes opened to Sangouyu when his parents died because of the Nine-Tails Rebellion.

At that time, Itachi had just opened Sharingan and knew the pain of opening his eyes. Perhaps, Itachi just felt sorry for the spring.

But Quan thought Itachi wanted his own eyes, lowered his head, and said disappointedly, sorry, I can't give this to you.

Up to now, Izumi asked Itachi if he opened the same eyes with only one purpose.

Itachi froze, and replied.

"Ah."

"It must be painful, right? I can understand."

Quan spoke pitifully, she just wanted to comfort Itachi, for some reason, she always felt that Itachi had a very, very bitter life.

Itachi was silent for a long time, then spoke lightly.

"Well, it hurts."

A faint sentence, but I don't know how much pain it contains.

Quan smiled.

"In the future, if Itachi is in any pain, just come and talk to me, I don't want to see Itachi sad."

Itachi stopped, he could tell that the girl in front of him spoke from the bottom of his heart.

"How? I'm very reliable! Itachi, it's hard to bear the pain alone, I know, so if there is any pain, please take me with you! I'm very reliable!"

【I'm very reliable! 】This sentence was repeated twice by Quan. She seemed to really want to prove herself in front of Itachi, and she really hoped to help Itachi share the pain.

This time, Itachi didn't say yes for a long time, and Quan's gaze gradually changed from expectation and longing to disappointment, and she forced a smile on her face.

"I'm sorry, Itachi, I'm too self-assertive, really, how can a person like me understand a genius like Itachi? I'm very sorry, it's all my fault, I'm really sorry, just pretend that I didn't say these words Bar."

Just like when she was a child, once this girl apologized, she would say [sorry] several times in a row. It seemed that only in this way could she express her apology, which was so cute that people felt pity.

Itachi's black pupils reflected Izumi's appearance, until now, he still didn't answer Izumi, but raised his hand and shaved Izumi's face.

"The meatball got on my face."

At this moment, under the setting sun, both of them blushed.

After a long time, Itachi and Izumi stood up, ready to leave.

However, as soon as they turned around, the two found that not far behind them stood a person wearing a Xiaopao and wearing a bamboo hat to cover his face, facing them sideways.

Quan was slightly surprised, this scene was exactly the same as when Quan met the mirror man a few days ago.

But Itachi wasn't surprised at all, as if he didn't see the mirror man at all, he took Quan and walked over directly.

Just like that, the three passed each other, Itachi and Izumi didn't stop there, as if they really didn't see the mirror man.

However, the mirror man smiled with satisfaction. The moment the mirror man passed by Itachi, the mirror man's mouth moved slightly. Although he didn't make any sound, the mirror man believed that Itachi would be able to understand it according to the shape of his mouth. own words.

After passing by, Quan slightly turned his head and looked back, but there was nothing there, as if no one had existed from the beginning to the end.

"Oh? Itachi, did you see that man just now?"

A warm smile appeared on Itachi's plain face.

"I saw it."

At that moment, Itachi also said a word to the mirror man.

At the moment when they passed by, what the mirror man said to Itachi was.

[She is a very good girl, Brother Itachi, don't lose her. 】

Itachi said yes to the mirror man.

[Remember to protect yourself. 】

The setting sun shone on the small river, and it looked extraordinarily warm. Even though the village was so cold, there were still people who handed their firelights to others for warmth.

This is the last warmth.

　Good morning friends!

　　Originally, I didn’t have such a plot in my original manuscript, so I just skipped it, but in the end I thought about it, and I wrote it out. I really don’t want Itachi to suffer forever. Before the genocide, I want to give Itachi some warmth.

　　I don't know if the writing is good or not. I have never been very good at writing emotional dramas about love, but this time I really wanted to write, so I wrote it.

　　If the writing is not good, I hope my friends will understand, thank you!

　　Well, finally, March 3th is Hinata Hanabi's birthday, so let me celebrate Hinata Hanabi's birthday on behalf of this book.

　　—Hanabi, happy birthday!Another year older!
