When I walked out of the house that was sheltered from the rain, I looked up and saw a gray sky.

Gray is the only color in this village.

No matter how bright the color is, it will be dyed gray in this village.

Yuyin, a village that can only place its hope in the rain.

During the Third Ninja War, this village was once ruled by the Fire Country, but then the Nine-Tails Rebellion broke out in Konoha. Konoha's strength was damaged and when Konoha was busy with various affairs, the village broke away from the Fire Country again.

The administration of Konoha, self-government, and recovery and development at an extremely fast speed.

And this village is the headquarters base of an organization called "Akatsuki".

It is also the birthplace of ‘Dawn’.

The icy wind and rain blew against the red cloud and black-bottomed coat, and the black hair fluttered in the wind. Itachi couldn't help but grab the collar with his hands. In such an environment, the human body can't help but feel cold.

It’s been a while since I joined ‘Xiao’.

But even after living in a new environment, everything in the past is still forgotten in my mind.

On that bloody night, he inserted the blade into the body of his tribe, ending the life of his lover, and also ended the life of his parents with his own hands...

Then, another childish figure appeared in Itachi's mind.

Slowly closing the red Sharingan with the three magatama emerging, the figure of the younger brother became clearer and clearer, and the hatred and despair reflected on the younger brother's face were so clear.

He is a sinner of his own race.

However, all this is for the village and to prevent the outbreak of war.

These are inevitable sacrifices.

However, Sasuke will definitely not think rationally about all this.

This unforgettable hatred will give him powerful strength, driving him forward to avenge his brother and restore the reputation of the Uchiha clan.

At least now, the Uchiha clan does not have to bear the charge of being a 'rebel' and is still a clan that Konoha can be proud of.

"Sasuke..."

Itachi murmured his brother Sasuke's name and opened his eyes again. The light of the Sharingan became as bright as blood.

"You look quite relaxed now, Itachi."

There was a voice coming from behind, and it was Inigaki Kisame, a teammate of the same team in Akatsuki.

An S-class murderer who successfully assassinated one of the Five Great Nations, the Daimyo of the Land of Water.

He was once one of Kirigakure's Seven Ninja Swordsmen. Such a character would betray the village and become a traitorous ninja for assassinating the leader of a country... Such a rebellious and unethical behavior made Itachi feel vaguely repulsed.

If you are not careful, Kisame's actions will plunge the Kingdom of Water into boundless chaos and break the relationship between Kirigakure and the top management of the Kingdom of Water.

Didn't he consider such serious consequences?

Itachi didn't answer, just turned around and stared at Kisame with his Sharingan.

He has a strong body and is much taller than himself. He always has a weird, bloodthirsty smile on his face. It may be because of his special face shape, like a ferocious shark ready to bite people.

Seeing Itachi's silence, Kisame scratched his head helplessly and said: "Don't be in a daze here. The leader asked me to call you for a meeting. You are somewhat conscious of joining the organization. You are staying here behind closed doors. You probably don't know yet.

It's a big event that happened in the ninja world recently."

"Big event?"

Itachi was confused by Kisame's words.

In the recent ninja world, apart from the genocide incident that he personally completed, are there any other major events worthy of praise?

"Haha, as expected, you don't know it here. How can you still sit still now? Having said that, you Konoha ninjas are really more powerful than the other, especially the ones named Uchiha, who are so arrogant."

Whether he was sarcastic, sarcastic, or just joking, Kisame looked at Itachi with interest, as if he wanted to see something.

Kisame's words made Itachi feel even more strange.

What does this have to do with Uchiha?

Kisame didn't explain anything to Itachi, but turned around and left, motioning for Itachi to follow him to attend the meeting.

Itachi pondered on the spot for a moment, then followed Kisame as he walked in the chilly rain towards the tower.

The scenery of Yuyin Village is relatively depressed, mainly due to the lack of population, so it looks relatively lonely and lonely.

In the past, because this was the area hardest hit by the Third Ninja War, many Rain Country people left their homes and fled to other countries to avoid the war.

Xiao was formed during those special years.

As Akatsuki's headquarters base, Itachi has been living in a secluded area of ​​Hidden Rain Village since he joined the organization. No one usually disturbs him. If he needs to go shopping, he will try his best to go out when there are fewer people.

However, since he is a newcomer and he still has to get used to the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan, he spent most of these days practicing alone and spent less time with Kisame.

This is because there are no tasks to do in normal times. As long as it is not a task period, everyone does not like to stay with others, but will choose to spend time alone.

Entering the tower, the sound of rain outside became quieter in my ears.

The hard and cold floor makes people not feel much warmth.

Heading towards the top of the tower, I met no one else on the way and walked smoothly to the top of the tower.

According to Kisame's description, this high tower is said to be the residence of the leader of Amegakure, Sansho Hanzo in the past.

It has always been a symbol of Amegakure, but now it is taken over by Nagato, the leader of Akatsuki. There is an area in it that is used as Akatsuki's conference room.

"Is it a brat like you who destroyed the Uchiha clan, betrayed Konoha, and joined Akatsuki? I can't tell at all."

A voice sounded suddenly.

Itachi stopped and turned his gaze back, concentrating slightly.

A handsome man with white hair stood behind him at some point and said those words.

The other party's appearance is very young, but his temperament is not like that of a young man at all. Instead, he looks old-fashioned.

The speed of Shunshen was very fast, but Itachi was not afraid. If it was only at this speed, with his own skill, he could see through it with his Sharingan and react quickly.

Although he is proficient in ninjutsu and genjutsu, his physical training has not fallen behind and he has become increasingly sophisticated.

"Hey, don't bully the newcomers as soon as you come here."

Kisame walked over and blocked the two of them. At the same time, he explained to Itachi: "This, like you, is an S-class fugitive from Konoha, Hiruhu. Be careful, he really likes to hunt blood successor ninjas.

.And he controls the five blood inheritance limits. If you are not careful, you will die."

Kisame didn't realize it at all and directly revealed Beiruhu's background.

When Beiruhu heard Kisame reminding Itachi that some of his abilities were exposed, he didn't care and just shrugged.

"Don't worry, the Sharingan is no longer in my hunting category. Compared to the Sharingan, the Byakugan is my preferred target."

Beiliuhu said this.

"White eyes..."

"I'm just here to see what a kid who can destroy the Uchiha clan looks like... In general, please give me some advice."

"Please give me more advice."

Itachi also simply replied.

It seems that this 'senior' is not too difficult to get along with.

And it comes from Konoha, Beiruhu... Itachi remembered seeing this name in the ANBU files before.

He was at the same time as the Sannin, but due to lack of talent, he embarked on the evil path of using human experiments to develop forbidden techniques, and became a rebellious ninja in Konoha.

Next, the three of them walked together and walked to the innermost room.

Bei Liuhu took the lead, pushed open the door of the room, and entered the room.

Itachi and Kisame also entered.

Nagato stood in front of the window, looking at the rainy scene outside the window.

Next to him, followed a young woman with blue hair. Itachi remembered that her name was Konan. She was one of the senior members of Akatsuki. She had a very good relationship with the leader Nagato, and the two were almost inseparable.

The other person made Itachi's expression change slightly.

He saw an acquaintance.

"Ah, long time no see, Itachi-kun. I didn't expect you to actually come here after leaving Konoha. When I first heard the leader talk about it, I couldn't believe it."

The eerie laughter sounded, reminding people of some not-so-good things.

Purple eyeshadow, snake-like cold-blooded vertical pupils, and a wide grin at the corners of his mouth, completely unlike actions that humans can do.

In other words, the other party is no longer a human being at all.

"Long time no see, Orochimaru-senpai."

Itachi nodded and greeted Orochimaru.

A disciple of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, one of the legendary Sannin...the reason for his defection is very similar to that of Beiruhu. He left the village in pursuit of evil forbidden arts. He is a dangerous existence with no bottom line of humanity.

With such people also being absorbed, Itachi became more and more aware of the terror and harm of the Akatsuki organization.
To be continued...
