The border of the Kingdom of Rain, beside the river.
The gloomy sky with the roar of thunder and the pouring rain fell, just like the mood of passers-by.
A young man wearing a black robe with red clouds and deep nasolabial wrinkles on his cheeks covered his mouth, bent his back and coughed violently in the heavy rain.
The violent coughing caused waves of twitching in the body, and the sound was drowned out by the sound of the rain, as if he was coughing out all his internal organs.
Blood leaked from the fingers and was washed away by the rain. The scarlet pupils, which were lifeless on the surface, were filled with extreme pain in the depths.
The liquid falling from the corners of my eyes was either teardrops or raindrops.
With his pale face and trembling body when he coughed, Uchiha Itachi finally looked like a human being at this moment.
"Sasuke!"
"Sasuke, how could you do this?"
"It's my brother. It's my brother who didn't protect you!"
Itachi Uchiha was coughing up blood while muttering his brother's name in an inaudible voice.
Amidst the thunder and heavy rain, Uchiha Itachi revealed his vulnerability that had been hidden by his coldness.
And his partner, Inikaki Kisame, was sitting in the cave behind him to take shelter from the rain.
Looking at Uchiha Itachi who deliberately ran outside to get wet in the rain, a slight fluctuation appeared in Mikigaki Kisame's eyes.
"Mr. Itachi, your health is not good to begin with. If you continue to be exposed to the rain, I'm afraid it will get worse. I don't know what you are thinking, but from what I can see, you seem to be crying?"
If it’s your brother’s problem, living an ordinary life without eyes would be a bad thing.”
"Is it a good thing?"
Uchiha Itachi raised his head and looked at the gloomy sky, as if warning his younger brother Sasuke of his fate.
Without their own protection, Konoha will not tolerate the continuation of the Uchiha bloodline, because they are afraid!
Without strong strength, Sasuke couldn't even protect himself, so Itachi didn't hesitate to use his brother's hatred and resentment towards him to force him to become stronger quickly.
Because only in this way can his younger brother Sasuke have the power to protect himself when his body cannot hold on.
But as Sarutobi Hiruzen said, the will of fire has been perfectly integrated into Uchiha Itachi's mind.
Even if his younger brother's eyes were gouged out, he would not have any thoughts against Konoha.
Because, in Itachi Uchiha's heart, "the peace of the village" is always the first priority, otherwise he would not have left the Sharingan containing the "Alien God" in Naruto after his death to prevent Sasuke from retaliating against the village.
Although Uchiha Itachi loved his brother more than his own life, it was still far behind the "peace of the village".
If a person's thoughts have been tampered with unconsciously, is he still the same person?
It’s scary to think about it!
However, speaking of it, Naruto's belly is really a treasure chest, and anything can be stuffed into it.
"What brother? It's nothing."
It was sad to say the least, but when faced with Kisame Kisaki's comfort, Uchiha Itachi denied it.
Then he changed the subject and said: "But after that brat named Naruto returned to the village, he was isolated, and it was so strict that no one except the Hokage was allowed to approach. Something big must have happened in Konoha."
"We have no mission right now, so we just want to go do some research."
"Huh?" Kisame was stunned for a moment.
Then he quietly looked at Uchiha Itachi who was pretending to be stupid in the heavy rain, but because Itachi's back was turned to him, Inikaki Kisame couldn't see Itachi's current expression.
He complained silently in his heart: That's it, and you still say it has nothing to do with your brother?
Obviously he wanted to see Sasuke's situation on the pretext of gathering intelligence, but Mr. Itachi really didn't mean what he meant!
After a long time, Kisame Kisaki said helplessly: "I listen to you, after all, you are a senior!"
In the Akatsuki organization, Kisame Inikisaki, an honest man, would do this.
If it were any other person, Itachi's true purpose would be exposed directly.
