The other ones are Izumi and Mikoto. Izumi...

It is undeniable that Xia Nan has a certain/extremely high impression of him.

This girl is beautiful, strong, and has the temperament of a leader. When Xia Nan was in a coma, she used her own life as a bet to withstand the siege of Konoha ninjas, and fought out of the sea of ​​​​blood to protect Xia Nan.

Nan was not harmed at all.

From a personal emotional point of view, Xia Nan owes the other party a favor that may not be repaid in her lifetime.

But Izumi didn't long for rewards. From the moment she entered the battlefield to fighting to the death, her goal from the beginning to the end was to use her own merits to atone for Itachi's sins, hoping to use her own merits to exchange for Itachi's chance to be free.

I have to say that Xia Nan is jealous of Itachi at this point.

As for Mikoto, although she has no direct connection with Xia Nan, she is Fugaku's widow and Itachi's mother. Fugaku took care of Xia Nan and promoted him to the position of clan leader. So Xia Nan and Mikoto are natural allies. Naturally

The relationship won't be that bad.

The three people who were related to Xia Nan and were favored by him all hoped to save Itachi, which made it impossible for Xia Nan to have his own way, even though he really wanted to.

………………

"Itachi, how does it feel to be a prisoner?"

Xia Nan asked. Although it was a question, he did not mean to wait for the other party's answer. Then he continued: "Betraying the family, betraying father, mother, lover, brothers, and compatriots for a group of outsiders. Now that you have ended up like this, you must also

I should have no regrets."

Xia Nan didn't have any unnecessary expression, just standing there made the air become chilly. The red and cold eyes reflected Itachi's posture without any emotion.

Itachi weakly raised his head and looked at Xia Nan, and said in a hoarse voice: "...Are you here just to laugh at me?"

Xia Nan was silent and looked at Itachi coldly.

"My personal idea is to kill you to avoid future troubles. But - Izumi and Mikoto are both people who are kind to me. They hope that I can let you go, the traitor who betrayed the family."

Itachi's fingers trembled slightly, and he raised his head to look in the direction of Quan, but because his eyes were a little blurry, he couldn't clearly see the other person's expression at this time. However, judging from the other person's shaking shoulders and low sobs, the girl should be

You may be crying with excitement.

Itachi lowered his head and let out a self-deprecating laugh. He didn't expect that anyone in the family would be willing to help him. This seemed to inject some sunshine into his already cold heart.

"I thought you would sink to this point, Itachi, but looking at your face and eyes, it seems you haven't given up completely yet. Let me ask you, Uchiha Itachi, are you willing to apologize to the entire clan and ask for forgiveness?"

"Because your betrayal has caused your father to be criticized by the clan, generally speaking, you should be executed or expelled from the Uchiha. Of course, you must keep your eyes before that. But considering your special status,

And Fugaku’s special case of asylum will give you a chance.”

"Kneel down and apologize to all Uchiha compatriots in the shrine. If more than half of the Uchiha present are willing to forgive you, then I will temporarily forgive your sins, and then based on your future performance, I will decide whether to continue to carry out the punishment or write it off.

"

"Think carefully about Uchiha Itachi, not every Uchiha can get such an opportunity."

Uchiha Itachi's expression changed slightly, then he raised his head and looked at Xia Nan and asked.

"Is this...does father intend to forgive me?"

"No, I'm just giving you a chance to start over. As I said before, you were supposed to be executed as a sinner, but because you were too young and your thoughts were easily influenced, I gave you a second chance.

Opportunity. Of course I will not deny that a genius boy who turned on the kaleidoscope at the age of 13 will not be killed casually no matter which family he belongs to."

Kaleidoscope? I see, it’s because of this.

Itachi thought as he gently touched his eyes.

Seeing that Itachi had no intention of refuting immediately, Xia Nan continued: "If you are willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the bright side and return to the family's arms, naturally the family will be willing to accept you again. But at the same time - you must draw a clear line with the people of Konoha.

And when necessary, risk Uchiha's reputation and fight for the family."

"The definition of this battle is up to your imagination, including mental battles and physical battles. Of course, the greater probability is the unified annihilation of the mind and body."

After Xia Nan finished speaking, the room fell into silence.

The silent dungeon seemed to have lost all sound.

Only the breathing of the three people in the room could be heard clearly.

…………

"Where's father?"

Itachi asked. He didn't know anything about his father and didn't know anything about the outside world.

In his memory, Uchiha should still be fighting against the high-level officials of Konoha at this time, and civil strife might break out at any time. And he was worried that Uchiha's rebellion might have a great impact on Konoha Village, so Itachi suddenly asked

Fugaku information.

Xia Nan mistakenly thought that Itachi was concerned about Fugaku's mood, and his serious face softened a little.

After all, Fugaku asked him to save Itachi's life. Although he felt unhappy, after all, Itachi in this timeline has not made such a big mistake.

And if Itachi can learn to look back in time and show closer to and care about the family, Xia Nan will be happy to let him go. At that time, it will neither violate the agreement with Fugaku nor hurt the hearts of Izumi and Mikoto.

It would be perfect if I could add one more help for nothing.

So with a slightly softer heart, Xia Nan no longer rejected Itachi so aggressively and said...

"About the patriarch, he——"

"What's going on in Konoha Village? Has Father taken care of the Uchiha clan so that they don't make impulsive decisions? If there is a conflict between Uchiha and the village, too many people will die."

"??"

Xia Nan had just shown a hint of wanting to be gentle, but was knocked back to her stomach by Itachi's next words.

"I remember that the Third Hokage brought people here at the last moment, but the Uchiha who were present surrounded them in an offensive posture. If I am not mistaken, this will become a new trigger for the Uchiha

Towards complete confrontation with Konoha——"

"So tell me! What happened to Konoha after that day?"

Itachi completely ignored Xia Nan's kindness and instead nervously asked about the situation in Konoha.

Xia Nan's face turned livid, and she was breathing heavily for a long time, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"you--!!"

At that moment, Xia Nan swore to God.

If Quan hadn't been watching nervously from the side, he would have already hit him with a fire fist.

However, Itachi misunderstood what Xia Nan meant. Looking at his expression, he mistakenly thought that something happened between Uchiha and the village, so he showed such a nervous expression.

Itachi, who had always been concerned about the Leaf Village and Uchiha, immediately became a little impatient.

"Stop my father and the hawks from making big mistakes, Uchiha Natsunan. If you still have the honor of being a strong man, please stop Uchiha from doing this. The mistakes of our clan should not let the village, and the village

The civilians here are burdened. They are all innocent people, don’t let them pay the bloody price for the conflict between the Uchiha’s ambitions and the village!”

Itachi raised his head with an anxious and pale face. He seemed to have completely ignored Quan's eyes that wanted to stop him, and also ignored Xia Nan's expression of shock and disbelief. He just followed what he thought in his heart and thought things would go away.

The worst step has come.

He is Uchiha Itachi, a spy who infiltrated the top brass of Konoha, and a pawn used by the Third Hokage, the top brass of Konoha, to infiltrate Uchiha. He wanders between the two camps like a wandering spirit. He once had noble goals and

The ideal, but everything came to nothing with Shisui's death.

But even though Shisui died, Itachi thought he had inherited Shisui's will.
