Uchiha Itachi came to his younger brother's room.

The largest and best room in their house does not belong to the head of the family, Uchiha Fugaku, nor to the much-anticipated eldest son Itachi, but to the second son Sasuke.

The glass partition door from the interior to the terrace was not closed, but opened a small gap, and the warm and refreshing spring breeze blew into the house along the gap. The curtains were not closed, and the sunshine in the spring afternoon illuminated the entire bedroom warmly and brightly.

Unlike him and his parents, his younger brother Sasuke prefers a soft bed to a hard floor, so he is the only one in the family who sleeps on the bed.

Itachi Uchiha walked to his younger brother's bed with light steps, and then quietly sat on the edge of the bed. He tilted his head and looked at the man on the bed with a gentle and peaceful look, holding a green dinosaur doll, sleeping sideways.

black haired child.

If this family makes him feel suffocated, then the existence of his younger brother Sasuke is the only and greatest comfort. At this moment, he just sleeps like this, just like the "angel" described in those foreign books.

The sunlight shining from the floor-to-ceiling windows onto the back of his younger brother Sasuke is like the flawless wings given by God.

Uchiha Itachi raised his hand and touched his brother's hair gently, then gently poked the latter's soft and elastic cheeks, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and smiled.

No matter how hard or tired you are, no matter what your mood is, as long as you see Sasuke, everything seems to be unimportant.

And the training he has undergone since graduation has constantly told him one truth -

For ninjas, death follows them everywhere.

If you want to survive and protect the most important people, you must continue to become stronger, stronger, and stronger.

Otherwise, how can people who cannot protect themselves protect others?

On this spring afternoon...

The nine-year-old child who is trying to urge himself to grow up quickly is silently stroking his four-year-old brother. He is not urging the latter to grow up as soon as possible, but he hopes that the younger brother can stay innocent longer and die later.

Facing the miserable storms of the world.

It is precisely because I clearly know those pains that I try hard to leave the sweetest part of my knowledge to my younger brother.

Even if the latter never likes sweets.

The black-haired cub frowned slightly in his sleep. He dreamed that he had become a hero who punished rape and eliminated evil, but in the process of eliminating violence and pacifying good people, he encountered a green dinosaur monster.

"Where's the badass dinosaur?"

Sasuke bravely rushed forward.

Just at this moment...

Uchiha Itachi suddenly turned his head in shock, and saw that the bright light that suddenly appeared a few days ago appeared again. It was obviously daytime, but it almost illuminated the entire Konoha Village. He quickly stood up and fell to the window.

Open the window and jump downstairs.

He happened to meet Uchiha Fugaku who was hurriedly preparing to go out.

"Itachi, something seems to have happened on the other side of the door. I'm going to go there. Don't go anywhere. Protect your mother and Sasuke at home."

"Okay, father." Itachi Uchiha nodded decisively.

No matter how many conflicts there are secretly, they are still a family, and everyone's original intention of protecting their family members has never changed.

After acknowledging his father, Uchiha Itachi looked around at the uneasy eyes of the neighbors, turned around, and saw his mother clasping her hands on her chest, murmuring with a worried look on her face: "...What should I do...the rice balls haven't been finished yet.

"

Uchiha Itachi: "..."

"Hey...Itachi," Uchiha Mikoto looked at her eldest son, unconsciously seeking comfort, "your father will come back later for dinner and take away the rice balls, right?" She was also a female ninja, but in

After marrying her husband, she chose to become a housewife. It is precisely because of this that she, who has experienced many bloody storms, cannot pretend that she knows nothing, or in other words, she understands too well——

The unknown often means extreme danger.

She knew that her husband was protecting the village, and even if he died for it, it would be a great honor. However, even so, she still hoped... that the family could continue to live well.

It has nothing to do with anything else, this is the most basic desire deep in a mother’s heart.

Maybe it's selfish, but it's true.

After Uchiha Itachi was silent for a while, he chose to comfort his mother: "Of course. Don't worry, mother, my father is very strong and nothing will happen to him."

Uchiha Mikoto breathed a sigh of relief, but when she saw the worried eyes of the neighbors around her, her heart sank again: Yes... her husband Fugaku is very strong, but where are the other clan members? Where are the other members of the Konoha Police Department?

?Not everyone is that strong, so can they come back safely?

Soon after.

The wooden door located on the outskirts of Konoha was once again surrounded by people.

Not only ANBU, NENBU, and members of the Konoha Police Department, but also the Third Generation and other upper-level villagers came to the scene and sat in front of them, waiting as if they were facing a formidable enemy to see the changes in the door after it "glowed again."

After a while.

The wooden door is under everyone's gaze...

The door lock rotates slowly.

Then, he was pushed away.

Many people subconsciously held their breath, and then they saw...

A young man in his early twenties walked out.

"..."

"..."

"..."

…

The scene suddenly fell silent.

Not only because of reasons such as "the door suddenly became useful", "the door actually can pass through", "people can walk out of the door", but also because of this man holding the samurai sword hilt on his waist with one hand

, the young black-haired man slowly walked out of it, with amazing...

Beauty.

Beauty itself is a kind of "power".

And the ultimate beauty never fails to shock people.

For example, at this moment, this short-haired young man with a handsome appearance, sharp eyes, and an upright figure was so perfect that one could almost say "God's creation", but then, everyone understood...

Because although this man was wearing a white samurai uniform with a blue upper part and a lower part, he was also wearing a black cloak, with a pattern on the back that was very familiar to everyone——

Round fan.

Yes, it is the emblem of the Uchiha clan.

At the same time, Uchiha Fugaku was almost shocked to find that this young man seemed more like the biological father of his second son Sasuke than himself. Well, he didn't doubt his wife's intention, he was just discussing the matter.

Uchiha Sasuke, who walked out of the door, looked around at the people around him and briefly judged the current situation. Finally, his eyes also fell on Uchiha Fugaku.

Just at this moment, the door behind him closed with a "squeak" sound.

"Huh?" Uchiha Sasuke raised an eyebrow, turned around and tried to grab the door lock again, but this time, he failed.

There is no doubt that a door that has been activated once has lost its "sense of presence" again.

After several unsuccessful attempts, he probably had an idea in his mind, "tsk" and gave up for the time being.

At this moment...

Standing on the rooftop in the distance, the Sandaime Hokage in ninja uniform said: "Young man, are you a member of the Uchiha clan?"

Uchiha Sasuke raised his eyes to look at the other person and replied: "Obviously." After all, his wife said that he is the most typical Uchiha, with all the characteristics that Uchiha should have, so typical that it can be confirmed with just one look.

Then, he looked at Uchiha Fugaku again, and said with a bit of "mischievous" mentality——

"Forget it about others, don't you recognize me? Father."

Uchiha Fugaku: "???" I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense, I am loyal to my wife and the world can tell.

At this moment, the gazes cast on him by the others made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

The member of the Uchiha Police Department on the side said uncertainly: "No, it can't be right? Master Fugaku is only thirty-six years old this year."

"Yeah, even if you look a little old...cough!"

"It's just that the patriarch shouldn't have the guts to carry...cough!"

…

Uchiha Fugaku didn't want to deal with this group of fools who accidentally ruined his reputation.

"Young man," the Sandaime asked Uchiha Sasuke again, "how old are you?"

Uchiha Sasuke raised his lips slightly and replied: "Twenty-five years old."

Others: "???"

Outrageous.

Let me ask, how could the thirty-six-year-old Uchiha Fugaku have a twenty-five-year-old son?

This is not reliable at first sight.
