Late at night, Uchiha Itachi stood silently on the edge of the cliff where he and Shisui met secretly.
Looking at the deep cliff, Itachi's heart was filled with sadness.
Since he came back from his vacation, he found that many things he knew had changed drastically.
First, there was Shisui, the man he regarded as his older brother, the man who had taught him to help him since he was a child, and who had conveyed the message of peaceful coexistence between the village and his family, changed.
He became a stranger, no longer the Shisui he remembered, and the so-called new views put forward by this Shisui made his inner faith collapse.
He has never thought about confronting the village because he likes to think about issues from the Hokage's perspective.
The current situation of the village is very bad, because the actions of Kumogakure Village have greatly reduced the credibility of the village, which has caused Konoha's mission share to drop quickly.
And under such a bad situation, if there is a fierce dispute between the family and the village, or even a coup breaks out, the impact on the village will be unimaginable.
Even more so, no matter who wins such a coup, the weakness of the village in the end cannot be concealed.
Every ninja village will have spies in other villages, which means that what happens in Konoha will inevitably be known to other villages.
And such a weak Konoha will inevitably attract the prying eyes of other villages, and the hatred generated by the end of the Third War has never diminished.
When other villages come to Konoha to seek revenge and launch an attack, Konoha will not be able to resist the offensive of other villages at all, which will destroy Konoha!
"This kind of thing must never happen!"
Uchiha Itachi secretly swore that he would not want his family and the village to fight, whether it was for the village, the family, or for his younger brother.
Therefore, Shisui's words severely impacted Itachi's heart, and Shisui's change made him feel that the Shisui he was familiar with was dead!
Under such an impact, one can imagine the fluctuations in his heart. It was because of such fluctuations that he felt some changes in his eyes.
It's just that this change hasn't been complete yet, and he still has some luck and some expectations in his heart.
However, all this luck was expected. Last night, when he hoped to enter the clan meeting to understand the specific situation, he was directly intercepted by Shisui and completely destroyed.
Why not go in by yourself, because he is a member of the ANBU, and because Shisui knows that he will report the information to the Hokage.
Why are you worried about reporting this time? Because this time the clan will be absolutely determined and prepared to do the most terrifying thing!
After thinking about these things, Uchiha Itachi couldn't control the chill in his heart. The suffocating despair kept stimulating his heart and stimulating his nerves.
Under such painful and extremely powerful mental stimulation, he opened his own Mangekyō Sharingan!
"It's just that this is not enough..."
Itachi Uchiha's heart was filled with sighs. Although he had obtained the most powerful power in Uchiha, it was a pity that he was not the only one in the family who had this power.
The person he once recognized the most, Uchiha Shisui, also had such power, and he had it for a longer time and mastered it in greater quantities.
He knew that he was no match for Shisui, and he was not allowed to participate in the clan meeting. He now had no idea what the family's next plan was.
Such a feeling of confusion and despair made him feel a little at a loss now.
"who!"
Suddenly, Uchiha Itachi made a cold sound and quietly reached behind his back with one hand, holding a kunai in his hand.
Just for a moment, he felt a strange and unfamiliar chakra echoing around him, which made him realize that there was someone around him!
At this time and in this environment, no matter who is lurking around him, he must be careful and cautious enough!
Suddenly, the ripples in the space disappeared, and then a mysterious man in black robe appeared from the space.
This mysterious man wore a hood on his head, and except for what looked like a yellow mask on his chin that could be seen through the moonlight, Uchiha Itachi couldn't get any other information.
"When we meet for the first time, don't make the atmosphere so tense. You're right, Itachi." The mysterious man spoke first, and his voice seemed to be chuckling.
"Answer my question." Uchiha Itachi ignored him, but his eyes became more alert.
His eyes turned scarlet, and his Sharingan stared closely at the opponent's every move, as if trying to find the right time to take action.
"The juniors nowadays are really too vigilant." The mysterious man whispered, and then reached out to take off the hood on his head.
The patterned mask is revealed, with only a hole for the right eye, and the three Magatama Sharingan eyes are clearly visible in it.
"Let me introduce myself. I am a member of the Akatsuki organization. My name is Uchiha Madara..."
Before he finished speaking, a cold light suddenly appeared!
The moment the opponent took off his hood and relaxed, Uchiha Itachi took action boldly!
The kunai drew a cold light in the moonlight, and the figure was already on the opposite side of the opponent's body, and the kunai passed directly across the opponent's throat.
However, nothing happened.
The mysterious man wearing a mask turned around calmly, and the three magatama's Sharingan looked at Itachi without emotion.
"Such small actions are meaningless. I have no ill intentions in coming here. If you insist on pushing me to the opposite side, I'm afraid it will make you regret your life-long decision."
The moonlight shone on him, coupled with the words he was able to control, giving Itachi an unprecedented pressure.
Not even Shisui had given him such pressure, or in other words, had never given him such pressure!
He stared at the man who called himself Uchiha Madara, and after a long while he said in a deep voice: "In this case, the first step in our communication must always be open and honest.
You just said you were Uchiha Madara. Sorry, I can't believe this. Not only me, but any normal person can't believe it.
If you don’t mean any harm, just take off the mask on your face first.”
The mysterious man suddenly chuckled, but said slowly in a low tone: "Ignorant Uchiha junior, I didn't expect you to live in your own narrow world like those mediocre people.
Everyone says that Uchiha Madara is dead, but what is the truth? People will always take their ignorance as the truth because they don't understand.
I hope you understand that I am Uchiha Madara, I don’t need to prove this to you, and it is your side that is in crisis now."
"Even if you are Uchiha Madara, what is your purpose in finding me?" Uchiha Itachi looked at this mysterious man in silence for a long time before he asked.
"What's the purpose..."
The mysterious man still maintained a smile, he looked at himself and Uchiha Itachi said indifferently.
"There is no specific purpose, I'm just here to see you.
I can see that you are very distressed, but I am not interested in Uchiha's situation, nor do I care about Konoha's attitude.
So you don’t have to be too wary of me, at least we don’t have direct conflicts, right.”
Itachi didn't say anything. He still kept me from knowing the other party's true purpose, especially in the brief confrontation just now. Whether it was words or actions, he was at a disadvantage.
"Ha, you are still vigilant." The mysterious man looked at Itachi's posture, and finally smiled nonchalantly.
"But that's right. If you believe it easily, it's not worthy of my attention.
It's getting late, so that's all for today's conversation.
But I need to remind you that Uchiha's situation has reached the edge of the cliff.
Not only Uchiha, but even the world has reached the edge of the cliff.
If you are in a desperate situation or have made a decision, you might as well come to me for help."
As he spoke, the figure of this mysterious man began to become erratic, and the last words he left behind when he disappeared made Uchiha Itachi even more silent.
"I'll come to you, tell whoever you want and say whatever you want, but I hope you can give me a good answer next time.
