The two brothers from different worlds stared at each other in silence for a long time...

Little Sasuke asked in a dry voice: "Are you...also a ninja cat?"

Uchiha Itachi nodded silently.

"...Why did you become like that person?" Little Sasuke pursed his lips, "You should know, right? That person?... That person? Has betrayed the Uchiha clan, he? Killed everyone?

People?, including mom and dad, and then... defected from Konoha."

Little Naruto?: "..." Hey? The Uchiha clan was...?

Gaara: "..." Konoha?

Uchiha Itachi remained silent.

"Say it!" Little Sasuke shouted excitedly.

Uchiha Itachi also pursed his lips - when he did this, everyone would see that the two brothers were really amazingly similar in some detailed movements, even if they belonged to different worlds.

——Answered with a serious expression: "After you choose the object of imitation, you cannot change it. If you don't want to see me, I can leave here temporarily."

Even if it is him, it is difficult to judge whether the little Sasuke wants to see him or not, because the latter's eyes are complex in a way that is difficult for a child to reveal - attachment, longing, pain, and hatred.

, hate...these are all intertwined together, and can almost drive an adult crazy, let alone a child.

Little Sasuke didn't say that he wanted to see Uchiha Itachi in front of him, but he expressed something with his actual actions--

He continued to ask: "Have you... seen that person?"

Uchiha Itachi knew very well that if he answered "I have seen or even understood Uchiha Itachi", then this brother from another world would ask him if he knew about matters related to the genocide. But these?, indeed

It cannot be said. As long as Sasuke is still in Konoha, he must not know the truth - he is still a child and is not good at hiding his emotions. As long as he shows a little bit of resentment

Emotions, serious consequences will follow. Indeed, the upper management of Konoha made a promise to Uchiha Itachi, but Ochi-chan did say that "the promises of politicians are not even as good as toilet paper."

The latter can still come in handy after all."

So after thinking about it, he replied: "I saw it once from a distance and thought it looked very interesting, so I used it."

Little Sasuke's

With a clearly visible expression of disappointment on his face, he asked again: "When did that happen?"

"About years ago."

"...So early?"

"Yes." Uchiha Itachi replied with a sincere expression, "When we imitate the appearance, we will appropriately add some of our own imagination, such as the cat you just saw that imitated you, such as the one at this moment.

Me." He? He is twenty-five years old now, and he is indeed much more mature than little Sasuke's brother, who is only ten years old.

Although he has a convincing face, Uchiha Itachi is actually quite good at lying - or in other words, if he wants to be an excellent ninja, he must be good at it, otherwise he will not be able to do many tasks. This is perfect for someone who

It is absolutely intolerable for him as a Christian.

It must be said that their appearance is very deceiving. And when they want to make others believe something, they rarely fail. Likewise, they are usually very willing to go out of their way to achieve their goals.

For details, please see the "Laughing Crazy? Four Elites" emoticon package.

I don’t know whether to call it ironic or interesting. As the elder brother, Uchiha Itachi is good at deceiving people, but as the younger brother, Uchiha Sasuke is very good at being deceived. In the past ten years, people have almost lived in one thing after another.

After deceiving you, you finally got a result of "I'm all lying to you, no surprise, no surprise, no surprise". After the "perfect ending", your life became like a tool man again.

Perhaps from the age of 18, they no longer have the freedom to live for themselves.

The boy who loved the eagle could not become an eagle after all.

Let’s get back to the point? Biography.

Uchiha Itachi said.

So, little Sasuke believed it.

However, he was still unwilling to give up, and asked again: "In your opinion...is he that kind of...person?"

After Uchiha Itachi was silent for a while, he replied: "The years are really too long, enough to turn one person into another person." Of course he can say that he chose the wrong path.

But if he changed positions, he wasn't sure he could find a better solution.

The path chosen by this Uchiha Itachi is already all the paths he can find, the best one, even if it is paved with his family, tribe and his own life. But for him,

This is indeed the best result.

Little Sasuke was stunned, and then his eyes turned red again.

There is no doubt that they are thinking of their brother years ago. At that time, he could not imagine that someday in the future

Oh my god, my brother will kill everyone, including my parents.

"If," Itachi Uchiha paused, then continued, "do you think that what you see is false and what you hear is false, then just try to grow up and then go and ask that person face to face?

"Compared to other people, you are the only one in the world who is most qualified to judge him."

"..."

"For this reason, it is indispensable to become stronger in an orderly manner." Uchiha Itachi said as he knelt on one knee and handed his brother and the two scrolls she had sorted to the black-haired child in front of him.

"This is for you."

Little Sasuke was stunned for a moment, then raised his hands to read the scroll: "What is this?"

"The highest level of Ninjutsu scrolls related to Fire Release is B-level, but it covers almost all the Fire Release Ninjutsu commonly used by the Uchiha clan at this level." Uchiha Itachi looked at the child's sparkling eyes for a moment, and said,

A trace of pain and deep anger flashed through his heart - in his world, how old was his younger brother Sasuke when he could pull out the S-level scrolls at home at will? Although he couldn't practice immediately for health reasons, it was better to know in advance.

There was nothing wrong. He tried hard to suppress his emotions and continued with a normal expression, "There is also a scroll with practice experience and precautions."

"...Whose is this?" Little Sasuke asked.

Uchiha Itachi knew what he was expecting, but he gave him a negative answer——

"Someone else from your clan."

"..." Little Sasuke was silent for a moment, nodded vigorously, and replied with gratitude, "Thank you." He was actually just asking tentatively, and he didn't expect to get so much.

of help.

Especially, at this time.

He has always been a sensitive child, so when he was still in the hospital, he noticed changes in other people's attitudes towards him.

Those who would half-jokingly call him "Little Master" when they went to the hospital in the past. Those who would considerately ask him "does it hurt" after every injection when he went to the hospital in the past?

Those? people? who come to the ward every hour to say hello...

Everything has changed.

They looked at him with sympathy, muttering words like "poor, so pitiful" behind his back, and...

In addition to them, there are many people who have changed together.

He realized belatedly that he seemed to... also?

Not so likable, after losing the Uchiha clan. Immediately afterwards, he began to doubt whether he was really liked in the past.

At a very young age, he couldn't think clearly, and he didn't understand. In the end, he didn't think about it anymore.

However, I did gradually get used to being rejected.

For example, when I tried to see if anyone was willing to send some supplies that I couldn’t carry to my home, I was rejected many times by many stores——

"Where have so many people died recently? Is it so eerie? It's very, we won't go there."

"Sorry, Uchiha won't go."

"There, I'll help you get it to the gate of the clan at most. Then you can find someone yourself? Please help."

…

Little Sasuke, who was rarely rejected in the past, has gradually learned to be rejected by others.

But now, in this strange secret realm, he has received practical help from the "cat" who looks exactly like that man.

How can I let him? Not grateful.

How can I make him? Don’t feel complicated.

"You're welcome." Uchiha Itachi smiled, and then tentatively raised his hand. After realizing that little Sasuke only shrank slightly and did not show any obvious rejection, he

A hand fell on the top of his head and touched it gently.

Little Sasuke: "..." Even the temperature... is exactly the same as the palm of my brother's hand...

However, the only thing here is a cat, and the real brother has been...

The tears that had been in my eyes for a long time finally flowed down.

Uchiha Itachi couldn't hide his heartache and opened his arms, hugging the little child into his arms. The latter resisted for a few times at first, then tightly grabbed the clothes on his chest and burst into tears.

Just like the little Naruto before?

This was the first time since that incident that little Sasuke burst into tears.

And after crying wantonly this time, he must accept the cruel reality bit by bit that he is not willing to accept at all, and then embark on the thorny road designed by him.
To be continued...
