("Oiko Uchiha doesn't want to be Neptune");

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 that, right? That person...that person has betrayed the Uchiha clan, and he killed everyone, including his parents.

, and then...defected from Konoha."

Little Naruto: "..." Huh? 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 details of their movements, even if they belonged to different worlds - and replied with a serious expression.

: "After you choose the person to imitate, you cannot change it. If you don't want to see me, I can leave here temporarily."

Even he can't tell 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, desire, pain, hatred, hatred...all of these

Intertwined together, it can almost drive an adult crazy, let alone a child.

Little Sasuke didn't say whether 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 younger brother from another world would ask him if he knew anything about the genocide. But these things 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 emotional identity. As long as he shows the slightest emotion similar to resentment, serious consequences will follow.

Come on. It is true that the upper echelons of Konoha made a promise to that Uchiha Itachi, but Sister Obito also did say that "the promises made by politicians are not even as good as toilet paper, which can still be used after all."

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

Little Sasuke had a clearly visible expression of disappointment on his face, and asked again: "When did that happen?"

"About six years ago."

"...So early?"

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

He is twenty-five years old, and is indeed much more mature than Sasuke's older brother, who is only in his teens.

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

For him, it is absolutely unbearable.

It must be said that his appearance is very deceiving. When he wants others to believe something, he rarely fails. Likewise, he is usually very willing to go out of his way to achieve his goals.

For details, please see the "Laughing Four" 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 first ten years of his life, he almost lived in one deception after another, and finally got it.

After a "perfect ending", the life after the "perfect ending" became like a tool man.

Perhaps since he was six years old, he no longer had the freedom to live for himself.

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

Back to business.

Uchiha Itachi said.

So, little Sasuke believed it.

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

After Uchiha Itachi was silent for a while, he replied: "Six years is 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 changes his position,

, he wasn't sure he could find a better solution.

The path chosen by Uchiha Itachi is already the best of all the paths he can find, even if it requires the life of his family, tribe, and himself. But for him, it is indeed the best result.

.

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

There is no doubt that he thought of his brother six years ago. At that time, he could not have imagined that one day in the future, his brother would kill everyone, including his parents.

"If," Uchiha Itachi paused, he continued, "you feel that your eyes are empty and your ears are empty, then work hard to grow up, and then go and ask that person face to face. Compared with others

Man, you are the only one in the whole 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 down on one knee and handed his brother and the two scrolls she had compiled to the black-haired child in front of him, "This

for you."

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

"The scrolls of Ninjutsu related to Fire Release, the highest level 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 a flash of thought flashed in his heart.

Pain and deep anger - in his world, his younger brother Sasuke could pull out S-level scrolls at home when he was a few years old. Although he couldn't practice immediately for health reasons, there was nothing wrong with understanding it in advance.

He tried hard to suppress the emotions in his heart 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——

"Belongs to someone else from your clan."

"..." Little Sasuke was silent for a moment, nodded vigorously, and replied with gratitude, "Thank you." He actually just asked tentatively, and he didn't expect to get so much 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 used to half-jokingly call him "Little Master" when he went to the hospital, those who used to considerately ask him "does it hurt" after every injection when he went to the hospital, used to come every hour when he went to the hospital?

Those people in the ward who are asking for help...

Everything has changed.

They looked at him with sympathetic eyes, muttering words such as "Poor, so pitiful" behind his back, and...

Besides them, many people have changed together.

He realized belatedly that he seemed... not that lovable. After losing the Uchiha clan, he began to wonder, was he really liked in the past?

He was still very young and couldn't think clearly, and he couldn't understand it. In the end, he stopped thinking about it.

However, I did gradually get used to being rejected.

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

"So many people have died there recently. It's very eerie. We won't go there."

"Sorry, Uchiha won't go."

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

…

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

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

How to make him not grateful.

How can I keep him from feeling complicated?

"You're welcome." Itachi Uchiha smiled, and then tentatively raised his hand. After realizing that little Sasuke only flinched slightly and did not show any obvious rejection, the hand fell on the top of his head.

, touched it gently.

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

However, here is just a cat, and the real brother is already...

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 little Naruto did before.

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

After crying wantonly this time, he had to accept the cruel reality that he was unwilling to accept at all, and then embark on the designed thorny road.

Little Naruto no longer had the appetite to eat. He looked helplessly at his "old enemy" in school, and his heart was filled with self-blame. Because Sasuke had been on leave for a long time, the girls in the class started to discuss it very worriedly.

At that time, he also said some sour words——

"Hmph, what can happen to that stinky guy? He probably wants to choose a suitable occasion to appear on stage and look cool."

He really didn't mean it.
