Itachi would no longer think "If I had chosen another path, would everything be different?", because no matter how he thought, the Uchiha clan of Konoha had no other way out.

So instead of recalling over and over again the process of his hands being stained with blood that night, he might as well seal up the nausea and pain that made him want to destroy himself at that time for the time being, and continue to complete what he should do in a numb and calm state.

only……

only……

He stared blankly at the man in front of him - the man wrapped in a black robe with a swirling mask on his face, urging him: "Why, Itachi, why are you standing here without moving? Are you saying now that you can't kill your own people? It's not that I can't help you solve all the problems..."

"Uchiha Madara." Itachi suddenly interrupted him: "No, Uchiha Obito."

"Uchiha Madara" was stunned, but he almost covered it up: "What are you talking about?"

"I want to take you to see someone."

"what?"

"The person you most want to see."

Uchiha Obito's eyes behind the mask moved slightly, and he obviously frowned: "Uchiha Itachi, when the time comes, what do you want to do? You have no other choice."

No.

He has.

He had another choice.

The eye technique that can distort fate, the girl who was once admired by the young man of the Hyuga family and called the "Goddess of Fate", it must be her existence that gave him new possibilities in his desperate situation.

"Nohara Lin. Don't you want to see her?" Uchiha Itachi said, "I'll kill her first, and then I'll kill the rest of the Uchiha people. It's still not too late - after all, the Uchiha people are totally unprepared."

After saying that, without waiting for Uchiha Obito to answer, he instantly rushed towards the welfare home.

He heard Obito's roar: "Uchiha Itachi!?"

In terms of strength, Itachi is no match for Obito now, but how did he know that he was not Uchiha Madara, and even knew his real name "Uchiha Obito"?

How could he know Lin? !

He said Nohara Rin is still alive?!

What does that mean? !

Therefore, Uchiha Itachi was not surprised when Uchiha Obito followed him but did not attack him.

But Obito didn't have much patience, fortunately the welfare home was not far from the Uchiha residence.

Itachi landed in front of the orphanage and put on an ANBU mask.

People from the Root had been to the orphanage before, and as a result, the director and an orphan named Kabuto disappeared from the village. Two more Anbu came, and the staff in the orphanage suddenly became very nervous.

Itachi said calmly, "The village adopted a group of orphans a few days ago. We are just here for routine questioning."

Who would dare to refuse him if he said so?

The staff uneasily led them into the reception room, and Itachi said again: "There is no need to bring all the orphans here, we can just randomly select a few for inspection."

"Then..." The staff member hesitated, "I'll go get the list..."

"No need." Itachi said, "We already got the list. Just ask the girl named Chaolu to come over."

"Zhaolu?" The staff member was stunned and hesitated: "But Zhaolu...she is a child with amnesia, so she may not be able to answer anything."

Itachi said calmly but firmly, "It's because of amnesia that you need to be checked even more."

Uchiha Obito looked at him, and his gaze was almost tangible, almost piercing Itachi.

When the staff left, he lowered his voice and asked, "What morning dew?"

Uchiha Itachi lowered his eyes: "You will know soon."

He couldn't clench his fists because that would reveal his emotions -

Although...it doesn't matter if he reveals his emotions now, Itachi has already engraved the habit of disguise into his bones.

His heart was not as calm as he appeared. When he heard the staff's answer and confirmed that "Morning Dew" did exist in the welfare home, he was so excited that it was almost indescribable.

She is really here!

Many years later, when they really met, Itachi had seen Asaka's memories. He remembered that Asaka had entered Konoha some time before the Uchiha clan was exterminated, but at that time, she obeyed the scroll given to her by Orochimaru and had no contact with the Uchiha clan.

Orochimaru said that the reasons for the Uchiha clan's extermination were too complicated for her to change and she didn't need to worry about it.

So, she lived in the welfare home wholeheartedly, and every day she only thought about staying with Naruto as much as possible when she went to the ninja school.

Uchiha Obito said coldly: "What the hell are you doing?"

At this time, the staff came back with the person they wanted to see.

When the girl's face appeared from behind the staff, Uchiha Obito was completely stunned.

"Zhaolu..." the staff member said softly, "Don't be afraid. They just want to ask you a few questions. If you know the answer, just answer it. If you don't know, just say you don't know. Okay?"

The girl named Chaolu looked a little dazed. She was silent, as if she was trying to understand and analyze what she said, and then she slowly nodded.

Itachi said, "You can go out now."

The staff looked at the two of them worriedly, then looked at Chaolu who had a confused look on her face, but they did not dare to disobey the Anbu, so they could only leave nervously.

As soon as he left, Uchiha Obito jumped up from his seat: "Who is she?!"

"As you can see, she is the one who remains of Nohara Lin in this world."

Chaolu looked at them confronting each other, with a look of confusion on her face, as if she had no idea what they were doing.

Itachi knew that she must be trying hard to recall the contents of the scroll Orochimaru gave her at this moment, to see if it told her what to do if she encountered such a situation.

"Konoha can't be..." Obito knew that the Third Hokage would not do such a thing, but he immediately thought of someone - "Danzo?"

In order to seize the position of Hokage and to gain more powerful strength, Danzo was behind the destruction of Uchiha. He and Orochimaru seemed to be secretly colluding with each other. The fact that Orochimaru was able to conduct human experiments secretly in Konoha for so long was definitely because of Danzo's protection.

What is the value of Kelin...

Could it be that she had briefly become the Three-Tails Jinchuriki?

She was able to successfully become a container for the tailed beast, so Danzo and Orochimaru thought that her physique was worth studying?

Uchiha Obito was furious.

However, Itachi looked at Chaolu and introduced Obito to her, "He is Afei."

Chaolu was stunned, her eyes clearly focused: "A Fei!"

Apparently, this name appeared in the scroll, and the scroll told her that she could ask him for help in the most critical situation.

However, she stared at Ah Fei, trying to figure out whether this was the "most critical" moment, but she was obviously lacking in experience, so she could only look at him hesitantly, not knowing how to get along with him.

"Orochimaru should have told you that if the situation changes, you can trust me completely and follow my instructions, right?"

Chaolu was surprised and asked, "How did you know?"

Itachi couldn't help but smile. Although he was wearing an Anbu mask and others couldn't see his smile, they could feel that his emotions and attitude had softened. "Since you can be sent here by someone through time and space ninjutsu, why can't I know about it?"

"Uchiha Itachi, what the hell is going on?!"

Itachi still ignored Obito. He said to Chaolu: "Then let me tell you, the situation has changed now. We need Afei's help. Tell him what you want to say."

Zhaolu stared at him for a long while, probably trying to determine what the scroll indicated in the current situation.

The scroll said that her true life experience, true identity, and true purpose were only allowed to be revealed under one situation - that is when she needed to gain Uchiha Itachi's trust.

But now Uchiha Itachi seems to trust her very much, and seems to know her true life experience, true identity, and true purpose.

Both Orochimaru and Shikamaru-sama trusted him...so Asaka thought he was trustworthy.

In that case, he said that if the situation changes now...

Chaolu looked at "Afei": "I am a cyborg created by Orochimaru. My biological father is Uchiha Obito, and my biological mother is Nohara Rin."

Uchiha Obito was speechless, as if someone had strangled him.

"Are you kidding me...!" He turned his head to look at Uchiha Itachi, the anger in his eyes almost bursting out. "Uchiha Itachi!"

Itachi suspected that if he opened his eyes now, the eye power he would gain might not be Kamui, but Amaterasu that could burn him to ashes.

"You can go and see her memories." Itachi said, "Or I can show you my memories."

But Itachi knew that Uchiha Obito would never look him in the eye. Even an Uchiha would be wary of another Uchiha's Sharingan.

"Asaroko," Itachi walked up to Asaroko, squatted down and looked at her, "What do you need Ah Fei to help you with?"

"Help me protect Naruto!" Chaolu said obediently, "Help me make sure Uchiha Sasuke doesn't kill him."

"What if he doesn't want to?"

"Then..." Chaolu was stunned, "Then...it doesn't matter, I will protect Naruto."

"If Naruto were in danger, you would save him, right?"

Chaolu nodded.

"You're willing to sacrifice your life for this?"

Chaolu still nodded without hesitation: "Of course!"

"Because that's what you were born for."

"Yes," she said quietly, "I was born for this."

When Uchiha Obito heard this, he suddenly turned around and glared at her, but still said nothing.

Itachi was still asking Asaka, "You have the Sharingan, right?"

"Correct."

"But you don't have enough chakra now, so you can't open it, right?"

"Yes." Chaolu suddenly laughed: "You know everything! You are amazing! You are worthy of being someone that Lord Shikamaru and Orochimaru trust!"

Uchiha Itachi looked at her, took off his mask and smiled.

"Orochimaru also sealed the Zero Tail inside you. You can absorb the negative emotions of others and convert them into chakra, right?"

Chaolu nodded and opened her eyes wide: "You even know this?"

"Bite me, Asaro." Itachi lowered his head towards her, exposing the side of his neck defenselessly in front of her: "Borrow my chakra, and open your eyes now."
