Brother, you are my jade - Asma of Hokage

These days, Ah Yi has been thinking about the meaning of those words Itachi said on the day of the conflict with the tribe.

"'In order to be closer to the peak'... The "peak" of the Uchiha clan should refer to their ancestor Uchiha Madara, right? Since Itachi wants to be close to the peak of Uchiha Madara, why does he show the desire to break with the family? What does it look like?" A Yi remembered the situation when Itachi used Kunai to pierce the Uchiha clan emblem on the wall.

"Itachi said that their clansmen are obsessed with 'family' and 'name', ignoring more important things. Does this sentence... mean-"

Ayi seems to understand something. The Uchiha clan has always been isolated in the village. There have never been any members of the Uchiha clan in the village's senior management, and their clan has always been in the village as a security team. In such a situation, if the Uchiha clan is dissatisfied or even rebellious, then...!

"Itachi, I know you as such a peace-loving person. Surely you don't want conflicts and wars between the family and the village? Although this is just my unfounded guess... If the safety of the village is threatened by the Uchiha clan , would you rather break up with the family..."

"My capacity... I'm already desperate for this useless family!" A Yi's mind reappeared in the obscure words of Itachi's declaration, but gradually became confused again.

"Measurement... I still can't figure it out?... Let's not say that I can't understand Itachi at all. The previous ones were all based on my subjective trust in Itachi... If Itachi has been lying to everyone, then these inferences, I can't stand at all..."

Ah Yi sighed: "Oh... that's all, thinking or not thinking can't solve the problem, let's let nature take its course."

Ah Yi stood up, at this moment, Hong came from not far away.

"A wing?"

"Ah, it's Sister Hong."

"Ayi, why do you look so restless when I see you recently?" Hong asked with some worry.

"Ah? It's nothing. I'm just thinking about how to deal with different situations when I'm in battle... After all, I don't have the chance to actually fight, so I can only make up for it by thinking more and summarizing... That's it, sister Hong, I'm a little bit in advance gone…"

A Yi ran away in a hurry, leaving Hong standing there in doubt.

He didn't want to involve irrelevant people. Itachi had already warned him last time that if he involved irrelevant people again at this time, he might really die.

Since then, Ah Yi has been secretly observing Itachi, or carefully inquiring for news, in order to avoid danger, he always uses the shadow part #body.It's just that Itachi's whereabouts have become more elusive because of the lesson learned from A Yi's eavesdropping last time. A Yi has been searching for a long time but found almost nothing, and gradually had to stop searching.

After a long time like this, Ah Yi was already ten years old. His amazing performance during school made the teachers discuss whether it is possible for Ah Yi to graduate early.

"In my opinion, Sarutobi Tsubasa already possesses at least the strength of a Chunin. Even if he is allowed to graduate early, it is reasonable. Didn't Uchiha Itachi graduate early because of his extraordinary performance the year before last? "

"But according to Hokage-sama, now is not the time when there was an urgent need for talents after the war, so there is nothing wrong with letting him practice in school for two more years."

"But we have nothing to teach him at school, this will only waste his time..."

"Forget it, if we keep fighting like this, there will be no results. Let's mention this matter to Hokage-sama, and let him arrange it."

Therefore, several teachers reported this issue to the Third Hokage.

"It's okay for A Yi to graduate early, but a special assessment is needed to confirm whether he has sufficient qualifications."

"Special assessment? You mean..."

Kakashi, who was standing next to the Third Hokage, said: "Kakashi, it's up to you to have a duel with A Tsubasa, and according to the result of the duel, determine whether A Tsubasa will graduate early."

"Yes, I understand."

"Fight against Kakashi-senpai? Hokage-sama, although Ayi is very talented, but he is only 10 years old now, it is impossible to be Kakashi-senpai's opponent." The teachers were very surprised.

"Don't worry." Kakashi walked over to comfort the teachers, "I think Hokage-sama just wants to test his ability to deal with different situations through duels, whether he has reached the level of an excellent ninja, not to ask him Win the battle. If A Yi is really good enough, then it is logical for him to graduate early."

"Exactly." The Third Hokage nodded approvingly.

"So that's it, we understand. When is the assessment scheduled?" The teachers were relieved and continued to ask.

"Kakashi, what is your latest itinerary, and which day is free?"

"Well, let's see... I'll be free in 5 days."

"Then the duel between you and A Yi should be arranged on that day. On that day, teachers, arrange to let the students in the school go to watch the battle, and let the students witness the real duel between ninjas with their own eyes!"

"Yes!"

While they were discussing A Yi's early graduation assessment, in an unknown corner of Konoha - the secret base of the organization "Root" directly under Danzo.

"Is this day finally here?" Danzo sat on his chair and said to himself.

"Yes, Danzo-sama, the Third Hokage side, and Uchiha Itachi's side, have reached a consensus, and Uchiha Itachi will do it tonight."

"Got it, it looks like there will be a good show tonight..." Danzo showed a sinister smile.

"One more thing, that kid Sarutobi Tsubasa, hasn't he been active recently?" Danzo continued to ask.

"Yes, Itachi discovered his actions some time ago and warned him. Since then, he has rarely followed these incidents, and has basically stopped his activities recently."

"Hmph... What did Sarutobi say recently that he was specially asked to graduate early and take a test by confronting Kakashi... Are you planning to take Sarutobi under your command in such a hurry to take Itachi's place?... Or, by the way, use this assessment to distract everyone? What a good way, Sarutobi..." Danzo said, his words seemed to be slightly dismissive.

At the same time, A Yi felt a strange atmosphere that day.

"What's the matter, I always feel that something big will happen tonight... Could it be something about Brother Asma..." A Yi shook his head, "Probably not, news came a few days ago that Brother Asma was in The daimyo was very active and did a great job. So...could it be Itachi's business?"

A Yi has rarely followed Itachi recently, after all he didn't dare to do it too obviously, and he also worried that if Itachi had any ideas, would he really kill him.

But no matter how hard he thought, he couldn't come up with any results, so A Yi had to go for a walk to calm his mind, and it was like that at night.

Maybe it's a habit, maybe it's a coincidence, A Yi happened to walk to the gate of the settlement of the Uchiha clan.

But Ayi's expression was completely frozen by the blowing breath and the ubiquitous smell of blood.

"This breath is..." A Yi was shocked, and rushed in with tense nerves.

The streets are empty, no, there is no living person!There were corpses everywhere, Uchiha corpses.

Did my premonition really come true?Did he think this was what "something big happened" meant today?

"However, maybe there are still people alive, I have to save them!" Ayi's medical ninjutsu has achieved a little bit, he kept running, checking the Uchiha people who fell on the ground one by one.But without exception, they all died.

But Ah Yi did not give up, and continued to search for the breath of the living.Finally, Ah Yi felt that not far ahead, two people were still alive.

He was about to go there immediately, but he stopped immediately - unmistakably, those two people were Itachi and his younger brother Sasuke!

Ayi's body trembled involuntarily, he could feel how dangerous and terrifying the Itachi's aura is now, no matter when he clashed with the three Uchiha tribesmen before, or when he warned himself, it was far behind--the current Itachi, like Shura from hell, is unstoppable.Seeing Itachi became like this, A Yi's sense of fear became more and more intense.

"Could it be that these people... were all killed by Itachi?" A Yi swallowed, forcing himself to calm down.

But soon, he realized that there was another person around.

"In addition to Itachi and Sasuke, there seems to be another person nearby... Judging from his chakra, it is a person I have never touched, and it is very vague, looming. Who is that person?"

For safety's sake, Ah Yi hastily conjured up a shadow component#body, and asked the shadow component#body to inquire about the news, while the body retreated immediately.影分#身边 quietly walked closer, hid in a corner, concealed his aura, and observed quietly.

Itachi didn't kill Sasuke, but left after saying some strange words, Sasuke fainted on the ground exhausted physically and mentally.Ayi的影分# He was too far away from them, so he didn't hear what Itachi said clearly.

After a long time, seeing that the surroundings had returned to calm, and the other person he had noticed before had disappeared, A Yi's shadow component#body came out quietly, and checked Sasuke.

"Has Sasuke ever had an illusion before?" Ayi soon discovered that Sasuke's mental state was abnormal. Not only had he seen something extremely terrifying to him before, he had also been subjected to an illusion by Itachi, "Fortunately, the effect of the illusion has disappeared Release, it seems Itachi has no intention of doing anything to Sasuke..."

Ah Yi checked the surroundings, and the surroundings could not feel the breath of living people at all...

"Has the Uchiha clan almost been wiped out by Itachi like this? But why did he keep Sasuke? And who is 'that person'?" Although he felt suspicious, A Yi didn't have time to think too much. Take the unconscious Sasuke away from here first...
