?Stayed there for a long time, until the store owner patted her on the shoulder, "Little girl, do you want to buy it or not?"

"Hold, I'm sorry!" Eri suddenly realized that she could no longer care about grocery shopping, and ran to the residence of the Uchiha clan.

If Shisui committed suicide, Eri couldn't imagine what would happen to Itachi as his best friend.

Stepping into the gate with the Uchiha Clan Emblem, Eri only took a few steps, and felt a lot of eyes from the street gathered on her, not the kind warm eyes with kindness when she used to live here, but It was a feeling full of defense and rejection, like questioning why she was here, making it difficult for her to move an inch.

The few people standing at the entrance of the alley looked at her with frowns, then covered their mouths and talked to the people around them. The oppressive atmosphere made Eri feel a little uncomfortable, so she could only lower her head and hurried to Itachi's house.

Walking to Itachi's door, Eri inadvertently saw a kunai deeply inserted into the center of the Uchiha clan emblem on the opposite wall, and several cracks spread around the kunai.

Suppressing the weird uneasiness in her heart, Eri knocked lightly on Itachi's door, and to her surprise, it was Sasuke who opened the door.

Sasuke's complexion didn't look too good either, his brows were tightly frowned, he looked up at her, then lowered his head and turned sideways, "...come in."

"...Where's Aunt Mikoto?" Eri asked softly.

"Mom...is over there in brother's room." Sasuke bit his lower lip, his lips turned pale, and then pulled Eri's clothes, "Well, sister, I think brother is a bit strange..."

"I, I don't know the reason..." Eri stammered the answer. After thinking about it carefully, she knew nothing about Itachi's affairs. She always only thought about her own affairs. When she met Itachi, she always Itachi was comforting her who was frustrated. Itachi's state was already not right when they met several times, but she didn't care...

Friends obviously should support each other and take care of each other, but she has been enjoying Itachi's kindness to her with peace of mind. Not only can she not help him, but also cause him trouble.

She is really bad.

Mikoto, who came out of the corridor, saw Eri standing in the house, showing a somewhat surprised expression, then seemed to remember something and took her hand and walked to the corridor, "Eri, it's just in time, please do me a favor. "

Standing in front of the familiar Itachi's room door, Eri silently looked at the food on the floor and the closed door, and turned to Mikoto, "How long has he been like this?"

"It's been a long time..." Meiqin lowered her eyes to look at the steamy food on the floor, and sighed slightly, "I don't want to eat with us, and I will lock myself in the room when I get home, I'm very worried."

But even if she came, it felt like Itachi wouldn't want to see her. Shisui's suicide must have dealt a heavy blow to him.

Sighing, Eri knelt in front of the door and knocked lightly, "Itachi?"

The room was silent, Eri turned her head and looked at Mikoto helplessly, Mikoto gestured for her to continue, so she gritted her teeth and continued to knock on the door, "I'm Eri, Itachi?"

Listening to the movement in the house with her head tilted, Eri knocked on the door intermittently, "If you have any troubles, you can discuss it with us, you will be suffocated if you keep it alone..."

With a sound of "wow", the door was suddenly pulled open, Eri was taken aback for a moment, before she could react, she was pulled into the room by a hand, and then the door was instantly closed again.

Everything happened so fast, it took several seconds for Meiqin who was kneeling beside her to let out an "Ah" in surprise, blinked her eyes, and showed a faint smile on her face.

Eri, who was caught off guard and pulled into the room, fell into Itachi's arms in embarrassment, and was hugged tightly by him, struggling to climb Itachi's shoulders, Eri moved her position with some difficulty, and asked cautiously, " Um... can I change my position, I can't breathe like this..."

Itachi stiffened for a moment, slowly let go of her, and then sat against the wall expressionlessly, staring at the ground silently with lowered eyes.

Following his line of sight, Eri saw a piece of paper spread out on the ground, written very clearly in black and white.

I don’t want to do any more missions anymore, and the Uchiha clan has no future at all if this continues, and I am the same, I can’t deviate from the “road” anymore.

The signature was not signed, but Eri realized instantly that this was probably Shisui's suicide note.

Staring blankly at the piece of paper, Eri frowned a little puzzled, what does it mean to have no future?What does it mean to be off the road?The Uchiha clan...what the hell happened?

"It seems that you already know about Zhishui."

Eri was surprised by what Itachi said so abruptly, she nodded nervously at Itachi, "Why would Brother Shisui...commit suicide?"

It was a bit difficult to say the word suicide. To be honest, she didn't think Shisui seemed like a person who would commit suicide at all. He always looked happy and optimistic. It seemed more like something happened inside Uchiha that made him Had to choose death.

"..." Itachi remained silent and didn't answer, just stared at the suicide note with his head down.

"I will inherit Shisui's legacy."

Itachi, who had been silent for a while, finally spoke, but the content made Eri a little nervous, "You said... a will?"

Itachi won't commit suicide along with him!

"..." Itachi looked up at her, then waved, "Come here."

Although Eri was puzzled, she leaned over honestly, "What's wrong?"

Itachi didn't respond, but stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms after she approached, then hugged her tightly, Eri was a little bit at a loss for a moment, then hugged him back, and slowly hugged her on his back. She patted on him trying to comfort him.

"Sorry." Eri heard Itachi whispering in her ear, just about to ask him why he apologized, but was suddenly hit on the neck, the intense pain made Eri's eyes go dark, and her body suddenly went limp, Already fainted in Itachi's arms.

"I'm sorry..." Holding the unconscious Eri, Itachi's hands tightened, and he repeated in a low voice, "I'm sorry..."

"If you wanted to say sorry, why did you do this to her?" Eri, who had already fainted, raised her head from Itachi's arms, then slowly pushed him away and stood up, looking down at him, her red eyes reflecting light It's the flame dancing, "I don't know what's going on, but you're ready for something, aren't you?"

"...Youxia." Itachi looked up at her, then looked away, "Since you have appeared, I don't need to send Eri back, you can go."

"Don't avoid the topic!" Youxia frowned and pulled Itachi's collar closer, "You want to leave, right?"

Itachi's expression tightened, and he looked down at Youxia, "What do you know?"

"What Eri knows is what I know," Youxia clenched her fists, "And I know, she doesn't want you to go."

"Don't guess," Itachi looked at her coldly, "You don't understand anything."

"I really don't know anything, but I also know that once you take action, it will be irreversible. Do you want to be an enemy of Eri?"

"...That is also, there is no way." Itachi lowered his head, "Sorry, I have already decided."

"...Really, it seems that I can't convince you anymore." You Xia slowly knelt down in front of him, "Even if I want to stop you by force, there is not enough time."

"Thank you." Itachi's black eyes had turned red, and the three-wheeled jade was slowly turning in it.

"..." Youxia looked at Itachi silently, and then sighed, "It seems that I can't help that child anymore, I just hope that when you see her in the future, don't hurt her."

Itachi looked at her blankly, and nodded slightly after a long time. Seeing Youxia closing her eyes helplessly, Itachi stretched out his hand out of habit to catch Eri's comatose body.

When rushing to her house with Eri in his arms, Itachi keenly sensed the aura of pursuit behind him. It seemed that Danzo didn't trust him, and placed someone beside him to watch him.

Speeding up and making a big turn, Itachi confirmed that he could no longer feel the breath of those behind him, and then came to the window of Eri's room with a sigh of relief, opened the window and jumped in.

After putting Eri on the bed, Itachi frowned and looked at Eri's room. This was his first visit, but it was also the last time.Her room was ungirly, very minimal, and very clean and tidy.

His eyes fell on the small table next to the bed, and Itachi picked up the photo frame on it, which looked like a photo of Eri and her father together, the girl in the photo was riding on her father's neck, smiling very happily.

Swiping his finger across the face of the little girl in the photo, Itachi slightly raised the corners of his mouth, then put the photo frame back to its original position, and shifted his gaze to Eri on the bed.

Itachi watched her quietly, stretched out his hand carefully to brush the hair on her forehead, and then gently stroked her face, murmuring, "Eri..."

Eri's eyebrows frowned slightly, and she moved around uneasy as if she was having a nightmare. Itachi was stunned, and poked her cheek involuntarily, seeing the girl waved his hand away impatiently. , A faint smile appeared in his eyes, and then quickly disappeared.

Withdrawing his hand without hesitation, Itachi glanced out of the window expressionlessly, and his figure disappeared from the room in an instant.

It was already night when Eri opened her eyes, and Naruto called her vigorously by the bed, "Sister, wake up!"

Sitting up from the bed in a daze, Eri felt a little pain in her neck, and couldn't help stretching out her hand to touch it, "Naruto, what time is it?"

"It's already nine o'clock." Naruto rubbed his stomach, "Sister, I'm starving."

"..." Eri got out of bed in a daze, "Did Itachi send me back?"

"I don't know, my sister was already in bed when I got home."

She seemed to vaguely remember that she was knocked out by Itachi.

...An illusion, how could Itachi hit her?Eri touched the back of her neck which was a little sore again, but it seemed that she was really knocked out by Itachi. ?
