“Mom?”
The black pupils reflecting Zhu Yue blinked, and Uchiha Izumi gradually regained her composure.
Oh, that’s right.
This book was first published on 69 Book Bar→69𝘴𝘩𝘶𝘹.𝘯𝘦𝘵, providing you with a reading experience with no wrong chapters and no disordered chapters.
She is now at home, and she is going to have dinner with her mother.
And…
Sniff~sniff~
As if she smelled the fragrance, Uchiha Izumi’s nose wrinkled.
Mother made her favorite three-color meatballs!
“Come on, Mom!”
A hint of joy flashed in her eyes, and her tone carried the unique coquettish flavor of a girl facing her mother.
She immediately stood up and walked into the house, and her long black hair swung with it.
Click~
The door slowly closed.
Looking into the house from the courtyard, only two faint shadows could be seen intertwined.
“Izumi, come on! Why are you wearing so little outside again? What if you get sick!”
“Mom~ I’m a ninja, not a child anymore!”
Uchiha Izumi’s voice came from the house with a bit of helplessness, but a faint smile could be heard in his tone.
After a while, Izumi and his mother sat cross-legged facing each other in front of a table full of food.
“I’m going to eat.”
They closed their eyes together, lowered their heads, and put their hands together.
Izumi opened his eyes and looked at the food on the table with a hint of greed on his face.
But when he raised his head, he accidentally met his mother’s eyes.
“Huh?”
Izumi’s eyes trembled, and an inexplicable sense of disharmony suddenly rose in his heart.
The heat of the food slowly rose, seeming to cover everything in front of him, and the face of the mother opposite him looked a little distorted.
But when she blinked and looked carefully.
The mother’s face was still kind and gentle, and there was no change from beginning to end.
“What’s wrong, Quan?”
The mother touched her face and asked in confusion: “Why do you look at me like this? Is there something on my face?”
Uchiha Quan shook his head blankly.
After coming to his senses, he held his forehead and smiled reluctantly.
“Nothing, maybe I’m too tired during this period.”
I always feel that I have forgotten something important, but I really can’t remember it.
“I’m tired.”
The mother habitually nags: “I’ve said it many times, even if you become a ninja, you have to take care of your body.”
“Look at the eldest son of the clan leader’s family. He may not come home once a week.”
She sighed with emotion: “If there is no younger son to accompany him, even the clan leader will definitely be lonely.”
After all, if they lose the identity of the clan leader and the clan leader’s wife, they will only be the parents of two children.
“I know, I know.”
Uchiha Quan shook his head, forced to get rid of the complex emotions in his head, and said in a gentle tone: “Let’s eat first.”
After that, he picked up the bowl and chopsticks and ate heartily.
Ever since her father, who was a ninja and had no Uchiha bloodline, died in the Nine-Tails Rebellion.
She and her mother have been dependent on each other, and they are each other’s only support.
Now this inexplicable appearance will only make her mother more worried.
Even if she really forgot something, she would have to wait until tomorrow to recall it.
“Well! Good times!”
While eating, Quan did not forget to say: “Mom’s cooking skills are still so good!”
“I feel so sad when I think that I can’t eat the food made by mom for the next week.”
And looking at Quan who is no different from before.
The mother breathed a sigh of relief, gradually put her mind at ease, and a gentle smile appeared on her face again.
She is just an ordinary person with Uchiha bloodline.
She can’t understand what the ninjas in the clan are discussing.
But she doesn’t care at all.
As long as Quan can live a peaceful life, this is her greatest wish in this life.
Unfortunately, Quan, as a ninja, has become the backbone of this small family.
It is inevitable to go out of the village to perform tasks to earn enough money to support the lives of the two.
“Ah~”
When she thought of Izumi going out of the village for a week to carry out a mission, her mother couldn’t help but sigh: “It would be better if you weren’t a ninja.”
No.
“It would be better if our family were all civilians.”
In that case, Izumi’s father wouldn’t have died.
Izumi could be an ordinary girl.
Have a happy family, a carefree childhood, and some friendly and kind friends.
No need to become a ninja to support the family, no need to bleed to survive, and no need to bear the lives of people for the mission.
Even, there is no need to bear the name of Uchiha…
“Hmm?”
Uchiha Izumi’s mouth was filled with two balls.
Until he heard his mother’s words.
Izumi’s movements paused, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes.
However, this was only a moment.
She came back to her senses, swallowed the balls with a “gulp”, and asked blankly: “What’s wrong, mom?”
Looking at Izumi’s face, the mother swallowed the words in her mouth.
“Yeah~ It’s okay.”
She smiled faintly and shook her head, and put a piece of eel into Quan’s bowl with chopsticks: “Don’t just eat the meatballs, try other dishes too.”
“Got it!”
Uchiha Quan smiled at his mother and responded casually.
Then she lowered her head and used chopsticks to stir the food in the bowl.
The black hair on her forehead obscured her face, and her expression was also complicated under the shadow.
How could she, as a daughter, not know her mother’s thoughts?
But isn’t this the fate of being an Uchiha ninja and a Konoha ninja?
“Heh.”
Uchiha Izumi grinned and smiled silently.
Yes, Konoha ninjas can say it with confidence.
Whether it is killing ninjas or civilians from the enemy country, or killing the target person who implies the mission.
It’s all to complete the village’s mission, to protect their own village and family.
If you don’t kill the enemy, you will be killed by the enemy.
So, no one will be killed willingly.
But in this way.
Ninjas are just tools to complete tasks and earn commissions.
Maybe the target of the assassination is a small rich man who is kind to civilians.
But he has touched the interests of other rich people.
As long as other wealthy people use a high-sounding reason to issue an assassination mission in Konoha, the generous bounty is enough to attract the ninja and then take on the assassination mission.
So it doesn’t matter whether the target of those missions is evil or good.
Compared with those wandering ninjas and bandits, Konoha ninjas are no different.
Who is more noble than who?
“It would be great if everything was just as my mother thought.”
Izumi couldn’t help but have this thought in her mind.
Unfortunately, it was just a fantasy in the end.
She didn’t have the power to change the status quo, so naturally she couldn’t stay out of it.
Even when facing someone she loved, she didn’t have the courage to express her feelings.
Just when Izumi’s thoughts were a little confused.
Dong! Dongdong!
A crisp knock on the door suddenly sounded, breaking the peace and tranquility of the night.
“Huh?”
Izumi’s mother was slightly stunned, and asked with a puzzled expression: “It’s so late, why is there still someone knocking on the door?”
And the knock on the door also interrupted Uchiha Izumi’s thoughts.
But for some reason, she couldn’t help but tremble in her heart, and her breathing couldn’t help but stagnate.
But before she could react.
“I’ll go and take a look. I don’t know who came so late.”
Quan’s mother stood up, kept muttering, and walked towards the door of the entrance.
Click!
She opened the door without any preparation and looked outside with some doubt.
“Excuse me, you…”
She just opened the door, but only saw a pair of scarlet eyes.
After a moment of staring at each other.
The expression on her face froze instantly.
Plop! !
Hearing this sound.
Uchiha Quan, whose body was frozen, came back to his senses, and his heart suddenly began to beat rapidly.
Boom!
“Why?”
Boom!
“Why am I afraid?”
Boom! Boom! !
“Mom!!”
Quan’s eyes widened instantly, and his bloodshot eyes turned scarlet, and the shape of three magatama appeared.
Then the figure disappeared from the spot and appeared directly at the entrance.
“You! You are…”
It was not until he saw that cold and familiar face that Uchiha Izumi’s ferocious expression suddenly froze.
There was a figure with long hair, tear grooves, and wearing Anbu clothes standing there.
“… Itachi-kun?”
His face was extremely cold, his clothes were stained with blood, and he was holding a bloody short knife in his hand.
And Izumi’s mother was lying at his feet, obviously in a coma.
“Itachi-kun, why? You…”
Looking at that familiar and cold face, Uchiha Izumi’s body couldn’t help but tremble slightly,
but her words hadn’t been completely spoken.
The scarlet light in Uchiha Itachi’s Sharingan became even more ferocious in the dark.
The three magatama suddenly began to rotate, and seemed to gradually enlarge in front of Izumi.
Finally, it completely turned into the shape of three cross-connected blades.
“Tsukuyomi!!”
Uchiha Izumi and Uchiha Itachi looked at each other.
As if realizing something, Izumi’s expression and eyes suddenly became ferocious.
“No! Why!?”
“Why, Itachi-kun?!”
Izumi’s eyes trembled slightly, and he glanced at his mother.
Uchiha Itachi also looked at Izumi’s mother, who was lying at his feet and trapped in the illusion.
Then he took a deep breath and raised the ninja sword in his hand high.
No! No!
Mom!!
Watching this scene, Uchiha Izumi’s eyes were bloodshot, and she tried her best to break free.
But with her three magatama, she could not resist the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan.
Uchiha Izumi watched the butcher knife in Itachi’s hand fall straight towards his mother’s heart with a sound of breaking wind.
Puff!
The moment the blood splashed out.
Uchiha Izumi’s eyes and expression also fell into a sluggish state.
Looking like a puppet being controlled by someone.
………………
I don’t know how long it took.
In a trance, Uchiha Izumi’s consciousness returned again.
Bang!!
Quan suddenly opened her eyes, and the three magatama in her eyes looked particularly charming under the candlelight.
“Mom!!”
She stood up subconsciously and shouted with fear on her face.
But when she saw the scene in front of her, her body couldn’t help but freeze in place.
“…Mom?”
She saw that her mother, who had been killed by Itachi, was now sitting in front of her intact.
The dining table full of food had been overturned by her, and the sumptuous dishes were scattered on the floor and on her mother’s body.
“spring?!”
The mother, who looked stunned and clasped her hands together, also came to her senses.
Looking at the mess, the word “well” popped up on his forehead.
She suppressed the anger in her heart and gritted her teeth: “Quan, what are you doing?!”
You were fine just now, why did you suddenly scream out of nowhere?
“I……”
Uchiha Izumi gradually regained his senses, and was a little confused for a while.
What’s happening here?
Mother, wasn’t it already killed by Uchiha Itachi?
So now this is…
“untie!!”
Quan blinked and formed seals with his hands, trying to break away from the illusion.
“…”
But after waiting for a while, everything in front of him still remained unchanged.
She formed the seal again in disbelief: “Unsolved! Unsolved!!”
But these actions have no effect.
It just made the originally angry mother worried and confused.
“spring?”
Mother frowned and said cautiously: “What’s wrong with you?”
Uchiha Izumi shook his head subconsciously and said, “No, it’s okay.”
After all, he seemed to feel that his words were not convincing.
She gave her mother another forced smile.
“It’s really okay. Maybe I was too tired during this period, so my nerves are a little sensitive.”
The mother looked at the spring up and down doubtfully.
Seeing that there was nothing unusual about her body, I reluctantly believed her story.
“I’m tired.”
The mother’s frown relaxed slightly, and she started nagging again: “I’ve told you many times that even if you become a ninja, you still have to take care of your body.”
Originally it was just a common sentence.
But when he heard it in Uchiha Izumi’s ears, it was like a thunder exploding in his heart.
“Oh, it’s really…”
The mother wiped the food on her body and sighed helplessly: “I’ll make another meal.”
After that, he got up and walked towards the kitchen.
But at this moment.
“Wait, wait a minute!”
Uchiha Izumi tried his best to suppress the fear in his heart, but his voice still couldn’t stop trembling.
“Mother!”
She smiled palely at her mother, and then said calmly: “I suddenly remembered something, please wait a moment.”
After he finished speaking, he didn’t wait for his mother to say anything.
Quan’s figure disappeared instantly and appeared directly in front of the entrance door.
She wanted to slide the door open, but suddenly paused.
That ordinary door, which she had long been tired of looking at, now seemed to her to be holding something terrifying.
“Is that an illusion, a genjutsu, or something else?”
Or is that actually the future?
“Quan? What are you doing?”
Her mother’s voice came from behind, interrupting Izumi Uchiha’s complicated thoughts, and letting a trace of determination flash in her eyes.
Just listen to a “click” sound.
The door was opened directly by her.
It was just when Izumi subconsciously put on a defensive posture and looked outside with the three Magatama Sharingan.
“this……”
The full moon above the head still gave off a faint red light, and there was only tranquility and peace outside.
call!
Uchiha Izumi let out the breath that was held in his throat and glanced outside.
But still no abnormalities were found.
“Is it really because I’m too tired that I’m hallucinating?”
Although I can’t believe it, there doesn’t seem to be any other explanation.
“spring?”
Her mother behind her also walked up to her and asked with a worried look on her face: “What’s wrong with you?”
The way Quan was startled now made her very worried about Quan’s current mental state.
“It’s nothing. Don’t worry, mom. You can go cook first.”
Uchiha Izumi breathed a sigh of relief and turned to his mother with a heartfelt smile.
“I’m going out for a walk and will be back soon.”
