Chapter 207 is coming.
"Father, Mother, I'm full. I'll go back to my room now." Itachi put down his chopsticks, bowed, and turned to leave.
Itachi has changed a lot recently, and his parents have noticed it all, but they dare not ask too many questions, for fear of accidentally saying something wrong.
The death of Uchiha Yo was a huge blow to him.
Although this kind of thing is nothing in the ninja world, Itachi is their child, how could they not feel heartache?
Uchiha Yoh was also a child they watched grow up, and they were very sad, but people have to move on and not dwell on the past.
As for Sasuke, ever since he entered the Ninja Academy, he comes home very late every day, and I don't know what he's busy with. "He's really a worry for me!"
Only when you become a parent do you realize how difficult it is to be one.
Itachi returned to his room and sat down at his desk, eagerly opening the envelope.
"I'm sorry, I suddenly received news about my sister and couldn't wait to confirm it, which is why it took me so long to reply to you!"
But it was all for naught.
I encountered something quite interesting along the way.
......"
Itachi read the letter several times before finally putting it away.
He pondered at his desk for a while before finally picking up his pen.
This time, instead of writing just one sentence like before, he shared some things that happened in his life.
The task itself cannot be mentioned; that's common sense.
On the island, the grueling training officially began.
Ye Li transforms into a ruthless mentor during the day and a gentle older brother at night.
The training was tough and tiring, but the children didn't complain at all. Their older brother would stay with them, and they loved this kind of life.
Taijutsu is a compulsory course for all children, but she teaches ninjutsu separately, since the chakra attributes are different.
In her spare time, she would also practice new ninjutsu to increase her ninjutsu points.
Ye Li hadn't cultivated so diligently in a long time, and he quite missed it.
"Go see if Itachi has replied."
Ye Li lay on the bed and disappeared in the next second, and as expected, he received a letter.
Back on the island, she opened the envelope and laughed, "You learned pretty quickly."
Although it only contained very ordinary daily stories, Ye Li read it with great interest.
It seems that Itachi has already accepted her as a friend he has only met twice.
I guess we're pen pals now!
She wrote her reply before going back to bed.
Time flies, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye. The construction of the 'Hermit Village' has reached its final stage.
Today is a day off, and Ye Li brought everyone here to see their future new home.
"So beautiful!" Karin exclaimed.
The others were also stunned by the building before them.
Ye Li was very satisfied with this, "This money was well spent!"
Although the exterior of the house is made of wood, the interior is equipped with the world's most advanced modern equipment.
Being a ninja is hard enough; she doesn't want to suffer like that when she gets home.
The wooden house is designed to fit the theme of 'Forest Garden'.
As a 'hermit village', it naturally has to be a bit mysterious.
During this period, she received sixteen letters from Itachi, and they communicated quite frequently.
That day, Itachi arrived at the training ground where he and Shisui often practiced, just like he always did.
He was in a bad mood after not receiving any letters from Li for ten consecutive days.
Upon hearing that Shisui wanted to have a contest, he readily agreed.
As they fought, the two of them suddenly got angry and both activated their Mangekyou Sharingan. After realizing what was happening, they quickly stopped.
"Itachi, your eyes!" Shisui's eyes flashed with surprise, then he spoke again, "Itachi, you haven't activated your Sharingan since the day Ye's accident, have you?"
Itachi nodded, somewhat puzzled.
"No wonder you didn't notice the changes in your eyes."
"So Ye knew everything!"
Shisui sighed and continued, "Itachi, I think your eyes now are very likely Yoh's."
"Shisui-kun, you must be joking." Itachi looked incredulous. "Ye Mingming hasn't even activated his Sharingan yet."
“Itachi, from what Ye left behind, you should know that she is more powerful than I imagined.”
"Your teacher is Orochimaru, so perhaps he should know something."
Although he didn't want to mention Ye, he had seen Itachi's changes during this time. It had finally come out of this, and he didn't want Itachi to go back to that dejected state. But some things always have to be faced.
"I'll go ask the teacher right now!"
Itachi stumbled and staggered as he arrived at Orochimaru's residence.
Shisui finally understood why Hualing had suddenly gone blind; it turned out to be this reason.
The Flower Spirit might be a part of the Leaf, and he didn't want to tell Itachi. Besides a little selfishness in his heart, the Flower Spirit also had no memories of Konoha Village, so it was better not to know.
Although I don't quite understand why I have memories of him, it's most likely because we spent too much time together.
He hadn't seen Hua Ling for a long time, and he missed her terribly. Had Hua Ling already forgotten him?
Zhi Shui took out the knife that Hua Ling had given him, a bitter smile appearing on his lips.
"Sister Hongdou, is the teacher here?"
Red Bean shook her head. "Orochimaru-sensei left Konoha a long time ago."
"However, he anticipated that you would come looking for him, so he left this letter for you."
"By the way, how have you been lately?" Hongdou still couldn't believe Ye's death, and Itachi must be in even more pain. As her older sister, she couldn't show it.
"That's fine, Sister Anko, I'll head back now." Itachi tried to keep his tone light as he replied, then staggered away.
When he got home, he locked himself in his room and opened the letter with slightly trembling hands.
"Itachi, by the time you read this letter, I think I will already be gone."
Don't be sad, it was all my own choice.
Forgive me for lying to you. Actually, I had already awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan. Its ability is to see some things in the future, so through my efforts, I changed many things.
I've been using my eyes too much, and I'm starting to lose my sight.
I can see the future. I know a lot about the development of the Sharingan. I don't want you to become blind like me, so I used the genes in your blood to cultivate my Mangekyou Sharingan into eyes connected to your bloodline. However, I also lost the ability to see the future.
I was very satisfied with the result. Seeing the future was an incredibly powerful ability. Later, I discovered that it not only consumed my eye power but also my life force.
"Itachi, use my eyes to protect my clan, protect Konoha, and most importantly, protect myself."
So this is the truth?
He finally understood why Ye chose to self-destruct; he could have survived.
She must have known she was about to die, which is why she did this.
"Why? He didn't find anything. Why..." Itachi hated himself terribly at this moment. "If I could choose, I would only want to protect you, Ye."
Itachi locked himself in his room for three days before coming out.
Actually, he still couldn't believe that Ye would leave like this. When he saw the letter on the table, he thought of the word 'separation'.
Apart from those eyes, every part of 'Li' was filled with the shadow of leaves.
It turns out she had given him her eyes, which is why he didn't recognize her.
Everything has to be done slowly, otherwise he's afraid Ye will run away again.
Mikoto saw Itachi walk out of the room and her face was full of concern. "Itachi, are you alright?"
"Mother, I'm fine."
"It's alright, it's alright. I'll go make you something you like to eat."
Mikoto wiped away her tears and walked towards the kitchen.
When Fugaku returned home, he saw Itachi already waiting at the dining table, presumably having already come out.
Sasuke returned home shortly after, his face beaming with delight. "Onii-chan, you have a day off tomorrow, can you train with me for a day?"
"it is good."
Sasuke thought he would be rejected, but his brother actually agreed, and his joy was evident on his face.
"Ye, I will listen to you and protect everything before me. And wait for me."
Shisui was happy to see Itachi return to normal.
