Chapter 16 The Night of Tragedy
Chapter 16 The Night of Tragedy
When Itachi, who hadn't seen him for a long time, came again to bring rice balls for his lovely brother, Sakai knew that the Uchiha clan was about to be wiped out.
"Thank you, Mr. Sakai." Itachi put down the money for rice balls in a paper box on the front desk.
Sakai is often too busy alone, and it is obviously unhygienic to touch the coins in the middle of cooking, so he made a box, most of the time everyone can put the money down by themselves, and collect the money in the box when Sakai is empty That's fine.Konoha is a place with simple folk customs, and even if there is a robbery, no one will go to a shop full of ninjas to steal money, so Sakai never worries about safety.
Sakai, who was making onigiri, glanced at it habitually, but found that Itachi put down more money than the price of a wooden fish onigiri. It can be said that with this money, it would be no problem to eat a few big meals in his shop.
The movements of his hands paused, obviously Itachi would not make such a mistake no matter how disturbed he was, "Master Itachi?"
Itachi didn't say anything, just quietly ate the three-color balls bought from next door, chewing carefully, his black eyes were as quiet as a pool of water.
"I see, Master Sasuke is a lovely child." Sakai lowered his head, and each rice ball was formed in his hands.
Itachi stopped holding the stick and looked at him suddenly.That's right, Itachi left the extra money in the hope that Sakai would take care of Sasuke in the future, but Sakai should not realize this until Sasuke is the only one left in Uchiha. How could he understand what he meant now? !
Sakai put the pinched rice balls on fresh rice dumpling leaves, wrapped them in a bag and handed them to Itachi, "It's finished, Master Itachi."
Itachi slowly reached out to take it, but looked at Sakai imperceptibly.
No matter how he looked at it, Sakai was the ordinary retired ninja in his impression.
Is it a coincidence?
There are still doubts in his heart.
Itachi secretly suppressed his doubts, no matter what mysteries this person has, since he can get close to Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, there should be no problem.
Itachi picked up the bag and was about to leave, just in time to see Kakashi walking in, stepped sideways out of the way, and nodded to Kakashi, "Good day, Kakashi-senpai."
"It's Itachi, I'm here to buy something for my brother again." Kakashi also raised his hand to say hello to Itachi, since the last time he said goodbye to the Uchiha clan, he hadn't seen Itachi again, the Uchiha clan He hasn't forgotten the weird atmosphere, and he always feels that something will happen...
"Well. Then Kakashi-senpai, I will go ahead."
"Ah, see you later."
Kakashi watched Itachi's leaving back, and continued walking to his usual seat after a while.
"What's the matter, do you feel that your team members have grown too fast?" Sakai asked with a slight smile.
"It's really fast..." At the age of 13, he became the captain of the dark department.But what makes Kakashi feel strange is that there are usually merits or assessments before promotion, but Itachi has not experienced this, and the promotion is very abrupt.
Anbe who leads Danzo-sama...
Kakashi was sure there must be some political reason for it.
"Don't wander around recently." Kakashi could sense that the atmosphere between the Uchiha clan and the village was becoming more and more strange, and what was even more strange was that many Anbu had entered a standby state, and no longer dispatched any long-term missions out of the village.
It seems that Uchiha and the village are about to have some conflict.
Kakashi had this premonition.
Sakai agreed, but glanced at the calendar on the wall.
The day after tomorrow is the full moon...
He seemed to be able to smell the strong smell of blood, and he clearly understood that a great tragedy would happen next, but he couldn't do anything about it.
Fortunately, it's not like he can't save everyone, as long as he has that scroll, the three generations of adults will definitely survive the Chunin exam!
The bright prospect suppressed the sorrow in his heart and brought him a little comfort.
full moon night.
Except that there were a little less people than usual in the izakaya, it was still as lively.
At ten o'clock, Sakai sent out a few drunken customers, but they didn't return to the store soon.
The full moon in the sky was shining brightly, and the night wind was blowing slowly, and there seemed to be a bit of blood in the wind.
Dozens of black shadows sprang out from the direction of Hokage, and under the light of the full moon, Sakai even saw the silver-white hair of one of them.
The extermination of the genocide is over. Under the order of the third generation, Anbu went to Uchiha to search for survivors, and at the same time collected the corpses of the deceased Uchiha people.
In the dark, the entire Konoha was under martial law. Even if they didn't know anything, the pedestrians on the road consciously quickened their pace.
How could he still be able to sleep tonight?
Sakai gave a wry smile, went back to the shop and took a bottle of sake and three cups, ignored Kakashi's instructions, and walked towards the cemetery.
Probably because of the bright moonlight, although the cemetery is quiet and makes people feel panic, it doesn't have a gloomy feeling, which is obviously not the atmosphere of a ghost story.
Sakai walked past rows of tombstones, but stopped in front of Lin's tombstone.
With the help of moonlight, he, who has always had outstanding observation skills, saw a piece of soil that was not the same color as the surrounding ones. It seemed to be dripping with water, or...stained with wet blood.
"Heh." Sakai sneered, took out a seashell from his pocket, and buried it beside Lin's tombstone with ease, without revealing it at all.
Even Obito with space ability will not frequently provoke Konoha's enchantment. In fact, except for recently, Obito has only been here in the first few years, and has not left any flaws like shells.
After doing all this, he walked naturally between the tombstones of his parents as if he had never stopped, sat on the ground, divided three glasses, and filled them all with wine.
Accompanied by the cool night breeze, he drank the wine in silence one gulp at a time. Finally, he poured the wine in front of his parents' grave on the ground, sat quietly for a long time, found the graves of Minakaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina, and did the same thing. Actions.
When the moon began to sink in the sky, and the cold wind that penetrated his collar made him shiver, Sakai left the cemetery.
A few hours after he left, at dawn, Kakashi, who had been busy all night in Anbu because of the Uchiha extermination, did not go home after the dissolution, but also chose to come to the cemetery.
He came to tell his best friend Obito Uchiha what happened last night, and he also came to visit the teacher who also died on the night of the full moon.
Kakashi saw the wine poured on the ground in front of the tombstones of Minato-sensei and Mrs. Kushina, and a figure suddenly appeared in his mind. Looking at the tombstones of the Sakai couple, it was indeed the same situation.
The wet soil directly revealed the time of Sakai's arrival, and Kakashi was a little worried.
Such a serious incident happened to Uchiha last night. To be honest, Kakashi did not believe that Itachi could slaughter the whole family by himself. Obviously there were other companions, and on such a dangerous night, Sakai came out alone. .
Kakashi was about to rush back to check the situation, but found something unusual in front of Lin's tombstone.
The first thing he noticed was the soil that seemed to have been turned over. It had rained a few days ago, but it was sunny these days, so the soil on the surface was very dry, but the soil underneath was half-dry and half-wet, being turned over. It is easy to notice something is wrong.
Kakashi immediately thought of the shells that had been buried next to Lin's tombstone.
Then there was a small piece of blood-stained dirt that he didn't realize until he walked in.
As a ninja, Kakashi was very familiar with the blood-stained soil, and he confirmed at a glance that it was not water or wine, but blood.
Feeling tense, Kakashi had no time to think about anything else, performed a teleportation technique and hurried away without even having time to say hello to Lin.
In the cemetery that Sakai visited last night, he found blood in front of Lin's tombstone. How could Kakashi not be worried?
Kakashi couldn't help guessing that Sakai met those dangerous people last night and was injured.
He rushed into Sakai's house and directly woke up Sakai who had just fallen asleep for a few hours.
"Kakashi?" Sakai yawned, blinking his eyes to make his vision clearer, "What's wrong?"
Kakashi lifted his quilt, and his right eye, which was obviously not Sharingan, inspected his body as if it had opened the eye of insight.
"Ah--" Sakai, who had a slight cold last night, sneezed, and looked at Kakashi suspiciously.
Kakashi calmed down after glancing around for a while, "Are you not injured?"
"Injured?" Sakai also looked down in confusion, "How could I be injured? Are you having a nightmare?"
Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief, "Why did you go to the cemetery last night? Didn't I tell you not to wander around these few days?"
"Yesterday was the full moon... After I closed the store, I always felt that something was wrong, and I couldn't sleep, so I went to the cemetery to visit my parents and Master Minato." After Sakai explained, he seemed to have guessed Kakashi's reaction, Frowning, he asked, "What happened in the cemetery that made you think I was hurt? Was anyone hurt there last night?"
"No, it's just that I saw a little blood in front of Lin's tombstone." Kakashi sat down at the foot of Sakai's bed, pressed his temples to sort out his thoughts, "The Uchiha was wiped out last night, I saw blood and wine Thought something happened to you too."
"I'm fine..." Sakai showed a shocked look on his face, "You just said... Uchiha exterminated the clan? Exterminated the clan?!"
"Ah, except Uchiha Sasuke, all are dead."
"How come, such a big family... Has no one found Anbu? Isn't Uchiha on duty in the security team? Where are the ninjas that Uchiha went out?" Sakai asked one question after another, seemingly responding to the Uchiha extermination Things are unbelievable.
"By the time Anbu found out, it was too late. Uchiha seems to have been active these days. The ninjas who went out were called back a few days ago, and the guards were all dead."
Sakai was stunned for a while before digesting the big news, "Then... who is the murderer? Who can kill the Uchiha clan? That's the Uchiha..."
"The murderer is Uchiha Itachi, who defected last night and was listed as an S-rank rebel."
Sakai couldn't believe it even more, "Master Itachi? How is it possible? Don't say he's only 13 years old, no matter how powerful he is, he can't kill the whole family by himself. Are so many sharing eyes just for show? And Itachi The young master has always been a gentle person, and it is absolutely impossible for him to do such a thing."
Kakashi knows that he usually admires Itachi Uchiha, and he can understand his feelings, "Even I don't know what Itachi is thinking... It seems that there are Itachi's companions who exterminated the genocide. I don't know who it is, you Be careful these few days, maybe they still have someone staying in Konoha."
It took Sakai a while to accept the whole news, he nodded, "I see, I will notify you if there is any suspicious person."
After confirming that Sakai was fine, Kakashi thought of the little bloodstain and the overturned soil again. He always had a feeling that this seemed to be related to the Uchiha extermination, because the only and biggest murder that happened last night was Uchiha Genocide.
But why did bloodstains remain in front of Lin's tombstone?
Uchiha... genocide...
There was a strange and absurd idea in his heart, but Kakashi avoided it subconsciously, and fell into a state of being puzzled again.
"You smell like blood, have you been busy all night?" Sakai interrupted his thinking.
"Ah, I've been dealing with corpses." Kakashi replied truthfully.
"..." Sakai glared at him immediately after hearing this, "You sat on my bed and touched my quilt after disposing of the corpse?!"
"Cough..." Kakashi looked away a little guilty.
"Get out of bed and take a shower!" Sakai got out of bed and found a suit of clothes from the closet. He wanted to throw it to Kakashi, but remembered that Kakashi's hand had just touched the corpse, so he had to take it to the bathroom for him, "After washing Hurry up and go to bed!" The guy who didn't sleep almost all day and night.
"Hey, hey~" Kakashi rolled his eyes, and Sakai pushed him into the bathroom in a non-resistance posture.
The author has something to say:
Sakai, who silently cheated a wave of soil and pretended to be ignorant...
