Uchiha Clan Land.

Caw-caw—

Flocks of crows gradually descended, flying into a simple small courtyard.

This courtyard was located deep within the clan land, simple and unadorned.

“Is that Itachi?”

Hearing the sound from outside, Shisui, whose eyes were bandaged, slowly pushed open the door.

Creak.

The sound of the wheelchair rubbing against the wooden floor was exceptionally clear.

And when Itachi saw this scene, his usually calm eyes couldn’t help but tremble slightly.

Extremely subtle.

In the night, even if one wanted to see it, they couldn’t.

But Shisui didn’t just rely on sight.

“Your heart is troubled.” He paused, then pointed to the seat beside him and said, “Sit down and have some water.”

Watching his actions, Itachi frowned slightly: “Shisui-niisan, you seem… a little different.”

The Shisui in front of him was completely unlike the sunny and cheerful big boy he used to be.

He was like stagnant water, without any ripples or changes.

“Different? I’m already a dead man.”

Shisui pulled at the corner of his mouth, seemingly wanting to show his familiar smile, but failed.

The darkness before his eyes seemed to gradually envelop the light in his heart.

The two looked at each other in silence.

“Shisui-niisan, I… I’m going to rest.”

After a moment, Itachi bid farewell.

Whoosh.

Pushing open the door, the moonlight outside had vanished, leaving only thick darkness.

Silently engulfing the entire Uchiha Clan Land.

Only the dim yellow light remained inside the room.

Just as he lifted his foot, preparing to step into the dense darkness, Shisui behind him suddenly spoke: “Itachi, have you—made your choice?”

Clatter.

The lifted foot paused at the threshold.

The figure with his back to Shisui froze at the doorway.

Motionless.

Until the light extinguished, becoming thick as ink.

He then lightly chuckled and reminded, “Shisui-niisan, it’s getting late. You should rest early.”

With that, his foot landed, and his entire being was swallowed by the darkness.

Disappearing from sight.

Drip.

Drip.

Outside the window, there seemed to be the faint sound of night dew dripping, indistinct.

“That Itachi, he left without even closing the door.”

After a long while, Shisui suddenly moved his wheelchair forward to close the door.

Whoosh.

Snap!

But just as the wooden door was about to close, a tender hand suddenly reached in.

“Hm? Itachi, you—huh?”

Shisui froze, instinctively speaking, but half-way through, he suddenly realized something was off.

“Are you Jin?”

“Yo, Tsuchiko-ge, so leisurely tonight?”

Shisui: …

That Jin’s mouth, really…

His originally dead heart suddenly stirred with a ripple.

He gave a bitter smile: “Not sleeping in the middle of the night, you…”

“Me what me, if Itachi can go in, why can’t I?”

Jin completely ignored Shisui’s body, pulled open the door, and squeezed in directly.

His small body swayed in the dim room.

Like a landlord inspecting his territory, nonchalant.

Finally, Shisui couldn’t help but ask the doubt in his heart first: “Why did you save me?”

“No, I didn’t save you, I saved the Uchiha clansmen.”

Jin’s unexpected answer made him think of many things.

The Uchiha clan, Konoha, and Itachi’s wavering stance.

It also made Shisui freeze, his raised hand somewhat at a loss.

He could only place it beside the wheelchair, gripping the armrest tightly.

Jin looked at Shisui, who was currently up to his chest, and smiled as he reached out and poked his head:

“Shisui, your heart is troubled.”

Shisui: …

This sentence sounded familiar.

But the situation was quite the opposite.

He raised his head, looking directly ahead.

Although he couldn’t see, a tender face quietly appeared in his mind.

He was just a child!

And—his behavior didn’t seem particularly smart.

But why did he always feel like he was being seen through every time he chatted with Jin?

As if his entire body was naked.

Completely exposed before Jin.

Like a giant standing above destiny, looking down on him.

He had speculated more than once whether Jin’s eyes could see through destiny.

But it had never been confirmed.

After a moment of hesitation, he still asked: “Why did you save me? I’ve lost both eyes now, without my doujutsu, my legs are broken, and my body is crippled.”

“I… I’m already a cripple.”

Jin casually brushed him off: “A cripple is good, it’s easier to grind out terms when you’re a cripple.”

Shisui completely didn’t understand what he was saying.

He waved his hand, assuming Jin was talking nonsense again, and asked, “What do you need me to do?”

“Huh? Did you feel it?”

Jin was a little surprised. Having been brought back from the dead, it seemed Shisui’s mindset was indeed different.

He didn’t beat around the bush and said directly: “I need you to be a hitman, a hitman for the Uchiha clan.”

“Oh, and a reminder, I saved you!”

“So, strictly speaking—you, Uchiha Shisui, should be my servant from now on.”

At this point, the frivolous ease on Jin’s face completely vanished, leaving only seriousness.

He stared at Shisui’s face, and a delicate Vajra chain appeared in his right palm.

Three strands intertwined, with an eyeball in the very center.

Kotoamatsukami.

The reason why Shisui had been saved for so long, and they were only discussing this matter today, was because he had been figuring out how to use Kotoamatsukami.

Until today, he had completely understood it.

Now, if Shisui dared to say “no,” he would definitely unleash it directly.

Shisui’s Kotoamatsukami was very useful to him.

At worst, he could treat the clan extermination game as an SSR card collection game.

Of course, Danzo, even dogs wouldn’t want him.

“So… is Jin preparing to completely stand against the village?”

Hearing this, Shisui fell silent once more.

He vaguely guessed something, even seeing the scene of brothers fighting in the future.

This made him feel powerless.

And it made his heart even more tormented.

Escape!

Perhaps death was the only way.

Noticing Shisui’s emotions, Jin moved closer and whispered in his ear:

“Of course, if Suizi-ge wants to die, it’s even simpler. Have you heard of the Second Hokage-sama’s forbidden jutsu, Impure World Reincarnation?”
