Chapter 121 From Heaven to Hell

"I'll go out for a walk and relax. I'll be back soon.

Uchiha Izumi, who was a little relieved, smiled from the bottom of his heart to his mother.

Whether it was an illusion or a hallucination, you just need to go out and take a look to know.

After all, Itachi-kun...

The blood on Uchiha Itachi's body is really worrying.

"Yeah, go ahead. The pressure is too great. It's good to go out and relax."

Seeing her mother nod in agreement, Izumi did not wear any equipment.

She disappeared from the house in a flash.

The next moment, she appeared on the street of the Uchiha clan.

"I remember the clan leader's house is... in that direction."

Izumi squinted her eyes and looked around. Then she determined a direction and flashed towards that direction.

Swish! Swish!

The flashing figure kept passing through the calm and dim streets and alleys.

"It's normal and quiet. It's no different from usual. "

So, everything that just happened was just a false alarm?

Looking at the lights in every household, and the shadowy figures under the lights.

The originally solemn and nervous handsome face gradually became relaxed, and Quan's mood began to become relaxed and comfortable.

These are obviously common scenes.

Now Quan feels an unprecedented warmth and warmth, which gradually flows out from the heart and slowly spreads to the limbs.

"Although those scenes are really terrifying, this kind of joy of regaining what has been lost is indeed hard to suppress."

Uchiha Quan smiled, then stopped in front of a mansion.

This is the residence of the clan leader's family.

Looking from the outside into the brightly lit house, you can still see a few figures sitting around the table.

Dongdong!

Quan walked to the door and knocked, then took a step back, folded his hands in front of him.

Not long after, he faintly heard a steady sound of footsteps appearing at the entrance behind the door.

Kacha!

"Hmm? You are..."

The door slowly slid open, and a middle-aged man with a serious look and deep temperament appeared in front of Quan.

-Uchiha Fugaku.

The head of the Uchiha clan, the captain of the police force, and the father of Uchiha Itachi.

"Patriarch, I am Uchiha Quan, I am very sorry to bother you so late."

Uchiha Quan politely leaned forward slightly and asked in a well-behaved manner: "But because I have to go out of the village to perform a mission tomorrow, I want to confirm the details of the mission again."

Confirm the details of the mission.

This is just an excuse she made up casually.

It's just an excuse to open up the conversation and ask other questions.

But Fugaku's next words were beyond Quan's expectations.

"Oh, I remember, it turned out to be Quan. "

As if he remembered the identity of the girl in front of him, Fugaku's frown suddenly relaxed, and his expression changed from serious to gentle.

This look, in Quan's eyes, became a little honest.

"I was going to inform you later, your one-week mission has been cancelled by the client."

Uchiha Quan was stunned when he heard this.

The mission was actually cancelled by the client?

"Huh? Quan, do you have any questions?"

"No, no."

Hearing Fugaku's words, Quan shook his head subconsciously and said: "Or, that would be the best."

Although it feels a bit sudden, I can spend more time with my mother.

"Yes, it's really good."

Fugaku smiled sincerely, and said with emotion: "Itachi also quit the Anbu and joined the police force, so he won't be so busy in the future."

"It's been a long time since our family has had a good reunion like today. ”

“…”

The information contained in these two short sentences made Quan look surprised again.

Uchiha Itachi is at home now.

This undoubtedly further confirmed her guess.

“However, Itachi-kun, actually quit the Anbu?”

Uchiha Quan couldn’t help but frowned, and his thoughts became confused.

This is not bad news.

On the contrary, it is the best news.

Itachi-kun no longer needs to live in the depressing atmosphere of the Anbu, nor does he need to be so bitter and resentful.

She will spend more time with Itachi-kun.

In this way, she will have more opportunities to express her feelings to Itachi-kun.

But, but…

“This is too sudden.”

“Ah, it is indeed a bit sudden, but it is true.”

Hearing this, Fugaku smiled gently and said: “If Quan wants to find Itachi in the future, he can do so at any time. There is no need to worry about Itachi leaving the village to perform tasks. "

After saying this, Uchiha Izumi couldn't help but smile.

"Anyway, it sounds good."

But suddenly, he noticed the teasing look in front of him.

He couldn't help but blush shyly.

Uchiha Izumi bowed slightly to Fugaku and said, "Well, I won't bother you anymore. I'll visit you another day."

I didn't care about Fugaku's reaction and left the clan leader's mansion in a hurry.

Walking on the streets of the clan, Izumi gradually relaxed.

Thinking about what happened tonight, a smile flashed in his eyes.

"It's great."

It's like coming from a cruel purgatory to a beautiful paradise.

………………

In the next few days, Konoha was also very peaceful.

But it was not without any changes, everything happened imperceptibly.

The Uchiha clan and the top management of Konoha have reached some kind of consensus.

An Uchiha elder joined Konoha's decision-making team, and Uchiha's voice in Konoha was strengthened.

The police force is no longer the private property of the Uchiha clan, and foreigners have begun to join the police force.

The top management of Konoha has promulgated complete regulations, and the law enforcement power of the police force has been recognized from top to bottom.

The reputation of the Uchiha clan in Konoha began to reverse.

In this harmonious environment, Konoha became more and more prosperous, and everything looked so beautiful.

And Uchiha Izumi also became a Jonin and finally joined the police force.

Located in the police force building in the center of Konoha.

At this time, dozens of members of the police force had gathered on the first floor of the building.

As the captain, Uchiha Fugaku stood in front of everyone, his serious eyes sweeping over everyone's faces.

In front of the five teams, there were five squad leaders standing.

Uchiha Itachi, the squad leader, was among them.

He perfectly inherited the talents and abilities of the Uchiha clan.

His reputation outside even surpasses Fugaku's reputation as "Evil Eye", and he is feared by ninjas from other countries.

Moreover, his will and ability were recognized by everyone present.

He is likely to become one of the candidates for the fifth or sixth generation Hokage in the future.

Of course, he is also the target of Uchiha Izumi's pursuit and admiration.

Next to Uchiha Fugaku, Izumi, wearing a police force uniform, stood in front of everyone.

"Hello, seniors!"

Her tone was neither humble nor arrogant: "I am Uchiha Izumi. I am very happy to work with you. Please take good care of me in the future."

For a moment, the members of the police force below looked at her with curious and friendly eyes.

The atmosphere seems to be very harmonious.

"As Izumi Uchiha said, from today on, she is a member of the police force."

Uchiha Fugaku introduced with his hands folded across his chest, then pointed to Uchiha Itachi's team and said: "Izumi, the team you are in is the second team to which Uchiha Itachi belongs."

Hearing this, Izumi Uchiha couldn't help but be stunned.

After a moment of silence, he nodded.

"yes."

Miizumi walked towards Itachi.

Fugaku told Itachi meaningfully: "Itachi, I will leave it to you to guide Izumi, so that she can get used to the rhythm of the police force as soon as possible."

"yes."

Uchiha Itachi nodded seriously.

After a while, Fugaku dismissed the team.

Members of the police force also left one after another to carry out internal work in the village.

Until the end, only Itachi's second detachment had not left, remaining on the first floor of the police force building.

Uchiha Itachi looked at his team members and said calmly: "Everyone except Uchiha Izumi can leave."

"yes."

After the others left, only Itachi and Izumi were left.

Izumi's eyes met, and Itachi's serious expression gradually softened, and he said in a teasing tone: "As you can see, you will be under my control from now on, Uchiha Izumi."

"……I understand."

Quan's expression was a little complicated, and he just nodded slightly.

Itachi looked at Izumi in confusion, not understanding why she had such an expression.

From a few months ago, Quan's mood seemed to be very wrong.

But whenever he asked, Izumi would just change the subject.

"It's really hard to guess a woman's mind."

Itachi couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, then looked at Quan and said: "Come with me now, and we will go on patrol in the village together."

After that, he took steps and walked towards the outside of the building.

When Quan saw this, he didn't say much, and just followed Itachi obediently.

The two of them walked together in silence.

"Itachi, we're patrolling again!"

"Well, good morning, ma'am."

Along the way, the villagers on both sides of the street greeted Itachi in a friendly manner.

But he saw Izumi Uchiha following him.

"Itachi, is this girl behind you..."

Some gossipy aunts will come up and ask about their relationship, half seriously and half jokingly.

Facing these people's questions, Uchiha Izumi just smiled reluctantly and did not respond.

"Ah, madam, don't think too much."

Uchiha Itachi on the side would take the initiative to come to the rescue and explain in a gentle tone: "We are just friends and colleagues for the time being."

"Oh~ We are friends and colleagues for now! I understand, I understand~"

When these aunties heard this and understood what he meant, they suddenly smiled as if they had discovered some little secret.

Uchiha Izumi never gave any explanation or defense from beginning to end.

This made those people more certain of their guesses.

The two of them walked until they were near the Forest of Death before their ears completely stopped.

That's when.

Uchiha Itachi suddenly stopped, turned to look at Uchiha Izumi and said with a smile: "Would you like to find a place to rest for a while?"

Quan, who was following behind him, also paused.

Looking at Itachi with a gentle smile, a look of struggle flashed in her eyes.

After a long silence, he shook his head and refused: "There is no need to rest, I'm not tired yet."

But Itachi obviously just asked as usual, and actually had no intention of listening to her opinion.

Before Quan could answer, he had already walked towards the forest of death.

"That's it..."

Uchiha Izumi looked at his back and smiled bitterly: "Has it finally come to this?"

Perhaps, it's time to make a break.

Thinking of this, Izumi took another step.

Following Itachi's figure, Izumi's figure was gradually swallowed by the shadow of the Death Forest.

The two walked one after the other.

Itachi slowed down several times on the way, and Izumi had no intention of catching up.

Uchiha Itachi sighed and let her walk by herself.

After a while.

Huahuahua~

The two walked out of the forest and came to a clear stream.

"Ah~ I haven't been here for a long time."

Itachi sat on a stone by the stream, looking at the scene in the distance and sighed: "In the past, we often practiced ninjutsu here, and so many years have passed without knowing it."

Uchiha Izumi lowered his head and slowly came behind him.

Yes, so much time has passed without knowing it...

She has lived very, very happily over the years.

No need to leave the village to do those threatening tasks, you can stay in the village to accompany your mother, and there is a friend who appreciates each other...

"Izumi."

At this time, Uchiha Itachi looked at the distance without looking back. After hesitating for a moment, he finally said: "If I remember correctly, we have known each other for ten years, you..."

Itachi, who usually looks decisive and rational, showed embarrassment at this time.

If those subordinates saw it, they would never believe their eyes.

This is obviously a look of love, right?

But Izumi, who used to be reserved and indifferent, is now uncharacteristically neither happy nor sad.

"You want me to be with you, right?"

"I..."

Uchiha Itachi was also stunned by this straight shot.

But Izumi didn't care about his answer.

But he nodded slightly and looked at the distance with complicated eyes.

"If I choose to accept everything."

"Then one day in the future, you will put the ring on my hand."

"Our children will live in a peaceful environment since childhood, without having to feel the cruelty of war, let alone listen to the wailing of the battlefield."

"The child will also move in the direction I hope for and become an ordinary person with a healthy body and mind."

"I will live peacefully until I am seventy years old and die before you."

"You will hold my hand beside the bed, and I will leave the world without any regrets and with a peaceful smile."

Uchiha Izumi used a calm tone to constantly outline the beautiful future she wanted.

This is the future she saw.

This is also the future she most desired in her heart.

After Izumi finished speaking, Uchiha Itachi on the side also came back to his senses.

He turned around and asked with a puzzled look: "Izumi, what are you talking about..."

But before he could finish.

Puff!

A muffled sound piercing the flesh came, and Uchiha Itachi's eyes suddenly widened.

"Izumi, you, why..."

Faced with his doubts, Izumi never looked at him from beginning to end, but looked at the distance by herself: "Tell me, which one is easier to accept, the false beauty or the cruel reality?"

Then she smiled bitterly and asked herself: "Without a doubt, it is the former."

But, it is obviously a false illusion, why let her know?

Deceiving oneself and others.

It is really sad.

Also, becoming friends, husband and wife with the executioner who killed my mother.

Really, really...

"It is really a disgusting future!"

Pah! Pah!

Uchiha Izumi hung her head, the shadow of her hair covered her face, but tears could not stop flowing from her eyes.

"Huh! Huh hahaha!"

She was out of control and cried and laughed: "I really want this kind of future, I really don't want to believe that you will do that kind of thing!"

"But, but!"

Izumi was shaking all over and tears were flowing, then she raised her head suddenly.

Her eyes turned scarlet, and the shape of three magatama appeared.

Her eyes were full of resentment and anger: "No matter how I deceive myself, every time I see you in front of me, I can't help but want to vomit!!"

Although she desperately told herself in her heart.

It was just an illusion, Uchiha Itachi could not do such a thing.

However, her mother, her people, and all the good things around her.

Even the nightmares every night reminded her all the time.

This was just her wishful thinking!

Her mother had died under Uchiha Itachi's butcher knife!

This was just a beautiful future that Uchiha Itachi specially fabricated for her!

The warmth when accompanying her mother, and the pain of pretending to be unaware even though she knew it was false.

Every time Uchiha Itachi appeared in front of her.

That hypocritical face, the way he said and did, would deepen her resentment and pain again and again!

The strong hatred from the bottom of her heart continued to torture her day after day, year after year.

Now, it is impossible to suppress it!

"Uchiha Itachi!!"

Puff! !

As the words fell, the kunai was pulled out from Uchiha Itachi's chest.

The blood that continued to flow also splashed on Quan's face and clothes.

And the next moment, everything in front of him began to twist and deform.

The gurgling stream, the bright sunshine, the fresh air, and the slowly falling Uchiha Quan...

All of this disappeared.

The sky turned into night in an instant, and she appeared in her home again.

"Am I out of the illusion?"

Uchiha Izumi just showed a hint of joy, and before she could react.

A cold and familiar voice suddenly came from beside her.

"Is your hatred only this extent?"

This cold tone made Uchiha Izumi tremble all over.

Then, she slowly raised her head and looked at the figure in front of her with a blank expression.

It seemed that in an instant, she fell from heaven to hell again.

Uchiha Itachi stood there, looking at her with a cold face.

Puff!

The butcher knife in his hand was pulled out directly from the mother's heart.

The gushing blood splashed directly on Izumi's stunned face.

This is reality.

This is an extremely cruel and brutal reality.

The delicate cheek gradually became distorted.

A pair of scarlet eyes with tears were instantly filled with hatred.

"Ah! Uchiha Itachi!!"

Her Sharingan, filled with anger and hatred, began to spin rapidly, and she screamed hysterically: "I want you to die!!!"
