I don’t know when it started.
Uchiha Itachi could feel that a pair of eyes were observing him.
It's not the normal 'look over here', but a gaze that is hidden in a place where people can't see, and it's vague.
In particular, many times when he felt it, it was in places or positions where a normal person would never appear.
Let’s not talk about anything else for now.
——No normal person would stare at someone from a position close to the ground, right?
It is absolutely impossible to reach that height unless you hide yourself and lie on the ground to watch.
In addition, there are windows, treetops and even mirrors...
That kind of all-round observation makes people feel uncomfortable, as if worms are crawling on their body.
The direction of sight is one aspect.
The time and frequency of appearance are also the main reasons why he thinks the other party is a pervert.
Whether he was eating, training or sleeping...even in the bathroom, he could feel that vague gaze.
Especially when he is alone.
It was as if she was watching him and waiting for him to be left alone.
In order to prevent himself from wrongly accusing someone and mistaking the spy who came to steal information for a pervert, Uchiha Itachi deliberately exposed his flaws several times.
For example, leaving documents out in the open, or accidentally forgetting drawings or parts used for production somewhere.
But there were no signs of any of these having been touched.
Therefore, that person’s target can only be himself.
And it's disgusting voyeurism.
——If this isn’t perversion, then what is it!
If this happened to someone else, he would definitely choose a good friend or elder to talk to and seek help first.
But what happened to Uchiha Itachi made him even more silent than before.
Not only will they not ask for help, but they will also try to solve the problem on their own without affecting others.
So, the young boy, despite his disgust and irritability, tried to catch this elusive "pervert". However, the other party was too cunning and secretive, and Uchiha Itachi's several actions were all in vain.
The opponent was like a loach and disappeared the moment Uchiha Itachi took action.
No trace left.
Uchiha Itachi was not sure whether this was some unknown secret ninjutsu or a personal ability.
I can only think while continuing to confront this 'invisible pervert'.
The only one who could peek and retreat without being noticed in front of Uchiha Itachi...is of course our old friend Black Zetsu.
Ever since considering Uchiha Itachi as a 'spare tire', Black Zetsu has been focusing more and more of his energy on observing this young and promising Uchiha.
The more he looked at it, the more satisfied he felt.
He is so calm and reserved at such a young age. You can tell at first glance that he is a person who can achieve great things.
In comparison, Uchiha Obito, who forced things to happen and always thought he was acting on his own, really deserves to be put into the trash can.
Back then, Uchiha Obito didn't have the ability to realize that he was peeping, and of course he didn't have the patience to be so calm. Even in the situation like this, he was still able to act according to the plan instead of acting recklessly like a headless fly.
Black Zetsu was very satisfied.
I feel that the only thing between him and the spare tire... no, and Uchiha Itachi, is a chance for contact.
An opportunity like the one he had when he lured Indra and took advantage of the opportunity to make him turn against Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Ashura.
And this opportunity was soon presented to him.
The cause is also very simple.
It was the "isolation" of the Uchiha by the students who were "internship" together.
Actually, it is not accurate to say "isolated".
The main reason is that these young Uchiha almost all have experience working in the Ugetsu Store.
Others are 'first-time interns', and for them, this should be called 'second time in prison'.
They are essentially different.
This is a huge difference for ninjas who have been united in various ways since ancient times (whether they are ninja clans or ninja villages).
You are not on the same page with us, so we can't be friends with you.jpg
It's like people who didn't enter school or work at the same time naturally have a gap between them, especially now that they are in competition with each other.
You and I understand this problem, and the Uchiha people also rubbed their noses and accepted it.
——Who made them really get a head start?
However, the Uchiha people will not indulge others because of this.
If you want to ignore us, just ignore us.
We don't have a very close relationship to begin with, so let's just see what happens.
We will never give away the work reward from Yuyue Store!
The most direct result is
On the surface, the interns of Yu Yue Store were simply divided into two forces.
One is Uchiha, and the other is someone other than Uchiha.
But others understand, but Black Zetsu, who has never worked and lived in a normal workplace, doesn't know.
In his opinion, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
God is on his side, helping him succeed!
The Uchiha were isolated, isn't this just like how Indra was excluded by the Ashura faction back then!
Because you are outstanding and unkind, you are excluded and isolated.
He is definitely the second Indra, isn't he?
He is so familiar with it.
Black Zetsu took action on the spot.
This time, without waiting for Uchiha Itachi to find him, he took the initiative to appear in front of the boy.
“How pitiful.”
Uchiha Itachi slowly typed a question mark.
In his entire life, no one had ever said "poor" to him, or to an Uchiha. For a moment, he even wondered if this person had some serious illness.
Otherwise, why would he come up and say "poor thing" to others for no reason?
However, Uchiha Itachi's silence was misunderstood by Black Zetsu as 'I didn't expect to be told what I was thinking, it's very embarrassing'.
With Indra as an example of a successful case, Black Zetsu felt that his analysis was very correct.
After all, the Uchiha have always been of this character since ancient times.
To save face, asking them to show weakness in front of others is more difficult than taking their lives.
Now that this has been brought up, he certainly won’t be able to accept it.
But it must be said that this is the best time to break through the defense.
"It's so pitiful that you are excluded just because you are excellent."
"Ninjas are always like this... they can never accept the fact that others are better than them."
Ignoring Uchiha Itachi, Black Zetsu continued talking to himself.
"But don't worry, I'm always on your side."
After criticizing others, it is naturally your turn to show your loyalty.
"Maybe you don't believe it now, but you will understand it in the future."
Before Uchiha Itachi's attack could hit his face, Black Zetsu jumped up and down a few times and flashed to another location.
"I'm different from them. If it were me, I would never reject you just because of your excellence."
Because I need to rely on your excellent abilities to collect the tailed beasts.
Black Zetsu
It was the true feelings of the people, but Uchiha Itachi didn't believe even a single punctuation mark.
Not only that, he even became more convinced that the other party was a pervert.
"I will come to find you again."
Seeing that Uchiha Itachi did not react, Black Zetsu was not discouraged.
He believed that his words must have caused a great shock to the other party, but because he was an Uchiha, it did not show on his face.
When I leave and it's late at night and everyone is asleep, he will definitely think about what I said over and over again.
“Then you’ll understand.”
Black Zetsu disappeared, leaving contentedly.
However, his words made Uchiha Itachi frown rarely.
This certainly doesn't mean that he was touched.
But he was very angry.
Not only is this a perversion, it's a perversion that targets children.
Otherwise, why would he speak to me in such a deceptive tone?
Compared to the anger of encountering a pervert, perhaps the anger of being treated as an ignorant child is greater.
Otherwise, why didn't he tell this to his father?
If we are looking for the 'strong man' of Uchiha, then isn't my father, the clan leader, stronger?
Uchiha Itachi closed his eyes.
No, I can't be so childishly angry.
He first had to figure out what this guy's purpose was.
Uchiha Itachi calmed down and made up his mind.
No matter who the other party is or what their purpose is.
He will definitely find out... and then catch the person!
The boy made up his mind.
And later, it was exactly as Black Zetsu said.
Not only did he not disappear, but he would come out from time to time to make his presence felt.
And it's happening more often than in the past.
When working, when leaving get off work alone, and even after being criticized by Kakuzu.
——The reason why Kakuzu criticized him was very simple, because he felt that Uchiha Itachi was a little absent-minded recently.
I used to maintain a 300% daily work efficiency, but now it’s only 250-260%... How can this be possible!?
You are an elite, the elite of Uchiha.
How can we go backwards instead of forwards?
Your goal is 400% and 500%!
Kakuzu couldn't bear to see Uchiha Itachi like this.
The rising star fell, and nature found him.
——After all, every time Uchiha Itachi was lazy, Kakuzu would lose his share.
How can this be possible?
Although there were reasons for it, Uchiha Itachi, who had always been 'other people's child' and 'a genius who didn't need to worry about', still felt ashamed when he heard Kakuzu's words.
It's really wrong to delay work because of my own affairs.
But anyone can say this, except Hei Jue.
What do you mean by 'They don't sympathize with you at all?'
Without you, nothing would happen.
But after all, we decided to catch this pervert and the evil forces behind him.
Uchiha Itachi still managed to perform the image of a young boy who was shaken after being questioned with great difficulty.
At the same time, he sighed softly in his heart.
——It’s really difficult to perform this image.
It is much more difficult than learning any secret ninjutsu.
Fortunately, he had his younger brother's words and deeds as a reference, otherwise Uchiha Itachi felt that he might not be able to act it out.
Just thinking about how Sasuke's facial expressions and movements all came from his teaching process...
The boy's melancholy became more severe.
This genuine gloom from the heart also made his "wavering" seem more real.
It seems that all kinds of negative emotions really arise due to exclusion and scolding.
This made Black Zetsu even more confident.
——Sure enough, as long as I take action, there is no Uchiha that I can’t fool!
From Indra to Uchiha Madara, and then to this little Uchiha.
All of Uchiha Itachi's hesitations were compared to the Uchiha people he had fooled in the past.
He didn't even consider the second or third possibility.
He just continued to fool people with full concentration.
Every once in a while, he would come like a "confident older brother" to feed the other person some poisonous chicken soup and brainwash them "as he thinks".
Of course he was smart enough not to reveal his purpose directly.
He just said something half-hearted like 'this world is so rotten', 'if it were me I would never do that' and so on.
The purpose is to make Uchiha Itachi disappointed with this world first.
As long as he has the idea that "it's not me who is wrong but this world", it is Black Zetsu who exports himself to create a new world and reach
It's time to realize the concept of 'new dream'.
Even someone as powerful as Uchiha Madara was eventually fooled by this trick of mine, wasn't he?
However, facing this series of toxic chicken soup, Uchiha Itachi's heart was cold.
Not to mention that he had no such idea at all. Even if we take a step back and assume that he really had similar thoughts or a similar feeling of emptiness, what this guy said was too dry and straightforward.
There is no temptation at all.
Like a dry, astringent slice of bread.
It's not that it's inedible, but it's certainly hard to swallow unless you're going to die if you don't eat it.
After talking about support for so long, in the end there was nothing substantial.
How do you support?
What help will be provided, or is there anyone who can be found to solve the problem?
You keep saying "standing on one side", but I haven't seen you really come up with any solution to the problem, or a practical solution that is good for you.
Uchiha Itachi didn't expect that he could solve a problem just like Miss Ugetsuki did.
If the problem cannot be solved, spending money can solve it.
But at least you should have the attitude.
Sometimes Uchiha Itachi couldn't bear to listen anymore and couldn't help frowning.
Because he really didn't know what the point was.
No matter how patient he is.
I can't stand going around in circles with a pervert all day.
The kind that doesn't get to the point in any sentence.
Finally, he chose to take the initiative:
"What do you want me to do?"
You come to me, you don't really want to practice your speaking skills on me, do you?
Black Zetsu: “…”
Uchiha Itachi's straight shot stunned Black Zetsu.
He is used to cheating and deceiving people.
He always seduces the other party, making them 'think' that the idea is his own, and then acts on the idea that he has coaxed out.
After all, compared to being persuaded by others, people will be more determined and have more execution when they persuade themselves.
I didn't expect that the young Uchiha in front of me would not play by the rules.
He was not given any chance to further brainwash or seduce the other party into having the ideas he wanted.
——According to Black Zetsu's original idea, he was going to spend one to two years to slowly make the other party realize that "there is no place for me in this place now. I want to create a world where I and other geniuses can breathe and release freely."
The idea came.
Seeing Black Zetsu stuck in silence, Uchiha Itachi also felt that he might be too impatient.
It's not like someone would reveal his plan after just a few meetings.
So he tried a different approach:
"Or do you have any plans? Have you made the plan? Let me see. I don't like the feeling of doing nothing."
Black Zetsu slowly typed a question mark.
A plan... Of course he had a plan, which was to save his mother who was sealed on the lonely and cold moon.
But the plan is...
What plan?
Is there any plan for this thing?
You can't say that he's just going to trick the ninjas into hiding the secret, and then trick the Uchiha with the Sharingan into performing Infinite Tsukuyomi to pull out his biological mother, right?
Black Zetsu is numb.
Most of the ninjas he met in the past had their own ideas or already had certain goals.
Even if they don't have a specific goal, most of them are suspicious or extremely confident in themselves - and the characteristic of such people is that they will not ask others for help.
But take action on your own.
As for the plan and purpose...of course, they were all formulated by him.
How could I possibly let someone else do something like this?
If he lets others do it, it will not be his original goal.
As a person at the top of the pyramid, it is certainly impossible for me to devote my entire life to other people's ideals.
I don’t even have enough time to work for my own dreams, so how can I possibly ask other people what they want?
So it was natural for Black Zetsu to make such a judgment this time.
What he never expected was that although this 'Uchiha' in front of him was a genius, he had no genius baggage at all. Not only was he unusually free of pride and complacency, he was also very good at cooperating with other people's work to accomplish other people's goals.
What's more, he didn't expect that because he had worked for Yuyue Store for a long time, he had already formed the working habits of "asking for plans" and "executing according to plans".
——Compared to messing around aimlessly, having a clear purpose, a plan that can be completed step by step...what a blessing this is for people with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
The smile disappeared from Black Zetsu's face.
Itachi Uchiha lost his patience.
“This, this…”
Black Zetsu was sweating profusely (if he had any).
As cunning as he is, if he is given enough time, he will certainly be able to come up with a perfect and smooth answer.
.
After all, he is the man who has been fooling ninjas for a thousand years, so he does have some basic skills.
But at this moment, it was a sudden incident.
He was given neither time to prepare nor the opportunity to organize his language and logic.
Seeing this, Uchiha Itachi's opinion of Black Zetsu dropped a few points further.
Sure enough, no matter what the strength is.
Abnormalities are abnormalities and there is no hope for them.
In desperation, the boy had to lower his standards again.
"Didn't you say you would stand by me and support me?"
I've talked so much now, you should be able to explain it to me, right?
Even if you are a liar, you have to be able to come up with tricks that make people's hearts beat faster.
Black Zetsu was indeed calmer this time.
However, he was used to verbal deception and had not changed his old habits. He just opened his mouth and said:
"Of course, I'm definitely on your side. So whatever you do, I support you."
To the ninjas who have always been lonely and have been difficult to confide in in the past, "I support you" is a very touching sentence.
——Who doesn’t want someone in the world to support and understand him or her?
What's more, Black Zetsu (thinks he is) is still very capable.
If a ninja wants to achieve a certain goal, he will definitely need his own abilities.
As long as I do whatever he tells me to do, I will get his 100% trust.
Anyway, his real goal is to be executed in units of thousands of years, and he doesn't mind spending a few more months or even a year or two to gain the other party's trust.
Because for him who had lived for a thousand years, this was truly a very, very brief moment.
However, this statement is too empty for those who live in a peaceful era and whose lives are always prosperous.
You said support, I have to know what you can provide to support me, right?
What exactly?
Because they live in a peaceful world, Uchiha Itachi does not have a specific and clear obsession... sigh.
This was truly the worst liar he had ever seen.
This generation of liars, no.
No wonder he targeted himself.
I'm afraid he also understands that if his opponent is a well-known ninja like his father, he will definitely fail.
However, Black Zetsu did not notice the young man's sigh at his own disappointing behavior, and continued:
"You are a genius who possesses the Sharingan at a young age. Most things in this world are easy for you."
"So you just have to decide what you want to do - don't worry, I will always be by your side to support you and accompany you."
Considering that the other person was a child, he softened his voice a little.
Uchiha Itachi: "..."
It's too difficult.
It's really difficult to deal with such a pervert who has a bad brain and doesn't even know how to deceive people.
Itachi Uchiha felt that he was in the biggest crisis in his life.
If it weren't for the fact that the other party's ability to appear and disappear at will made it difficult for him to catch him, and if it weren't for the fear that he would alert the enemy and move from the open to the secret and become difficult to capture, Uchiha Itachi would have definitely turned hostile and attacked him on the spot.
What if this guy fails to deceive himself and deceives others... or even comes to Sasuke?
Sasuke is young and kind, and he doesn't guard against others. What if he gets cheated out of sympathy or the desire to make friends?
Just imagining such a scene, Uchiha Itachi felt a chill running up his bones.
No, it can't.
We can't let him attack other people, especially Sasuke.
The young man looked at the pervert in front of him, whose true face was not revealed, and calmed down again.
He was thinking about when to write a letter home, asking his father and mother to pay more attention to Sasuke and not let him get entangled by any strange things.
While trying to comfort myself.
Isn't it just dealing with a pervert? Anyway, as far as it seems now, as long as the other party still has some intentions towards me, he will definitely not take action.
This way, he has plenty of time to observe and study.
...Sooner or later, one day, I will be able to find the opponent's weakness and eliminate him in one fell swoop.
At this time, Uchiha Obito did not know that Black Zetsu had already intended to replace him.
I didn't know that Black Zetsu had specifically contacted another Uchiha.
He just thought that the other party was taking action on his own and going to gather information.
This situation has become more and more frequent since Uchiha Obito and Black Zetsu started arguing.
Uchiha Obito does his own thing, and Black Zetsu does Black Zetsu's thing.
He couldn't even remember when was the last time he worked together with Black Zetsu.
...It seems that he attacked Konoha and fought against his teacher.
, and the time with the Uchiha clan leader?
In fact, Uchiha Obito was not really unaware of Kuro Zetsu's indifference towards him.
It's just that because the attitude of all members of the Akatsuki organization towards him is almost the same, Black Zetsu's behavior does not seem so special.
After all, neither Konan nor Nagato usually had a good attitude towards him.
The number of their joint actions was almost zero after the Chunin Exam in Sand Village.
Uchiha Obito was of course feeling aggrieved and dissatisfied.
But there is nothing we can do.
After all, he couldn't beg them to act with him. (Of course, the fact is that even if he begged, it might not work.)
So gradually, he lost the habit of sharing information or asking for advice with others.
Therefore, when he learned that Yu Yue took the store people to dig up a relic that might have been left over from a thousand years ago, he did not tell anyone.
After all, there's nothing to say.
It's just a relic. There may not be much else in this ninja world, but relics or ruins of ancient tombs are really everywhere.
Not to mention, in the past thousand years, there have been hundreds of civilizations or cities destroyed by ninjas.
So what if it is a relic from thousands of years ago?
It has nothing to do with their purpose of collecting the tailed beasts and subverting the world.
So Uchiha Obito easily forgot this information.
Black Zetsu, who was immersed in seducing (deceiving) Uchiha Itachi, missed the news.
The result was that Yu Yue and a group of people found the ruins painlessly and without any obstacles.
And discovered a huge, subversive news for the world. !
