Lord God Investigator

The man came back to his senses, noticed Sasuke's arrival, and slowly turned his head.

"You're back?"

The tone was very calm, and in a daze, Sasuke felt that this scene seemed familiar. When he was a child, every time he went home, someone would say the same thing to him in such a conversation.

The man in front of him was none other than Itachi Uchiha, whom Sasuke once wished he could kill!

Sasuke once imagined the scene where the two would meet again, and every imagination involved them fighting each other with swords as soon as they met, fighting to the death.

However, when they really met again, Sasuke didn't know what to do.

With the Kusanagi Sword in his hand, he also learned a skill, activated the Celestial Curse Seal Sage mode, and used the kaleidoscope to fight the kaleidoscope. Sasuke was absolutely confident in taking the life of the sick man in front of him.

However, Sasuke just stood there and did not take action.

Does it make sense to kill him?

Vent your anger?

revenge?

prove yourself?

Achieve your life goals?

Shaking his head slowly, Sasuke put the Kusanagi sword into its scabbard, suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart, pointed at the door and said: "Get out! You don't deserve to stay in this house - this house where you killed your parents with your own hands. !”

After hearing Sasuke's harsh words, Uchiha Itachi was a little stunned and murmured: "Just drive me away, won't you kill me?"

"Kill you? Have I become just like you? I don't kill my relatives!"

Sasuke shook his head and said: "A friend of mine told me that there must be a bottom line in being a human being. No matter what the reason is, if you break through a certain limit, you will be no different from a beast and you will never be a human again! You are a potential human being. If you go back to Konoha, then go to the police station with me. You are still a wanted criminal in Konoha. If you surrender, you may get a reduced sentence."

Itachi smiled, smiled happily, turned his head and looked at the shrine again, where the spiritual tablets of Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Kotomi were enshrined.

Smiling, he shed tears: "Yes, it was probably because of this reason that my father did not fight with me and died silently under my knife."

He suddenly realized something and suddenly turned his head to look at Sasuke: "You... still treat me as a relative?"

"I won't forgive you!"

Sasuke whispered: "But I can understand your helplessness... In that situation, if it were me, I wouldn't be able to find a way to break the situation. Maybe only my friend can find a way..."

"Brother, you have a very good friend. Under his influence, I am impressed by your growth, which is far beyond my expectations..."

Itachi sighed and said: "I once had a friend like this. He found a way to break the situation, but it's a pity..."

"I know everything that happened that night!"

Sasuke interrupted him loudly: "I can't resent you, but I can't pretend that nothing happened and forgive you lightly. Maybe it will take some time... Come with me and surrender, I will go to prison. Look at you..."

"Actually, I have already surrendered to Lord Jiraiya."

Itachi sighed and said: "It doesn't count as surrendering. I reported to him the intelligence collected by my undercover agent in the Akatsuki organization..."

Sasuke frowned and said, "Is that all? The actual person in charge of Konoha is Naruto. He doesn't believe in the rhetoric of 'the merits are equal to the faults'."

Itachi said with a bitter smile: "I also met Naruto-kun. He believed that I was an Anbu at the time and was following the orders of Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen. It was an act of performing official duties and I was not legally responsible. However, this It will be formally determined after a meeting and discussion by the Ministry of Internal Affairs Supervisory Committee. I am currently under suspension for investigation and awaiting the results."

"Okay... there's no need to go to the police station." Sasuke nodded with a complicated mood, pointed to the door and said, "But I still have to ask you out. I really don't want to see you now, give me some time..."

"Sasuke... I also want to give you some time... to make up for everything I did to you..."

Itachi refused to leave, and said tangledly: "But I don't have much time. I beg you, can you give me a little time?"

Only then did Sasuke realize that Itachi's face was very poor and his eyes were covered with a dark film. He sensed that his life force was on the verge of exhaustion.

He is dying... is it because of overuse of the Mangekyo Sharingan?

Sasuke's heart throbbed violently. Even though he had hated him to the core, when he thought that he was his only relative in the world, and he would die soon...

He is about to lose his last relative!

"Okay...what do you want me to do for you?"

How could Sasuke refuse such a request? Once he refused, it would be goodbye forever and there would be no chance of meeting him again!

Itachi smiled warmly, and the smile on his thin face was the same as before: "Just let me cook you a dinner and have a meal with me, okay?"

"ha?"

Sasuke was stunned, he didn't expect Itachi's last wish to be so simple!

Itachi was not joking. He really rolled up his sleeves, walked into the kitchen, lit the stove with his fire escape, activated his almost exhausted Mangekyō Sharingan, chopped the vegetables, and used the most exquisite physical skills of the Uchiha clan to stir-fry the vegetables. …

A table of delicious food was placed on the table. Itachi looked at Sasuke expectantly, looking eager to see him eat it.

Sasuke sat numbly at the table. The food on this table was delicious and delicious. He had been hungry for a long time, but he had no appetite at all.

Picking up the rice bowl, Sasuke forced himself to pick up the vegetables and ate with big mouthfuls. The food was obviously delicious, but it tasted like chewing gum. The more he ate, the more bitter it became in his mouth.

But the way he ate seemed to be very delicious.

In this way, after many years of separation, the two brothers finally sat at the dining table again and had dinner together.

While eating, Sasuke couldn't bear it any longer. With tears in his eyes, he whispered: "Why, why did those things happen..."

Itachi was silent for a while and answered him: "Isn't the goal of you and your friends working hard is to hope that those things will never happen again? We had no choice back then, but you can truly control your destiny..."

After eating, Itachi cleared away the tableware and the kitchen, then returned to the living room and knelt side by side with Sasuke in front of the shrine.

"It's time to leave after dinner..." Sasuke said, "Maybe we can have dinner together every day from now on until..."

"I have no regrets anymore, just today." Itachi shook his head and said: "There is no point in procrastinating any longer..."

Sasuke didn't understand what he said and asked, "What is it today?"

"Sasuke, my brother, you have grown into a real man."

Itachi did not answer his question, but stood up and said with great solemnity: "Then I will formally ask you, as a man to a man, to do me one last favor!"

Itachi bowed deeply, lowered his head, and said word by word: "I want to commit seppuku, and I beg you to be my intermediary!"
