The round moon hung like a wheel, and a gentle evening breeze blew across the plains, bringing a sense of serenity.
In the cold moonlight, a towering tree stood majestically, casting a huge shadow on the ground. It grew wildly, branching out, and its wide canopy seed to cover the entire night sky.
Centered on the giant tree, thousands of ters were filled with colorful flowers. In a breeze, the flowers and grass swayed gently, and petals rose and fell with the wind, like a fragrant sea.
Before the giant tree, the space twisted into a vortex, a black and red channel opened, and two figures walked out.
"Huh? Where is this..."
Uchiha Nian curiously looked around, and his attention was imdiately attracted by the spectacular view of the plains.
The towering tree and the sea of flowers that shimred in the silver light refreshed his perception in just a few seconds.
"So... there are such beautiful places in the world..."
For so reason, his vision blurred, and mist appeared in his eyes.
The shock of seeing his father's photo, the despair of knowing the truth of the experint, the resentnt of being besieged by Root... The emotions that he had been trying to suppress poured in like a tide, overwhelming his entire body and mind.
Tears fell down his cheeks like broken beads, the wind was gentle, the fields were peaceful and beautiful, but there was only loneliness and sadness in his heart.
He didn't know how long he cried before he vented all his emotions and brought his complex mood back to peace.
It wasn't until he realized that he didn't seem to be alone that he suddenly turned his head and found that Senior was quietly standing in the sea of flowers, carrying his hands on his back, looking up at the sky.
"Done crying?"
Nian was stunned for a mont and nodded subconsciously. "Yes."
Kamihane turned his head, as if he had eyes on the back of his head.
He walked slowly to Nian's side, looking him up and down, his eyebrows furrowing slightly, as if he was thinking about sothing.
Nian was also confused. He didn't know why Senior saved him, or why he brought him here. He didn't even know where this place was.
But Senior must have his reasons for doing so, and he didn't dare to ask too many questions.
Because... ever since he threw that shuriken, he didn't want to go back to Konoha anymore. Except for Orochimaru and Chiru, that place was just a place to live. It couldn't be called a ho at all.
Perhaps... he never had a ho.
He was very afraid that if he was too talkative or did sothing wrong and made Senior unhappy, he would be abandoned again and returned to that cold and sad place.
Fortunately, Kamihane broke the silence, and Nian's tight heart relaxed slightly.
"Originally, I was going to wait for you to help Orochimaru and Hizure find the treasures in the secret chamber before telling you the truth, but now it seems..."
Kamihane spoke softly, dragging out his tone. "The situation has changed unexpectedly."
Nian hesitated for a mont and tentatively said, "Actually... I've already guessed so of it myself."
"Oh? About your father?" Kamihane asked in surprise, and his raised eyebrows revealed a little surprise.
"Yes..." Nian said softly: "My father, Uchiha Kagami, he wasn't the deserter in the mouths of Konoha, but a genius who possessed both the Mangekyō Sharingan and Wood Release, the Konoha commander who led the main battlefield in the Ninja World War..."
As he spoke, he carefully observed Kamihane's expression. Seeing that the other party didn't interrupt him, he felt slightly relieved.
So... his judgnt was correct...
"Anything else?" Kamihane suddenly asked.
Nian took a deep breath and said, "How could a commander in the army be a deserter? If a father with such power was a deserter, Konoha's main battlefield would have been defeated long ago!"
"But according to my investigation, Konoha won a complete victory in the war, whether it was the main battlefield or the border defense line!"
Nian beca more and more excited as he spoke, and his desolate voice rged into the wind, echoing in the plains:
"So, the only possibility is that my father's heroic performance was envied, leading to him being frad by villains, and soone usurped his achievents and used so... so shady thods to force him to death."
When he said the last few words, his voice trembled slightly, and he almost couldn't control his emotions. "The only thing I don't understand is, whose interests did he touch, and even the Uchiha clan has a great hatred for him..."
Kamihane was silent for a while before speaking: "The process is similar, but the results have so errors."
He stood side by side with Nian, his calm voice containing a hint of sarcasm:
"The people in Konoha didn't want the Uchiha clan to beco the true rulers, and they wouldn't allow the Uchiha to beco Hokage. So they started to form factions, using a mission as an opportunity to incite the foolish people, and promote Kagami as an extrely sinful and selfish ghost, and unite the entire village to isolate the Uchiha clan..."
"The Uchiha at that ti was extrely weak and contradictory. They clearly claid to be extraordinary but didn't have the courage to rebel. They needed the pitiful and insignificant recognition from the village, so they couldn't withstand the pressure and could only cooperate with the Konoha leaders to brainwash the public. At this ti, Uchiha Kagami had to die to wash away the sha of the Uchiha..."
"Who cares if you are a hero? The peace treaty has been signed, and all countries have almost exhausted their reserves for the next few years in the Ninja War. The Land of Wind's Sand Village is already poor, and it doesn't matter if they develop for a few years. There won't be any military expansion, so... Uchiha Kagami has no value anymore."
"Everyone was looking forward to his death, because his death was related to everyone's interests..."
Nian's lips trembled. If that was the case, then he could understand why he had suffered so much injustice since he was a child.
"So, Konoha executed him?" He asked, looking up, his eyes wet.
"No." Kamihane carried his hands on his back, his tone calm. "I killed him."
"..."
"!!!"
Nian suddenly widened his eyes, staring at Kamihane in disbelief. His figure was aloof and lonely, and the moonlight outlined a cold arc for him. Nian thought that Senior was so... unfamiliar.
"Don't you ask why?" Kamihane asked.
"Senior once said that he did sothing to offend you." Nian said in a trembling voice.
Kamihane looked at him with surprise, and a smile was squeezed out of his thin lips. "Your reaction is not right. Shouldn't you be attacking with all your might? Or did reason suppress your sensibility, and you think you can't beat ?"
"Senior is joking." Nian opened his mouth, but didn't say anything more, and could only silently say in his heart:
'Compared to the unfelt fatherly love, what I care more about... is your expectations.'
The breeze stirred, and a fallen leaf slowly flew across, landing on Nian's head.
Kamihane pointed to the giant tree in front of the two of them: "Twelve years ago, this place was a bare plain. It was here that I took his eyes, and the giant tree and sea of flowers you see are all transford from his body."
