She knew his secret as well as he knew she knew his secret. It was a silent understanding and a heavy burden. Suzaku, the ring symbolizing Akatsuki, was firmly on his finger.

It seemed like an inescapable shackles. Su Yue saw the ring clearly, and also saw the helplessness and determination in his eyes.

She knew that once they put on that ring, it meant that they could no longer look back, and that secret would become the heaviest burden in their lives. Has he ever thought that if one day, Sasuke could kill him with his own hands, he would

Can we be freed from this endless pain?

Uchiha Itachi's eyes suddenly became sharp, and the red Sharingan flashed with a cold light. He challenged Su Yue, his voice was firm and cold: "Draw your sword, and fight me with your Seven Kills Sword."

Fight, I will fight it quickly, I don’t want to wait for Konoha’s pursuers to arrive and cause more trouble.”

Su Yue looked at the killing knife in her hand, but did not move it. She was unwilling to use the knife on her friend, let alone be his enemy in this situation. She shook her head gently and said

He gave his own reason: "Uchiha Itachi, I won't fight you. I can't beat you."

However, Uchiha Itachi didn't seem to appreciate it, and his tone became more threatening: "Aren't you very powerful? Even Orochimaru had the spiritual veins in his hands cut off by you. With your strength, you don't have to do it in front of me.

Are you hiding it? Or do you think I'm pitiful now and are you using your own way to let me live?"

Su Yue remained calm, and there was no wave in her eyes. She replied calmly: "No." Although her voice was soft, it revealed a kind of firmness and determination.

Uchiha Itachi's eyes flashed with disappointment and anger. He stared at Su Yue closely, as if he wanted to see through her heart. There was an obvious scratch on the forehead protector on his forehead, which was a sign of rebellion.

He narrated this fact coldly: "Did you see the forehead protector I wore on my forehead? There is a scratch on it. This is the sign of a traitor! A traitor is a heinous person!"

His voice was cold and cruel, and his blood-red eyes revealed an expression of indifference to the world. He seemed to have seen through everything in the world, and was no longer afraid of his own destiny. However, deep in his heart,

, is there still a glimmer of hope and reluctance?

Su Yue looked at him quietly, her heart full of complexity and helplessness. She knew that the battle between them was inevitable, but she was still unwilling to be his enemy. She took a deep breath and slowly

He tightened his grip on the handle of the knife in his hand.

"Itachi, I don't want to be your enemy." Su Yue's voice revealed a trace of bitterness, "But if this is your choice, I will respect you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yue's figure had disappeared from the place, leaving only an afterimage. A trace of surprise flashed in Uchiha Itachi's eyes, and he quickly turned around to deal with Su Yue's attack. The two figures passed each other in the air.

, bringing up a strong wind.

Their battle was extremely fierce, and every attack was full of power and speed. However, in this battle, neither of them used their full strength, as if they were testing each other's strength and bottom line. Their eyes were full of complexity and entanglement.

, as if looking for some kind of relief in this battle.

As time passed, their battle gradually entered a fierce stage. However, at this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the distance. Konoha's pursuers had discovered their traces and were approaching quickly.

Uchiha Itachi and Su Yue stopped attacking at the same time. They looked at each other, as if they understood each other's thoughts. They did not want to be discovered by the people of Konoha, let alone cause greater trouble.

"Let's go." Uchiha Itachi glanced deeply at Su Yue, turned around and disappeared into the woods. Su Yue followed closely, and the two disappeared into the dense woods together. Although their battle was short but fierce

, but there was no winner or loser. Maybe for them, this battle itself was a kind of relief and release.

As the two left, the woods returned to silence again. Only the shouts and footsteps of Konoha's pursuers in the distance still echoed in the air, as if to remind people that a fierce battle had just occurred here.
