Konoha's Itachi Reappearance

Chapter 380 Heading to the Iron Country

375 chapter

"Mom, we're here, go back quickly."

Naruto and Kushina walked in front of the Itachi three, the former turned his head and said impatiently.

Out of worry about Naruto's first mission out of the village, as a mother, Kushina wanted to send him off no matter what.

Naruto, however, did not want to accept such concern.

Especially since Hinata and Sai's parents didn't come, Kushina is really shameless standing here now.

"you shut up."

But how could Kushina listen to him, put his hand on Naruto's head, and said to Itachi, "Itachi, long time no see."

Her eyes are gentle, and on Jiuxinna's side, Itachi can be regarded as growing up under her watch.

Kushina and Mikoto are good friends, so in her eyes, Itachi is her child.

"Long time no see, Aunt Kushina."

Itachi responded that during the two years when he was in a coma when he was a child, not only Mikoto and Izumi took care of him, but Kushina also took care of him a lot.

"Naruto will leave it to you. This kid has been reckless since he was a child, and you know his character well. This is the first time he has left the village to perform a mission, so I'll trouble you to pay more attention."

"Mom, I'm a real ninja now anyway, don't keep treating me like a child, okay?"

Naruto curled his lips in displeasure.

"A real ninja, you are still far behind."

But his words can only be dismissed by Jiu Xinnai.

Moreover, Naruto didn't dare to say any more rebuttal words.
"Don't worry, Naruto is also a very good ninja, there will be no problem." Seeing this, Itachi nodded.

"Thank you then."

Kushina's personality is the same as Naruto's, and he is very detached. After thanking Itachi, his eyes quickly turned to Sai and Hinata beside Itachi.

"You are Hinata and Sai, right?"

Kushina raised her eyebrows, and she was also clear about the composition of Naruto's team members.

"Well, auntie!"

Hinata bowed politely to Kushina with her soft voice.

Sai, on the other hand, nodded lightly in a relatively flat manner.

But Kushina wouldn't care about such things.

She stared at Hinata's fair face and said, "What a cute little girl."

Hinata was slightly stunned, and Kushina's gaze immediately turned to Sai again.

"This kid looks a bit like Sasuke."

Kushina stroked her chin with her hand, and looked back at Itachi.

And it does.

Before Itachi could reply, Kushina turned her gaze back, looked at Hinata and Sai, and said solemnly.

"You should be good friends with my Naruto, right? For the task, we must work together!"

Although Kushina is worried about Naruto's reckless behavior, she is quite confident in her son's character.

"Okay, Mom, I don't have time. You will delay our departure time."

Naruto finally couldn't hold it anymore, and yelled at Kushina in a low voice.

But as soon as he said it, he regretted it
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead for an instant, and Kushina, who heard his roar, turned her head slowly.

"Mom, I."

Naruto looked terrified and quickly explained.

But Jiu Xinna was not angry, she looked calm and said, "Sorry, I understand."

Then, under Naruto's stunned gaze, Kushina smiled at him.

"Come on, Naruto, you must complete the task smoothly!"

Of course, Kushina didn't want to hurt Naruto's confidence as a ninja. Everything she did before was out of a mother's worry about her son.

But at the same time, she used to be the ninja of the village, so of course she knows what is the most important thing for ninjas.

That is the pride and pride of being a ninja.

As long as you have these, no matter what kind of difficulties you face, you can overcome them and finally complete the task smoothly.

Her smile infected Naruto, and immediately the same clean and hearty smile appeared on the latter's face.

"Well, put it on me!"

Itachi watched the scene quietly from the side.

Although the way of expression is different, but every time before he leaves home to perform missions, Mikoto's eyes and mood are no different from Kushina's.

Erxingqianlimu is worried, no matter what level of strength Itachi or the future Naruto has reached, but the mission of the ninja is accompanied by risks, they will always be worried.

In order to reduce the worry in the mother's heart, what they can do is to do their best to complete each task and return safely.

"Aunt Jiushina, let's go!"

After Itachi finished speaking, he led Naruto, Sai, and Hinata quickly out of Konoha's gate.

Jiuxinna was standing in the gate with her hands on her chest. She was always carefree, but now she was frowning slightly, and her beautiful face was full of worry.

She watched the figures of the four gradually recede until they completely disappeared into the dense forest.

Even if it was just a C-level task like escorting the secret letter, Itachi led the three members of the seventh class and did not take it lightly.

At the highest average speed that Naruto, Hinata, and Sai can maintain now, it will take about two days to reach the border of Fire Nation.

After nearly half of the journey, it was completely dark.

Itachi ordered the three to stop and spend the night in a cave in a rocky mountain.

In the cave, a bonfire was raised, and Itachi and three students sat around.

They eat the most common dry food in the ninja world, which is dry and astringent.

In the ninja school, although they had already tasted this kind of dry food that could be carried for a long time, no one had used it to fill their stomachs at that time.

Some children are difficult to accept at first, but this situation did not appear in Naruto, Hinata, and Sai.

They finished their dinner quickly, and then had nothing to do, chatting with each other.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

During the chat, Naruto did not forget the task.

He spontaneously summoned several shadow clones, and then scattered them around the stone mountain.

Although in the land of fire, it is almost impossible for other forces to snatch the secret letter from them.

Moreover, the C-level mission secret letter itself is not that important.

But for Naruto and the others, this was the first time they went out of the village to perform a mission.

It is necessary to develop the habit of being alert at all times.

Itachi was quite relieved that although Naruto was not good at theory, his brain was not bad at all in combat and actual tasks.

"You can't just let Naruto-kun be in charge of security alone, Mr. Itachi, please arrange the order of night security duty."

Hinata said that as a young lady from the Hyuga family, even though this is only her first time actually performing a mission.

However, the details and procedures for performing most of the common tasks, according to the tutoring of the Hyuga clan, naturally taught them long ago.
