Konoha's Itachi Reappearance

Chapter 400 The Origin of the Scroll
395 chapter

"It's you!"

Beside the waterfall, the young man who was forming seals stopped and immediately recognized Itachi.

After all, this black-haired young man is the only ninja he has seen so far.

"Is it wrong?"

Regarding what Itachi said, the boy just whispered in his heart, and it didn't seem strange.

He started practicing ninjutsu just according to the information on the broken scroll. It was normal for him to find out that there were problems in the method.

But the teenager didn't struggle too much with this issue.

"Why are you here?"

The boy frowned slightly. The last time he was practicing ninjutsu and almost touched Itachi by accident, it was a coincidence, but this time, Itachi obviously appeared here on purpose.

"Quite a sharp mind."

Itachi could tell that this commoner boy from the Iron Country had a longing for ninjas, but when he pointed out that his practice method was wrong, the boy didn't care about this issue first, but immediately noticed Itachi's intentions.

If the boy in front of him could have been trained by the ninja school system since he was a child, I believe he is already a very good ninja at his age.

Without any basic practice, you can condense chakra by yourself, practice ninjutsu and practice it well, which requires a strong ninjutsu talent.

Now that the boy has been able to notice that Itachi came here for a purpose, it is not difficult to guess the purpose.

So Itachi stopped beating around the bush, and said directly: "I came here specially to find you, because it records the ninjutsu scroll you practiced in Water Dungeon."

"Don't worry, I'm not here to grab the scroll."

"Is the scroll something from your village?"

The boy's expression froze, but he still believed what Itachi said.

The reason is simple, if Itachi covets the scroll and wants to take it away, he can just resort to force, there is no need to lie.

The last time he met and parted with Itachi, the latter had specifically reminded him to be safe.

"I want to know, where did you get your scroll?" Itachi asked.

The boy shook his head and replied: "The scroll belongs to my grandfather, I don't know where it came from."

Then, he added nervously: "My grandfather was just an ordinary civilian all his life. He didn't even have Chakra. He couldn't have stolen the scroll."

"I know."

Itachi said, in fact, the boy's explanation is a bit redundant.

If the ninjutsu scroll was stolen, how could Konoha Ninja not notice it.

Suddenly, the boy stared at Itachi on a whim, and said, "You haven't been to my house, have you?"

Itachi nodded.

"It's so cool!"

The boy's eyes suddenly lit up, and he didn't show any grudges caused by being spied on.

In his opinion, the ninja's whereabouts come and go without a trace, handsome mess.

"Can you come with me to meet your grandfather, I want to know the origin of the scroll, which is very important to our village." Itachi said.

After pondering for a while, the young man smiled and said, "Yes, good!"

"Are you going now?"

"Ah."

The two talked again, and then Itachi came to the boy's side, wanting to take him on the road, which would save time.

"I can do it myself."

But the boy said to Itachi.

"Ok."

Itachi respected his wishes, and then the two rushed towards the village where the boy's home was located.

Although the boy's running speed is already very fast, there is still a big difference from the way a real ninja runs.

Especially when traveling through a large area of ​​woods, the running speed is far inferior to jumping on the tree.

But this requires a certain skill.

At the beginning, Itachi ran with the boy.

When he reached the depths of the woods, in a densely wooded area, the ferret jumped lightly, landed on a tree trunk, then tapped his toes slightly, his figure swept out, smoothly crossed several trees, and landed on another tree on the tree trunk.

The boy beside him noticed what Itachi had just done.

He slowed down a little, recalled the essentials of Itachi's body movements just now, and followed suit.

The key to this jumping technique lies in the movement of the legs. As for the explosive power, a boy with not weak chakra has no problem at all.

The first time, the boy only jumped over one tree, staggered on the trunk of the second tree, and almost fell down.

After stabilizing his figure, he continued to move.

After going back and forth like this for about a dozen times, the boy's movements gradually became more proficient.

Then, he quickly followed the slowing Itachi.

Compared with the previous time, because the boy's movements became more agile, it only took the two of them about 10 minutes to reach the village.

In order not to attract the attention of so many villagers, Itachi bypassed the main road of the village and went directly to the courtyard of the boy's house.

When the boy came over, the two walked into the courtyard together.

At this time, the teenager's parents were still busy with farm work, so they were not at home.

"wait for me."

The boy said to Itachi, and walked quickly into the wooden house.

Soon, he walked out with the help of his grandfather.

At this time, the old man's face was full of shock, and Itachi had heard just now that the young man had already told him that Itachi was a Konoha ninja on the way out with the help of the young man.

"Sorry to bother you."

Faced with elders, even commoners, Itachi is quite respectful.

Itachi's attitude surprised the old man. He had seen the ninjas of Yunin Village when he was young.

Of course, the ninjas of Cloud Ninja Village would not do anything to bully common people and weak people, but their attitude of speaking was very domineering and quite domineering.

"Master Ninja, what can you do to find me?" the old man asked modestly.

"I can't afford to be called you. My name is Itachi. You can just call me by my name."

Itachi asked, "Do you have a broken ninjutsu scroll?"

The old man first looked at his grandson beside him, frowned with gray brows, and replied, "Yes, but I didn't know that the scroll belonged to Muye Village."

As he spoke, the boy took out the broken ninjutsu scroll from his pocket.

Itachi chuckled lightly: "Don't worry, I didn't come here to get the scroll back, and I didn't mean to ask for responsibility."

"I just want to ask you, where did you get the scroll?"

"Well, let me think about it."

Only then did the old man breathe a sigh of relief, because he was getting old and the time was a little long ago, so he had to think back first.

After a while, the old man replied: "I picked it up."

"Do you still remember where you picked it up?" Itachi's eyes trembled slightly, and he asked immediately.

The old man nodded. When recalling the origin of the scroll just now, he also recalled the events of his youth.

"On the border of the Kingdom of the Moon, the specific location is probably in a valley on the border with the Kingdom of Thunder."
