Konoha's Immortal Disciple

Chapter 81 Itachi

The training ground was surrounded by many trees, and each tree carried a target. After being hit by Shuriken Kunai countless times, the body of the target was already scarred.

It has been a long time since Hoshino has been here. Practicing the basic skills of shuriken is a matter of childhood. His main course now is the use of chakra.

"I hope it's not my hallucinations, Senior Itachi." Hoshino Shu sat on a wooden pier and spoke leisurely. There was no one around, and he seemed to be talking to the air.

"Ga! Ga!" The crow's harsh cry came from the sky, and a large group of crows gathered in front of the Hoshino Tree. Uchiha Itachi.

"What do you want from me?" Hoshino asked.

In the fight just now, taking advantage of the moment Hoshino Shu looked at Itachi, Itachi told Hoshino Shu in the form of Sharingan and illusion that he would use his clone to come here for a meeting.

"I haven't been back to Konoha for a long time, and I want to ask you something. My identity is not convenient for me to investigate." Itachi said.

"You don't seem to be against me, a rebellious butcher with blood on his hands." It was precisely because of this curiosity that he came up with the idea of ​​asking Itachi to arrange this meeting.

"I'm not from the Uchiha family, I can't hate you, and I don't know anything." Hoshino replied.

A trace of loneliness flashed in Itachi's eyes. Regarding this so-called truth, he would rather no one would know. He didn't need to understand. Since he has embarked on this dark road leading to the light, he is ready to bear everything .

He didn't intend to ask how Hoshino knew. The world of ninjas is inherently complicated, just like he can't explain himself.

"You came back to take a look because of Danzo's death. After all, he was one of the few people who knew the truth, and once Danzo died, the leader of the next root has not yet been selected. Sasuke, under the protection of three generations, It will be quite safe."

Itachi stared at Hoshino, he felt that he still underestimated this child. He originally planned to ask him some very common questions, such as Sasuke's recent situation, but unexpectedly, he was dragged out of these deep-seated and heavy-hearted things. thing.

"How is Sasuke?" Itachi asked the question he was most concerned about.

"As you expected, I used killing you as the driving force to move forward, forcing myself to improve. I am excellent and work very hard. I am the number one rookie of their class."

As a student who graduated early, Hoshino Shu didn't count himself in.

Itachi didn't care about these compliments. Adjectives such as first newcomer, outstanding, or even unborn genius were not worth mentioning in his opinion. What he cared about was Sasuke's mental state.

"That's good." Itachi said lightly.

"But he can't think at a high level like you. He often appears willful and naive." Hoshino Shu said in a teasing tone, not a criticism.

It is also like the teacher in the school reports the current situation of the students in the school to the parents who have been working outside for many years.

But that's what Itachi likes to hear.

Hearing this, Itachi showed a very shallow smile, almost imperceptible.

"That's how Sasuke is."

"Let's stop here about Sasuke first..." Itachi was already very satisfied after hearing this.

He looked up and recalled that almost every time he came to the training ground, he could see Hoshino Shu who was sweating profusely and even collapsed on the ground. At that time, he only thought that this foreign child was a worthy A potential new star, but based on the information he knows, it can be guessed that the identity of this child is extremely special.

But Itachi didn't have time to review the past with him slowly, and then understand his life experience, he asked directly:
"I want to know how much more you know, and... where you stand."

Hoshino Shu was not surprised that Itachi would ask such a question. After all, although the information he said was insignificant to a traveler, it was only understood by a very small number of Konoha upper-level people here.

His idea was to take this opportunity to attract Itachi's attention, and then do more things.

"It's hard to explain to you, but it can be said that I know everything the Great Toad Immortal knows." In front of Itachi, Hoshino Shu didn't have to hide himself.

"Big Toad Immortal..." Itachi thought about the meaning.

"And my position." Hoshino Shu paused, as if thinking and making up his mind.

"It's to protect Jiraiya." There seemed to be fire in his eyes, and he and Itachi's Sharingan looked at each other.

Itachi was silent for a while, feeling something touched in his heart.

"Protect Konoha, protect Sasuke." Itachi closed his eyes for a few seconds and opened them again. This reason was enough for him to believe in Hoshino.

"It's getting late, maintaining a clone in this state is a very distracting thing, Shu, I'll ask you one last thing."

Half of Itachi's body turned into a crow, and the outlines of the characters were blurred, as if they were going to disappear in place immediately.

"Do you know where Shisui's Sharingan is now?"

Hoshino thought for a while, and then replied: "I was not at the scene when Danzo died, and I heard that before Danzo died, only the third-generation grandfather stayed by his side for a long time. I guess, Danzo absolutely He entrusted Sharingan to the third generation."

Itachi smiled. For some reason, he suddenly felt that his burden was much lighter. He realized in a trance that Konoha was not guarded by him alone. That part.

A gentle forest wind blew through the woods, knocking off leaves and lingering in front of Weasel's eyes.

"Where the leaves are flying, the fire is always alive." Itachi suddenly remembered this word he had heard often before, and it had not been mentioned for many years, but he remembered it again.

After learning about the whereabouts of Zhishui's eyes, he now has something new to worry about.

Today, every Sharingan is the coveted object of all the ambitious people behind the scenes, not to mention the eyes of Zhishui—the powerful kaleidoscope Sharingan, which is also the relic of his best friend and something he must protect .

The masked man who claimed to be Uchiha Madara would never let go of any kaleidoscope sharingan. After the kaleidoscope sharingan with the ability of other gods fell into his hands, the consequences would be disastrous.

He has a new and specific goal to work towards.

"You haven't laughed for a long time." Hoshino Shu laughed.

Itachi smiled and replied: "In that organization, they used to regard me as a traitor with bitter hatred and deep hatred. My maintenance of this image also has a deterrent effect."

Itachi's body turned into a crow and floated into the air little by little, and Hoshino tree looked up to watch him leave.

"Thank you, Tree."
