Konoha Ninja Wants an Ordinary Life

Uchiha Itachi is an absolute genius, a true genius, a genius in every sense of the word, so he became a real ninja, and his life perfectly interpreted what Senju Hashirama said.

“A ninja is someone who endures everything and dances with it.”

When I looked up at the moonscape, I looked up at the moon. The man-made celestial body that sealed the ancestor of chakra was still reflecting the sun's light, casting a cold light on the earth.

"Senior, do you like to look at the moon?" Uchiha Itachi asked in a low voice while chewing the pills.

When looking at the moonscape, he turned his head and looked at the light a foot away from them, and replied: "It's just a habit. After all, I still like darker places, so that I will be safer when performing tasks. That’s why I try to look up at the moon and calculate how many days there are until it’s a moonless night.”

"I see." Itachi Uchiha squatted on a branch, his scarlet eyes staring closely at the sleeping target they were protecting this time, "It's just that there is no moonlight, and we walking in the dark may accidentally fall into a trap. among,"

He smiled slightly while looking at the moonscape, but while smiling, he deliberately turned away his head and plunged his gaze into the boundless darkness. He said unhurriedly: "You are indeed right, but this is not the reason why we people can bathe in the light. , you have to understand that darkness represents the unknown, darkness represents secrets, and darkness also represents fear. Therefore, in order for most people to walk under the sun, someone must stand in the darkness and protect them to live and work in peace and contentment. Just like what we are doing now, we are protecting this big man when he goes to the Country of Tang, so that they can eat the best barbecue by the fire safely, while we can only chew the cold soldiers' grain pills, in this In this world, there are always people who have to make sacrifices, whether actively or passively.”

As the moon was obscured by clouds, when Uchiha Itachi looked at the moon-watching scene that had completely merged with the darkness, his mind could not help but flash back to what Hiruzen Sarutobi told him before he became an Anbu.

That was what happened when he went to the Hokage's office to be interviewed by Hiruzen Sarutobi after he passed the Chunin Exam.

As soon as the neatly dressed Uchiha stepped into the Hokage's office, he saw the Third Hokage standing alone by the window looking at Hokage Rock.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was wearing a god robe and a bamboo hat with the word "fire" written on it, heard someone walking in. He quickly turned his head and saw that the person who came was Uchiha Itachi, and a kind look appeared on his face. smile.

He immediately waved his hand, signaling Itachi Uchiha to come to him.

Uchiha Itachi didn't hesitate and walked up to Sarutobi Hiruzen without any precautions.

The Third Hokage held a pipe in his hand and said with a smile on his face: "Itachi, first of all, I would like to congratulate you on becoming a qualified chuunin. Secondly, I welcome you to join the ANBU."

"Did father mention ANBU to Hokage-sama?" Uchiha Itachi asked with some confusion.

"Yes, Fugaku came over and told me about this in person yesterday. We all agreed that you will become a qualified Anbu." Sarutobi Hiruzen said while thinking about yesterday's meeting, "But, it depends. It's your own decision, if you don't want to join, we will never force you."

Itachi shook his head and replied with a firm voice: "I want to join ANBU."

"Okay." The smile on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face grew wider, and he immediately said, "Then Itachi, I will issue the first mission to you, the ANBU."

"Please speak directly, Hokage-sama."

The Third Hokage did not hesitate and said directly: "I need you to monitor someone. You also know this person, it is Mozuki Jingshi."

Uchiha Itachi's heart surged, but he didn't understand what was wrong with the senior who was always smiling.

Sarutobi Hiruzen also understood Uchiha Itachi's doubts, and also learned from Uchiha Shisui that the relationship between Mochizuki Kage and Uchiha Itachi was more than just ordinary friends, so he explained: "During our investigation , Mochizuki Jingshi has a certain connection with the rebel ninja Orochimaru, but we haven’t found conclusive evidence yet, so I hope you can monitor him, and the specific method is that you and him form a fixed team."

Uchiha Itachi hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly.

Time turned back to reality, Uchiha Itachi thought to himself: "Are you really Orochimaru's spy, senior?"

It was impossible to hear his thoughts while looking at the moonscape, and there was no time to listen to his thoughts because there were guests coming to the door.

Naturally, the visitor this time will not be a good person. After all, no good person would rush in front of the host with a knife and a gun in his hand at night.

Under the cold moonlight, on a windless night, the rustling sounds caused by the friction between leaves were getting closer and closer. Along with these friction sounds, there was another sound, the sound of a sword being unsheathed.

"The enemy is a regular ninja, you have to pay attention." Mochizuki Jingshi turned and hid behind a tree, and then took out a flare from his waist.

With a long blast, blue fireworks bloomed in the dark night sky, shocking the people around the fire to scream in surprise. For a moment, the voices of people and the sounds of horses were intertwined.

However, this signal flare not only reminded the people protected by Moon View, but also reminded the enemies of Moon View. At the moment when the signal flare was launched, the rustling sound had disappeared, replaced by the overwhelming sound of tree branches.

"above"

As soon as I looked up at the moonscape, I saw several black figures appearing in the sky together, trying to cross the moonscape and pierce into the belly of the camp.

"Fire Release Impatiens flower claws are red."

The shurikens wrapped in flames flew towards those figures, forcing the assassins to disperse their formation.

But what these people didn't expect was that the shurikens that collided together and experienced several collisions had quietly appeared in the blind spot of their vision, and then pierced their bodies fiercely.

"what"

Following several screams, the people fell down from the air and fell to the ground.

When looking at the moon view, he mentally gave a thumbs up to Uchiha Itachi's excellent shuriken throwing skills. He glanced at the short figure with a smile, and then looked very calmly in front of him, making seals with his hands without hesitation. .

"The technique of escaping the waterfall by water."

The words were accompanied by a raging tide. The width of the boundless water reached about ten meters, and the waves almost submerged the tops of the branches.

And water escape on this scale is just the beginning, the beginning of a massacre.
