The blackening of the heavens begins with Hokage

At the same time, after Li Yaoxiang left the Hokage Tower.

In the mission reception desk.

Also welcomed the arrival of Uchiha Itachi.

However, when he heard that someone specifically named him and asked him to complete the task, he got into some trouble.

The person at the mission reception desk: "Uchiha Itachi, you have to know that this is the rule of the village. No matter how good your results are, genin cannot go out alone to take on the mission. You must choose your own teammates."

At this time, Uchiha Itachi had just opened his Sharingan.

That was when all his teammates on the team were killed not long ago.

At the same time, it was also the time when he was disappointed with his father's attitude, because his father Uchiha Fugaku didn't care at all about the death of his teammates, and was only proud of him for opening the Sharingan so early.

Because of this, Uchiha Itachi's temperament became a little cold during this period.

"No need."

"I can get it done on my own."

Person at the mission reception desk: “But, but this is completely against the rules.”

Before the person at the mission reception desk could finish his words, someone suddenly appeared in the room.

This man also wore the Uchiha clan's standard high-collar clothing and a triangular protective gear.

This person is Uchiha Shisui.

Not long after Uchiha Shisui appeared, he came behind Uchiha Itachi, patted him on the shoulder, and then said to the person at the mission reception desk: "Itachi and I will take on this mission together, and it should be fine."

After Uchiha Itachi saw that the person coming was Shisui, his originally cold expression became much softer: "Brother Shisui"

The two looked at each other.

nodded.

Then he looked at the person at the mission reception desk, waiting for his answer.

And the results are very clear.

With Uchiha Shisui leading the team, the people at the mission reception desk will not look for trouble and offend the Uchiha clan: "Hahaha, okay, okay. I will hand over your message right now. "

The matter is settled.

The two of them left the mission reception area.

Walk side by side on the street.

Shisui: "Itachi, I understand how you feel. But since our companions sacrificed their lives for you, then we should live better. Work together with them. Let's protect this beautiful home together. I hope You can understand this."

compared to others.

Uchiha Itachi's attitude towards Shisui was obviously much better.

He didn't answer.

But he was seriously thinking about the meaning of Brother Shisui's words.

Shisui didn't bother him.

After a while, Shisui continued: "I will not carry out this mission with you. I will hide in secret and observe carefully. I hope your performance will not disappoint me."

The next morning.

Li Yaoxiang packed his bags.

Carrying a large cloth bag.

Then he set off to wait at the mission reception desk.

It didn't take long.

He soon met Uchiha Itachi as a child and arrived on time.

Seeing Uchiha Itachi, Li Yaoxiang walked up immediately: "Looking at your clothes, you should be Uchiha Itachi. Hello, I am your client this time, Li Yaoxiang. Please give me your advice."

Li Yaoxiang stretched out his right hand, wanting to shake hands with Uchiha Itachi.

Li Yaoxiang originally expected to be rejected, but unexpectedly, Itachi Uchiha actually shook hands with him and thanked him kindly.

"Hello, I am Itachi Uchiha."

"Thank you for your trust in me and naming me to take on this mission."

"I will definitely escort you to your destination safely."

This scene made Li Yaoxiang slightly surprised.

He was familiar with the original work, but he knew very well that during this period, Uchiha Itachi's character had become much colder after experiencing the death of all his teammates.This made him somewhat confused as to why Uchiha Itachi was so friendly to him.

"Okay, okay, okay" After several consecutive praises, Li Yaoxiang continued, "Well, you are the only one."

Seeing Uchiha Itachi alone made him feel a little strange.

As far as he knew, according to Konoha's rules, Uchiha Itachi, who was still a genin, should not be allowed to take on a mission out of the village alone.

Uchiha Itachi said with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, Mr. Li. Your mission is just a C-level escort mission. I can complete it successfully by myself. There won't be any problems."

Hearing Uchiha Itachi say this, Li Yaoxiang was still a little worried.

It's not that he doesn't worry about Uchiha Itachi's abilities.

But he was worried that there would be a jounin hiding in the distance, secretly protecting the genin Uchiha Itachi.

Avoid arousing suspicion in others.

Before completely leaving the sight of these ninjas, Li Yaoxiang decided to continue to maintain his honest appearance.

"Hahaha, you are a famous genius ninja in the village, how could I not be worried?"

"Don't get me wrong. I'm just curious."

"And I didn't offend anyone. I specifically entrusted you with this mission. I just wanted to get to know you better."

"hope you do not mind."

Uchiha Itachi smiled and said he didn't mind.

The reason why he was so friendly towards Li Yaoxiang was because he didn't want to disappoint Zhishui.

He knew Shisui was nearby, watching him.

Therefore, facing the customer Li Yaoxiang, he tried his best to show a friendly attitude.

After the brief exchange, the two walked out of the village.

Leaf Village.

root base.

This place is underground in a hidden place in Konoha Village.

There are huge tree roots all around.

The air is filled with the thick, moist smell of earth.

At this time, Shimura Danzo was in the base, handling some of his daily official duties.

At this moment, a root ninja with a coughing sound came to Shimura Danzo and reported to him: "Ahem, Danzo-sama, someone just reported that a villager has been approved by the Third Hokage. Just about to leave the village."

Danzo Shimura stopped what he was doing.

His expression became a little angry, and he questioned: "Is Hiruzen getting more confused as he gets older? How can he just let people leave the village?"

"Who left the village?"

Root Ninja: "Ahem, his name is Li Yaoxiang"

Then the root ninja, who coughed from time to time, truthfully told Li Yaoxiang's message and what happened not long ago.

Even the fact that Li Yaoxiang entrusted ninjas with escort missions was no exception.

After hearing this, Danzo Shimura's expression became even more gloomy.

He didn't care whether Li Yaoxiang was innocent in this matter.

As long as there is a slight possibility of becoming an unstable factor, Shimura Danzo would rather kill the wrong person than let it go. Moreover, as long as Li Yaoxiang dies just after leaving the village, it will also let the people of Konoha know how dangerous the outside world is.

Don't follow suit, they all want to leave Konoha.

"Who took over this mission?"

"It's Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui."

Hearing that these two people were taking over the mission, Danzo Shimura's expression became a little ugly.

He knew very well that these two people could not move for the time being.

If you are not careful, the Uchiha clan may immediately rebel.

He didn't want to take this risk before the village was fully prepared.

"There is no need to attack the Uchiha clan. You send people to stop them for a while and see if there is a chance to kill that Li Yaoxiang. If he really escapes into the town, then forget it."

The reason for this choice is that once he enters the city of the Kingdom of Fire, he cannot do anything at will.

Otherwise, it will be a troublesome thing to pursue.

You know, in today's Ninja Village, even if you are qualified to be the village's Kage, you still need the consent of the daimyo.

"Cough, cough, cough, yes"
