[NARUTO] Night of the Full Moon

"Look at this stone tablet." As if to prove his words, Kakashi walked towards a stone tablet behind the bushes with names engraved on it. "The names left on it are all the heroes of Konoha."

Naruto became excited instantly: "Oh oh oh, the hero's stone tablet has been decided! My next goal is to engrave my name on it too!"

But Sasuke frowned. The shape of the stone tablet reminded him of something bad.

Kakashi looked back at Naruto and then said: "But this is no ordinary stone tablet. The people engraved here are all dead people. These are... heroes who died in the line of duty."

Naruto fell silent.The suddenly heavy topic made him a little overwhelmed.

"This is the commemorative monument, and my friend's name is also on it." Kakashi raised his hand and brushed an engraving that showed signs of age, and his tone seemed to have been washed away by time, but the sadness remained fresh forever.

Sure enough, this world is not entirely peaceful.

Sasuke followed Kakashi's movements and looked over, and his pupils shrank when he saw the name clearly.I saw it read: Uchiha Obito.

A thought that flashed across his mind made Sasuke immediately ask: "Teacher, is your friend Uchiha Obito?"

"Yes." Kakashi lowered his eyes, as if remembering, "We were trapped in a cave by the enemy, and in order to save me, he was pressed under a boulder. In the end, the cave completely collapsed... His body was not found. "

it's him!

On this stone tablet are the names of ninjas whose bodies were not found.Judging by the age of the carvings, there was only one Uchiha, Obito, in 50 years.

Among the openly rebellious ninja, the only Uchiha who has not yet been solved is Uchiha Itachi.

Itachi said that night that if he could open the Mangekyō Sharingan in the future, there would be three people in the world who had Mangekyō.Another guy who had a kaleidoscope but was not killed by Itachi was probably an accomplice in the genocide... It could only be this Uchiha Obito!

Since he is Kakashi's friend, he must be about the same age.The year the clan was exterminated, he was already 21 or [-] years old, so he was... fully capable of taking action.

"What kind of person is he?"

"Are you interested in him?" Kakashi turned around and sat across from them.

"After all, he is a member of my clan." As an orphan of Uchiha, it seems normal to be interested in his former clan members.

"He is... a very brave person and very caring. He always helps the old lady, and he also wants to save the cat lying on the tree and unable to get down." Kakashi's voice was low, recalling the past. His appearance was completely different from the laziness he pretended to be. "He always liked to cry, and when he was found, he yelled that it was just sand in his eyes. He was obviously wearing goggles."

"But this guy who was afraid of pain and loved to cry didn't shed a single tear when half of his body was crushed by a boulder."

The alarm clock rang at twelve o'clock, breaking the solemnity of the moment.

"In short, the career of a ninja is always full of such accidents. Now that you have become genin, you must have the courage to face everything." Kakashi picked up his alarm clock, "That's it for today, disband."

"Is being a ninja... such a cruel thing?" Sakura murmured. It seemed that she had not been prepared for this before.

"Hahaha, don't worry. What the teacher said happened more than ten years ago! It's not that dangerous now." Naruto comforted, "And we will all be teammates in the same class from now on. Sasuke and I will protect you." .”

"Thank you." Sakura cheered up, "I will also work hard to train. Today I have seen the gap between me and you, and I have to work hard."

Sasuke nodded, not wanting to answer the question for the moment.

This Uchiha Obito is also described by Kakashi as a very gentle person.If he was really the accomplice of the genocide, what caused their temperament to change drastically.Will the Mangekyo Sharingan distort people's hearts?

No, before turning on the kaleidoscope, there is a prerequisite of killing one's best friend, which means that the psychology has been distorted before that.

But just one person, did Uchiha Obito also choose to exterminate his clan based solely on his bloodthirsty desire?

This doesn't make sense. It's not that the one-sided slaughter of the opponent is simply an indiscriminate attack that doesn't care about the target.If he was just mentally confused and murderous, his relatives would be the last option no matter what.This is human nature.

But as far as he knew, on the night of the genocide, the villagers other than Uchiha were not harmed at all.Not to mention the surrounding towns, if someone was killing people wantonly, people would be in panic, and even the Ninja Village would not be able to sleep peacefully.When the genocide is exterminated, there will definitely be stronger resistance.

After all, a wealthy clan like the Uchiha had many elite ninjas.

The more Sasuke thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.Even though Itachi and Obito both possess the Mangekyo Sharingan, is it really possible for just two people to kill such a large clan and leave only one alive?

Didn't even one person run out to report the news to the village?

The more Sasuke thought about it, the more frightened he became. He felt a thick curtain soaked in blood open before his eyes, emitting a disgusting smell.

"Sasuke?" Naruto patted him on the shoulder, calling him back to his senses.

"Wow, what's going on? You're so cold!" Naruto pinched his arm, then put Sasuke's hand into his palm and rubbed it, "Don't wear so little if it's cold these days, wear something like me. It’s not impossible to take off your coat when it gets hot.”

"Yes." Sasuke held Naruto's hand back slightly, feeling the warmth passing through it little by little to help him warm up.

"Okay! It's decided! Let's have a hot bowl of Ichiraku Ramen!" Naruto pulled Sasuke and walked quickly towards the warm store, "Also as a celebration of our passing, we will take on the mission starting tomorrow !”

"Yeah." Seeing Naruto's energetic look, Sasuke also smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth.

After accepting the mission, he could get closer to the center of those secrets. Now it was too easy to fall into misunderstandings by himself with only the clues he had.

But one thing is certain, there must be a hidden reason for the genocide back then.

However, after thinking that they had entered the bloody turmoil of the ninja world, even Sasuke couldn't help but be dumbfounded when the village issued them with D-level tasks such as catching cats and weeding.

"What are these! Third generation grandfather! Isn't there a more important and more powerful task for us?" Naruto shouted out his opinion directly.

"Naruto, when you take on a mission for the first time, you need to start practicing with these D-level missions. This is how everyone comes here." Because this is the first time a student in his class has taken on a mission after graduation, Iruka is also here. , explained after seeing the situation.

The third generation also tapped his cigarette pole: "All missions are divided into four levels, ABC and D, based on difficulty. D-level missions are specially prepared for genin like you who have just graduated. If you want to do more powerful missions, Let’s start with D-level to gain experience.”

"Okay! Then we will pick up ten today!"

"Idiot! Don't underestimate D-class missions so much!" Iruka finally gave up on being concerned about his image in front of the Hokage and yelled at Naruto, "First finish a mission today."

Seeing that Iruka was really angry, Naruto pursed his lips in displeasure, but didn't say anything more.

But Iruka is right. Although these D-level tasks are not very difficult, they are very trivial and require a lot of time.

Just like the weeding they are doing, because in this field there are many specially planted seedlings in addition to weeds, so they cannot just burn them all with one fire.Moreover, while weeding, you must also pay attention to distinguishing the difference between weeds and seedlings, and be careful not to damage the seedlings or trample the ridges firmly under your feet. This is actually a relatively detailed job.

Naruto looked at the weeds and seedlings that the farmer had found for them for reference, and compared the two carefully, he didn't find much difference.

"Isn't this all grass?"

Sakura burst out laughing.

Although Sasuke also couldn't tell the difference between grains, the farmer pointed out that he could still see the difference between the two, and immediately explained to Naruto: "Look carefully at the leaves. The leaves of the seedlings are slender and have no serrations, and the stems are not obvious."

Naruto followed Sasuke's instructions, sighed, and nodded: "It seems a little different."

"Okay, now that you can identify it, we're ready to start. Each of the three of you is responsible for an area. Pay attention to the key points mentioned before." After Kakashi made the assignment, he took out a book with 18 covers and walked under the shade of the tree. go.

"Then what are you doing, Kakashi-sensei?"

"Me? Of course I'm responsible for supervision and overall planning." Kakashi didn't look back and just walked around holding the book and reading it.

Once again questioning the professionalism of this so-called Jonin.

But it's really not his turn to take action on such a trivial matter.

Sasuke pulled Naruto, who was still angry, and said, "Let's finish the task quickly."

It would take at least a morning for them, who had never done farm work, to clean up such a large area.

As Sasuke was weeding, he thought that letting ninjas without relevant experience do this kind of task where practice makes perfect would actually reduce efficiency.Since there is a commission for hiring ninjas, it would be faster to find other farmers.So why choose them?

Or, even though it was a hire, was it actually a training mission specially prepared by the village for the genin?

Just like the previous actual combat exercises actually measured teamwork ability, the important thing about this kind of task is not the task itself, but the cultivation of meticulous observation skills and obedience to the team leader.

Speaking of which, these fields do not look like they have been carefully taken care of.

Although the farmer wearing the straw hat before had thick black palms, he was indeed a farmer, but when he looked at these wheat seedlings, he was not as serious as ordinary people looking at their hard work.Moreover, the many issues that need attention have been mentioned before, which shows that weeding itself is not a simple matter. It is too easy for novices like them to cause a reduction in food production.I'm afraid they will need to reorganize it after they finish it.

Therefore, this is actually an assessment of various abilities. Kakashi, who is watching from the sidelines, will probably report the completion of their tasks to the superiors in terms of processing time, precision, etc., and then formulate future task allocation plans accordingly.

Thinking of this and looking at Naruto who was still muttering next to him, Sasuke straightened up: "Naruto."

"Ok?"

"As a ninja, any task you accept must be completed meticulously."

Naruto was startled, and his expression gradually became serious: "I understand.
