[NARUTO] Night of the Full Moon

By the way, Uchiha Itachi would belong to... ANBU a few years after graduation.

It was after he went to work in the Anbu that the conflict with his father became more and more serious, and even quarrels broke out several times.

When the tribe came to investigate the death of Shisui, he said... what did he say?

It was too long ago, especially after what happened, Sasuke's childhood memories were somewhat unclear.

The words I vaguely remember are: "My capacity has given up on this self-proclaimed family..." "You all only live in your own imagination." "Stupidly limited to family and personal honor..."

After digging deeper into my memory step by step, the original scene finally became complete.

Sasuke finally remembered that Itachi, who had been repeatedly warned by his father, did not go to the family meeting at that time.Later, the clan members came to investigate the secret behind why Uchiha Shisui, who was also absent, committed suicide by drowning in the river.Itachi clashed with each other because of their suspicions, and even after his father returned, he continued to speak these nonsense words that were contemptuous of his own kind.

Yes...it was after his younger self stopped him that Itachi suddenly woke up and apologized to everyone.

Itachi was shocked when he heard his voice, and then he suddenly leaned over, his knees knocking on the bluestone road with a heart-wrenching sound, and said, "I made a mistake, I'm sorry, I'm really... I'm sorry."

He humbly begged the other party to forgive him for his previous incompetence.

All these obstacles became clearer to Sasuke.

The conflict between the clan and the village that he had discussed superficially before was embodied by characters from both sides that he was familiar with, and it was intuitively displayed before Sasuke's eyes.He didn't understand it at the time, but now, he seems to have glimpsed the era of conflict between old and new ideas.

The establishment and replacement of a new order cannot be easily interpreted in a single sentence.

These few people are just microcosms of what he sees. What about in a region unknown to him?How many fierce conflicts were there to create this distorted whitewash of peace?

He remembered.

ANBU, as the team directly connected to Naruto.Itachi was elected as one of them as the bridge between the village and the family.

There, Itachi learned about Hashirama's thoughts and began to realize that the pride and xenophobia within the clan would be undermined by the wheels of history, so was he dissatisfied with his father, who was the representative of family consciousness?

But he still cares about himself.

As long as there is even a trace of scruples about their loved ones, people who still have warmth in their hearts will not choose such an extreme method as killing their relatives!The driving force behind this...is he the Third Hokage?

No, no, calm down... the development of all things should be traceable, and the benevolence that Sandai always talks about does not seem to be fake.Even people like these little genin who will try their best to satisfy the demands of these little genin will not use such iron-blooded methods willfully. There are still people, there are people behind this...

Those who can influence the ANBU team directly under the Hokage, and those who have the power to oppose the Hokage, must be in the high-level team of Konoha.The behavior of sending people to monitor and test him must be the work of the other party.

However, he now doesn't even know the high-level composition of Konoha.Apart from the Hokage, who was always present at every occasion, he didn't even know the second senior figure.

His current status is still too low.As one of the most powerful genin in the village, I knew that no more information would be revealed.What's more, now that he has no family cover, he has no way of knowing even the information revealed by his parents' actions.

As for other Jonin, how can they be so easy to get close to?

Kakashi just looks careless, and Mochi Zabuza's words alone are enough to tell that he is not an ordinary character.Testing him will only backfire.

Tsk, I can only get promoted as soon as possible.Gaining more say in the village, or more opportunities to leave the village, would also allow him to come up with something from other channels.

It was also when Doze came to deliver pillows, and then many foreign assignments that required leaving the village came.

Although they are all childish tasks such as escorting ostriches, walking dogs, and capturing cat paw prints, it is undeniable that these are opportunities for him to contact the outside world.

"Grandma Cat." Seeing a familiar person made him relax a little.

Grandma Cat is quite old. The old man who always keeps company with Ninja cats is like a cat demon with nine lives. Even though she looks like she is half dead, she is still very energetic: "Oh...it's Sasuke, You haven’t been here for a long time.”

"This time I'm on a mission with my teammates." He did come often before, simply being taken out to play by his father, or collecting paw prints of various cats with Weasel.

It was a challenging game he loved as a child.

The warm feeling like going home made Sasuke suddenly realize that the Cat Granny and Uchiha are inextricably linked.So...could she know something?

While Granny Cat got up to look for the props they needed for this mission, Sasuke went with him on the pretext that he was familiar with this place.Then he looked at Naruto and Sakura, who were already out of earshot, and said, "Mother Cat..."

But Granny Cat turned her back to him and waved her hand: "I've been here for too long, and I've only been with those cats all day long... How can any of the kittens have such complicated thoughts?"

"In addition, I am getting older and my memory is not very good..." Granny Cat's voice gradually lowered, then she paused and then said, "It's just that you were so close, so it's not a lie."

"You have watched us grow up." Sasuke took two steps forward and walked beside Grandma Cat.

Granny Cat turned her head and looked at Sasuke's face, as if sizing up his height, nodded and sighed: "Yes... I watched you grow up. But what kind of character is the person you spend time with day and night, and you still want this from me?" Are you talking too much, old lady?”

These words almost made it clear that Sasuke believed in his own judgment.

The two stopped talking.

It wasn't until Grandma Cat found the headband that could help them understand cat language, put it on Sasuke, and then meowed: "If you need weapons or medicine from now on, you can always come to Grandma."

Sasuke was startled, then lowered his head, letting Granny Cat use her fingers to comb his hair that was messed up when he was acting crazy, just like she did when he was a child.

Even without the experience of the Warring States Period, he never fought alone.

"Let's go." Sasuke strode towards his friends, "I will definitely capture the two-tailed cat today!"

"Oh!" Naruto responded excitedly.

I'm afraid Granny Cat issued this mission reward just to let him see this clearly.

As for the big cat with two tails, although he has some strength, he is still not enough in front of them now. Naturally, he successfully achieved the mission goal.

After the near-death mission experience in the Land of Waves, the mission of returning to normal genin level was child's play for them.Moreover, he was not allowed to leave the team without authorization during the mission, so it was not like Sasuke could take the opportunity to gather information as he had initially expected.What's more, how much information related to ninjas can be found in the villages where ordinary people stay overnight?

Sasuke sighed in his heart, regained his consciousness and continued to carefully monitor the situation of the transport team. He happened to see one of the horses slip under their hoofs and fall to the edge of the cliff. He quickly flew forward to grab the reins and pull the horse back.

The horse "chirped" and was pulled by Sasuke, causing a small commotion.At this moment, Xu Shi, the bandits who had been waiting for the opportunity, rushed out.

Usually bandits are just ordinary people with weapons, but this time they were unlucky enough to encounter a bandit leader with some ninja skills.

But after all, they are all inferior characters.Sasuke calmed the frightened horses and prepared to work with Naruto and the others to completely eliminate the bandits. However, when he was sideways avoiding the opponent's unknown attack, he bumped into Naruto's hand, and then he felt his hand tighten, and the two of them had a hand. His hands were stuck together by a dirty blue unknown substance.

"What is this!" Naruto was shocked and used his backhand to cut with kunai, but he couldn't resist it at all.

Sasuke gritted his back molars. They had fought against S-class rebel ninjas before, but they fell into the hands of this little-known thief, and he felt angry at the moment.He immediately reached back and half-brought Naruto into his arms, dodged another round of missiles with him in his arms, and rushed straight to the head of the bandit.

Seeing the opportunity, Naruto pressed Sasuke's shoulders to use his strength, turned over and kicked the bandit's head off his chin.

The bandit's head was hit hard, and the trajectory of the rubber bullet fired from his hand deviated from the expected, but it hit the cargo box on the horse's back.The gold-forged ornament fell out of the wooden box and fell straight off the cliff.

"damn it!"

At this moment, Sakura was farther away, and Sasuke could only use one knife to completely remove the bandit's mobility, then turned around and rushed towards the goods they were responsible for transporting.

"Naruto, hold on tight!" Just fall, as long as you can find one or two points of strength below, you won't be seriously injured by falling off the cliff.

After Naruto caught the ornament, he hugged Sasuke's neck in a tacit understanding, and looked completely trustworthy even when Sasuke led him off a cliff.

Using the amazing dynamic vision of the Sharingan, Sasuke successfully found several footholds, cushioned his jump, and inserted his saber straight into the rock wall to gain strength in the last section, which finally allowed them to stand at the bottom of the cliff unscathed.

Sasuke shook his still movable right hand to relieve the discomfort caused by hanging the two of them by one arm, and then took out his knife.The knife was so worn that it was almost unusable, and the blade was full of chips caused by small stones.

However, even such damage was enough to make Naruto stunned: "Sasuke, tell me how you inserted the knife into the stone!"

In his mind, the knife would be broken by the hard rock when Sasuke tried this.In the end, even though it was carrying their weight and cutting off with sparks all the way, the gap was only opened?

"Injecting chakra into a weapon can increase its hardness." Sasuke explained after thinking about it for a moment and knowing where the cognitive difference between Naruto and him came from.

"Chakra...you said that as a weapon, you can also use kunai?" Naruto looked amazed, "These are all mentioned in the sword skills you learned?"

Sasuke nodded.

When he looked up, he saw Naruto's face full of "I want to learn".
