[Naruto·Itachi bg] A clear spring

Holding a sharp knife in his hand, Izumi tried to condense chakra onto the blade. As long as... he concentrated on what he wanted, and took his time... the white chakra flowed slowly, slowly approaching the knife in his hand. .A little bit, just a little bit closer... I will definitely succeed this time.The flow of white chakra suddenly stopped at his wrist, and after a moment of struggle, it began to dissipate.Again...failed again.Alas, what happened?Frustrated, Quan sat down, puzzled.

"— Bang, Dudu, Dudu, Dudu," Stop water other than ten steps can already hit one hit, and at the same time, the target heart of twelve different angles can be shot.He learned the shuriken technique from his uncle to an eighth level, and he worked so hard, but there was nothing wrong with me stagnating!Ouch!Izumi scratched her hair in frustration. "Quanmei, did your chakra knife succeed? I hit twelve targets today!" The proud Shisui puffed up his chest and was willing to admit defeat!

"No - brother, I'm so depressed..." This time I will call him my brother for a week.

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay, my sister is already very powerful, brother will protect you!" As an older brother, he was quite proud.

"No," Uchiha Izumi shouted firmly, knocking off Shisui's hand that was rubbing her head, "No one can protect me forever! They are all liars!" The panic and long-term consequences of stagnant cultivation The depression made her, who used to be sunny, emotionally unstable.

Shisui was stunned when his hand was slapped off. Why did this girl react so much?

I don't want to believe this kind of nonsense anymore.Holding back the tears and swallowing the memories of the past, Iquan ran as hard as I could. I couldn't, couldn't stay in such a good place anymore. I couldn't help but rely on it, couldn't help but...lose my fighting spirit.

"It's going to rain. Where are you going? Come back quickly!"

Shisui behind him was about to catch up, but his father suddenly appeared and held his shoulders.

"Father——Izumi..."

"Leave her alone, she needs to think clearly."

She ran as hard as she could, past the pancake shop at the gate of her tribe, past the bustling shops on the street, and past the looming woods... How she wanted to run like this to that day, when that beautiful childhood had not yet suffered a huge change, so she He is still his parents' little baby, not an orphan who is gritting his teeth and practicing hard.Until your chest is filled with hot breath, until you are trapped by the reality that you can no longer escape.She fell softly on the grass, no longer having the strength to get up.The patter of rain soaked the soil but could not take away her hidden tears.

"Odosan——," she saw her father for the first time when she was one year old.

"This is my little baby. You have such beautiful eyes. I call you Quan! How about Yuanquan?" The tall man poked her soft face with the stubble on his chin.

"Shouldn't it be called Uchiha Izumi?" The face of the woman in white kimono was blurred.

"She will not go back to that family..."

But I still went back, and I still have to learn to survive here.

"Xiaoizumi, in the early stages of training, the intensity of chakra is largely related to willpower. Although I don't know why you are...but, have you really decided to become a ninja? A ninja who harvests the lives of others."

Blood - eyes full of blood, didn't such a gentle father kill the infiltrating ninja for her?

But she had no way out, she had to be a ninja, and the Uchiha clan would not give up such an outstanding blood successor.But can she really be a good ninja?A... murderous ninja.He raised his eyes and looked at his delicate hands. These hands that were originally used to study medicine...will they be stained with other people's blood in the future?

"Sister Quan——" There was a familiar voice from behind, "What are you doing lying on the ground? It's raining."

Is it a little weasel?Silently getting up, Quan didn't have the strength to look back.

Looking at Uchiha Izumi who was still crying with the two magatama in front of him, Uchiha Itachi fell silent.Although he envied Sister Quan's eyes and wanted to ask how he opened them, she was so unhappy... I don't know why she was unhappy.Itachi thought for a moment, stretched out his fleshy hand and hugged her.Brother Shisui did the same thing when he was unhappy.

Feeling Itachi's silent comfort, Izumi silently returned the hug.It's so embarrassing to be comforted by a little brat...

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and there will be no return for a while.The two people hiding in the cave were speechless.

"Why did you come so far alone? Aunt Miqin will be worried." After thinking about it, Quan broke the silence.

"I'm not alone. Brother Shisui asked me to come to this training ground and wait for him."

"Ah ha? He didn't tell me, are you going to train secretly behind my back?"

"...You have Uncle Yue to teach you, but Brother Zhisui said he can't teach you."

"No, I want to come too."

"..." There was another moment of silence.

"Sister Quan, are you... unhappy recently?"

"Huh? Little Weasel-kun is so attentive, he can spot all these things. I'm not unhappy, I'm thinking about life."

"Think about... life?" The word was too difficult for him to understand.

"Well, I was thinking about the meaning of life."

"……"Too abstruse.

"Well - don't think so much, little brat~" He rubbed Itachi's hair. It was soft and touchable, and not irritating at all.

"I'm not a brat, you're only two years older than me!" Itachi Uchiha quickly countered, covering his head.

"Big is big, and small is small." Alas, this little kid is too precocious and becomes less and less fun. He won't be able to play in a few more years.

"Eh? Brother Zhisui!" Izumi, who was in a daze, followed Itachi's excited eyes and saw that he was really here...

Holding his little brother and sister holding an umbrella, Uchiha Shisui walked back to the clan in silence.Threesomes are usually fun and cheerful, but today the happy one among the three didn't say a word.Alas, I won’t be pretty anymore after this, Quan.Uchiha Shisui said: "Koizumi, you don't have to be a ninja. We are your family and we will support you no matter what decision you make."

No matter what... support her?It was already the greatest luck to have such warm people, and she could not lose anything more. "No, I will become a ninja so that I can protect you."

"Ninjas exist to protect important things! You are awesome, Koizumi!" The clear sunshine after the rain warmly imprinted on this peaceful land. The seniors on the front line who regarded death as home must also be working hard for such a village. .
