[Naruto·Itachi bg] A clear spring

"...Why did you send Itachi away?"

"Itachi, he will understand this sooner or later, but now he is just a genin and still needs time to grow."

While still holding the tea in his hand, Uchiha Itachi heard these words that night.

why?

Because I'm not strong enough...

"Uchiha-kun!" The lively Shinko put a hand on his shoulder, "Has Tenma treated you better? He is obviously his savior, but he is so ignorant."

The last time I caught a ninja cat, it was thanks to Uchiha-kun that that stupid guy Tenma didn't fall and get hurt.

"Well, Tenma thanked me again." Uchiha Itachi thought it was cute when he thought of his teammate's thank you that he had to fiddle with for a long time today.

His teammates are very good to him.

"Really? Then has he apologized to you? This attitude towards his benefactor was not acceptable before."

"Xinzi... It's too difficult for Tianma to thank and apologize."

"That's right...Pegasus is just a big idiot who doesn't know what to say, what a big idiot!"

"Hey! Who are you calling a fool?"

"Oh, don't be so grumpy, Pegasus. We are companions, and we should help each other!"

"Pegasus, we are companions, I won't mind."

Companions are meant to help each other.Uchiha Itachi smiled, his low mood in the past few days finally improved.

.........

The lively team finally received their first mission out of the village today.

Escort a lady back to her parents' home.

"Wow, it's C-level." Inari Shinko touched it curiously after receiving the mission scroll.

"The ninjutsu I learned can come in handy!" Izumo Tenma is very satisfied with this task level and wants to show it off this time.

"Level C~ There are very few situations where you need to fight. The lady also has her own guards. Even if she fights, she rarely uses ninjutsu." The leader of the team, Teacher Minazuki, thanked the other party sincerely.

This lady's natal family is within the Kingdom of Fire, so she will not encounter any trouble on such a short journey.

It is indeed a hot commodity among C-level missions.

"Eh? It's so close, why do we need to hire a ninja team to escort us? We'll be there in a day." After carefully studying the map in the mission scroll, Inari Shinko was very puzzled.

"Maybe... the idea of ​​a rich person?" Izumo Tenma's mood suddenly dropped a lot when he heard that there was no room for him to perform.While holding his head in his hands, he looked at Uchiha Itachi who was at the end of the team with his peripheral vision.

That guy... always has no expression.

But this time, he didn't seem to be in a good mood.

Such a big thing happened to the Uchiha family... He was also affected, right?

say something

"Hey... Tenma, what are you thinking about?" The enlarged version of Shinko in front of him startled Tenma, "New... Shinko! Can you stop being so elusive?!"

"You're obviously in a daze! Besides, being invisible and escaping are my strengths~"

"Okay, we're here. Let's tidy up our clothes."

Teacher Minazuki pulled down her somewhat wrinkled trouser legs and took the lead in walking in.

There is a newly built inn in Konoha Village, and their employer for this mission lives here.

"Oh, I said I didn't want anyone to escort me~"

"Madam, this is what the Lord has requested. We must comply with it. Look, all the ninjas are here to help."

"Okay then," the chubby lady moved and turned her head to look at their thin bodies, "tell me, what are you good at?"

"Make ice." After the teacher leading the team gave such an informal answer, the students' answers were also quite concise.

"Gymnastics..."

"Three body technique."

"...kunai and shuriken"

"That's enough. The kids are pretty good. So we don't need to take shortcuts. We should just take the main road back."

The main road mentioned is the official road of Konoha Village, the commercial road connecting various small towns.

Looking at Teacher Minazuki behind him who was constantly making ice for the fat lady to cool down, Inari Shinko, who was walking in the middle, sighed.

This lady looked like she was here for a trip. She walked slowly and walked in a long circle to eat delicious food.

A gust of wind blows...

The puddles on the road rippled.

"Be careful!" Izumo Tenma shouted, threw a kunai, and took a few steps back to protect Shinko behind him.

The book says that ninjas with water-based chakra can hide in puddles.

"Quack~" The kunai fell to the ground, and a fat toad jumped out.

.........

"Tenma, don't be so nervous!" This was the first time she had made an mistake, and Inari Shinko's nerves were almost unbearable.

"It rained yesterday, so it's normal for water to accumulate on the road." Uchiha Itachi had already looked at it before approaching, and his intuition told him that this puddle was fine.

"Oops, it's raining again."

The light rain fell quickly, and there were more and more ripples on the puddles.

"Find a place with many trees to hide for a while." Mizuno Yuelin understood his employer's thoughts very well and simply spoke first.

Under the light and shadow of the sun, the falling water drops gradually formed a rain curtain.The space in the dense forest was small, and it took most of the day to bring the sedan in.

Although it was raining from the sun, the rain would not stop for a while. There were more clouds in the sky and the sunshine also dimmed.

.........

Walking in the woods with one foot deep and one foot shallow, one half of the boy's body looked a little strange, and the wrinkled lines were very different from the other half.

Feeling the adjustment of the right half of his body, the young man breathed a sigh of relief.

"If only it could have been faster."

Out of pity, his appearance was actually seen by an Uchiha who was no longer a ninja.

Should it be said that the Uchiha clan is crouching tiger, hidden dragon, or that he is not strong enough.

But it's not a loss, he got a pair of Sharingan.

After resting for a while, the process of re-merging half of his body was very painful, but this time he could clearly feel that he was stronger.

The body on the right is very "obedient".

A body that I could only fully control when I was emotionally charged...

Someone try it, he can't wait.

The rain stopped.

"It's time to grab the money!" The loud screams frightened the birds in the forest.

"Bandits?" The young man's body swayed and he quickly chased towards the place where the voice came from.

Uchiha Itachi also didn't expect that just to take shelter from the rain, he would encounter bandits who also came to take shelter from the rain in the forest.

Unable to perform in the forest, and with a slow-moving employer, Uchiha Itachi threw away a few kunai and forced the advancing bandits away, trying to lead the battle to an open area.

With the fighting between several parties, the battle quickly spread to the official road.

Bandits who don't know ninjutsu are not a problem for their team, but there are too many bandits.

Just as the cold weapon battle between the two sides was in full swing, Itachi Uchiha frowned, and the opponent's ax quickly swung over.

Qiang - Kunai withstood the opponent's axe, and Izumo Tenma quickly unloaded the offensive.

"Itachi, why are you dazed? Do you want to be split in half?"

"Someone is coming." The murderous intent is strong!Uchiha Itachi made a backhand stroke and harvested the opponent's life.

"Itachi, you..." He didn't expect his teammates who were younger than him to attack so neatly.

"There are too many people, and they won't give up until they see some blood." Their team has been stalling for a while, and there are only a few of the employer's guards. Even if they injure the opponent, they can't make them give up on retreating.

Uchiha Itachi didn't like blood, and the scene of the sky filled with blood mist when he was young was vivid in his mind.

The memory lasted only a moment, but the scene on the field suddenly turned one-sided.

There was more blood mist, and there were screams everywhere, and it was impossible to distinguish between the wails of the enemy and ourselves.

"Xinzi, take the madam away quickly."

"But, teacher..."

"Shut up! Mission priority! The three of us are behind." "Water escape? Great waterfall technique!" As the leader of the team, Minazuki Yurin quickly judged that the other party was not a good person.

The water in the sky rushed towards the opponent, and while washing away a pile of corpses, Minazuki Yulin grabbed the two disciples by their collars and retreated to the sedan.

"Konoha's team?" The water curtain fell, but the boy in gray was intact.The shaggy hair like a hedgehog and the orange mask on his face make it difficult to see his face and age.

Judging by his body shape and voice, he looks about seventeen or eighteen years old.

"The team that can leave the village should be pretty strong, right?" The boy in gray shook his head, and a red light flashed through the hole in his mask.

That is?

Uchiha Itachi paused, and his vigilant body reacted for him. He threw multiple kunai backwards and then turned around.

The young man in gray appeared silently behind him.

The kunai that passed through his heart was covered with Minazuki-sensei's blood.

Too fast. What kind of ninjutsu is it?

"Teacher Minazuki!" Izumo Tenma quickly recovered from the shock and was about to step forward but was swept away by the newly formed icicles.

"Pegasus, take Itachi and leave, don't interfere!" Despite the heavy bleeding, Minazuki Yurin's blood did not fall anymore. Instead, it condensed on the wound, and the hand that penetrated his vital part froze together.

"Ice Release, Shui Wuyue clan, are you from the Mist Ninja Village?"

After using the secret technique, Shuimu Youlin's pain was relieved a lot.

If he used that move, he wouldn't be able to feel the severe pain.

"Do you hate the Mist Ninja?" Minazuki Yulin heard very clearly that when the gray-clothed boy mentioned the Mist Ninja Village, he felt calm under the rage.

The kind of grief and anger that has been lost for a long time and still cannot be let go.

"I heard that the Minazuki clan was also executed. Now you are wearing the forehead protector of Konoha Village."

As the boy in gray spoke every word, Minazuki Yurin felt that his frozen right hand and his restrained left hand were struggling to break free.

"My gift box, my gift box."

"Ma'am, don't take it. You can't take it."

The fat lady stumbled back and was about to get something from the sedan, but was frightened by the scene in front of her.

The two people who were in a stalemate were people who even the team leader couldn't subdue.

Inari Shinko, who was following behind, also quickly saw this scene.

Her teacher was on the verge of life and death.

After looking at his trembling employer and his female disciple, Minazuki Yurin closed his eyes.

Although he can freeze his blood, he cannot be cured.

His heart had been broken by the young man's blow.

"I have nothing to do with the Mist Ninja Village anymore. Please let them go."

"Ah, what a pity. I won't let go of anyone related to the Mist Ninja."

"Now, let's go!" Feeling that he could no longer control this person, Minazuki Yurin shouted, the chakra in his body surged, and blood-like needles shot out quickly.

At such a close distance, this person couldn't escape.

Just think of him as killing evil for the Leaf Village that has taken him in for so many years.

Secret technique? Blood killing

The blood mist and blood needles filled the sky, like the most beautiful sunset on the battlefield.

Uchiha Itachi opened his eyes wide, watching the familiar back melt into blood inch by inch and then turn into a life-killing blood needle.

Everything ended quickly, and the smell of blood spread.

The young man in gray clothes was also missing.

is dead, or?

"Hahaha, the secret technique of the Minazuki clan is to die together. It's a pity that the time your teacher bought for you was not used."

"Itachi, go quickly and live well." Izumo Tenma understood the teacher's last look.

Anyone in their team could die, but Uchiha Itachi couldn't.

"Pegasus!" Itachi Uchiha tried to pull his teammates back, but it was already too late.

The excited enemy quickly ended the fight.

When the blood mist rose again, Uchiha Itachi felt his eyes hurt.

Hot heat and tearing pain surged up at the same time.

Why... are all dead.

why?

why!

Because you are not strong enough.

Itachi, you are still young and don't need to know so much.

He is just a genin and needs time to grow.

……

"Ah!!!" Bloody tears welled up, and his eyes glowed red.

Uchiha Itachi held his head and trembled.

It hurts so much...

It really hurts so much, this feeling of being irreversible and irrescuable.

In the bloody light, Uchiha Itachi saw the murderer approaching him step by step.

Enduring the severe pain in his head and eyes, Uchiha Itachi used kunai to prop up his body that was about to fall.

"Awakening, then take a good look at this desperate world."

These were the last words Uchiha Itachi heard that day.
