[Naruto·Itachi bg] A clear spring

The sun is a little warmer in early April.Uchiha Itachi woke up at dawn. He should continue his morning exercises today, pack his luggage, and meet with his father at the entrance of the village in the afternoon.But... Sister Quan's hug was too tight, and he didn't really want to break free.Now... I don't know if I can come back.Leaning his face on the girl's shoulder, Uchiha Itachi squinted his eyes. The smell of home smelled so good.

"Itachi——" Mikoto opened the door and saw her son who was hurriedly trying to run away from her arms. "It's getting late. It's time to have breakfast and clean up." Mrs. Mikoto was in a good mood and closed the door.

"Little Itachi?" Uchiha Izumi, who was woken up, looked at Uchiha Itachi who was nesting on another tatami, "What time is it? Why don't you get up yet?"

"We've been up for a long time... Mother is still waiting for us." Uchiha Itachi closed his eyes and squeezed out a sentence.

What pajamas are you wearing when you wake up early?Who are you coaxing?Izumi Uchiha decided not to expose this little brat, and gathered up her loose pajamas as she prepared to wash up.

Several members of the Uchiha Guard and four ANBU members stood at the assembly point at the entrance of Konoha Village.It was obvious that they were all waiting for someone.Although they were standing very close to each other, the two groups of people were clearly distinct.

Finally came, looking at three figures, one big, two small.There began to be a commotion in the crowd.

"Why are you bringing two children? Going to the battlefield is no child's play."

"Forget it Uchiha Itachi, is that one next to you...?"

Quan, who was walking slowly, didn't react at all to the comments of the people in front of him.When she was about to go out at noon, Uncle Fugaku suddenly asked her if she wanted to go with him. This time, they would go to the border of Kusakunin Village.Grass Ninja Village... The last message brought by Shisui Crow was displayed at the border of Grass Ninja Village.She agreed and had no reason to refuse.Moreover, such an invitation may not be a temporary one.

In addition to the Uchiha clan members, this time the team also had four ANBU.After handing over their credentials and walking out the door, the ten people hurried for a short distance before stopping and starting to exchange information.

"Jade, captain, wind attribute."

"Stone, earth attribute."

"Medicine, medical ninja."

"Oil, Sensing Ninja."

"Uchiha Yakumo, fire attribute."

"Ichiha Uchiha, fire attribute."

"Uchiha Lin, fire attribute."

"Uchiha Fugaku, fire attribute."

...Looking at the attitude of this answer, Quan was slightly stunned. Would you like to report what you are good at?

"Uchiha Itachi, fire attribute." The voice of Uchiha Itachi next to him was steady.

I...have no fire attribute at all. What I am best at...

"Izumi Uchiha, wind attribute." The masked ANBU captain opposite glanced at her.

"This time our Uchiha clan's mission is to go to Fire Country Stronghold 401 to change defenses."

"No. 401 is near the Land of Fire and the Grass Ninja Village. Our mission will pass there." After clicking, they will walk a certain distance to ensure the safety of the Uchiha team.

Since they were switching defenses, the team was not moving very fast, at least she and Itachi could barely keep up.But...after several hours, the two of them were slowly falling behind.In front was the Uchiha team of four, with Uncle Fugaku taking the lead.Behind them was the ANBU team, with her and Itachi caught in the middle.Phew - Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Izumi Uchiha lifted up his aching feet and followed Uchiha Itachi closely. They had been walking for four hours. If they continued like this, he would be able to hold on for another hour at most.The advancing team in front stopped. Uchiha Fugaku looked at the two of them, "Although the task is not urgent, we still need to increase our speed." At his signal, Uchiha Rin had already bent down, and Uchiha Itachi obediently climbed on his back.

...What about her little follower?There was a moment of silence in the team.

"Come on, get on my back." The ANBU codenamed Jade bent down.

She glanced at Uncle Fugaku, and after receiving his signal, she climbed up silently.The team set off again, this time much faster.

At the speed of the rapid march, they can reach the rear of stronghold 401 in about one day, which will be at noon tomorrow.Far away from the city, the forest of the Land of Fire is full of stars, and the sounds of various insects and animals can occasionally be heard in the silent forest.Because it was wartime, lighting fires was completely prohibited, and even the Fire Country was not absolutely safe.Today's dinner was Bing Liang Wan, and their two children were taken care of and ate compressed biscuits.This stuff is so heavy that you can't swallow it without drinking more water.When she went to fetch water, Little Weasel also wanted to follow, but was held back.Just one dragster is enough to cause a headache, but they can't get together, what if they are taken over by the same pot.

After filling the kettle with water, Quan silently looked at the dark black river water.It had been a long time since she had tried her water escape, but...looking at the ANBU captain following beside her, she suppressed her inner excitement.

"...Uncle, hello." She spoke out of curiosity. They carried her all the way today, so they are relatively familiar with each other, right?

"What do you want to ask?" echoed the young man leaning on the tree trunk.

"How can I practice the Wind Escape Chakra to exert its maximum power?"

"Practical combat is the best teacher. It's been a while since we've been out. Let's go back." The river is only a few minutes away from the resting place.

Quan nodded, and suddenly remembered that he shouldn't be able to see it in the dark. "Um."

Quan turned around and was about to go back when he suddenly paused, "Someone--" The flow of the water was wrong, it was very close!It was a completely instinctive reaction. While shouting, his left hand, which had been placed in the ninja bag on the left, quickly threw a kunai towards the abnormally flowing river.

Sudden changes occur.The water column rising from behind failed to trap the girl. The kunai plunged into the water and made a muffled groan. She quickly lay down and rolled to the side of the young man.

Before she could see his movements clearly, she saw a flash of the white blade, and the person who came out of the water had his throat cut neatly.

Two more figures emerged from the river, and the man codenamed Jade immediately took the opportunity to jump up and block their attacks on the other side.

According to the principle recognized by the ninja world as the optimal team of four, 1, 2, 3... and one more!You must call for help immediately!Uchiha Izumi, who was lying down, got up and ran back immediately.

It was late, and the forest behind glowed red under the fire escape.A boy of about ten years old stood in front of her, blocking her way.With a sword... he may be good at close combat, and his concealment in the water is so strong, he is probably from Kirigakure Village.Quan quickly threw a kunai with a string and took the opportunity to retreat, trying to distance himself.The young man approached with a knife. Quan pulled off the tight fishing line and raised his hand to let the fishing line pass diagonally across the young man's running figure.When the opponent dodged, she took advantage of the gap and jumped into the woods nearby.The only thing she has a chance of winning now is the close chakra knife combined with Sharingan.Because of his young age, the amount of chakra is not enough to continuously activate the Sharingan, and he has only learned one of the Three Body Techniques, so concealment is necessary.

Quan quickly formed a seal and turned into a green insect before the opponent found her. The target was small enough, but unfortunately it couldn't fly or move.She silently held her breath, and being able to use such an obvious large-scale ninjutsu as Fire Release without being exposed meant that her teammates were in a not optimistic situation. She hoped that Uncle Jade could come back to help as soon as possible.

In the dark night full of murderous intent, the boy who had lost his goal was looking for the girl in the woods.No, no, still no.Damn it, such a little girl will definitely not be able to run far.The two teams that were originally on the infiltration mission were worried that they couldn't find each other to attack, so they met the Konoha team with two oil bottles.These two children happen to be from the Uchiha clan. If they can be caught, they can make up for the regret that they failed to take away Konoha's most powerful pupil skill last time.When they finally separated, there was only one ANBU with this frail little girl.Tsk, a child who can follow him out of the village should not be underestimated. He is underestimating the enemy.

There was a faint sound of wind in the forest, and the young man stopped and remained motionless for a long time.What is he going to do?

Since she can't find it, let's wait until she reveals herself!The boy who paused for a moment released a strong killing intent. Although he was only a chuunin, in a village known as the Blood Mist, those who could survive had their hands full of blood, and were bloodthirsty and cruel.

She was so scared... so uncomfortable. Such a strong murderous intention was overwhelming her, and she couldn't hold it anymore.The hidden leaves moved, and the young man immediately chopped them down with his knife.Quan, who couldn't dodge because of fear, covered his shoulders and fell quickly. I was so scared...I couldn't move, but I couldn't die!In his blood-red eyes, the boy's pursuit seemed to slow down.

This kid actually opened his Sharingan!God is really helping me.

The trajectory of the attack was extremely clear in these eyes. Between life and death, the hands and feet that were frozen in fear reluctantly moved.He took out a thin blade and poured it into the water escape chakra while throwing it towards the boy's eyebrows. The hydrated blade took away the powder in the nails.

"Ah——" The enemy, who was covering his eyes, slashed the sword with unabated force but lost his accuracy.Quan, who twisted to avoid, stuck to the tree trunk and narrowly avoided it.

Pfft - before he even hit the ground, the boy's blood was scattered in the air.It was over... Unsettled, she fell from the tree.

Peng - a warm and bloody embrace.She almost cried when she was finally safe.

Jade lowered her head to look at the girl in her arms, her young face stained with blood was frightened, and her eyes were filled with water like clear springs.

"thanks……"

"Jade, how are you?" Teammates came over after the battle.

"Already solved, four in total."

"There are four here too, Mist Ninja."

"Has the Ninja Eagle been released?"

"Let it go, it's not a good place to stay for a long time."

Quan, who returned to the resting place, saw the tribesman responsible for disposing of the body.

"Sister Izumi——" Looking at the girl with blood stains, Uchiha Itachi was a little anxious, "Where are you injured?"

"It's not my blood." Quan stabilized the little ferret who was rushing over, "What about you?"

"It's nothing serious..." It's just that he sprained his foot during the battle.

The two children who survived the disaster smiled at each other.

"Izumi, did you kill someone?" Uchiha Fugaku asked from the side.

"No, it's not me." Quan squeezed Little Weasel's hand, a little scared. If Uncle Yu hadn't arrived in time, she would have confessed here.

"Good fighting sense." After handling the corpse, the ANBU captain nodded to the clan leader as a compliment.

The assembled team set off again and left the place.

I was afraid I would have to travel all night tonight, but luckily I survived.The tense nerves finally relaxed now, sleepiness began to come over her, and she couldn't help but yawn.

"Go to sleep if you feel sleepy, little Uchiha girl, what medicine did you give me?"

"Devil chili powder..." Quan couldn't hold on anymore and fell into sleep.

Haha... this interesting little girl will definitely become a rookie in the ninja world in time.
