Konoha's Strongest Empress

"Weasel."

The familiar silver bell-like sound entered the ears with the wind, and a faint fragrance came to the nostrils. Itachi, who was sitting on the small bridge, turned his head slightly, and the expression on his face was a little surprised when he saw that it was Qi Ying.

"master"

"Why do you look like you've seen a ghost, really." After giving Itachi an angry look, Qi Ying walked to him and sat down.

"What are you doing sitting here alone, admiring the sunset?"

"Probably." After Itachi replied lightly, he turned his head and looked at the place he was looking at, which was the position where the sunset was gradually setting.

From Itachi's tone, Qi Ying could tell that the little guy was not in a good mood right now, with a sigh in his voice, what a melancholy little prince.

"Quanmei's matter has been resolved."

After hearing this sentence, Itachi's pupils shrank slightly, and his face changed subtly.

"Ok, I know."

"You still look unhappy. If anyone messes with you, master will help you beat him up."

"No, no one messed with me, I just think I hurt Quanmei." Itachi lowered his head as he spoke, his expression becoming more hesitant.

"You hurt Izumi." Qiying looked at Itachi in confusion, not really understanding what he meant.

The one who released the illusion on Izumi was obviously Danzo's subordinate, what does this have to do with Itachi.

"Quanmei's mission this time was actually supposed to go with me, but I got angry with her because of unnecessary things, so she could only complete the mission with other teams. This mission is very important to her. It's very important, it's an indicator of whether she can take the Chunin Exam."

An indicator of the Chunin Exam.

Ah, I remembered that the index of the Chunin exam should have been to graduate from the Ninja Academy and complete eight missions to participate, but since I took over the last Chunin mission, this index has changed.

Now you must complete ten missions, and one of them must complete a B-level mission before you can become a chuunin.

The purpose is to prevent too many ninjas who fish in troubled waters from becoming zhongnin, and let the name of zhongnin become the real zhongnin.

It's a bit difficult to understand in this way, but in fact, it must be worthy of the name.

According to Itachi's words, he could be considered as indirectly harming Izumi. If he hadn't put forward the goal of reform, Izumi would not have taken on C-level or higher tasks.

A muffled sound of "bang" came out, and Qiying punched Itachi on the head.

"It hurts so much" Itachi covered his head in pain, turned his face in confusion and asked: "Master, what are you doing?"

"You foolish disciple, you keep thinking about this and that. If you have this time, why don't you think about how to make yourself stronger and have a better future." Qi Ying shouted at Itachi angrily.

Really, this guy thought that his existence had changed him a bit, but he didn't expect his thoughts to be so negative.

"But it's really me"

"Although I don't know why you are arguing with Quanmei, but I want to tell you, Itachi, don't always take things on yourself, there is no need for that." Qi Ying said with a serious face.

"Although your thinking is more mature than your peers and many adults, it doesn't mean you have to take on unnecessary responsibilities. You are just a child, and a child should do what a child should do."

"What should children do?"

"Nonsense, of course I've learned, isn't that what I gave you special training for?" Qi Ying raised her fist again, looking like she was about to hit, Scared Itachi to cover her head with both hands.

"Oh, you."

"Itachi, the essence of a ninja is to bear the burden of humiliation in order to achieve one's own goals. You can understand this sentence in many ways, but before that, you have to remember one thing." Qi Ying raised her slender index finger at Itachi Then said in front of his face.

"If you want to take on something and chase your goals alone, the result will definitely be failure, and the failure will be very complete and ugly."

Qi Ying's serious words made Itachi speechless, only to see him silently looking at Qi Ying's upraised index finger, and after a moment of silence, he smiled.

"Master, you also have your fragrance on your fingers."

One sentence made Qi Ying's smooth forehead covered with hash marks.

"You"

Just when Qiying was about to erupt, Itachi turned his head to look at the sunset that had already set half of the mountain.

"Thank you, master, I will keep your teachings in mind."

Seeing Itachi showed a relieved smile, Qi Ying also put away her emotions, showing a smile like a spring breeze: "Yeah."

Thank you for listening to me.

These words are what Qi Ying has always wanted to say to Itachi on the screen in her previous life, and she has always dreamed that one day, she can rescue the man who is carrying everything from the abyss.

A time travel allowed me to complete this world that can be regarded as a dream. Presumably, many audiences in front of the screen at that time thought the same way.

I am really lucky.

"By the way, master, I want to ask a question." Itachi, who suddenly remembered something, turned his head and looked curious.

"What?" Qiying looked at Itachi with a curious face in confusion. According to his IQ, there were very few things he didn't understand. Even if there were, he could use many methods to understand them on his own.

"I like it, what does this feeling feel like?"

like

Qi Ying looked at Itachi, his face was full of pure doubt and puzzlement.

This guy, could it be that he likes Quanmei?

Come to think of it, this guy was very negative about Izumi just now, so that's probably the case.

Hmph, it seems that my cultivation plan is very effective, and the goal is almost achieved.

However, do you like it? No matter it is in the past life or now, I have never liked anyone, and my liking is only limited to the kind of concept when watching anime.

"Like it, it's a very good feeling. When you see someone you like, your heartbeat will speed up, and you will pay close attention to everything about that person." Qi Ying racked her brains before choking out a sentence.

Because I really don’t know what it feels like to like

"That's it." Itachi looked suddenly enlightened, lowered his head, and put his hands on his chest.

砰

砰

Is this how it feels?

Itachi felt the heartbeat from his chest, and then turned his head to look at Qi Ying who was sitting beside him.

The warm red sunset reflected on Qiying's delicate and small face, illuminating that flushed face, and there was a little sunset red on the pink and tender cherry mouth, which firmly caught Itachi's gaze for a moment.

The heartbeat in the chest also accelerated at this moment.

Qi Ying, who didn't know it at all, looked at the reflection of the river and noticed Itachi's eyes.

"Itachi, is there something on my face?"

"No, no." Itachi quickly turned his head away after recovering.

"Oh, don't worry, it's still a long time, just take your time, and it will always work out." Qi Ying showed a gratified smile and patted Itachi's small head.

"Um"
