The weather in the Land of Water has always been rainy, and more than half of the four seasons are in continuous rain.Although the locals have long been used to this kind of weather, people from other villages are often caught off guard by the sudden rain.The old man smiled and leaned aside, directing his granddaughter to serve tea for everyone, and then thoughtfully handed over a dry towel.

Almost all the people who came to this store were soaked travelers, and further outside was the spacious avenue with endless streams of people, which was the only way to go from the country of water to other countries.Relying on this small stall, the old man provides warm tea, simple food and a simple shelter for the guests. The business is actually very good, at least enough for the grandparents and grandchildren to live on.In addition, the old man who has been guarding this stall for so many years has also trained his ability to read and know people.After all, not all the law-abiding citizens who pass by this stall may occasionally have a ninja-sama with a violent temper.Therefore, it is very important to accurately determine the identity of the guests and carefully keep yourself away from the edge of trouble.This small shop that has received countless customers is still intact, which is one of the things the old man is most proud of.At this moment, he is lazily smoking the cigarettes he made, while pointing to his granddaughter with a smile on his face.

"...A lot of things can be reflected from the clothes of the guests. Look, for example, these two people,"

He casually pointed to the person walking slowly in the distance, and when he was about to speak, his face suddenly darkened.

"grandfather?"

The granddaughter who listened carefully looked at him puzzled.

"Hide quickly, little leaf! That's treason!"

The old man stood up abruptly, and while pushing his granddaughter into the inner room, he tidied up his things in a panic, making this small stall look a little tidier.In his life, he only encountered such a person as rebellious and ninja twice, but those two experiences were like nightmares.His father and grandfather died under the impact of those two battles, and only this small stall remained... He wiped his eyes, tried his best to hide the color of hatred, and then smiled went up to welcome. "Two adults..."

After seeing the appearance of those two people clearly, the old man couldn't help being taken aback.Naturally, he didn't know what the black-bottomed red cloud robes represented among ninjas, but he knew that the deep scratch on the foreheads of the two men was the beginning of the disaster.But this was not the reason why he was stunned. The high collar and the long brim of the hat covered the faces of the two, but this did not prevent him from discovering that the clothes of one of the two were completely the same. dry.He looked up at the continuous heavy rain outside the window, and shivered involuntarily.But soon he smiled, and handed the towel that he had prepared in his hand to another person who was soaked all over, "My lord, please use it."

The man nodded slightly, did not answer, but unexpectedly did not act arrogantly.The old man breathed a sigh of relief, but just as he raised his head, he suddenly met a bright red eye.He took a step back in horror, only then did he realize that the man had just taken off the bamboo hat on his head.And the red eyes... are just like the legendary ghosts.Thinking of this, he couldn't help showing a bit of fear on his face.Then, he felt his mind blurred for a while, and his mind was out of control.In the haze, it seemed that someone was asking, his lips parted uncontrollably, he said something, but he didn't seem to say anything.

Itachi Uchiha stopped the delivery of chakra, and lowered his head wearily, the red Sharingan instantly turned into a pitch black color, and then returned to its original state when Orochimaru looked over.

The comatose old man was lying on the table safely, and even if he woke up, he would probably think that he had accidentally fallen asleep.Orochimaru unhurriedly lifted the earthenware teapot on the table and poured out warm water.

The slight sound of water made the world extraordinarily quiet. "No one who looks like Isota Jinchuriki passes here."

After a while, Itachi broke the silence and spoke first.

"kindness,"

Orochimaru turned his face sideways, "Then the next task is for Didara and Scorpion. It's just...Itachi-kun,"

The golden eyes looked straight at the pale young man, "For this kind of mission object, you don't need to use Sharingan?"

"..."

The black-haired young man was silent for a while, then said, "I see."

There was no trace of expression on the young man's stern face, which looked resolute and cold, "Did Ah Fei look for you before we set off?"

He pondered for a while, then asked.

Orochimaru nodded slightly, recounted the conversation with A Fei, narrowed his eyes at the same time, and found a trembling expression on Itachi's face.

"Uchiha Madara, did he say that?"

Uchiha Itachi quickly suppressed the excess emotions, and asked in a tone that could be called indifference.

"Yes,"

Orochimaru also took off the bamboo hat on his head, "So I can't go to Konoha recently, and you also need to restrain yourself."

Uchiha Itachi didn't speak, but slightly tightened his hand on the table.

Orochimaru glanced at him indifferently, and said coldly, "Itachi-kun, have you forgotten your wish?"

"Do not,"

The young man answered him briefly—since the night of genocide, this person has become more and more silent every day—he lowered his eyes, "I will never forget...and that price too."

He raised his hand to caress his only blood-colored eye, and said expressionlessly, "It's just that it still takes time."

Orochimaru glanced at him, even though he clearly understood what this person was hiding, he was not angry at being deceived.Itachi only has one eye left, and the loss of the other eye will naturally increase when using power.This situation is caused by him, how can we hide it from him.It won't be long before Itachi's eyes can't see anything clearly, and I'm afraid that in the end, all he gets is a useless eye.Uchiha Itachi didn't say anything at the moment, just to prolong the time he sheltered Sasuke.

However, how long can such a time last?

Orochimaru remained silent, then stood up and walked into the rain again.

[The four generations of Hokage are all people, in the battle with the kingdom of water, they have... sacrificed. ] The voice of the three generations back then resurfaced in the man's ears.That's just an excuse, no one knows better than him why Jieren died.However, this place, this cloudy weather... Orochimaru's eyes became colder and filled with countless deep and gloomy things.He glanced at Uchiha Itachi who was following up, and heard the little girl's trembling but pretending to be calm voice, "Welcome...the guest will come again next time."

The continuous heavy rain has no tendency to stop, and the sky is gloomy without a ray of sunlight, as if it is a place where stars have fallen, burying the only light.Orochimaru raised his head slightly, the rainwater was evaporated by something invisible before it dripped on his body, his golden eyes stared straight at the sky without hindrance, and Orochimaru clenched the one in his clothes reel.It was a brand new scroll, obviously just written, and the seal was still intact.The four bright red characters placed on it seemed to be stained with the temperature of blood because of the killing just now.Reincarnation from the dirty soil, he did not study this technique, but this time he accidentally found this scroll during the mission in the land of water.After going around and going around, this ninjutsu finally appeared in his hands, and he had no time to think about the so-called inertia of fate. Orochimaru's cold eyebrows fluctuated a little, and then he sneered.

The country of water is really unpleasant.

##################################### "Yo West - Go!"

Naruto turned around abruptly, and shouted to the group of people behind him.

"What are you excited about?"

Sakura sighed and asked helplessly.

"Because I've never been outside the village before!"

The boy looked around excitedly and smirked.However, Uncle Dazna's words made him stop, "Hey, is that kind of brat really all right?"

"Hehe, don't worry if you have Jonin like me following you."

Kakashi stroked his forehead, and sighed as he looked at the lively young man in front of him.

"Hey, uncle, don't look down on ninjas!"

Naruto pointed his index finger angrily, "I am very strong, I will become Hokage sooner or later!"

"Really?"

Dazna gave him a suspicious look, and whispered to himself, "No matter how you look at it, it looks very unreliable."

"Hahahaha, this time I will let you see how good I am..."

Naruto was still intoxicated in his fantasy, but suddenly Sasuke knocked his forehead.

"What are you doing, bastard Sasuke!"

Naruto hugged his head and cried out for pain, glaring at the cold boy angrily.

Sasuke sneered, "Sure enough, you have forgotten that the tail of the crane is the tail of the crane."

"what?"

Naruto looked at him suspiciously, holding his head and thinking about it, and suddenly he jumped up, "I remembered! Big..."

As soon as he was about to shout out, Sasuke, who had been prepared, covered his mouth, "Idiot!"

He dragged him behind, you want everyone to know? "

"Woooo..."

"That person said not to tell others about his existence."

As Sasuke said this, he paid attention to the movement around him.Sure enough, no trace could be found... The young man frowned, once again realizing the gap between himself and that person.Naruto in his hand was still struggling, "Let... let go!"

The boy let go subconsciously. "Bastard... bastard! I almost died!"

Naruto broke free all of a sudden, taking a big gulp of air.

"It's just that you are too weak."

Sasuke snorted coldly.Naruto was about to jump up again, but suddenly remembered something, he hugged his head and said, "It's over, I haven't completed the previous multiple shadow clone technique..."

"Oh, so you haven't finished it yet."

As a cold voice suddenly sounded, Naruto felt that he might not be able to wait until the day when he became Hokage.
