Hokage - Mirror Love

?One is the well-known genius of the Hyuga clan, and the other is the unpopular crane tail in Konoha. The result of this match seems obvious, and Eri can clearly hear the discussions of the surrounding audience.

"It is impossible for him to defeat the Hyuga Clan."

"Can this kid come here? Is he so strong?"

"Hey, I heard that this child is..."

Eri shook her head, letting herself focus on Naruto on the field. He and Neji had already set up their posture and were ready to start.

The Hyuga Clan injects Chakra into acupuncture points by rolling their eyes to block the opponent's Chakra. Although Eri has heard of this combat method, she has never actually seen it. There is no one from the Hyuga Clan at the same time as her.However, from the battle between Naruto and Neji, it can be clearly seen that the Hyuga clan is very good at martial arts, and Naruto is obviously at a disadvantage.

Naruto seems to want to use the shadow part | body technique to confuse Neji's judgment, but Naruto's shadow part | Li's hands clenched involuntarily, and he couldn't help becoming a little nervous.

"The fate of a person is decided from the moment of birth." When the last shadow body disappeared, Neji said mockingly to Naruto's body.

... the fate of man?Eri was a little stunned, and couldn't help but think back to her messy life. To be honest, it was really a failed life. She couldn't do anything, couldn't protect anything, she was too weak...

Eri who was distracted was distracted by Naruto's loud roar.

"I won't give up easily!" Unwilling Naruto separated dozens of shadows | bodies, standing densely in the field, but Neji looked at him and smiled confidently, "It's useless, I already know which body it is."

As he said that, Neji rushed towards one of Naruto without hesitation, and hit him quickly and directly with his fist, "I told you it was useless."

There was blood flowing from the corner of Naruto's mouth, but he suddenly smiled, and disappeared with a bang in Neji's suspicious eyes. It turned out that this Naruto was also a clone!

Eri couldn't help but opened her eyes wide and watched the changes in the arena. The two Naruto took the opportunity to attack from behind Neji, but they were bounced away by the sudden burst of chakra on Neji's body. After that, Naruto All the attacks were easily deflected by his move, which was as indestructible as an absolute defense.

"Effort is useless, genius is genius." Ning Ci's expression was mocking and indifferent, "You lost."

"...Damn it!" Naruto struggled to get up from the ground, "I will never give up easily..."

Eri looked at the two people in the arena silently, then stood up and walked out of the arena. Her work time was about to come, so she had to leave.

have to leave?No, that's not the case, she just ran away.

Because this competition between the tail of the crane and the genius made her feel a little uncomfortable, what Ning Ci said was like a mirror in her heart, reflecting her shame, because what he said were all her inner thoughts, weren't they?

Because I don’t have enough talent, I don’t think I can become a good ninja. Because Tong affects my path, I lose my direction and don’t fight anymore. Because Itachi left me, I live in a muddle-headed life.

She didn't seem to have tried to resist, and she always thought that this was her destiny, and there was no way to change it, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't change the result.

So the positive Naruto is as dazzling as the sun to her.

What Ning Ci said was like peeling off the truest of her and exposing it to everyone, making her restless to the point of wanting to run away.

Standing under the shade of the tree and sighing slightly, the venue behind him suddenly burst into thunderous applause and cheers, Eri froze for a moment, then laughed.

Ah, what was her original goal?Yes, being a great ninja, she never forgot.

But she seems to have made a mistake. A great ninja is not the same as a powerful ninja, but a ninja who has a strong will, insists on his own path at all times, and strives to protect important things.

She who questioned her own path because she was not strong enough, but couldn't see her original purpose clearly, was really... stupid.

She didn't understand such a simple truth until now, what has she been doing these past few years.

It seems that since Itachi left, she seemed to be lost suddenly...

Eri looked up at the blue sky, who was wanted by Konoha after becoming a traitor, where is he now, and what is he doing?Do you remember a little bit about her...

"Ah, what should I do, I miss him more and more."

Probably because today is the final of the Chunin Exam, the store is a little deserted, and there are no customers. Eri wiped the table boredly, and then sat at the counter in a daze.

"Eri, if you don't have any guests today, go back earlier," the proprietress said with a smile, "I remember that Naruto was also present in today's finals, right?"

Just as Eri was about to nod, the wind chime at the door rang crisply, and two people in black cloaks and hats walked in.

"Ah, a guest is here," the proprietress patted Eri's shoulder, "I can't help it, I still have to trouble you."

"It's okay, I've already told Naruto."

Eri watched the proprietress warmly greet the two guests, and then shouted at her, "Eri, ten skewers of three-color meatballs!"

"Understood." Eri went to the back kitchen to prepare with ease, then put the meatballs on a plate and brought them out, and placed them in front of the two people.

Although their outfits are a bit strange, but recently the Chunin Exam was held, there were all kinds of strangely dressed people, and there were people wrapped in bandages as if they just came out of the hospital. Eri has long been familiar with it.

But I don't know if it's her illusion, but I always feel that the face of one of them, which is hidden under the bamboo hat, seems to be blue.

After returning to the counter with the tray in her arms, Eri scooped up two more bowls of red bean soup and brought them out, "The red bean soup with meatballs in our shop is the best."

As expected, there was no answer, but generally people with strange clothes like this don't seem to like communicating with others.

"Wait, little girl," the person whom Eri identified as having a blue face said hoarsely, "Your name is Eri, isn't it?"

Although Eri didn't do many missions, her vigilance didn't weaken at all. This way of asking questions was problematic no matter how you looked at it.

She took a step back a little later and found herself an easy place to escape, "Yeah, what's the matter?"

That person seemed to have seen through her intentions, and let out a series of hoarse laughter with unknown meanings, and the person opposite him who had remained silent all this time sighed slightly.

...Uh, what's with this familiar feeling.

Eri's heart, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly started beating fast, and she couldn't help but took two steps forward, trying to see that person's face clearly, "You..."

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Eri felt that her mouth was suddenly covered, and that person had disappeared from the meatball shop with her in an instant.

It wasn't until she settled down in an open space that Eri was released. She subconsciously turned around and grabbed his cloak, trying to see the face of that man under the cloak, and that person didn't seem to mind being spotted by Eri. He took off his hat generously.

"You, you..." Eri couldn't help but stammered looking at the face that she was very familiar with and obviously much more mature, "Well, you... haven't paid the money yet."

"..." Itachi was silent for a while, "I gave it, and put it on the table before I left."

"But I haven't asked for leave yet, so you just took me away, and my wages will be deducted for absenteeism."

"..." Itachi was completely speechless now, and silently took out a bag of coins for her.

Eri took it very smoothly, opened it for a glance, and immediately tied it up, looking at him with bright eyes, "Itachi, I didn't expect you to make so much money as a traitor!"

"..." Itachi suddenly felt that in the past five years, he had beautified Eri in his memories because of excessive missing, but in fact, she was still as stupid as she was when she was a child... she could never find the point.

"I see, you are indeed the Eri that Mr. Itachi mentioned." The person traveling with Itachi also took off his hat without any scruples, "Hello, little girl, I'm Kanshikisame, I will know you from now on. "

Eri stared blankly at Kisame, then at Itachi, and then at Kisame, then silently took two steps towards Itachi.

"..." What is this feeling of being rejected!

Kisame made a black line, then smiled and pointed out her little finger, "I heard that you used to be Mr. Itachi's horse?"

"What's a horse?" Eri asked Itachi.

"It means good friends." Itachi's face remained unchanged.

"I see," Eri nodded earnestly at Kisame, "That's right, it's the same now."

"..." Guixie silently glanced at Itachi, little girl, do you know that you have been tricked, but he decided to shut up and say nothing.

"It seems that your strength hasn't improved much." Itachi glanced at her, "You can't even recognize me."

"Uh," Eri laughed a few times in embarrassment, "Even Itachi's rebellious ninja is S-rank, and I'm just an ordinary ninja, so of course it can't be compared."

"After so many years, are you still a ninja?" Itachi's tone was filled with strong doubts.

It's a bit embarrassing, but it's true, Eri nodded honestly.

"..." Guixie silently interjected, "I said, no matter how you look at it, you two should stand in a hostile situation. The picture should not be so harmonious, okay?"

Eri glanced at the expressionless Itachi, "But I can't beat him."

"Then you can do it too," Kisame held his chin and thought for a while, "It's like turning against each other, or shedding tears of emotion. I don't feel like I haven't seen you for many years."

"No, I miss Itachi very much," Eri retorted dissatisfiedly, "and I'm super happy now, can't you see that?"

"..." Guixier complained silently in his heart, where did you show that you were happy?

"Well, I can see it." Itachi touched Eri's head, and then gave Kisame a warning look.

"Okay, I won't talk anymore." Guixie raised his hands and took a few steps back consciously, turned around and left, "Go ahead."
