Hokage - Mirror Love

"But, I don't want to go back." Eri pursed her lips a little depressed, "It's hard to see you."

"..." Itachi looked away and looked ahead calmly, "If you don't return to Konoha, they will worry about you."

"...No, Naruto is the only one who worries about me, and if it's you, I think Naruto probably..."

Perhaps instead, she hoped that she would take this opportunity to leave Konoha. Naruto was more or less aware of her being watched by Konoha, but he did not show any dissatisfaction. Although Naruto was angry for her, he could not change the status quo.

"Really, I probably understand." Itachi's expression softened a little as if he had really penetrated her thoughts, "I can take care of you temporarily, but you still have to go back to Konoha in the end."

For the time being... But that's much better than being sent back right away, and she can use various reasons to extend the temporary statute of limitations.

Itachi looked up at Kisame, who immediately understood, "Okay, okay, I'll avoid it, I'll go back to my room."

After speaking, Kisame disappeared from the room in an instant.

"..." Eri looked at Itachi with some black lines, "I forgot to ask before, what is the relationship between you and Kisame?"

"It's a partner now." Itachi casually untied Red Cloud's black robe and put it aside, only then did Eri notice that his nails were painted black.

"...strange taste."

"..." Itachi silently glanced at her, "This is a request."

"So, what does that organization you belong to do?" Eri asked a little speechlessly. There was a deep scratch on Kisame's Kirigakure forehead, just like Itachi's Konoha forehead. The sign of rebellious ninja, if they can become partners, Kisame is at least A-level rebellious ninja, and the danger is self-evident.

Maybe itachi's organization has other rebel ninjas from different ninja villages. In this way, no matter how you look at it, this organization feels very dangerous. Itachi must have some purpose in joining this organization.

But Itachi spread the quilt silently, and didn't seem to want to answer her. Eri pursed her lips and hesitated for a while, then asked tentatively, "Itachi...why did you meet Naruto?"

Sasuke went after Naruto, and it was understandable to meet Itachi, but Itachi, who was supposed to leave, appeared in front of Naruto, and Naruto has such a special identity as Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. I don't think much about it.

"He is the legacy of the fourth generation." Itachi finally spoke, his tone still calm, "Eri, don't think too much, I won't do anything to Naruto."

"...The inheritance of the fourth generation?" Eri was stunned for a while, and couldn't help but recall that when the fourth generation died, he sealed the Nine Tails on the newly born Naruto, and Naruto and the fourth generation were similar in gold. Yellow hair and blue eyes...

Is Naruto a child of the fourth generation?Eri covered her mouth in surprise, "But, but, if it is a child of the fourth generation, he should be the child of a hero. Why does everyone in Konoha Village treat him..."

Did Sandai think that Naruto would hate his father for sealing Nine Tails on him?

When she took on the heavy responsibility of taking care of Naruto, Naruto couldn't even tell whether the food had expired or not. Even with Eri taking care of him, he would often eat badly, and his living habits were a mess. I really don't know how he got here alone. .

"Disgust only exists in the eyes of those who have seen Nine-Tails, and disgust will pass with time," Itachi had already made the bed, "Three generations also did this to protect him."

Eri was silent. She probably could understand the thoughts of the third generation. After all, children of the same generation as Naruto did not know his life experience, but those children could feel the attitude of their parents and adults around him, and their words and deeds would be affected to some extent. Influence it.

The head was patted lightly, Eri looked up and saw Itachi had already put on the black robe of red cloud, "Let's go, I'll take you to eat something."

"Does it have to be so conspicuous?" Eri watched Itachi put on the bamboo hat indifferently, covering the Konoha forehead protector on his head, and then stretched out her hand to her.

"..." Eri stared at the hand and remained silent for a while, "Itachi...does this mean to hold me?"

"You don't like it?" Itachi's expression didn't change at all, as if there was really nothing wrong with this.

Is she the only one who thinks too much?

Seeing Eri's face flushed slightly because of embarrassment, Itachi raised the corners of her mouth slightly, raised her hand, and flicked her forehead lightly, "I'm lying to you."

"Uh!" Eri subconsciously stretched out her hand to cover her forehead. For some reason, she felt her heart beating again. After a few seconds of blank mind, Eri stood up stiffly, "Let's go, let's go."

Pushing open the door, Eri glanced at Kisame's room next door, "Why don't you call Kisame?"

"He's not here anymore." Itachi replied calmly, with a very accustomed tone.

It feels like the relationship between Itachi and Kisame is quite good, Eri thought silently.

After following Itachi out of the hotel, there is a bustling commercial street outside. This is a small town very far from Konoha, but it seems that it has not yet gone out of the range of the Fire Country. After all, Itachi's body can't support the long journey.

Although there are quite a lot of people on the street, the expressions of these people seem to be preoccupied. The shopkeepers on both sides of the street also have a lifeless feeling, and they have no enthusiasm for greeting customers at all. The whole town is surrounded. A heavy and depressing atmosphere enveloped.

Eri glanced at a steamed stuffed bun shop. Although there were steaming steamed buns on the steamer at the door of the shop, the owner of the shop was sitting in a dark corner of the house, looking at Eri passing by the door with a strange look. .

After taking a few quick steps to keep up with Itachi, Eri grabbed Itachi's sleeve uneasy, "Itachi, I think this town is a bit strange."

Itachi probably sensed something was wrong a long time ago, pulled down the bamboo hat to completely hide his face, and then walked into a restaurant with Eri.

The atmosphere of this restaurant was no different from that on the street. There were a few people sitting sparsely in the restaurant eating, and when they entered the door, their eyes focused on them.

Is this town actually very exclusive?Eri was a little terrified by the eyes of those people in the store, so she didn't have an appetite to eat at all. She tugged Itachi's sleeve and shook her head cautiously, signaling that she didn't want to eat here.Itachi glanced at her, then looked back blankly, and walked out of the shop.

"Itachi, let's go back first." Eri glanced at the streets on both sides of her uncomfortably, "I'm not very hungry now, even if I'm hungry, I can still eat military food pills."

The implication is that she would rather hide at home and eat military food pills than walk on the streets of this small town. She always feels affected by this atmosphere, and her originally happy mood has become dull.

Back on the second floor of the hotel where they were staying, Kisame leaned against the wall at the door of their room, looking like he was waiting for them.

"After checking the news a little, it seems that a lot of things have happened in this small town recently." Guixiong pushed open the door and walked into the room, "The feeling of being spied on when I stayed here is really not an illusion."

So they already noticed it?

"It seems that since a month ago, people have been missing in the town. Not long ago, they also entrusted Konoha to solve the problem, but the ninja who came to carry out the mission also disappeared." Kisame smiled inexplicably. Standing up, "What do you think, Mr. Itachi?"

"..." Itachi remained expressionless, "If the ninja who came to set out the mission did not respond, Konoha would not let it go, but now that Konoha has suffered heavy injuries and the village's defense force is weak, we will not send people over for the time being. Well, when the village stabilizes, there will probably be a stronger team to investigate."

"Then we can't stay in this place for too long?" Eri asked curiously, after all, Itachi and Kisame probably don't want to meet Konoha head-on right now.

Itachi nodded, then looked down at her, obviously thinking about something.

"Itachi, you, you wouldn't leave me here, would you?" Eri shook her head vigorously, "Don't do that."

"..." Itachi frowned slightly, with a vacillating light in his eyes, and Eri looked at him nervously. If Itachi said he couldn't take her with him, should she try to persuade Itachi or just wait here obediently to be wooden Ye who found out?

After weighing it in her heart, Eri still doesn't want to go back to the place where her every move is closely monitored. Even though Konoha is relatively safer, she still likes freedom.

This time, while Konoha was still in chaos, she was able to leave smoothly. If she was sent back, she would probably be monitored more carefully. After all, she had contact with the rebel Itachi, anyway, this is too coincidental up.

"It doesn't matter if you take her with you," Guixie grinned nonchalantly, "Anyway, the boss hasn't given us any mission recently."

"We are the target in the eyes of many people, you should know, Kisame," Itachi patted Eri's head, "It is indeed difficult to explain if you are caught here, but it is too dangerous to follow us, rest first One night, I will send you back to Konoha tomorrow."

"You said just now that you can follow temporarily..." Eri pursed her lips, feeling an unspeakable sense of loss in her heart, "But, I don't want to go back."

There was a little helplessness in Itachi's eyes, "Eri, don't be willful, Konoha is the safest for you."

"It's not self-willed!" Eri retorted subconsciously, looked up and saw Itachi's serious expression, and immediately became less confident, "...Okay, okay, I admit that I am self-willed, but I really don't want to go back to Mu Ye, if I am in danger, I will hide myself from anyone, okay, Itachi?"

"..." Itachi lowered his head and looked at Eri with serious eyes, "Why, you have to follow me?"

"Eh?" Eri was taken aback, "Because... Itachi is my most important friend."

"But, I don't regard you as a friend now." Itachi's tone did not hesitate at all, as if this was a fact he had already recognized.

"...What?" Eri was stunned for a moment, and asked with some doubts, "What did you say just now?"

"He said he didn't regard you as a friend." Guixie repeated with some schadenfreude.

"...that...what do you mean?" Eri couldn't help but took two steps back, looked at Itachi in disbelief, and said in a tone of pleading, "Itachi, you're joking, aren't you?"

"No," Itachi almost immediately denied her thoughts, without even giving her a chance to breathe, "it's literally, Eri, I'm serious."?
