Chapter 246: Reaction

And Itachi, it's been a long time since you've seen such pure and curious eyes, right?

All along, his eyes are full of fear or contempt, or full of hatred, and among his colleagues, there is no one who dares to look at him, he has forgotten that his eyes are still the window of communication between people and hearts, because his eyes have long lost this function.

Now, in the face of Soma's exploration and provocation, he couldn't help but smile, although, that smile was only in his heart, although, he didn't know why.

Those eyes, those little hooks, all trembled at the same time, indicating the throbbing of the master's heart.

Soma apparently noticed this detail, and not only did he notice, but he was also surprised.

This surprise makes sense, because an S-class ninja will never allow any flaws in his heart, which even Soma, who is a middle ninja, is quite aware of and takes this as his goal.

So, when he noticed this, he kindly asked: "That, senior, are you okay?" ”

……

Terrible silence.

Itachi returned to his usual indifference, looking at Soma without any emotion or warmth in his eyes.

But who knows, his heart is no longer at peace.

Soma didn't know he was playing with fire, but now, he did.

Behind him, the endless meadows suddenly burst into flames, dyeing the whole sky red, but the young man slowly shrank in the firelight, and disappeared into ashes.

As a citizen of the Land of Lakes, Soma naturally knows how dangerous and difficult it is to extinguish a fire in a wetland, so his first reaction is shock, and his second reaction is to try his best to save the disaster.

"Senpai?!" Soma didn't have much time to think about what the disaster had to do with Itachi, but he couldn't ignore the man who suddenly appeared and disappeared for whatever reason.

While shouting, he took out fireworks and flares from his ninja bag and released them with shaking hands, but the whistle that should have been sharp was drowned in the burning sound of Bibi peeling, leaving no trace.

"What should I do?" Soma asked herself.

Although he did his best to save the rescue according to the instructions in the book without delay, his personal strength was really minimal.

Using a few nearby blisters and culverts as a baseline, the reeds were cleared from the area and a vacuum area about five meters wide was formed, so that the fire could not continue to spread.

However, this is just a theoretical thing, in fact, the fire is simply overwhelming, from all directions together, there is no professional fire extinguishing facilities, there is not enough manpower and material resources, he is standing here alone with his bare hands, can only watch, to be able to protect himself, not to be engulfed by the fire, it is already very good.

Soma just stood in the clearing he had cleared, waiting and watching sadly and hopefully.

Iruka-sensei should be able to notice the anomaly soon, right? Teacher Yoyo will finally be worried about me, and will come over to see it, right?

……

However, the fire is getting bigger and bigger, the fire is soaring, the heat wave is scorching, the open space five meters wide, or can block the fire, but it can't isolate the heat, the smoke and wind together, the flames are almost licking the face, Soma is soon already embarrassed, and has to retreat into the blisters on the side, although he is covered with muddy water, but the steaming water vapor can be used as a natural barrier so that he will not be roasted so quickly.

Now, it's no longer about how to put out fires, it's about how to save people!

**************************************************************************************

Looking at Soma stuck in the mire, Itachi thought for a moment, and suddenly felt someone approaching on the right and behind.

It's coming quickly...... Sure enough, can't you rest assured that you still can't trust it when you hand it over to the ghost shark?

Anyway, the person on the right should still be easier to deal with, after all, such a team is unlikely to have more than the existence of the middle ninja, as for that Yoyo......

With this in mind, Itachi slowly walked towards his right-hand side.

It was Iruka who came.

According to the previous experience, Soma should have walked through a horizontal line again, and returned to the edge to meet him, but after wandering at the junction for a long time, he didn't see Soma's figure, and finally couldn't help but leave the area he was responsible for and came here to find out.

However, as soon as he stepped across the invisible boundary line, he saw a figure, a figure that he was not familiar with, and would never be unfamiliar with.

Red cloud big cloud, writing wheel eye...... Is that, Uchiha, Itachi?

Iruka couldn't help but frown.

The Uchiha clan, why are they always so unwilling to be lonely?

Whether it's Madara before, or Sasuke later, or, in front of you, Itachi.

Without the protection of his family, he has an indescribable feeling about the collapse of the Uchiha family, and even has a special opinion about the people of the Uchiha family.

Perhaps, with a home, everything will be different, right?

His eyes looked at the figure, but he was thinking about something else.

Itachi looked at Iruka's contemplative expression, and then stopped far away, silently staring at him.

Because I was in the wilderness, didn't you treat me as an enemy? Itachi's heart couldn't help but be filled with such doubts.

However, it doesn't matter if it's an enemy or something, I just need to do my own thing, right?

The two stood like this for a few seconds, but it was Iruka who spoke first: "The one on the other side must be the Itachi of the Uchiha family, right?" So, where are you coming from, do you know about my students? "Although the other party is an S-class traitor, since it involves the safety of Soma, in terms of tone, it must not be weakened.

"Ah," Itachi replied in a lazy, low tone, even in affirmation of Iruka's question.

Iruka didn't hear the killing intent from Itachi's answer, so he relaxed a little and turned to pursue Itachi's intentions: "Then, you must know that you are a wanted person in the Land of Fire, and the land you are in now is the territory of the Land of Lakes, a vassal of the Land of Fire, please explain your intentions, otherwise, even if I am not capable enough to arrest you, I will definitely expel you from the land of the Land of Fire!" As he spoke, he had already felt kunai from behind him and placed it across his chest.

Itachi couldn't help but sigh in his heart: What a naivety! The face is still faint and lazy, and the eyes reveal a vague sadness.

"Come, do you mean? Actually, we didn't take the land of fire as our destination, we just passed by here, and as a result, we accidentally found this rehearsal, so let's see if there are any old friends. ”

"I—we?" Iruka spotted the problem.

"Yes, we, but there seems to be something wrong with my companion~~" Itachi looked back into the distance, and a figure was approaching quickly, and turned his head again, "Just like your companion is also in trouble." ”

“!” Could it be that he is already bad for Soma?! Iruka was stunned and could no longer maintain her momentum.
