Chapter 1: The Traverser
The golden autumn sunshine is warm and tranquil, the autumn breeze in Dong Township is gentle and gentle, and the blue sky and white clouds are elegant and melodious. The beauty of autumn is colorful, but some beautiful scenery is not something that can be appreciated and touched at some special times.
In a dense wood, three figures hurried by, their soles squeaking on the fallen leaves and broken branches on the ground.
"Captain, how long do you have to get to your destination?" One of the three figures asked. At the age of fourteen or fifteen, his face is shrewd, but he is also childish.
"It should be soon!" The captain answered, bowed his head and calculated slightly, "I've been to that arming site once, and if I'm not mistaken, it's about 10 kilometers away!" ”
"It's fine!" The other person breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, "It's been 4 days since I left the village, and I didn't rest and replenish halfway, speaking of the captain, it's just an ordinary change of guard mission, why are we in such a hurry?" ”
"Is this" The captain was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously touched the ninja bag on his waist, and then said with a relaxed voice: "Lord Kuraki is going to leave for Konoha tomorrow, Lord Thunder Shadow wants us to rush over as much as possible, mainly to let Lord Kuraki rest a lot to prepare for any problems that may occur in Konoha!" ”
Kuraki-sama is leaving tomorrow, so it's not bad to rest, right? Besides, Konoha has already confirmed the truce, so what else can I deal with? After hearing this, the two of them were puzzled. Although they want to ask, they are just middle ninjas, and it is better to obey orders in the face of leading the team than to be ninjas.
Rumble!
Just as the three of them were slowly moving forward with their own thoughts, a violent explosion suddenly struck!
"Be careful! It's a trap! The leader of the team yelled.
The explosions continued, and many of the surrounding trees were already burning, and choking smoke and blinding firelight filled the woods.
"Tatsuno!" A middle ninja saw his companion lying in the distance covered in blood and didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and anxiously called his companion's name!
"There's no time for him! Alert now! Seeing that a subordinate had been plotted, Shangnin gritted his teeth and gave an order!
"Yes!" Although I don't do it, I can only obey the orders of my boss in front of me! There was a crackling, the sound of trees burning in the firelight jumping, and the originally beautiful autumn colors of the forest were rendered miserable by the flames.
Whoosh! The sound of breaking the air is coming! A few kunai shot out of a corner in the woods at the two of them!
"Separate dodge!" In the smoke and fire, it is impossible to tell how many hidden weapons are coming, and Shangnin can only choose to dodge in different directions with his subordinates to avoid being wiped out!
Ding Ding Ding! A few more kunai shots shot out, hitting the earlier kunai with a crisp metallic crashing sound, and then shrouded the shinobi at a strange angle!
"Get out of the way!" Shangnin yelled!
"Ahh!!!hh
Unfortunately, it was already late.
Covered in blood, he fell to the ground, and Nakashinobi's back, chest, and even thighs were pierced by kunai! The eyes are wide and dry, and only the unconscious pumping of the body remains!
His eyes widened in disbelief, and he looked at the two subordinates who had been killed. That kind of throwing skill of forbearance, is it?
As if to seal his thoughts, a figure jumped down from the tree lightly, standing quietly in a firelight and looking at him, while in the bright red pupils of the figure, the three rounds of Magatama slowly turned.
"Uchiha" didn't dare to look directly into those eyes, and Shangnin just subconsciously glanced at the figure and the muscles at the corners of his mouth twitched and said the name of the person!
"Ling"
Thirteen or fourteen-year-old boys, without forehead guards, dressed in black single clothes and black ninja vests, with bandages wrapped around his calves and arms! The black hair sticks to the cheeks, the skin is so pale that it is almost transparent, the slightly feminine face and the corners of the eyes are raised to a strange neutral beauty! This kid was famous in the ninja world a few years ago, and is known as a super genius who is no less talented than the fourth Hokage of Konoha! Ling Uchiha!
At the age of 7, he had a writing wheel, at the age of 8, he was promoted to a middle ninja, at the age of 10, he became a special ninja, and a year later he became a shinobi! The 11-year-old Shinobi is crazy just thinking about it!
"Konoha and Yunyin have confirmed the truce! Your Excellency is ambushing us now, aren't you afraid of provoking a dispute between the two countries?! "It's somewhat ridiculous to address a child a few years younger than himself. But in the ninja world, it is never age that determines status, but strength!
Uchiha Ling was silent when he heard this, just looking at him quietly with those blood-red eyes! The look was not like looking at a person, but at a piece of beef, and it seemed that he was hesitating where to cut first.
Looking at the eyes of the Uchiha Ling, Shangnin knew that he was in danger today!
Damn it! It doesn't make sense! I'm just a nameless ninja, and the two middle ninjas in the team are also temporary ninjas with no talent at all, and it's precisely because of this that Lord Thunder Shadow wants me to send a letter to Lord Kuraki! But why was he ambushed by this monster? There's no reason for that! Could it be
"Did you think of that?" The clear voice sounded, like flowing water, but there was a hint of hoarseness.
Is it "impossible!" This is the mission that Lord Thunder Shadow has secretly instructed me! There's no reason to be discovered! How could there be a spies!
Suddenly, when he was still in shock, Shangnin found that the world in front of him had completely disappeared, leaving only the huge eyes that covered the sky staring at him, and the three-wheeled black magatama exuded infinite malice
It's night, the Uchiha clan's station.
"Well done! Insult! A middle-aged man complimented the ninja kneeling in front of him.
"You're overrated, Lord Fugaku." Lowering his eyes slightly, Ling's tone was light but the etiquette was perfect. After all, the man in front of him is the current head of the Uchiha clan, and there are some elders of the real power faction here, so they can't be neglected.
"You're doing a great job! If you hadn't killed the Cloud Hidden Ninja who almost escaped from you and Itachi the other day, we wouldn't know they were up to the task! Fu Yue's tone was a little fierce, and his eyes were meaningful with the scroll Ling brought back from Yuyin in his hand, "I didn't expect that not only did I have ill intentions towards the white eyes of the Hyuga clan, but even the writing wheel eyes of our Uchiha clan dared to peep!" ”
The scroll contains the message to be transmitted. Order the elite Upper Ninjakura Kimoto and the leader ninja who led the peace talks this time to steal the secret of the Hyuga family and the Uchiha family's bloodline limit at the same time! That is the leader of the team who kidnapped the daughter of the head of the Hyuga clan, Hinata Hinata who was only five years old! The target of Kurakimoto's mission is the youngest son of the head of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Sasuke, who is the same age as Hinata Hinata!
"So, what about the head of the family?" In the room, an old man asked.
Putting the scroll on the table, Fugaku's tone was playful, "Since this scroll has been intercepted by Ling, then our Uchiha family doesn't have to worry, just strengthen our precautions appropriately, as for the Hyuga clan, it has nothing to do with us!" ”
"Hehe" For a while, some malicious laughter continued to sound. And Ling, who was kneeling, just glanced at the laughing crowd and lowered his eyes again and was silent.
"Ling! How did you think about your last request? Seeing that Ling was silent, the old man spoke again.
"Last time you said you were going to think about it for some days, now a month has passed, there should be results, right?" Another majestic voice rang out.
"I'm sorry." After a slight silence, he raised his head slightly, Ling glanced at the people in the room and said lightly: "I am not suitable for the dark department." Itachi and Shisui have both agreed, and it doesn't make much sense to join in with me. ”
"Not suitable?" The owner of the voice raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously a little dissatisfied with this answer.
"The reason is too far-fetched!" The old man's voice also sank slightly, and his sharp eyes stared at Ling Hou and looked at Fu Yue, "What does the family master think?" ”
After hearing this, he looked at Ling quietly, and Fu Yue spoke: "The three geniuses of the Uchiha family have all joined the dark department, which is conducive to our control of the dark department on a larger scale!" But this will also affect the strength of the garrison, Konoha has always wanted to take back the garrison from us, and it is indeed not the best time for them to enter the shadows at this time. Frowning slightly, Fu Yue finally made a decision, "Let Ling still serve in the garrison for the time being, the affairs of the dark department will not be able to be controlled soon, so there is no hurry." ”
Fugaku's words make a lot of sense. As the outstanding genius of the Uchiha clan, Itachi, Shisui, and Ling all three of them join the dark department, and there will be no outstanding talents in the garrison. Among the three, Ling is the oldest, and his means of handling things are also the best, if Ling also joins the dark department, it will indeed be too contemptuous of the garrison. However, it is rare for the Konoha high-level to let go of the Uchiha clan to have the opportunity to intervene in the shadows, and all the powerful people here do not want to give up this rare opportunity. The garrison and the dark department, the Uchiha clan don't want to give up!
"Alright, it's getting late, so let's all go back first." There was no perfect solution to the matter, so Fugaku decided to end the meeting first and leave the problem for later to solve it slowly.
"Then," Ling stood up slightly, bowing to everyone in the room, "I'll take my leave first." ”
"Well, be careful on the road." Everyone also gestured to Ling Jaw.
Leaving the clubhouse and walking alone on the street, Ling's love was a little low, and the dim light of the street lamp pulled his shadow a little lonely.
The night breeze in late autumn was a little cool, the fallen leaves were scattered, and the black hair on his cheeks was gently blown, Ling looked back at the club he had just walked out of, and a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes, "I can't even save my life, and I'm still thinking about those meaningless rights."
Bowing his head and muttering to himself, Ling slowly clenched his fists, the cold night made him uneasy and powerless.
Obviously, Yunyin is just watching the blood inheritance limit of the Hyuga family, but now he is even eyeing the writing wheel eyes of the Uchiha clan, is it a butterfly effect? What's more important than this, Itachi is 10 years old, although it is not clear at what age Itachi joined the dark part, but now the Uchiha clan has begun to train Itachi and Shisui in the dark part, and the time left for me is only three years, but me
Shaking his head in annoyance, Ling quickened his pace and walked in the direction of home
