Two black shadows jumped between the trees dozens of meters high, flashing several times, and they had already crossed a distance of 100 meters.

Yu Xiaobai looked up at the sky cut by dense branches and leaves, the sunlight was trying to squeeze down with difficulty, he passed by a few slender pillars of light, the time has been so boring for a long time, probably calculated, at least an hour to go.

Rain Ninja Village is located in the belly of the mainland, but there is a strange atmosphere of perennial heavy rain, bordering the six countries, between the three major ninja villages, life is actually quite bad. In a land of perennial wars, this geographical location has not become a hub of wealth, but a chaotic area of mixed characters, merchants, traitors, samurai, political prisoners, and evil that cannot be suppressed in the rain-soaked soil.

Yu Xiaobai and Itachi don't have too far to go to Yunin Village, but they also have to cross most of the Fire Country, and if they don't march in a hurry, the ordinary speed of Shangnin's journey will take two days and two nights.

At this time, Yu Xiaobai ran ahead, both of them wearing masks and dark clothes. When jumping out of this wood, his vision became wide and bright, and he was running on the grass, Yu Xiaobai couldn't help but look back at the weasel behind him.

"It's been an hour since I was on the road at a uniform pace, why don't you say a word about this goods."

Yu Xiaobai secretly slandered himself, although ninjas should be cautious in their words and deeds in the mission, but now there is still a long way to go to the border of the Fire Country, how embarrassing it is for everyone to hurry up and not speak on the way, forget it alone, and it is not embarrassing to run.

"Ahem." Yu Xiaobai thinks that this is not good, it is estimated that people with the character of Itachi will definitely not talk nonsense to strangers for no reason, and they can only rely on themselves to save the atmosphere.

"Hey, that Uchiha Itachi...... Is it okay to call you a weasel? ”

"Of course it's no problem, Senior Yubai." Itachi put his attention when Yu Xiaobai coughed lightly, but his face was hidden in the mask and he couldn't see his expression clearly, and his tone was not turbulent.

"Alright, Itachi, did you eat before you set off at noon?"

Itachi: "......"

I don't know if it's Yu Xiaobai's illusion, but when he finished speaking, the figure of the Uchiha genius behind him seemed to shake for a moment.

"I've already eaten at home, Yu Bai's seniors ......" Itachi controlled his rhythm and followed Yu Xiaobai steadily, although he was extremely talented, his age was still a hard injury, and his physical strength and strength were actually slightly worse (relative), Weasel hesitated, but still said, "Yu Bai senior...... Didn't you have lunch? ”

"Eat it." Yu Xiaobai said as a matter of course, he successfully opened the topic, and he felt quite happy.

Itachi's eyelids jumped, and a relatively rare emotion rose in his heart, that is, he felt that the seniors in front of him were very indebted, "That's it." What else could he say.

"Topic Buster." Yu Xiaobai commented on Itachi in his heart, but he didn't know that his level of awkward chat was not good, "By the way, you don't have to call me senior, we don't have much age difference, you can usually call me Yu Bai." ”

Itachi, who is not old but has the cultivation and etiquette of a big family, didn't agree very much when he heard it, but he was just about to habitually say the refusal of "this is not good", and his eyes met the kind eyes that Yu Xiaobai looked back at, but for some reason, he unconsciously changed his words in his mouth.

"That's... All right. ”

Itachi paused for a few seconds, then added, "But only in normal times. ”

During the task period, it is still necessary to maintain a strict relationship between superiors and subordinates, Yu Xiaobai nodded, and it is not difficult to speak. But perhaps, I haven't experienced those cruel things yet.

After this discourse, although there was no nutrition, there was indeed a lot less jerkiness between the two, Yu Xiaobai felt that the goal had been achieved, and after chatting a few words, he concentrated on hurrying.

The almost unchanged scenery kept being left behind, and Itachi looked at Yu Xiaobai's back in a dark coat with some confusion, and his previous eyes appeared in his mind.

It's strange that this look doesn't look like the kind of look at strange juniors, it seems...... I've known each other for a long time, but it's not exact.

"He's an interesting person." Out of sight, Itachi smiled.

……

The sun continued to set westward, and under the changing shadows, Yu Xiaobai and Weasel rested for a while, and then continued to hurry. Villages passed by along the way, and occasionally some towns, when the other side of the mountain was infected by a red light, and the magnificent sunset slowly sank, Yu Xiaobai and Itachi came to the predetermined destination, a big city called Daoqing.

"It's a lot more prosperous."

Walking on the avenue outside the city, Yu Xiaobai looked at the towering city wall in sight, in the evening, the dense flow of people continued to come and go, a few years ago, when he passed by here on the way back from a mission, it was not like this.

Yu Xiaobai sighed alone about the development of the country of fire in peacetime, and the weasel naturally couldn't say anything on the side, and he was far from having a great feeling for these.

The two took off some conspicuous masks, except for the forehead guards they wore, they looked no different from the others, and relied on the tokens issued by the village to enter the city without any problems.

Daoqingcheng happened to be on the route, and they would rest here tonight, but the next night, they would camp in the wilderness.

They have a certain amount of reimbursement for tasks of this nature, and Yu Xiaobai has been a ninja for so many years, and he usually doesn't have much expense, and he has a lot of savings, but he will naturally not be polite if he can spend it publicly. After getting two high-standard hotel rooms, the streets are already lit up with lights and the noise of the night market.

"Itachi, do you want to go for a walk at night, it's rare to come to the big city." Yu Xiaobai is not very accustomed to being the captain this time, although he has been excellent in the past, but he has very little experience in leadership. When he was idle for a while, Yu Xiaobai thought about it and asked according to the habits left by modern society.

"No need, I'm going to train for a while and then rest, and I have to go tomorrow." Itachi changed into lighter clothes at this time, and was about to go downstairs with a ninja bag.

"Oh yes." Yu Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, Itachi went to a place outside the city, and the curfew of ordinary people couldn't stop the two of them from being a veteran ninja.

Watching Itachi's back disappear, Yu Xiaobai felt a faint embarrassment of being rejected, but he quickly recovered and was motivated by this. "In the rush stage in the early stage of the mission, they don't leave behind the daily training, and many people really only see success, not sweat, even if the other party is a genius."

Yu Xiaobai thought of his troublesome crossing problem, and this time he might be able to face up to Xiao's people in the past...... Yu Xiaobai, who didn't really want to go shopping, simply didn't change his clothes, jumped directly on the eaves of the hotel, and left in the opposite direction to Itachi just now.

Practicing alone in the open space outside the city, shuriken throwing, basic three-body technique...... Yu Xiaobai focused on starting to strengthen the nature change of Chakra, and he wanted to develop a new technique.

When Yu Xiaobai was covered in sweat and returned to the hotel in the white light of a moonlit night, he happened to meet the ferret who had also returned from training.

The other party was still panting slightly, just came out of the darkness and jumped onto the eaves, glanced at Yu Xiaobai strangely, and the two suddenly became symmetrical.

Standing alone at one end of the roof, Yu Xiaobai paused, and then held back a sentence for a long time, "Hi." ”

Itachi was silent for a few seconds, his lips moved, and finally he said in a rusty voice.

"Hey."
