"But this girl has a disappointed look on her face...

Shintsuen stared at Itachi Uchiha unrelentingly, trying to see something on his face.

"Where... Where is there ... ”

Izumi Uchiha stood up from the bench in shock, and her pretty face turned the color of a puff puff that looked like an apple that was not yet ripe.

"Hehe。。。。。"

Shintsuen looked at the embarrassed Uchiha Itachi, covered her mouth and laughed,

"I'm kidding you. By the way, I heard that you have been promoted to a middle ninja, congratulations, Itachi. ”

Izumi sat back on the bench with a red face, bowing her head and not daring to speak.

"Thank you."

Uchiha Itachi breathed a sigh of relief, if Shintsuen continued the topic just now, he really didn't know what to say.

"It seems that I am not the right person to be a ninja."

Xin Quan put the menu in his hand on the table.

"Although I didn't become a ninja because of Kurama Izumo's death, half of the reason was because of you...

"Because of me?"

Itachi Uchiha was stunned.

"yes. It's because I look at a genius like you up close every day. I wonder every day, is it really good to continue to be a ninja with my talent? And then I felt very sad every day. Finally I figured it out, no matter how hard I tried, I could only look up to your back. So the next day I gave up ... ”

A voice calling for Xinquan came from the back of the store.

Xinquan was in a good mood and let out a giggle while waving at Itachi.

"I'm going to help first, I'll come back when the menu is decided."

Xinquan left with a smile.

"It seems that Shinquan has become a lot more cheerful after not being a ninja."

Uchiha Itachi muttered to himself.

"Itachi is really amazing."

There was a voice from the side of Izumi.

"No, I don't. Xinquan is joking... ”

"A ninja like this who has the talent to cut off other people's ninja is only afraid of you. And I... ”

"You were able to graduate a year early, and you would have graduated next year, didn't you? You're already amazing. ”

Itachi Uchiha comforted.

Because of her outstanding performance in the ninja school, Izumi Uchiha graduated from the ninja school early this year, and her performance in several missions after becoming a shinobi was also quite good.

"Isn't that a talent?"

Izumi Uchiha was lying on the table, the expression on her face looking a little lost, and her eyes were faintly shining.

"There's something I want to ask you, why did you become a ninja?"

Uchiha Itachi asked.

After Xinquan gave up his ninja qualification, his personality became a lot more cheerful, and maybe Izumi could too...

He thought to himself.

"Ahh

Izumi Uchiha looked up at Itachi.

"After becoming a ninja, there will inevitably be battles when you go on missions. These fights usually bring painful memories that a girl like you doesn't have to go through. Look at Xinquan.,I'm much happier now than when I was a ninja before.。。。 ”

"Because my dad is a ninja."

"Is that why you want to be a ninja?"

Itachi Uchiha was a little surprised.

"It's not just that."

Her answer was firm, and anger loomed in her black eyes under her long eyelashes.

Uchiha Itachi looked at her with some confusion, not understanding where her anger was coming from.

"I want to follow the same path as the person I like, are you satisfied with this reason...

She smiled as she spoke, stood up on the bench, and turned to leave.

Tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, dazzling her beautiful face.

She didn't look back.

"What's the matter, you made her cry?"

Xinquan didn't know when she stood at the table.

"Uh-huh..."

Sasuke Uchiha nodded as if he didn't understand.

Uchiha Itachi didn't answer, and looked at Izumi's departing back in silence.

。。。。。。。。

Sarutobi gulped down his cigarette pouch and made a "click, click" sound.

Tuan Zang looked at him quietly, not saying a word.

"Even if you've always favored Uchiha Itachi, you wouldn't have agreed to this matter so readily. After all, he's the Uchiha clan... ”

Ape Fei Ri asked in a tentative tone.

"Uchiha Itachi is a once-in-a-century ninja. Such ninjas can't be wasted even by the Uchiha clan, and the most important thing is to benefit the village... ”

Danzang calmly accepted his gaze that wanted to see through people's hearts.

There was silence in the room.

Sarutobi stared straight into Danzo's eyes, trying to see something inside, but in the end he failed.

"If you insist. I have no objection to the fact that Uchiha Itachi entered the shadows. But you'll need to convince Menyan and Koharu. Also, he is only eleven years old, and if he wants to enter the shadows at such a young age, he must have a convincing performance. Otherwise, it is easy to cause dissatisfaction among other people in the shadows. . . ”

Sarutobi hesitated, and as he slowly spoke, his gaze resting on the half of Tuanzang's face exposed beyond the white bandage.

"Menyan and Koharu are not a problem. They are actually very willing to see such an outstanding genius ninja enter the shadows and contribute to the village. As for the question of eligibility ... ”

Tuan Zang paused for a few seconds, still expressionless,

Then assign him a task with a difficulty level of "S" as an assessment of his entry into the shadows. ”

"S" class? He was still just a child, and even in the shadows, the success rate of completing a task of this difficulty was low. Are you sure you want to let Uchiha Itachi go? ”

Sarutobi looked at Danzou with strange eyes.

He found that he could no longer understand his old friend.

"If he can't complete a task of this difficulty, it means that he is just an ordinary ninja. Then, dying in the process of carrying out the mission is the best fate for him. ”

Danzo's voice sounded cold and unforgiving.

"That's your style, old friend..."

Sarutobi breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile crept back into his wrinkled face.

"So, can you give me this task?"

The blood in Tuanzang's body began to burn, in stark contrast to his cold face.

"Then it's hard for you."

Ape Fei Sun's attention returned to the cigarette pouch.

With the sound of "let's chirp", the purple smoke in the room became thick again.

"That's it."

Tuan Zang said coldly, turning around and leaving the room where he didn't want to stay for a second.

"Hmm...

A long, nasal voice sounded behind Danzang.

"Bang."

The wooden door slammed shut behind Danzou.

In the smoke, the face of the ape flying sun slashed looked distorted and eerie.

"So, let's see what you want to do, old friend."

Ape Fei Ri slashed to himself, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a sly smile.
