Chapter 18: Spies

Kurama Izumo was right, this was a "B" class mission, but the difficulty of the mission was not too high.

The intelligence department received information that a spy from Iwakure had infiltrated a vegetable merchant in an attempt to infiltrate Konoha.

Although there are three students in the second class who have just graduated from the ninja school, the strength of the Fujiki Shinobi who leads the team is not outstanding.

But the Uchiha Itachi, who is known as the "genius" in the second class, has the family's unique blood inheritance limit - Writing Wheel Eye, and has an incomparable advantage in seeing through the enemy's disguise.

That's why the second shift will be specially delegated.

In fact, it's not so much the second class as it is the Uchiha Itachi's unique Hitomi Jutsu.

Kurama Izumo and Shintsuen are arguing, and they don't feel bored along the way.

。。。。。。。。

In the distance, a caravan in and out of Konoha fell into the field of vision of several people.

More than a dozen carts were loaded with vegetables, and the overwhelmed wheels crunched on the gravel road.

The men in the cart were shirtless, breathing "humming" from their noses, and the water marks on the bronzed skin made by beads of sweat the size of soybeans quickly disappeared without a trace under the scorching sun.

"Stay in battle formation, the spy should be in this caravan."

The vine tree shouted in a deep voice,

"It's up to you to find the spies out of these people, Itachi."

"Yes, Fujiki-sensei."

Uchiha Itachi's gaze was firmly fixed on the oncoming caravan, and the expression on his face was very calm.

Kurama Izumo and Shintsuen finally stopped arguing, and looked ahead with some uneasiness, and their right hands had unconsciously begun to reach for the ninja bag on their waists.

Wicked carts full of vegetables passed by several people one after another.

One by one, the men pushing the cart cast uneasy glances at Fujiki and his party, and some of them lowered their heads and accelerated their progress.

Uchiha Itachi suddenly took a few steps forward from the side of the road and stopped a middle-aged man with a cart.

"Uncle, can I ask you a question?"

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, stopped, and an uneasy expression appeared on his face.

The corners of Uchiha Itachi's mouth hooked a mysterious smile, nodded slightly, and several people behind him quickly surrounded the middle-aged man.

"I... I'm just a businessman... ”

The middle-aged man looked so frightened that he couldn't even speak clearly.

"Your hands ... , unlike everyone else. ”

Fujiki's eyes fell on the calloused hands of the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man's face changed drastically.

"Smack."

His left hand, hidden on one side, threw a smoke bomb.

The white smoke suddenly blocked the view of several people.

"Sure enough, it's him, chase after him."

Xinquan shouted loudly.

"Look at me, I'm a man with the nickname 'Swift Saddle Horse'. ”

Looking at the Iwakure spy who fled away from Konoha, Kurama Izumo let out a loud shout, like a sharp arrow, and shot out.

The "Swift Kurama" was not for nothing, as a cloud of rubble and dust rose behind Kurama Izumo.

In just a few seconds, Kurama Izumo came behind Iwa Shinobi.

Kurama Izumo smiled proudly, and he was very satisfied that he was able to overpower Uchiha Itachi in his first mission.

The corners of Iwa Shinobi's mouth lifted slightly, revealing a sinister smile.

He spun around sharply, and the sharp kunai in his hand stabbed Kurama Izumo's throat like lightning.

Kurama Izumo was shocked and wanted to dodge, but it was already too late.

The huge body rushed straight towards Iwa Shinobi, and it looked like he had voluntarily crashed into the kunai in Iwa Shinobi's hand.

"Be careful."

Fujiki and Shintsuen shouted in unison.

Too late.

Kurama Izumo's face was already full of despair.

Iwa Shinobu smiled and licked his lips.

It was as if he had seen Kurama Izumo's blood splattered.

Just as Kunai was about to stab Kurama Izumo, a thin figure rushed out from behind like lightning and crashed into Kunai.

Iwa Shinobu was stunned, and a smile froze on his face.

Ku Wuwu clearly pierced the human body, but it seemed to fall into the air.

There was a soft "pop".

The black-haired boy who was stabbed by the kunai suddenly exploded and turned into dozens of black crows.

"It's not good, it's a doppelganger."

As soon as the words were shouted, Iwa Shinobi was overwhelmed by countless beaks.

Dozens of black crows attacked Iwa Shinobi's face without fear of death.

Iwa Shinobu hurriedly covered his face with his hands.

The battle was quickly over, and a kunai scalpel stabbed into Iwanobi's heart from behind with precision.

He lowered his hands and struggled to turn his head to see the enemy behind him.

A dark-haired teenager who looked to be only six or seven years old, barely reaching his throat, stood quietly behind him.

The expression on his face was faint, and even his gaze was cold, and he couldn't see anything unusual.

Only the kunai effort in his hand, which was still "snapping" and dripping with blood, proved something.

Iwa Shinobi's body softened and slammed into the ground.

It's just that his eyes are wide open, and he looks like he can't look dead.

。。。。。。。。

"Well done, it's really a "genius" Uchiha Itachi. ”

By the time Fujiki arrived, the battle was over.

Shintsuen carefully examined Iwashinobi's body.

"It's a spy of Iwa Shinobi, that's right, he has the ninja tools commonly used by ninjas and the special food pills made by Iwain Village."

"That's great."

Fujiki breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Kurama Izumo, who was still slumped to the ground.

Kurama Izumo had just escaped from the hands of death, and his pale face still had a frightened expression.

Shintsuen stood up from the ground with her waist crossed and looked at Kurama Izumo,

"Hey, I say, don't you have anything to say to Itachi?"

"Ahh What the.. What. ”

Kurama Izumo's eyebrows were raised high, and he turned his head to the side in disdain.

"If Itachi hadn't arrived in time, you'd be dead by now, shouldn't you at least say thank you?"

"You stinky woman, you really don't know what to do. I don't even know what you're talking about... ”

"People like you...

Shintsuen walked towards Kurama Izumo with a huff, his fists clenched to the ground.

"That. I say... ”

Uchiha Itachi stopped between the two of them and stretched out his hands to stop Shintsuna, who looked angry.

"It's all because of your attitude that he keeps bullying you like this. Although you're just a lower ninja, shouldn't you teach this kind of person a good lesson, but you just saved his life... ”

"Alright, Xinquan, thank you."

Uchiha Itachi looked at Shintsuen with a smile.

"Okay, whatever you want."

Xinquan sighed and turned to leave.

Fujiki was looking panicked at this time, watching from a distance, and he didn't look like a teacher at all.

Looking at his teammates and teacher in front of him, Uchiha Itachi couldn't help but sigh heavily.
