Chapter 36: The Gathering
The three of them stared nervously in the direction of the comer.
"It's Itachi Uchiha, it's okay."
It wasn't until a black-haired Uchiha Itachi appeared in sight that Yamanaka was the first to breathe a sigh of relief.
The faces of his two teammates also showed joy.
Although he is not familiar with it, the name of Uchiha Itachi's genius has long spread throughout Konoha. Being able to have such a ninja join, the safety of the three of them is undoubtedly greatly guaranteed.
"This way."
Yamanaka excitedly waved at Uchiha Itachi.
。。。。。。。。
At this time, Uchiha Itachi's face was a little pale, which was a sign of intense consumption of physical strength and chakra.
The caution of the Yamanaka Aviation team made him miserable.
He rushed to the place where he had last met the three of them as fast as he could, but the three had already left.
He had to flee while looking for clues left by the Yamanaka Aviation team.
However, the two fog ninja teams behind him were getting closer and closer, and they were only a few times close to forming a situation of encirclement.
"Help me watch him. There are six misty ninja in the back, and I'll come as soon as I go. ”
Uchiha Itachi gave a simple explanation, and stuffed the dried persimmon ghost shark on his back that was still unconscious to Yamanaka.
There was no time to greet the other two, and he immediately turned his head and rushed in the direction he came.
After being chased by several misty ninjas for a whole day, he was already full of anger.
If it weren't for the safety of the unconscious dried persimmon ghost shark on his back, he would have turned around a long time ago to teach these hot martial ninjas.
。。。。。。。。
"This person is Kiri Shinobi."
Nara Shikayu couldn't help frowning when he looked at the ninja forehead guard on the forehead of the dried persimmon oni shark.
Yamanaka was about to answer, but was interrupted by the sudden sound of metal crashing in the forest ahead, and he had to swallow the words back into his stomach.
A flock of black crows flapped their wings and burst out of the forest, quickly disappearing beneath the dense foliage.
The screams and angry shouts of the misty ninja continued to sound in the forest.
It was only a moment, and after a while, the silence of the forest returned.
Uchiha Itachi slowly walked out of the forest, his face calm and waveless, but his face was slightly pale, and blood was still dripping downward from his red and black ninja suit.
Judging by his relaxed expression, it was clear that the blood was not his.
A pungent smell of blood whistled through the forest wind, and the faces of the three Yamanaka Airlines, who were looking at Uchiha Itachi, changed dramatically at the same time.
"Did he just say six misty ninjas?"
Qiu Daozhang looked at Uchiha Itachi a little timidly, and asked his teammates beside him in a low voice, his face full of disbelief.
"Five died, one ran."
Uchiha Itachi replied lightly,
"Find a place to rest, no one should dare to come to trouble in the short term."
"Okay... Good. ”
Nara Shikayu replied a little uncomfortably.
。。。。。。。。
The middle ninja exam is on its fourth day.
It seemed like overnight, and the rainforest suddenly fell silent.
Everywhere you can feel the smell of blood, which is the feedback of the ninjas who sleep here to the sky and the earth.
Even during the day, the sounds of battle can hardly be heard in the woods.
But the silence had an ominous ting, like the calm before a storm.
"Itachi, can you ask why you saved a misty shinobi?"
Among the several people, Yamanaka and Uchiha Itachi had a walking experience after all, and this very sensitive issue was naturally opened by him.
Judging from the expressions of the other two people, they were obviously very puzzled by Uchiha Itachi's move.
Out of the corner of his eye, Uchiha Itachi glanced at the dried persimmon ghost shark lying beside him, noticing a slight movement in his pointed ears.
"He's my friend."
He replied seemingly normally.
The three of them exchanged glances, and they all showed suspicious expressions.
"Friends" are a very luxurious thing for ninjas.
Every day, ninjas walk on the verge of killing and being killed, even if they are both ninjas in Konoha and in the same ninja squad, they can only be called "companions".
Only those companions who were born and died together and who were enough to entrust their lives can be called "friends."
Two ninjas from rival ninja villages will actually be friends. This kind of thing is simply a fantasy.
It's just that a few people are not familiar with Uchiha Itachi, so naturally it is not good to ask too much, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little embarrassing.
"Someone's coming."
Uchiha Itachi stood up and looked into the depths of the trees to the north.
"Don't worry, it should be the remaining few ninjas of Konoha. When everyone is here, we can go to the exit together. ”
Nara Shikatomo also stood up, his eyes flashing and explained to Itachi Uchiha.
"Deer friends!"
Yamanaka shouted and wanted to continue speaking, but was stopped by Nara's stern gaze.
He gritted his teeth and quietly shifted his body to the side of the Uchiha Itachi, a look of disgrief on his face.
Uchiha Itachi smiled, glanced deeply at Nara Shikatomo, and didn't say much.
。。。。。。。。
"Luyou, Zhang, Hang."
Ape Fei Nanami smiled all over his face, and waved at the three of them from a distance.
The moment he saw Itachi Uchiha, his smile froze significantly, and quickly returned to normal.
Team Hyuga followed him from a distance.
At the back of the line, two ninja dogs followed behind Inuzuka Hana, twitching their noses from time to time, as if they were weeping over the death of their companions as if they were with their masters.
"You're Uchiha Itachi, I'm Sarutobi Nanami, Hokage-sama's nephew."
The smile on Ape Fei Nanami's face was even thicker, but it didn't look good when it landed on his sharp-beaked monkey cheeks.
He enthusiastically stepped forward to pat Uchiha Itachi on the shoulder, but was gently flashed by Uchiha Itachi.
"Hey, hey..."
He smiled a little embarrassedly, his eyes fell on the dried persimmon ghost shark lying on the ground, and his face suddenly became cold.
"What's going on with this misty ninja?"
He asked in a condescending manner, his gaze returning to Itachi Uchiha once again.
Uchiha Itachi snorted coldly and ignored it.
"It was the Uchiha Itachi who saved the Kiri Shinobi. This Mist Shinobi has already been seriously injured and poses no threat to us, so we don't need to care. ”
Yamanaka glanced at Uchiha Itachi and hurriedly explained.
"Save a misty shinobi?"
Sarufei Nanami asked again, with an undisguised mockery on his face,
"As a ninja in Konoha, run to save a misty ninja. It's really a dog meddling with a mouse... ”
He unhurriedly took out a handful of kunai and walked towards the still unconscious dried persimmon ghost shark,
"I'll do good deeds to help you get rid of him, so as not to be heard, and I thought that our Konoha had fallen to the point of joining forces with the Misty Shinobi."
