The two walked slowly along the path.

A ragged boy sat on a tattered threshold, looking at the two with a wincing look.

As if afraid to see a stranger, he quickly hid in the house.

"That's it."

The Uchiha stopped pointing to a small room in the corner.

It is said to be a house, but in fact it is just a shed made of thatch.

A girl of five or six years old sat quietly by the door, staring blankly at the changing shape of white clouds in the sky.

The girl is rarely bald, and it is difficult to distinguish between a man and a woman at a glance.

A delicate but pale face, a thin body, and at first glance, it looks like a long-term illness.

"Xiaomei, less blowing wind outside, it's not good for your health."

A woman's voice could be heard from inside the house.

"Yes, Mom."

The girl complied, got up and walked into the house.

"Now you know why Hinata lives here?"

Uchiha's voice was low,

"His daughter has a rare disease. The cost of treatment is also an unbearable burden for Hinata, who is a shinobi. So he can only live here. All of Ninja's income comes from quests. So, I believe what you say now ... ”

"Which one..."

Uchiha Itachi's gaze rested on the dilapidated shack, and his voice was still faint, and he couldn't hear any change.

"Hinata Mukai is a traitor's thing... , It's you, in order to keep the hope of your daughter's life, I'm afraid you'll take risks... ”

As if thinking of something, Uchiha Shisui had a look of compassion on his face.

"Let's go...

Itachi Uchiha turned away without giving another look.

For him, enough is enough.

If he had to choose between the Uchiha clan and Hinata Mukai's daughter, he would not hesitate to choose the Uchiha clan.

So, it doesn't make sense to look any further.

He kind of understood why Danzou deliberately mentioned Hinata's family that day.

This is the first test for Uchiha Itachi.

It's just that in the bottom of his heart, there is still an unstoppable sadness.

Konoha is far from being as beautiful as it seems.

This has taken root in Itachi Uchiha's heart.

。。。。。。。。

Three days later

"Infiltrate the mission. Mission Level B. ”

It was a man with a full beard who spoke with a wrinkled face in his thirties.

There was a strong smell of low-quality tobacco on his body, which made Uchiha Itachi frown.

Hinata Mukai, the head of the dark army, is also the target of Uchiha Itachi's assassination.

"In addition, due to Shinobu Kanokuda's accidental injury, a new member temporarily joined this mission, Uchiha Itachi."

He smiled and nodded at Itachi, and stretched out his hand to the other two ninjas in the room,

"Hills, red fires. From today onwards, we will be companions, and I hope that everyone will work together to complete the task. ”

"Yes, Captain."

The other three replied in unison.

Xiaoshan is a very thin man, and Chihuo is the opposite. He was a tall and burly man.

Both of them are friendly to Uchiha Itachi and have apparently heard of his reputation for a long time.

Ninjas, the most important thing is strength.

Whoever it is, it's a joy to have an extra ninja with the name of "genius" in the squad.

Hinata, who is the captain, is no exception.

He looked at the three people in front of him with satisfaction and clapped his hands gently,

"So, let me tell you more about this mission."

。。。。。。。。

Hinata's squad is an elite squad of upper and middle ninjas, usually on very dangerous missions.

However, one of the team's members, Shinobu Nakata, accidentally injured his leg while on vacation.

Itachi Uchiha then joined the squad as an alternate.

It seems to be a coincidence, and even the captain Hinata Mukai is not suspicious.

Only Uchiha Itachi saw the shadow of Danzou behind this incident.

Danzo instructed his subordinates to secretly injure Tsunoda and artificially create a vacancy. Then forcibly arranged Uchiha Itachi into Hinata's team.

On the one hand, it creates conditions for him to find out the details of Hinata's well, and on the other hand, it can also take this opportunity to observe his performance in this situation.

Itachi Uchiha was well aware of Danzou's thoughts.

At this time, he behaved like a real newcomer.

He was respectful to everyone, and remained silent most of the time, and even when he spoke, he was very polite.

。。。。。。。。

After the Third Ninja War, the Ninja Continent remained calm for a long time.

On the surface, there is a relatively friendly relationship between the villages.

It's just that under this calm water, there is an undercurrent surging, and no one knows when this fragile relationship will be broken.

Just a few days ago, one of Konoha's spies lurking in the village received a very important piece of information - the village and the village of the village are secretly negotiating to conclude a secret military treaty.

If the two sides reach an agreement, Shayin Village and Wuyin Village will stand on the same front. Once the war starts, the two sides will join forces to launch an attack on the enemy ninja village.

Strictly speaking, this is a secret pact premised on war.

Judging from the current situation in the Ninja Continent, the strength of the five ninja villages is almost the same, and they contain each other, which barely maintains a fragile balance.

Once the two ninja villages of Fog Hidden Village and Sand Hidden Village join forces, this balance will be immediately broken, and the ninja continent will once again ignite the flames of war.

At this time, the leaves are strong on the outside and dry in the middle.

The upper echelons of Konoha were busy cleaning up dissidents, and most of their energy was focused on the interior of Konoha, so naturally they didn't want to go to war at this time.

After learning the information that the representative of the fog was about to visit the Sand Hidden Village, the upper echelons of Konoha assigned the Hinata Mukai team to go to the Sand Hidden Village to carry out the infiltration mission, and reported back after obtaining the details of the secret agreement.

Considering that the hill in the squad is a ninja who is extremely good at stealth, this task is not too difficult.

。。。。。。。。

"Next is the assignment of the squad members."

Hinata Mukai's voice was serious, and it was clear that he was a ninja who valued his mission more than his life.

"Hill."

"Yes, Captain."

"Your mission, infiltrate the vicinity of the meeting room and get the details of the talks between the two sides."

"Yes."

"Red Fire."

"Yes."

"You are responsible for ambushing at the entrance of Shayin Village, ready to meet the hill at any time."

"Yes."

Hinata Mukai looked at Uchiha Itachi with some hesitation.

Uchiha Itachi calmly stood in place and waited.
