Chapter 20 New Tasks
The lengthy meeting made little progress other than to let the hot-tempered militants vent their anger.
As if they had a heart, as soon as the party ended, Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui rushed out of Nanga Shrine as if they had fled.
The two walked side by side on the way home, chatting casually.
"How's it going?"
Uchiha asked curiously.
"Not good."
Uchiha Itachi's voice sounded a little discouraged,
"A teammate who only drags his feet, panics when he encounters the slightest thing, and a teacher who has no leadership skills at all. There are also these clansmen who only know how to fight mouth cannons, but they are played by the high-level of Konoha from beginning to end. All of this disappointed me very much. ”
Uchiha reached out and patted him on the shoulder, trying to comfort him but had nothing to say.
I could only barely squeeze out a smile at the weasel.
Silent all the way.
。。。。。。。。
A year later, Uchiha Itachi was eight years old.
It's been a full year since I graduated from the ninja school.
His ninja career went smoothly and was jealous.
Over the past year, the Itachi team has been assigned some tasks that are suitable for shinobi. Mainly errand-running tasks, there are almost no difficult tasks.
Really counted, the first task I received after becoming a shinobi was the most difficult.
The relationship with teammates and teachers is still as cold as ever.
Kurama Izumo still looks like a hanger.,Often clashes with Shintsuna, who can't get used to him.。
Fujiki watched the two of them argue at a loss every time.
And Uchiha Itachi, on the other hand, stood alone from afar, looking like he didn't care about himself and hung high.
To outsiders, this team looks weird, not at all what a ninja squad should be.
But the same thing has been repeated for a year, and everyone has gradually gotten used to it.
Because of the relationship between the Itachi, the task of the second shift has always been successfully completed, but it has begun to become famous in Konoha.
Itachi Uchiha has no interest in having a good relationship with his teammates and teachers.
The second class was just a small stop in his ninja career.
His goal is to become a middle ninja and a top ninja as soon as possible, hone himself harder, and improve his strength faster.
Before the bad luck of the Uchiha clan comes, be well prepared.
That's why he did his best to complete every task.
It was at this time that something happened that he couldn't accept.
In the upcoming Chunin selection exam, Fujiki did not recommend Itachi Uchiha.
"Because the middle ninja exam must be taken in the form of a squad. So far, Kurama and Shintsuen don't have enough strength to take the middle ninja exam. ”
In the face of Uchiha Itachi's questioning, Fujiki, who has always been weak and incompetent, showed extremely toughness, completely ignoring Itachi's anger.
"Nothing can be done today, but next year. If the abilities of Kurama and Xinquan are still at the current level next year, they will not be able to do so next year. ”
His words were hard and non-negotiable.
Despite being very dissatisfied in his heart, Uchiha Itachi reluctantly gave up.
。。。。。。。。
In fact, according to Konoha's ninja promotion system, there is another way to become a middle ninja.
Even if you don't participate in the middle ninja selection exam, as long as you have the recommendation of Konoha high-level or upper ninja.
Combined with the performance in the mission, it can also be promoted to a medium ninja.
As long as you investigate the mission records of the second class, you can clearly see how much Uchiha Itachi has contributed to the second class.
The judgment that surpasses the upper ninja vine tree that leads the team far surpasses the ninjutsu, physical arts, and illusions of ordinary middle ninjas, and saves teammates from danger countless times when the team encounters danger.
Everything about Uchiha Itachi far exceeded what was needed for Nakashinobi's recommendation.
It's a pity that he is from the Uchiha clan and has a shinobi teacher like Fujiki.
Recommendations are as far out of reach for him as the sky high above.
He could only complete the tasks assigned to the second shift day after day with a depressed mood.
。。。。。。。。
Fujiki's expression looked a little agitated, and he waved the information in his hand, and the spit stars splashed in the air.
"Because the threat of war is over, and the routes of communication between countries are much safer than in wartime, this kind of task is entrusted to the second team of the following shinobi. This is also a testament to the importance that the top management attaches to the second class. Because of this, we have to successfully complete the task and repay the trust of the senior management in our second class. ”
Uchiha Itachi's gaze stopped at the information in his hand. Before Fujiki finished his impassioned speech, he had already skimmed through the information of the mission.
"Protect the Daimyo of the Fire Nation."
As the supreme ruler of the Fire Country, Konoha Ninja Village nominally falls under the jurisdiction of the Fire Country, but in fact, the Fire Country's military power is completely dependent on Konoha.
In this sense, the relationship between the two is more of an alliance.
In times of non-war, the Hokage of Konoha Ninja Village and the Daimyo of the Fire Nation usually have some routine exchange of visits.
This time, the mission is to escort the Daimyo of the Fire Nation back and forth.
"Will the Daimyo's escort be handed over to the four of us this time?"
Kurama Izumo couldn't see any excitement on his face, and it seemed that whether it was a daimyo or a puppy or a kitten, as long as it was an escort mission, he was not interested.
"On the surface, that's true. Secretly, there is also a four-person team directly under the Hokage. The daimyo also has the famous "Fire Country Guardian Twelve Ninjas" by his side. ”
Fujiki replied somewhat vaguely.
"In other words, we are only formal guards, and the main responsibility is still the guardian of the Twelve Shinobi around the Shadow Department and the Daimyo."
Hearing Fujiki say this, Xinquan also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Since the mission target is the Daimyo of the Fire Nation, this mission has specially selected the second team that has performed very well in various missions this year to carry it out, which is a rare honor. I hope you all cheer up. Gather at the main entrance of the village tomorrow morning, so don't be late. ”
Fujiki said all his words in one breath and disappeared with a proud expression, leaving the three shinobi standing in place.
"It's the second class, but in fact, you're the only one that the top management is concerned about."
Kurama Izumo stares at Itachi Uchiha.
"Hey, do you need to say that?"
As Itachi expected, Xinquan spoke in time.
"Cut, what's the matter with me talking to you?"
Kurama Izumo spat disdainfully at his feet.
When is this the end of a day?
Itachi Uchiha wanted to sigh.
But once he sighs in front of Kurama Izumo, it will inevitably cause another mouth cannon.
He forced his sigh back.
"See you tomorrow, then."
The Uchiha Itachi's voice remained in the air, and the person had disappeared without a trace.
"This guy, can you stop pretending to be cool all day."
Kurama Izumo said hatefully.
