Chapter 11: Shadows
Walking out of the gold exchange house mixed with the smell of corpses and urine, both of them breathed a sigh of relief, and their faces were much more relaxed.
Uchiha Itachi smiled and handed the heavy suitcase in his hand to Uchiha Shisui,
"This money should be more than enough to treat my uncle's illness. You don't have to work so hard to take on tasks all day, you can have more time to practice. ”
Uchiha Shisui stretched out his hand to take it, and looked at Uchiha Itachi suspiciously,
"I've been to this place a few times, but I never knew there was a money changer inside. How do you know? ”
"Let's go back to Konoha, there's still a lot to do."
A mysterious smile was drawn on Itachi Uchiha's face.
。。。。。。。。
Once again, the shadow of war looms over Konoha.
The good mood of the three generations of Hokage Ape Flying Sun Slash lasted for less than a day, and it was messed up by the news from the shadows.
The Cloud Hidden Emissary disappeared on the way out of the Fire Nation, and the three of them and two corpses seemed to have evaporated from the world, and no trace could be found.
He paced restlessly around the Hokage's office, not even in the mood to take a second look at the beautiful view of Konoha outside the window.
"Have you found out who did it?"
He paused and looked at Danzo, who was sitting on a wooden chair on one side.
"No, only traces of a battle were found in a forest on the way. The person who did it was cautious, and the destruction of the scene was completely destroyed, and there were no clues at all. ”
Tuan Zang shook his head helplessly.
After a moment's thought, he hesitated and asked:
"Do you think it's going to be the Hyuga clan? . . ."
"Impossible!"
Ape Fei Ri cut categorically denied it,
"There are people in the Hyuga clan who are in the shadows. Besides, to kill the three Yunyin's Shangnin, there must be a lot of people dispatched. It's impossible for such a big movement to hide from you and me. ”
"If it weren't for the Hyuga clan, no one in the village would have this motive. Moreover, the strength of the three Yun Ren is not bad, there is no conflict of interest, who would take a huge risk to intercept and kill Yun Ren? ”
"The news of the killing of the Cloud Hidden Emissary will soon reach the Land of Thunder. Regardless of whether it is the hand of the Konoha ninja or not, you need to give an explanation to Yunyin Village. If you are not careful, the war will start... ”
There was a faint look of horror on the face of the ape flying sun,
"Yunyin Village will send someone to explain first. As for the killing of the Cloud Hidden Emissary Regiment,"
He paused, with undisguised murderous intent in his voice,
"Send more people, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to find the murderer for me."
。。。。。。。。
Everyone knew that war was coming.
Groups of ninjas of all ages pack up and head to the borders of the Fire Nation.
In broad daylight, there are also masked "roots" and dark ninjas coming and going in Konoha one after another.
Even the most restless people have become honest, and no one dares to make trouble in such a tense situation.
Because of this, the Konoha Police Force, which is responsible for maintaining law and order in Konoha, has become the easiest department in the entire Konoha area.
At the same time, due to the serious shortage of ninjas, Uchiha Itachi, who had just become a shinobi, ushered in the most onerous day.
。。。。。。。。
"Today's task was successfully completed, everyone has worked hard...
After many days of non-stop tasks, even the vine tree, which only did not work most of the time, lost a lot of weight.
He looked at the exhausted three shinobi and continued:
"Tomorrow is an important day for our second class, and since the second class has completed all the tasks excellently in the previous period, the upper echelons have decided to give us the task of protecting the Daimyo of the Fire Nation to our second class...
"Ugh...
Kurama Izumo and Shintsuen let out a wail at the same time.
In fact, the three of them knew that almost all of the credit for the second class was taken by the vine tree.
No matter how hard the three of them worked, they couldn't get anything except a meager pay.
"Fujiki-sensei, it's going to be the middle ninja exam soon, can you please...
Uchiha Itachi asked.
Performing these unchallenging tasks every day is a complete waste of time for him.
And the only way to get out of these tedious tasks is to become a middle ninja as soon as possible.
"That's right, teacher, with the strength of our squad, we can take the Zhongnin exam."
Hearing Uchiha Itachi's words, Kurama Izumo suddenly came to his senses.
"Well, this... Let's talk about it then... The key is still tomorrow's task. Even if we risk our lives, we have to protect the safety of the Daimyo, which is our responsibility as Konoha ninjas... ”
The brains of the vine tree are tomorrow's tasks.
For tomorrow's mission, he swore an oath to the three generations of Hokage Ape Flying Sun to ensure the smooth protection of the Daimyo's arrival.
He has put his future on the task of tomorrow.
As long as he makes a good impression on the Daimyo along the way, and the Daimyo will say a few kind words in front of the Konoha higher-ups, he will have the opportunity to go one step further and become a member of the Hokage's direct Shadow Division.
As for recommending the three of them to take the middle ninja exam, it was not in his consideration at all.
At least not until he entered the shadows, he wouldn't think about it.
What's more, there is also Uchiha Itachi among the three.
"As long as I'm the captain of the second class, you'll never want to take the middle ninja exam."
He thought to himself.
"Yes."
Compared with Fujiki's passionate speech, the answers of the three seemed so weak.
。。。。。。。。
The trio's dissatisfaction with Fujiki is not a matter of a day or two.
Because of the vine tree's endless squeeze on the trio.
In this life, the relationship between the three of them is much more harmonious than in the previous life, although there will be occasional quarrels, but it is only limited to Kurama Izumo and Shintsuna.
"Itachi, do you think Fujiki will recommend us to take the middle ninja exam...
As soon as Fujiki left, Kurama Izumo asked impatiently.
Shintsuna's eyes lit up as well, and she looked at Itachi Uchiha with an expectant gaze.
"No, it won't."
Uchiha Itachi replied in the affirmative.
The faces of the other two showed disappointment at the same time.
"That's right, Izumo. There's something I want to tell you ... ”
Uchiha Itachi suddenly remembered something, hesitated for half a second and then spoke.
"Huh?"
Kurama Izumo was a little surprised.
"If something happens to the mission tomorrow, I hope you can take Xinquan away first, can you do it?"
Itachi's face looked very serious.
"Okay... Good... ”
Although it felt a little inexplicable, Kurama Izumo still responded.
Watching Kurama Izumo and Shintsuen leave with a smile and a smile, a feeling of unease suddenly appeared in Uchiha Itachi's heart.
Same tasks, same people.
In the previous life, although he and Kurama Izumo were in the same team, they did not have any feelings at all.
For Kurama Izumo's death, there is more guilt than sadness.
But in this life, things have been different.
After experiencing the last time Izumi Uchiha was besieged by the two of them at school, his impression of Kurama Izumo has changed greatly.
