Chapter 9: The Crying Boy
Deep in the forest.
The moon hangs high.
The wind stopped, and everything was silent.
The moonlight carved the mottled shadows of the trees into the ground, leaving strange shapes one after another.
Two soaking teenagers sat side by side on a thigh-thick branch in mid-air, with different expressions.
"Itachi, are we really going to intercept Yun Ren here? Will it be too close to Konoha, once Yunyin Village finds out that the envoy group died in the country of fire, the consequences will really be unimaginable... ”
The tall boy asked with some concern.
"It's so good here, you can't see a single shadow...
Uchiha Itachi had a nonchalant attitude,
"As for the war between Konoha and Yunyin that you are worried about, it is even more superfluous...
He chuckled softly,
"Never underestimate the skill of a politician. Problems that can be solved with their mouths, they will never use a knife... ”
"I hope so...
The Uchiha still had a disturbed expression on his face.
"But how do you know that Yun Ren will go in this direction?"
After thinking about it for a moment, he continued.
"Which route is closer from Konoha back to the Land of Thunder?"
"But..."
"Yun Ren has always thought highly of himself. A mere shinobi dared to sneak into the Hyuga clan of Konoha to kidnap people, and they wouldn't worry about someone intercepting and killing them halfway. What's more, after the Hyuga clan's affairs, they have long seen through that Konoha is just a paper tiger with a huge shelf. ”
He stood up.
"So, I'm off."
Uchiha Itachi smiled at his friend.
"Why don't I go, you just graduated from the ninja school, and it's too reluctant to deal with a ninja."
Uchiha said with some concern.
"If you go, you'll have to face three shinobi at the same time."
The Uchiha Itachi tapped on a branch like a dragonfly on the water's surface.
His body flew high into the woods.
。。。。。。。。
"Captain Karey, can't we take the main road?"
Otsuka, who walked at the end of the line, couldn't help but complain.
At this time, in the forest, except for the breaking sound of the three of them stepping on the dead branches, no sound could be heard.
Even the insects rested early, and the silence around them was terrifying.
"The ninjas of Konoha are all soft eggs, just look at the appearance of the three generations of Hokage. Will anyone dare to come and rob people? . . ”
Karey had an indifferent attitude,
"Besides, this road is the closest, and crossing the forest is the border of the Fire Country, and the ninja legion of Yunyin Village is stationed near the border, and I don't dare to have any ideas for Konoha ten dares...
"I'm a little worried about the Hyuga clan, anyway, the "white eyes" are the "blood inheritance limit" of the Hyuga clan. He is unwilling to fall into the hands of outsiders. ”
Ohno, who was walking in the middle of the line, interjected.
"Return my father..."
A young man who looked like he was six or seven years old suddenly rushed out of the forest, with a crying voice in his clear children's voice, and there were clearly visible tears on his immature face.
The three Yun Ren stopped at the same time and looked at the comer.
The boy angrily threw a kunai at Otsuka, the last of the group.
It's just that the strength and accuracy are unsatisfactory, and the kun is not crooked, and it falls weakly to the ground a few meters away from Otsuka.
"Hinata's son shouldn't be so big...
Karey frowned as he looked at the dark-haired teenager.
"Maybe it's a mistake in the information. The only black-haired people in the Konoha family are the Hyuga clan and the Uchiha clan. Since this little ghost followed, it must be the Hyuga clan. ”
The corners of Otsuka's mouth hooked up a sinister smile,
"If we can bring two pairs of white eyes back, then this mission will be more complete."
The three of them came laughing at the same time.
The black-haired boy was also very clever, and when he saw that something was wrong, he turned around and slipped into the woods.
Otsuka handed the body on his shoulder to Karei and said with a smile:
"Captain, keep on your way. I've caught this little devil and I'll join you again. ”
Karey didn't think it was a pestle, and took it casually.
Seeing that there was an extra windfall, the mood of the three of them became happy.
"You move quickly, so as not to cause more trouble."
Ohno kindly gave one more advice.
"Don't worry, it won't be long."
Otsuka followed the direction the boy left unhurriedly, and soon disappeared from the sight of the two.
。。。。。。。。
The black-haired teenager staggered through the woods, looking like he was about to fall at any moment.
Not far behind him, Otsuka walked unhurriedly.
Although he enjoyed the fun of catching rats, after all, bringing the white eyes back to Yunyin Village was the top priority.
He sighed with some regret.
The black-haired boy's physical strength was already exhausted, and he gasped for breath, his steps becoming slower and slower.
Otsuka leaps high in the air, swooping down like a goshawk and pounces on the black-haired boy on the ground.
The corners of his mouth still had a smug smile.
As if resigned to his fate, the black-haired boy stopped in despair, turned around and held kunai across his chest, assuming a fighting stance.
The boy's clumsy behavior fell in Otsuka's eyes, which was so ridiculous.
He didn't even bother to look at the kunai in the boy's hand, and his right arm pierced through the defense and squeezed the boy's throat mercilessly.
At this moment, his eyes met the clear eyes of the young man.
He saw not despair, but a look of cunning with a playful look.
Extreme danger covered his whole body in an instant.
He desperately wanted to extract the chakra and add an extra layer of protection to himself.
But it was too late.
between electric light and stone fire,
The young man's body suddenly shifted half a step to the ground, and the blow he was bound to win flashed, and the kunai in his hand poked out like a poisonous snake.
The beginning of the battle is the end.
Otsuka's eyes widened and he fell straight to the ground, unable to figure out what was happening to death.
。。。。。。。。
"Why are you here? It's not that you're in charge of keeping an eye on the other two ninjas... ”
Uchiha Itachi looked at the Uchiha Shisui who jumped from the tree with some surprise.
"I'm still worried that you won't be able to handle it alone...
Uchiha Shisui smiled,
"Don't worry, those two are walking very slowly, and it won't take much time to catch up."
Uchiha Itachi's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his face became a little solemn,
"The dead Yun Ren should be the weakest of the three, and the next thing is the real battle."
"It's better to use the trick you just used again, as long as you can get rid of another cloud ninja...
The Uchiha was grinning, not showing a hint of nervousness, but as if he was playing a fun game.
"No, it's not that simple. Yun Shinobi wouldn't be so stupid as to fall into the same trap twice. BE PREPARED FOR A TOUGH BATTLE ... ”
Uchiha Itachi struggled to squeeze a few tears out of his eyes, and once again transformed into a tear-stained teenager who tried to avenge his father.
