Chapter 33: Companions
The Uchiha Itachi walked through the forest like a ghost, like a cat walking through the streets of Konoha without making a sound.
Compared with walking with people and always beware of the dark arrows behind him, he is alone, in this forest full of unknown dangers, he seems leisurely.
"I don't regret it at all."
Not far away, a sound fell into his ears through the trees, and the ensuing forest wind was mixed with a faint smell of blood.
His brow furrowed.
The voice sounded so familiar and yet so unfamiliar.
Although unidentified individuals are not the best way to approach other ninjas.
But he didn't hesitate to jump up, and connected the branches with one foot in the air.
After a few leaps, he came to the source of the sound.
A face he had never expected to see here appeared in his eyes.
He looked at the familiar face silently, and an inexplicable excitement slapped over his body like a wave.
。。。。。。。。
The ninja knife in the hand of the misty ninja was raised high, and the snow-white sword light illuminated the dim rainforest, and also illuminated the pathetic face of the dried persimmon ghost shark.
A figure flashed in the air, and a teenager suddenly appeared in front of the dried persimmon ghost shark.
The boy ignored the ninja knife behind him and calmly used his body to block the attack of the misty ninja.
He looked directly at the stunned face of the dried persimmon ghost shark, with a warm smile on his cheeks, and his arms slightly open, as if he was about to hug an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time.
Mist Shinobi was slightly stunned, as if he was a little annoyed, and the ninja knife in his hand sped up violently, falling like lightning from the top of the young man's head.
The boy's body was easily cut in half like a piece of paper.
There was no expected scene of blood splattering, and the young man's body turned into scattered black crows, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the air.
A sharp stabbing pain came from the back of his neck, and Kiri Shinobu opened his mouth, but he was speechless, and blood bubbled out of his mouth like a spring of "ho-ho".
The gaze of the dried persimmon ghost shark fell on his companion's Adam's apple, and the tip of the kunai pierced his throat, dripping blood downward in the air.
Kiristin's body fell straight down, revealing the smiling face of the young man behind him.
"Who are you? Why save me? ”
The dried persimmon ghost shark looked at the Konoha ninja forehead guard on the young man's head, and asked in a somewhat hoarse voice.
He was mentally prepared to die here, but he never expected to be rescued at the last moment, and it was a Konoha ninja who saved himself.
It's hard to believe.
"I'm Itachi Uchiha. As for the reason for saving you ... ”
A hint of hesitation appeared on Uchiha Itachi's face, and he paused and continued:
"Maybe we'll be partners later?"
Even he didn't seem sure.
The dried persimmon oni shark looked at the Uchiha Itachi with a blank expression, and after a long pause, he lowered his head and continued to bandage the wounds on his body.
Now that he has a chance to live, of course he will not give up.
Relying on the bandage to stop the bleeding, the dried persimmon ghost shark finally felt a trace of strength in his body.
He struggled to get up from the ground, glanced back in the direction he had come, hesitated for half a second, and then said:
"I don't know why you saved me, but I'm kind enough to warn you. There are three more ninja squads chasing my Mist Shinobi, so if you don't want to die here, get out of here. ”
To his surprise, Uchiha Itachi stood motionless, with no intention of leaving.
"Inexplicable fellow, look for your own death."
The dried persimmon ghost shark muttered in a low voice and strode to leave.
However, he overestimated his body that had lost too much blood.
As soon as his right foot stepped forward, his left foot could no longer bear the weight of his body, and his whole body fell diagonally and limply.
An arm stretched out from the diagonal ground just right, encasing his body.
He looked up in surprise to see the strange smile in Itachi's eyes.
With a flick of the Uchiha Itachi, he threw the sandbag of dried persimmon oni shark that was half a head higher than himself onto his back.
He was just about to speak, when a sharp kunwu was pressed against the major artery in his neck, and with a single stroke, he would say goodbye to this world.
"What are you going to do?"
The cold voice of the dried persimmon ghost shark sounded in his back.
"Of course it's to save your life, do you think that with your current physical condition, you can escape the pursuit of the fog ninja? What's more, the ninjas of other ninja villages won't miss the opportunity to kill a misty ninja... ”
The Uchiha Itachi was still grinning, and there was no panic in his voice, and he didn't seem to feel the presence of the kunai in his neck.
"We don't know each other. You are the ninja of Konoha and I am the mist ninja, and they are the two opposing sides. Why did you save me? ”
The dried persimmon ghost shark asked the same question for the second time.
"Don't worry, I don't have any ill intentions towards you. As for the reason for saving you, you will know sooner or later. ”
This time, Uchiha Itachi replied earnestly and sincerely.
The kunai in his neck gradually moved away from Itachi's body.
The dried persimmon oni shark frowned, struggling to find out why the Uchiha Itachi came to the rescue.
Not far away, there was already the sound of a ninja breaking through the air.
Death was approaching him at one time.
。。。。。。。。
Sarutobi Nanami felt that he had never been so embarrassed in his life.
He kept jumping through the woods, his green ninja suit stained with specks of blood, including the blood of his teammates and his own.
He had good luck and managed to join up with two of his teammates shortly after entering the rainforest.
He has always been very self-assured, and when the team is neat, he is naturally unwilling to hide in this rainforest.
At his insistence, the three-person team took the initiative in the forest and successfully killed two lone ninjas.
This also made him more and more arrogant, and what was originally a cautious action turned into a reckless hunt.
Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long, and the team's third attack crashed headlong into the trap of Yanyin Village.
After costing the lives of two of his teammates, he narrowly escaped from Iwa Shinobi's three-man encirclement.
The relationship between Iwa Shinobi and Konoha is not good, so naturally he will not show mercy to Sarutobi Nanami's subordinates.
He originally wanted to use the fame of the Sarufei clan to scare off the three Iwa Shinobi.
As a result, after he reported to his home, the three Iwa Shinobi chased him all the way unrelentingly, and they were actually going to kill him no matter what.
"What bad luck!"
Sarutobi sighed as he kept looking back.
Although he couldn't see the whereabouts of the three Iwa Shinobi, his intuition told him that the three Iwa Shinobi were not far behind him.
Once he stops, what awaits him will be a combined blow from Iwa Shinobi.
