The next day.

Nine forty a.m.

Uchiha otaku.

The weather was fine.

The scorpion is still sitting in the cloister, cultivating a different puppet than before—I suspect that she is no longer flesh and blood, and since coming to Konoha, she has basically never moved from the cloister except for repairing a puppet or a puppet.

"Aren't you going?" She gave me a look in her busy schedule. As if to say, "Then why are you here today waiting for someone to come to your door?"

"I'm not going." I used the body of [Shadow Uchiha Itachi] to stand beside her, looked at her and said, "...... But it's your first time on a mission, so I should be here to see you off. ”

This seemed to treat her as a child, which made the scorpion sneer: "You can't rest assured, right?" ”

"Well, I'm a little worried."

"Didn't you say that those two Konoha shinobi were very strong?"

Only then did I realize that the scorpion thought that I didn't trust her, and was worried that she would attack Akane Qiki and Yamato outside Konoha Village, and then escape.

I immediately explained helplessly: "...... No, that's not what I'm worried about. ”

"So what are you worried about?"

“…… A lot of things. ”

For example, if the Akatsuki organization tracks down the scorpion's traces and sends someone to intercept her, or if the scorpion can't get along with Qimu Akane and Yamato, it will lead to a lack of affection for Konoha...... And so on and so forth.

Hearing this, the scorpion frowned and did not speak again. Dida said, "Huh? What's the difference between what you say and what you don't? ”

She already knew the news that someone was coming to Yanyin Village, so after learning the news, she kept a bitter face.

Seeing that I didn't reply, she pursed her lips and continued to turn her head, looking at the scorpion continuing to repair her puppet, but there was a longing in her blue eyes.

"I'm Sister Scorpion's partner...... I want to go on a mission with her, too! ”

The scorpion suddenly hit the nail on the head and said, "You just want to escape from the ninjas in Iwain Village." ”

"Humph! Obviously, Yanyin Village and Shayin Village came together, why can Sister Scorpion leave! Not fair at all! ”

"Because I killed three generations of Kazekage." The scorpion glanced at her, "If you kill three generations of Tsuchikage, you can run now." ”

"Uh-huh......!" Dida was stunned for a moment, not knowing if she thought of Onoki, she subconsciously straightened her back, as if she thought of some terrifying picture, and stiffened her body: "...... I can't beat the old man. He lost his temper, but it was terrifying! Ahhhhh ”

Speaking of this, probably thinking of the miserable life in the future, Dida suddenly fell backwards and lay on the floor with a sad face. Then I don't know what came to mind, she blinked, suddenly sat up, looked at me, and excitedly said, "Ah! Weasel! I thought of it - you can give me another god too! I'm also your family member, stay in Konoha, do you say okay? ”

Me: "......"

"Don't be so stingy! I can't beat you—and I can't beat the Uchiha Kite, but I'm pretty good too! You ask Konoha to give me a task too, and I'm sure to complete it perfectly! What do you think? - Think about it! ”

I couldn't help but complain, "If you were really so scared, you shouldn't have defected in the first place." ”

Di Da was immediately unconvinced: "Then what can I do if I lose to the kite!" ”

I said selflessly, "You can report that there are suspicious characters in Yanyin Village who have appeared on the outskirts of the village and tried to abduct ignorant girls. ”

Dida: "......"

She was stunned for a moment and became angry: "Who is the ignorant girl!! ”

At this time, Scorpion and I looked out of the door at the same time, and heard the footsteps of the two of them stop outside the door.

"Tuk tuk tuk", three unhurried knocks on the door sounded. When the Uchiha Kite, who was tidying up in the house, heard this, he walked out and looked at the door.

She was wearing a navy blue home kimono, with a little collarbone subtly exposed at the overlapping collar, and slightly wide sleeves designed to be a little too short for ease of movement, revealing a fair and slender wrist.

Dida stopped talking. The scorpion was still sitting in place, but the ten fingers moved as quickly as if playing a piano in mid-air, and summoned a slender puppet from the sealing scroll spread out on the side. With a slightly stiff step, the puppet walked to the door and opened it.

…… At night, from the visitor's point of view, it's a horror movie......

"Akane-senpai," and after the door opened, Uchiha Kite saw the situation outside the door, so he politely bowed his head and said, "Please come in." ”

The scorpion manipulated the puppet that opened the door back into the scroll, and nodded slightly as if it was satisfied with the extent to which it had repaired.

Immediately, Akane Hagi and Yamato walked in.

Neither of them was dressed in the dark, but in the style of a shinobi - long black sleeves, green waistcoats, loose, dirt-resistant trousers, neat leggings, and—blue sandals.

I saw that Qi Mu Qian's face was wearing a mask that covered half of her face, and her forehead was downward, leaning down to block one eye, which looked a little weird.

But her short silver hair was softly draped over her shoulders, and the other eye that was exposed showed that the surrounding skin was as delicate as porcelain and jade, her eyebrows were like distant mountains, shaped like green willows, her black pupils were clear, and her eyebrows were picturesque.

- So, even though she almost covered her entire face, most of the people in Konoha felt that she was still a beauty.

In contrast, Yamato on the side has a somewhat lackluster appearance.

Except for the big, black eyes that look a little out of place on a man.

“…… Kite. "And Akane Hachiki and Uchiha Kite have known each other before.

But then the Uchiha kite defected, and recently she was suddenly pardoned and returned to the village, and in a short period of time, many people didn't understand what attitude to use to treat her, so this was the first time they had met after many years of not seeing each other.

And they didn't have much else to say other than a simple hello.

Qi Mu Qian's gaze fell on me again, obviously extremely concerned about me, and slightly wary. "Itachi Uchiha."

"Wait a minute," I said with a cautious attitude, and seemed very casual. "Someone wants to come out."

I probably thought that I had nothing to say to her, but Qi Mu Qian didn't expect me to respond, and I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"What?"

But I don't have time to answer her as a [Shadow Uchiha Itachi].

Handoff.

[Four Generations: Wave Wind and Water Gate] is here!

The moment the blond-haired and blue-eyed man dressed in the Hokage robes appeared in place of the mysterious and dangerous Uchiha Itachi, Akane Hachiki was obviously shocked. Her sanity wanted to go backwards—for the reappearance of the dead was the most anomalous of all. However, her emotions want to move forward.

- After the last time they met, she thought there would be no next chance to meet! But I didn't expect it...... So soon, I saw my teacher again.

I didn't know what to say about this kind of old people's meeting, so I had to smile at Qimu Qian - I just hope she can feel that everything is in plain sight.

Yamato was obviously surprised, he wasn't sure if it was an illusion or not, and he felt that if I didn't say anything to show that he was harmless, he would immediately seal it.

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous." I walked towards them with a smile, took out two Flying Thunder God Kunai from my body, and handed them to Yamato and Akane Hagi respectively, "I just wanted to give you this." ”

I said, "Take it with you, and if something happens, I'll be able to get there right away." ”
