Mission content: Go to the Bird Gong to stop the Sand Hidden Village team and prevent the Bird Country from being captured.

The mission level is B-level, which is the highest-level mission that Yujuro has ever received.

After all, it's a middle ninja, and under normal circumstances, A-level or S-level missions will not be arranged.

Although the Sand Hidden Village did not directly start a war with Konoha Village, it was not without action.

According to the intelligence of the dark department, the village of Sand Yin is still gathering a large army on the border.

Its purpose is likely to be to attack the small countries around Konoha and then unite with other ninja villages to achieve the result of blockading Konoha.

Once Sand Hide is in his hands, then Konoha will really be besieged.

Sand Yin is now leaderless in the dragons, and his strength is at the bottom of the five major countries, so they don't have the courage to go head-to-head with Konoha at all.

。

。

。

At the same time, the northern border of the Land of Fire, at the junction with the Land of Thunder.

After all, Thunder Shadow couldn't hold back and launched an attack on this side.

The entire battlefield was filled with shouts of killing, and stumps and broken arms were scattered everywhere.

A four- or five-year-old boy looked at this tragic scene in a panic, holding Kunai's hand and trembling.

"Die, Konoha ninja!"

A cloud-hidden ninja didn't show mercy to his young age in the slightest, but rushed towards him.

Burst~!

The next second, the ninja collapsed in a pool of blood.

"Huh? Child? If I'm not mistaken, the ninja school doesn't have students under the age of nine graduating, right?" Mito Menyan looked at the boy in front of him and frowned.

Then he saw the Uchiha clan emblem on his body, and he was immediately relieved.

"Fugaku's son? Your name is Itachi, right?" Mito Menyan looked at Uchiha Itachi and said, "Children who have not graduated from ninja school, don't join the battlefield. Bring him back to Fugaku's side, and don't let him enter the battlefield again."

Immediately, he ordered the dark department to take him to a safe place.

Although it was safe, Uchiha Fugaku's position was able to see the battlefield battle very intuitively.

It was raining, and the rain washed the blood on the ground.

It's a pity that the corpses can't be revisited, and the fighting spirit of both sides can't be extinguished.

Uchiha Itachi had just turned four years old, and he hit her young body mercilessly.

The father, Uchiha Fugaku, who was standing beside him, did not step forward to comfort him.

Of course, Itachi didn't expect his father to comfort him.

"Itachi!" Uchiha Fugaku slowly spoke, "You have to remember, this is the battlefield."

Father's words were strong and powerful, through the sound of the rain, and struck at Itachi's heart.

Battlefield......

This is by no means a vocabulary that a four-year-old should memorize.

Battlefield....

Not even a four-year-old should see the view.

Corpses, corpses, corpses......

As far as the eye can see, there are mountains of dead bodies.

None of the corpses looked serene, and the stiff faces of each deceased had a painful and distorted expression before death.

"In a few years, you'll be a ninja too. Even if the war ends, the current situation of the ninja will not change. That's the kind of world you're about to step into."

Itachi listened to his father's cold and unforgiving voice and endured it all the time.

If he relaxes, tears will fall.

He wasn't afraid.

Nor is it sadness.

Itachi had an indescribable emotion in his heart, and for some reason, it grabbed his chest.

The rain was soaking wet.

Even if I cried, my father wouldn't find out.

Still, he didn't want to cry. He felt that if he cried at this time, he would probably lose something important that he had to be a ninja.

So he desperately tried to hold back tears.

However......

Tears still welled up involuntarily.

A man wearing a Konoha forehead guard.

Someone who looks like a ninja from another country.

The ground was littered with corpses. These dead knew no borders, and everyone experienced pain, sorrow, and struggle, and finally could not resist the arrival of death. Ninjas of any country have a bitter expression on their faces.

No one wanted to die.

Even so, they died.

Why?

Because of the war.

"Father!"

Itachi hears his own voice. At this point, he suddenly realized that he was trembling.

It's not because the raindrops are too cold.

Nor is it because of the fear of corpses all over the ground.

He was trembling with rage.

"Why are we here?"

Hearing his young son's question, the father fell into a brief silence, and only after figuring out which words to use to explain it did he answer.

"You're a smart kid."

Itachi continued to look at the pile of corpses, waiting for his father to continue.

A wave of warmth reached his head.

It's the palm of my father's hand.

"That's why I want you to see this reality."

Itachi searched desperately in his mind for the meaning of the word "reality". He was only four years old. It is not yet possible to understand the difference between reality and fiction.

Still, he understood what his father was trying to say.

"This is me... The world that will survive in the future?"

"That's right, Itachi! Ninjas are fighting creatures, and you must not forget what you saw today."

Influenced by his father's words, Itachi stared carefully ahead, imprinting the hellish scene in front of him deep into the depths of the child's hole.

"Children who haven't graduated from ninja school, don't join the battlefield."

I don't know why, Itachi's heart suddenly welled up with the words of Mito Menyan just now.

There was a dull pain in the bottom of his eyes, and there was a warmth different from tears, which was about to move under his eyes.

Like a powerful force flowing into the eyes, the Itachi was so frightened that he couldn't help but close his eyes.

Then, the force eased and disappeared from the back of his mind.

Even if this world is the world in which he will live in the future, he does not intend to accept it silently like this.

"I want to change the world." Itachi's heart suddenly swelled with such thoughts.

Change the world and achieve peace.

Like a seed, it was implanted in the depths of Itachi's heart and took root.

The drawing of hell in front of me becomes nourishment for the seed, and the seed begins to greedily absorb the nutrients.

The more brutal the war, the more tragic the battle, the deeper the idea of peace in Itachi's heart.

"I want to be the Hokage and achieve true peace. No matter what the cost, peace must be achieved."

This thought became stronger and stronger in Itachi's heart like a dream demon.

The battlefield in front of him and the picture of peace in his mind were constantly intertwined, impacting Uchiha Itachi's mind.

The power that had been suppressed just now surged again, and his eyes became blood-red.

Itachi only felt that his reason was constantly being devoured.

"Fugaku, what are you doing here?" A voice dragged the weasel back.

Itachi followed the prestige, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

It was my uncle who saved me just now.

"Advisor Yan!" Uchiha Fugaku replied expressionlessly.

Mito said, "It's nonsense to let such a young child run into battle. Hurry up and send him back to the village, this is the battlefield, not the place for you to play the prestige of the master."

The Uchiha's clansmen did not dare to disobey Uchiha Fugaku, and Mito Menyan was not afraid of him.

In the past, there had always been Uchiha Kagami to reconcile the relationship between Uchiha and the village, and Mito Menyan was not good at saying anything to Uchiha.

The Uchiha mirror has a trace, and no one reconciles the contradictions

, Mito Menyan's dissatisfaction with the Uchiha is getting deeper and deeper.

In particular, the death of the Uchiha Mirror and the Uchiha's infighting are inseparable, which makes Mito Menyan... No, this made the Hokage's dissatisfaction with the Uchiha deeper.

And Fugaku, who is the patriarch, is naturally also on the list of Mito Menyan's disgust.

"Yes, advisor!"

Facing this advisor whose strength is not weaker than that of Sarutobi, Uchiha Fugaku is also a little apprehensive in his heart.

Although the other party is not the type of group that is unwilling to pretend, it is hard to guarantee that he will not really do it.

"Itachi, come to me." Mito Menyan said.

Itachi was stunned for a moment, and then looked at his father with some hesitation.

Uchiha Fugaku frowned: "Advisor, Itachi is my son, and I will be responsible for his safety."

Rao is afraid of Mito Gate Inflammation, but for Mito Gate Inflammation's behavior that is more like his father than himself, Uchiha Fugaku is very unhappy.

"He's a kid on the battlefield now." Mito Menyan said with a cold face, "Take the unrelated personnel away from the battlefield, and send them back to the village immediately after the truce. Uchiha Fugaku, take your people and complete the deployment."

After speaking, ignoring Uchiha Fugaku's gloomy expression, he let the dark department grab the Uchiha Itachi and take him away from the battlefield.
