Looking at the somewhat familiar voice, Seiichi couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

The little girl holding two strings of balls on the embankment grew up quite quickly, perhaps because the girl grew up earlier, and looked a little taller than the ferret.

The beauty mole under the left eye is matched with the long hair that is almost up to the waist, but it shows the irrepressible beauty temperament of this little girl.

This little girl is really a natural beauty embryo.

Itachi, this guy is old and doesn't know how to be blessed.

But even if I rob you of a plot, you shouldn't pretend you don't know me?

Want to play Beauty Save the Heroes?

Seiichi raised the hand that was used to wrap his arms around Itachi's shoulder, and grinned:

"Yo! Izumi, long time no see. ”

"Huh? This voice. Huh?! Is it Seiichi's brother? ”

The little beauty hero who almost shouted 'let go of that boy' on the river embankment was extremely flustered and cute at the moment.

Seiichi also looked deeply hurt and sighed slightly: "Ah, you can't recognize me anymore. Brother, I'm so sad, huh? ”

"No, no!! I thought it was "

The tearful little beauty on the river embankment hurriedly waved the three-color dumplings in her hand, and she was a little at a loss for a while.

Actually, I don't blame her.

Since attending the ninja school, the two of them have not had much spare time to play around, so naturally they don't have much leisure to come to him, the 'dead house' of Konoha .

After all, they were still at war when they entered the school, and the training in the school was unusually fast and rigorous.

If it weren't for the end of the war, with Itachi's qualifications, I'm afraid it would be the same as Seiichi, but after a year of study, he would graduate from school ahead of schedule and begin to carry out team drills and perform edge battlefield missions under the leadership of the middle ninja or the upper ninja.

Seiichi's body has grown so fast during this time that it's a little abnormal, not to mention that it's almost half of his body covered by bandages, so it's reasonable that he can't recognize it.

After panicking for a long time, Izumi could only walk down the embankment with a red face and hand the two strings of balls in his hand to the two of them.

"I'm sorry, Brother Chengyi, I apologize to you."

Makoichi was not polite, but he took the string of dumplings and handed it to Itachi on the side.

Itachi took the ball and was a little dazed, and Makoto said on the side:

"Sweet, you should like it."

Then he turned his head to look at the spring behind him, moved away slightly, and tapped his finger to his side.

"Would Izumi want to sit together for a while?"

Izumi glanced at the middle position left on one side of Chengyi's body, and his little face was also slightly ruddy: "Brother Chengyi doesn't eat it?" ”

"I've just eaten Uncle Ichiraku's luxurious ramen, and I'm still very satisfied."

After all, Ren Quan only bought two bunches and wanted to come over to comfort the ferret, and if he really wanted to take over, Quan would not have to eat.

Hearing Seiichi brother say this, Izumi was no longer entangled, but very ladylike and slowly squatted down in the slightly narrow space between Seiichi and Itachi.

Itachi seemed to realize that the small pier was a little narrow, and leaned aside to make more room for Izumi.

Unexpectedly, the little girl glared at herself as if she was a little sluggish, which made Itachi feel a little inexplicable.

"What are Seiichi and Itachi talking about?"

"Mission."

Itachi's natural interface seems to be aware that Seiichi's mission may be inconvenient to speak.

However, hearing this answer, Izumi was even more puzzled.

"Task? Itachi's? Still."

She tilted her head slightly to look at the kind brother she respected.

She wasn't stupid, of course she knew that Itachi, who was just like herself, was just a student at the ninja school, so it was naturally impossible for her to have a so-called mission.

Merely.

Why did Brother Seiichi hurt himself again?

Do you still have to carry out the mission?

Seeing Izumi's gaze leaning towards him, Seiichi also chuckled:

"We both have a mission."

"Both?"

"Eh, because I may have to leave the village to carry out a mission recently, I can't help Itachi with special training, so I'm going to arrange a cultivation task for him before leaving."

Quan was a little surprised, turned his head to look at Itachi, and said, "We're only first-year students in the cultivation task, right?" Itachi, are you trying too hard? ”

Itachi didn't appreciate it at all, but said quietly: "Brother Chengyi has graduated directly after finishing the first grade, started further training and cultivation, and began to perform simple tasks. ”

"First grade, it's not too young."

Hearing this, Izumi couldn't help but puff out his mouth, obviously a little angry.

Chengyi on the side also scratched his head when he heard this, and there was nothing he could do.

Feelings: This kid is now taking himself as a target, just like the little brother that Itachi will have in the future?

"Haha. You don't have to compare yourself to me, but the reason I'm working so hard is so that you can enjoy your time at school with peace of mind. ”

"If even you need to work as hard as I do, isn't that putting the cart before the horse?"

Izumi echoed, "That's it, Itachi, you're trying too hard, right?" Obviously, you are already the first in the school, and there are a lot of girls in the school who like you."

Itachi's brows sank slightly, and his eyes were indifferent: "Because of good grades, I was so-called 'liked'.

The remaining half of the sentence was swallowed back into his stomach by Itachi.

'I was 'hated' because of my good grades, but what was 'hate'? ’

He took a bite of the balls in his hand, although it was not far from the time to go home for dinner, it stands to reason that he shouldn't eat snacks at this time, but Brother Chengyi handed it to him. It definitely makes sense.

Then his eyes lit up, and the icing sugar sprinkled on the three-color balls was extremely sweet in the mouth, while the glutinous rice balls themselves seemed to have no taste, which just neutralized the sweetness and did not look too greasy.

When it starts to feel bland, it will leach out a hint of sweetness again as you chew it, which is quite delicious.

"Delicious, isn't it?" Looking at Itachi's eyes, which had not seen sparkling in a long time, Izumi also smiled lightly.

I have to say that compared to the handsomeness of other girls in the school, she prefers the cuter side of Itachi.

Seiichi on the side naturally didn't say anything, but it was as if he had become the third observer again, observing everything that was different from the 'known' with a smile on his aunt's face.

Itachi, you kid have to appreciate it!

Brother, I don't have to endure a lifetime of hardship for you in the future, but I have done a lot of painstaking things for you!

But the next moment, Seiichi's smile was a little stunned.

After Itachi eats the deliciousness, he neither thanks Izumi nor talks about the deliciousness of the meatballs with Izumi.

Instead, he crossed the spring and handed the balls to his eyes.

"It's delicious, Brother Seiichi!"

Seiichi called a confused face.

Izumi also seemed to look a little embarrassed.

You kid. That's how you repay me?

He lamented: "I know that I also have a junior sister who will pull me to eat. ”

Could it be that because of his presence, he will pull away the attention of the ferret?

Instead of eating the 'feeding' that the weasel brought to his mouth, he stood up.

"Well, I'll go first? It's time to leave tomorrow, and there are some things I still need to prepare. ”

Forget it, it's not always possible to use the pestle next to it as a light bulb.

Let's leave time for the young people to talk slowly.

"Brother Seiichi."

"Huh?"

Itachi didn't seem to understand what Seiichi meant, and stopped Seiichi again.

However, he didn't stop Seiichi and didn't let him go, just smiled lightly.

"That task, I'll complete him well, so, if it's a task, he should be paid, right?"

Ooh? You kid, isn't the meaning of the cultivation task to train yourself?

Shouldn't the fruits of cultivation be your reward?

It's just that Chengyi didn't choose such a preaching at this time to spoil the scenery, but just looked back and smiled:

"What do you want? As long as I can give it."

"New ninjutsu? Or didn't you have time to teach you illusions before? ”

"No," the weasel shook his head slightly, a twinkle in his eyes.

"After you and Brother Zhishui's mission is completed, let's go eat meatballs together, shall we?"

Quan was on the side and called a grievance, and he almost shouted: What about me?

Seiichi smiled helplessly: "Okay, when I return from the mission, the long-term mission of the guy who stops the water should also come back in shifts to repair, and then we will go to eat meatballs together." ”

"It doesn't matter how well you do that mission."

"I'll make a promise to you."

"It's a deal, we've made an appointment!"

At this point, Seiichi quietly glanced at Koizumi, who was so aggrieved that he was about to cry, and added:

"When the time comes. Koizumi is coming along, right? ”
