Chapter 132 The Shadow Approaches
Chapter 132 Shadow Approaches
In the evening, Konoha Ninja School.
Umino Iruka on the podium looked at the chattering students and felt a little dizzy.
This is the last class of the day. Most children's attention and concentration have been exhausted after a whole day of studying. They are just waiting to go home to eat, play, and sleep. Almost no one listens attentively.
Iruka looked towards the last row in the middle. Akimichi Choji is considered the source of this confusion.
Every time his stomach made a hollow echo, the other students knew that school would be out in ten minutes at most, and started packing their bags.
Immediately afterwards, the ninja dog Akamaru heard the strange noise and didn't know why. He would make an urgent, sharp and short bark to remind Inuzuka Kiba to be alert. The noise made the surrounding students panic, and even Yamanaka Ino and Haruno Sakura in the first row would turn around. Come over and have a big argument with Inuzuka Kiba.
Ever since, widespread chaos began.
The buzzing noise in the classroom made Iruka upset. At this time, he looked at the students who had always been quiet and found them very pleasing to the eye.
Aburame Shino, who was nowhere to be seen immediately after class, went straight to the flowers to observe various insects. During class, she wore sunglasses and remained motionless (not taking notes) and said nothing. Many times Iruka suspected that he was blatantly sleeping, but when he walked closer, he discovered that the child made no sound of breathing at all. Sometimes, Iruka couldn't even feel his presence.
Nara Shikamaru, lying on the table all day long, looks like he is sleeping, but in fact he closes his eyes and rests, paying attention to all the sounds around him. Every time Iruka asks him to get up to answer a question, he can answer it as proof. . Unfortunately, this student slept during the exam and was too lazy to write a single word after completing the multiple-choice questions.
Hinata Hinata, with her big family's strict upbringing and shy personality, she is almost always the quietest and most polite student in the class, whether in class or after class. She listened attentively most of the time, but occasionally her mind wandered, she blushed inexplicably, and she didn't know what she was thinking about.
There is also Uzumaki Naruto, the student who has changed the most in more than three years in the class. When he first started going to school, Naruto was a bit noisy and mischievous, trying to attract others' attention. But maybe because I admire Uchiha Giyu, I have been at the same table for a long time, and I will always imitate him unconsciously, so even if I don't listen in class, I will lower my head and read by myself, so my grades are not bad (although most of the time it's recipes ).
Finally, Iruka's eyes moved to the empty seat between Naruto and Hinata.
It has been two days since school started, but Uchiha classmates are still traveling outside, and they don't know when they will come back.
Iruka misses Giyu a little, not only because he is good enough, as quiet as an object, and can cool down in the summer, but also because this child will share food with everyone in the class, so that they will not be so hungry that they can't concentrate in the last class. attention.
Seeing that Ino had begun to throw pencils and erasers at Inuzuka Kiba, and the situation was about to get worse, Iruka took a deep breath.
[Looks like we're about to come up with a trump card. ]
"You don't have to come to school tomorrow."
As soon as these words came out, the boiling water-like classroom quickly cooled down.
The children raised their heads and looked at Iruka one by one, as if they were chewing on what he had just said, which was not loud.
The next second, smiles bloomed on their faces, and cheers comparable to those of Anjurou in Purgatory rang out!
"That's great!"
"It's so cool to have a vacation right after school starts!" "
The new movie of Princess Fengyun is released. I just want to go see it tomorrow!"
"Would you like to have barbecue together tomorrow?"
...
once I heard this There was no class, and the children were already discussing their plans for tomorrow enthusiastically, while Naruto was looking out the window with his chin propped up.
[It would be great if Giyong could come back tomorrow. But it seems that it will take some time for Anjuro to give Sasuke the news...]
[I can't figure it out, what is he doing? ]
[If he doesn't come back tomorrow, he might as well go training with Sasuke. ]
Naruto sat up straight, suddenly had an idea, and his blue eyes suddenly lit up.
[Hinata's grades in practical classes have never been good, so take her with you! ]
He turned his head, wanting to explain his thoughts to the white-eyed girl, but he noticed that Hinata Hinata, who was sitting across from him, had a surprisingly ugly face, as if he had met his own ghost.
Naruto was confused, but before he could ask, Iruka said with a bad smile: "You have a good idea, this is not a holiday." "
Then why don't you come to school?"
A ninja with civilian background asked in disappointment, " Is there going to be outdoor drills or something like that? Is that an activity for higher grades?"
"It's an outdoor class, yes, but it's not a drill."
Iruka said, "The parents of some students may have told you This has happened, but there must be some students who don't know, so I will inform you again. After lunch tomorrow, all students will gather at the school gate. We are going to set off together to meet the joint mission of Kumo Ninja and Iwa Ninja. ."
"Click."
In the silence, a crisp sound caught Iruka's attention.
It turned out that Hinata Hinata's hand was not steady and the pencil fell off the table.
"R-I'm sorry..." Hinata quickly stood up and bowed, a little stutteringly apologizing, and then leaned down to pick it up.
Iruka suddenly remembered what happened six years ago. He felt soft and added: "Hinata-san, if you feel unwell, you can rest at home tomorrow."
This was not included in the plan given by the Hokage. It was purely It was Iruka who took the initiative out of sympathy.
"Thank you, Mr. Iruka."
Hinata was obviously surprised, but she still accepted Iruka's kindness and looked a little better than before.
Naruto didn't understand why, and the more he looked at it, the weirder it seemed.
[Does Hinata hate participating in such activities, or does she simply hate foreign ninjas? ]
However, his thoughts were quickly interrupted by another student: "Teacher, what are the envoys of Iwa Ninja and Kumo Ninja coming to Konoha for?" "
According to time, Konoha is almost every three years. It's time to renew the peace treaty with the Kumo ninja. We went to the Kumo ninja village three years ago, and this time it's their turn to come to us. As for why the Iwa ninja sent an envoy, it's still unknown, but it's always something like Reason."
When he mentioned the words "peace treaty", Iruka's smile was sincere.
"Although they arrived earlier this year, as long as the mission arrives, it means that the possibility of conflict between Konoha and Iwa Ninja and Cloud Ninja Village is very small in the next three years. Without war, everyone can continue to live happily Go on until you graduate normally at the age of twelve."
"What?"
The student snorted dissatisfiedly, "Teacher, do you mean that if we go to war, we can graduate early? It would be better to go to war. Aren't our Konoha Ninja Village the strongest among all the Ninja Villages?
" After the student finished speaking, there were several echoes around him, a bit worried that the world would not be in chaos.
Shikamaru, who was lying on the table, turned around silently, but Inuzuka Kiba mocked loudly: "You really know how to talk nonsense. Even Akamaru can't deal with it. Are you planning to be used as cannon fodder? Maybe even the enemy will be killed." If you don't see it, you will die!"
The student retorted with a red face: "There are so many jounin and chuunin in the village, won't they protect us newcomers?"
"Protect a brainless guy like you. What are you doing?"
Nara Shikamaru seemed to be aroused by the other party's stupidity. He propped up his body and squinted his dead fish eyes and said: "A guy like you who is looking forward to war has never had anyone die in his family. I tell you. , in the Third Ninja World War, those of our clan who sacrificed the most were the genin and chuunin. If too many clan members hadn't died, do you think I would be the only one with the surname Nara in this generation?
"Once the war starts, Konoha will You will definitely not face just one ninja village, but fight on multiple fronts. At that time, the village will be short of manpower, and we students will have to go to the battlefield, and no one will care about protecting you.
"Which of the five ninja villages is the strongest...so what? Have you ever thought about why the number of students in the school, even the children from big families, are only in single digits? Less than half of what they were ten years ago? Then It's because, in previous wars, too many young ninjas died before they were even old enough to have children! Many of them are younger than you."
Iruka was a little surprised, because Shikamaru didn't know how It seems that these students' speeches really made him angry.
What he didn't know was that it was precisely because the young generation of the Nara clan was so pitiful that the clan had high hopes for Shikamaru, which made him a little annoyed since he was a child.
But thanks to these words, those students who were ready to make a move also stopped and stopped talking.
"What Shikamaru-san said is not unreasonable. Peace is hard-won, and this is what Hokage-sama means. The Third Generation attaches great importance to the activities to welcome the delegation tomorrow, and everyone should take it seriously." Iruka took the
opportunity to smooth things over. If Shikamaru were to continue talking, he would get into some sensitive topics.
"So, don't think that you can stay up late or whatever if you don't have to go to class tomorrow. You must have a good rest and be in the best spirit to welcome foreign guests. Don't let other people in the Ninja Village see our jokes! This time we welcome guests The mission is about the honor of the village. You must remember what I said, understand?"
"Yes -"
It can be heard from the voice that many people are seeing foreign ninjas for the first time, so they are very excited. expect.
After announcing this, the music after school started playing, and Iruka was the first to leave the classroom. The other students left in groups in twos and threes. Only Hinata and Naruto stayed where they were and did not move.
Shikamaru was the last to leave.
He obviously knew a lot. He paused for a second when passing by Hinata, but finally sighed, said hello to Naruto and left.
When there were only two people left in the classroom, Naruto and Hinata, Naruto slid onto Giyu's seat and asked with concern: "What happened? You don't look good, Hinata." The last few days of summer
vacation Being alone with Tian made the awkward atmosphere between the two a lot better. At least Hinata wouldn't faint because he was so close.
"It's nothing, I just feel a little uncomfortable. Maybe I ate too much at noon or lunch."
Hinata's face showed a little color, "I won't go to tomorrow's event, so..."
"Are you really not going? , why is this, could you predict in advance that you will feel uncomfortable tomorrow..."
Naruto wanted to ask, but suddenly felt an uncomfortable sight.
He suddenly turned his head and found a boy who looked very similar to Hinata standing outside the classroom door, staring at them seriously with a straight face. To be precise, the other person was staring at Hinata sternly. Even though the pupils could not be seen, Naruto had already noticed the examining posture of the other person.
"..." Noticing that Naruto stopped mid-sentence, Hinata, who was thinking about how to deal with it, also raised her head.
She followed Naruto's line of sight and jumped up from her seat as if she had been electrocuted. Her voice became hoarse and short: "N-Brother Neji!"
[Is he Hinata Neji? ]
Naruto blinked.
Because of Giyuu's relationship, Naruto has a close relationship with Anjuro, so he is not a stranger to the senior students who admire Anjuro. But this was the first time for Naruto to see this number one who was one level older than him.
Hyuga Neji was one of the few people who was not conquered by Anjuro's charm.
Hinata lowered her head nervously, her chin close to her collarbone, and her hands tangled together, waiting for Hinata Neji to come to her step by step.
Looking at Hinata's appearance, Naruto felt that the other party seemed to be coming with bad intentions. He thought it was the kind of terrible family drama in Sasuke's villain book. When he got up and prepared to separate Hinata and Hinata, he was surprised to see Hinata Ning. Once he walked one meter away, he stopped where he was.
Then, he bent down to Hinata and made a ninety-degree bow.
"Hinata-sama." His tone was respectful. If you didn't look at his expression, you couldn't find anything worth criticizing.
"Brother Neji, please don't do this..." Hinata Hinata looked like she was about to cry, not knowing how to respond.
[Why... would he come to me at this time? ]
"I am here to request you on behalf of the Hyuga branch."
Hinata Neji's waist was still bent, but his eyes were looking at Hinata's face. Naruto could see that this was a very uncomfortable and awkward action.
"For your safety, I hope you will stay in the clan territory tomorrow no matter what, and do not go out and walk around at will."
Hearing this, Naruto felt that the other party was just expressing concern.
"After all, this time," Hyuga Neji immediately said, "no one in our branch family is willing to sacrifice his life needlessly for a futureless quasi-clan leader like you."
This time Naruto understood. He immediately stood up, frowned and said loudly: "Who has no future?! Why do you say that to Hinata!" Hinata
's tears had rolled to the edge of her eyes, but they did not slide down, and she just bit her lips tightly. in silence.
Hyuga Neji also ignored Naruto's intention and continued: "Hinata-sama, please agree to my request, otherwise I will not leave." "
You are disgusting from the beginning to the end . His expression and words were both gun-toting and there was no intention of asking!"
Naruto crossed the table angrily and came to Hinata Neji's side, "Besides, we are obviously a family, why do you do this hypocrisy? Performance? You've seen it, right? Hinata is obviously feeling very uncomfortable, right?"
"Family?" Hinata Neji looked at Naruto with his eyes wide open, the cloth tied on his forehead was extremely conspicuous.
"How do we qualify to become Hinata-sama's family? If we don't do this, how can she agree to our request." "I
told you not to talk in a weird way!"
Naruto grabbed Hinata Neji by the collar. , but the latter took a step back as if he had expected it, grabbed Naruto's wrist with his left hand, supported his elbow with his right hand and gently twisted it, forcing Naruto to immediately lie down in the opposite direction.
But immediately, Naruto slammed his foot on the ground before falling to the ground, and used the recoil to close the distance with Hinata Neji. Not only did he break free from the grasp, but he also knocked the opponent.
Seeing that the two of them were about to escalate the fight as soon as they stared at each other, Hyuga Hinata didn't know where the courage came from and shouted: "Please don't fight again!"
But as the two people looked over at any time in surprise, she immediately recovered. Ben Xing shrank his neck.
A hint of surprise flashed in Hyuga Neji's eyes, which was quickly replaced by disappointment.
He glanced at Naruto and resumed his bowing posture: "Hinata-sama, please promise me..."
"Don't promise him anything! Hinata!"
Naruto interrupted Neji with an angry look on his face. , "Although I don't know what happened, you simply caught Hinata's weakness and forced her here in a weird way! You don't care and you don't respect her at all. On the contrary, you know that this is the case His behavior will hurt her and make her suffer and feel uncomfortable, so he said and did this specifically!"
Hinata Neji did not respond, but was a little surprised at Naruto's sensitivity.
"I don't understand a big family like yours, nor do I understand the deep hatred between you. If you are full of resentment towards Hinata, just speak your mind openly. Why do you have to use this gesture, once? To torture her once? Also, what does it mean to have no future? Don't judge other people's futures casually!"
Hinata Neji's attitude towards Hinata is very similar to the attitude of the villagers towards him in the past - he
clearly had deep hatred, Without explaining the reason, this familiar feeling of déjà vu made Naruto very angry.
"It is true that you know nothing about our clan."
Hinata Neji straightened up, "But do you really need me to tell you that there is no future?
" Anyone with a discerning eye can see it. With such a weak and bullish look, does she have the right to become the patriarch and let others sacrifice their lives to protect her? Apart from anything else, the results of the practical class are posted on the bulletin board. You can see it, right? Her fists were soft, just like her character.
"Hinata is just shy and afraid of hurting others! " Besides, people do change! How do you know she won't get over this? "
There's a difference between being shy and being cowardly. "
Hyuga Neji shook his head, "Shyness is just a habit, but cowardice is a destined nature. In the face of threats, people who can't even resist, can they really have any future?
"Besides," he turned to look at Hinata, "my request is what Hinata-sama wants, isn't it? When the Kumo ninja delegation arrives, you will definitely be worried and scared, but you dare not tell the head of the family clearly. But if I do this, won't I just give you a suitable excuse?"
Hinata's eyes flickered, and it seemed that she was indeed being told what was on her mind.
She was afraid of Kumo Ninja; and telling her father that she was afraid of Kumo Ninja made her even more scared.
But if the separated family requested this, the father would have no reason not to agree.
Her lips trembled, and when she was about to speak, she noticed that her hand, which was wet with cold sweat, was taken away from her, and a wave of warmth spread from Naruto's palm.
"Then you will be disappointed!"
Naruto raised Hinata's hand, "The more certain you are that Hinata will do this, the more she will have to prove that she is not the kind of person you imagined!"
"Naruto..." Hinata was really panicked. The development of things was completely beyond her expectation.
"Although I don't know what happened before, why is Hinata afraid of foreign ninjas? But Giyuu told me that the more people are afraid of something, the more they must be the first to overcome it!"
Naruto declared loudly: "So tomorrow, Hinata will go with me to see the Kumo ninja mission! I want them to know that they can't scare Hinata, and neither can you! Even if they really want to hurt Hinata, I will protect me like Giyuu did. Protect her just the same! It doesn't matter if she is my clan leader or something, as long as she is my friend, I am willing to risk my life for her!"
Naruto's voice continued to echo in the empty classroom.
Hyuga Neji pursed his lips, looked past him sternly, and looked at Hinata with a questioning tone.
He didn't know if he wanted to see Hinata change.
"Do you really think so? You want to be exposed in front of the people you are afraid of?"
Hinata took a deep breath and held Naruto's hand tightly. Although she did not raise her head, after being silent for a long time, she still said: "I'm sorry, brother Neci, I, I want to give it a try..." "
In that case, I have nothing to say."
Hinata Neji took a step back, Bowing again, "If you insist on having your own way, please don't humiliate the clan's face in front of everyone tomorrow." At least
in terms of safety, Hinata is safer when she appears in public.
Hinata did not answer, but Naruto made a face to Hinata Neji: "Mind your own business first!" "You have
very good physical skills and rich practical experience."
Hinata Neji said to Naruto He nodded, "But if you attack me again next time, I won't be merciful." "
Make it seem like you are the only one who didn't use your full strength."
Naruto mocked, "Let me hear you next time I won't be merciful any more! Say what you have to say. This is what a ninja should be like!" "
..."
Hyuga Neji left without saying anything more.
Hinata stayed there numbly, and then she realized what she had promised before.
"Naruto, I..."
Naruto saw her panic and said warmly: "It doesn't matter. If you don't want to say it, don't say it. It's not too late to tell me after the Kumo ninja delegation has left. Wait until you don't say it anymore I am afraid of them, and when I think about the past, I will only feel that my past thoughts are absurd and ridiculous..."
"Really, really?"
"Of course it is true, this is my personal experience."
Naruto said with certainty . , "As long as you overcome the thing you are most afraid of, the things you are afraid of second and third will gradually become insignificant." "
I understand." Hinata nodded convincingly, temporarily letting go of her fear of tomorrow. "Thank you, Naruto."
"Thank you, Giyuu."
Naruto scratched his head in embarrassment, "If he hadn't forced me to face those people and defend myself, I would still be treating those idle people now. The glances and sarcasm are taken seriously, and it just adds a lot of worries."
As he said that, he quickly glanced at the clock above the blackboard: "Ah, it's been so long, that guy Sasuke, won't leave on his own!"
With that said, he picked up his schoolbag and walked out first, giving Hinata a little time to wipe away her tears.
After a while, the two came to the door of the next classroom and found that Sasuke was still sitting in his seat, his head lowered and he didn't know what he was thinking about.
Naruto and Hinata looked at each other and walked in through the back door without deliberately restraining their voices.
But Sasuke was so focused on the coins in front of him that he didn't hear anything.
Naruto came up behind Sasuke and slapped the latter on the shoulder.
"Ah!"
screamed, but twice.
Sasuke screamed because a coin in front of him suddenly lost control and bounced out from in front of him, embedded in the back of the front seat.
Naruto screamed because there was a short burst of sharp pain in his fingertips. When he raised his hand, he saw that there were even faint burn marks on his skin.
"What are you doing?" they both complained in unison.
"It's my turn to ask you, right?"
Naruto blew a breath and stuffed the space between his index and middle fingers into his mouth, but the pain did not diminish at all.
"It's worse than the static electricity on doorknobs in winter. If someone else had touched you instead of me, you would have fainted from the pain!" "
Hey, does it hurt a lot?" Sasuke's eyes lit up.
"You actually gloat about your misfortune!" Naruto looked at him dissatisfied.
"No, I'm just curious about the power of ninjutsu."
Sasuke took the coin off the back of the front seat with a look of pride on his face.
[In just a few days, I have made such progress. I really have a good talent in thunder escape! It might be stronger than Giyu's Water Release...]
"Ninjutsu?" Naruto no longer paid attention to the injured finger, but asked with curiosity on his face, "What kind of jutsu? Did your brother teach you?"
" It's my mother."
Sasuke sat in a position so that Hinata and Naruto could get closer to him. "Look."
Sasuke placed six 10-ryang coins as wide as his thumb in a circle, and then raised his index finger Place it in the middle of all the coins.
"What are you looking at?" Naruto rolled his eyes, "I never spend money recklessly, and my savings are much larger than yours."
As soon as he finished speaking, Naruto saw six coins spread out like petals, being moved by invisible force. Pushed out slowly, at an even speed.
"It's moving!"
"It's not over yet."
Sasuke gave him a calm look.
The six coins continued to push outward, forming a large circle with a radius of ten centimeters.
Then Sasuke formed a seal with his left hand, and the six coins slowly shrank, and finally returned to their original positions.
"Awesome!" Sasuke said with a bright face, waiting for praise.
"Very good," Naruto nodded, "You are doing magic, right?"
["Would you like to learn how to light candles?"]
"Don't be too heroic when you speak."
Sasuke's face fell. "You don't understand anything at first glance." "
Well, the ability to control metal... it should be magnetic escape, right?"
Hinata on the side suddenly said, "Could it be that, Uchiha-san, you have developed another blood successor limit?" "
Eh, no?"
Naruto didn't know much about these, but he knew that the blood successor limit was amazing.
"They look similar, right?"
Sasuke felt that his talents were appreciated, and he was very happy. It was the first time in more than ten days that Hinata Hinata was so pleasing to his eyes.
"But this is not magnetic escape, but an application of thunder attribute chakra."
"Thunder escape?" Hinata covered her mouth in surprise.
"Yes. Look, this is an ordinary coin."
To give an example, Sasuke took out an old coin with a different material from his pencil case and placed it in the middle of six 10-ryang coins. There was no reaction.
"But, when I injected him with thunder attribute chakra..."
Sasuke touched the coin with his fingertips, and the coin immediately emitted an invisible force field, pushing the six surrounding ones out.
"My mother said that there are two types of magnetic ninjas. One is like the Third Kazekage, who combines the changes in the properties of wind and earth to control iron sand, a substance containing specific metals. But generally speaking, a magnetic ninja You can only control one kind of metal, two are the limit."
Sasuke paused, "There is another type, the magnetic ninja of the Kingdom of Thunder, which can give strong magnetism to any object through contact, but in essence it only It can only attract specific metals.
"But what I am doing now only requires a single qualitative change of thunder attribute chakra. When I become proficient enough, even if I inject thunder attribute chakra into different metals, I can control them to attack or defend at the same time, and even attack others with remote-controlled shurikens from hundreds or thousands of meters away. Very powerful, right? "
"Sounds very convenient. Naruto nodded, with a hint of envy in his tone, "You only said that your father and brother were jonin before, but you didn't expect your mother to be so powerful." "
"Actually, it's a coincidence. "
Sasuke said: "She has been leading her men to do special effects for the Princess of the Wind movie in recent years. It is said that the screenwriter of the movie is very imaginative. When designing the weird and unreasonable ninjutsu in the movie, he gave my mother some inspiration, and she began to use electromagnetic force to develop thunder escape ninjutsu. However, she has never fought with this kind of technique..."
"I haven't seen the movie. "Naruto was a little depressed, "The old man Hokage won't let me leave the village, saying it's very dangerous outside.
"Then next time my family goes to the City of Fire together, I will take you with me. " "
"Really? "Naruto paused.
"If the third generation agrees, it shouldn't be a big problem! "
By the way, speaking of this... from now on, let's take Hinata with us when we train!" "
"Eh? ! "This time it was Hinata's turn to be surprised.
"Why? Her grades in practical classes were average. "Sasuke said it bluntly.
"I met a nasty person who said Hinata was cowardly and timid! "
Naruto grinned, "When Hinata gets stronger and beats him up, let's see if he still dares to be so evil! "
Sasuke was a little xenophobic at first, but when he thought of Anjurou's consistent style and open-mindedness...
"Anyway, the place where Anjurou lives is so big, it won't be too crowded if she is here! But she also has to be counted as a cleaning lady! "
Thank you, thank you. " Hinata clenched her fists, "I will definitely work hard!" "
[Don't let Naruto down!]
This is probably how Naruto felt when he first met Giyu.
"By the way, when will you be able to practice something famous? "
Naruto asked when Sasuke packed his schoolbag and was about to leave.
"This must be done step by step. First, the attraction and repulsion of electromagnetic force are required. "
As he spoke, he raised his feet and showed Naruto the soles of his shoes. What was stuck there was the key to his door.
"What's the use of this? "
So Sasuke explained to Naruto again. It's unclear whether he understood or not.
Outside the school, Uchiha Itachi waited around, but Sasuke didn't come out.
"Did he climb over the wall and escape? "
Just when he was about to enter the school to find out, there was a sound of flapping wings from behind. When he turned around, he saw that it was Uchiha Shisui's ninja crow.
"Is Shisui back? "
Itachi had a happy expression on his face, beckoned the ninja crow over, took a piece of paper from its feet and read it, his expression gradually returned to calm, and there was even some doubts in it.
However, ninja Crow is Shisui's ninja crow, and the note is also Shisui's handwriting.
[You don't want to report the results of the mission first, but you want to meet me first when you come back. What happened?]
"Lead the way. "Itachi was a little worried, leaving a shadow clone to continue waiting, but the main body followed the ninja crow and chased after him.
But for some reason, he always felt that the ninja crow was leading the way quite easily today, and it would stop and wait for him from time to time. Unexpectedly It was spiritual, as if there was a human soul residing in its body.
About ten minutes later, just as Sasuke was about to walk out of the school gate and met Itachi's clone, the latter turned into a cloud of smoke and suddenly dissipated. Gone.
At the same time, on the other side of the world.
Due to the time difference, it was already dark in the Kingdom of Water. Giyu removed the dark red chakra lingering on his left arm and left leg and opened his eyes.
"The injury does not affect his actions much anymore. "
He rubbed his abdomen somewhat unskillfully, allowing the Three-Tails to take back all the chakra lent to him.
"We should be ready to go. "
These pictures focus on Konoha, so there is less content from the pillar perspective. If you mind, skip it.
