Chapter 13 Funny People
Two black shadows jumped between the trees tens of meters high, flickering several times, already spanning a distance of [-] meters.

Yu Xiaobai raised his head to look at the sky that was cut to pieces by the dense branches and leaves. The sun was trying to squeeze out with difficulty. He passed by a few slender beams of light. Time has passed so boringly for a long time. Been on the road for at least an hour.

Yuren Village is located in the hinterland of the mainland, but it has a weird weather of torrential rain all year round. It borders the six countries. Between the three major Ninja Villages, life is actually quite bad.In this land of perennial wars, such a geographical location has not become a hub of prosperity, but has become a chaotic area mixed with various people, businessmen, rebels, samurai, political prisoners, people who are constantly soaked by rain. Evil is growing irresistibly on the soil.

Yu Xiaobai and Itachi didn't have a long way to go to Yuren Village, but they still had to cross half of the Land of Fire. If they didn't march in a hurry, it would take two days and two nights at Jonin's ordinary speed.

At this time, Yu Xiaobai ran ahead, both of them were wearing masks and Anbu costumes.When he jumped out of the woods, his vision became brighter and he was running on the grass, Yu Xiaobai couldn't help but look back at the weasel behind him.

"I've been driving at a constant speed for an hour, why doesn't this guy say a word?"

Yu Xiaobai secretly slandered, although ninjas should be cautious in their words and deeds during the mission, there is still a long distance to go to the border of the Land of Fire. It's not running away.

"Cough." Yu Xiaobai felt that this would not work. It is estimated that a person with Itachi's personality would definitely not talk nonsense to strangers for no reason, and he could only rely on himself to save the atmosphere.

"Hey, that Uchiha Itachi... Is it okay to call you Itachi?"

"Of course it's okay, Senior Yu Bai." Itachi turned his attention to Yu Xiaobai when he coughed lightly, but his face was hidden behind the mask and his expression was not clear, and his tone was not turbulent.

"Okay, Itachi, did you eat before leaving at noon?"

Itachi: "..."

I don't know if it was Yu Xiaobai's illusion, but when he finished speaking, the figure of Genius Uchiha behind him seemed to shake for a while.

"I've already had dinner at home, Senior Yu Bai..." Itachi controlled his rhythm and followed Yu Xiaobai steadily. It was a bit short (relative), Itachi hesitated, and said, "Senior Yubai...don't you have lunch?"

"Eat." Yu Xiaobai said as a matter of course, he successfully opened the topic, feeling quite happy.

Itachi's eyelids twitched, and a relatively rare emotion rose in his heart, that is, the feeling that the senior in front of him was owed, "That's it." What else could he say.

"The topic terminator." Yu Xiaobai commented to Itachi in his heart, but he didn't know that his level of embarrassing chat was not very good, "By the way, you don't need to call me senior, we are not very old, usually call me Yu Bai That's it."

Itachi, who is not very old but has the cultivation and etiquette of a big family, didn't quite agree with it, but just as he was about to habitually say "this is not good", his eyes met Yu Xiaobai looking back. With a kind look in his eyes, for some reason, he unconsciously changed the words in his mouth.

"OK then."

Itachi paused for a few seconds, then added, "But only in normal times."

During the task period, it is still necessary to maintain a strict superior-subordinate relationship. Yu Xiaobai nodded, and it is not difficult to speak.However, it is possible that he has not experienced those too cruel things.

After this conversation, although it was not nutritious, the jerky between the two of them was indeed reduced a lot. Yu Xiaobai felt that his goal had been achieved, so he just chatted for a few words and then concentrated on his way.

The almost unchanging scenery kept leaving behind him, Itachi looked at Yu Xiaobai's back in the dark long coat with some doubts, and the previous eyes appeared in his mind.

It's strange, this look doesn't look like the kind of looking at a strange junior, it seems... I've known him for a long time, but it's not exact.

"He's an interesting person." Itachi smiled out of sight.

……

The sun kept setting to the west, and the shadows changed. Yu Xiaobai and Itachi took a break halfway, and then continued on their way.There are villages passing by along the way, and occasionally some towns. When the other side of the mountain is covered with red light and the magnificent sunset slowly sinks, Yu Xiaobai and Itachi arrive at the predetermined destination, a big city called Daoqing.

"It's much more prosperous."

Walking on the avenue outside the city, Yu Xiaobai looked at the towering city wall beyond his line of sight. In the evening, dense crowds of people kept coming in and out. A few years ago, when he passed by here on the way back from a mission, it was not like this.

Yu Xiaobai was alone lamenting the development of Fire Nation in peacetime, and Itachi couldn't have much to say when he was on the sidelines. He didn't feel much about these things.

The two took off their somewhat conspicuous masks. Except for the forehead guards they wore, they looked the same as other people. Relying on the tokens issued by the village, they entered the city without any problems.

Daoqing City happened to be on the route, and they will rest here tonight, but they will camp in the wild the next day when they are on the road.

For missions of this nature, they have a certain amount of expenses to be reimbursed when they go out. Yu Xiaobai has been a ninja for so many years.After getting two high-standard hotel rooms, the street is already lit up with lights and the noise of the night market.

"Itachi, are you going to take a walk at night? It's rare to come to a big city." Yu Xiaobai is not very used to being the captain this time. Although he has always performed well in the past, he has very little leadership experience.When he was free for a while, Yu Xiaobai thought about it and asked according to the habits left by modern society.

"No need, I'm going to rest after training for a while, and I have to hurry tomorrow." Itachi changed into lighter clothes at this time, and was about to go downstairs with a ninja bag.

"Oh that's it." Yu Xiaobai froze for a moment, nodded and said, Itachi has gone far outside the city, and the curfew of ordinary people can't stop them two seasoned ninjas.

Seeing Itachi's back disappear, Yu Xiaobai felt a slight embarrassment of being rejected, but he quickly recovered and was inspired by it. "During the rush stage in the early stage of the mission, daily training is not left behind. Many people really only see success, not sweat, even if the opponent is a genius."

Yu Xiaobai thought about his troublesome time-traveling problem, and this time he might meet Xiao's people in the past... Yu Xiaobai, who was not in the mood to go shopping, simply jumped onto the eaves of the hotel without changing his clothes. He left in the opposite direction from Itachi just now.

Practicing alone in the open space outside the city, shuriken throwing, basic three body skills... Yu Xiaobai focused on strengthening the change of chakra's nature, and he wanted to develop a new technique.

When Yu Xiaobai was covered in sweat and returned to the hotel in the white light of a moonlit night, he happened to meet Itachi who had also returned from training.

The other party was still panting slightly, and had just emerged from the darkness and jumped onto the eaves. He gave Yu Xiaobai a strange look, and the two immediately became symmetrical.

Standing alone at one end of the roof, Yu Xiaobai paused for a long time before choking out, "Hi."

Itachi was silent for a few seconds, his lips moved, and finally he spoke strangely.

"Hi."
