Konoha's Itachi Reappearance

Chapter 95 The Ninja's Helplessness
Chapter 92

"Well, in the Ninja World War a few years ago, the surprise attack force of Yunin Village once launched an attack on Konoha. Although most of the main force was wiped out at that time, some fish that slipped through the net hid in the land of fire .”

"As far as I know, the Yunnin ninja among these bandits betrayed his companion on the battlefield at that time, so he managed to escape with his life."

Minato's eyes gradually darkened. He was the one who was in charge of dealing with the main force of the Kumo Ninja surprise attack force.

In that battle, Minato repelled the strongest combination of the third Raikage Son and Eight-Tails Jinchuriki at that time.

Yeyueai, the son of the third generation of Raikage who fought against him back then, is now the fourth generation of Raikage of Yunnin Village.

"That's no wonder."

Lu Jiu read the mission details recorded on the scroll. Although some of the escorts of the Fire Country Chamber of Commerce knew ninjutsu, they must be the elite ninjas in the village to be members of the cloud ninja surprise attack force.

It should come as no surprise that a dozen people escorting the cargo were killed.

"It's not appropriate for them, these novices, to perform this task."

Lu Jiu looked at Minato. This so-called mission of exterminating bandits was designed for the elite ninjas of the former cloud ninja surprise attack force. In terms of difficulty factor, it is a B-level or even A-level advanced task.

Itachi, Kido Daisuke, and Hattori Shinichi have just graduated for a month. Even if Shikakuban does have enough strength to complete this task, it is not in line with common sense.

Strength is one thing, but for these newcomers who have never killed anyone, it is too harsh to set this difficulty for the first battle.

"Of course it won't just be members of your Lu Jiu class."

Minato smiled lightly, when there was a knock on the office door, he immediately responded, "Please come in."

The door of the office was pushed back, Yuhi Zhenhong led the members of her team, and walked in.

"Lord Hokage."

Yuhi Makoto looked at Minato first, and nodded respectfully.

"Senior Zhenhong, you are too polite."

Minato waved his hand, looked at Lu Jiu and said, "If you two classes work together, there should be no risk in exterminating these bandits."

Both Shikahisa and Yuhi Makoto are the elites of Murakami Shinobi, and the strength of the two of them alone is enough to easily complete this mission.

"I see."

Lu Jiu murmured, and only then did he understand why Minato wasted manpower in assigning tasks to two classes at the same time.

It is now in a period of peace after the end of the Great War, and Itachi and his group of ninjas are a new generation that grew up under this peace.

But for ninjas, the risk of death accompanies their entire career. Even ninjas in peaceful times must overcome the fear of death.

The power arranged by Minato was enough to wipe out all the bandits without fail. He wanted to take this opportunity to train the six newcomers in the two classes.

"I have no doubts." Lu Jiu said.

"Well."

Minato looked at the members of the Shikaku class and Yuhi Makoro class in front of him, and said with a solemn expression.

"In the name of the Fourth Hokage, I entrust all the personnel of your two classes to temporarily merge, and Shikajiu will be the captain to command everyone. The task content is to destroy all bandits on the original wing mountain."

After the bandits on Mount Wing took away the goods, they were afraid of being retaliated by the Konoha ninja, so they quickly evacuated from the mountain they originally occupied.

However, Konoha's ninjas immediately blocked the border of the Fire Kingdom, and they could only flee around the territory.

"Yes!"

Lu Jiu and the members of Yuhi's true red class all responded in unison.

"I have entrusted the head of the Hyuga Clan, Hizuzu, and there will be a Hyuga ninja who will be in charge of the forward investigation and assist you in completing this mission."

When Minato spoke, his eyes paused for a while on Itachi.

Itachi immediately understood what he meant.

The Fourth Hokage gave him an opportunity to open Sharingan in front of everyone.

For novices who have never killed anyone, even if the target of extermination is a bandit full of crimes, it will be a huge psychological burden.

After Minato announced the task, the members of the two classes immediately set off to prepare.

Although the ninjas of the Land of Fire had already locked the approximate location of these bandits, the targets were always on the move.

Fortunately, most of the Bandit members are not ninjas, and their speed of movement is quite limited.

But even so, the mission will take at least several days.

Itachi returned home and quickly sorted out the items needed for the mission.

When Miqin learned that Itachi was about to carry out the mission of exterminating the bandits, even though she used to be a ninja herself, as a mother, she couldn't help worrying when she knew that her son was about to face the real slaughter.

"Come on brother!"

Sasuke, on the other hand, doesn't quite know what this mission means to the ninja career of an ordinary novice.

He has a lot of confidence in his brother.

Itachi petted a smile, stretched out his palm to rub Sasuke's hair, and at the same time raised his head to look at Mikoto, giving her a reassuring look.

"Don't worry, Mom, this mission will be led by Teacher Lu Jiu and Teacher Zhenhong, there will be no problem."

In fact, with his strength, Mo Shuo is a member of the cloud ninja surprise attack force and a group of bandits with low combat effectiveness. As long as it is not the shadow of the five ninja kingdoms, he has the ability to protect himself.

Ke'er Xingqianmu is worried that no matter what level of Itachi's strength, as long as there is a certain risk, Miqin will still feel uneasy.

"Let's go."

Walking out of the house, Quan had already packed his luggage at this time, and the two of them walked towards the departure assembly point, the Konoha gate, together.

Itachi noticed the unnatural expression on the face of the girl beside him.

It's no wonder that the mission they performed this time was to take people's lives.

Yiquan's character is actually not very suitable to be a ninja.

But now that he has chosen this path, there is no way out.

Life is born and life dies.

This is the truth Itachi has understood since he was very young. In this world, any life is unique, and everyone has only one life.
Of course, the current Itachi himself is an exception.

If possible, Itachi doesn't want to take the lives of others, but if they, as Konoha ninjas, don't exterminate these bandits, these people will only kill more innocent lives in the future.

Although there is no distinction between life and life, as a ninja, sometimes you have to make trade-offs between different lives.

The choice of life is the most difficult. No one understands this matter better than Itachi.

This is a ninja, whether in the light or hiding in the dark, most of the time, he is helpless.

So the first thing a ninja has to learn is patience.
