Naruto: The Iceman of the Senju Family

Uchiha clan.

Because the distance was relatively long and there was no rush on the way, Quan didn't return to the intersection outside the clan until the sun had almost completely set. Unexpectedly, she happened to see an acquaintance.

"Weasel~"

After the opponent finished saying goodbye to his teammates, Quancai sped up briskly and quickly caught up with him.

"?"

Itachi, who was walking alone and thinking about something silently, turned around subconsciously when he heard the sound. When he saw Quan running towards him with a smile like a flower, the melancholy in his eyes suddenly turned into a hint of relaxation.

When Quan was closer, he nodded slightly to her.

"You're back."

"Yeah~ Long time no see!"

"Ah, you too."

As the two of them talked, they walked together in the direction of the Uchiha clan again.

Or you can simply say that Izumi is basically the one taking the initiative, and Itachi is just a yes man...

"By the way, are those your teammates you saw just now? I remember they don't look like this, or am I remembering it wrong?"

"..."

Speaking of this, There was an obvious pause in Itachi's voice. It wasn't until Quan turned his head to look over in confusion that he heard him say in a voice without any emotion:

"You remember correctly, they are my new teammates."

Paused,

"Izumo Tenma died in a mission some time ago, and Inari Kokoro gave up her identity as a ninja because she couldn't bear this fear, so the two of them joined my team as supplements."

"Ah... I'm sorry... As a friend, I didn't know that something like this happened to you..."

Quan's face immediately showed obvious apology.

"It's ok."

Itachi shook his head slightly, his voice seemed to be answering, but also seemed to be telling himself:

"As a ninja, you have to be prepared to deal with various emergencies when performing tasks, and death is naturally included among them."

"..."

After hearing his answer, Quan, who thought that although he didn't care enough, he was at least a good friend, his brows suddenly twitched slightly.

She felt that although Itachi didn't like to talk much in the past, he was just an introvert and was definitely not someone who would say such things.

She didn't know what Itachi had gone through to become like this. She only knew that if things continued like this, Itachi would most likely go in a direction that a friend would never want to see!

"Ah~ let's not talk about that, let's talk about your new teammates! They are willing to send you here, you must get along very well~"

"Are they?"

Itachi didn't think there was anything wrong with her abrupt change of topic, but immediately followed her words and carefully thought about the performance of the two new teammates, and then nodded in agreement.

"Although they are one class later than us, the two of them are indeed much better."

As he said this, Itachi's mind couldn't help but recall the mission he had just performed with his teammates--

Among the group of vegetable merchants who often visit Konoha Village, one of them was actually found to be a spy from Iwa Ninja Village!

After the spy's identity was discovered, Itachi's second squad received instructions to deal with this person.

In fact, Itachi had long known from his father's conversations with the ninjas in the clan that the ANBU was usually responsible for such work of eliminating enemy spies.

The reason why this mission was assigned to them, the second class of all genin, was

In addition to the ridicule from his teammates that "the higher-ups must still be interested in Itachi's excellence," Itachi felt that the more important thing was that all the ANBU should be busy dealing with a major incident now——

Hinata's kidnapping can be temporarily hidden from ordinary people, but it can never be hidden from Uchiha, who is also a super-rich clan.

What's more, the Uchiha clan is also responsible for the security mission of the entire Konoha Village. If the guy from Kumogakure Village can sneak in so easily, the police force headed by Uchiha Fugaku will more or less suffer.

In order to avoid another war, almost all ANBU members were sent out.

Including the main ninjas in the village, they have also been ordered not to leave their posts at will in the near future, and to be prepared for "emergency situations" at any time.

As for what the "emergency situation" is, you have to understand it yourself~

It is precisely because of this that Itachi's second class was selected——

After all, the senior officials couldn't just watch the spies of Iwa Ninja Village escape, and Itachi's excellence was enough for them to ignore many other factors.

'Actually~'

Seeing Izumi looking at him with some concern, Itachi couldn't help but suddenly had a thought in his heart:

'If they had come back a few days earlier, the second shift might not have been able to do this task at all. '

"..."

Suddenly heartbroken.

After all, because the new teammates are all newcomers, they have been doing D-level tasks for three consecutive months since then. Every time they go out, they are either catching birds, walking the dog, or plucking wheat seedlings for the old lady...

Let alone improving his strength, he didn't even have a chance to use his Sharingan.

Itachi is anxious!

Really anxious!

The increasingly heavy atmosphere of the clan meeting, the increasingly excessive clan meeting issues, and the ninjas in the clan who are immersed in the "Glory of Uchiha" and can't extricate themselves...

Every time he thought about this, the impatience and powerlessness in his heart became more obvious and unbearable!

I feel that compared to Quan, who laughs and laughs every day and seems to have no lofty ambitions, what he does is more like a waste of life!

"By the way, I have something to tell you."

Thinking of the gloomy atmosphere at the clan meeting, Itachi couldn't help but think of the masked man who killed Izumo Tenma.

"If you encounter a man wearing a black robe and a black-striped mask outside in the future, be sure to be vigilant!"

Thinking that his attack would go through the opponent's head, and the strange way the masked man disappeared when he left, and even if he hadn't happened to meet "Kakashi Hatake" there that time, he might have also...

wrong!

He will definitely die in his hands like Izumo Tenma!

He would never forget the three-magatama Sharingan he saw through the hole in the mask that day.

In those eyes, Itachi could no longer see anything except indifference.

It was as if in that guy's eyes, nothing in this world was worthy of his attention.

"Okay, I get it now!"

Although he didn't understand it at all, Quan still nodded seriously and wrote down his reminder.

After all, anyone who is familiar with Itachi knows that he has never been a person who talks nonsense~

******

On the other side, unlike Senju Mayuki and Izumi, when Hyuga Tokuma returned to the Hyuga clan, the first thing he saw was not his close family members or close friends, but white flags. White flags can be seen everywhere...

'In the end what happened? '

It's not that he has never seen birth, old age, sickness and death, but he has never seen something like this hanging on the door of almost every house that symbolizes condolences to the deceased!

Who is it... or how many clan members have died? !

Very few tribesmen can be seen at intersections and streets.

Even if I see a few occasionally, they all walk quickly in a certain direction with sad faces and hurried steps.

I ran home all the way with extreme uneasiness. It wasn't until I entered the door that I saw my father and mother who were also preparing to go out. Only then did I learn from their mouths what had happened:

From Yunyin Village, they sent envoys to sign a peace agreement, went to the other party and returned again with the intention of kidnapping Miss Hinata, and then the patriarch captured the other party and shattered their conspiracy...

As for what happened next, ordinary people like them don't know. They only know that the ninja from Yunyin Village died in the end, and the other party demanded that the Hyuga clan must hand over the murderer--

That is, the body of the patriarch,

Otherwise, it will be regarded as Konoha Village taking the initiative to tear up the treaty and start a war again!

In order to prevent the Hyuga clan from being blamed for causing another war, the clan leader's younger brother, Hyuga Hizashi, took the initiative to sacrifice himself for the clan!

And tonight is his funeral. . .
