Konoha's Itachi Reappearance

375 chapter

"Mom, we're here, go back quickly."

Naruto and Kushina walked in front of the Itachi three, the former turned his head and said impatiently.

Out of worry about Naruto's first mission out of the village, as a mother, Kushina wanted to send him off no matter what.

Naruto, however, did not want to accept such concern.

Especially since Hinata and Sai's parents didn't come, Kushina was standing here now, feeling really...lost face.

"you shut up."

But how could Kushina listen to him? She reached out and put her hand on Naruto's head, and then said to Itachi: "Itachi, long time no see."

Her eyes are gentle, and on Jiuxinna's side, Itachi can be regarded as growing up under her watch.

Kushina and Mikoto are good friends, so in her eyes, Itachi is also her child.

"Long time no see, Aunt Kushina."

Itachi responded that during the two years when he was in a coma when he was a child, not only Mikoto and Izumi took care of him, but Kushina also took care of him a lot.

"Naruto, I leave it to you. This kid has been reckless since he was a child, and you know his character well. This is his first time out of the village on a mission. Please be more careful."

"Mom, I'm a real ninja now anyway, don't keep treating me like a child, okay?"

Naruto curled his lips in displeasure.

"A real ninja, you are still far behind."

But his words can only be dismissed by Jiu Xinnai.

Moreover, Naruto did not dare to say any more words of rebuttal...

"Don't worry, Naruto is also a very good ninja, there will be no problem." Seeing this, Itachi nodded.

"Thank you then."

Kushina's personality is the same as Naruto's, and he is very detached. After thanking Itachi, his eyes quickly turned to Sai and Hinata beside Itachi.

"Are you Hinata and Sai?"

Kushina raised her eyebrows, and she was also clear about the composition of Naruto's team members.

"Well...Hello, aunt!"

Hinata bowed politely to Kushina with her soft voice.

Sai, on the other hand, nodded lightly in a relatively flat manner.

But Kushina wouldn't care about such things.

She stared at Hinata's fair face and said, "What a cute little girl."

Hinata was slightly startled, and Kushina's eyes immediately turned to Sai again.

"This kid looks a bit like Sasuke..."

Kushina stroked her chin with her hand, and looked back at Itachi.

And it does.

Before Itachi could reply, Kushina had turned her gaze back to Hinata and Sai and said solemnly.

"You should be good friends with my Naruto, right? For the task, we must work together!"

Although Kushina is worried about Naruto's reckless behavior, she is quite confident in her son's character.

"Okay, Mom, I don't have time. You will delay our departure time."

Naruto finally couldn't hold it anymore, and yelled at Kushina in a low voice.

But as soon as he said it, he regretted it...

Cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead, and Kushina, who heard his roar, slowly turned her head.

"Mom, I..."

Naruto looked terrified and quickly explained.

But Jiu Xinna was not angry, she looked calm and said, "Sorry, I understand."

Then, when Naruto looked at him in shock, Kushina smiled at him.

"Come on, Naruto, you must complete the task smoothly!"

Of course, Kushina didn't want to hurt Naruto's confidence as a ninja. Everything she did before was out of a mother's worry about her son.

But equally, she used to be a ninja in the village, so of course she knew what was most important to a ninja.

That is the pride and pride of being a ninja.

As long as you have these, no matter what kind of difficulties you face, you can overcome them and finally complete the task smoothly.

Her smile infected Naruto, who soon had the same clean and hearty smile on his face.

"Well, wrap it up with me!"

Itachi watched the scene quietly from the side.

Although the way of expression is different, but every time before he leaves home to perform missions, Mikoto's eyes and mood are no different from Kushina's.

Erxingqianlimu is worried, no matter what level of strength Itachi or the future Naruto has reached, but the mission of the ninja is accompanied by risks, they will always be worried.

In order to reduce the mother's worries, what they can do is try their best to complete each mission and return safely.

"Aunt Jiushina, let's go!"

After Itachi finished speaking, he led Naruto, Sai, and Hinata quickly out of Konoha's gate.

Kushina stood at the door with her hands on her chest. She was always carefree, but now her brows were lightly frowned, and her beautiful face was filled with worry.

She watched the four figures gradually move away until they completely disappeared into the dense woods.

...

Even if it was just a C-level mission like escorting a secret letter, Itachi and the three members of Team [-] did not take anything lightly.

At the highest average speed that Naruto, Hinata, and Sai can maintain now, it will take about two days to reach the border of Fire Nation.

After nearly half of the journey, it was completely dark.

Itachi ordered the three of them to stop and spend the night in a cave in a rocky mountain.

In the cave, a bonfire was lit, and Weasel and three students sat around.

They ate the most common dry food in the ninja world, which was dry and astringent.

In the ninja school, although I had tasted this kind of dry food that could be carried around for a long time, no one had ever filled their stomach with it at that time.

Some children found it difficult to accept it at first, but this did not happen to Naruto, Hinata, and Sai.

They finished their dinner quickly, and then had nothing to do, chatting with each other.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

It was a small talk, but Naruto didn't forget the mission.

He spontaneously summoned several shadow clones, and then scattered them around the stone mountain.

Although within the Kingdom of Fire, it is almost impossible for other forces to snatch the secret letter from them.

Moreover, the C-level mission secret message itself is not that important.

But for Naruto and the others, this was the first time they went out of the village to perform a mission.

It is necessary to develop the habit of being alert at all times.

Itachi was quite pleased that although Naruto was not good at theory, he was not bad at all in terms of combat and practical tasks.

"You can't just let Naruto-kun be in charge of security alone, Mr. Itachi, please arrange the order of night security duty."

Hinata said that as a young lady from the Hyuga family, even though this is only her first time actually performing a mission.

But the details and procedures for performing most common tasks were naturally taught early by the Hyuga clan's tutors.
