Hokage - Mirror Love

"No... I'm his classmate." Although she was very happy to be said to be a friend, Eri still denied it reflexively.

"Oh?" The man looked her up and down, "I'm Uchiha Shisui, what's your name?"

"Eri Sawamura..."

He is also from the Uchiha family, Shisui?Eri tilted her head, feeling as if she had heard this name somewhere before.

stop water? ...

"Ah! Is that the one that stops water instantly?" Eri suddenly realized, and stared at him with wide eyes.

"Uh, so I'm so famous." Zhishui rubbed the back of his head and laughed twice.

Instant body stillness... Another incredible genius.

"The teachers at school often mention you."

As the tail of the crane, Eri felt a lot of pressure when she met two geniuses in a row.

"School," Shisui laughed, "Itachi is also very popular at school."

Eri nodded, "Very popular."

"Is that so?" Zhishui's smile became teasing, "even if he always has a serious face?"

Eri nodded more seriously.

Shisui seems to know him very well, but the Uchiha family all have pretty faces after all, so even if Itachi doesn't have any expression, it doesn't affect his high popularity in the slightest.

"His deskmate must be a cute girl, right?"

Eri thought about Ayumi, in terms of appearance, she should be considered cute, so she nodded again.

"Hahaha, that ferret." Zhishui burst out laughing, as if he had heard something interesting, he bent over and couldn't stop laughing.

Eri didn't realize where the joke was at all, so Shisui smiled happily, and she stood there awkwardly, not knowing what expression to put on.

"Well... I'm going back." Eri looked back at the darkened forest behind her, and said goodbye to Shisui, "It's very late, let's talk next time."

"Let me see you off. It's already dark, and it's not safe for a girl to be alone." Zhishui followed her and walked a few steps, then turned his head and covered his face and burst out laughing.

"..." Eri suddenly felt that maybe geniuses and ordinary people have different smiles.

Eri's home is on the second floor of an unremarkable building in Konoha Village. Shisui stopped and looked at the dark windows for a while and asked in silence, "Aren't your parents at home?"

"No," Eri looked back at him, "my parents are gone, and I live alone."

"...Sorry." Zhishui showed an apologetic expression on his face.

"It's all right." Eri waved her hand, "Just stop here, thank you."

"En." Zhishui stretched out his hand and touched her head, with a gentle smile on his face, "Eri, you're a good boy."

Eri was stunned for a moment, watching Shisui disappear from her eyes in an instant, touched her head in a daze, and sighed subtly, can she be considered a good child...

Having said that, people in the Uchiha family like to apologize so much, so does Itachi, and so does Shisui.

Going for a stroll in the small forest every day after dinner, chatting with Itachi has become a new habit for Eri, and Itachi will occasionally teach her ninjutsu that is terrible, but Eri still can't understand his too concise click pull.

In fact, many times she sneaked past, trying to hide herself to scare him, but Itachi's perception seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, and sometimes she was spotted by him before she even saw Itachi.

Today is also the same, Eri squatted on the trunk of the tree holding her breath, using the branches and leaves of the tree to cover her figure, she came here without eating today, so she came here earlier than Itachi, hiding her breath on the tree, just want to know if If you don't move, will it be discovered by Itachi.

Eri stared nervously at the way Itachi usually came, and was careful not to make any movements, for fear of being exposed if she was negligent.

"Didn't you eat?"

The voice from behind made Eri startled and almost fell from the tree. When she looked back, she found Itachi had been standing behind her at some point, and she felt very depressed.

"No...how did you find me?"

"What do you think?" Itachi looked at her with a deep smile in his eyes.

...It's as if he didn't say anything, it must be because his skills are not good enough to be noticed.

Eri jumped down from the tree, saw the shuriken sticking out of the tree stump, and sighed with a sad face, "By the way, there is a shuriken throwing test tomorrow."

"Really?" Itachi also jumped down, and the Kunai he threw was accurately inserted into the red heart of the target.

"Itachi, I'm sure I can pass this small test, but I can't at all." Eri took out a few shurikens from her ninja bag and threw them at the nearest target, barely hitting one of them. edge of the target.

Seeing her horrible results, Eri looked at Itachi with a mournful face, "Am I not suitable to be a ninja?"

"Maybe it's just trying in the wrong direction."

Eri was stunned, and asked suspiciously, "What is the direction of effort?"

"Ninjas are also divided into many types, fighting type, sensory type, auxiliary type, medical type, and some ninjas choose to become teachers." Itachi glanced at her lightly, "Not everyone needs superb fighting skills, Eri If so, isn't the concealment technique very powerful?"

Eri's face that was full of anticipation collapsed in an instant, "Isn't it easy to find me, it's not very good at all."

"Well, there are other reasons." Itachi smiled slightly, "Actually, if Eri practiced a lot, it should be suitable for the intelligence department."

"...Really?" And it still sounds so lofty?Eri's eyes started to light up looking at Itachi.

"I thought so arbitrarily. Maybe there is a more suitable way for Eri." Itachi took out a shuriken, "However, you must become a ninja first, and you must master the basic self-protection ability."

As he said that, the shuriken in his hand shot into the wooden stakes precisely, and they were lined up in a neat row.

Ah, sure enough, it still has to be like this.

Eri sighed, then clenched her fists and cheered up, "I'll try my best to be a Genin!"

"Well refueling."

Eri glanced at Itachi secretly, feeling that the timing seemed right now, and said awkwardly and awkwardly, "Itachi, um, I have a request..."

"what?"

Eri suddenly felt a little lack of confidence, but it was at this juncture, and it was too late to back down.

"...Well, can you be my friend?"

"..." Itachi's expression was a little subtle for a moment, "Aren't we?"

Huh?That is to say, Itachi agrees with her?

Eri's apprehensive heart suddenly became excited, and her enthusiastic eyes stared at Itachi's back with a little hair, faintly feeling that he seemed to say something wrong.

However, this didn't affect Eri's good mood. She almost trotted all the way home, and then smirked at the big bear doll.

Qianlue, father in heaven, she finally made her first friend in her life!

But this good mood didn't last long. Only one day later, Eri, who was going to the small forest as usual, just opened the door, and found that people on the street were running in one direction in a panic. There was a huge roar.

"What's going on?" Eri took a few steps out, wanting to see what was going on there, but was caught off guard by someone pushing her back hard, and she staggered a few steps forward and fell to the ground.

A big piece was broken on the knee, Eri frowned in pain and stood up, but clearly saw a huge red beast wreaking havoc in the distance, it looked like a fox, with nine tails behind it Waving.

Where the tail swept across, the buildings were destroyed in a mess, and the deafening roar seemed to shake the ground.

"...a monster?" Eri stood there stiffly, her mind blank.

"What are you doing! Hurry up and hide!" A ninja grabbed her hand in the chaos, ran to the other side with the crowd, and pushed her vigorously into a black room.

Many people sat here with their heads bowed. They couldn't see clearly in the dim room. They could only hear loud noises and anxious shouts from outside. It spread all the way along her back, making her shiver a little, but more because of the fear brought to her by the monsters outside.

The air in the room seemed to be frozen, making it hard to breathe, and suppressed crying and low cursing could be heard from time to time.

The battle outside seemed to affect this place as well. Every violent vibration would cause a layer of smoke and dust to fall from the wall. The sound became louder and closer to them. The sharp crying made Eri feel more anxious and fearful. stand up.

I don't know how long it took, the noise outside gradually calmed down, Eri moved a bit, but found that her back was already stiff and sore.

"how is it now?"

"I don't know, who dares to go out and see."

"Aren't there ninjas outside the door?"

"I didn't hear their voices just now."

The deadly silence outside the house seemed to bring greater fear, and the discussion in the room became louder and louder. It took a long time before the door knocked, and the dark room suddenly became brighter. Eri's eyes Unable to adapt to the light, he narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the ninja standing at the door.

"It's...it's okay, Nine Tails has been sealed by the fourth generation of adults, everyone is safe."

It was obvious that they were announcing good news, but their faces were full of sadness that couldn't be melted away.

"In order to protect Konoha, to protect everyone...the fourth generation of adults...sacrificed..."

It seemed that it took all the energy of the ninja to say this result, his voice was faintly crying, as if he was going to cry in the next second.

The street was still filled with the smell of smoke, dust and blood. Eri was walking back, but even her steps were heavy.

Yes, as a ninja, it is an honor to sacrifice to protect the village, so is the fourth generation, and so is her father.

She obviously wanted to become a ninja, but she didn't have the awareness to face death at all, but everyone was working hard to become a ninja, so she also worked hard for it.

Until today, she didn't fully understand what a real ninja is.

Even so, do you want to be a ninja? ?
