Konoha: This ninja is suspicious by nature

Chapter 117
In the early morning, a vast white mist rises from the sky and the earth, and the rivers, vegetation, mountains and plains are shrouded in a blur.

The Konoha Village in the distance also seemed to be covered with a white veil, and in the haze you could see the hustle and bustle of people coming and going in the market.

On a high cliff, two men in black robes with red clouds and bamboo hats were looking up, silent, as if the harmonious village in front of them also made them feel peaceful.

One of the tall men said: "Mr. Weasel, are you excited to return to your hometown after a long absence?"

The man named Itachi lowered the bamboo hat with his hands, and the wind chimes hanging on the side of the bamboo hat jingled, whispering: "I heard that Orochimaru attacked Konoha some time ago, but it doesn't seem to have any effect?"

"Haha, it seems that only one Hokage died. I really don't know how he did it. The thunder is loud and the rain is small, but he has always been like this." The tall man said with a slight sarcasm, not as good as Orochimaru, an old senior. The Itachi in front of him deserves respect.

The morning wind, mixed with mist, blew up the white gauze on the edge of the bamboo hat that covered his face, exposing the two tear grooves of Itachi.

After a while, the tall man asked: "Let's take a walk?"

"Let's go," Itachi replied.

Then two figures sneaked in quietly as if they were floating in thick fog, accompanied by the sound of wind chimes on the bamboo hats.

Carefully planned to talk to Jiraiya first, but he didn't know his whereabouts, so he had to go to Naruto first.

After going to Naruto's house to search to no avail, he came to the Ichiraku Noodle House and learned that Naruto had indeed been here for breakfast, and according to what Uncle Ichiraku said, Naruto followed a white-haired strong man in a hurry after breakfast. and ran home.

He carefully guessed that they should have set off, but he was not in a hurry to catch up. After all, this was one of the few times that Jiraiya and Naruto spent together. He would not join in the fun, as long as he could contact people.

It's better to say goodbye to Kai and Xiao Li first. Just thinking about it, Hexin was walking on the street of Konoha Hospital. From time to time, he lamented that the fog was too thick today, and even his hands were sticky.

Passing by a dessert shop, he thought about bringing some dumplings as gifts, so he strode inside. When he saw the two people on the left wearing black and red cloud robes, his eyelids twitched subconsciously and closed them immediately.

He yelled, "Oops! I forgot to bring money!"

Finished in one go, he ran out of the store without looking back, like a fast horse galloping past, leaving behind billows of dust. Passers-by behind him couldn't help but marvel, is this kid rushing to reincarnate?

Zhanxin ran away in a flash and Kakashi, who was coming towards the dessert shop, just missed him. Looking at the familiar back, Kakashi murmured: "It seems to be Zhenxin."

Just as he was about to enter the store, Kakashi stopped. Two unfamiliar figures in black and red cloud suits caught his attention. He naturally took out his novel and leaned against the wooden wall outside the store.

As a ninja and a native of Konoha, Kakashi is naturally very sensitive to unfamiliar faces. At this moment, he pretended to be waiting for someone but was actually observing the two people in the store.

Asma and Hong walked towards each other. The two were on a date, and it was inevitable that they would be a little embarrassed to meet an acquaintance suddenly.It was Asma who spoke first: "Kakashi, why are you here? Are you going to see Obito again?"

"That's right." Kakashi scratched his hair, "Are you guys dating? It's going well."

Two clusters of blush rose on the tip of her red face, "No, I just bought some meatballs for Anko."

Kakashi's eyes turned to the two strangers in the store with a deep look. Asuma and Kurenai immediately understood what he meant. The three of them pretended to continue chatting, but in fact they had already understood each other.

Kakashi could not continue to monitor to avoid the other party's suspicion, so Asuma and Kurenai continued to follow more covertly. This is also one of the common techniques in ninja tracking.

"Kakashi-sensei, why are you late again?" Sasuke's figure walked towards him again.

"Haha, the fog is too thick today and I got lost," Kakashi made a random excuse.

"Naruto is not here today either. I don't know where he is."

Sasuke said dissatisfiedly that today was originally the day when the seventh class assembled, but Naruto didn't come, and Kakashi didn't know what to dawdle here.

"Then let's go and bring some food to Sakura." Kakashi, Asuma and Kurenai nodded, and then left with Sasuke.

Asuma and Kurenai looked inside the store and saw that the two people they wanted to monitor had already disappeared.The two men immediately chased after him and came to the bank of the moat in the south of the city.

"stop!"

Asuma and Kurenai blocked the way.

"You two don't seem to be from Konoha? What are you doing here?" Hong asked.

"Is it Mr. Asma and Miss Hong?"

The man in black stretched out his right hand to reveal the red "Zhu" ring on his ring finger, took off his bamboo hat and threw it aside.

"Itachi Uchiha." Asuma was surprised when he saw the other person's face, "Why did you come back to Konoha?"

Uchiha Itachi's reputation was well-known in Konoha. He could scare the jounin of Konoha and make the children of the village stop crying. Asuma's reaction was not surprising.

"I advise you two not to interfere, otherwise you will die." Itachi said calmly.

Asma threw away the cigarette butt from his mouth and looked at the other person, "Who are you?"

"Allow me to introduce myself." The tall man opened his hat, revealing a shark-like complexion, "I am Kirigakure Kaikan Kakisame."

Hong became vigilant and said: "One of the seven ninja swords, the owner of the shark muscle, is wanted by the kingdom of water for a major treason."

"You two are both S-class traitor ninjas who are on the run from the ninja world. What are your intentions in coming to Konoha?"

Asuma's alert expression was palpable, and he was ready for battle.

"You talk a lot? Just ask!"

Kisame turned to look at Itachi, pulled out the giant sword Samehada tied with a bandage on his back, and slashed hard.

Asuma put his hands into his pockets and put on his knives, a type of chakra knife with a hilt integrated into the blade and a saw-shaped outer edge.

Both hands held the sword against Kisame's sword. The two were about the same size and strength. Kisame turned his wrist forcefully, and the broad Samehada blade touched Asuma's arm.

"Same muscle is not for chopping, but for shaving!"

Kisame shook his wrist and slashed hard, a stream of blood surged up, and the bandage on the upper part of the same muscle also fell off, revealing the blue barbs all over the blade.

The red hands beside Asma formed a seal, and the figure slowly disappeared, "Magic, tree-bound killing."

"Genjutsu?" Kisame murmured, and then felt thorns growing out of his lower body.

On the other hand, Itachi remained motionless, his red magatama eyes flickering.

An old tree grew out from behind Itachi and stretched out its branches to trap him. A red figure emerged from the tree behind it. She held a kunai and was about to wipe Itachi's neck.

Itachi was unmoved, his cheeks trembled slightly, and the roles were reversed in an instant. The person tied to the tree turned red, and Itachi was approaching her with a kunai.

"Illusion rebound?" Hong was shocked.
