This Uchiha Itachi is very lonely

At the wall separating the Daimyo Mansion from the inner city of Kyoto, the daimyo brought his sons Sakamoto Natsuharu and Sakamoto Usei to see off the third Hokage and two "guards" from Konoha.

As Sarutobi Hiruzen said, the afternoon after the banquet, Itachi and the others prepared to bid farewell to the daimyo, left Kyoto City, and returned to Konoha.

"If there is nothing wrong with this year, I hope that Daimyo can also go to Konoha and celebrate the New Year with us."

For Daimyo's kind greetings, Sarutobi Hiruzen also extended an invitation.

The two said goodbye to each other happily, and beside them, whether it was the brothers Sakamoto Xiaqing standing next to the daimyo, or Itachi and Kakashi, they all watched the scene calmly without speaking.

Everything was uneventful, as if the "deal" mentioned by Itachi and Sakamoto Xia Qing when they left alone yesterday had never happened before.

Even on the verge of parting, Itachi never made eye contact with the three of them.

Similarly, the three of them just stared at Itachi calmly, without any excitement or excitement in their eyes.

Everyone concealed it very well, in front of the third Hokage who is Konoha's party and Hatake Kakashi.

"Itachi, didn't His Highness Xia Qing promise you a valuable official dress yesterday?"

Sitting on the carriage arranged by the daimyo to drive them away from the inner city of Kyoto, Hiruzaru Sarutobi asked casually, "You don't seem to have taken anything."

"Fairy Wood"

As he spoke, his eyes fell on Itachi.

"Something went wrong."

Itachi replied softly, "The daimyo and the others are wearing clothes that suit me, and they don't seem to have any effect."

"So after I left yesterday, I discussed with His Royal Highness Xia Qing and asked if I could change to a set of armor, and he agreed."

"The time to build the armor is more troublesome than the formal suit, so he will wait for a while before someone sends it to Konoha."

By the way, the process of formally conducting the transaction.

Today, the deal has been preliminarily concluded. Yesterday, Xia Qing Sakamoto made a decision without even discussing with the daimyo.

Undoubtedly "agreed".

The Uchiha clan did come up with a "treasure" that they could not refuse, and they had to complete such a deal even with the idea of ​​offending Konoha.

However, even if it is initially achieved, this process still needs time to prove.

For example, the daimyo and the others need to really see a person who does not have ninja talent, and only rely on the "tempering method" that Itachi said, to obtain physical functions far superior to ordinary people.

The planning of Uchiha's family land near Kyoto City.

The direction of Uchiha's follow-up funding supply.

How to achieve these goals without Konoha noticing, etc... a lot of transaction process.

Next to him, Hiruzaru Sarutobi nodded in understanding of Itachi's response, "It's really a bit of a waste to serve ninjas like us."

"If it is a battle armor, it will increase your advantage even more. It is a very rational choice."

"However... it's a bit presumptuous, next time you should discuss it with me in advance."

As a ninja, he can understand Itachi's choice of course.But what others promised was a "formal dress" tailored by weaving, but Itachi asked for an "armor" like a lion, which is indeed a bit impolite.

Obviously, Itachi was very polite in words, deeds and other aspects, but he didn't expect to fall into the ninja's old way in this kind of matter.

"It's really a bit presumptuous."

Itachi nodded softly, and didn't explain much about Sakamoto Xiaqing's statement that "fabric" is not cheaper than "iron material".

With this sound, the carriage gradually became quiet.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi closed his eyes and rested his mind quite tiredly, he was indeed very tired during this time.

Kakashi, on the other hand, was reading a book.

Itachi, there is nothing to pass the time, and he can only watch the flow of people outside from the gap in the curtain, and take a last look at this well-mannered and civilized city.

But soon, the carriage stopped at the gate of the inner city of Kyoto.

Itachi and others got off the carriage, bid farewell to the daimyo's retainers, and walked towards a nearby village on foot.

Naturally, they would not return from the official road under the driving of this carriage.

Instead, it is the same as when we came here, with a different route back to the village.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is very cautious, Itachi can see it from the relationship during this period of time.

But even though he was cautious, he was still targeted.

"Itachi, there's a bunch of... very strange things following you all the time."

Artoria's slightly hesitant voice sounded in Itachi's mind, "A white ooze like clay, full of life, has been following you since you left the Daming Mansion."

During this time, if Itachi didn't have time to talk to her, she didn't follow her all the time, but wandered around by herself.

As a result, she often gets some extra perspective.

After all, in the incorporeal state, no one in this world should be able to see her except Itachi.

If someone really followed and watched, she would probably be easily spotted by her, and follow directly behind, just like Zhishui back then.

As for Artoria's warning, a picture appeared in Itachi's mind.

A small group of clay-like objects was constantly shifting positions as they moved.

Or go directly into the ground, or jump on the branches, no doubt they are following them and have life.

"It doesn't look like it belongs to the Konoha side."

Following Sarutobi Hiruzen and Kakashi leaping in the woods, heading towards the next village, Itachi's eyes moved slightly, "Could it be someone secretly cultivated by the Daimyo Mansion?"

"Or... Yunyin Village?"

He analyzed the whereabouts of this lump of clay in his mind, but he didn't call out immediately and inform the two people beside him.

Because Itachi couldn't explain how he knew it, and he was not sure whether Sarutobi Hiruzen and Kakashi knew the identity of the "comer".

Completely ignoring the group of "things" that were always following behind him, Itachi, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Kakashi hurried on their way in silence for the next few days.

On the way back, Hiruzaru Sarutobi was not as comfortable as when Tathagata came, nor did he speak so many words, and there were no continuous temptations.

Not only did he look mentally and physically exhausted, but his mind was much deeper, as if he was thinking about something all the time.

However, as they got farther and farther away from Kyoto City and closer to Konoha Village, the group of "things" that followed them finally changed. They no longer just followed them blindly, but turned into human forms.

A "creature" that looks ordinary, but doesn't look like a human being at all.

At the same time, with the help of Artoria's vision, Itachi also saw a figure wearing a spiral pattern mask appearing beside him.

This figure has short hair and is dressed in a black robe embroidered with red clouds.

And the moment he saw this figure appear, an indescribable sense of crisis rose in Itachi's heart.Because that figure appeared out of thin air next to the white man.

Time and space spells!

Itachi was not the first to hear of the existence of this technique, but it was the first to witness it with his own eyes.

It is detected that your latest reading progress is "Chapter 90: [Tired Parents] (seeking subscription)"

Is it synced to the latest?turn off sync

Chapter 130 Three: [Assault]

It's an attack!

The first impression of this masked man in my mind is defined as "time and space spells".

In the dense forest, in the image in Itachi's mind, after the masked man appeared, he left the white man behind and rushed towards this side without any cover or concealment!

Its body moves so fast that it seems to ignore objects!

And in fact, he does ignore objects!

Just like Artoria's incorporeal state, his figure directly surpassed obstacles such as trees, rocks, etc. Only the little dust splashed every time his footsteps landed on the ground could tell that he was A real person!

Instinctively, Itachi wanted to remind him.

At this moment, even if he didn't know the faction the masked man belonged to, he knew that he planned to attack himself and the others.

But soon, he suppressed the growing sense of crisis in his heart and did not make a sound.

Itachi chose to believe in the two people beside him, a third-generation Hokage, and a well-known Jonin in the village.

"There are enemies!"

Fortunately, Hiruzaru Sarutobi, the third Hokage, did not live up to Itachi's expectations with such a blatant attack.

Even its movement hardly caused any bells and whistles.But he still noticed the opponent in his field of vision before the enemy arrived!

Almost at the same moment, the lazy Hatake Kakashi suddenly disappeared from Sarutobi Hiruzen's side, and his aura disappeared from Itachi's five senses.

It should be hiding around, waiting for the opportunity to move!

At the same time, Itachi could clearly feel a heavy sense of oppression from the originally thin Sarutobi Hiruzen beside him.

On that wrinkled old face, the tired eyes instantly became sharp, and his eyes locked on the figure rushing towards this side.

His fighting posture is more than imposing, and he is no weaker than Arturia who is the queen!

After all, he is a veteran galloping on the battlefield!

"Itachi, pay attention to your surroundings."

Facing the figure jumping between the trees, stepping on the branches, and galloping, Hiruzaru Sarutobi reminded Itachi in a cold voice.

Then, he opened his mouth to ask again loudly, "Your Excellency is..."

"Earth escape? Earth thrust!"

Before the last sentence was finished, Hiruzaru Sarutobi's hand flexibly formed a seal, and the words in his mouth had become the sound of harmony when the spell was activated.

Because he could tell that the visitor did not intend to communicate with them, nor did he slow down in his words.

That being the case, there is no need to talk.

bang bang bang-

Accompanied by a dull sound, sharp soil thorns drilled out from the ground, like sharp spears, piercing the galloping figure.

In this regard, the masked man had no idea of ​​dodging, and still maintained the original trajectory of action and attacked this way.

"Separate?"

When the sharp thorns that broke through the ground passed through the phantom like an illusion, Hiruzaru Sarutobi frowned and made a judgment.

And it's an ordinary avatar technique, not a shadow avatar with a physical body.

No... No, since it is the person who attacked him, it is not just a relatively basic technique like the avatar technique for probing.

On the ground, looking at the figure that was getting closer and closer, Hiruzaru Sarutobi's heart was full of thoughts.

His face was very serious, but there was no anxiety in his heart.

Because in the battle, the emotion of urgency is useless.

Standing quietly on the flat ground, the aged Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't try to dodge or retreat away from this strange attacker, his figure was as calm as a rock, and he only assumed a fighting posture.

"Anti-God Evil God"

He was staring seriously at the figure that was getting closer and closer to him.And there was movement in his hand again, throwing several shurikens towards the "clone".

There was a buzzing sound and shurikens turning, and these shurikens hit the "clone" at different speeds and in different directions.

However, the shuriken still passed through slowly and firmly nailed to the tree behind him, leaving no trace on this "clone"!

"Is it really a clone?"

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen had many thoughts in his mind, he had launched two rounds of offensives as a test.

But from discovering the enemy to when he gradually approached, it didn't even take a minute!

This is the real fight between ninjas, which is different from ordinary drills. In every second, life and death may be decided!

At this time, the figure of the masked man had already come to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Almost... face to face!

Through the sunlight, Sarutobi Hiruzen could clearly see the lines under his wooden mask, and even... the Sharingan under the mask!

Kaleidoscope writing wheel eye!
