Qingchuan didn't want to wake up.
Although he was only lightly asleep, he had planned to set off at night.
We need to give Itachi and the others enough time to leave the village.
only.
It's only dusk now.
The disgusting aura emanating from the snake caused him to wake up prematurely.
In three months, his range of perception expanded considerably.
Within a radius of eight miles, he could sense anyone whose soul was strong enough.
Orochimaru hasn't gone that far yet; his soul strength is still considerable...
Moreover, it's highly iconic, making it perfect as an alarm clock.
Qingchuan pursed his lips.
"Now that you're awake, let's set off."
"At most, I'll just stay for a while..."
He picked up Senbonzakura, quickly washed his face, and looked at himself in the mirror. Aokawa raised an eyebrow.
"So handsome!"
This is a naturally doll-like face.
With her gentle features, sweet smile, and the naturally long, straight black hair typical of the Uchiha clan, she has a perfect image.
"It seems that my buff recovery skills have improved recently."
Qingchuan silently gave himself a thumbs up.
Then, his gaze turned cold.
Pushing open the door, Orochimaru stood in the open space outside, arms crossed, looking ahead with interest.
"Have you rested well, Haruko?"
"I'm sorry... Orochimaru-sensei." Aokawa walked straight past Orochimaru.
"I don't want to cut you tonight."
Qingchuan's steps did not stop.
Orochimaru's expression remained unchanged...
They didn't stop Qingchuan, nor did they even bother to ask him anything.
Haruko didn't want to continue...
Never mind then.
The master-disciple relationship between the two has always been so delicate.
Many people say his training methods are too harsh.
Teaching a six-year-old child, especially a little girl, shouldn't involve such high-intensity training.
But who could know...?
Was each of those so-called teachings actually a challenge from the girl to him?
In the girl's words.
He... was the one who got slashed...
A soft laugh.
As a gust of wind blew by, Orochimaru's figure disappeared.
.....
On the road leading to the Land of Fields.
Itachi and his group moved forward slowly.
For a ninja, this speed of movement can only be described as snail's pace.
But what can you do when the person you're escorting is just an ordinary person?
Moreover, he was fat and had a lot of excess flesh. Even with four people carrying him in the sedan chair, it was still a struggle. He didn't look like someone who could withstand a bumpy ride.
The sun is about to set.
It seems they'll definitely be setting up camp on the road tonight.
"Hey! Can we hurry up?!"
"Where will we stay tonight if things continue like this?"
"Let's make this clear first: if I'm not satisfied with the journey, I'll deduct your reward!"
The employer, who was inside the sedan chair, poked his pig-like head out and said with a displeased expression.
This attitude immediately angered the escort team.
"You were the one who refused to speed up!"
"She complained of feeling dizzy after only a couple of steps, and now she's complaining about being too slow?!"
Itachi's two teammates argued vehemently with reason.
"You you you you you...you brats! You just wait!"
"When I return to the Land of Fields, I'll definitely detain you all... Huh?"
The sound stopped abruptly.
Just as they were about to berate the fat pig employer for his unreliable attitude towards doing things in Konoha, they were stunned when they saw the kids suddenly acting as if they were facing a major enemy.
The sudden seriousness of the atmosphere made him feel a little panicked for a moment.
Despite his fear, the fat pig employer reluctantly poked his head out of the window a little.
A mysterious figure with a chilling aura and wearing a strange mask stood in front of the group, blocking their way.
Even from a distance, that chilling killing intent caused the fat pig employer's mind to collapse instantly!
Who are you?
Why are you blocking our way?
The junior ninja who was just arguing with her employer has lost her confidence.
The mysterious figure in front of him exuded such a terrifying aura that he dared not even speak loudly, for fear of angering the other party!
Itachi, who remained silent from the very beginning.
He silently moved a little closer to where the sedan chair was.
He maintained a basic level of composure.
He remembered that this mission was an escort mission.
The mysterious man had clearly noticed Itachi's actions as well.
"Are you sure you don't want to run away in this situation?"
The only eye visible beneath the mask was fixed intently on Itachi.
seem.
His goal, from the very beginning, had nothing to do with anyone else...
"We'll stop him in a bit. You guys go ahead and hurry back to inform Konoha."
Itachi's heartbeat quickened involuntarily.
That murderous aura was so chilling!
Even though he had already witnessed the cruelty of the battlefield, at this moment, he still couldn't completely control the instinctive fear within his body!
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!"
"Let's go! Let those brats stop him!"
"I paid!"
The fat pig employer hurriedly told the sedan chair carriers to run away!
Seeing this scene.
The mysterious person made no move.
He just kept looking at Itachi.
The mask covered his face, but his eye, too, was devoid of any emotion.
The target being escorted is getting further and further away.
In the face of life and death, it seems they squeezed out all their potential and ran away at top speed!
Just as Itachi breathed a sigh of relief and was preparing to think about what to do next,
Several screams suddenly rang out!
Itachi quickly looked over and saw an identical figure blocking their path!
A few ordinary people don't even have the right to resist.
He was already collapsed on the ground!
The pungent smell of blood gradually spread.
This small team, on their first C-level mission outside the village, was completely bewildered...
