Naruto: First Love

Chapter 1 After the War
This chapter repeats the free chapter of Itachi Arc:
Under the gloomy sky, there is a dark tide.

A group of ninjas wearing green vests moved quickly in the forest.

Xinzi hung on his mother's back, listening carefully to the movements around him.

Her mother was on a mission and she couldn't disturb her.

"Xinzi, I will put you down in front. Be careful and don't get hurt." Uchiha Minako said softly.

Usami Minako is the mother of Usami Shinko and the daughter of the Uchiha clan. After Usami Shinko's father died, she restored the Uchiha name and returned to the Uchiha clan with her daughter. Her daughter's name was also changed from Usami to Uchiha.

Ninjas with children need protection, and Uchiha Minako needs the protection of the Uchiha clan. Moreover, because the Uchiha clan is a large clan, when she got married, even Uchiha Minako, who was from a branch clan, was accepted as a son-in-law.

Xinzi was a posthumous child. Her father died outside the village before he even saw her - it was said that he failed in his mission and was killed.

Xinzi had no impression at all, she just knew that her mother missed her father very much.

My mother is a jonin, a jonin of the Uchiha clan, and a jonin who has already opened the Sharingan.

Although it is just a single magatama, it also represents the Uchiha clan.

Xinzi was very obedient. Knowing that his mother missed his father, he never made her angry.

"Yes."

Then, Uchiha Minako placed her heart at the edge of the forest. Beyond that was the battlefield.

The mission of Uchiha Minako and her group is to meet the leader of the Uchiha clan.

Xinzi hid behind a tree, holding a kunai, and was quite cautious.

The kunai was hidden behind her back, she couldn't let anyone know that she was a ninja.

On the battlefield, no matter whether they are adults or children, as long as they are ninjas, no one will take them lightly. As long as they are not from their own country, they are enemies.

Xinzi once saw an Uchiha child trying to save a ninja from the Land of Earth, but the ninja wanted to kill him. However, the child was very calm and killed him.

Xinzi didn’t know how to describe the feeling at that time, she just felt that war... was really terrible!

Xinzi was born on the battlefield. When she was born, her mother was planning to return to Konoha.

Uchiha Minako and Usami Yayoi met outside, and they didn't even have a formal wedding. They were ninjas stationed at the border together. Pregnant women don't have to do missions.

However, due to the death of Usami Yayoi, Uchiha Minako was unable to return to Konoha.

After Koko was born, Uchiha Minako's mood improved a little, but she did not take the initiative to return to Konoha. She stayed in the border for three years, as if to reminisce. Until the outbreak of the Kanna-kun War last year, Konoha urgently needed ninjas to do missions, so Uchiha Minako, as a senior ninja, once again carried out a mission.

The Third Ninja World War was brutal.

People die around me every day, and my heart has no time to become innocent. It grows up in blood and fire.

"Little girl." A crisp voice came from behind Xinzi.

Xinzi turned around hurriedly, holding the kunai and was about to stab, but saw the forehead protector on the other person's head - Konoha.

He put away his kunai and looked at her suspiciously: "Who are you?"

Long silver-white hair, two different-colored pupils, a short blue cheongsam, a delicate face, a gentle smile, for a moment, it seemed as if I saw the winter sunshine.

"Who is Usami Yayoi to you?" She squatted down and looked at Xinzi, "You look a lot like him."

Xinzi didn't dare to answer because she was not sure whether this person was from Konoha. It was not impossible for someone to use the transformation jutsu on the battlefield.

"Yexue." A familiar voice came from behind him, and Xinzi turned around excitedly.

"Mother."

The one who came was Uchiha Minako.

Uchiha Minako glanced at Xinzi, her eyes falling on the woman opposite, "Xinzi, this is Aunt Yexue."

"She is indeed your daughter." Fengjian Yexue stood up and looked at Uchiha Minako apologetically: "Sorry..."

"It's been so long." Uchiha Minako shook her head, "Besides, it has nothing to do with you. I know what happened to Yayoi."

Xinzi blinked. Are they talking about father?

"She was so young, and you took her to the battlefield?" Feng Jian Ye Xue's eyes fell on Xin Zi, "She should be four years old, right?"

"Yeah." Uchiha Minako nodded and walked over.

Behind Uchiha Minako, in addition to the ninjas who had gone before, there were a few more, whom Kokoro didn't recognize.

But when I turned around and looked carefully at Fengjian Yexue, I saw that there was a child following behind Fengjian Yexue.

Seeing Xinzi's eyes on the child, Fengjian Yexue moved aside and smiled: "This is Itachi. Xinzi didn't return to Konoha, so she probably doesn't know him, right?"

The round little face had no expression, short black hair, and dark eyes staring at Xinzi.

Xinzi felt that it looked familiar.

Itachi? What a strange name.

"Uchiha Itachi, the clan leader's son." Uchiha Minako added.

The clan leader’s...son?
Uchiha?
He is a direct descendant of the Uchiha family.

He grabbed Uchiha Minako's sleeve nervously and looked at the child opposite.

"Itachi." A cold voice came from behind his mother, and Xinzi turned around.

He was a man full of majesty. He looked at Uchiha Itachi with a gentle look in his eyes.

"Clan leader." Uchiha Minako made way.

Fengjian Yexue looked at Uchiha Fugaku, "Where's Mikoto?"

"She's back."

Xinzi looked at this group of jonin. What they said was something she didn't know.

All she knew was that she met the head of the Uchiha clan, met other members of the Uchiha clan, and met the person who treated her best other than her mother.

Her mother entrusted her to Fengjian Yexue, apparently because the war had reached its most critical moment and the clarion call of victory had been sounded.

Fengjian Yexue carried Xinzi on his left and Itachi on his right, and very gently pulled them away from the battlefield.

The child named Itachi is a cold child and he doesn't like to talk.

"Itachi, Xinzi is in the same year as you. You are about the same age, but why do I feel like you are not as tall as her?" Fengjian Yexue looked at the two children beside him curiously, expressing his doubts.

Xinzi was also confused, looking at Itachi, it seemed to be the case, Itachi was half a head shorter than herself. "Is Konoha very poor? Is he malnourished?"

Xinzi heard her mother say that only when you are full can you grow taller. Didn't Itachi eat enough? Didn't he grow up in Konoha?
Fengjian Yexue's mouth twitched, and she looked at them with some amusement, "Are you trying to say that Mikoto treated Itachi harshly?"

"Mikoto?" Xinzi heard the name again, but she didn't recognize it.

"My mother." Itachi spoke for the first time. "My mother was very kind to me and never treated me harshly."

With such a serious explanation, Fengjian Yexue would doubt that Mikoto was actually being too harsh on him, right?
