Naruto: First Love

Chapter 2 Konoha
"What kind of place is Konoha?" Xinzi has always longed for his hometown.

The surrounding ninjas all yearn for Konoha.

Fengjian Yexue was heading towards Konoha with her two children.

"You'll see it soon."

Yes, very soon.

However, before arriving at Konoha, they met a man, a gentle man with golden hair and blue eyes. Next to him, there was a young ninja with white hair and a mask that almost covered his entire face, and a beautiful girl.

"Minato, Kakashi, Rin." Fengjian Yexue greeted with a smile, "Where's Kai?"

"He and Genma teamed up with a child from the Akimichi family." The ninja named Minato had an imperceptible melancholy in his eyes, and his gaze at Ye Xue was twinkling with stars.

"Teacher Yexue." The other two looked at Yexue and greeted her.

"Yes, this is Itachi, and this is Xinzi." Ye Xue also introduced the two, then looked at Xinzi and the other boy, pointing at the boy opposite, "This is Kakashi, Hatake Kakashi, and this is Nohara Rin."

Xinzi was a little confused and looked at Yexue, but still greeted her obediently.

Itachi is a very cold person, but not as cold as Kakashi.

Itachi would respond to her, but without much expression, sometimes even confused. But the one called Kakashi never spoke unless the three took the initiative to talk to him.

At night, Xinzi slept with Yexue.

Ye Xue also explained to her why Kakashi was so cold.

Kakashi Hatake is from the famous Hatake family of Konoha. His father, Sakumo Hatake, is an outstanding ninja. However, during a mission, he gave up the mission in order to save his companions, causing heavy losses to Konoha.

After that, the people of Konoha blamed the losses on Hatake Sakumo, believing that Hatake Sakumo should focus on the mission.

Hatake Sakumo couldn't stand everyone's accusations and committed suicide.

Kakashi witnessed his father's death, and then became a cold-blooded ninja who only cared about the mission. He didn't care if his companions were injured, if their companions prevented the completion of the mission, and he would even kill their companions.

Kakashi Hatake is a genius. He graduated from the Ninja School at the age of 5, became a Chunin at the age of 6, and was promoted to Jonin last year.

Namikaze Minato - the man with golden hair, known as the Golden Flash in the ninja world, became Kakashi's teacher.

It was last year that Kakashi's companion Uchiha Obito told Kakashi: A ninja who cannot complete the mission is a waste, and a person who does not cherish his companions is even worse than waste.

In order to save Kakashi, Uchiha Obito was buried under many rocks and gave his Sharingan to Kakashi, hoping that Kakashi could use that eye to see the future clearly.

"Does this make Kakashi so cold? He doesn't act like a boy at all..."

"I'm still worried about Rin. What happened to Obito couldn't be avoided, but I don't know if what happened to Rin can be avoided..." Ye Xue's eyes were confused. She stared at the endless darkness outside the window and murmured softly.

I don’t understand in my heart, and I don’t know how to understand.

Just roughly speaking, Kakashi was a very pitiful ninja.

There are people even more pitiful than her. Not only does he have no father, he also has no mother. He has become an orphan.

So after that, Koko felt a sense of sympathy with Kakashi, and immediately became unhappy to see Itachi, who had parents.

A four-year-old child is very naive. If he likes something, he likes it; if he doesn’t like something, he doesn’t like it. He never hides it.

Xinzi no longer took the initiative to talk to Itachi, and Itachi was not a proactive person either, so the two of them almost stopped talking, which made Yexue worried.

So, finding an opportunity, Ye Xue told Xinzi another story.

"There was a genius from the Uchiha family. He had a brilliant mind but hated war. He went to the battlefield to kill people when he was four years old. He felt that life was meaningless, and he was always fighting and losing. Then, he had a younger brother. Seeing his younger brother's birth, he was very happy and no longer felt that life was meaningless. Instead, he began to protect life and peace."

A genius from the Uchiha family, going to the battlefield to kill people at the age of four? Just like her, but she went to the battlefield but never killed anyone.

"He entered the ninja school at the age of 6 and graduated at the age of 7. He formed a three-person team of Genin, but in the second year, his companion was killed in front of him, and he opened the Sharingan. He is a genius of the Uchiha clan and is good friends with another genius. The genius taught him the rules of ninja, and then at the age of 10, he took the Chunin exam alone and became a Chunin. He joined the Anbu at the age of 11. Half a year later, his best friend died. He died at the hands of a high-ranking ninja hidden in the dark in Konoha, just because the Uchiha clan wanted to rebel. He loved his younger brother very much, but the Uchiha clan was not peaceful, and he had no time to practice, chat, and play with his younger brother. He was in the Anbu and Konoha.
He was a spy for the Uchiha clan and also a spy for the Uchiha clan... Then, at the age of 13, in order to protect his beloved younger brother, he accepted the order of the Konoha high-ranking official who had killed his best friend, killed the Uchiha clan, defected from Konoha, and went into exile. His younger brother hated him just as he expected, and died at his younger brother's hands many years later, completing his younger brother's eternal Mangekyō Sharingan..."

Xinzi was fascinated by what she heard. She felt that this man was a great person who was willing to sacrifice himself for his brother.

"So, Xinzi, you must be gentler and nicer to Itachi in the future. Even if you cannot change Itachi's fate, don't make yourself sad." Ye Xue said to Xinzi.

Koko didn't understand, "Why? Does Itachi's fate have anything to do with me? What destiny does he have?"

You were clearly telling a story just a moment ago, how come the topic suddenly got to that cold-hearted boy?

Ye Xue: "..."

She was too impatient, Xinzi was just a child, not that smart, and didn't know that she was talking about the story of Uchiha Itachi, so she just regarded the story as a story, not a fact.

"Anyway, treat him well."

In the end, Ye Xue could only give such a blunt order.

……

After traveling for several days, we finally arrived in Konoha.

Konoha is indeed a beautiful place, with green mountains, clear waters and a vibrant life. Xinzi, who is used to seeing the desolate border war areas, was amazed for a moment.

The three rock statues are said to be the successive Hokage of Konoha.

Konoha was very lively. Even though there was a war going on, there were no signs of war. People were coming and going.

For the first time, Xinzi felt that Konoha was truly a peaceful and warm place.

……

Ye Xue brought her and Itachi back to the Uchiha clan territory, where Xinzi saw everyone wearing clothes with the Uchiha clan emblem.

They greeted each other warmly, unlike at the border, where one would worry that anyone greeting someone might be a spy.

It was also here that Kokoro met Uchiha Mikoto, Itachi's mother and the wife of the head of the Uchiha clan.

She is a gentle woman who reminds Xinzi of his mother.

Ye Xue entrusted her to Uchiha Mikoto, and she lived in Itachi's house until her mother returned.
