Naruto: First Love

Chapter 289 Iron Jade
"Hehe... Itachi, you didn't hear anything just now, right?" With a dry laugh, Xinzi blushed and looked at him hopefully.

Itachi blinked and turned his head. The hair tied behind his head moved slightly. Fortunately, the bun prevented Kokoro from seeing his expression. Only the slightly red tips of his ears revealed his aggrieved mood.

Seeing that Itachi didn't say anything, Xinzi was stunned. What was he doing?
"I heard that."

I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly I heard Itachi's soft whisper.

Xinzi's face suddenly became hot. Did he really hear it? What would he think? Ahhh, so shy!
"I like you too, just like Sasuke..."

The first sentence made Xinzi ecstatic and unbelievable, but the second sentence made her hot face suddenly turn cold and her complexion began to turn pale.

What? So he thinks she is the same as Sasuke!
He pouted and quickened his pace, as if he had been wronged.

But then again, how can an eight-year-old child know what love is? What kind of love is it?
Walking so fast, Xinzi didn't hear Itachi's whispered addition from behind, "You are special too..."

"Ah, Xinzi, look, this is the new weapon I bought. How about it? Doesn't it look good?" Tianma was sometimes very attentive to Xinzi, and even Itachi could see that Tianma had some ulterior motive.

Xinzi took a look at the shuriken in his hand that looked exactly like the other weapons and twitched his lips. What was so good about it? Aren't they all the same?

As if he could see her disdain, Tianma took out a kunai with small circles from his knife bag and said, "How about this one?"

"Where did you string so many small circles together? When you put the circles on, the kunai will make a sound and others will know where your kunai is going to fly over. How can you attack?" Xinzi held his forehead with his hand and said, Tianma, are you an idiot?

"Ah..." Tianma froze for a moment, as if he had just remembered this important question, and said with a sad face, "These little circles were all peeled off from other weapons by me. They are quite precious..."

"They look pretty nice. I didn't expect you to have such a hobby." He took the kunai from her hand and looked at those small circles, only to find that although those circles looked ordinary, they actually contained a special power.

"It's Tieyu." Qingfeng on the shoulder said in a low voice, also a little surprised.

"What is iron jade?" Xinzi asked in a low voice.

"A type of jade formed by minerals. It has both good and bad effects on the human body. However, the Uchiha clan probably needs something like this." Qingfeng replied in a low voice, "Yexue once studied it with Orochimaru, but Orochimaru didn't figure it out, but Yexue did. Moreover, Yexue also gave you the iron jade, but it was in the shape of a bead. I don't know if you found it."

Bead shape? It seems that there was one before, is it iron jade? "Is it useful?"

"You should come over here, iron jade is hard to find." Qingfeng stared at the kunai in Tianma's hand, and was a little surprised that such an ordinary boy had an iron jade in his hand.

"But that's Gastrodia's stuff." Xinzi hesitated. Even if it was useful to the Uchiha clan, she would feel embarrassed to take Gastrodia's stuff.

"Tsk, he's completely useless in that kid's hands, and the iron jade will corrode him, it's just harmful and useless." Qingfeng was a little disappointed, "If you don't speak, I will call him."

"Xinzi, what's wrong with you?"

Because the caravan was moving forward, Tianma was walking in front, Itachi was walking behind, she was walking in the middle, and Mizunotsuki was of course leading the way. Tianma was holding the kunai and didn't know what to do. He wanted to listen to Xinzi's opinion, but found that Xinzi didn't answer. He turned around and saw that Xinzi seemed to be talking to someone?

Seeing that no one else seemed to have the intention to talk to Xinzi, who was Xinzi talking to? Suddenly, Tianma was horrified.

"Tian Ma, give me the kunai in your hand." After thinking about it, Tian Ma is a teammate after all, and it's just a kunai, so it doesn't matter, right? We are all so familiar with each other...

Although Tianma was puzzled, he still threw the kunai to her, "Oh, you want it? Take it." Then he showed a lewd smile, "Xinzi, you are not in love with me, and you want to take the token of love?"

Xinzi paused as he took the kunai, then suddenly snatched the kunai and stabbed it towards Tianma.

Tianma quickly dodged, terrified, "Ah, Xinzi, what are you doing?"

"I told you not to talk nonsense!" Xin Zi raised a fist towards him fiercely, "Be careful or I'll beat you up!"

Tianma curled her lips, so cruel, Xinzi...

He took all the iron jade off and threw the kunai over, "Tian Ma, I'll return your kunai!"

Tianma took it with doubt, and when he saw that the iron jade was gone, he suddenly realized, "So Xinzi, you like those circles! It's a pity that those circles are gone. I searched through all the weapons in the house before I found them..."

"Gastrodia, this is not called a circle, this is called iron jade." Xinzi felt a headache listening to Gastrodia making a circle after another.

"What iron jade?" Tianma asked with his eyes wide open, puzzled.

Even Itachi behind them looked at them in confusion, waiting for her explanation.

"Iron jade is a kind of jade formed by minerals. It can enhance spiritual bloodline, but it can also erode the consciousness of people without spiritual bloodline. Generally speaking, this thing is not suitable for you." Xinzi explained seriously, but in fact he was just repeating what he heard from Qingfeng.

"Spiritual bloodline? Illusion? Uchiha clan?" Tianma's first impression was that it was indeed the bloodline of the Uchiha clan. He was quite open-minded, "I didn't expect that it was what Xinzi needed. I accidentally did a good thing."

"Tsk, it should be said that she saved your life. If you continue to carry this thing with you, you will become useless sooner or later." Qingfeng snorted coldly, his voice was relatively small and lazy.

Qingfeng has rarely spoken in front of his teammates, but they all know that he is a ninja cat. He can understand it with cat ears, but without them, he probably can't understand the cat's language, right?

But I didn’t expect that this cat could speak human language. Tianma looked at it with interest.

Qingfeng sneered and ignored Tianma.

Tianma was a little disappointed when Qingfeng ignored him, and continued the previous topic: "Well, I have to thank Xinzi for saving my life."

Xinzi shook her head and divided the iron jade into two parts, handing one to Itachi who was listening to them quietly in the back, "Here, this is for you."

Itachi was a little confused, but accepted it anyway.

"Hey, hey, hey, that's my thing, why are you giving it to him?" When Tianma saw this scene, he immediately howled in dissatisfaction.

"Tianma, you are thirteen years old. Why do you care so much? Itachi is still young, and he is the genius of the Uchiha family. Isn't this thing very suitable for him?" Putting the iron jade in her pocket instead of the blade bag, Xinzi said with a smile.
