Naruto: First Love

Chapter 307 I can’t help myself
Itachi's eyes sparkled with amusement, "Your hiding is...poor."

Xinzi pouted, "Can't you be more tactful?"

"What is euphemism?" Itachi blinked, looking curious.

"..."

Xin Zimo, if Itachi's expression hadn't been so serious, she would have probably suspected Itachi had done it on purpose.

"What mission are you going to do?"

Koko knew that some missions couldn't be told, just like her mission, but looking at the expressions of Itachi and Shisui, that shouldn't be the case, right?

After all, Shisui is a jonin, and Itachi is a genin.

Itachi hesitated.

This moment of hesitation made Xinzi frown.

Is it really a task that cannot be discussed?

Seeing Xinzi frown, Itachi spoke immediately, "Just going to investigate about a certain Uchiha clan member leaving the border."

"Uchiha clan member?" Xinzi was confused.

Itachi nodded, "She's pretty much the same as you guys, she's a kunoichi, she got married but she didn't get the approval of the Uchiha clan, the clan sent Shisui to investigate the matter and bring her back to Konoha."

Xinzi was a little confused when he heard this, "This task isn't difficult, Shisui can complete it, right?"

"Yeah," Itachi responded, then added, "The man she married has connections to other countries."

Xinzi began to understand.

No wonder Itachi and Shisui were asked to monitor, it turns out the mission they were going to go on actually involved other countries?

"What identity?"

"He is the grandson of the Prime Minister of the Tea Country. His father is a tea merchant from Konoha. He often travels to various countries. He has been to the Water Country many times recently. The clan suspects that he has some connection with the Water Country."

After hearing Itachi's explanation, Xinzi immediately understood, "So that's how it is. Because his father has close ties with the Water Country, the clan suspects that he has a relationship with the Water Country, and Konoha also suspects it. But the people of Konoha don't know that the woman married that man without the consent of the Uchiha clan. Instead, they suspect that it was the Uchiha clan who instructed us to monitor you?"

Itachi looked at Xinzi in surprise, somewhat amazed that Xinzi could see so clearly.

Seeing Itachi's surprised look, Kokoro was a little amused, "What's wrong? Can't I be smarter?"

In fact, it was just because she had heard about the conflict between the Uchiha clan and Konoha from Teacher Ye Xue, and suddenly she received an order from the Anbu to monitor the son of the Uchiha clan leader, which made her inevitably suspect whether it was related to the conflict.

Itachi looked at the fruit peels scattered all over the floor, the smile in his eyes still there, but without much expression, "Well, you are indeed smart, just remember to bring food next time."

"..." With just one sentence, all of Xinzi's pride was instantly killed.

"Really? Who hasn't made a fool of themselves sometimes? Don't you know what kind of person I am?" Xinzi blushed and retorted stubbornly.

Well, he knows.

There are three people on the team, but there is actually only one person.

Tianma is carefree, yet arrogant and a very competitive person.

Xinzi has a gentle personality and does things casually, but sometimes she can be very cheerful and hot-tempered. Her temperament seems to change with her mood.

Whether these two are on a mission or going out, they always make some stupid mistakes and their fighting ability is average, so most of the time, Itachi is fighting alone, resulting in a situation where there is only one person in Mizunotsuki's class.

Xinzi actually felt a little guilty when she said this. She knew that Itachi was the only one who rarely did stupid things. Even Mizunotsuki would do stupid things, but Itachi would not.

Most of the time, in the Mizunotsuki class, Itachi is more like the team leader.

But it has been so long that I almost forgot about those things. When Xinzi brought it up, they both fell silent for a moment.

Gastrodia elata is no longer here.

After a long while, Xinzi finally spoke to break the silence, "Do whatever you want, don't worry about us. The other person who followed Shisui is Kakashi, and Kakashi is not the kind of person who likes to meddle in other people's business. Besides, he has a good relationship with Mr. Yexue, and Mr. Yexue has a good relationship with his teacher, the Fourth Hokage, Kushina, and your mother. He is in the Anbu now, and he has nothing, no worries..."

Itachi looked at Xinzi's nagging expression, and his face became rarely doting.

Of course Kakashi knew him, and he didn't meet him on the road when he came back, but they had met before. At that time, Uchiha Obito was also there.

But why would the people of Konoha send Kokoro and Kakashi to monitor them?

Not to mention that Kokoro is a member of the Uchiha clan, Kakashi himself also has a great connection with the Uchiha clan - his Sharingan was given by Uchiha Obito of the Uchiha clan!

It's weird no matter how you think about it that these two people who are related to the Uchiha clan are here to monitor the Uchiha people, right?
However, Itachi also understood Kakashi. Even if he had some personal feelings, it would not delay his mission.

There were once rumors that Kakashi was someone who could sacrifice his teammates for the sake of a mission. After entering the Anbu, he showed no mercy to his enemies and earned the reputation of a cold-blooded Kakashi.

A Kakashi like that wouldn't care about personal feelings when facing a mission, right?
But what kind of person is this Fengjian Yexue?
Itachi had deep doubts.

At that time, Fengjian Yexue often came to their house. When he was one or two years old, he knew Obito. Occasionally, Obito would take him out when his mother and Fengjian Yexue were talking, and that's how he got to know Kakashi, whom Obito always talked about.

Later, when he was three years old, Obito died and Itachi rarely saw him. Everyone went to the battlefield, but Kakashi and the Uchiha clan were on a different battlefield.

They met again later, when Fengjian Yexue brought him and Xinzi to see Kakashi and Nohara Lin when they came back. After that, they almost never saw each other again.

"Is it okay for you to tell me about the mission?"

Itachi changed the subject.

To be honest, the Anbu's system is much stricter than that of ordinary ninjas.

Even ordinary ninjas are not allowed to reveal mission secrets, let alone the Anbu.

Xinzi covered his mouth with his hand, carefully looked left and right, and then said mysteriously: "Teacher Yexue told me not to accept someone's brainwashing easily, not Anbu, nor Orochimaru!"

Itachi took her hand away with some reluctance, "You are not fit for ANBU."

Xinzi curled her lips, "You know it?"

"ANBU, special assassination tactics unit." Itachi took over and looked at Kokoro.

The disapproval in her eyes was very obvious. Xinzi knew that the Anbu was indeed not suitable for her. Somewhat helplessly, "With my identity, where else can I go except the Anbu?"

Shinko was a ninja of Konoha, from the Uchiha clan. But now, Uchiha Shinko no longer exists, Usami Shinko is dead, and Kazama Shinko does not belong to Konoha.

Although there were some reasons for joining the Anbu, Xinzi had no choice but to do so.

If she doesn't join the Anbu, where can she go? Konoha has no place for her for the time being.
