Naruto: First Love

Chapter 373 Extra: Shisui
When Shisui was ten years old, he first met Kokoro on the battlefield.

At that time, Xinzi was standing among a pile of corpses, holding a kunai, looking for her mother everywhere.

Shisui was on his way to meet Itachi at that time, so he didn't think about whether it was an enemy or one of our children. He just sighed that this was war, where people lost their homes and even children had to go to the battlefield.

After finding Itachi and returning, he realized that Shinko was actually also from the Uchiha family, but she did not grow up in the Uchiha clan and was an outsider.

Shinko's father's original surname was Usami. After the Third Ninja World War, he took Shinko back to the Uchiha family.

Shisui was busy with training and didn't see Shinko much after that.

I really got to know Shinko after she entered the Ninja Academy and she skipped classes with Itachi. I saw her in the woods where he and Itachi often trained.

Xinzi is completely different from other female ninjas. She has perfectly inherited the blood of the Uchiha family. There is great power in her eyes.

After hearing Itachi say that Koko's mother died in the Nine-Tails incident, Shisui had no doubt that Koko would activate her Sharingan in response to this blow.

Koko and Itachi graduated together, but their identities were different at that time.

Shinko is obviously the same age and has the same surname as Itachi, but in Shinko's ninja registration information, her name is Usami Shinko, and she has restored her father's surname. She is 9 years old, two years older than Itachi.

After they became official ninjas, they became even harder to see.

In addition, Shinko lived alone outside and practiced with Itachi, and Shisui himself was busy completing missions, so it was difficult for him to see Shinko once a year.

In the busy tasks, Shisui gradually forgot about Kokoro.

It was not until Itachi was brought back by Mizunotsuki, covered in blood and unconscious, that he realized that something had happened to Itachi's team.

Itachi, who was 8 years old, opened his Sharingan, which was news in the Uchiha clan.

Itachi's popularity is growing in the clan.

However, Shisui knew that Itachi was not happy.

He was sad, his teammate was dead, and he would rather not have those eyes that were filled with hatred and fear.

Once again, Shisui heard the name Kokoro from Itachi.

He was well aware that Itachi had deep feelings for his two teammates.

That's why that night, when Itachi met the masked girl on the streets of Konoha, his mood fluctuated so much.

Itachi obviously recognized her.

Shisui didn't think there was anything special about Kokoro. He was probably just like many other ninjas, with their own stories and following the iron rules of ninja.

However, Xinzi is different. Xinzi has no future. Before leaving the Uchiha family, she tried to survive so as not to die when Itachi exterminated the clan. After her mother died, she left the Uchiha and restored the name of Usami, but also to survive and become a ninja, to inherit her mother's last wish, for Fengjian Yexue.

After becoming a Genin, she did not become a tool of Konoha, but only regarded the missions as a way to get money and to survive.

After escaping death, she could only live with a mask on and even had to forget who she was. Shisui felt that she could not escape her fate in the end and lost to it.

However, in reality, after Shinko came back, she became a special ninja, qualified to be a ninja, and teamed up with the Chunins, but she was no longer a regular ninja.

After she and Anko disappeared on the mission, Shisui heard Itachi mention it, and Itachi seemed to regret that he couldn't go find her because of the mission.

But Shisui thought that it was probably fate. During the mission, he actually saw her being dragged away covered in blood! So she disappeared and was kidnapped?

Shisui thought that he should be a very rational person. After all, he was a ninja. The man with the heart was obviously very powerful, and he was not his opponent, so he should not take action.

But he took action, and then was indeed drugged and passed out. He had no recollection of how he was spared. He was just curious that someone would save them.

Thinking back on it, Shisui felt that he had never been more stupid, so after returning, he never mentioned the encounter with Kokoro.

Of course, no one was interested except Itachi and Kokoro.

The person he couldn't talk to was naturally Itachi.

In fact, Xinzi just wanted to know how she came back, but Shisui never told her, so she had no way of knowing, and later she simply forgot about it.

Itachi was obviously concerned about Kokoro, Shisui didn't say anything, and although Itachi was unhappy, he didn't say anything.

Shisui has always believed in Itachi and believed that Itachi would change everything. His relationship with Itachi is the closest.

So for that mission, when the elder gave him the order and allowed him to choose someone, his first choice was Itachi.

Although he had a hunch that someone from the Anbu would follow him, Shisui didn't expect that the person following him would be Kokoro, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Xinzi's tracking skills are poor, at least in his opinion, full of loopholes.

Shisui guessed that since Shinko had only been in the Anbu for a short time, the Anbu would not be willing to let her follow them alone, so there would be at least one other person following them.

Because neither he nor Itachi noticed the other person who was following them, which showed that he was quite powerful, so they pretended not to have noticed Xinzi and discussed countermeasures.

Shisui himself is a jonin. If it was Kokoro and another person, if they were separated, the other person would definitely chase after Shisui, who is a jonin, and Itachi could complete the mission.

If there are two other people besides Xinzi, we can only act according to circumstances.

Fortunately, they guessed correctly, Itachi completed the task and returned very happy.

Shisui didn't know why Itachi was so happy. In his impression, Itachi wouldn't be too happy if he completed a more advanced task.

However, Itachi had no intention of telling him.

On the way back, he met Izumi. Izumi was in the Uchiha clan and had a close relationship with Itachi. At least many people knew that they had a close relationship. After all, Itachi, as a genius, seldom paid attention to other members of the clan.

Shisui could also see that Izumi actually liked Itachi, and he even teased Itachi about this.

But he was not the casual type, and it was clear that Itachi was not the type who could not distinguish between the primary and the secondary.

He had always thought that Itachi at most had some fondness for Kokoro, but he never imagined that Itachi would like him that much.

When Xinzi proposed to learn the technique of instant body movement, Itachi just looked at him unhappily but did not express much.

Later, he finally began to teach Xinzi the art of instant body movement, and the closer he got to her, the more he felt that Xinzi was an excellent ninja.

It was not until later, when he joined the Anbu and had contact with Kokoro on a mission, that he realized that Kokoro was actually a very lonely person. She tried hard to live, and devoted more of her energy to studying ninjutsu, especially medical ninjutsu.

When Shisui heard Kokoro mention the Sharingan, he sometimes secretly hoped that Kokoro was actually worried about him instead of Itachi.

But Koko and Itachi's relationship always went further.
