Encounter (2)

The light of the space - time tunnel had just turned off, Kaya immediately found herself falling from the air down to a vast forest.

Kaya was very depressed.

Could she just open her eyes and find herself standing on the ground?

If it was always falling from the air like this, surely there would be some day she fell flat on her face!

Thud!

The sound of her landing was lighter than imagined.

Kaya landed to the ground, both of her feet touching the ground firmly. This was the result of her quick reflexes, coordinating both arms and legs to grasp the branches to reduce the acceleration, otherwise she might have really fallen flat on her face now.

Kaya slowly removed the suit which was specially made from artificial silk for space - time travelers, revealing the long, light purple hair and the comfortable black outfit.

She looked around, finding herself was surrounded in the green of trees.

Where... was this?

She pressed a few on the smartwatch on her wrist, immediately a virtual screen appeared, showing a map.

Kaya moved the map with her fingers, finally caught a small green dot - representing for the living - outside the forest, a few hundred meters away from her.

In addition, there was no sign of any other living person.

Kaya followed the directions of the map, and about ten minutes later, she came out of the forest. She looked around, seeing a little boy standing nearby. No doubt, this was the green dot.

The boy stood with his back to Kaya, seemingly watching something. Based on height, he was probably only about five or six years old.

Kaya came closer, intending to ask something. But when the distance between them became shorter and shorter, she suddenly discovered -

The place where the boy was standing, taking a few more steps was the abyss!!!

Then when Kaya had not spoken anything... The boy suddenly dropped himself into the abyss!

Kaya: "..."

What the hell was this?

Why could she meet a person wanting to commit suicide right after landed?

Wait – Looks like his back...

The idea just briefly flashed in her mind, Kaya did not hesitate to follow the boy!

Seeing the boy's back clearer, Kaya's eyes slightly narrowed.

As expected... The Uchiha crest!

"Hey hey..." Kaya called out loudly.

The boy was closing his eyes. When hearing Kaya's voice, he immediately opened his eyes .

A flash of panic flashed on the childish face, then as fast as lightning, he pulled out a set of kunai from his body, then...

Threw towards Kaya.

Kaya suddenly faced with a series of kunai: "..."

How the hell that he attacked her?

She was even planning to save him!!!

After throwing the kunai towards Kaya, the boy continued to pull out two other kunai, then pinned into the cliff to reduce the acceleration of falling, not forgetting to shout to Kaya: "Don't move!"

Kaya: "..."

For the third time since coming to this world, Kaya was speechless again.

Did not care about the boy's situation any more, Kaya quickly rolled herself to dodge the kunai, grabbed two of them, imitating the boy to pinning the cliff to reduce the acceleration of falling.

Hmph! Don't move? Why the hell she had to follow his words?

The boy was doing a series of deceleration acts while observing Kaya's movement. Some kind of astonishment appeared in his eyes.

Such fast reflexes! And amazing movements!

Finally, when the two landed safely together at the bottom of the abyss, there were four new disconnected tracks appeared on the cliffs caused by the four kunai.

Kaya twirled two kunai in her hands, staring at the boy.

Just now it looked like this kid really wanted to kill himself, but soon she had witnessed a spectacular self-life-saving. For an eighteen-year-old person who had gone through more than ten years of specialized training like her, it was normal to fall down the cliff without dying. However, it was completely different with a five to six years old kid like him. And he did manage the situation excellently.

Who was this Uchiha genius after all?

While Kaya observed the boy, the boy also observed her.

But perhaps Kaya's eyes were too unfriendly, the boy hesitated for a moment and then started the conversation:

"Sorry... I didn't intend to attack you."

"So what did you intend to do?" Kaya asked straightforwardly.

"I..." The confused expression filled the childish face.

"Use the kunai to pin me on the cliff?" Kaya did not give face to him, coming straight to the point. She pointed her finger to the middle of the cliff, asked: "Then how would you save me when I was halfway up the cliff like that?"

The expression on the little boy's face became more confused, his face was even slightly turned pink. Several times he wanted to explain something, but ended up choosing silence, looking down on the ground.

At this moment, Kaya suddenly brought two kunai in front of the boy. The boy raised his head, only to see a calm face of the girl.

"Your stuffs. Don't wanna take it back?"

The boy reached out his hand to take the two kunai, put it in his tool bag.

"... Thank you. And, sorry, I almost hurt you."

"No problem," replied Kaya comfortably, "Because you wanted to save me, I would not take it personally."

Kaya retracted her hand, observing the terrain of the abyss bottom. There was a river near the place they were standing, across the river was a vast forest of trees.

Suddenly behind her sounded the voice of the boy: "Why you know that I was going to... pin you there but not kill you?"

Kaya turned, the corners of her mouth lifted slightly, her eyes narrowed: "There's one thing called..." She deliberately stretched the sound for the boy to be curious, then finished with only one word: "Experience."

The little boy was surpised for some seconds.

Perhaps the boy expression was so cute, Kaya felt a little more comfortable than usual. She smiled and explained: "Just practice a lot and experience several fights, then you will know."

"By the way, little boy, where is this place? Do you know how to get out of this place?"

The boy nodded, his recent hesitant appearance disappeared. He said: "This is the forest in the north of Konoha. There is a way up, but it's a little difficult to walk."

Kaya quickly asked, "Would you mind taking me out of here?"

The boy tilted his head and asked, "Who are you? You come from another village? I have never met you."

The last sentence was the affirmative sentence, giving Kaya no way to escape.

Kaya: "..."

Damn it! Just now the situation was so urgent that she forgot to disguise!

But she only froze for about two seconds, then calmly nodded: "Yes, I'm from elsewhere, just traveling here for a few days and then I will go."

"Travel?"

Kaya nodded, pointing to the backpack behind her, lied without blinking: "Um, I'm a wandering traveller, like to go and visit the beautiful places in nations."

"What's your name?"

"Kaya." Kaya replied instinctively.

But remembering the habit of introducing full name of the people in this world, afraid that the boy thought she intentionally concealed identity, Kaya immediately added, "Mochizuki Kaya. And you?"

"Mochizuki, Mochizuki..." The boy muttered, then smiled at Kaya:

"Itachi. My name is Uchiha Itachi."
