Chapter 9: The Two Root Ninjas

"Thank you for helping Inari."

But what Sasuke didn't expect was that Tsunami stood up holding the crying Inari and bowed deeply to Sasuke.

This made Sasuke take an extra look at Tsunami and found that she indeed had nothing but gratitude on her face.

This made Sasuke a little surprised. He had originally thought that Tsunami would blame him for causing Inari to fall down.

After all, many mothers would subconsciously ignore the fact that he prevented Inari from hitting the wall and instead see Inari being pushed down by himself.

"No need to be polite. If there is nothing else, I will leave. "

Sasuke shook his head politely, but still intended to leave.

Although Sasuke had a good feeling for this reasonable and mature woman, but he is still on the run, and while he occasionally wants to relax, he also does not want to interact with ordinary people.

After all, it would be a problem if his identity was exposed.

Not to mention the fact that most of the root members are cold-blooded creatures, and may implicate others just because he talked to them.

"Are you in a hurry? Originally, I was going to invite you to our home. After all, father would have thanked you for your help. "

Tsunami sighed regretfully, "Why don't you thank Uncle for saving you, Inari? Your little head would have been smashed if it hadn't been for Uncle. "

Tsunami suddenly touched Inari's head, and then the little kid stopped howling.

"Thank you ..."

The kid said thankfully to Sasuke, but it was apparent that he was just subconsciously obeying his mother's command.

However, this surprised Sasuke once more.

After all, in his memory, the future Inari, was very stubborn.

"Perhaps the future Inari was inspired by his own stepfather, who was regarded as a hero. He felt powerless after the tragic but meaningless death of his step-father. He tried to escape from reality by becoming a stubborn child. "

Sasuke added, "At least now it seems that Inari is very ignorant, but the tutor is very good."

"Then, let's say goodbye. Madam, and the little guy. I hope the next time I see you again, you won't be crying like that. "

Sasuke walked up to Inari and stroked his head, then Sasuke bade goodbye to Tsunami.

Then he quickly turned and left.

If there was a chance, he wouldn't mind taking Gatō out ahead of time so that the Inari's family and the land of waves could avoid the tragedy that would occur in the future.

"Thank you for your help."

Looking at Sasuke's departing back, Tsunami hugged Inari and bowed slightly.

Only the little guy, Inari, still looked ignorant.

He was, after all, only three or four years old, and even though children in the Shinobi world were more mature, he was still too young.

......... ...

"Is this guy really Sasuke Uchiha?"

"What a powerful transformation technique; if it hadn't been for the tracking secret technique that revealed his identity, I would never have guessed that this ordinary looking adult man was the last orphan of the Uchiha clan who was only at the age of seven."

The Eagle-Masked Anbu and the Flame Masked Anbu stood in a corner of the town of Land of Waves, watching Sasuke's departing figure, the Flame Masked Anbu, said in awe.

At this moment, the two of them have all taken off their masks, or they may have used the transformation technique to change their appearance.

The bird-like creature was flying in the sky and had locked onto Sasuke's figure.

Apparently, the two had discovered Sasuke's presence at some point, but just never revealed themselves to Sasuke.

"Perhaps it was Sasuke Uchiha who killed the Wolf by himself, or perhaps he even opened 'those eyes.'"

"After all, the man who destroyed the Uchiha clan had the strength of no less than an ordinary shinobi at this age. If Uchiha Sasuke has also opened "those eyes' then perhaps he really can kill the Wolf by himself. "

Eagle Masked Anbu's eyes were deep, Sasuke's almost perfect transformation technique made Eagle Masked Anbu pick up his guesses again.

"How is this even possible? How could there be another Uchiha Itachi?! You know, Itachi Uchiha did not open 'those eyes' at this age either!"

Flame Masked Anbu was a bit unconvinced, or he was unwilling to believe.

When he was a member of the Root, he had fought with his former captain and teammate, Itachi Uchiha, and Shisui Uchiha.

At that time, he was four or five years older than Itachi Uchiha, but he was defeated by him in a playful manner.

In his mind, Itachi Uchiha and Shisui Uchiha, had even surpassed Kakashi Hatake, the Legend of Konoha!

Especially Itachi Uchiha, the man who personally defeated him!

"But Sasuke Uchiha, is that 'guy's' younger brother. The eyes of the Uchiha clan are the eyes of the soul. But if it was under the stimulation of the night of the genocide, Sasuke Uchiha might be able to open 'those eyes' ."

The eagle-masked anbu suddenly said slyly, causing the flame-masked anbu to blush.

"It would be great if Sasuke Uchiha killed Wolf alone. This means that we can capture or kill Uchiha Sasuke without having to wait for the arrival of Danzo-sama's assistance. "

After a long time, the tone of the Flame Masked Anbu suddenly changed and became a little more aggressive.

"It's might not be true that Sasuke Uchiha has opened 'those eyes'. Everything is just a guess by you and me. "

Eagle Masked Anbu shook his head and said.

"Captain! Even an elite jonin like Hatake Kakashi would be defeated in a fight if you and I were together. Right now, we don't find any other ninja presence around Sasuke Uchiha. What can an Uchiha kid do, even if he opens 'those eyes'."

"It might just be one or two tomoe! Why should the credit be given to others?"

"If Sasuke Uchiha can be arrested back, Danzo-sama will definitely give us a high reward.

Otherwise, if we wait for help, we will discover that the enemy is nothing more than a brat like Uchiha Sasuke. And when Danzo-sama knows that only one child will render you and I helpless, he might be disappointed in us or even punish us. "

Because he thought Uchiha Sasuke was comparable to Itachi Uchiha, a ninja-like flame-masked anbu trained by the root, became more aggressive as a whole.

Itachi Uchihai is also his obsession in some ways. Even as Itachi's younger brother, the former Sasuke was not taken seriously by the flame-masked Anbu.

They now assume that Sasuke's level of existence is equivalent to Itachi Uchiha's, but for a time, it triggered the dark side of the flame-masked anbu, who wish to wreak revenge on Itachi Uchiha.

If I can't beat you, I'll beat your little brother first.
