Chapter 42

"The exercise will last two days and one night. Your destination is far from you. After arriving at the location indicated on the map, there will be scrolls of intelligence that each of you needs."

"The group that returns the intelligence scroll within the specified time will be deemed to have passed."

Uchiha Yun in the audience watched as Itachi in front of him walked up to take the card while the girl named Inari made an encouraging gesture to him.

Is the connection getting deeper?

Probably, in such a team, if there is no accident, he should not have an exacerbation of the disease.

"Brother, who is this girl with two ponytails?"

Yun turned his head to look at Izumi and teased, "She must be Itachi's teammate, isn't your reaction a little extreme?"

At this moment, Itachi returned, taking the scroll, and said indifferently: "Come on, I will teach you some knowledge that can be used further, and it should come in handy, of course, if you want to listen to me."

After saying this, he took the lead and walked out.

Tokuma, standing behind Yun, poked him: "This guy became our captain, so how does it feel? How do you feel?"

Yun turned around and smiled angrily, "Tokuma, you mean you want to graduate early too? Clean the drain every day, catch cats and look for dogs?

Tokuma sighed, spread his hands and asked in response: "In any case, sooner or later you will have to do this after you graduate and become a ninja, and your arrogant look will not be useful during battles."

These words made Yun think for a moment, then he patted Tokuma on the shoulder and said, "Yes, your idea is very good. If everyone is like you, the world will last forever."

"What are you doing there? Let's go to!"

Izumi's scream came from afar.

After Tokuma smiled, he replied in a low voice, "Sometimes our fate is sealed, if you can't resist, try to enjoy it, right?"

They walked out side by side and Yun looked at his bandana-covered forehead.

"Such things... are a kind of protection for the weak, but slavery for the strong. If you can become strong to a certain extent, Tokuma, it will be nothing more than a cage."

Yun's words made Tokuma stop, but he did not wait for him.

Is he strong enough?

How much strength does it take to ignore such things? And how is this possible?

...

"The angle between the twelve o'clock direction and the hour hand is divided in half, and the direction of this line bisecting the angle is determined, and then the clock is aligned so that this direction points to the sun. Then the twelve o'clock direction most likely points south."

"In the wild there is a lot of food, but also a lot of poison..."

...

Along the way, Itachi explained the basic knowledge he knew, and Izumi next to him constantly applauded.

As for Yun and Tokuma, although they didn't applaud, they remembered what they didn't know or wrote it down.

I must say, in terms of such knowledge, Itachi Uchiha is an excellent ninja.

All the basic knowledge was taught casually, even Yun, who used a shadow clone to attend lectures, was amazed.

Soon the first night of this training arrived. They set up a tent, ate something and began to rest.

After Tokuma and Izumi fell asleep, Itachi, who was sitting and resting, opened his eyes and looked at Yun, then made a gesture to him and left the tent.

...

"Is there something wrong?"

"Danzo has asked me to monitor the movements of the Uchiha clan starting today."

Yun frowned slightly, this old dog can't stand it anymore?

In his memory there must still be more than four years before the genocide. The Fourth Hokage is still alive, what does he want to do?

Not seeing an answer for a long time, Itachi looked at Yun and asked, "Do you and Shisui have any plans lately?"

Yun looked at Itachi, smiled and asked, "Are you a double agent? Or would you like to join us?"

Although he was asked, Itachi on the opposite side did not answer for a long time.

Join?

"You must understand very clearly the process of opening your sharingan. The Uchiha clan is very dangerous. And Uchiha Shisui has a sharingan that is even higher than yours, as a person who has already experienced such pain once, can you believe in his sanity?"

What Danzo said earlier rang in Itachi's ears again.

But what Shisui and Yun said earlier about their intention to make the Uchiha clan join Konoha again resonated in Itachi's heart.

Family and village, and... a father who died for the village.

At that time, the father who died helping the Fourth Hokage also wanted to allow the Uchiha clan to merge into Konoha again, right?

Then…

Shisui, who also helped the Fourth Hokage along with his father at that time, deserves to be trusted!

"I want to be with you".

Yun was surprised and, after thinking for a while, shook his head and said: "Your strength is not enough to participate in this matter, although you are indeed a genius who graduated from the ninja school in one year, but this level of genius is not enough."

Not enough?

Itachi raised his head slightly, his sharingan instantly opened, and the three tomoe in his pupils slowly rotated.

"This power... isn't it enough?"

Yun looked into Itachi's eyes with slight concentration. Is this a sharingan with three tomoe?

It seems that the connection has not been strengthened enough, and the loss of love has not yet occurred. They must have encountered danger while establishing teamwork, but they had not yet met Obito.

Obito?

It's hard to say if the current Itachi will be able to face Obito who will kill his teammates, that guy should probably be crying somewhere right now.

"Three tomoe... you're growing up fast. But... Itachi, your strength is still not enough. Whether it's me or Shisui, your three tomoe won't let you even live to see a second attack in the face of real power."

After Yun's words were spoken, Itachi, on the opposite side, indifferently took out a kunai and placed it in front of his chest.

"Although I have always admitted that you are better than me, even if you have not yet discovered the sharingan. But this does not mean that I am not even able to withstand a single blow from you. If I'm wrong, then prove it to me!"

Itachi said this, and the grip of the kunai in his hand tightened even more, and the three tomoe in his pupils spun wildly. For some time his insight and dynamic vision were pushed to the limit.

But... that's all.

The next moment, Yun suddenly threw a kunai.

*Whoosh!*

The kunai hit a tree and Itachi dodged it, after which he began to prepare for his counterattack, but it never happened.

Because at that moment, there was a kunai blade on his neck, and the person holding it was Yun, who was standing behind him at that moment.

Fast! Too fast!

In the blink of an eye, Yun had seemingly predicted all of his evasion directions in advance.

Whether it's a clone or a shadow clone, they're all interrupted by a kunai on their neck before they're even created.

"Do you still think I'm wrong about something?"

Yun slowly lowered the kunai, and the Mangekyō spinning in his eye sockets turned into normal eyes.

Itachi turned around with a gloomy face: "The gap is already that big?"
