Chapter 33 Quan's Depression

Uchiha training ground.

“Knock knock knock!!!”

Shuriken and kunai flew out of the wind and hit the bull's eye accurately.

Uchiha Izumi had a grim expression on his face. He crossed his hands, and eight kunai appeared on his two hands. He raised his hands again.

All hits!

Such skills are rarely seen in the hands of Genin.

However, there was no joy on her face, she just repeated the exercises in her hands.

"Izumi, stop." A familiar voice came. Uchiha Izumi turned around and saw Uchiha Itachi stopped at the edge of the training ground.

"You have been practicing for two hours. If you continue, your hands will not be able to support you."

"I know my own body well." Uchiha Izumi replied and continued throwing.

"Quan, I heard that you just completed a B-level mission. You are the first team to complete a B-level mission. I haven't congratulated you yet."

"Heh, would the great Uchiha Itachi care about the mission of a Genin?" Uchiha Izumi choked coldly.

Uchiha Itachi was a little confused.

After a moment, I had a guess in my mind.

[Perhaps, Quan was upset because I ignored her. ]

[But it's normal. Quan is just an ordinary girl after all. ]

Ever since he joined the Anbu, the heavy workload and the pressure from the village and family have made him lose his former friendly aura and become even more aloof.

Most of the remaining tenderness and patience were given to Sasuke.

So he didn't think there was anything wrong with Uchiha Izumi's sudden change in attitude.

For him, being able to come over and care about his 'girlfriend' had already used up all his patience.

He has no mood for romance now.

"You continue to practice and take care of yourself. I'm leaving first. Lord Hokage still has a mission." He said and was about to leave. As for the angry Uchiha Izumi, she would adjust herself.

What should I do if my girlfriend is unhappy?

Just let her calm down.

As a Sigma man in the ninja world, Uchiha Itachi thought this was reasonable.

The growth of his younger brother Sasuke, the instructions from his father Uchiha Fugaku, the unbearable clansmen, the mission of the Hokage, and the tense relationship between the village and the family that is stretched to the limit.

These things tested his capacity.

As for girls, they did not occupy any position.

"Wait!" Uchiha Izumi called him.

Uchiha Itachi thought that the other party knew he was wrong, or wanted to say a few more words to him.

Uchiha Izumi said: "You are very familiar with Suzumiya Musashi, right?"

Uchiha Itachi was very surprised.

The green figure appeared in my mind.

Ever since he blackmailed the shadow clone here, they met less and less frequently, and even after he graduated, they met very rarely.

Although that guy was still familiar and enthusiastic every time they met, he was very uncomfortable.

Moreover, in recent years, whenever the two of them met him, the other party would always put his arm around his shoulders with excessive enthusiasm, and sometimes talk about the Will of Fire, sometimes talk about daimyo politics, the history of the development of the ninja world, and so on.

strange.

He thought about it.

"well enough."

For relationships other than relatives like Sasuke and Shisui, this evaluation is already the highest.

"Then what kind of person do you think he is?"

Few people would ask him this question.

However, the other party was Izumi, so Uchiha Itachi still thought about it.

Although the other party always wears ugly green tights and acts "youthful" and "cultivating" all day long, I know the unknown side of the other party.

He would slack off on the battlefield and threaten me in private to ask for the "Shadow Clone Technique".

"An ordinary ninja with some clever tricks." He concluded. "Izumi, why are you asking about him suddenly?"

"Nothing. Forget it." Uchiha Izumi lost interest and continued his practice.

Uchiha Itachi didn't understand, but it didn't matter.

"Then I'm leaving, Quan."

Time to go back and see Sasuke.

“Knock knock knock!!!”

The kunai was nailed hard into the target, as if it was nailed into someone's body.

There was resentment in Uchiha Izumi's eyes.

[That guy, doesn't even know Itachi? 】

[When did you master such a powerful technique? ]

[I actually said he was the last one. ]

[Damn it! You must be laughing at me in your heart! ]

The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became. When she had used up all the ninja tools in her hands, she formed seals with her hands.

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

The fierce flames burned the target to ashes.

Uchiha Izumi sat on the ground, but he didn't feel relieved at all.

After the battle against the Iwagakure jonin, Suzumiya Musashi asked her to help keep the matter secret, using the excuse that "I saved you".

The reason is that if you don't attract attention, you can do fewer tasks and have more time for cultivation.

And let her forget what happened.

Can't forget it at all.

As soon as I stop, what happened that day will repeat in my mind.

Even when I am dreaming, the scene at that time will appear in my mind.

Strong and violent chakra!

Cracked earth!

There are also punches and kicks that flash with lightning and cannot be blocked even by powerful ninjutsu!

How can it be? !

Invincible physical skills!

A powerful ninja who suffocated the unrivaled Iwagakure jonin to death underground.

How could it be a guy like Musashi!

Memories from before come to mind.

A dark little beggar in front of the Ichiraku Ramen restaurant.

In the entrance class, the green-clothed classmate smiled and said, "I am Itachi's good brother."

"My name is Suzumiya Musashi, and I like to practice the cultivation of youth..."

"Teacher, can I just admit defeat?"

"Even if Itachi really ignores you, if it really doesn't work... I can be with you. Brother Kai once told me that a young boy..."

I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out at all.

It's okay that Itachi is a monster.

How could that guy in green tights, who always had poor grades in school, be so strong!

How shameful it was to call him the last one.

I feel so powerless. How can I catch up with such a guy?

Under the shade of the tree, an Uchiha girl began to feel lost in the cold reality...

An office in the upper echelons of Konoha.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo, Mito Kado En, and Utane Koharu sat together.

Everyone's face looked a little gloomy.

Sarutobi Hiruzen smoked his pipe fiercely, filling the office with smoke.

After a while, Utane Koharu spoke up: "Recently, the atmosphere among the Uchiha has become increasingly tense."

"Many ninja clans are saying that the Uchiha police department is becoming more and more strict in their duties."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and said, "Yes, a representative of the Ninja Clan has come to me to complain. He said that the power of the Police Department has been abused, and that the Uchiha's treatment of the villagers was too bad."

Mitomon Yan's eyes were cold: "What are they doing! Are they using this method to express their dissatisfaction with the village?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "Ever since the Nine-Tails Rebellion, the Uchiha area has been placed on the outskirts of the village, and they have been dissatisfied with the village. Over the past few years, the dissatisfaction has not dissipated, but has become more and more unbearable as time goes by. We must think of a way to alleviate the current situation."

Danzo said coldly: "Huruzen, the Uchiha must tighten restrictions!"

"A few years ago, the Nine-Tails was controlled by the Sharingan. The Uchiha has not been cleared of suspicion in this matter!"

"The power of the Uchiha must be strictly controlled and not allowed to be relaxed."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "No. If this happens, the conflict between the family and the village will become more and more serious."

Danzo said, "Huruzen, you are too hesitant!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a moment and suggested, "Or, let the Uchiha take on more tasks in the village."

“It’s been too long to keep it out of the village core.”

While Utane Koharu and Mitokado En were still considering it, Danzo had already loudly objected.

"no!"

"Hiruzen, you are too weak!"

"It's the Uchiha who are becoming more and more hostile to the village, and the ninja are complaining about them, so why are they trying to increase the power of the Uchiha in return?"

"I think we must strengthen the control over the Uchiha clan and monitor their every move. The Uchiha clan is too dangerous. They now pose a serious threat to the village."

Utatane Koharu thought Danzo was too pessimistic: "Things haven't developed to that point yet, have they? Danzo, no matter what, it's still too much to fully monitor the entire village. Why don't you consider Hiruzen's proposal?"

"Send positive signals to the Uchiha and see if we can ease the tense relationship."

Danzo still insisted on his attitude: "I object. The evil power of the Uchiha cannot be left unchecked!"

"Alright, alright." Mitomon Yan said, "Things haven't gotten out of control yet, let's wait a bit."

In the end, they still couldn't decide on the final strategy for dealing with the Uchiha clan.

Danzo walked out of the office with a gloomy look on his face, without even looking back.

In his heart, he became more and more disappointed with those people.

[Hiruzen, and Koharu, you are all too weak. ]

[How can the village get better and better in the hands of people like you? ]

[Unfortunately, I am not the Hokage. ]

[Otherwise, how could Uchiha develop to the level it is today. 】

When they reached a deserted place, Danzo suddenly stopped.

"It seems that your own strength is always the most reliable."
