"I haven't been back for a whole year, I really miss you!"

At the west gate of Konoha Village, a young Uchiha man with a round nose and short hair raised his hands in the air as if "praising the sun" and let out a loud sigh, successfully attracting the attention of two special jounin beside the gate.

"Is this voice... Uchiha's Shunshen Shisui?"

Steel Tie, with a bandage on his nose, poked his head out of the registration desk, "It's really him."

During the third war, the three of them had formed a temporary team to go on missions, and Shisui had a very good personality, so their relationship was pretty good.

"Oh, Zite, Izumo!"

Uchiha Shisui's eyes met theirs, and he immediately stopped being lively and waved friendly.

But for some reason, the two people who always teased Shisui for not being very Uchiha-like in the past just looked at each other and smiled this time.

Gang Zitie stepped forward and patted Zhisui on the shoulder enthusiastically.

"We have heard about what happened in the Kingdom of Water this time."

Kamizuki Izumo added: "You are worthy of being able to repel Orochimaru and the Kirigakure ninjas. But it would be better if we caught that guy. He would dare to do such a thing as spying on Naruto. We can't even think of it."

I dare not think about it."

Apparently, three years ago, after carefully searching for the root cause but failing to find any evidence related to White Zetsu, the Hokage identified the suspect as Orochimaru, who was in charge of the Wood Release research back then.

While the two were praising, they looked behind Shisui at Itachi, who had a tuft of white hair on his forehead.

Compared with a year ago, Uchiha Itachi's eyes were less profound, and he looked more like a normal fourteen-year-old boy. He greeted the two of them politely.

"Obviously you are on such a troublesome mission...but after not seeing each other for a year, why do you two feel younger?"

"Places with a humid climate are kinder to people's skin. Besides, I have a baby face."

Shisui waved his hand with a smile, "Anyway, I can't wait to go have a local meal in Konoha, so I won't do any detailed registration this time. The group of Mist ninjas who want to join Konoha are here

The convoy at the back is guarded by five other Jonin. But you don't have to do anything, the ANBU directly under the Hokage will handle it later, the two of us are just taking the first step."

"Convoy?" Gang Ziti looked curiously at the road, "How many people did you kidnap this time?"

"What's a crutch?"

Zhisui corrected him righteously: "With Zheng Ce in Kirigakure now, anyone who fails a mission will be executed. They all surrendered voluntarily when they had no way out. However, most of these people are little-known characters. It is estimated that the village also

It’s hard to get any important news from them, and even fewer can actually join Konoha.”

"That's it..."

Kamizuki Izumo's expression became more relaxed, "When I think that guys from the 'Blood Mist' might become our partners, I feel a little numb in my spine, and I can't trust them at all."

"That will all happen later. The village will also strictly screen these people."

Uchiha Shisui paused and then asked: "How is it? Has anything happened in the village recently?"

Yiyong did write him a letter, but in his description, time in the entire world seemed to have stood still. Instead, he wrote a bunch of things about how he had made a few friends, but none of them could reflect the situation in the village.

.

After listening to Zhisui's question, Shenyue Izumo and Gang Zite looked at each other in tacit understanding as before, with the corners of their mouths slightly raised, as if they had thought of something fun.

"We won't tell you this. You can understand by yourself when you go to the village and take a look."

Feeling the meaningful gazes between the two of them, Shisui was a little stunned.

But he could probably tell from the expressions of the two of them that even if something happened, it would definitely not be a bad thing.

"Mysterious. Itachi, let's go. I'll treat you to barbecue another day."

"Goodbye, two seniors."

In this way, Itachi followed Shisui back to the village where he had been away for a year.

Since leaving Konoha, a place of right and wrong that destroyed his trust, three years ago, Itachi has been performing reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance work around the Kingdom of Water - sometimes driving away the mist that landed on the border of the Kingdom of Yu.

Shinobu, sometimes collects intelligence in the land of water.

When the opponent is the ruthless Kirigakure ninja, this kind of job is extremely dangerous for anyone.

However, the Byakugan and Sharingan had natural advantages in dealing with the heavy fog in the Land of Water, which made Itachi feel very relaxed.

Before being attacked by Orochimaru this time, it would be more appropriate to say that he was on vacation rather than working.

"I came back a little early, it's only noon now."

On the main road of Konoha, the baby-faced Shisui put his hands behind his head, but his eyes were looking around carefully.

"If you wait outside the ninja school in the afternoon, Sasuke and Giyuu should be very surprised."

"Who knows?"

Itachi glanced aside, but his tone was a little unpleasant, "Last time I came back, Sasuke was not willing to train with me, and Giyuu hung out with you all day again."

"Why do you still remember this?"

Shisui couldn't laugh or cry, "Sasuke has made an appointment with someone else. Besides, you should be happy that he has such a good friend. Besides, Giyuu, every time I come back, he will come to me to practice breaking genjutsu... one second after another.

It can be lifted before it is too late, but he is happy to train over and over again. As soon as I see him, my eyes become sleepy."

At this point, he paused and said, "Please help me coax him this time. Just say that because of you, I fought against one of the legendary Sannin. My eyes are very heavy and I can no longer train with him."

There was a hint of gloom on Itachi's face, obviously thinking of something unhappy.

"I suggest you just don't show up in front of him. Besides, who can deceive him now?"

"Ah, didn't Aunt Mikoto confiscate the book?" Shisui asked in surprise.

"He has memorized it all, so what's the use of confiscating it."

Itachi found the location of the snack shop, walked over with Shisui, ordered five meatballs and sat down.

"My mother has always said that if she has the opportunity to go to the Kingdom of Earth in the future, she will have a good talk with the author of that book."

Shisui made a scared expression.

At this time, the harsh sound of wheels broke into the two of them, and Shisui and Itachi looked away at the same time.

A middle-aged man was hard at work pushing a crooked wooden cart with sacks piled high on top. Both the cart carrying the goods and the person pushing the cart were already overwhelmed.

Itachi looked carefully and saw that the wooden wheel had cracks, and it would break after just a few more turns.

"Tsk, it seems I have to go and help."

But just as Zhisui stood up, there was a loud clicking sound from the wheels, and the cart full of goods fell to the side amidst the exclamations of the middle-aged man. When he saw that the goods were about to pile up on the street, a man wearing a guard uniform

The figure in the reserve uniform suddenly fell from the roof, raising his hand to support the half that was about to fall.

Shisui and Itachi were both stunned, and their eyes touched each other. Obviously, they did not expect that people from the security team would actually help the civilians of Konoha.

Judging from his height, the reserve member was only twelve or thirteen years old, which was the age when most Uchiha clan members were at their most arrogant and arrogant. Even ordinary ninjas looked down upon them, let alone civilians who lacked strength.

"Good weight!"

The guard member suppressed his blush and shouted to the back: "Come quickly and help!"

"Got it!" A sound of footsteps came from far away, and two more reserve team members jumped out from the roof, both of the same age.

One of them looked at the situation and separated into two strong earth clones to share the weight of the cart.

"Where are these goods sent?"

The reserve team member who had discovered the clone asked the person pushing the cart.

"Man, Man Diantang Ninja Tool Shop."

The middle-aged man wiped the sweat from his head, his eyes full of joy.

The leading reserve team member frowned, "Such a long distance, using such a broken car?"

Zhisui noticed that although the boy had a questioning tone, there was no familiar arrogance in his eyes.

"Sorry, sorry, I won't do it next time."

The middle-aged man nodded and bowed, "I'll make a new car when I get back!"

"Even a new car is not allowed to haul so much cargo!"

The boy shouted loudly: "This time, the two earth clones will help you push things over. But next time something like this happens, the car and goods will be confiscated, and you will also have to pay a fine. Do you understand?"

"Yes, yes, yes, absolutely, absolutely will not do it again."

"I hope so." The reserve team member hummed, and then called to the other two people, "Let's go."

The three of them disappeared at the corner of the street, while the two remaining clones carried the car and walked out of the street under the guidance of the middle-aged man.

A strange silence remained between Uchiha Shisui and Itachi, not even noticing that the meatballs on the table were cold.

Abnormal! So abnormal!

It seems to make sense if only one Uchiha is warm-hearted and can put down his own arrogance.

But the other two helped him without hesitation! This shows that this situation is probably not unique.

"I finally understand."

After a long while, Zhishui let out a long breath, "No wonder Gang Ziti and Shenyue Izumo had the same expressions before."
