Chapter 53 Itachi, Teacher is in Danger
Chapter 53 Itachi, Teacher is in Danger
"Orochimaru's team has just been formed, so doing some E-rank missions first is more suitable for your current situation."
"These are all E-level missions. You can choose some to carry out."
As Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke, he glanced at Uchiha Ha and Anko, who looked tense and ready to fight, standing next to Orochimaru.
Uchiha Ye followed their example, picking up a document from the table and reading it: "Go to the Land of Snow to gather intelligence!"
"??????"
What kind of task is this? There are only these few words, and the rest are all question marks.
She was more than happy to leave Konoha, regardless of the mission!
"Orochimaru-sensei, I recommend that you take on this mission."
Uchiha Yo handed over the documents in his hand.
Orochimaru glanced at her, took the document, and his lips twitched involuntarily. "Are you sure? The Third Hokage probably won't agree."
"Why? Didn't you say you could pick any one you wanted?"
"Third Hokage, you won't go back on your word, will you!" Uchiha Ye turned around and accused him.
"Hmm? Let me take a look!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi took the document from Orochimaru and noticed that an S-rank document was missing from the D-rank mission.
"I've never seen this kid so careless before!"
He pinched the bridge of his nose before speaking, "This is an S-rank mission, it's too early for you!"
"I think this mission is good. The situation is a bit urgent, so let's set off tomorrow."
"What mission?" Anko pushed Uchiha Ye aside, stepped forward, took the document from the Third Hokage's hand, glanced at it, and said disdainfully, "What? Do we need to do something like planting rice seedlings?"
"We have to go that far?" she immediately complained. "Third Generation Lord, we want a more challenging mission."
Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly said seriously, "This is an order."
Hongdou pursed her lips and said nothing more.
"Haha, you got what you deserved!" Uchiha Ye said gloatingly.
"Heh... at least it's better than some people who are all talk and no action, wanting to do an S-rank mission right away!" Red Bean retorted directly.
"So what if it's an S-rank mission? The Third Hokage dared to give it to me, I can complete it all by myself." Uchiha Ye boasted without batting an eye.
The two left the Hokage's office arguing and bickering, completely ignoring the people around them.
Hiruzen Sarutobi stood with his hands behind his back, looking out the window at the four-person team, lost in thought.
"Orochimaru, I hope they can change your mind..."
It was still early, so Orochimaru led the three of them to a training ground in Konoha.
Uchiha Ye looked at Orochimaru's back and rubbed his chin. "Orochimaru is her teacher now and hasn't left Konoha yet. Maybe we can learn some ninjutsu from him."
With that thought, Uchiha Ye's eyes lit up, and he naturally walked to Orochimaru's side. "Orochimaru-sensei, are you going to teach us ninjutsu?"
Orochimaru turned his head to look at Uchiha Yoru, "No."
"I mainly want to see your current strength."
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Ye instantly lost his composure. "Ah...it's not going to be about stealing the bell, is it?!"
“That’s right.” Orochimaru gave her a strange look and nodded.
"This damned bell, can't it be a little more original?" Uchiha Ye forced himself to cheer up.
Seeing Anko hanging from the tree, she came over and started mocking her, "Anko-nee, you seem to be a Chunin already, how come you fell into such an obvious trap? Did you cheat your way to Chunin?"
"Uchiha Yo..." Anko couldn't take such a provocation. She shouted angrily and broke free from the ropes binding her.
Upon seeing this, Uchiha Ye immediately distanced himself from Anko.
Suddenly, there was a commotion behind him. He darted over to Hongdou, pulled her close, and hid behind a tree.
With a 'bang', a crater appeared where she had been standing.
"That was close! Luckily I reacted quickly!"
"Next time, you should ridicule someone when it's safe to do so." Uchiha Ye glanced at the large crater before turning to Anko and saying, "Let's work together!"
Hongdou glanced at her and nodded.
Immediately, each of them launched a sneak attack from a different direction towards Orochimaru's location.
At this moment, Orochimaru was exchanging blows with Itachi Uchiha.
Sure enough, when the three of them worked together, the situation was much better than before.
Orochimaru seemed determined not to give them any leeway. After a long time, the three of them still couldn't get the bell and ended up hanging upside down from the tree.
Uchiha Ye guessed that Orochimaru wanted to force them to reveal their true strength, but she wouldn't let him have his way. The strength she had shown was already quite good, enough for her.
Orochimaru glanced at the three people in the tree. "That's all for today. Meet at the entrance of Konoha Village tomorrow. Dismissed."
"Teacher, it's still early. We have a mission tomorrow. Could you teach me a ninjutsu before we leave?" Uchiha Ye, still clinging to the tree, asked, trying to get some more information.
Orochimaru wondered to himself why Uchiha Yo was so obsessed with learning ninjutsu, and then asked, "What kind of ninjutsu do you want to learn?"
"Orochimaru-sensei, I want to learn the 'Escape Technique'!" Uchiha Ye replied without hesitation.
Orochimaru paused for a moment, then asked, "Why?"
"Teacher, this is what I think: if we encounter something we can't beat during a mission, the first thing we should do is run away."
As soon as she finished speaking, Anko couldn't help but lecture her, "Uchiha Ye, have you forgotten what you learned at the Ninja Academy? Ninjas must be prepared to sacrifice themselves at any time for a mission."
"I have studied it, but that doesn't mean I agree with this view. After all, how can the mission be completed if the person dies?" Uchiha Ye retorted, looking at Anko.
Upon hearing this, Hongdou pointed at Uchiha Yoru and said, "You...you're just making excuses."
"I don't care whether you listen to me or not, as long as I think it makes sense."
"Huh... Where did Orochimaru-sensei go?"
Uchiha Ye suddenly felt bored, freed himself from the tree, turned around and left, not forgetting to take Itachi with him before leaving.
"You just left like that? Didn't you see I was still in the tree?" Hongdou shouted hurriedly.
Suddenly, a kunai shot towards her, and the next second, the rope binding her snapped.
Falling to the ground, Anko grabbed the ropes binding her, stood up, and shouted at a figure that had already walked away, "Uchiha Yoru, you just wait."
"Ye, you seem quite different today," Itachi Uchiha said, turning his head to look at the person beside him.
"Really... I don't feel anything."
"By the way, I have something very important to tell you. You must listen carefully."
Uchiha Ye suddenly remembered something, and his expression turned serious.
"What is it?" Itachi stared intently at Uchiha Ha, waiting for her to speak.
"Our instructor is very dangerous, so you must be extra careful and it's best to keep your abilities hidden."
"Don't ask why, just listen to me."
Uchiha Ha guessed that Itachi would definitely ask why, so he spoke first.
Itachi hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Okay, I'll listen to you."
He suddenly remembered something and continued, "Oh, right, Ye."
"Although the place where we're going to carry out the mission is within the Land of Fire, we have to leave Konoha Village, so we need to buy some things."
As Itachi spoke, his face became unusually serious, and he then took out a handwritten list of the items he wanted to buy.
"Itachi, this mission is so simple, we don't need to buy so much stuff!"
"I think it's better to bring more money."
"If we finish early, we might be able to play for a few more days."
When it came to playing, Uchiha Ye's eyes lit up instantly. She had been in this game for almost two years, and she was either training or on her way to training, so she still hadn't played it.
"Ye, we need to be prepared." Itachi knew exactly what Ye was thinking, and looked helpless.
"Okay, okay."
"Then let's go shopping quickly and grab a bite to eat while we're at it."
After saying that, he ran towards the ninja tool shop, and Itachi Uchiha quickly chased after him.
