In the core area of ​​the Kingdom of Fire, outside a grain shop, a group of clerks were loading goods on a carriage, and boxes of mixed grains and vegetables were loaded in the carriage behind the carriage.

Opposite the grain shop, a boy squatted on the stone steps, smiling silly on the surface, thinking in his heart.

It took such a long time to ship the goods, which is enough for Itachi to think about something clearly.

The task requirement this time is to escort this local boss to the Kingdom of Wa, and the task level was rated as C.

Theoretically, C-level ninja tasks are generally taken by the Shinin.

In theory, C-level tasks generally do not include combat situations.

In other words, this is an escort mission like a mountain and spring outing.

But Itachi knew very well that if he really thought so, his ninja journey would have to stop here.

This C-level escort mission seems to be extremely normal on the surface, and the probability of someone robbing the food transported is not high.

The employer is a poor boss, with little money and the probability of being assassinated is small.

Moreover, the employer, who claims to be a local boss, is particularly kind and talkative.

It seems that for a new ninja, it is a very Nineth-like task to take the object.

But it is obvious that Mao Yue Xiyan will choose this task for the second time, which has shown that there is some problem with this task.

"Two Ninjas!

The goods have been shipped, so let's go out right away. I hope to have a wonderful night in the Kingdom of Waves."

The Tu Boss in the distance compared his hand to a trumpet-shaped voice and shouted to Maoyue Xiyan and Itachi opposite him.

At some point, the goods on the three carriages had been packed, and the Tu Boss sat next to the driver of one of the carriages and was about to set off.

Hearing the call of the boss Tu, Mao Yue Xiyan reacted first, and tapped her toes and took a leap, then appeared on the top of another carriage.

Then Mao Yue Xiyan said loudly, "Then let's go immediately, I will escort your own safety."

That's right, the C-level task that Mao Yue Xiyan received this time only stated that she wanted to escort the employer himself and would not guarantee the employer's goods.

In other words, in a crisis situation, the hired ninja will run away with the employer, and the ninja will not be responsible for the loss of the employer's goods.

Of course, the ninja world is now in a peaceful stage, and the people of the five major countries live and work in peace, and the possibility of grabbing food in the territory of Fire is still very low.

The local boss also understands this, so he is satisfied with publishing a C-level task.

Even if there were only two Shinin who set out with him, he had no objection and was still smiling.

When Itachi also jumped onto the carriage together, the entire caravan began to set off.

.....

After passing through the bustling area of ​​the Kingdom of Fire, the caravan also began to pass through the mountain path.

This mountain road between the mountains is the only way to the east exit of the Kingdom of Fire, which is narrow and dangerous.

On this path that appears at the intersection of the mountains on both sides, a beam of sunlight can barely shine in, so it is also called "First Line of Sky" by the locals.

However, such a spectacular view made the Weasel, who was sitting cross-legged in the carriage, realize something was wrong.

This terrain is too steep.

He looked around and found that there were mountains on both sides, with only a small path directly in front of him.

The road surface is so narrow that it can only accommodate three carriages, so such a steep road can be said to be the best place for bandits to set up ambush.

Itachi immediately became alert, lay on his bodyguard on his carriage, looking to the top of the mountain on both sides.

There is nothing.

Itachi did not immediately put down his vigilance, but looked at Maoyue Xiyan, whose reaction also verified his conjecture.

Mao Yue Xiyan squatted on the carriage, with rich chakra flowing under her fair skin, her eyes shining brightly, and she looked around.

This prepared movement and posture clearly informs Itachi of the dangers at this time, and also indirectly explains another point.

That is this emergency, not arranged by Mao Yue Xiyan.

But she would arrange this task, obviously she already knew that there would be a special period at this time. The purpose was to find out his strength or see how he dealt with in emergencies.

This is not the inevitable death situation arranged by Mao Yue Xiyan, it should be just a test.

Otherwise, if the difficulty is too high, even if she herself cannot escape, the result will obviously not meet the arrangements of Konoha's senior management.

As the captain of the Dark Team in the future, Yuiya Maoyue will definitely be trusted by Konoha's senior management.

According to the original plot comparison analysis, Itachi boldly speculated that Maoyue Xiyan should have the strength of Zhongnin at this time.

Since she can ensure her safety, it means that the difficulty of this crisis is still under the difficulty of Zhongren.

When I thought of this, Itachi was relieved.

If it is just a crisis below the lower ninth level, it should be no big problem with his current chakra.

The key is that he cannot follow the scripts of Konoha's senior executives.

Among the ninja students, he won the first place in the simulation exam, and his information must have appeared on the desk of Konoha's senior executives.

That's why there was this test of Mao Yue Xiyan.

There is no sign of rebellion in the Uchiha clan, so the Konoha senior management should still focus on testing, but these operations will inevitably interrupt Itachi's cultivation progress.

Besides, his current childlike body is not suitable for direct combat, and he should still focus on being greedy.

But these frequent tests made him very upset.

He began to long for stronger powers that would allow him to break free from this cage and no longer be monitored by Konoha's top leaders everywhere.

He wanted to revitalize the glory of the Uchiha clan and make Uchiha a real strong clan, standing proudly at the top of the ninja world.

Thinking of all this, a flame ignited in Itachi's heart. He knew that a deeper desire appeared in his heart.

Originally, he was just to complete the mission of the Lord God, from this moment onwards, he began to be responsible for his destiny in this world.

He had enough surveillance and oppression, and he wanted to show the glory of Uchiha in a dignified manner.

The sunlight of the "line of the sky" shone through the narrow cracks on the boy's face, highlighting a firm and tender face.

The extremely inconsistent maturity was shown on the boy's face, and this scene was not discovered by Mao Yue Xiyan.

Because the battle has begun...

"Table!"

At this time, Mao Yue Xiyan had already pulled out the ninja knife on her back and fought against the enemy who had been ambushing for a long time.

The sword lights and swords were clattering.

A figure flashed beside Itachi, and it appeared in the carriage.

He was wearing a black ninja suit, with a black cloth on his face and a black scarf on his head, but he did not have a ninja forehead protection.

Judging from his murderous look, Itachi didn't think that the other party had not become a Shinin, so he did not wear a forehead guard.

The answer can only be one, that is, the other party’s identity is shameless.

The visitor is not good.
