Chapter 111: I'm Sasuke, Come and Hit Me?
The letter from the Hidden Cloud Village was full of threats.
The Fourth Raikage, like some brain-dead fool, after being attacked by a Konoha rogue ninja and wretchedly fleeing back to the Land of Lightning, didn't reflect on his own shortcomings. Instead, he demanded that Konoha capture Orochimaru and then hand Orochimaru over to them as an apology.
If Konoha didn't do so, they wouldn't mind starting a war! Unable to even deal with a Konoha rogue ninja, yet they come to threaten Konoha. Who gave him the courage!
Of course, it was... Hiruzen Sarutobi who gave it.
The large and established Village Hidden in the Leaves was truly not as convenient for independent action as Orochimaru. They still had to worry about the pots and pans in the village being broken... Orochimaru was already used to starting from scratch.
But after Hiruzen Sarutobi suppressed Danzo's Root and Uchiha Shisui established a Sage Art cram school at the Naka Shrine... the interior of Konoha could barely be said to be united...
"Jiraiya, you will personally lead the Defense Department to the border of the Land of Rice Paddies and the border of the Land of Hot Water to conduct a collective combat mission drill!" Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Hizashi and the others behind him, "After arriving at the border outpost, Hizashi's squad, pay attention to one person..."
The old man took out the information summarized by the intelligence department and handed it to the leader, Hizashi Hyuga. It was filled with intelligence analysis on a woman.
"What's this!"
Jiraiya snatched it away, a wicked smile immediately appearing on his face, "Hehehe... Isn't it a bit inappropriate for these young people to carry out this kind of mission!"
"...Jiraiya! Be serious! From now on, you are the commander-in-chief of a ninja force! Don't be so perfunctory with me!"
Konoha Village Gate.
The grand departure of the Defense Department alerted many people in the village. Family members sending them off and ordinary villagers were all watching this sizable force leave Konoha.
"Is a war breaking out somewhere?"
"Don't worry, it's just a routine training mission!"
"Oh oh oh, that's a relief... Go for it, young men!"
Naturally, many from the Uchiha clan came. About half of their clan's ninjas had been transferred to the Defense Department, and the clan head's son was among them.
Uchiha Mikoto helped her son fix his hairstyle, naggingly instructing, "Itachi, when you're out, be respectful to your seniors and take good care of Kitahara..."
"Yes."
Uchiha Itachi and the shameless crow nodded seriously.
"Brother, when will you be back..." The little cub at home tugged at Itachi's clothes, his eyes brimming with tears, "Will you throw Kitahara away this time you go out? Like how we throw away the trash bag together in the morning?"
"Absolutely not!"
Uchiha Itachi shook his head with a bitter smile, desperately hugging the enraged crow... Why couldn't Sasuke and Kitahara just get along?
"Caw!"
You... you bastard! No wonder one morning, the little brat suddenly carried me out! At such a young age, to have such dirty thoughts!
The little cub, ignoring the crow's fierce appearance, wiped his own tears and said seriously, "I can already help Mom throw out the trash by myself now. When I grow up and can leave the village, I will definitely help Brother throw it away..."
"o(︶︿︶)o Alas..."
Uchiha Fugaku and Mikoto helplessly supported their foreheads. They were already used to it; this was just a small scene... a small scene...
The scene on the Hyuga clan's side was clearly more normal.
"Neji, you must respect Lord Hiashi, take good care of Lady Hinata, and be diligent in your daily taijutsu training... You must not waste... Understand?" Hizashi Hyuga rattled off a series of instructions like a family motto.
Hyuga Neji showed no displeasure, listened seriously to every word his father said, then nodded solemnly, "Yes."
"I will supervise his and Hinata's training." Hiashi Hyuga stroked Neji's smooth long hair and glanced at the chaotic scene of Uchiha Fugaku's family not far away, "When you're out on a mission, take appropriate care of that family's child!"
"Mm, Itachi is, after all, the youngest member of our squad..."
"Um, Uncle, you have to come home early! Brother Neji will be very worried about you..." The little girl beside Hiashi Hyuga stood on her tiptoes, trying to make her tiny voice heard by the tall and thin Hizashi.
Hyuga Neji's ears instantly turned red, "There's no such..."
Hiashi Hyuga looked at his daughter with displeasure, "The village's mission this time is very important. You can't let him be affected by minor family matters..."
"It's alright." Hizashi Hyuga rarely interrupted his elder brother. He first smiled and patted his son's head, then crouched down and looked seriously at the aggrieved Hinata, "I will finish the mission and come home as soon as possible, Lady Hinata."
"D... don't call me that..."
After Hizashi Hyuga's squad said their goodbyes to their friends and family, they assembled and joined the ranks of the Defense Department, finally leaving Konoha.
After they left.
Uchiha Fugaku's family and Hiashi Hyuga's family had a rare encounter... The two great clan heads smiled and exchanged veiled barbs, watching Hizashi's squad step out of the Konoha gate.
After seeing his father off, Hyuga Neji turned his head and stared intently at the little cub beside Mikoto, "You're Uchiha Itachi's younger brother... Uchiha Sasuke?"
The little cub hadn't yet recovered from his brother's departure. He subconsciously nodded, wiping his eyes, "Mm..."
"Crying like a baby when you're already a man... Hmph!" Neji glanced at Sasuke with disdain, "You're a disgrace to your brother!"
"Baka! What did you say!"
The little cub instantly flew into a rage, waving his little fists at Neji. Saying he was a disgrace to his brother had clearly touched a raw nerve.
"Tch! Sooner or later, I will defeat Uchiha Itachi!" The little Byakugan boy looked down on Sasuke with contempt. At four years old, he was clearly much taller than the three-year-old Sasuke.
"No one can defeat my brother!"
"I definitely can!"
The two little boys stared at each other, fire in their eyes!
Just then, a little girl timidly pulled Neji's arm and said in a small voice, "Brother Neji, don't fight..."
That... Sasuke looks so fierce!
Even fiercer than the bird on Uchiha Itachi's shoulder just now!
Hyuga Neji pushed Hinata to stand in front of Sasuke, "Lady Hinata, he is the opponent you will face in the future! You will definitely be able to defeat him easily!"
"Huh?" The bewildered little girl lowered her head, fiddling with the corner of her clothes, and said with no confidence, "He... Hello, my name is Hinata Hyuga."
"Hmm? Are you his younger sister?" Uchiha Sasuke frowned, feeling something wasn't right. He glanced at Neji, who was cheering the little girl on, "You're bound to lose! Your older brother looks like he can't compare to my older brother at all!"
The onlookers: "..."
What kind of genius logic is this!
The little cub raised his eyebrows, "He looks too weak... He can't even beat me, and he wants to challenge my brother?"
"Brother Neji is very strong!" Hinata raised her head, trying hard to raise her voice.
The little cub was unmoved, "Oh, you two look quite alike... You both look really annoying..."
Hinata Hyuga subconsciously ignored Sasuke's last sentence and answered in a small voice, "Brother Neji is my uncle's son. My uncle and my father look very much alike, so we also..."
"So he's not your real brother!" The little cub put his hands behind his head and whistled, "My brother and I have the same mom and dad!"
"Waaah o(TヘTo)..."
The little girl burst into tears…
Sasuke, truly living up to his name, had already firmly established animosity at such a young age…
A blonde little boy who had been seeing off his own elder, seeing this, couldn't stand it anymore. He waved his fists and rushed up to question him, "You bastard, why are you bullying a girl!"
"She just suddenly started crying..." Uchiha Sasuke, seeing the little boy's face clearly, his expression instantly became ferocious, "Naruto Uzumaki! My brother isn't here to be biased towards you today, watch me teach you a good lesson!"
"...What! It was clearly Big Brother Itachi who protected you last time!"
Because Uchiha Itachi had more free time during his leave, besides training his younger brother, he would occasionally take Sasuke to visit Jiraiya and Naruto. The original intention was for them to build a friendship, but the two little brats... instead developed a deep-seated hatred.
This matter could probably only be blamed on the crow... Like a certain great filial son of the ninja world, it fanned the flames between the two little brats, making them fight each other.
They haven't even grown all their feathers yet! Whether it was Naruto Uzumaki or that Uchiha Sasuke brat, whenever they saw Uchiha Itachi, they would want a hug or something... Any crow couldn't stand that!
The two little brats shouting loudly at the village gate quickly attracted the crowd's attention. A villager pointed at Naruto Uzumaki in panic, "It's the demon fox!"
"That little monster!"
"Let's go quickly!"
A group of people pointed at Naruto Uzumaki, then dispersed like a tide...
Naruto Uzumaki was stunned, "They..."
Uchiha Sasuke looked at the dispersing crowd with disdain, "Tch! What's there to be afraid of a little brat! A bunch of weaklings!"
"Hey, hey, hey! You're not much older than me, you bastard!" This guy Sasuke was like a natural magnet for hatred. Naruto Uzumaki instantly lost interest in caring about others.
"I'm three months older than you, you idiot! There's an open space near this forest, do you dare to fight me there?"
"Don't underestimate me, you bastard!"
The two little fellows, fuming with anger, left together...
Uchiha Mikoto had already learned of Naruto's background from her eldest son. She turned her head to look at her husband, "Shouldn't we go check on them? Sasuke and Naruto are still very young..."
"Hmm, no need... What was Itachi doing at this age? It seems he could already skillfully engage in taijutsu battles with me!" The old father's train of thought was clearly not on the right track. He thought for a moment and then shook his head, "Sasuke is a bit lacking..."
