At night, the rain gradually stopped, and the accumulated rainwater fell into puddles along the eaves, making a ticking sound, which made people's thoughts spread like ripples, and then slowly converged.
Bai Yu was wearing tribal clothes and carrying a kerosene lamp.
Walk out the back door.
The wooden houses lined up in rows in the Uchiha clan looked lonely and lonely as the night fell and the rain washed over them, with a few scattered lights on.
A cool chill is coming.
Bai Yu shuddered and sat on the corridor of his wooden house, looking around. The place was surrounded by a bamboo forest in front, and the corridor of his wooden house was in the back. The left and right sides were open and wide.
It is a quiet, spacious place with no one to disturb.
It's a pretty good place for ninjutsu training.
The dirt floor is full of potholes filled with rainwater.
Bai Yu's legs were hanging under the corridor, holding a B-level ninjutsu "Water Release: Explosive Water Wave" scroll and flipping through it. His serious look was reflected in the potholes and pools.
It is indeed a B-level ninjutsu.
The difficulty of learning is more than one level higher than that of C-level Fireball.
Although the two ninjutsu seem to have similar release forms.
One breathes fire.
One spits water.
But the main difficulty lies in the large amount of chakra required to release "Explosive Water Wave" and the complicated property transformation process. Once mastered, you can directly spit out enough water to form a lake, which is very powerful.
Time passed bit by bit.
Bai Yu, who worked hard and carefully studied the ninjutsu scrolls, had the illusion of going back to his previous life when he was a senior in high school reading at night.
It's just that the examination was for academic purposes.
I am rolling now to save my life.
Thinking about it.
Bai Yu put down the ninja scroll in his hand that he half understood, covered his forehead, and lamented: "It's all the fault of King Uchiha Itachi..."
"I am here."
From the direction of the dark bamboo forest, a capable figure carrying a ninja sword came slowly, his voice slightly magnetic.
Bai Yu was startled.
Subconsciously, he hid the scroll behind his back.
Wait until you can see who is coming.
Bai Yu's pupils shrank sharply, and he took a breath of cold air, his body subconsciously keeping on guard.
In the dark night, stepping on the mud puddles, the footsteps were light, and the person slowly came to him.
It was Uchiha Itachi who was wearing ANBU costume and a red-striped fox mask tied to his hair. He had a delicate face but deep tear grooves on both sides of his nose.
Itachi narrowed his eyes and smiled after seeing Bai Yu.
Bai Yu: "..."
The master of suffering comes to your door?
I'm here to avenge your brother, just say so.
Give me a happy word!
"I just came back from a mission. On the way, I heard from the children in the village that my brother Sasuke was beaten by his classmate Bai Yu." Itachi said without ceremony, as if he were back at home, sitting in the corridor and removing his ninja sword from his back. Place it between the two of you.
Bai Yu: "..."
Is this a warning?
Is my brother going to start killing people?
Itachi then smiled and said:
"Don't be so nervous. I'm not here to hold you accountable as a parent. On the contrary, I'm here to thank you."
"Thank me?"
Bai Yu moved his eyes away from the Senran Ninja Sword, looked calmly into Itachi's eyes, and asked in surprise.
It wasn't because Itachi had a sword that Bai Yu was afraid of him.
After all, I was just talking behind my back.
A little guilty.
This was Bai Yu's first experience hitting someone's younger brother.
My brother came to thank me personally.
Brothers!
Could it be that Itachi had always wanted to slap Sasuke, but he had no excuse and it was hard for him to do so as an older brother?
"I recently joined ANBU and don't have time to spend with Sasuke."
"He has always targeted me."
"That's why you bother me every day," Itachi said after feeling helpless, but he was relieved: "Your rise will inevitably become his new target. Of course, this is also a blessing for our Uchiha clan."
Bai Yu's mouth twitched and he said nothing.
He was sure of it.
Itachi hadn't returned home to see his brother's miserable state with his own eyes, otherwise he wouldn't have said these words to himself.
Your brother's hair was burned bald.
Eyebrows burned off.
Can you still smile and thank others?
Staring into the dark night.
Itachi said seriously:
"I used to hear from tribesmen that Bai Yu, who lives at the end of the tribe, is timid, cowardly, and not good at expressing himself."
"But from what I just observed in the dark."
"And through your eyes."
"I saw a soul that could think, mask emotions, study hard, and be enterprising."
"If I had just drawn my knife, you would have pounced on me decisively."
Bai Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and looked like he was no longer pretending, his eyes showing deepness.
Chatting with someone like Itachi.
It must be more stylish than him.
Actually.
he thought to himself.
If you just drew the knife.
I just ran away!
"Nice to meet you." Itachi picked up the ninja sword, stood up, glanced at the dimly lit kerosene lamp placed in the corridor, and smiled softly: "If you need any help, just come to the clan leader's house to see me. Tracing back to the origin of Uchiha, we are one family!"
"I'll give it to you!"
Bai Yu sneered at his words, stood up, and stuffed the scroll into his arms.
He was not yet fully developed, and his height was only Itachi's shoulders, but at this time he showed no fear of the opponent.
Uchiha Itachi looked satisfied and nodded.
The two walked side by side through the cabin.
As for height, Bai Yu is not in a hurry.
He is still young.
There is a lot of room for development.
Come to the front door of the cabin.
Send Uchiha Itachi away.
Bai Yu looked at the capable back, sighed, and thought to himself, next time he sprays him, he must first see if this elusive guy is nearby.
I am here……
I thought Xiao Ai Xiaoyi traveled through time with me!
Bai Yu was about to lock the door.
Continue to go back and study the ninjutsu scrolls.
Creak——
The door stopped halfway open.
Bai Yu opened the door in surprise and looked out.
I saw a big hand pushing and blocking the door.
Three adult members of the Uchiha clan gathered in front of the wooden house. The young man with slender hair parted in the middle and cold eyes took the lead. He retracted his right hand and said indifferently: "It's almost the end of the month, kid. Please pay the rent, 3,000 taels!"
Bai Yu had a headache when he heard the word rent, and asking him to take the money was even more uncomfortable than killing him.
Look up.
The leader is Uchiha Inari.
This person is around 24-25 years old.
A member of the Konoha Police Force and an elite member of the Uchiha clan.
The other two are also Uchiha members.
But he didn't recognize it.
Bai Yu said coldly: "No money."
Uchiha Inari sneered ruthlessly at the two subordinates behind him: "Okay, register this wooden house as scrapped and arrange for it to be demolished tomorrow."
Finished.
He turned around and led the people away.
Bai Yu laughed happily and said: "Who are you trying to scare? I don't have any money. You go find Itachi Uchiha and say that I need his help now."
After the three people in Daohuo looked at each other.
Looking at Itachi's disappearing figure at the end of the street.
Combined with Itachi, he came out of Bai Yu's house.
The three nodded.
"Kid, if you dare to play with me, your wooden house will be demolished tonight." Dao Huo left harsh words and led the people away.
Bai Yu raised his middle finger at the backs of the three of them.
Close the door hard.
I thought to myself, if you give me a few more months to grow, sooner or later I will deal with you, those Uchiha cowards who bully others and are afraid of others!
That's it!
If the Uchiha do not perish, it will be intolerable to God!
…
…
In the middle of the Uchiha clan's land, there is the patriarch's courtyard with a vast area and exquisite landscape.
Itachi stood at the door of his house.
Listening to Dao Huo and the other two people relaying Bai Yu's words.
Itachi asked coldly: "When did the clan start collecting rent from orphans?"
"The new clan rules designated by Yashiro-sama clearly instruct us, the Uchiha clan, not to raise waste."
Dao Huo said calmly.
The ferocious and stereotyped face of "Yashiro Uchiha" quickly appeared in Itachi's mind. That guy was one of the leaders of the Konoha police force, and his own father always praised him highly.
"All right,"
Itachi took out his thick wallet from his pocket and threw it to Inari.
Inside was the salary he had just received from the ANBU.
"This money... is a lot more." Dao Huo weighed the heavy wallet and was surprised.
Itachi left them with a back view.
Side face said:
"Use the extra money to help connect electricity to Bai Yu's house. By the way, ask him if there is anything he needs to renovate in the wooden house. If I know that you are pocketing it..."
"Hey~ Got it!"
Dao Huo agreed with a look of displeasure on his face and led the people away.
Didn't take a few steps.
Two clan members behind him discussed:
"Something's wrong. I heard from my children that this Bai Yu just beat Sasuke up in the ninja school!"
"Itachi actually helped him at this time?"
In front of the gate of the patriarch's courtyard.
Itachi looked indifferent, squinting at the three people's backs, and whispered softly: "The size of this people... is really disgusting!"
Unfair ethnic regulations.
Let Itachi feel some kind of determination in his heart.
A little more determined.
