"What happened? I'm so confused..."

Qingyu, who had taken the trumpet Yasuo offline, opened the secret room and asked with a slight frown.

"Itachi Uchiha is here, and Shiro has been captured!"

Qingyu immediately showed a surprised look, Itachi could actually find this place?

It seems that the mistake made by the Land of Waves last time made Itachi very upset.

"Calm down, speak slowly, and tell me the whole process of your meeting."

Under Xianglin's narration, Qingyu gradually restored part of what happened, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Itachi still knew him very well and didn't use any radical methods. He just wanted to see him.

Although a war may be inevitable, he is not the same person now.

Even if some of Yasuo's signature methods cannot be used, it does not mean that he has nothing to do with Itachi.

Presumably after he used the [Reflection Bell] to reflect Itachi's Tsukuyomi back that time, Itachi would not easily use genjutsu on him again.

But it’s better to be safe and bring the ‘Prince’ with you.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

In the dense forest, Itachi and Shiro stood motionless, as if some kind of holding magic had been cast on them.

But in fact Itachi didn't want to move, but Shiro didn't dare to move.

The difference between one word represents two completely different situations.

After an unknown amount of time, Itachi suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction where Xianglin left, "Here he is..."

Bai Wenyan also looked over, his expression a little complicated.

Obviously he is just a tool that can be discarded at will, why not give up on him?

"It really surprises me that you actually found this place."

A familiar figure suddenly appeared next to Bai.

"When you meet an old friend, do you still need to wear a mask?" Itachi felt a little uneasy at the moment.

"That's true, long time no see, Itachi."

While talking and laughing, Qingyu had taken off the mask on his face, revealing his handsome, familiar but slightly unfamiliar face.

Itachi even felt dazed for a moment, but soon regained his composure.

In terms of psychological adjustment ability, Itachi has always done very well and does not reveal his true emotions easily.

Only once, when facing the guy in front of me, would I always expose the unknown side of myself.

"It seems that you have lived well over the years and have found a few trustworthy companions."

"Did you hear that this guy is praising you? There are not many people who can be praised by Itachi Uchiha. So you guys had a pretty good time getting along before?"

Qingyu teased softly as he took off the mask and put it on Bai's face.

There was no tense atmosphere at all. Instead, it was more like good friends finally meeting each other. They couldn't help but want to reminisce about old times and childishly wanted to show off something.

Bai couldn't help but smile bitterly, was it pleasant?

He was obviously worried.

"sorry, I..."

"Okay, I know what you are going to say, but you have to know that you have just faced an opponent who has lost more than I have ever won. In terms of talent, there are few in the entire ninja world who can compare to this one. The guy is strong, but what’s even more annoying is that he only has great talent, but he also works harder than everyone else and is more calm and collected.”

"This guy is just a weirdo and has no friends. That means I was too kind back then. Oh, I regret it~"

Listening to Lord Qingyu sighing and saying these words, Bai suddenly looked a little strange, as if he always felt that something was not quite right.

Then I heard Itachi suddenly chuckle and say: "It seems that I am not the only one who has no friends. Are you sure that what you said just now is not describing yourself? If I am a freak, then who are you? Don't forget I don’t know how many people secretly treated you as a monster back then.”

"Is that so? Why didn't I know." Qingyu pretended to be stupid, and then couldn't help laughing, "Actually, it's quite good. A freak with a dead face, a monster who causes trouble everywhere, no wonder we The two can become friends.”

After saying that, the two actually looked at each other and smiled, as if they had returned to that time when they were young.

Bai started to get confused as he listened.

Isn’t the other party here to cause trouble?

Why did it suddenly change into reminiscing about the past?

Could it be that Uchiha Itachi was really just here as a 'guest'?

And although the two people seemed to be trying to ignore each other, for some reason, Bai felt a strong bond between them from this ordinary conversation.

That was an emotion that was even more inseparable than the care that he and Mr. Zabuza had for each other.

What is going on with these two people?

Am I being a little redundant here?

"What are you thinking about?"

Qingyu suddenly patted Bai's shoulders twice.

"I was wondering if there was any misunderstanding before? The current situation is completely different from what I expected before." Bai said very tangledly.

If he had known that this was the case, why would he have been seeking death before?

Fortunately, he was stopped by the other party, otherwise he would have died unjustly!

Qingyu probably knew what this guy was thinking, so he said with a smile: "What do you think the situation should be like now? He is from Konoha, and I am a rebel ninja from Konoha, so I have to start a fight when we meet. A fight?"

"Well..."

Bai wanted to say, isn't it like this?

Back then, he and Mr. Zabuza were chased all the way to the Land of Waves by the Kirigakure ANBU.

But before he could say anything, Qingyu changed the subject and said, "Actually, what you think is not wrong, so before we start fighting, you can go back first."

"Eh?"

Bai felt like he was completely confused!

The atmosphere is so good now, why do you think a fight is about to start?

Isn't it a close friend relationship?

Did he guess wrong again?

"Old friends haven't seen each other for a long time. Isn't it normal to catch up on old friends first? But our positions are different. He wants to take me back, but I don't want to. Of course, we will know the result after fighting. Okay, go back quickly, Xianglin They are all worried about you."

"Be prepared to move. After I give this guy a good beating, we have to move again."

Seemingly influenced by the strong self-confidence exuded by Qingyu, Bai Ye no longer struggled with the relationship between the two people.

He just nodded and left.

From beginning to end, Itachi had no intention of stopping him.

Anyway, the purpose of leaving Bai behind was to see someone. Now that someone has appeared, he has no enmity with Bai. Instead, he appreciates her, so naturally he won't do anything.

And Qingyu is right. Although he has a lot to say, just saying this will not solve the problem at all.

But this game of betrayal and ninja must come to an end!

The atmosphere between the two has changed again...
