Previous Chapter
Itachi was early in the morning and went completed. He was excited about what they learn today. He had passed the test with Master Orochimaru, even though he had lost to him. His father had his behavior yesterday probably out of shame considered but Itachi could not help but feel proud as the fact that he had to Orochimaru-sensei made the team. He would certainly learn a lot. He quietly slipped out of his room when he was done. The hallway was empty and there was deserted. Itachi slipped on tiptoe to the kitchen. As he stood in the doorway, he peered cautiously at first around the corner, like a thief to loot stuff, before he entered. He did not meet his father. He was afraid of his reaction because he did not like this after yesterday was tempered. His father did not like it when he came too close and Itachi had the feeling that his master had done just that.
remembered too well the Itachi in one evening, when they had received a visit from the Hyuuga family. They wanted to negotiate with each other, since his father was a dealer from his shop to sell something that a father wanted to have it. But apparently was the Hyuuga clan just as interested in the head and it was probably his father had been a pleasure to provoke and to see how this wall is almost in his desire to give the arrogant white-eyed a lesson. The output had probably ended in disaster. So it was at least told him, because he had to be there at the end not been allowed. He knew only that his father had raised at that time more than once a hand against him as soon as Itachi even made the mistake of saying something wrong. He had seen the Hyuugas just curious. But his father did not think he even felt a little more than contempt for the Hyuugas and interpret his sentence on the number of insults that expressed the Hyuugas against the Uchiha.
He had been a lesson. He never had so openly considered guests or to chat with them. He would have liked at all such meetings so completely absent, but it had brought him nothing but a complaint, as he once expressed this wish.
But now had not all.
piece Itachi ran to the refrigerator and pulled on him. He looked at the food and took something out. He smeared a few loaves of bread, which he then plastered to think extensively and without much easy. But after the first few bites came in one of his relatives. She was the aunt of his mother and very strict. The main house of the Uchiha was her one and all. She urged always to decency and any female education Uchiha daughter had to go through their hard lessons of behavior. Would he ever got a sister, they would certainly be completely under the thumb of this woman. Itachi was scared of this woman, not because he feared the pain certainly is not. His father took over that role, but she humiliated him where she could. She was entitled to impose his sentences, even if they had his father every time inform you if it was one that lasted over a long period out. to beat him it was forbidden, but they found other ways to let him suffer. She wanted to teach him humility and so they tried to wise Pretexts to force him to work hard. His mother could, however had to say in his education, not much, just because it affects the way alleged by mother's feelings of the heir and his effeminate.
Often Itachi had heard these words. Just as the words that he was allowed to take food to something simply not without permission.
" Itachi Uchiha!", Now began to tongue-lashing.
Itachi ever gave something back, because Uchiha Midori was terrifying. She was tall and strong. Her hair was held together by a severe bun. They even managed to give his father stand up and was not afraid to exploit their position within the clan. Their opinion and their decision was final, for it was she brought up all of the possible brides and controlled. Itachi would probably owe it to her, whom he would marry, as there would if the bride of the heir of the clan was worthy.
" How can you dare without the permission of the kitchen to enter and take you to eat just anything? There are fixed rules in this house and these are FOLLOWED! Also on YOU! Just because you're the CLAN HERITAGE have to know you, what you heard and what HAS TO BE! "Were
Itachi's moves as if frozen and stiff, he looked into the face of his aunt . It would be no re-words, but beat it with the next best opportunity. Normally, he hated to be yelled at and their arguments, he did not understand of it anyway. He just quietly obeyed only when he knew she was close to them from to keep body. The urge to answer her once fierce and robbing them of their position of power grew every time she got ready and Itachi swore that this woman at some point to rise even to the point that they had no other option but for him to apologize and admit that he was right. At some point, but Itachi knew that this would probably take a little longer, until he could give her the break.
His face was rock hard and defiant. It was not hidden from his aunt, of course.
" Oh, 'she snapped at him. "The Lord wants to apologize not well? YES? Then the Lord just goes without eating something from the house. "
Now Itachi was still somewhat shocked.
Room only for training? Who knew how Orochimaru-sensei dealt with breaks. Itachi swallowed, but is forced to show any weakness. He would not treat the elderly. He turned around and left as quickly as possible to the room before his aunt could not say anything. Should he get to eat on the road a bit? Yes, that was not such a bad idea, found Itachi. Outside, he walked slowly past the houses of his clan. Many were still asleep, only here and there came a Shinobi from the door and went on his way to work.
The mist still hung between the houses and Itachi did not see anyone he knew in detail. But he liked it even much that time all was quiet. Otherwise, the streets seemed more depressing because it was seen from everywhere. He had never seen the neighborhood in the morning. Itachi decided he could get used to it. Shortly before the main road leave and wanted to turn a side alley that would lead to the exit of the clan area, something caught his attention.
The smell of fresh bread.
Itachi sniffed again. It came from the store over there.
Cautiously he crept closer and peered cautiously through the open door. He saw two elderly people who were keen on baking. Suddenly a lot of him who he was. Distant relative of his, famous for her good bread were in Konoha. Alone with the smell of him began to water in his mouth and his stomach growled.
Itachi was impressed by the good bread that was lying on the counter, but he had no money to buy with him, to which one.
" Hey, come in," he shouted to the old man, who had now seen.
Reluctantly Itachi walked into the store. It smelled so good, but unfortunately he could not pay.
" Good morning," welcomed the first owner, who looked at him kindly.
The owner knew of course that the boy was more interested in his bread as a conversation. Maybe he could get the boys know better when he first nursed his hunger. He grabbed a freshly baked rolls and held it out to the boy who saw her with wide eyes, unsure whether he should take it really.
" also a good morning to you, young man"
Itachi finally reached after the bread and ate it with relish. It looked so not that he is the joy of good food gave. In addition, the rolls tasted delicious.
" What are you so early on his feet, asked him the old man now
" Training ", took Itachi between bites out and tapped it proudly on his headband.
The Shopkeeper smiled at him in silence, but regretted that the situation looked so bad that the Hokage would permit, that such young people, children were actually still sent to the battlefield. He pulled out two more rolls and gave them to the boys.
" here for you," he said.
" But I can not pay for it," Itachi replied guiltily, had finished the last and largest hunger eaten.
" That does not matter. Hungry children do not have to pay for a meal. They must be big and strong so that they have enough energy to fight, "said the old man. "Please never forget the training or on the mission to bring enough food, because hunger and thirst are the worst enemies, they also can be avoided."
Itachi nodded gravely, and swore the gratitude that he had received this bread in vain to remember this advice. He put the other two buns in his pocket and waved goodbye.
" Goodbye."
" bye, kid. Come again soon over. "
Itachi nodded and then ran out the door to be, because he had noticed that it was getting late and he wanted to be arriving late for training because .
-
There was no half an hour ago that he had left the shop of the baker. The streets of Konoha was foggy and Itachi had had trouble finding her way around, so thick were the low-lying fog, which gave everything a gray tone, and people only dimly at a little distance made. But more than the reduced visibility Itachi disturbed the wet, which brought the fog with it. The wall on which he leaned, had been wet and Itachi felt the unpleasant tingling sensation in his back. On his skin, a thin layer of water had subsided, so he had the desire to look for a towel and dry rub.
train Was ever a day to?
Itachi wondered this and looked at Anko, who could not seem to decide whether she should take off or kept on her jacket. He would have so advised the jacket to leave, because it was easier to deal heat than with cold. In addition, it would anyway still warm enough during training and when they started to sweat, it was better that they kept warm. Itachi knew how easy it could thereby weaken. Once he had a bad cold caught by something and that was one of the few times where they had exercised forbearance with him at home. His father had told him that he not risk pneumonia at his son did not yet fully grown. He did not understand exactly what that meant, but he had heard how the doctor had said to his father that that was a risk that did not need to respond.
Whatever.
Anko He would have said yes, it was not healthy the jacket off, but she had looked at him strangely, as they come was. There had been resentment and anger on him in her eyes.
Whether that was because of yesterday?
It was only after the examination of their masters have been such to him. In general, he did not know what Anko and this other boy - had to do for things to Orochimaru-sensei to convince them of their abilities - Yue. Did they ever existed, is Itachi asked at once. But then they would probably not be here. Your Sensei would have immediately said to them but if they had failed. Just as he would if he himself would have done. Itachi struggled with herself.
Should he ask what they need to do?
But they would keep him then for weak?
He was younger than them, so they would not respect him more quickly if he did not show absolute strength. Also ... what it should look after it, he told himself. He would know whether the other members had insisted his team. Orochimaru would come soon and then would He further explained it all, convinced Itachi himself
A few minutes later, in which there was absolute silence and Anko her jacket dressed again, there was a gong. Then another one. Itachi registered that it had to come from the gate. Some time ago, yet this was the sign for a potential attacker was, so he listened automatically whether it was a particular sequence, which could tell him whether it was something serious. But before Itachi could continue to pay attention to the sounds appeared as if from nowhere, in a small eddy their masters before them.
Itachi pushed himself away from the wall and stood up straight, arms folded across the chest. He looked at Orochimaru-sensei. Something was different than yesterday.
Itachi quickly discovered the reason for his entertaining irritation. Unlike yesterday, today, his sensei was not the usual ninja clothing. The black dress with the dark jacket and a ninja headband was missing. It seemed almost everyday clothes. Protected the right clothes in a fight at all? Itachi would have handled the material like once, but he forbade it to fulfill this urge.
How would this look like that?
He should rather concentrate on more important matters. The training today for example.
Itachi hoped it would be something special and not one of those boring exercises that they had to attend the Academy has to satisfy. Who had been so terribly tiring. He often had to stand on the edge and get bored again if he was ready himself and the other children still fighting over the obstacles. He saw his master more urgent, as though he would do it so quickly get out of it what they would do today. He wanted to learn something. This urge came over him suddenly so fast that he could not hide. Here he could be sure strong. Itachi still did not know where it would cause it or what to do with that strength, but the important thing now was so erst.
Orochimaru was a little surprised ü About the zeal Itachi. So far he had not shown any ambitions to put him in that such an ambition. But on the other hand, was delighted when he offered yesterday Itachi someday again be allowed to play against him. Since it was assumed that there was relief, because he had passed the test.
Examination.
Orochimaru's eyes moved now to Itachi Anko.
Anko had fought surprisingly well. She was resourceful and had shown that she had stamina. He was sure that he could make it a good shinobi. A fighter who would bear her name correctly. He did not believe that, like many of their comrade even a media would be nin. Tsunade was still a great role model for all female ninja. Many young girls wanted to be like her. Orochimaru had to hold back because of his enthusiasm. Medi-nin to be was something for people who realized too late that they do not have to face death or that of the constant battles, the dead and the brutal battlefields to gently and weichmütig were. Anko was not among them. Otherwise they would not apply to arms and killing species Interested but for Nin-jutsu.
Then Orochimaru's gaze wandered to the last team member. This was not quite as weak as he had feared. He would see if he could but this boy is not physically push a little. It would be better if he did not notice the fact that he took from the regular team and one student out these possibly neglected.
The boy could also listen to the missions of his lessons. He could afford it in fact not to annoy the Hokage so that after it had him once again stressed, that Itachi Uchiha like any other health should be treated nin. The San-nin wondered how the old man who presented it. Yet this would work, yes, but soon, would provide Itachi by demands more power than anyone had imagined. The potential of the boys was huge, if not superhuman. It even enabled him excitement when he thought how good Itachi would become.
But he should approach it slowly.
Finally, today was just the beginning. He would see what would come to them for problems. But he would then be ready. Finally, he was a San-nin, a student of Sandaime and a very able and also feared ninja. With three children, he would get along.
Orochimaru saw the three Ge-nin again carefully and then began to explain what he had planned for today.
" Well, listen carefully!, He said. "You all have great potential and I will make great ninja, but I warn you: it will not be easy. I will require order and discipline. Anyone who disturbs the group but has, in business here but nothing. You will obey my commands unconditionally, I say, what you should do. Got it? And I will tolerate no contradiction! "
He saw how his three students nodded. Him a lot but at that distinguished itself as the gestures. Yue's nod was a hurry and quickly. He was clearly scared and afraid, not probably be good enough and left the team then to have.
ANKOS reaction was more defiant. They did not seem thrilled to have to prescribe something. Reluctantly, she crossed her arms over her chest now.
thought Lastly, after more than Orochimaru Itachi's reaction. The boy had just nodded. He had accepted this little speech as a statement and she would follow. Evidently he was accustomed to that tone.
far, so bad.
-
A short time later then Itachi, Anko and Yue sat under a tree. Closely they stuck their heads together as they tried to in the previous activity related to protection. In the meantime it had started to rain. But instead of just drizzling rain that rained from the sky drops now thick and soaked the clothes of the Ge-nin.
These were naturally not been very enthusiastic about it.
your master had pressed a scroll in his hand and was gone in a puff of smoke. He had told them that they have delegated would have to do that were listed on the role and depending on how well or how badly they solved the tasks that would turn their further training. Itachi thought it sounded like a long arduous exercises, as they had in the academy already, should they fail. But he would not fail.
He did finally get something right.
Even his father had not yet shown any of the fire arts. He said that he had not yet earned. Itachi pulled the corners of her mouth deep down, he thought. Hopefully, would show him his father soon Katon no Jutsu. Then he wanted to be inaugurated in the clan arts. He was finally not so much about, right? How could he continue to come, when they brought him in nothing? Accessible only to repeat the same exercises until he mastered to perfection, was caustic. Itachi threw another look at the scroll. The tasks were on it ... strange. He understood what to do, at least he could imagine something underneath, but the meaning behind it, he did not recognize. But just as it looked, they were also all tasks that had to be carried out in certain places.
Anko came on the same idea.
" these exercises, we can not do here. This is how any sense, "she tapped the scroll. "This is an area of the speech. Since we do not know where is this site, we'll just find this out! "
" Our first job! "Confirmed Itachi. Anko was not stupid, had recognized the same as he did. His impression that they can with it perhaps could do something quite solidified, themselves. But since he wanted nothing to hurry!
" But we still do not know where is this section of the text here in the question is," said Anko loud, but more to himself than to her teammates.
" I ... I think I know where to find this site," now said the shy boy who had been silent the entire time.
Itachi's head sat up and looked at Yue penetrating. He nin studied the small, frail health, who had been given no sound and not yet proven to be really useful. Anger welled up in Itachi. Where should this weakling as to know where they had to go?
" Explain", he hissed and sparkled with the eyes.
jumped back frightened Yue Hongo, trying to collect. The other boy scared him. Not as much as Orochimaru-sensei, but he found Itachi's evil eye now was similar to the master a little when they all looked at this.
" Uh ... Um, "he stammered.
" spitting 's off, kid!" Drove him now also Anko.
hastened Quickly Yue. He wanted to annoy his team members do not continue. But maybe it would not hurt him so, when he told them what he had come.
" Well ... Here it is in the middle Task gives us the hint: cross the river without coming in contact with him. Boats and bridges are not allowed. tells us the thing: there are three rivers in Konoha. The One is near the Hokage monuments that can not cross, because along the rock wall flows. The second is mostly underground, is rarely at the surface and is used for drinking water systems. So is the also left because of no bridges or the like has. "
" And it only remains for the river at the other end of the village outside," Itachi finished the lecture.
He liked the idea not in the rain through the village to run. They were wet, even before they have reached this river at all. But the matter had to be now. They were ninja. The did not ask for better weather.
" Let's go!"
was with these words on it and left the protective canopy.
