After playing with the surprised little Naruto all afternoon and having a big meal.
Qingyu told little Naruto again that he might be away for a long time this time.
Although little Naruto was reluctant to leave, after getting used to Brother Qingyu's longer and longer missions, little Naruto was no longer as sad and uneasy as he was at first.
On the contrary, he cheered Qingyu full of energy and said that he would be at home and wait for his return.
Qingyu was very pleased with how sensible little Naruto was. If the second pillar had been replaced, he would have hugged Itachi's thigh tightly and wouldn't let go, and then would be acting coquettishly and crying at the same time.
Before leaving, Qingyu also left all the money left after printing the book to little Naruto, so as to save the little guy from going hungry and having nothing to eat.
He even deposited a sum of money at Ichiraku Ramen for emergency purposes.
Uncle Shouda liked the sensible and strong little Naruto very much, so he did not refuse. If anything happened, he would also lend a helping hand.
After making these arrangements, Qingyu returned home and had a good sleep, waiting for the start of a new journey.
............
When the Mikawa class got back together after their vacation, I don't know if it was an illusion, but Aoyu always felt that Itachi seemed to be getting stronger again.
But he didn't know exactly where it became stronger. He could only say it was an intuition!
Then just when Mikawa was about to go take over the mission, Aoyu said directly, "Mikawa-sensei, Itachi and I want to..."
"Do you want to go to the frontline battlefield?"
Mikawa directly finished the rest of Qingyu's words, and his expression was calm, as if he was not surprised at all.
Qingyu was startled for a moment, this script was not quite right.
But he still nodded.
"Itachi has already told me about this, and my answer is no!"
Aoyu couldn't help but glance at Itachi, and then wanted to persuade Mr. Mikawa to change his mind, but at this time Itachi shook his head gently towards him.
So Qingyu hesitated for a moment and did not rush to express his opinion. Instead, he quietly waited for Mr. Mikawa's next words.
As expected, after Mikawa said 'no', he sighed and continued, "As your teacher, I must be responsible for your safety. The war is changing rapidly, and you can never know which direction the danger will sneak up from."
Get close to you. No one dares to pat their chest and guarantee that they will survive!"
"Even as powerful as the Sandaime Raikage, he was besieged by more than 10,000 enemies in the previous war and died of exhaustion."
"So in my opinion, you are not qualified to intervene in the war at all."
"Even if possible, I hope you will never be involved in a war in your lifetime."
After Mikawa said what was in his heart, he suddenly changed the subject and said, "But ninjas born during the war are unfortunate because they cannot escape."
"Just a few days ago, Chief Fugaku of the Uchiha clan found me with the consent of Lord Hokage. He hopes to allow Itachi to accept the baptism of war, and this seems to be Itachi's initiative."
"As your teacher, although I can protect you for a while, I cannot protect you for a lifetime."
"War may be a catalyst for your growth, but it may also kill you, so I respect your choice."
"Whether you stay in Konoha or choose to go to the battlefield, you decide for yourself."
After Mikawa finished speaking his heartfelt words, Qingyu and the others felt a heavy feeling in their hearts, as well as Teacher Mikawa's concern for them.
But they don’t want to give up this opportunity!
Especially Itachi's dedication, not only being able to persuade his father to let him do such a dangerous thing, but even getting his father to persuade the Hokage and Mikawa-sensei to gain such a rare and precious opportunity.
If you choose to give up, wouldn't you be sorry for what Itachi silently did?
So Qingyu and Itachi immediately expressed their firm stance after looking at each other.
Then only Moonlight Hayate was left who had not yet expressed his stance.
"Ahem, why are you looking at me? Do you still want to kick me out of Sanhe class?"
"If you don't mind me being a sick person holding you back, of course I have no objection. But next time something like this happens, can you two inform me in advance? Otherwise, I will think that you two bastards are squeezing me out!"
Moonlight Hayate's very unhappy answer made Aoyu and Itachi laugh.
Maybe Qingyu and Itachi just didn't want to embarrass him, but after so many life and death experiences, they had already become true companions who could trust each other's backs!
So Itachi said sorry directly, while Aoyu jumped up and hugged Moonlight Hayate's neck, and punched him a few times with a smile.
The moonlight blast was so strong that I didn't even cough my lungs out.
Looking at the several disciples who were laughing and playing in front of him, Mikawa felt relieved but also a little hesitant. He didn't know whether the decision he made was accelerating their growth or harming them.
Regardless of how many people rise to fame in every war, achieve great fame, and then reach the pinnacle of their lives.
But most of them are ordinary people whose bones are buried in a foreign land, leaving only a tombstone in obscurity.
This springboard is not so easy, and one mistake can lead to disaster.
Mikawa didn't know what would happen to his disciples. All he could do was to risk his own life to help them move towards the light!
"Now that you have made your decision, let's go."
"Are you leaving now? What is our mission?"
"Mission? Our mission is to obey the arrangements. We will wait until we are on the battlefield."
Mikawa, who had long expected this outcome, had already received the paperwork to be transferred to the front line from the Hokage.
Moreover, he himself is very familiar with war. There are many of his old friends there, and he doesn't know how many are still alive.
So the Mikawa squad, traveling lightly, left the village again.
It's just that this time they will face the cruelty of war, which will be a more bloody and violent battlefield than their previous passive encounters!
At the same time, Danzo, who was secretly contacting the Akatsuki organization, also immediately sent people to the border of the Land of Fire after learning about this incident.
Obviously, the name Shinomiya Aoyu has been on Gen’s must-kill list!
Although the plan to kill someone with a borrowed knife failed last time, he didn't believe that the other party had such good luck this time.
If his contact with the Akatsuki organization hadn't stopped him from being careless and focused all his manpower on this matter, he might have dispatched all his people to intercept and kill him on the way!
This shows how deep Danzo’s hatred for Aoyu is!
But compared to being an insignificant pawn, it was the position of Hokage that made it harder for him to let go!
