I don't know whether it was a coincidence or an attempt to get rid of him, but after the Mikawa class was disbanded, Aoba alone received the mission personally assigned by the Hokage.
The target is near the Sorrel Gold Mountain in Kawanochi. The reason for the mission is that a team of Konoha ninjas were performing a mission in that area and then completely lost contact. Someone needs to be sent to investigate or even conduct a direct rescue.
Usually such troublesome tasks involve teamwork, so Aoba tentatively asked if he could carry out the task with Itachi, but Sarutobi refused by saying, "Itachi has other tasks."
This also allowed him to guess that Sarutobi still wanted to win Itachi under his command.
Qingyu couldn't help but laugh in his heart, did he think that this would make Itachi change his attitude?
Really thinking too much!
Qingyu accepted the task simply and left the village.
The Kingdom of Sichuan and the Kingdom of Rain are very close to each other, so we can meet up with Akatsuki's people along the way, and complete the mission of the trumpet vest.
It saves him the trouble of making other excuses.
As for the plan he and Itachi hatched, the preliminary preparations would still take some time, and Shisui still needed to be convinced.
I believe that when he comes back, he should be almost ready.
Maybe Konoha will change because of them!

Sauerkraut Kaneyama is the location of one of the few mining villages in Kawanoshima. It was originally very peaceful.
The people here are hard-working and not afraid of hardship, but they are also full of ignorance, stubbornness, superstition and other thoughts due to lack of communication with the outside world.
Until one day, the Black Spade family's forced intervention changed the appearance of the entire village. The leader of the Black Spade family even liked to 'punish' these ignorant villagers by burying the living.
For a time, the entire village was panicked, and everyone lived in fear.
However, just a few months ago, several villagers who went out to sell ore accidentally met ninjas from Konoha. With the blessing of courage, several villagers explained the situation, hoping that the ninjas could help them eradicate the cancer of the Black Spade family.
For this reason, they are willing to give all the money in the village in exchange for the ninja master's help.
These Konoha ninjas accepted this temporary task with indignation, and then decided to help the kind villagers drive away the Black Spade family.
But when they took action with confidence, the cruel reality taught them a vivid social lesson.
Never underestimate your enemy!
as well as...
If you don’t have absolute strength, don’t meddle in other people’s affairs!
When these Konoha ninjas who were found by the villagers were buried alive, the fear of the Black Spade family had penetrated into everyone's heart, and all the villagers did not dare to resist anymore and chose to live a humble life.
It was under such circumstances that a Konoha ninja named Shinomiya Aoba came here alone.
"Ninja...ninja?!"
"Oh no, Konoha's ninjas are coming again!"
"Hurry up and inform the Black Spade family!"
After seeing such a situation, Qingyu felt somewhat surprised, but it also let him know that he had finally found the right place.
"It seems that those missing people have indeed been here..."
Qingyu murmured to himself while casually grabbing a villager who was running away in embarrassment.
"How do you know that I am a ninja from Konoha? Also, have any ninjas from Konoha been here before?"
"I don't know, I don't know anything, please let me go!"
Qingyu reluctantly took out a kunai and said, "Tell me honestly, otherwise even if your backer comes, I will send you to see the King of Hell first."
The villager who was so frightened that he almost wet his pants immediately pointed to the forehead protector on Qingyu's head with a horrified look on his face and said: "The Konoha ninja who came here some time ago wore this thing on his head, exactly the same."
"Very well, now tell me, what was the reason why the previous Konoha ninjas came here, and where are they now?"
"Dead...dead! They were all killed by the leader of the Black Spade family! It's none of our business, it's really none of our business! They came here on their own initiative, so you should run away, just because
You alone are no match for them!"
Seeing that this guy seemed frightened and kept saying these few words over and over again, Qingyu had no choice but to let him go and continue walking inside.
Now that we have found the right place, we naturally have to complete the task as soon as possible.
Fear?
nonexistent!
What kind of big shot could this guy hiding in the mountains be?
Then he faced a group of fierce-looking guys who looked like they were not good people and blocked his way.
"This time it's really none of our business. This Konoha ninja came here on his own."
"Konoha must have sent someone to take revenge. What should we do?"
The villagers who came to report the news were chattering anxiously and in a panic, while distancing themselves from themselves.
"Shut up! If you make another noise, I'll bury you first!"
A young man in the lead fiercely pulled the villager over and threatened him.
"What's wrong with the Konoha ninja? There's only one person on the other side! Last time, those four losers were easily buried by Raiga-sama!"
"Don't be afraid, Lord Lei Ya will definitely be happy if we capture this guy alive!"
"Yes, Konoha is nothing, there is nothing to be afraid of!"
"Kill him!"
Qingyu was very speechless. They said that there are many unruly people in poor mountains and rivers, but you can't be so ignorant, right?
Even the other major ninja villages don't dare to say such arrogant words as "What does Konoha mean?" How dare you, the stinking fish and rotten shrimps, to be so arrogant?
He was really getting more and more curious about who the 'Raigasama' these people were talking about, and he actually didn't even pay attention to Konoha.
But since that 'Lord Thunder Fang' has no intention of showing up yet, let's clean up these little minions first to avoid being an eyesore.
While thinking this, Aoyu lit a cigar, and then took out the [Shuriken-Gatling] that had not been used for a long time.
When it comes to the pleasure of mowing grass, this thing is obviously easier to use.
The people in front of them obviously didn't realize the seriousness of the problem. When Qingyu pointed the barrel of his gun at them, they seemed to be wondering, how did they take out such a thick and long thing?
Then Qingyu pressed the button to start 'mowing'...
Boo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo...!
In an instant, countless shurikens were sprayed towards the dense crowd!
The distance between the two sides is only a dozen meters. Within this distance, the lethality of [Shuriken-Gatling] can be maximized.
Moreover, these minions are really the most numerous genin, and there is no way they can dodge the oncoming shuriken storm at this distance.
As a result, all kinds of horrifying screams continued to sound at the same time.
The luckier one was hit directly in the vital part and died on the spot.
Those who were unlucky were directly stabbed into the shape of a hedgehog. After suffering a lot of pain, they died with a look of horror on their faces.
(ps: I want to say a lot, but I don’t dare to say it after thinking about it carefully. Just read the book. Don’t be led by the rhythm, and don’t discuss it. If someone posted a message and asked the rhythm, please contact the book review management directly to delete it. The current environment is a bit chaotic.
Yes, let’s wait for the result. We’ll talk about it after the result comes out.)
