Chapter 10 Itachi's Transformation (4)
"Don't be discouraged, moss may also be left by animals." Zhishui comforted, and the two walked a few more steps forward, but Zhishui squatted down and turned a small stone on the ground.
"Stone?"
"Yes." Zhishui nodded and looked at the back of the stone. "The front is wet, the back is dry..."
"Is this possible also fake?" Itachi asked.
"The possibility may not be, but the degree of moisture shows how long we are going to pass here."
"I see……"
Zhishui observed the light around him and said, "From the degree of dryness, the escapees should have left here less than a moment."
Itachi took a breath and smelled a faint fragrance of flowers. A few yellow wild flowers were swaying in the grass not far away. Itachi walked over and squatted down. It saw that the petals on several of them had fallen. "Did the escapee step into the grass and mix it?"
"Beautiful job, let's go." Shimizu patted Itachi's shoulder and said.
The sunset shines in the stream, and the stream reflects the sunlight onto the surrounding rocks, making the surroundings red, making it look like a different scene.
"That's the trace of the fish rubbing down." Zhishui said to the Itachi who was looking for clues on a stone in the stream.
"Isn't even a false clue?" Itachi sighed.
"Well, this is the purpose of forging clues, making everything around you look like clues, and then making the tracking quadrons a mess, and escaping will become easier."
"In this case, it is impossible for me to find the escapee alone to complete the tracking mission. It seems that I still need to learn more tracking skills."
Shishui laughed a few times and said to Itachi, "Half is right." As he said that, he sat on the stone beside him, took out the water he carried with him, took a few sips of itchy, and handed it to Itachi, "Give it, come and drink..."
"Because you are so excellent, Itachi, you have never put yourself in the shoes of people who are not outstanding enough." Hearing Shimizu's comment on himself, Itachi, who was drinking water, was choked and coughed repeatedly.
Shimizu patted Itachi's back and smiled and said, "Because you are too excellent, Itachi, you have never put yourself in the shoes of people who are not good enough. I mean, tracking skills are important, but the psychology of the escapee is also important."
The earth was bathed in the afterglow of the colorful clouds. The breeze blew the river surface, rippling layers of ripples, reflecting the bright red glow, like a river of red agate, shining brightly.
The woods behind him were shining with green light, and the green leaves were gently shaking in the breeze. The wind blew the leaves and made a "rustling" sound. The wind in the sky chased, teased, and teared the clouds. The two figures next to the river bank were like a pair of intimate brothers. Shimizu placed his hand on Itachi's back and told him some of his experiences. Tracking skills and the psychology of the escaped person.
The sunset in the sky became redder and redder. Zhishui stood up and looked at the sunset in the sky. The last glow of the west sky gradually melted into the dark twilight. The sky gradually darkened, and the surrounding mountains showed a contour of indulgent colors, and the twilight became darker.
"Okay, the second item to start the exercise..."
After catching a few fish from the river, the two of them set up a fire on the shore. When night fell, the ink became thicker, and the world gradually calmed down. Next to the stream, next to the fire burning with flames, two young men in light black clothes sat.
"What is the second exercise?" Itachi asked.
"Well, night camping..."
The textbook says that camping at night is prohibited from raising fires, but if you do this, there is something else."
Itachi said in confusion.
"Eat first..." Shishui handed a fish that had been cooked to Itachi. Itachi took it over, and then heard Shishui say again: "Because you are so excellent, Itachi?"
"I'm still far from it..." Itachi couldn't help blushing after being praised by Shishui for a series of praises. "That's true during the day. If I have more tracking skills..."
"Well, yes..." Shisui couldn't help laughing, Itachi was dissatisfied, "What's so funny about this?"
"Sorry, I'm a little happy..."
"What are you happy with?"
"Nothing, listen to me first." Zhishui also picked up a fish and said, "I thought I had nothing to teach you, but..."
"You taught me a lot during the day."
"I'm very happy." Zhishui said, taking a bite of the fish.
"Then...what is this fire?" Itachi asked.
"Well..." Shishui nodded, "It feels good to eat with someone who can relax yourself. Besides, I think it will be a little happier to eat some hot food... Itachi, eat it while it's hot."
"Hmm..." As he said that, Itachi bit off a piece of fish in one bite, "It's so hot and delicious..."
"Yes..." Zhishui laughed twice.
'But if I was really good enough, he wouldn't die.' Itachi couldn't help but think of two teammates who died to protect himself, and the teacher who retired due to serious injuries. His eyes dimmed again, 'My strength is still too weak. If I were stronger...' The scene of teammates lying in a pool of blood again appeared, 'He wouldn't die...'
"My strength is still too weak..." Itachi couldn't help saying, "I like this..."
"I...my Sharingan has opened..."
"Is that so you lied..." Zhishui used a wooden stick to pound the wood in the fire.
"Lie? I said it at the beginning of the exercise..." Itachi retorted.
"Because you are too good at deceiving yourself, you don't notice your true feelings." Shishui said: "It's because you don't want to stay at home, you just write on your face."
Itachi recalled the scene when his teammate died, and his father Uchiha Fugao's indifference to his teammate's sacrifice, and said in a moment: "Maybe..." Itachi raised his head and looked at Shimizu, "Have you told you the future?"
"Well, after he went back yesterday, he specifically asked me about the situation of the Sharingan."
"So that's it...he went to find me again later..."
"Don't blame him..." Shishui said: "If you don't dislike me, you can come to talk to me at any time. Your future ambition is not here, so he may not be able to understand some things..."
"I know..." Itachi nodded, "He just wanted to be someone who watched the sunset."
"Well, he is not worse than others, but his mind is not on this..." Shishui couldn't help but smile, "At a young age, he actually said that he just wanted to be a person who watched the sunset. In fact, there is nothing wrong with it. He probably can bear much less pain from a ninja... Itachi..." Before Shishui could finish his big truth, he heard a crisp metal collision sound, and stood up suddenly and put out the fire in front of him. Itachi's reaction was not slow, and he ran away immediately.
"Itachi, the final exercise is about to begin..."
