You Look Even Less Like a Good Person
The two men, one tall and one short, suddenly appearing in this nearly abandoned training ground in the distance were already suspicious enough.
At this moment, their actions left Uchiha utterly perplexed.
As Itachi watched helplessly as the blond-haired boy smashed the large rock in his hand down on the young man's head, his pupils contracted slightly.
It wasn't because he was afraid or couldn't bear to see the bloodshed, but because he witnessed something that he found unbelievable.
A rock weighing over ten kilograms—let alone someone deliberately lifting it up and smashing it over someone's head.
Even a slight bump can injure an ordinary person.
In mild cases, it may result in skin damage and superficial injuries; in severe cases, it may lead to fractures and flesh lacerations.
This kind of operation, where someone carries a rock and smashes it against your head, is something Uchiha said he had never seen in all his years of life.
What surprised him even more was that the young man was completely unharmed after taking that blow.
He even touched his own head and chatted and laughed with the blond boy.
"Some kind of martial art that can enhance the body's defense?"
Itachi's eyes were serious as he stared intently at Lin Yan and Naruto in the distance.
He also obtained information about the secret techniques of other ninja villages while carrying out his missions.
I learned that some village ninjas would deliberately train their bodies to enhance their physical abilities.
They can even use ninjutsu like Earth Release or Lightning Release to enhance their physical defense, achieving invulnerability or even increasing their attack power.
Lin Yan's current behavior made him realize this.
"Brother, what are they doing?"
Sasuke looked up at Itachi with curiosity once again and asked him a question.
"They seem to be training..."
Itachi finally snapped out of his daze, exchanged a glance with Sasuke, and then answered.
Is there such a training method?
Although Sasuke is only six years old, he is not stupid.
Anyone could see that something was wrong with what just happened.
Itachi shook his head. "Sasuke, wait here for me for a while."
He had never seen Lin Yan in the village.
But I had heard of that blond boy.
In Konoha Village, almost everyone says that the child is the incarnation of the "Nine-Tails Fox".
"If I remember correctly, his name is Naruto Uzumaki..."
As Itachi pondered this, he glanced again at Naruto and Lin Yan in the distance.
Now a strange man appears here and makes contact with Naruto Uzumaki.
Furthermore, they used strange physical training methods.
This situation is highly suspicious.
As a member of Konoha's ANBU, Itachi felt it was necessary to find out who the other party was.
"Elder brother..."
Upon hearing this, and seeing Itachi preparing to walk towards the two people in the distance, Sasuke couldn't help but take a step forward, hesitating to speak.
"Don't worry, Sasuke."
Itachi turned around, affectionately patted his younger brother's head, and then walked resolutely toward Lin Yan and Naruto.
At this moment, Lin Yan was showing Naruto her unharmed head.
"Are you sure you used your full strength just now, Naruto?"
Lin Yan smiled.
"Wow, Uncle Lin, that's amazing! How did you do that? This ' Tekkai ' is incredible! It's practically... invulnerable to blades and spears!"
"If I learn this, I won't have to be afraid of enemy attacks anymore, right?"
Naruto had just finished speaking when, before Lin Yan could reply, he heard footsteps approaching.
Subconsciously, he turned his head to look to his left and saw a black-haired boy, probably in his teens, walking towards him and Lin Yan.
Naruto blinked his big blue eyes twice, looked at Lin Yan strangely, and then at the black-haired boy.
At this moment, Lin Yan also turned her head to look at Uchiha Itachi.
He smiled without saying a word, watching the other person approach.
"I don't think I've seen you in Konoha before. May I ask who you are?"
Itachi stared at Lin Yan and asked directly.
"You're quite polite... I thought you were going to come and beat me up."
Lin Yan smiled.
As he spoke, he took out the contract he had signed when he rented the house and handed it to Uchiha Itachi.
"I am a wanderer who has traveled far and wide. After arriving in your Konoha Village, I found the scenery here to be beautiful, the environment pleasant, and the public security excellent."
So I plan to stay here for a while.
Upon hearing this, Itachi took the contract from Lin Yan and began to examine it.
"A wandering traveler...?"
He saw Lin Yan's signature on the contract.
However, this does not absolve Lin Yan of the suspicion that she might be a spy from an enemy country.
Seeing Itachi's doubtful look, Lin Yan smiled and said, "You don't believe me, do you? I was vetted by your people before entering Konoha Village."
"They entered legally through the main gate."
Naruto, standing to the side, kept watching Uchiha and Lin Yan with curiosity.
Upon hearing this, he immediately nodded in agreement. "It's true, Uncle Lin is a good person!"
"But you, you don't seem like a good person to me..."
Naruto stared at Itachi and said.
"..."
Itachi glanced at Naruto indifferently, then put the contract away and handed it back to Lin Yan.
He knew that if the other party was indeed a spy sent by an enemy country, directly questioning them would definitely not yield any valuable clues.
Furthermore, the other party explicitly stated that they had obtained the village's permission to enter Konoha.
This allowed him to move around the village more openly and legitimately.
To determine whether this man has any issues, you need to observe him discreetly.
Thinking of this, Itachi's expression softened.
"My name is Itachi."
"Our Konoha Village welcomes tourists from all over the world to visit and shop, provided you don't come here to do bad things."
"If you need any help, please feel free to come to me."
As Itachi handed the contract to Lin Yan, he also took the initiative to introduce himself, as if he were laying out his unpleasant thoughts upfront.
"Ah, thank you so much for your kindness, young man."
"I'll come to you for help if I need it."
Lin Yan nodded and put her lease agreement away.
He smiled and looked at Naruto again, "So, Naruto, are you planning to continue training today?"
Two uninvited guests suddenly appeared in the training ground, and Itachi even questioned him as if he were a spy.
Although it didn't have any significant impact, Lin Yan didn't want to stay there any longer.
Although Naruto was young, he understood everything perfectly.
He glanced at Itachi with a hint of displeasure, his eyes seeming to complain that the other had disturbed his training.
"Uncle Lin, let's find another place to continue practicing!"
"I'm really curious to know how you managed to be so invulnerable just now!"
Naruto said to Lin Yan.
