As the night darkened, Izumi walked alone in Konoha's street.
At this ti, she has already changed the Anbu's uniform and wore a loose-fitting dress.
When she was halfway through, Izumi suddenly stopped.
"Dango, um, let's eat that today."
Izumi muttered to herself, and then her face turned slightly red, as it seed that she is thinking of sothing.
But soon, this shyness faded, and it turned into a kind of loneliness.
After Izumi walked into the store and bought so dango, she did not eat in the store, but walked to a small lake.
Walking through the long boardwalk, Izumi sat at the end.
Her feet were swaying in mid-air, and the clear lake was underneath her.
Under the moonlight, the girl's face reflected into the water, like a colorful peach blossom.
Taking out a dango from the paper bag, Izumi opened her, and bite them slowly, and a sweet and greasy feeling wandered in her mouth.
After she chews it for a few tis, Izumi swallowed it.
Releasing a long sigh, Izumi murmured: "It's really sweet. I don't know why Itachi always likes to eat this kind of food. He's really like a child."
After Izumi said that, she couldn't help but laugh as she rembered Itachi's appearance at the beginning.
They were only six or seven years old at that ti. Izumi and her friends were playing when they t Itachi who was thinking about life beside the morial Stone.
Compared to his peers who are still playing Shinobi gas, Itachi is undoubtedly an eccentric kid.
With just a glance, Izumi felt that this boy was special.
Since then, the fate between Itachi and Izumi started.
When Izumi thought of the scene that day, she couldn't help but reveal a smile.
'It's so good to be young.'
Later, the two went to the Academy, and their exchanges gradually increased.
Izumi found that her own thoughts seed to never keep up with Itachi.
Itachi always seed to be saying sothing weird, and so of the words are sothing even Izumi right now can't understand.
However, Izumi knew that Itachi was really a very, very kind person.
That day, when Izumi bought the last dango, Itachi looked at it eagerly, but he did not show the slightest emotion of wanting it.
It was the first ti she talked with Itachi for a long ti.
It was the first ti she knew that Itachi liked to eat dango and it was also the first ti she saw Itachi showing a childlike expression.
That smile caused Izumi to sink deeply.
From then on, this figure entered Izumi's heart and never left.
Later, Izumi confessed to Itachi, but unfortunately, Itachi did not respond to her, and left in a panic.
After that, there is no after.
Itachi has defected.
He betrayed the Uchiha Clan, and also betrayed Konoha.
But Izumi didn't believe it.
She didn't believe that the gentle Itachi would do such a thing.
Therefore, she wants to know the truth.
But how can it be so easy to know the truth?
Therefore, Izumi chose to join Anbu.
But Anbu's requirents for strength are very high.
Unless there are special circumstances, at least tokubetsu Jōnin-level strength is needed to enter the Anbu.
Izumi at that ti was not strong enough.
Therefore, she worked hard in training, and two years later, she finally entered the Anbu.
But this is only the first step.
Izumi wanted to know Itachi's past, and wanted to know what was hidden behind his strong back.
She also understands that if she wants to know the truth, she must never investigate it openly.
Because that is a taboo.
Izumi keenly discovered that in the Anbu, no one would ntion Itachi.
Izumi once wanted to inquire about it from others, but in the end, she ended up with no answer.
Later, she learned that Konoha's Anbu Commander, Hatake Kakashi, issued a prohibition that no one was not allowed to ntion Itachi.
So, she chose to transfer to the sixth team.
Because this is the place where Itachi has stayed, and it is also the place where she can get in touch with Kakashi the most.
Perhaps here, she will find new clues.
"Itachi, where are you now?"
Izumi swallowed the last dango and looked at the sky full of stars, not knowing which one was the one that Itachi saw now.
Sowhere in the mountains of the Land of Earth, Itachi also looked at the stars in the sky while holding a bamboo skewer in his hand.
"Itachi-san, why haven't you rested yet?" Kisa who was beside him asked.
"I am thinking about so things. You should sleep first."
Itachi said, and then he put the bamboo skewer into his robe.
When Kisa saw this, he didn't say anything, as it wasn't the first day Kisa partnered with Itachi.
Itachi has always been so quiet, unless he is in the fight where he speak a little, otherwise he will almost never speak.
Kisa didn't understand how many secrets were in Itachi's mind.
He just knows that Itachi's mind was far beyond his guesswork.
In Kisa's view, Itachi is a mysterious and terrifying person.
For Kisa, it is an honor to be a teammate with such a person.
Kisa leaned against the stone wall and closed his eyes.
Recently, they have been looking for Yonbi's Jinchūriki, so they were quite exhausted.
Seeing Kisa closed his eyes, Itachi touched the bamboo skewer in his robe, and a slight smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.
Itachi then stood up and looked at direction of Konoha.
He...is a little hosick.
There are his friends, relatives, and lovers there, and he has been away for too long.
"Soon."
Izumi was in daze by the lake, not even noticing that on a tree not far from the lake, a silver-white haired figure was standing.
After a long ti, Kakashi sighed softly and then turned around and left.
Kakashi walked on the streets of Konoha, feeling a little lost for a while.
There were not many people at this ti, and the door of the shop around gradually closed.
The lights dimd and the entire Konoha slowly began to beco quiet.
Kakashi looked at the street that was gradually becoming silent alone.
But not long after, Kakashi saw that the familiar shop was still open.
Ichiraku Ran.
The familiar scent evoked Kakashi's mories, and his stomach grumbled at this mont.
Kakashi was taken aback for a mont...
He rembered that he was busy with his official duties before, and he seed to have forgotten to even eat dinner.
He laughed at himself as this kind of thing happened too many tis.
He is always busy and forgets about so trivial things like eating.
Seeing that Ichiraku Ran has not closed yet, Kakashi walked in.
"Welco."
Hearing soone coming in, Teuchi greeted the custor without even raising his head.
"Hello, Teuchi-san."
Hearing the familiar voice, Teuchi raised his head and looked at the familiar face.
"Oh, it's you Kakashi. Why did you co so late?"
"Of course it's because I missed Teuchi-san's ran."
Kakashi smiled as his eye turned crescent. No one knows how many emotions are hidden in that expression.
"Hahaha, I know you brat has taste. Please wait for a mont, I'll make it for you."
Kakashi sat in the chair, and it didn't take long before the ran was done.
Seeing the steaming ran, he rembered that no matter where it is, there will always be a trace of warmth.
Kakashi picked up the chopsticks and said with a smile: "Then, thanks for the food!"
