Chapter 22 Prequel Mission 1: Two Successors of Mouth-to-mouth

After waiting for a long time, he finally got the bicycle. Zhenyan immediately found Itachi and invited him to go cycling together.

Itachi had never ridden a bicycle before, so at first Shingo rode the bicycle with Itachi sitting on the back, and the two of them rode around the village.

On the way, Shingon asked Itachi: "How is it, is it convenient to have a car?"

Itachi began to think seriously. In fact, for a ninja, the flexibility of a bicycle is still too poor, but he remembered that Shingon had said before that bicycles can solve the travel difficulties of ordinary people in the village, so he finally nodded and gave an affirmative answer.

Shingon was very happy and wanted Itachi to try the bicycle as well. At this moment, a strange man wearing a green tights and thick eyebrows ran up from behind the two of them. As he passed by, he looked at the bicycle curiously twice, then accelerated and passed by.

Zhenyan was stunned for a moment, and his first reaction was that as a cyclist, he could not lose to a runner, so he did not think much about it, and simply sped up and overtook the thick-browed weirdo.

Seeing that he was being overtaken, the man with thick eyebrows sped up again and surpassed Zhenyan.

Zhenyan's desire to win was aroused, and he continued to increase his speed...

In this way, the speed of Shingon and the thick-browed monster became faster and faster. During this period, Shingon also used chakra, and then he discovered that the bicycle could be driven by chakra. With chakra, the speed of the bicycle was greatly increased, comparable to a fully powered train.

However, the thick-browed man still did not get rid of him, and he kept chasing after Zhenyan, and even showed signs of overtaking him...

Zhenyan increased his chakra output, and for a moment the two of them were almost reduced to afterimages. The duel only stopped after they circled the village...

The weird man with thick eyebrows was breathing heavily, but his eyes were bright. He gave Zhenyan a thumbs up, showing his white teeth, and said with a smile: "You are very powerful. You are the second opponent I, Mighty Kai, have met!"

"Who is the first one?" Zhenyan suddenly became curious.

"Hatake Kakashi." Matt Guy put one hand on his waist and raised one hand, "But Kakashi has been on a mission recently, and we haven't had a match for a long time."

"It's Kakashi." Shingon got off the bike and said to Matt Kai, "I'm not as good as you. It's because of this bike that I can catch up with your speed."

"Bicycle?" Matkai looked at Zhenyan's bicycle curiously.

"It's a tool that can be used for transportation. I will ask a craftsman to make a batch of them later. This will make travel much more convenient for everyone." Zhenyan took the opportunity to promote it.

The test ride just now made Zhenyan find that the performance of this bicycle is simply perfect. He decided to order a batch for the village when he returns.

"Itachi, what do you think?"

Shingon turned around and asked Itachi who was sitting in the back, and then he found that Itachi's eyes were a little wandering, and his half-long hair was blown behind his head. Hearing his question, he staggered off the bicycle...

Zhenyan quickly supported him and asked with concern: "Itachi, are you carsick?"

Itachi: “…………”

On the way back, Itachi refused to sit in the back and took over the driving of the bicycle...

...

On the other hand, Minato Namikaze, who was searching in the Ninja World, discovered another suspicious relic. There were also some ancient runes that could not be cracked in the ruins, so he returned to Konoha again.

This time, Shingen happened to come for a visit. Shingen had asked Black Zetsu about the content of Namikaze Minato's investigation. According to Black Zetsu, those ruins should be the traces left by the Otsutsuki clan when they were active in the Ninja World thousands of years ago. For the Ninja World, the real crisis is those Otsutsuki clan members who may come again at any time.

Therefore, those investigations are very necessary, and because of the investigations, Minato Namikaze needs to leave the village for a long time, which just meets the conditions for Shingon to complete the task. It's just that Naruto is still young, and although many runes need Kushina's help to decipher, Kushina cannot leave for the time being.

This time when Minato Namikaze came back, in addition to giving the runes to Kushina for interpretation, he also attended a meeting of Konoha's senior management on the development of agricultural and sideline industries. The meeting discussed the issue of small-scale experiments. After discussion, it was finally decided to give the experiment to Uchiha.

Minato Namikaze was surprised at the changes in the village. The Third Hokage did not hide it from him and told him that it was Shingen who submitted the plan.

Minato Namikaze has always trusted Manabu, otherwise he would not have taken the issue of aliens seriously. He heard that the plan was written by Manabu, and he just wanted to know more about it, so he took the opportunity of coming back this time to invite Manabu to dinner.

Shingon readily agreed, but thinking that Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Mikoto had been very busy with experiments recently, and Itachi and Sasuke were often the only ones left at home, he asked if he could bring Itachi and Sasuke with him.

Kushina has a very good relationship with Uchiha Mikoto. After having Naruto, she often mentions Sasuke. However, due to the previous Nine-Tails incident, it was inconvenient for her to go out. Now that she has the opportunity, she is very happy that Itachi and Sasuke can come to visit.

When Itachi heard that he was going to visit the Fourth Hokage's home, he was a little worried because after the Nine-Tails incident, there had been rumors about the Uchiha in the village.

Zhenyan didn't take it seriously at all because he knew the rumors were all false.

"Speaking of which, Sasuke and Naruto are the same age. When they grow up, they will probably go to school together. They might become good friends." Shingon said to Itachi, "Why not let the two kids get to know each other now?"

Itachi also hoped that Sasuke could make friends and grow up to be an optimistic and cheerful child, and after being persuaded by Shingen, he agreed.

Shingon walked ahead with a familiarity, but this time was different from the past. As soon as he got near the Yondaime's house, two masked ANBU ninjas suddenly jumped out and asked, "Who are you?"

The area near the Fourth Hokage's house had always been heavily guarded by the Anbu. Shingon had been granted special permission and came here often, so the Anbu knew him. However, Itachi was coming here for the first time, so the Anbu on duty came out to inquire as a matter of routine.

Before Shingon could react, Kakashi walked out.

Kakashi asked the Anbu ninja to step back, and personally entered the room with Shingon, Itachi, and Sasuke who was held in Itachi's arms.

"Aunt Kushina, Uncle Minato, I'm here!" Shingen greeted them as soon as he entered the door.

Kushina came out with a smile, and the first thing she noticed was Sasuke being held by Itachi. She was a little surprised and said, "Sasuke has grown so big? The last time I saw him, he was still a small ball in Mikoto's arms..."

While saying this, Kushina gestured with her hands.

Itachi looked at his brother with a rare smile on his face.

"Has Sasuke started learning to speak?" Kushina said again, "Naruto has been uttering some syllables from time to time recently, as if he is learning to speak."

When it comes to this, Itachi's expression suddenly becomes stiff, because until now, Sasuke has been repeating the most, "Spare his life"...

Namikaze Minato also came out holding Naruto. Naruto was not shy at all. He looked at Itachi and Sasuke, whom he had never seen before, with his blue eyes curiously, and kept saying, "Tick...tick..."

"Are you calling daddy?" Zhenyan was surprised.

Namikaze Minato had a brilliant smile on his face, and it was obvious that he thought so too. When Naruto heard the voice of Shingon, he subconsciously looked over, opened his little mouth, and said to Shingon: "Tsk…tsk…huh…"

Mantra: “???” What kind of name is this?

At this moment, Sasuke also spoke: "The bull under your claws..."

Naruto seemed to have sensed something and turned to Sasuke: "Big fox mud..."

Sasuke then added: "The bull under your claws..."

Mingren continued: "Big fox mud..."

Sasuke came again: "The bull under the claws..."

For a moment, only the voices of the two children were left in the room, "Big fox mud" and "Claws under the cow" one after another...

Namikaze Minato's smile froze on his face, Kushina looked at Naruto in disbelief, and Itachi looked at Shingon. Somehow he always felt that this matter was related to Shingon...

Mantra: "..."

Zhenyan was also innocent. He just said a few words to the big fox, how come Mingren learned it? !
