Chapter 51
Uchiha Tobi's mission for her was to assassinate one of the leaders of another country with Konan and stir up internal strife.
Then seize the opportunity to amass wealth and recruit capable individuals.
Lin Xue looked thoughtful. Is this what an assassin does?
With the idea of "since I'm here, I might as well make the best of it," Lin Xue decided to work hard for her current nominal boss.
Then, once I've earned enough money, I'll see if I can buy my freedom.
Konan looked at the beautiful girl dressed in Akatsuki robes, who appeared to be no more than sixteen or seventeen years old. Her expression was also childishly comical. It was Uchiha Yuki. The S-rank rogue ninja on the wanted list, her age was approximately twenty-five. She was skilled in genjutsu. A year ago, the entire Uchiha clan was wiped out, leaving only two missing members and the youngest son of the Uchiha clan head.
The two missing individuals were listed as S-rank rogue ninjas wanted by the five great nations, one of whom, Uchiha Itachi, had joined Akatsuki a year earlier.
Uchiha Yuki disappeared without a trace; no one knew her whereabouts or whereabouts.
It turns out, it was hidden by Ban.
"Hello, my name is Lin Xue." Lin Xue gave a smile to a senior colleague, which surprised Xiao Nan. Then she silently extended her hand and shook it back: "Just call me Xiao Nan."
After a brief handshake, Lin Xue felt a little shy.
She was just starting her career when she met such a beautiful older sister as her senior.
"Just call me Xiaoxue." At this point, Lin Xue held up her index finger and said, "By the way, you'd probably be more familiar with the name Uchiha Xue, right?"
Xiao Nan was silent for a moment, then she nodded.
Lin Xue sat on the vehicle Xiao Nan had created using her paper magic, a paper eagle that could fly in the air.
The paper eagle's back was large enough to accommodate two people. Lin Xue stood on it, maintaining her balance through the chakra attached to the soles of her feet.
Sure enough, I didn't feel any loss of balance at all.
Lin Xue was somewhat surprised, while Xiao Nan stood silently beside her, watching her every move.
She's quite different from the rumored "Konoha Snow Princess"... She looks like a playful sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl.
Xiao Nan withdrew her gaze and controlled the paper eagle to fly a thousand meters above the ground.
It will take at least half a day to get to our destination. Due to the limited amount of chakra, we will probably need to find a village inhabited by civilians to resupply along the way.
A gentle breeze swept through, lifting Lin Xue's long hair. Perhaps because of the recent downpour, the sky was an unbelievably clear, vibrant blue, carrying a hint of coolness. Lin Xue felt the sky's blue resembled the eyes of an old friend, and she tilted her head. However, she didn't know anyone with blue eyes, but she quickly put the thought aside.
"How old is Sister Nan this year?"
"Twenty-six."
Lin Xue looked at the scenery ahead and exclaimed.
Xiao Nan's gaze fell on her surprised expression.
"I'm only a year younger than Sister Xiaonan!"
Xiao Nan then looked down and nodded, saying, "You look very young."
Whether it's personality, appearance, or physique.
The mission went very smoothly, even Lin Xue was somewhat incredulous. She killed people without the slightest hesitation.
Lin Xue, who had thought she would need to do a lot of mental preparation, breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Nan watched as Lin Xue pulled out the samurai sword that had been inserted into the heart of the mission target, the tip of the sword dripping blood as it fell to the ground.
The girl with her long hair tied up seemed troubled; what should she do next?
Xiao Nan formed hand seals and used paper blades to decapitate the target. The fat, large-eared head rolled onto the storage scroll.
She put the head of the mission target into the scroll, and Xiao Nan rolled up the scroll and put it into Xiao Pao.
"Go back, Snow."
Xue followed behind Xiao Nan with a shocked expression, which made Xiao Nan feel a little uncomfortable.
It was as if they had a little sister with a million questions. They took a short rest in a small village in the Land of Grass.
The two of them wandered around in their Akatsuki robes. Konan first went to a shop that sold ninja tools to replenish her supplies of explosive tags.
"Sister Xiaonan, here you go!"
Under the late summer sun, Lin Xue handed out a string of three-colored dumplings that she didn't know where she had bought them from. Xiao Nan was a little dazed by her smile.
Isn't this the smile Yahiko sought? A smile protected by a carefree country, free from war and strife?
Xiao Nan took the string of dumplings and took a bite.
Lin Xue bit the dumpling, bent down slightly to look at her, and smiled like a beautiful black kitten.
When Lin Xue followed Xiao Nan back to the Akatsuki organization, she was still talking to Xiao Nan on her own.
They didn't even notice the people passing by.
Xiaopao's sleeve brushed against Itachi's hand, bringing a cool breeze.
The faint scent of lilacs in the air was the only aroma that could help him fall asleep peacefully.
Itachi turned his head and only saw Konan's figure.
Is it just my imagination?
How can someone who is already dead still be alive in the world?
"Itachi-san, what's wrong?" Kisame asked.
Itachi shook his head and said, "It's nothing, let's go."
-
Lin Xue, who was instantly brought into the Kamui space by the ethereal transformation of the kite, almost lost her footing.
Her weightless body slumped against Yuan, but the man reached out and caught her, preventing her from falling completely into his arms.
"kite?"
Lin Xue looked up at him with her almond-shaped eyes. She then noticed that he had changed his hairstyle; it was a very neat and clean buzz cut.
Obito took in her expression and said, "You did a great job on the mission."
Even if Lin Xue knows that her boss is praising her only to make her work harder for him.
Even so, she couldn't help but let the corners of her mouth turn up slightly.
"It's Yuan's weapon that's so sharp..." Lin Xue was very impressed with the forging of this samurai sword during the time she and Xiao Nan were on a mission.
It's as if she can kill anyone she points at, and she wields the knife with such ease that it's as if the knife was born with her.
However... when I used this knife to kill someone, I felt a faint urge to vomit.
Lin Xue tried using a different weapon, and the same feeling disappeared.
"However, you are not yet a member of Akatsuki. Avoid appearing in front of other members. I will try my best to have you carry out missions with Konan."
"Am I an unofficial member?" Lin Xue asked curiously, "Like a kite?"
Obito paused for a moment, then replied, "You can think of it that way."
“However, there are no missions for you during this period. You can stay in your original room and have White Zetsu give you a refresher course on the composition of the Five Great Nations, the establishment of Konoha Village, and the history of the Uchiha clan.” Obito paused here, “And, next time, you and other members will be assigned to a recruitment mission.”
Lin Xue lowered her head with a hint of resentment; she had to study history even in this other world.
She nodded, and Obito reached out and placed his hand on her head. Lin Xue raised her eyes slightly.
He said, "Next time we meet, I'll bring you some local specialties."
Lin Xue's eyes lit up instantly: "Okay!"
-
"So, are Itachi Uchiha and Yuki Uchiha aunt and nephew?"
Lin Xue raised her hand and asked.
Bai Jue was wearing a teacher's uniform, and his indistinct features were framed by black-rimmed glasses.
It pointed to a diagram of the Uchiha clan's relationships before their extermination, holding a piece of chalk, and gave Lin Xue a thumbs up.
“Not bad! Very clever. From the perspective of clan relations, that can indeed be considered, but the blood relationship between the two is very weak, and Uchiha Yuki’s generation is a branch of a branch.”
Lin Xue looked enlightened and quickly took notes.
"In other words, if these two people were to marry, they wouldn't be considered close relatives."
White Zetsu: "Yes, yes."
Lin Xue raised her hand: "Teacher, teacher. I have another question. Who is the only surviving child from the Uchiha clan?"
White Zetsu immediately showed a disappointed expression, pointing the small piece of chalk directly at the name circled below Uchiha Itachi.
Uchiha Sasuke.
“Uchiha Sasuke was only seven years old on the night of the Uchiha Clan Massacre. He was Itachi Uchiha's younger brother and also the youngest son of the clan leader.” White Zetsu shrugged helplessly. “You know, behind every clan massacre lies an unspeakable secret. The only child who survives often carries a heavy burden. In a sense, this child was not only the last remaining descendant of the Uchiha clan in Konoha, but also the last Uchiha clan leader, right?”
"The heavy burden of revitalizing the Uchiha clan rests on Uchiha Sasuke's shoulders."
"If he wasn't blinded by revenge."
Lin Xue tilted her head. Sasuke?
Uchiha Sasuke?
"What is the relationship between Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha?"
For no apparent reason, a name popped into her mind: Naruto Uzumaki. Lin Xue unconsciously stroked her chin.
These are two very familiar names, but I couldn't figure them out no matter how hard I tried.
"Relationship? There's no relationship, is there?" White Zetsu cupped his face in his hands, then wrote the four characters "Naruto Uzumaki" under the blackboard and dotted it with chalk: "Speaking of Naruto Uzumaki, he is the Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails. He is also one of the Jinchuriki we will capture in the future."
Nine-tailed fox? Lin Xue fell silent; she remembered.
"Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue?" Bai Jue moved closer to Lin Xue, and Lin Xue subconsciously threw a punch.
Bai Jue was slammed against the wall, and he finally managed to get down, dusting himself off.
"Xiaoxue, did something come to mind?"
Lin Xue blinked and said rather confidently, "Bai Jue, why are you suddenly so close to me? You scared me."
White Zetsu was speechless, but he dared not attack someone Obito cherished.
Moreover, he couldn't even beat Uchiha Yuki when she had lost her memory, let alone Uchiha Yuki with her memories restored.
After the daily White Zetsu class ended, Lin Xue was the only one left in the room.
Lin Xue remembered—the other world she was in.
The story revolves around Naruto Uzumaki, while Sasuke Uchiha is the handsome, strong, and tragic second male lead.
Because in her previous life she had always focused on her studies and wasn't interested in these stories.
Therefore, she learned about it from her roommate and watched a few episodes with her roommate.
She had no idea about the plot; she only vaguely remembered something about Chunin Exams.
Lin Xue: ......
So, her original self was most likely one of the villains?
