Chapter 9 Unsung Hero
"Not bad, you are making rapid progress, you are indeed a genius."
Zhisui didn't know when he appeared behind Mirror Man, holding his hands, seeing everything that Mirror Man had just done. .
"No, not as good as Brother Zhisui."
The name of a genius also depends on who he compares with. Compared with his classmates, Kageto is naturally considered a genius, but if he is compared with Shisui, he is far behind. Not good, at least, that's what it seems for now.
"You're really good at talking. I remember, when I met Itachi once, I complimented him on his ability. His answer was the same as yours." For some reason, Shisui always likes to
associate Kaguya with Itachi . Together.
"I am not Brother Itachi, and Brother Itachi is not me."
In the past half month, Mirror Man has not looked for Itachi once. After that conversation with Shisui, Mirror Man discovered that he had ignored someone before. The fact is that he and Itachi have different ideas! Their paths are different. As a time traveler, Kagami cannot kill the family that gave birth to him for a Konoha that doesn't have much sense of belonging. His roots are in Uchiha, not Konoha.
Kaguya and Itachi can become friends, even very close friends, but they can never become like-minded friends, at least not until the Uchiha clan is exterminated.
When Mirror Man says that he is not Itachi, he is not referring to his appearance and behavior, but to his philosophy. Kagami reminds Shisui that he will not "become Itachi" and will not put Konoha before Uchiha.
"Of course I know, you are not Itachi."
Kagami misunderstood what Shisui meant. In fact, Shisui was just making a general impression.
"By the way, there are no classes at school tomorrow, right?"
"Well, there are no classes."
"So, are you interested in learning something from me tomorrow?"
Jingren answered without hesitation.
"Of course I'm interested."
"Then, I will come to you tomorrow. You can wait for me at home."
"Okay, Brother Zhisui."
After chatting for a few words, Zhisui left. On this day, Zhisui did not As usual, stay at the training ground to teach Mirror Man.
The Mirror Man stayed alone, practiced the speed and nature of the seals for a while, and then went back.
the next day.
In a forest.
Shisui handed Kamento a wooden branch.
"What I want to teach you today is ninja tracking and counter-tracking. This is a required course for you in the future. Now I can teach you a little bit, hahaha. After all, that is not what a ninja school student should do. For study."
Mirror Man took the branch and looked at it carefully.
"This branch has been stepped on by someone. Someone passed by here." "
Then, can you know how long ago that person passed by here?"
Of course the Mirror Man couldn't do it.
"No, I can't do that,"
Shisui corrected.
"No, it's not that you can't do it, it's that you can't do it yet. With such a clue, we can only know that someone has passed by here. If you want to know more, you need to look for other clues. As long as you find the clue Enough, and you'll be able to know what you want to know. Let's go."
With that said, Shisui walked forward, and Mirror Man followed immediately.
This is a forest, surrounded by trees and a lot of weeds on the ground. Some clues will become very difficult to find in this kind of place, but the
mirror man squinted slightly.
"On the contrary, some clues, in this kind of scene, will be very conspicuous, and there will be some traces that cannot even be covered up."
Shisui clapped his hands and laughed.
"Yes, you are right, Mirror Man. So, what is the most conspicuous mark in this scene?"
Zhisui asked Mirror Man as he walked forward.
Mirror Man had already thought about how to answer and spoke immediately.
"That is damage or disturbance to the scene."
The mirror man walked to a weed. At first glance, those weeds were normal. However, if you walk closer and look carefully, you will find that some of the weeds are , the body was bent half way, and even worse, it was firmly attached to the ground.
"There are a lot of weeds here, so if any escapees pass by, they will inevitably destroy the original appearance of these weeds."
Zhi Shui kept nodding, and waited until the mirror man finished speaking before Zhi Shui spoke. .
"Mirror Man, your mind is very quick and you can quickly judge what clues a fugitive would easily leave behind in this kind of scene. However, you overlooked one thing."
Mirror Man was stunned and asked.
"What?"
Shisui pointed at his head.
"That's what the fugitive thinks. You see, there are so many weeds in this forest. It's too obvious. It's so obvious that the fugitive can't possibly not know that if he passes by the ground, he will definitely leave traces. So, Mirror Man , if you were a fugitive, what would you do?"
Mirror Man was stunned and thought for a while, but didn't know what to do. But the next second, he accidentally glanced at a tree from the corner of his eye, and Mirror Man suddenly figured it out. .
"It's a tree! If I were a fugitive, since I know that walking on the ground will inevitably leave traces, then I will step on the trees and run!" Mirror
Man almost forgot, this is the world of Naruto, not the real world, everyone Jumping between branches is a common thing. In this case, why should the fugitives walk on the ground?
Shisui nodded.
"Yes, this is very common sense. The clue you just found should be disguised by a fugitive. This kind of simple disguise is usually used to deceive some ninjas who are performing tracking missions for the first time." Mirror Man was a little embarrassed
. , but still expressed his thoughts seriously.
"But, Brother Zhisui, will the fugitive really walk in another direction from the ground, making what we think is a false clue turn out to be a real clue?"
Zhisui chuckled.
"What you said is possible, but you have to understand one thing. Jumping on the branches is faster than simply running on the ground. As a fugitive, no matter what tricks he uses, his ultimate goal is It is to escape the pursuit as soon as possible! Under such circumstances, the choice of jumping on the branches is naturally far better than running on the ground."
Mirror Man frowned, as if he wanted to say something else.
"But"
Zhisui stretched out his hand to stop Kagami's words.
"You don't have to think so much. I know that the fugitives may take advantage of our idea and keep running away. But Mirror Man, you have to know that in this world, everything is possible and nothing is absolute. If you want If you consider all possibilities, do you have enough time? You know, the fugitive is running away every second, and you need to catch him as soon as possible. Secondly, even if you consider all possibilities, you Do you have enough manpower? After eliminating all possibilities, how many people need to be sent? Is it possible that, in order to catch one person, does the village need to send half of the ninjas? The best way is to select one or a few ninjas that you think are
possible The most dangerous escape route, in this way, the tracking mission can be completed as soon as possible."
Mirror Man nodded and accepted the instruction.
"Brother Zhisui, I know, it's my fault."
Zhisui laughed.
"No, you're not wrong. If you didn't make a mistake, I would be troubled. In that case, I wouldn't know what to teach you. It's because you made a mistake that I have something to teach you, hahaha. Okay. Okay, let's continue."
Next, Zhisui took Mirror Man forward and taught Mirror Man a lot of tracking and anti-tracking knowledge.
In the evening, Shisui and Kagami sat by a river, lit a fire and grilled fish.
There was a trace of nostalgia in Shisui's eyes.
"Do you know? On the day when I taught Itachi how to track and counter-track as a ninja, we sat by this river in the evening and ate fish. I really missed it. Guess, Itachi at that time was so angry when he saw me. What's the first thing you say when you start a fire to grill fish?"
Mirror Man said helplessly.
"I can't guess"
Shisui laughed.
"Haha, he said at that time, [The textbook says that it is strictly forbidden to use fire when camping at night, but if you do this, does it mean there is something hidden?] It's so cute. At that time, I just wanted to eat fish with him. Where could I If I have to tell you a hidden secret, there is only one, that is, I felt very good at the time. It was unexpectedly relaxing to eat with someone who could relax me. I was just being lazy, and it is the same now, so you Don't ask me the same question again. Hahaha."
Mirror Man asked unexpectedly.
"Brother Zhisui, isn't there anyone who can make you relax and eat?"
Zhisui smiled gently.
"Yes, you and Itachi."
Mirror Man was silent for a while, then spoke cautiously.
"What about the others?"
Zhisui moved his gaze slightly downward and spoke a little lonely.
"I'm in ANBU, Mirror Man, do you know what ANBU is?"
Mirror Man instantly understood, what is ANBU?
"The Assassination Tactics Special Forces, or ANBU for short."
Shisui laughed at himself.
"Yes, in a unit whose purpose is assassination, how can I dare to relax completely?"
Jingren said anxiously, not even daring to relax while eating. Isn't this kind of life very torturous?
"But, in that case, why, Zhishui, you can retreat completely"
Zhishui interrupted Jingren.
"No, Mirror Man, you know, what I want to be is an unknown hero who secretly protects peace. Anbu may not be that good now, but I, I, you can laugh at me, maybe I am overestimating my capabilities, I I hope to change the current situation. ANBU do not assassinate for the sake of assassination, they must assassinate for the sake of peace! I want to change it! I know that the ANBU cannot be called the unsung heroes who secretly protect peace, but because of this, I just want to change it!
If everyone flees ANBU, then who will change it?
Don't worry, even if I can't change it, I won't let it change me. Shisui will always be Shisui, Shisui The person you want to be will always be an unknown hero who secretly protects peace. This will never change. After all, I am your big brother, so I can’t be embarrassed." Chapter 674, facing Danzo’s roots,
Zhizhi Shui said that he believed that only those who guard peace in secret can be called ninjas.
