My Life as Itachi's Crow

Chapter 161: The Three Ninja Prohibitions, Tsunade and Jiraiya Each Violated Two, Only Orochimaru's Conduct is Noble

If it were ten minutes ago, Uchiha Itachi would have definitely handed the little girl over to the on-duty Defense Department ninjas and had them send her back to her parents for a good lesson.

This little girl named Tenten had been talking non-stop for ten minutes. Midway through, she even asked the young ninja before her for a cup of water... This move was very honest.

"Lord Itachi, you don't look much older than me, why have you already become a Chunin? And the village often says Lord Itachi has killed a very powerful Jonin!"

"Lord Itachi, why don't you like wearing the clothes of the Defense Department and the Police Force? Didn't they say the Uchiha clan has its own uniform?"

"Lord Itachi, you're very handsome!"

"Lord Itachi, the crow you're raising is so fierce!"

Uchiha Itachi rubbed his forehead and smiled at the little girl, "You're not afraid of Kitahara now?"

"Eh? I'm still very scared!" The little girl shook her head, propping her chin with her fingers in thought, "Actually, the village has always said that the crow Lord Itachi raises is ugly and fierce, but I've never heard of it hurting anyone..."

The crow immediately shot down from Itachi's shoulder, "Caw!"

Little brat, believe it or not, if you keep talking like that... I'll hurt one for you to see right now! I can kill all of you in this village at any time!

Uchiha Itachi pulled Kitahara's wing and held it in his arms, feeling his headache worsen, "So smart..."

"Am I?" The little girl suddenly fell silent.

Kitahara looked at the suddenly quiet little girl with curiosity, broke free from Itachi's hands, and pecked at her hair buns.

The sun gradually rose higher, and the village became hotter and hotter. Uchiha Itachi took Kitahara and Tenten to hide in a shady spot.

Until a voice suddenly shouted loudly, "Lady Tsunade is back!"

The crowd instantly became clamorous!

The legendary Sannin represented Konoha's highest combat power. Orochimaru lived in seclusion and later defected, only having some prestige among his former subordinates. Jiraiya had always been an unreliable sort, often traveling abroad.

Tsunade was an exception; her status was noble enough.

Her identity as the First Hokage's granddaughter and a princess endowed her with Konoha's noblest bloodline. She was the orthodox successor of Konoha and also the most respected person by Konoha's villagers and ninjas, besides the Hokage.

As a woman, especially with her beautiful face and busty figure, it was a huge plus. Not to mention, she had rendered distinguished service in two Shinobi World Wars and was the most outstanding female ninja in Konoha's history.

At the same time, she was also the greatest medical ninja in the world.

The proposal to establish a medical ninja corps that she once made had been continued and recognized by other ninja villages, giving many ninjas hope of surviving wars. Even Konoha's medical system was established with her support, benefiting many ordinary villagers.

The little girl who had been quiet all along looked up in surprise and looked at the youth with excitement, "Lord Itachi, shall we go see Lady Tsunade?"

"Okay."

He adjusted the sleeping crow on the little girl's head to prevent it from falling off, and said seriously to the little girl, "You can become a great female ninja like Lady Tsunade, but don't learn Lady Tsunade's bad habits!"

"Eh? What bad habits?"

Tenten's question was really hard to answer.

When Uchiha Itachi saw Tsunade, she had just said goodbye to the escort squad from the Hidden Cloud Village, still muttering, "There's no need for them to escort me at all. Wouldn't it be better for that Raikage kid to just give me the escort mission fee in cash..."

"Luckily, the journey was very peaceful." Shizune awkwardly wiped the sweat from her face.

"Konoha is still so lively!" Tsunade nodded at a few acquaintances in the crowd, looking curiously at the Defense Department maintaining order on the street, "The welcoming ceremony seems quite grand!"

Shizune nodded, "Because the Hidden Cloud Village sent a formal diplomatic note, the news of Lady Tsunade's return to Konoha was spread."

"Tch, let's go!" The "川" character on her brow furrowed around the Yin Seal on her forehead. Tsunade sighed helplessly, "Let's go have a drink first, then go to the gambling house in the afternoon..."

Facts proved that bad habits developed from childhood were hard to completely get rid of, especially since the Hidden Cloud Village had been almost completely acquiescent to these small matters. The bad habits had relapsed even more severely. The Fourth Raikage had helped her pay off a lot of debts.

Later, hearing that Killer Bee often "ran into" Tsunade, the hot-tempered Raikage finally couldn't stand it anymore. Fearing this old woman would corrupt his sworn brother, he hastily sent her back to Konoha.

Tsunade's luck was really good. Wherever she went, there were people to help her pay off her debts, especially in Konoha. There was a third-rate writer who, apart from official business, had been waiting to publish his new book during this time, probably just to pay off the big sucker's debts.

The third-rate writer's disciple, leading a little girl, blocked her and Shizune's path, "Lady Tsunade, Lord Hokage and Teacher Jiraiya are still waiting for you at the Hokage Building..."

"Then let them wait!" Tsunade waved her hand dismissively, as unrestrained as ever, and chuckled lightly as she looked down, "Kid, lend me some money! I'll pay you back when I win!"

"It's better not to corrupt Kitahara." Uchiha Itachi shook his head and pointed to the crow on Tenten's head, "It just lost ten million ryo a few days ago..."

"It's here too! I've already decided to quit gambling..."

Tsunade's face was slightly unnatural. Seeing the napping crow, her voice gradually became smaller, "Then let's go see the old man and that idiot first!"

"Yes, then I'll take this lost little girl home first."

After a few simple words, Tsunade and Shizune left first. The crowd of onlookers, after getting a glimpse of Princess Tsunade's elegance, slowly dispersed…

The scene was as harmonious as if they were fake fans bought with money.

It was also possible that the monstrous strength of the blonde twin-tailed woman's punch back then was too intimidating. A single punch left no grass growing, so no one dared to offend her.

The little girl on the side was a true fan, her eyes shining the whole time, yet she didn't dare to speak to her idol.

After watching Tsunade leave.

"Lord Itachi, lend me some money!" Tenten grabbed Itachi's wrist and said in a childish voice, "I'll pay you back when I win!"

"Honestly..." Uchiha Itachi subconsciously covered his face, "First tell me where you live, and I'll take you home."

"Lord Itachi, lend me some money first!"

Uchiha Itachi ignored her, bought a cup of juice from the side of the road, and handed it to her, "Tenten, this isn't a good habit. This isn't what you should be learning."

"Then what should I learn?"

"..."

Uchiha Itachi didn't know what answer to give. According to his thinking, everyone had a path suitable for them. It was best if the little girl didn't learn anything from Tsunade.

On the contrary, someone beside them didn't hesitate to offer guidance, "Of course, you should learn Lady Tsunade's medical ninjutsu! After all, she is the greatest female ninja!"

Uchiha Itachi looked up and saw a thin figure suddenly standing beside him. He had a few scars on his face and a small goatee on his chin.

Shikaku Nara.

Captain of the Konoha Jonin class, one of the advisors to the Defense Department.

Beside him stood a little boy who looked very much like him, probably his son. The little boy held a cup of juice in his arms, curiously sizing up Uchiha Itachi.

"I just heard you have something to do, right?" Shikaku Nara chuckled lightly, "Do you want me to help you take her home? I happen to be on leave today."

"Okay..."

"Not okay."

The little girl beside him let go of Itachi's wrist, looked at Shikaku Nara and his son beside him, and said in a low voice, "I can go home by myself, no need to trouble you."

After speaking, Tenten turned and left on her own.

"Eh? I actually got rejected!" Shikaku Nara sheepishly touched his forehead, "Although I really hate trouble and all that..."

"Then I'll be going first, Advisor Nara."

Uchiha Itachi wasn't worried about Tenten either. After all, in this village, it was common for children to run around and play by themselves. Besides, Tenten was a year older than Sasuke.

And when he was four…

He had already witnessed the cruelty of war with his father.

And had even killed a ninja with his own hands.

That incident had left him confused for a long time. It wasn't until he met Kitahara that his knowledge grew more and more, and his understanding of human conflict became deeper... War and peace, wasn't it just about which village had more powerful individuals and more powerful ninjutsu?

Uchiha Itachi habitually touched his shoulder... Where's the crow I'm raising?

When Uchiha Itachi found Tenten, the little girl was sitting alone by a flower bed. She had wanted to share with her little friends that she had seen Lady Tsunade, but as a result, the crow on her head had scared everyone away.

Is this crow really that disliked in the village?

Tenten and the crow beside her stared at each other.

"Forget it, I'll just leave you here! That doesn't seem right either. If I do that, what if Lord Itachi can't find you!"

"But you're so ugly and fierce..." Tenten patted the dazed Kitahara, "Maybe Lord Itachi has wanted to throw you away for a long time?"

Uchiha Itachi: "..."

She can really talk... Kitahara can't even speak, yet the little girl can still chat with it!

The young ninja took a few steps forward and stood in front of Tenten, "I promised to lend you money, but I still have to say this isn't something you should learn. Don't borrow money from others; this is one of the three ninja prohibitions."

"Huh? What are the three ninja prohibitions?"

"Mm, you only need to worry about two of them. Borrowing money and drinking alcohol are both bad habits..." Uchiha Itachi nodded, silently adding in his heart, the Lady Tsunade you admire has already violated two of the three ninja prohibitions.

His teacher had also committed about two of them. The reason there was no money borrowing was probably because Jiraiya wasn't short of money!

Among the legendary Sannin, the only one who was still relatively self-disciplined was actually Orochimaru.

"Lord Itachi, you're slandering Lady Tsunade!" Tenten tried a last-ditch struggle, but the problem was, she had seen and heard it with her own eyes and ears…

"When you grow up, you'll understand!"

Uchiha Itachi sighed. Even if the little girl before him was intelligent, it was impossible for her to understand something as complex as emotions.

"I should be going now. I still have work to do." The young ninja looked at the still-dazed Tenten and habitually extended two fingers to tap her forehead, "Thank you for helping me take care of Kitahara!"

"Eh?"
