Hundred Years of Hokage

Chapter 59 The whereabouts of Itachi Uchiha

Konoha Hidden Village.

After the return of Class [-].

Hatake Kakashi and Haruno Sakura were admitted to Konoha Hospital, and Team [-] temporarily suspended the mission. Every day, in addition to taking care of Kakashi, Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto practiced at the training ground.

As for the mission report they were entrusted with this time, Jiraiya offered to report to the Third Hokage for them. However, after Jiraiya went to Hokage, Uzumaki Naruto never saw him again.

Room [-] of Konoha Hospital is the best location for both ventilation and sunlight. Hatake Kakashi lives here, and Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto, as his subordinates, occasionally come to accompany him.

Late at night, the wind was a bit cool.

Kakashi Hatake was lying on the hospital bed, looking at the windows wide open and the curtains flying in the wind. He muttered helplessly: "Those two guys only know how to open the windows for ventilation. Don't they know they will make the patient catch a cold?"

"After all, they are still young."

An old voice appeared in the ward.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi, wearing a Hokage hat and imperial robe, walked in, reached out and closed the window of the ward, and said in a low voice, "Those little guys seem to have grown up a lot when they went out to perform a mission this time! "

"Sandaime..."

Hatake Kakashi looked at his movements and replied in a low voice: "I have experienced several life-and-death battles between ninjas. If it is still exactly the same as when I was in the ninja school, then I, as a guidance jounin, would be derelict in my duty..."

"You did very well."

Sarutobi Hiruzen habitually wanted to pick up his pipe, but he also noticed the environment he was in, carefully put away the pipe, and said softly: "Now it seems that I originally assigned you to the seventh team to serve as the instructor jounin. correct."

"Master Hokage, do you have any orders?"

Hatake Kakashi struggled to sit up.

Because as Sarutobi Hiruzen, appearing in his ward in the middle of the night was definitely not just to visit the patient or to praise him, but maybe there was an order.

According to his guess, it was most likely related to the attack they encountered.

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not do what Kakashi guessed, but rather said kindly: "The Joint Chuunin Examination will begin soon... This time, you plan to let the three little guys from Class [-] Participate?"

"It would be unfair to them if Naruto and the others are not allowed to participate."

Hatake Kakashi said softly: "Those little guys, at least for the time being, you don't need to worry about their combat problems."

"Well, that's fine too."

The Third Hokage turned around, hesitated for a while before nodding and said: "This Chunin exam is especially important. Many daimyo lords and ninja village leaders will come to watch the finals. It is also an arms race in peacetime, and it is related to the village's future mission. quantity.

During this period of time, no one should interfere with the stability of the village, and too many troubles should not arise, and everything must wait until the Chunin exam is over.

Regarding the attack on you, you must not leak it to avoid causing panic in the village. I will restrain Danzo in the future. "

"..."

Hatake Kakashi sat up with difficulty, lowered his head and sighed softly: "Are you just restraining him..."

If it were any other ninja, if he had done what Danzo did, he would have been wanted as a traitor, or would have been directly executed, right?
"Danzo's problem is more complicated..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen also had a tangled face. He originally just asked Danzo to control Sasuke to cause Itachi Uchiha to appear, but in the end, the guy couldn't even do this little thing...

And he actually dared to do things privately...

Sarutobi Hiruzen's purpose has always been to obtain or destroy Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan from Uchiha Itachi through Uchiha Sasuke.

After Danzo comes back, no matter how he quibbles, there will be ten years of confinement waiting for him. I don’t know if the old guy can survive that long...

"I see."

Hatake Kakashi pulled up his quilt and said softly: "Hokage-sama, what if we fail to return to Konoha this time? It would be impossible for any other team to ambush the ninjas under Danzo-sama. Will you survive it?"

"..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was unable to answer.Hatake Kakashi looked at the ceiling of the hospital and sighed: "I will ask Naruto and the others to keep this matter secret."

Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke don't know what happened in the hospital yet.

After they practiced ninjutsu at the training ground all afternoon, the two of them who were supposed to go home separately at this time, now appeared in a warehouse.

Because this is the edge of Konoha Hidden Village, and their enemies come from a more dangerous place, the two of them knew that their enemies came from within the village, so they decided to act together.

Naruto Uzumaki looked at the active wild cats outside the warehouse and frowned in confusion: "This...is the place where your Uchiha clan buys ninja tools?"

"That's right, Granny Cat's ninja shop."

Sasuke nodded, looked at the cats around him, and continued: "Grandma Cat has a very close relationship with our Uchiha clan. I remember my father here mentioned that the ninjutsu developed by our clan should be stored here.

I want to come here to have a look and see if there are any training notes from Brother Zhishui. Back then, Brother Zhishui had the fastest teleportation technique, so he was called Shuishui Shisui.

I want to inherit Brother Shisui's will and kill Itachi Uchiha! "

At the end of the sentence, Uchiha Sasuke was murderous!
Since returning from Yu Ninja Village, he has already thought about his future path. While learning Thunder Release Ninjutsu and Hatake Swordsmanship from Hatake Kakashi, he is also searching for his family's ninjutsu, taijutsu and pupil techniques. .

Uchiha Shisui's instant body technique is also the most suitable for him to practice at present, and it is of great help to improve his strength.

Uchiha Sasuke glanced at Naruto next to him and secretly gritted his teeth. He would never be able to do anything like before when his teammates were injured...

You can’t lag behind your teammates in terms of strength either!
After the two people entered the warehouse, kittens suddenly gathered around them. They were not afraid of the human size at all, and stopped in front of Uchiha Sasuke one by one.

Sasuke put down a few cans to use as money for his trip. The kittens licked their paws and dispersed, looking very well-behaved.

"I used to come here to play when I was little."

Uchiha Sasuke explained casually: "Because Grandma Cat rarely allows them to go out, so only I can bring them some gifts..."

After he finished speaking, he patted a tabby cat at his feet and said, "Take us to Grandma Cat. I may have something to trouble her."

"Meow~"

The tabby cat raised its head and meowed, leading them towards the depths of the warehouse, where an old woman with a pipe in her mouth was sitting, counting money there.

After hearing the footsteps, the old woman raised her head in confusion: "Sasuke, what a coincidence. Are you here to buy ninja tools too?"

"Ok?"

"Itachi came here yesterday and bought a batch of shurikens..."

The old woman took a puff of her pipe and sighed softly, "Well, I'm relieved to see that child is still alive."

Because of the contract signed between the Uchiha clan and the Ninja Cat clan for generations, even if Uchiha Itachi slaughtered the entire clan and betrayed Konoha, he could still come and purchase ninja tools as agreed.

"Uchiha Itachi!"

When Uchiha Sasuke heard the man's name, his eyes suddenly turned red. He clenched his fists suddenly: "Mother Cat, do you know where he went?"

The old woman was very aware of the hatred between the two brothers, so she just shook her head and said, "Nearly a day has passed. He should have left Konoha long ago, right?"
