This Uchiha Itachi is very lonely

But Uchiha did not find his body in the Kannabi Bridge.So although Obito Uchiha is defined as "death", "disappearance" is also possible.

Even Hatake Kakashi, a foreigner who had transplanted Sharingan, was also on the traitor's suspicion list.

However, the probability of Kakashi acting as a eucalyptus is very low. After all, it has never been possible for foreigners to promote the evolution of Sharingan.

And Hatake Kakashi has no possibility of killing his master and his wife.After all, with the tempers of Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina, they have always treated their apprentices well.

Similarly, Obito Uchiha is defined as "death".But the clansmen who are not dead, the probability of committing a crime is also very low.

His character is analyzed in the intelligence news as "a naive and optimistic idiot who values ​​his companions". If such a person is alive, he will probably rush back to Konoha regardless of his own safety and enjoy the hard-won title of "hero".

"arrive……"

At this time, the groom's hesitant voice sounded from outside, "Guests, your identities..."

From the fact that the masked man in black got into the carriage, he could probably guess that the identities of these two guests might not be suitable for him.

Sarutobi Hiruzen replied kindly: "Don't worry, just drive the carriage."

As he spoke, he raised the gauze curtain that covered the carriage window.

The inner city of Kyoto is completely different from the outer area, which is really surrounded by towering and majestic walls.

Beside the huge and simple city gate, the well-dressed defenders are observing the flow of people entering and leaving the city, while accepting the "city entry fee" they handed over.

Their demeanor is very serious, not rude, whether it is a businessman who obediently handed over the entrance fee, or a family member of an official with a calm face who should be a city resident based on their clothes, they all have the same attitude.Politely ask the reason for entering the city, and politely accept the fee for entering the city.

However, these defenders seem to be ordinary people, not ninjas.

Itachi's eyes were very sharp, and he followed the window of the carriage, and he saw the city entrance fees held in the hands of those people at a glance, and the amount was definitely quite a lot.

It seems that all businessmen who can live in the inner city of Kyoto or do business are successful people with small assets.

Just the entrance fee this time and again blocked those who yearned for the city of Kyoto.

"Stop..."

As soon as the carriage approached the city gate, it was quickly stopped.

Under the gentle gaze of the groom, a soldier in armor took a step forward and asked with a serious face, "Sorry to bother you, we need to confirm your identities and the purpose of entering the city..."

"I am the Third Hokage."

After the defender calmly said the mechanized words, the response he got was that his outstretched palm and serious face stopped.

And even the groom who was hesitating and driving the carriage froze.

"I'm very sorry, please show me your identity proof."

Afterwards, the tone of the guarding officers and soldiers broke away from the mechanized words, and they stepped back half a step respectfully and fearfully, looking at the old man in the carriage from the window, who was smiling kindly, "This, this is necessary. The process, Hokage-sama, please forgive me."

In addition to his face, his tone of voice was equally uneasy and tense.

"It doesn't have to be like this. I'm very pleased that you can be so dedicated."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi kindly handed out the letter with the daimyo's seal from his bosom, "This is the reply letter sent by daimyo after receiving my name card."

"This should be enough as a proof of identity, right?"

"Okay, I need to ask Shangguan for instructions to confirm."

The soldiers of the guard stretched out their hands tremblingly, took the letter, and then he quickly explained, "We will arrange the guard of honor for entering the city and the notification of the daimyo as soon as possible."

"It's a long journey, I don't know... Are you interested in tasting the special food and wine of our capital city?"

During the transmission of the message, Konoha Hokage cannot always be allowed to wait at the gate of the city. Regardless of the identity is true or false, respect is a must.

"The guard of honor for entering the city is unnecessary."

Sarutobi Hiruzen rejected the so-called preparations for entering the city. He didn't want to be like those princes and nobles who had to wait for a bunch of officials to kneel and thank him when entering the city, roads were closed, and he sat in a car to attract attention and crowds.

Chapter 120 Two: [Daming Mansion]

The prosperity of the city of Kyoto far exceeded Itachi's imagination.

With the gathering of a large population, the streets in the city are actually not crowded or messy.

Under the impetus of various rules, everyone carried out their work in an orderly manner, polite and civilized...

Words like this kept pouring into Itachi's mind the moment he walked into the inner city. On the clean and tidy streets, there was hardly a trace of rubbish.

If we say that after entering the outskirts of Kyoto, what Itachi saw was the prosperity of the Ninja Kingdom as a big ninja country, and the officials of various towns, streets, and villages managed the areas under their jurisdiction in an orderly manner and flourished day by day.

Then in the inner city of Kyoto, what Itachi saw was that as a big country, the Daming Prefecture had strict laws and regulations.

Perhaps, everything in the inner city of Kyoto seems extravagant or even extravagant.But all of them are highlighting their respective classes and emphasizing the "pros and cons" of blood.

After Hiruzen Sarutobi's identity was verified, according to his "low-key and simple" request, the retainers sent by the daimyo did not make too much publicity, but directly bought the carriage at a price higher than the market price, replacing the groom The location, driving the carriage towards the center of Kyoto, the location of the Daming Prefecture.

Along the way, Itachi followed the window and saw some interesting scenes from time to time.

For example, residents who were born as "landowners", "businessmen" and "commoners" shunned them. Officials sitting in small sedan chairs, when they met six large sedan chairs, were dressed in gold and silver and were surrounded by dozens of servants. When the nobles and princes gathered in the cluster, they also had to stop the sedan chair and bow down to present them in awe.

However, both princes and nobles, as distant relatives of the last generation of daimyo, the Cangtian family and this generation of daimyo's wife Shiyuan's family are different in terms of pomp and circumstance.

"First Evolution"

Similarly, as this generation of relatives, the Juin family is different from the real "royal family" Sakamoto family.

Dressing, pomp, address...

People highlight their class in various ways.

Living in such a city with a clear class, although everything seems to be prosperous, civilized, and etiquette... But in fact, except for the group of people of the highest class, everyone else lives very tired.

Even though, this is the safest area in the Kingdom of Fire, even safer than Konoha.

Even though, here is the economic, political, and cultural center of the country of fire, and even the center of the ninja world.

But the people here should actually be very tired.

Itachi even felt that, as commoners such as the lowest-ranking commoners, rich men, and businessmen, perhaps the moment they walked out of the house, the smiles on their faces never stopped.

The reason, of course, is that a humble and flattering smile is better able to survive in this city.

There is no doubt that the policies implemented by the Damingfu in the city attached great importance to the emphasis and consolidation of class.At the same time, blood is a relationship above class.

This is what Sakamoto Yusheng said at the time, what do you want me to see?

A thought came to Itachi's mind.

Perhaps, in his eyes, he should think that I will pay more attention to the observance of rules and civilized etiquette, instead of observing everything as a whole, including the thoughts of people at the bottom.

But apart from the city's own class system, Itachi also discovered something.

That is, there are no ninjas in this city, or ninjas on the bright side.

When he was in the outskirts of Kyoto, although Itachi was sitting in a carriage, he could still see ninjas from Konoha from time to time, as if they were doing various commissions and defense tasks.But in this city, he did not see a ninja figure.

The figure running wantonly on the roof disappeared in this city.

Are ninjas not allowed in the city?Or rather, it's all hidden.

Itachi guessed in his heart.

There were retainers from the Daming Mansion as grooms, and although the carriage that Itachi and the others rode was unremarkable, no one dared to yell at them to stop and salute along the way, and the journey was considered unimpeded.

It seemed that the retainer who led the way had a relatively special status, and he was the one who led the way. Both the officials and the nobles in the city knew that this person was an important guest of the daimyo.

"Three generations of adults, the Daming Mansion has arrived."

Soon, after the daimyo's retainers and guards had a low-pitched conversation, the carriage passed through the low city wall outside the daimyo mansion, and the sound of the wheels slowly stopped.Immediately afterwards, the respectful voice of the retainer sounded from outside the car.

When Itachi, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Kakashi walked out of the opened curtain together and stood in the driver's seat of the carriage, the retainers had already set up a delicate and expensive-looking small staircase between the driver's seat and the ground.

He even lowered his head and raised his arms high to serve as armrests.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi turned his head and glanced, and jumped directly from the driving seat to the ground. His control over his body was so exquisite that when he fell to the ground, the gravity did not stir up any dust.

"Itachi, I'm going to meet Daimyo next."

Afterwards, he said slowly, "I'll ask them to find someone to take you to His Royal Highness Yu Sheng. Come to think of it, you must miss him very much."

The meaning is obvious, Hiruzaru Sarutobi doesn't want Itachi to go with him to meet Daimyo.

"I really miss him."

Itachi didn't care, and replied softly, also jumping off the driving seat to the ground.

Similarly, his movements are the same as Sarutobi Hiruzen, and his control over his body is very precise.

As for this, Kakashi was a little surprised and looked at Itachi a few more times.

It was the first time he had learned about the strength of this... child who had met once.

As for Sarutobi Hiruzen, he didn't care at all.

After such a long journey of almost eating and sleeping together, he is relatively clear about Itachi's level. He definitely has the level of a genin, and is even faintly close to the quality that a zhongnin position should have.

But what is the difference in the combat power of the lower ninja, middle ninja, and upper ninja to him?

"Follow me, Uchiha... the ninja-sama."

When the daimyo's retainers called his servants, Hiruzaru Sarutobi followed him to the attic in the center of the daimyo mansion.

Uchiha Itachi, on the other hand, followed his subordinates and headed in another direction.

Kakashi naturally followed him, acting as a guard in name.

Compared with the magnificent wall between the inner city of Kyoto and the outer area, the city wall between the inner city of Kyoto and Daimyofu is much lower.

Among them, a towering ancient attic stands like a lighthouse in the city of Kyoto.

This attic is where the daimyo lived and worked on a daily basis.

However, the attic is only the main residence of the daimyo, and there are various buildings in the daimyo mansion surrounded by low city walls.

Such as flowery gardens, rockery wonders with beautiful mountains and rivers, and residences where princes and wives live...

This Daming Mansion is also like a city, a city with a small scale but extremely high power and status.

The area protected from the north and south by Konoha and the Temple of Fire has no city walls.But the regional planning is obvious, well-organized like the outskirts of Kyoto in a small country.

And in the outer area, there is an inner city with a distinct class and various rules. The inner city is the place where all the people in the outer area want to squeeze in.

And in the inner city is the land of fire, the place where economic, cultural... power is concentrated - Daming Mansion!

It is the Daming Mansion that all people in the inner city can only look up to and submit to!

In Itachi's mind, the central map of the Fire Kingdom gradually became clear.At the same time, some plans in his mind began to be adjusted slowly.

A perfect plan cannot be fully settled from the beginning.

It is also necessary to make adjustments slowly as the situation changes during the implementation process.

Chapter 120 Three: [Naive Sakamoto Yusheng]

"Weasel!"

Leading the way by the servants of the Daming Mansion, Itachi walked a long way in this small town-like mansion, and came to a mansion with a town house of two lions.

And Sakamoto Yusheng, who was wearing brocade clothes and a high hat, was already waiting at the door, with a very anxious look on his face.

When seeing Itachi came, his tone was full of joy and nostalgia.

Let people who don't know see it, and really think that the two are such close friends, not ordinary friends who only met once.

What's more, the two didn't have any correspondence at all in the past two years.

Even this time, it was because of the notification in Sarutobi's letter that Sakamoto Yusheng knew that Itachi had also come to Kyoto.

In fact, Kakashi who was following Itachi was really surprised.

This is not the first time he has come into contact with the nobles of the Fire Nation. During missions, he often comes into contact with these people who like to "act as a role model".

To the ninja mind, many of their gestures are useless and time-consuming.

Can such identities with different ideologies become such close friends?

"Long time no see, Your Highness Yusheng is well."

Itachi greeted softly.
