This Uchiha Itachi is very lonely

"But it is also because of him that it confirms the friendly relationship between Konoha and Uchiha."

Having said that, he paused, and asked in a deep and serious voice, "Itachi, what do you think about Konoha's current situation?"

In the end, they still failed to capture the masked man. His time-space technique was too weird, and he never appeared after being sucked into the vortex.

But the haze left by that masked man never stopped.

This question is very general.

Itachi didn't blurt out this time.

If he blurted out such a general question again, it would be a bit perfunctory.

After thinking carefully for a moment, Itachi replied softly: "It's very dangerous..."

"Analyzing from the masked man's dress, tracking our travel route, and words... there should be forces behind it, not personal revenge."

"A force hidden deep in the dark, who has a grudge against Konoha, wholeheartedly wants to provoke disputes and destroy Konoha, and whose strength is difficult to assess, is enough to become a threat that can threaten the existence of Konoha."

In the words of his answer, he pointed out the great impact that the danger of this force would have on Konoha.

As for whether the identity of the masked man comes from Uchiha.As for Uchiha's role as "family", "ally" and "enemy"... in this, Itachi didn't mention a word.

Beside him, Hiruzaru Sarutobi narrowed his eyes half-closed.

He knew all about what Itachi said.

Even in addition to what "Itachi" knows, foreign invaders also come from other big countries.

In addition to the relatively stable land of land that has just signed a peace treaty, the land of thunder, the land of water, the land of wind, and even some small and medium-sized countries such as the land of rain, may all be defeated when Konoha shows emptiness. , pounced on to take a bite.

And even if the external troubles are excluded, Konoha still has internal troubles...

Ugh……

Hiruzaru Sarutobi let out a long sigh, there are still too few available people around him.

"It sounds like Konoha's current situation is worrying."

He didn't talk too much about the secrets with Itachi, but continued to ask, "Then, does Itachi have any good solutions to solve this situation?"

"keep it steady."

Itachi pondered and replied, "Konoha is very rigorous and perfect in education, from the initial learning of the ninja school, to the running-in of the team system of the ninja, and there is a promotion route above the ninja."

"Whether it's the interrogation department, the medical department, the sealing squad, the combat squad... from the second generation of Hokage to now, each department has developed very maturely."

"Every year that passes, the village will benefit from these perfect systems."

"Although at present, due to the short end of the war and other things, the morale in the village is quite low."

"But if it can settle for a few years, Konoha will soon have batch after batch of fresh blood turned into nutrients and injected, so that this big tree will be rejuvenated."

"Although the forces hiding in the dark are difficult to deal with, as long as we develop steadily and continuously, they can only become mice hiding in the dark all the time, and they will never see their day."

This is the truth.

If he were to be in charge of Konoha, facing such a situation of external and internal troubles, the chosen path would be to evade and delay large-scale conflicts, and not give up an inch of ground in small-scale conflicts.

Avoidance and delay are for survival and development, and not giving up an inch of land is the tough attitude that a big country should have.

"You can understand these, very good!"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi looked at Itachi with complicated eyes, and for some unknown reason, he suddenly asked, "Minato once told you new students about the "will of fire" when the ninja school started. I don't know... how do you feel about this thought? "

After asking this question, the other Anbu ninjas beside him were taken aback.

Afterwards, they also set their sights on Itachi.

"It should be inheritance and continuation."

Itachi blurted out again, "One generation will carry on the goals and ideas of one generation."

"Complete old goals, make new ones."

"Make full use of the advantages of time and reduce risks..."

Speaking of this, he can say a lot.

And the more you talk about this aspect, the more beneficial it will be for the current Uchiha.

"Are these thoughts all your own?"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi listened to Itachi's words, the more he understood, the more regretful he felt.

"Some of them were told to me by Zhishui."

Itachi didn't hide it, "Shisui and my father used to have a good relationship, and he often told me about Konoha."

"There are still some that I thought of myself."

As for the fact that Uchiha Shisui once guided him, he never disclosed.

Judging from Sarutobi Hiruzen's attitude towards himself along the way, Uchiha Shisui kept his promise and never reported his affairs to the other party.

That being the case, it is impossible for him to slip up and make Hiruzaru Sarutobi doubt his loyalty.

Itachi was very surprised and regretful that Hiruzaru Sarutobi would ask him about the will of fire.

The reason for his surprise was that he finally believed "once again" that Konoha and Uchiha should not sacrifice one of them, but should coexist.

It seems that the surface of the masked man and the forces behind it really made Hiruzaru Sarutobi a lot more scruples, at least... he doesn't want to be too stiff with Uchiha at the moment.

And unfortunately, the same is true.

Some grudges are born, and they can never go back.

Even at this moment, Konoha really wanted to seek coexistence with Uchiha from the bottom of his heart, Uchiha would not just stand there and wait for them.

What's more, they are not necessarily sincere.

Just referring to the fact that Konoha changed his attitude overnight after the night of Nine Tails, Itachi had long since put no hope in Konoha.

As the parents said, who can guarantee that Konoha's unpredictable attitude will remain the same as before?

Rather than pinning hopes on outsiders, it is better to try every means to make the family stronger.

Only if you are strong enough can you gain a foothold in this ninja world, instead of relying on others and relying on others.

Chapter 140: 【Xiao Organization】

After Uchiha Itachi mentioned his understanding and knowledge of Konoha Village, few of them came from Uchiha Shisui's narration, Sarutobi Hiruzen fell silent.

Along the way, he never spoke to Itachi, nor did he ask questions such as his views on Konoha's plans, or his views on Uchiha.

What is he thinking.

Itachi didn't know, Sarutobi Hiruzen was an elusive person after all.

Along the way, he met a lot of new faces, or they were as simple as a child, what they are on the surface is what they are in their hearts, or like Sakamoto Yusheng, they were one thing on the surface, another thing behind the scenes, but they were still in the bottom of their hearts. There must be a set of three-faced people.

I have met all kinds of people, although it has deepened Itachi's understanding of "knowing people".

But until now, he has not been able to confirm whether Hiruzen Sarutobi has let go of his prejudice against Uchiha.

Even before he actually returned to Konoha, back home, he couldn't confirm whether Sarutobi Hiruzen would attack him suddenly.

A hesitant person will also make those who try to figure him into hesitation.

But even if Hiruzaru Sarutobi attacked him, he might not be able to succeed.

At least if they really want to take down themselves, they should be fully prepared.

Artoria, who was on the side, would not just watch them make preparations, setting traps for herself like she was treating Obito Uchiha.

A long trip made Itachi roughly understand what level his current strength is in the ninja world.

From a personal point of view, I have unknowingly reached a very high level.

Along the way, although I didn't go all out, I was able to handle all kinds of attacks from Uchiha Obito with ease.

In this way, the level that the job of "Junin" should possess is definitely there.

As for the more specific, Ninja World does not divide realms in terms of cultivation, but only in the division of personal duties, so Itachi can't clearly explain his own level.

But probably...it should be as strong as the father who awakened the Kaleidoscope Sharingan, or stronger than him!

As a group, it's more of a model.

After all, like those barriers, blood sacrifices, and spells that sealed Uchiha Obito before... If he was really tricked, Itachi knew very well that he would never be able to escape as easily as Uchiha Obito.

But finally, I have the power to protect myself in this ninja world.

……

Fleeing away from Uchiha Obito, Itachi and his group were surrounded and returned to the village. After walking for a few more days, they finally saw the building belonging to Konoha Village.

At the entrance of the long-lost Muye Village, the flow of people coming and going is still crowded.And among them, there are no gorgeously dressed young masters and ladies, and there are no officials who are served by high sedan chairs, and there are no noble princes who are followed by dozens or hundreds of servants and maids.

In and out of Konoha Village, only ninjas in sandals, villagers, merchants, and employers...

They dress simply, and they don't pay much attention to ostentation when traveling.

Moreover, there is not such a neat queue when entering and exiting, and there will be no politeness from low-ranking people to high-ranking people.

Compared with the prosperity and civilization of the inner city of Kyoto, here is a bit more rural atmosphere.

Perhaps because of seeing the "world", Itachi unconsciously compared the differences between the two in his mind.

Although in Sakamoto Yusheng's inquiry, his evaluation of the relationship between Konoha and Kyoto is-"Kyoto City is more inclined to life, while Konoha focuses more on practicality in combat."

But in fact, probably because he is from Konoha Village, or because his family members are all in Konoha, when Itachi saw Konoha, he felt that Konoha was more "human".

"Anti-God Evil God"

Apart from these, Itachi has no other thoughts such as nostalgia, emotion... and so on.

There is only one thing he wants to do in his heart at this time, and that is to go home quickly, pinch the fat face of his brother whom he hasn't seen for two months, and hear him call "brother".

Hiruza Sarutobi and the others did not stop Itachi, but set him free when he returned to Konoha.

The moment he got the order, Itachi's body was like a shadow, gradually blurring, and the speed of leaving was so fast that it left an afterimage in place, and even the afterimage would take time to fade slowly!

In this regard, Hiruzaru Sarutobi and others noticed it, but they did not say anything, and stepped into the village silently.

Compared with Itachi, who couldn't wait to go home after returning to the village, their hearts were heavier.

Returning to the village was not as grand as when leaving the village. It was a cover of several waves of people and drums and gongs.

Concerned about Konoha's future, Hiruzen Sarutobi waved off the accompanying Anbe ninjas, and returned to the Hokage Building in a very low-key manner.

Even during this process, few people discovered that he, the Third Hokage, had returned to the village.

As Hokage, the first thing he does when he returns to the village is, of course, to go back to work to sort out the affairs that happened during this trip, and hold a meeting to deal with it. As for the real return home to rest... that will probably take several days. up.

"Sarutobi, you really didn't kill Uchiha Itachi."

The moment he opened the office door, Hiruzaru Sarutobi faced Shimura Danzo's gloomy face and his tone of hatred.

But he didn't care, but turned his gaze to the side again.

In the house, there are Mito Menyan and Zhuanju Xiaoharu.

"Your news is quite well-informed."

Sarutobi Hirizhan replied flatly, bypassing the figures of the three people directly, and went straight to sit down on the seat of Hokage.

Then, he casually took out the so-called "Hokage Appointment Letter" from his pocket, just like an ordinary document, threw it on a corner of the table, and ignored it.

"The rescue information sent back by "Elephant" said that you were attacked? "

Mitomon Yan sat on a chair opposite him, and asked in a deep voice, "Does it have something to do with Uchiha?"

"If it had something to do with Uchiha, he would have killed Uchiha Itachi long ago, so why would he let him go home?"

Shimura Danzo looked away from the "Hokage Appointment Letter" on the table, "And you really taught that kid a lot along the way. The speed he showed when he returned to the land is not what a ninja should have. Yes, at least they have to be Zhongnin, or even Jnin!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at him coldly, and did not directly mention the fact that he sent root ninjas to attack and kill him in front of the other two advisors, but talked about the masked man, "Specifically, it should be said that it was an attack Uchiha Itachi's people."

"He has a kaleidoscope Sharingan, which has a real relationship with the night when Kyuubi broke the seal. But it seems that it has nothing to do with Uchiha in our village. He tried to kill Uchiha Itachi on the road and provoke conflicts between the village and Uchiha .”

"And...he owns the wooden escape!"

"Mu Dun?!"

When they heard "The Uchiha of the Kaleidoscope", the three of Shimura Danzo did not react, after all, this was the information they had expected early on.
