Chapter 9 You don't even want to call me godfather
If ranked by the criteria that mattered most, in Uchiha Itachi's mind, the one who ranked first was not Sasuke, but Konoha.
In the original work, Sasuke defected and secretly buried another god in Uzumaki Naruto's body.
Once his younger brother attempts to take revenge on Konoha, he will inevitably fight Uzumaki Naruto. At that time, the other god who protects Konoha will be triggered and will forcibly reverse Sasuke's will.
So Li Xiang's problem is not a problem for him.
Even if he pays an unbearable price, he will choose to save Konoha.
"What crisis do you mean?"
Uchiha Itachi originally thought that the biggest crisis in Konoha was the Uchiha clan, but according to Li Xiang, it was actually related to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
He really couldn't understand it.
"As I said, Naruto betrayed Konoha and there is something wrong with his will of fire."
Li Xiang took a bite of rabbit meat and said, "The Will of Fire is not used to eradicate dissidents."
Uchiha Itachi gradually calmed down and asked: "Who is the dissident?"
"You are so smart, don't you know what I am talking about?"
Li Xiang spread his hands and said, "The dissidents are us."
"But...Hokage, he..."
Uchiha Itachi stopped talking.
He felt that what Li Xiang said was too outrageous.
Because as far as his personal feeling is concerned, Hiruzen Sarutobi has done his best for Konoha, and there is no possibility of betrayal.
"Everything has two sides."
Li knew from his previous life that Sarutobi Hiruzen was very good at gaining the trust of children.
It is undeniable that what he said was absolutely true, but he did not achieve the unity of knowledge and action.
Especially in the handling of the Uchiha clan, it seems to be vacillating.
I don't want to use force to solve it, but I don't want to stop Danzo's behavior.
"You only see the front side, but you think the back side is still the same."
Li Xiang pointed to the rabbit leg on the bonfire and said, "The top is not cooked, but the bottom is charred. You know how to turn it over, but why can't you see the other side on the Hokage's body?"
Uchiha Itachi looked at the rabbit meat in front of him in silence.
At this time, his mind was blank.
Li Xiang raised his eyebrows slightly.
It could be seen that Uchiha Itachi seemed very hesitant and undecided.
He found that he had overlooked another problem.
Shisui's death had a profound impact on Itachi Uchiha.
But this has not happened now.
Uchiha Itachi was far inferior to him three years later.
He still has some way to go.
Although Li Xiangzheng tried his best to persuade him not to take this path.
"What should I do?"
Uchiha Itachi regarded Li Xiang as Shisui at this moment.
He is a friend with whom he can communicate and a teacher who can give him goals.
"You should ask yourself, not me."
Li Xiang put down the rabbit leg and crossed his hands, which made him feel like a godfather.
He thought of a sentence, you don't even want to call me godfather.
"What is your goal?"
"Guard Konoha."
Uchiha Itachi answered without thinking.
"Whose Konoha?"
Li Xiang asked again.
"Konoha for everyone."
Uchiha Itachi still didn't hesitate.
He was influenced by Shisui, and the two of them actually had the same ideas.
I hope everyone in Konoha can live in harmony.
"You already know the answer, don't you?"
"..."
Uchiha Itachi was silent for a moment. His intelligence allowed him to quickly understand what Li Xiang said.
If Konoha were compared to a ship, Naruto would be the captain.
When the captain has a problem, he goes to repair the ship instead, which is undoubtedly putting the cart before the horse.
"Then now I can talk about the conversation between Shisui and I, and why Naruto betrayed Konoha."
Li Xiang showed a satisfied smile.
It doesn't take much energy to talk to smart people.
Of course, another important reason is that in the minds of Uchiha Itachi and Shisui, Konoha is the first, not Naruto.
Uchiha Itachi listened very carefully.
Ten minutes later, he thought thoughtfully: "It turns out that Shisui's behavior at the Konoha Police Department yesterday was for this purpose."
It's just a very evil method.
It is indeed Li Xiang who came up with it.
Very out-of-the-box and very useful.
"Since ANBU is following us, it proves that Lord Hokage is indeed unwilling to see this change. Whether it is the Konoha Police Department or Shisui, he hopes to maintain the status quo."
Li Xiang still had one sentence to explain.
Hiruzen Sarutobi might make a decision before taking action, but Danzo Shimura would not.
He can use Yamato to assassinate the third generation, and naturally he can use roots to assassinate Li Xiang and Uchiha Itachi.
Among the high-ranking officials in Konoha, Nabekage is undoubtedly the one who most wants the Uchiha clan to perish.
Because he has coveted the Sharingan for too long.
He felt that after getting the Sharingan and Hashirama cells, his strength would be greatly increased enough to ascend to the position of Hokage.
And the facts also proved his intentions.
In the original work, after Itachi Uchiha reported information about the rebellion, Hiruzen Sarutobi asked him to delay, but Danzo asked him to kill the entire clan in exchange for Sasuke's life.
"I will let Brother Zhisui interrogate the four Anbu behind, and we will carry out the mission as usual."
Li Xiang continued.
Shisui has the Mangekyō Sharingan, which can completely modify the ANBU's memory or subconscious.
He and Uchiha Itachi would not be exposed, and Shisui would get the attitude of Sarutobi Hiruzen he wanted.
Everyone has a bright future.
Uchiha Itachi didn't know what Li Xiang was thinking, but he believed in Shisui.
The two of them continued on their way.
After a while, we entered the Magic Valley.
As they expected, no one was there and only a piece of paper was found at the specified location.
"Leave 200,000 yuan and you can leave."
Li Xiang smiled.
This kidnapper is quite professional.
Uchiha Itachi took out a storage scroll and poured money directly into it.
"..."
Li Xiang twitched the corner of his mouth.
Not even a tenth of his entire possessions were.
Itachi Uchiha's behavior reminded him of a certain rich second generation in his previous life.
What Li Xiang hates most is people showing off their wealth and why it's not him.
Ahem, let’s get back to the topic.
"We are working on both lines."
Li Xiang said, "Leave a clone waiting for the kidnapper to show up to collect the money. At the same time, we will look for it separately according to your preset route."
Uchiha Itachi nodded, he had the same idea.
The two men act separately.
But not long after, the clone sent back the news.
They met immediately and followed the kidnappers to their base camp.
"Still too impatient."
Li Xiang shook his head. He thought he had met a professional, but he didn't expect to be so helpless.
Maybe the spread of two hundred thousand taels is too spectacular.
"There's a problem."
Uchiha Itachi's eyes were focused as he looked at the mountain peak, which was only about thirty meters tall.
"It's really too quiet."
Li Xiang held the katana.
As expected, Danzo took a simple and rude action.
Attack and kill.
The next moment, there was a black rainstorm in the sky.
The indiscriminate attack of the shuriken.
Li Xiang turned his wrist, and an airtight wall of swords suddenly formed in front of him.
The shurikens were knocked away one after another.
Uchiha Itachi took a deep breath, and the huge fireball, accompanied by the twisted high temperature, rushed straight in the direction from which the shuriken flew.
At the same time, the scarlet color flashed in his eyes, and the three magatama slowly rotated.
"Three Jonin, I'll deal with the two on the left, and you deal with the one on the right."
Uchiha Itachi behaved very calmly.
Although he knew that it was not an easy task for him and Li Xiang to defeat three jounin, he had to explain it here.
Li Xiangwei nodded.
He is self-aware, and dealing with a jounin is already a relatively reluctant task, and he will not try to force himself to share the burden for Uchiha Itachi.
But he wasn't particularly panicked. As long as Shisui arrived, they would be safe.
