Many ANBU members also know that Uchiha Itachi has a different identity. He is a member of the wealthy Uchiha clan of Konoha and the eldest son of the captain of the Konoha police force.
However, the ANBU does not talk about evil spirits, but there is a bit of a tradition of ranking based on seniority. If you are too young, you will inevitably be questioned in the ANBU.
However, ANBU is not without its little guys.
Akihara Kagura celebrated the New Year and was only eleven years old.
However, Akihara Kagura is a ninja who is the blood successor of the Wood Release. He is too strong and is a ninja from the roots. No one among the ANBU ninjas thought of questioning Akihara Kagura. In addition, everyone knows that this little guy also looks down on ANBU.
, thinking about returning to the roots every day.
This newcomer named Uchiha Itachi, other ANBU ninjas are still planning to wait and see, and no one is willing to take the initiative to pay attention to Uchiha Itachi.
Akihara Kagura is an exception.
As an old member of Hatake Kakashi's team, Akihara Kagura enthusiastically took Uchiha Itachi to the logistics department to get equipment, helped assign him a wardrobe, and introduced him to ANBU colleagues.
"This is Uchiha Itachi."
Akihara Kagura seemed worried that Uchiha Itachi would be questioned by ANBU colleagues, and introduced Uchiha Itachi's background: "Uchiha Itachi was recommended by Danzo-sama to study in ANBU, and Danzo-sama wants to regard him as a future
Cultivated by root leaders.”
"..."
The ANBU ninjas immediately did not dare to underestimate Uchiha Itachi.
Even if these ANBU ninjas think that the eleven-year-old Uchiha Itachi may not be reliable, they would not be able to question the future leader of the ANBU in person.
"I'm not...I didn't..."
Uchiha Itachi waved his hands repeatedly, with a hint of uneasiness on his face, for fear of being misunderstood: "I am just an ordinary ninja who was recommended by Danzo-sama to join ANBU to study..."
"It's not just that..."
Akihara Kagura shook his head and continued to add: "The Sandaime Hokage personally told Captain Kakashi to assign Uchiha Itachi to our team and ask Captain Kakashi to take care of him in the ANBU."
Akihara Kagura's words sounded like Uchiha Itachi was more like a background figure who was sent here to gain experience by the people above. In fact, he was indeed sent here to gain experience.
"Anbu doesn't have those evil tendencies."
Kakashi Hatake held Akihara Kagura's shoulders and comforted the overwhelmed Itachi Uchiha: "Don't worry, Kagura just likes to talk nonsense."
"yes!"
Uchiha Itachi immediately relaxed.
Compared to Akihara Kagura, Hatake Kakashi is really a good person.
"Class 6, go out to perform the mission!"
Kakashi Hatake waved and motioned for everyone present to go out together, then looked at Itachi Uchiha: "Go ahead and change into ANBU equipment. Lord Hokage has told me that you can just stay with me like Kagura."
Already."
"And you."
Hatake Kakashi looked at Akihara Kagura again, with a little helplessness on his face: "We have performed missions with Itachi, so we need to get along well with him during this time..."
"I know, I know."
Akihara Kagura said something perfunctory to save face, then turned to look at Uchiha Itachi: "Did you hear that? You need to get along well with me during this period of time."
"..."
Uchiha Itachi didn't know how to speak.
At this moment, an ANBU suddenly broke into the locker room!
"Captain Kakashi!"
"Hokage-sama has summoned you for something important!"
"I want you to take Akihara Kagura and Uchiha Itachi to the Hokage Tower immediately!"
Inside the Hokage Building.
The third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, had a solemn expression.
The two Hokage advisors who had been sitting next to them turned around. Koharu and Mito Monobu frowned, and the Hokage assistant Shimura Danzo looked a little eager to try.
"I really didn't expect that..."
Mito Kadoen sighed and looked at the information from the spies in Iwagakure Village: "Such a big thing happened at the beginning of this year. Uchiha Obito controlled the five-tailed Jinchūriki of Iwagakure Village in an attempt to assassinate
The third Tsuchikage Ohnoki almost caused the Tailed Beast Rebellion..."
"This incident actually became known to everyone..."
After turning to bed, Xiaochun thought about the impact of this incident and said, "Why didn't Yanyin Village find a way to suppress this incident? Is there some kind of trap?"
"It's also a good thing for us..."
Danzo Shimura didn't care about the chaos in Iwagakure Village, and even thought that the more such things happened, the better: "It's a pity that the Five-Tails Jinchuuriki didn't kill that guy Ohnoki..."
"It may not be a good thing..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and mentioned what Uchiha Obito had done one by one: "Uchiha Obito is a dangerous rebellious ninja. He once controlled Konoha's Nine-Tails, killed Minato, and controlled Kiri.
The Three-Tails of Hidden Village now controls the Five-Tails of Iwagakure Village..."
"Is this a deliberate attempt to use tailed beasts to weaken the power of these powerful ninja villages?"
Mito Monobu also realizes that there is something wrong with these things. A person can never do these things for no reason. Everything has a purpose.
"unknown."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was not very clear about this either. Most of the information he got came from Hatake Kakashi: "Kakashi mentioned something. Uchiha Obito seemed to have gone astray, trying to make the ninja world peaceful forever.
Resurrection of the village hero Nohara Rin..."
"If he wants to achieve so-called peace in the ninja world, then it is understandable why he would have such a whimsical approach..."
After returning to bed, Koharu nodded, and based on Uchiha Obito's behavior, he speculated: "The tailed beast is very powerful. He should think that he can just use the tailed beast to kill the shadow of that village and let the tailed beast Jinchūriki become the shadow."
Position, you can directly control the five major countries!"
"But what's the use?"
Mito Kadenyan raised his own doubts: "For example, Uchiha Obito controlled Kirigakure Village, but did not bother to govern the village on behalf of Goju Yagura. Instead, Kirigakure Village became even more chaotic under the blood mist policy. This is simply
Isn’t that a peaceful approach?”
"And...how is he going to resurrect Nohara Rin?"
Mito Kaden brought up his biggest confusion, and actually started to think about it seriously: "It is extremely rare in the ninja world to have a technique that can bring people back to life. Even someone as talented as the Second Hokage has only developed an insignificant technique.
The perfect art of reincarnation from dirty soil..."
"Could it be..."
"Obito Uchiha wants to resurrect Nohara Rin using the art of filthy earth reincarnation?"
"maybe…"
Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and mentioned a few things about the art of reincarnation in the dirty soil: "According to the records left by the Second Hokage in the book of seals, the art of reincarnation in the dirty soil requires the sacrifice of the living, and the sacrifice of the living.
The stronger the person's strength, the closer the resurrected dead will be to the power they had during their lifetime..."
"Desecrating the undead and harming the living..."
After going to bed, Koharu quickly closed the hole where the forbidden technique might be leaked: "This is a forbidden technique that is absolutely not allowed to be practiced. It is a prohibition personally issued by the First Hokage-sama and Tobirama-sensei!"
"We have always acted according to the will of the Second Hokage."
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't think anyone could learn it successfully, because the technique was not perfect yet and it was very difficult to learn. Now he was more concerned about Uchiha Obito.
Dong Dong Dong…
There was a knock on the door of the Hokage's office.
Hatake Kakashi walked in with two little guys, Akihara Kagura and Uchiha Itachi, and saw the presence of Konoha's senior officials, all with serious expressions on their faces.
Apparently…
Something big must have happened again.
Sarutobi Hiruzen did not hide too much, and told Uchiha Obito's great achievements in Iwagakure Village, and said solemnly: "Kakashi, the harm caused by Uchiha Obito is getting bigger and bigger. I think sooner or later he will
It will also endanger the safety of Konoha, and we must increase our efforts to trace him..."
"The three of you once went to Kirigakure Village to investigate and destroyed Uchiha Obito's conspiracy to control Kirigakure Village. Now let your team go to the Earth Kingdom to detect Uchiha Obito's whereabouts. No matter what Uchiha Obito wants,
Whatever you do, you must stop him!"
"clear!"
Hatake Kakashi just wanted to do this.
As for Akihara Kagura and Uchiha Itachi, one of these two little guys is extremely powerful and the other represents the Uchiha clan. It is quite suitable to track Uchiha Obito.
"Be careful."
Sarutobi Hiruzen held his pipe in his mouth and warned: "When you go to the Earth Kingdom for reconnaissance, you must avoid attracting the attention of the Third Tsuchikage Onoki..."
That old guy is very strong, especially the third-generation Tsuchikage Onoki's dust escape blood successor was eliminated, which is more terrifying than the ordinary blood successor limit!
"clear."
Kakashi Hatake has also heard of the Tsuchikage's name.
"Go get ready."
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and glanced at Danzo Shimura next to him: "Danzo, let the personnel of the Intelligence Department cooperate with them."
"..."
Shimura Danzo was silent for a while, and his eyes slowly moved, stopping on Akihara Kagura for a moment. He seemed to consider it for a while, and finally landed on Uchiha Itachi.
"Weasel."
"Come with me."
Shimura Danzo touched his crutch and said slowly: "I will give you the list of members of the Intelligence Department of Iwagakure Village. You will contact them when the time comes."
"..."
Akihara Kagura seemed to hang her head in disappointment.
Kakashi Hatake was keenly aware that his subordinate was somewhat unhappy. After leaving the Hokage Tower, he planned to comfort him. It was not a bad thing to stay away from Danzo Shimura.
"I know who the espionage members of Iwagakure Village are."
Akihara Kagura's voice was somewhat suppressed and depressed, as if she was deliberately mentioning something that made her unhappy: "On the day of the chunin exam last year, Kabuto Yakushi invited me to finish ramen and then went to Iwagakure Village to perform a mission..."
"I remember that guy..."
Hatake Kakashi recalled the person rushing to pay.
Hatake Kakashi had never seen Akihara Kagura so disappointed, and comforted him softly: "It seems that you have a good relationship. That person named Yakushi Kabuto must be safe and sound in Iwagakure Village."
"Not really."
Akihara Kagura shook his head and sighed faintly: "The main reason is that I have always wanted to kill him, but I can't do it in the village. I can only take advantage of this time to go to the Earth Kingdom to do it. Danzo-sama can't do it."
Tell me his contact information, how can I kill him?"
"Don't think about killing your fellow villagers!"
Hatake Kakashi's forehead jumped, and he regretted his actions of comforting Akihara Kagura, and helplessly held his forehead: "You are no longer a member of the Roots, you are an ANBU ninja, please correct yourself quickly.
Thought…"
"This time..."
"Shimura Danzo did a good thing."
"Don't contact espionage members privately."
"Without the permission of our superiors, we cannot contact people from the Intelligence Department at will, lest their identities be exposed and put them in danger."
Hatake Kakashi thought of the surname Yakushi Kabuto again and asked, "By the way, the surname Yakushi seems familiar. What is the relationship between Yakushi Kabuto and Yakushi Nonou?"
"You should know by the name..."
Akihara Kagura glanced at Hatake Kakashi speechlessly: "Of course Yakushi Kabuto is an orphan adopted by Yakushi Kabuto, just like me!"
"You guy..."
Hatake Kakashi felt that this guy was breathing heavily when he spoke, so he raised his forehead and said: "Since you are all children from an orphanage, why do you always want to kill him? Because when you were a child, did he bully you in the orphanage?
?”
Akihara Kagura shook his head and said in a deep voice: "In order to get Yakushi Kabuto out of the root, Dean Yakushi Nonou accepted Danzo-sama's request and stayed at the root without being able to escape. He also performed dangerous spy missions outside...
"
In front of Hatake Kakashi, Akihara Kagura updated her character script: "In order to get Yakushi Yakushi Dean Noonoyu to leave the dangerous job at the root, simply kill Yakushi Kabuto and kill the Yakushi Kabuto.
Dean Nonoyu’s people!”
Although the script is different...
But the final result will definitely coincide.
After all, putting on a jealous and crazy persona in front of Hatake Kakashi is not in line with his own image, and may even affect Hatake Kakashi's good impression of him.
It doesn't matter if one day Hatake Kakashi tells Yakushi Kabuto or Yakushi Nonou this script, because the outcome of the script will definitely not change, and it will also make Yakushi Kabuto and Yakushi Nonou have a better impression of him.
"I think Kabuto Yakushi is quite friendly to you."
Hatake Kakashi frowned, feeling that the matter was not simple, and boldly asked: "Is there a possibility that Danzo Shimura used you or Yakushi Nonou to threaten Yakushi Kabuto, and used Yakushi Kabuto to threaten Yakushi Nonou?
Threatening you with Medicine Master No Naiyu..."
"..."
Akihara Kagura suddenly fell silent.
How could Kakashi Hatake have such an idea? He actually thought of a closed loop of logic. This kind of thinking logic is even in line with Shimura Danzo's character!
"Don't be influenced by Danzo's thoughts and always want to kill people in an extreme way."
Hatake Kakashi finished summing up and said: "Let's go pack some things! We will leave for Earth Country tomorrow."
"knew."
After Akihara Kagura and Hatake Kakashi separated, they suddenly said: "Hey, Wei, go help me keep an eye on Uchiha Itachi and see what he and Danzo-sama are talking about..."
"clear."
Bai Jue Awei's head popped up quickly, and then sank quickly.
Root base.
Uchiha Itachi knelt on one knee in front of Shimura Danzo.
"You should know what we want you to do, right?"
Danzo Shimura narrowed his eyes and continued slowly: "In these years, thanks to your father, the peace between Konoha and Uchiha has been maintained. However, this is very difficult for Konoha and Uchiha.
, after all, it is not a long-term solution..."
"The Uchiha clan has been given a high degree of autonomy by the village. We need to have eyes and ears to intervene in the hostility between Uchiha and Konoha, and also get rid of those dangerous people who endanger the relationship between Konoha and Uchiha...
"
"The path of a spy is destined to be dark."
Danzo Shimura lowered his head and glanced at Itachi Uchiha, and continued: "Itachi, if you want to protect the peace of Konoha and Uchiha in the darkness, you must have an extremely tenacious will, and you must have the spirit of sacrificing everything and even self-sacrifice at any time.
, have you really thought about it?"
"yes!"
Uchiha Itachi's attitude was very determined.
As he grew older, Uchiha Itachi already knew about the conflict between the Uchiha clan and Konoha, and he was also trying to find a peaceful solution like Uchiha Shisui.
This time, being recommended by Danzo Shimura to join the Anbu was a huge opportunity for him, and he could even have direct contact with the top management of Konoha.
If we talk about sacrifice...
Uchiha Itachi never cares about sacrifice!
"Then let me see it!"
Danzo Shimura took out a list in his hand and handed it to Itachi Uchiha: "This is the list of intelligence personnel and contact passwords of Iwagakure Village."
"yes."
Uchiha Itachi reached out and took it.
"Itachi, this is an assessment for you."
Danzo Shimura took out three more sealed scrolls, pointed at the blue scroll and said: "This blue scroll is given to the pharmacist Nonou. This is the last mission she will perform at the root."
Shimura Danzo pointed to the red scroll and continued to give instructions: "Give this red scroll to Yakushi Kabuto. Inside is the mission he is going to perform."
"..."
Uchiha Itachi nodded, indicating that he had written it down.
Uchiha Itachi was a little confused. Is this test so simple?
"And this blue scroll..."
Danzo Shimura lowered his head and stared at Uchiha Itachi, with a hint of coldness in his eyes, as if he was observing Uchiha Itachi's thoughts.
"yes."
Uchiha Itachi quickly lowered his head.
Is the real assessment content coming?
Shimura Danzo's speaking speed gradually slowed down: "Itachi, this blue scroll is your assessment. When you come back, tell me whether you can continue to sacrifice for the future of Konoha and Uchiha."
All determination!"
"yes!"
Uchiha Itachi thought everything was no problem.
The only problem is... it's probably another member of the team.
"By the way, Lord Danzo."
After Uchiha Itachi took the scroll, he raised his own doubts: "Why should I kick Kagura-kun out of the root? Because I joined the root, but Kagura-kun had to leave the root, and he has always been very hostile to me..."
"..."
Shimura Danzo's face looked a little unhappy.
Is that what you want to kick out?
That was what Sarutobi Hiruzen snatched from his hands!
Now I can't even contact Akihara Kagura privately. Not long ago, Hiruzen Sarutobi even issued a ban on himself, prohibiting him from contacting Akihara Kagura privately!
Shimura Danzo thought of the little guy Akihara Kagura, and felt slightly relieved, feeling that he still had a chance to take advantage of Akihara Kagura.
pity…
This opportunity is hard to find.
"Don't worry about these..."
After Shimura Danzo shook his head, he seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said: "By the way, you must monitor Akihara Kagura carefully in the team..."
"Kagura possesses the Muden Blood Succession Limit in her body. To Konoha, she is an extremely powerful ninja and an extremely dangerous person."
the most important is!
Akihara Kagura is an outsider she brought back!
This cannot be known to others yet, this is the secret that keeps you in control of Akihara Kagura forever!
"..."
Uchiha Itachi nodded hesitantly.
At this moment, Itachi Uchiha understood the sorrow of being a spy.
Even teammates who get along day and night in the future must be monitored as if they are enemies? In the future, I will even have to monitor my own people...
Under the ground.
The other spy didn't feel sad.
"Why do I always feel like Danzo Shimura has discovered me lately?"
Bai Jue Awei shivered from time to time and swam hurriedly underground: "Is Shimura Danzo's perception so sharp? He can never carry out such dangerous tasks again in the future!"
Shiro Awei quickly swam back to Akihara Kagura, as if he had discovered some great joy: "Itachi Uchiha is here to monitor you! Konoha has never trusted you! Danzo's perception
So sharp! I might have been discovered by him! Kagura, when are you going to defect from Konoha to the Akatsuki organization?"
"I've guessed it a long time ago."
Akihara Kagura rubbed the center of her eyebrows, using [Darkness of the Ninja World] to observe Bai Jue all the time was a very boring thing: "Tell me all the news you know..."
Let me take a look first...
Will Bai Jue, named Ah Wei, hide anything about himself?
As long as it doesn't involve matters involving Uchiha Obito and the Akatsuki organization, Shiro Jue Awei will not hide any information at all, and will reveal all the information exchanged between Uchiha Itachi and Shimura Danzo.
"Feel sorry."
The Bai Jue named Ah Wei had a working spirit and blamed himself: "I haven't found out the secrets of those three scrolls yet. They didn't talk about the secrets of the scrolls. I only know that one scroll belongs to the pharmacist.
One scroll belongs to Yakushi Nonou, and the other scroll belongs to Itachi Uchiha..."
"It doesn't matter, I don't expect you to be very good."
Akihara Kagura calmed it casually and continued: "First go and help me find traces of Lord Orochimaru. Then I will introduce you and the Akatsuki organization to Orochimaru and ask him to help you conduct human experiments so that you can
Become better.”
"It doesn't matter if Uchiha Itachi is spying on me..."
Akihara Kagura slowly held the Kusanagi sword given to her by Orochimaru: "When we come back, my origin will no longer be a problem."
