Itachi knew very well about Shisui's death, but he couldn't tell all of Shisui's words.
A master of the Uchiha clan, a genius boy from the Leaf Village, did not die on the battlefield, but was forced to death by Danzo and "Gen". It was difficult to explain clearly to outsiders the resentment in Itachi's heart.
Tsunade is indeed a person worth telling, but will she believe it?
Moreover, Uchiha Shisui chose to commit suicide in order to prevent Konoha Village from being taken advantage of by other countries due to internal strife. He told Danzo and "Gen", and if Tsunade believed it, wouldn't it have increased Konoha's power?
With the internal strife in the village, and the Uchiha clan learning that Shisui was forced to death by Danzo, the rebellion of the Uchiha clan is really inevitable.
"Danzo intends to use his own methods to protect the village at all costs." This is what Shisui said to Itachi himself.
Everything Danzo did was for Konoha, did Shisui really support him in telling everything?
Itachi also had no idea.
"I can see that you are still struggling." Tsunade stared at Itachi, "But there are some things that you cannot solve alone."
"Tsunade-sama, what are you talking about?" Itachi didn't know Tsunade's attitude and didn't know how to respond.
"The Uchiha clan is in a very dangerous situation right now, right?" Tsunade crossed her fingers and stared at Uchiha Itachi.
"You all know?" Itachi was stunned for a moment, then he was relieved, "That's right, the Uchiha clan... haven't the high-level officials of Konoha made a conclusion?"
"We all know the attitude of Konoha's higher-ups, but I want to know the attitude of your Uchiha clan." Tsunade said.
Itachi was about to speak when Shisui's words before leaving flashed through his mind again, "Duanzo doesn't believe me..."
Will Tsunade believe him?
"What about you!?" Tsunade patted the table and stood up from her seat, "You should tell me what your attitude is!? Do you hope that the misunderstanding between each other will increase, or do you want to resolve the crisis and give it to me?
An answer? I ran out deliberately because of the Uchiha clan. As a member of the Senju clan, I don’t want conflicts to arise between the two parties due to misunderstandings! Not only does the blood of the Senju clan flow in Konoha Village, but also the blood of the Senju clan flows through it.
The blood of the Hyuga family, the Uchiha family, and all the villagers who protect Konoha Village is still flowing, isn’t it?”
"I..." Itachi looked at Tsunade, not knowing how to answer for a moment.
Even though he believed Tsunade at the moment, it was still difficult to get him to tell the story in detail.
After all, this matter is really too complicated.
"Hey, wait, you can't come in..."
Shizune, who was guarding the door, suddenly shouted, causing Itachi and Tsunade to look outside the door. At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Shizune was pushed into the room.
Tsunade stared at the person who came in through the door, frowning slightly, but still forced a smile, "Danzo-sama, why are you here?"
"Tsunade-sama has been back for so long, I should have come to see you in person, but I have been busy with work and have been unable to get away." Danzo said with a smile.
"Let's forget it for today, I still have something to do." Tsunade glanced at Itachi.
"That's okay. Uchiha Itachi, I need your help with a mission. You won't refuse, right?" Danzo's eyes were also fixed on Itachi.
For a time, Itachi became the focus of the competition between the two sides.
"Danzo-sama, although you are the leader of the 'roots', you can't control the 'anbu' for the time being, right?" Tsunade sneered.
"Root" was established in the name of "Anbu Training Department".
The leader of the "roots" is Danzo, and the leader of the "anbu" is Hokage.
The implication is that "roots" and "dark parts" are two relatively independent institutions.
"That's wrong. Although the 'ANBU' is not under my control, the 'ANBU' and the 'root' will cooperate with each other according to the difficulty of the task." Danzo smiled.
"What mission requires him to go out?" Tsunade asked.
"This is a secret. If Tsunade-sama wants to follow, of course you can, but can you see blood?" Danzo asked in return.
Tsunade's expression changed instantly.
Itachi glanced at the two of them each, then stood up and bowed deeply to Tsunade, "Tsunade-sama, I had a great conversation today. I hope that we can both be well prepared when we talk next time.
Master Zang, shall we go?"
"Yeah." Danzo turned around and left with the "Root" members, while Itachi closed the door.
Tsunade clenched her fists and was about to hit the table hard, but then she remembered the terror of her own power and endured it forcefully.
"Tsunade-sama... I'm sorry." Shizune lowered her head.
"What does it have to do with you? You can't stop him." Tsunade forcibly calmed down her anger.
Danzo is her elder and has contributed to Konoha Village. Considering various factors, she must respect Danzo.
"No, there are some things I haven't had time to say yet." Shizune quickly explained.
"What words?"
"I followed your instructions and followed Uchiha Itachi, and was discovered by him, but I didn't expect that there were others following me."
"Who are they?" Tsunade asked.
"I don't know. After being discovered by Uchiha Itachi, those two people ran away. Uchiha Itachi didn't pursue them either."
"Is there such a thing?" Tsunade slowly sat down and frowned.
Who would follow Shizune or Uchiha Itachi? Moreover, Danzo's arrival was too coincidental.
Could it be him?
The top management of Konoha Village has quite a lot of opinions on the Uchiha clan, and Danzo, as one of them, has a very clear attitude, and it is reasonable to send people to follow Uchiha Itachi.
But why did he call Uchiha Itachi away again?
Is this the intention of other senior officials, or is it just him?
The more Tsunade thought about it, the more her brows knitted together, and the image of Terauchi Yusuke appeared in her mind involuntarily.
"Mute."
"Um?"
"Do you think Terauchi Yusuke is trustworthy?" Tsunade asked.
"Why do you think of him?" Shizune asked puzzled.
Tsunade sighed and shook her head.
When she didn't come back, she felt that the Uchiha clan's crisis was not unsolvable. But when she was actually in crisis, she realized that it was really a dead end.
…
Uchiha Itachi followed Danzo, but his mind was thinking about the conversation with Tsunade.
Gradually there was a realization in my mind that Tsunade might really be worth a try.
However, the Uchiha clan does have a rebellious heart, and he does not agree with the Uchiha clan's actions. Therefore, how to let Tsunade prevent this internal strife is particularly critical.
"Sorry for interrupting your conversation with Tsunade-sama." Danzo walked towards the back alley.
"No. As a member of ANBU, I have the responsibility to perform tasks."
Although he said this, Uchiha Itachi's vigilance towards Danzo did not diminish.
"I have no choice but to ask you to come out and help. It's good that you didn't refuse. The task is actually simple. Someone discovered that Orochimaru appeared near the village. I plan to let you and the two of them go and investigate."
"Orochimaru!?" Itachi Uchiha immediately became energetic.
"That's right. You are not his opponent yet, so you just need to find out his traces and report back to me." Danzo said.
