A piece of news spread quickly from Konoha, and soon spread throughout the ninja world.
The murderer of the thousand-year-old Uchiha clan, the traitorous ninja Uchiha Itachi wanted by Konoha, was arrested and will be publicly executed at ten o'clock in the morning three days later.
This news can be said to have made the whole of Konoha excited. The Uchiha clan was exterminated, which was a major event that had never happened since the founding of Konoha. I don’t know how many people were shocked, and it even made many ninjas feel chilled.
.
Now, Uchiha Itachi, the murderer of the genocide, has been caught. This is something that even the third Hokage failed to do when he was on the throne.
Tsunade also gained an unexpected benefit, that is, her prestige and reputation among the ninja community were once again improved.
Tsunade-sama is a capable Hokage.
In the cruel ninja world, the ninjas of each village have only one expectation, or requirement, for their own shadow, and that is to have the ability and means to protect the safety of the village, and to grab more funds and task shares for the village.
.
"Jiraiya, do you think Kizaru had expected such a situation?" Sitting in the Hokage's seat, after just hearing the praise of the village ninjas from Shizune, Tsunade responded to Kizaru's comments.
I am more and more impressed by his scheming and strategizing.
"Ah! That should be it!" Jiraiya's mind was still recalling the advice Kizaru gave him last night.
"What's wrong with you guy? You've been absent-minded since this morning." Tsunade was dissatisfied with Jiraiya's attitude.
"Ahaha! I drank some wine last night and didn't have a good rest." Jiraiya explained with a dry smile.
Tsunade could see Jiraiya's excuse at a glance. Instead of exposing her friend's lie, she withdrew her gaze and continued to deal with the matters at hand.
Jiraiya, who was standing diagonally behind Tsunade, looked at Tsunade who was immersed in work, and was very hesitant in his heart, wondering whether he should adopt Kizaru's suggestion.
"Jiraiya! What does a woman of Tsunade's age want from a man? It's either eye-catching or intimate. The first fact proves that you are not Tsunade's type. You can try the second one."
Kizaru talked a lot about his experience of watching TV series in his previous life, which can be summed up in one word.
Jiraiya felt that Kizaru said a lot, and decided to transform into Fu Laiya.
Jiraiya looked at Tsunade in front of him, and after hesitating for a moment, he decided to take the first step bravely.
He walked to the side of Tsunade's desk, put his right hand on the table, and looked at Tsunade with electric eyes.
"Tsunade, it must be very hard for you to get up early in the morning to work! Have you had breakfast? I'll buy it for you."
Tsunade stopped what she was doing and looked up at Jiraiya. She felt a chill all over her body. She wondered what was wrong with this guy today?
"Tsunade, what do you want to eat?"
"Get out!" Veins appeared on Tsunade's forehead. She felt that Jiraiya was here to disgust her this morning.
"Yes!" Under Tsunade's murderous gaze, Jiraiya instantly returned to normal and left the office dejectedly.
I knew that Kizaru's method was useless.
——
In the underground base where Orochimaru was hiding, Orochimaru, whose body had reached its limit, was lying on the treatment chair very weakly.
He has cultivated Sasuke for more than three years, and now it is time to reap the fruits.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Orochimaru's pale face.
The bloodline of the Uchiha clan, Itachi's biological brother, what a tempting fruit!
"Lord Orochimaru, we just received the information that Sasuke's brother Uchiha Itachi was captured by Konoha. Konoha announced that a public execution will be held at ten o'clock in the morning three days later."
After receiving important information, Kabuto immediately rushed to Orochimaru's laboratory to report the news.
"Ahem!" Perhaps the news was too shocking. After Orochimaru coughed a few times, he forced himself to sit upright from the recliner.
"Who can catch Itachi in Konoha now? There must be something wrong here." Orochimaru said with great certainty.
"I have sent people to find out the inside story." Kabuto walked to Orochimaru's side.
"Unfortunately, Danzo is dead." Danzo is Orochimaru's partner, and the two have kept in touch privately.
"Lord Orochimaru, do you want to tell Sasuke about this?" Kabuto asked.
"No, now is the critical moment, don't let Sasuke be affected." Orochimaru could already imagine that Sasuke's reaction after knowing the news would be to return to Konoha desperately.
"I will block the good news." Kabuto promised.
Orochimaru nodded slightly, and with low energy, he waved for Kabuto to leave.
At noon, Sasuke completed his training at the training ground. After lunch, he returned to his room to prepare for a lunch break.
For the past three years, Sasuke has been training like an ascetic in order to gain the strength to defeat Itachi.
Without even taking off his shoes, Sasuke lay directly on the bed, facing the wall, closing his eyes and relaxing.
At this moment, someone opened the door that Sasuke had closed. Hearing the noise, Sasuke remained sleeping and just opened his eyes.
The person who walked into the house seemed to have no idea how to sneak in. He did not hide his steps and approached Sasuke very casually.
Sasuke waited patiently for the uninvited guest to approach, and then like a cheetah, he stood up suddenly, grabbed the pheasant sword in his hand, and stabbed the visitor.
"Oh ho ho! I almost died. Young people today are really scary!" Kizaru took a small step back, just avoiding the sharp sword blade.
With the cool grass pheasant sword pointed at his throat, Kizaru made a gesture of surrender and raised his hands.
"Who sent you here?" Sasuke confirmed that he had never seen this person at the base.
"Konoha." Kizaru smiled.
Sasuke looked at Kizaru with a frosty face, his eyes full of coldness and murderous intent, "Tell me why you're here."
"Hokage-sama asked me to convey a message to you, your dear brother."
"Shut up!" If he hadn't wanted to know the news from Konoha, Sasuke would have killed the bastard in front of him.
Uchiha Itachi is not worthy of being his older brother.
"Okay! That beast Uchiha Itachi" Kizaru said in a different way.
"Shut up!" Sasuke felt even more uncomfortable, "Just tell me the rest of the news."
"Beep beep beep was caught, and he will be publicly executed at ten o'clock in the morning three days later." Kizaru said with a smile.
Sasuke couldn't care less about Kizaru's funny words at the beginning. His hand holding the sword trembled, and his cold expression was like cracked ice, full of shock.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could you possibly catch that bastard!" Sasuke didn't believe what the man in front of him who called himself a Konoha ninja said.
"Really, I'm not lying to you! I caught it myself!" As an honest person, Kizaru told the truth.
"Just you?" Sasuke could feel that the guy in front of him had only a weak flow of chakra in his body.
Ninjas only extract large amounts of chakra when fighting. The guy in front of me has little chakra. It can be said that he is hiding his strength.
However, if he is really a strong person, it is impossible for him to be unable to even master the most basic hidden chakra flow.
Based on this alone, Sasuke could conclude that the guy in front of him was not that strong. It was impossible for such a person to defeat Itachi.
"Normal means. I am indeed no match for Beep Beep. I just used my brain." Kizaru raised his right hand and pointed at his temple.
Kizaru's explanation made Sasuke even more angry. He felt that the bastard in front of him was mocking him and Itachi.
You caught Itachi by using your brain, but that doesn't mean Itachi has no brain. If Itachi doesn't have a brain, what's the point of being defeated by Itachi's subordinates? What's the point of practicing hard for three years?
"If you talk nonsense again, I'll kill you right now!" If it hadn't been about Itachi, Sasuke would have wanted to kill the bastard in front of him right now.
"Everything I said is true. I found Itachi and told him that you were captured by Konoha and were about to be executed. After hearing the news, Itachi gave up resistance and voluntarily returned to Konoha with me." Kizaru was truthful.
said.
The sword in Sasuke's hand thrust forward a little further, and the sharp tip of the sword was already at Kizaru's throat, ready to pierce him at any time.
"You are lying. Will Itachi give up resistance and return to Konoha voluntarily for me? Do you think I don't know the nature of that bastard?" Sasuke became more and more angry. He felt that the guy in front of him was simply lying.
"Didn't anyone here tell you the news? The news of Itachi's arrest has spread throughout the ninja world." Kizaru showed a confused expression.
Kizaru's words shook Sasuke's heart. He put down his sword hand and looked at Kizaru carefully.
"You stay here, and I will confirm the news. If I find out that you are lying to me, you will be dead." Sasuke finally threatened.
After saying that, Sasuke didn't care whether Kizaru would stay in the room obediently, and walked directly out of the room.
To him, anything other than Itachi was insignificant.
Rushing out of the room, Sasuke found Kabuto immediately.
"Kabuto, that bastard Uchiha Itachi was captured by Konoha, right?" Sasuke asked directly in a questioning tone.
Kabuto didn't expect Sasuke to know the news so quickly. He thought in his heart who revealed the news to Sasuke and smiled gently.
Kabuto raised his hand to adjust his glasses, and under Sasuke's gaze, he said: "There is indeed this news circulating, but I haven't confirmed whether the information is true or false. I was originally planning to wait until it was confirmed before telling you."
"How long will it take to know the result?" Sasuke asked dissatisfiedly.
"Three days later." Kabuto replied calmly.
Sasuke was about to nod when he suddenly realized. In three days, it will be the day when Itachi will be executed. Everyone will die. What's the use of confirming whether the information is true or false? The only way to determine whether the information is true or false is to see if the people have been executed.
?
"I want to go to Konoha." Sasuke said in an undeniably strong tone.
"I'm sorry, Orochimaru-sama gave an order not to allow anyone to leave the base." Kabuto maintained his previous gentle tone, but his attitude was very tough.
"I'm just informing you." Sasuke said coldly.
After saying that, Sasuke turned around and prepared to return to the room to find the messenger sent by Konoha.
Of course, Kabuto couldn't watch Sasuke leave, so he quickly came to Sasuke and stopped him from advancing.
"If you want to leave, you must get permission from Lord Orochimaru." Kabuto insisted.
"Get out of the way." Sasuke didn't want to fight Kabuto here. He was confident of defeating Kabuto and escaping from the base, but he didn't want to waste time and energy here. "Tell Orochimaru that I will come back after I finish solving the problem. I promise.
He will not break his promise when it comes to his affairs, and Uchiha people will keep their word."
Kabuto didn't speak or move away, he just continued to stand in front of Sasuke and showed his attitude through actions.
Seeing this, Sasuke lost his patience. He raised his right hand and placed it on the hilt of the sword at his waist.
A battle seems inevitable.
"Kabuto, let him go!" Orochimaru's voice suddenly sounded from the end of the corridor.
Kabuto stepped aside half a step and saw Orochimaru's figure at the corner at the end of the aisle behind Sasuke.
Orochimaru was not in good condition. He hung his hands by his legs and looked ahead expressionlessly.
"Yes!" After confirming that the visitor was indeed Orochimaru, Kabuto obediently stepped aside.
"Orochimaru, I will be back." Sasuke looked sideways at Orochimaru and made a promise.
"Don't die in Konoha, that will make me very disappointed." A smile appeared on Orochimaru's face.
Sasuke didn't reply and turned around and left.
Watching Sasuke run away, Kabuto quickly came to Orochimaru's side and said, "Lord Orochimaru, should we send someone to follow Sasuke."
"No, if he dies, it means he is just a failed work." Orochimaru said calmly as Sasuke disappeared.
"Yes." Kabuto replied.
Sasuke ran back to the room and found Kizaru sitting on his bed very leisurely with his legs crossed.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "You can leave and tell the Hokage that I will return to Konoha to personally determine the authenticity of the news. You'd better not lie to me!" Sasuke said coldly.
"How heartless!" Kizaru complained.
As soon as he finished speaking, Kizaru disappeared out of thin air in front of Sasuke.
Seeing this scene, Sasuke was slightly startled. He carefully looked around the room to make sure that he did not find the aura of the disappeared Konoha messenger.
Genjutsu? Or space-time ninjutsu? Sasuke guessed in his mind.
That night, Sasuke, who was on his way in a hurry, successfully sneaked into Konoha Village.
Entering Konoha, Sasuke heard people discussing the news of Itachi's imminent execution in almost every corner of the village.
This discovery forced Sasuke to believe in his heart that Itachi had indeed been captured by Konoha.
That bastard is nothing more than that! He was tricked into returning to the village by Konoha's ninjas. What a fool! It's simply a disgrace to Uchiha.
There was a hint of happiness in Uchiha's heart, but more of it was an inexplicable anger and anxiety, as well as a trace of worry that he didn't feel, or that he deliberately ignored.
After learning that Itachi was imprisoned in Konoha Prison, Sasuke just took a short rest and chose to take the risk and sneak into the prison without fully recovering.
He wanted to meet the bastard Itachi and ask him why he was captured by Konoha so easily?
This guy Itachi can only die in his own hands.
With this belief, Sasuke relied on infiltration skills and illusions to easily enter Konoha Prison.
"Brother Itachi, your dear brother seems to have come to find you." The moment Sasuke sneaked into Konoha, Kizaru locked onto his aura. He guessed that Sasuke would come to the prison to look for Itachi as soon as possible.
Therefore, he waited in the private room where Itachi was kept.
In order to prevent Sasuke from failing to infiltrate, Kizaru also specifically told Tsunade to signal the ninjas below to relax the prison's defense.
"Too impulsive, Sasuke." Itachi felt complicated at the thought of seeing Sasuke soon and telling him the truth.
"It seems that you are not qualified to criticize Sasuke for being impulsive and directly slaughtering the entire clan." Kizaru said very directly what made Itachi most uncomfortable.
Hearing Kizaru's words, Itachi fell silent. He didn't give any explanation, maybe because he couldn't find a reason to explain.
