The first important thing Uchiha Itachi did after returning to Konoha was to report to the Ministry of Defense. His stay in Yunin Village was an order from his immediate superior, Jiraiya, and the outing report also needed to be submitted to Jiraiya.
The old white man was supervising the daily training of the Defense Department at the training ground. There was a new guard team beside him, and Itachi's original teammates Hyuga Hizashi and Kakashi were missing.
what's the situation?
I went on a business trip and my job was gone when I came back?
"Oh, I'm finally back."
Jiraiya looked at the return of his proud disciple and chuckled: "Itachi, how is Tsunade doing lately? I have good news to tell you!"
"This is my mission report, things are complicated."
The young man handed over a document, glanced at the people on guard around him, and asked doubtfully: "Why don't you see Hinata Hizashi-senpai and the others? Teacher, what is going on?"
"They were transferred away! Last month, they went to Sawa Country and cleared away the wandering ninjas that were causing harm on the border, but they were all transferred away by the old man."
Jiraiya sighed sadly and said: "The Ministry of Defense is just a step for their promotion. In the end, the only ones left here to depend on each other are us master and apprentice!"
Uchiha Itachi: "..."
"That guy Kakashi has been transferred to the Anbu as captain by the old man again. The intelligence aspect is quite important."
"That hot-blooded boy was transferred out to form the Kaiban. Tsk, the old man is really heartless. He actually dared to let him out to take charge of his own affairs."
"Originally, Hizashi could have stayed. Unfortunately, Hizashi has been busy recently and applied to transfer Hizashi away from the Ministry of Defense. He will be a full-time tutor and teach children. After all, Hyuuga is a wealthy family that values inheritance."
Uchiha Itachi: "..."
No matter what, Uchiha is still the largest clan in Konoha. How come the eldest son of the patriarch's family doesn't know that there is such a position as a tutor? Isn't it enough for the father to take the time to hold it concurrently?
You can't ask. If you ask, the Uchiha are too poor.
Jiraiya seemed to have thought of something as he spoke, and added: "Speaking of which, it has something to do with Fugaku..."
"Is it related to dad?" The young man raised his head curiously.
"Recently, the old man has implemented a rotation system, and the workload has increased a lot. I don't know what Fugaku thinks, but he and Rizu are colluding with each other..."
The young man looked at Jiraiya resentfully: "Teacher..."
"Oh, that's pretty much what it means. Even though the workload has increased, the two of them are still ostracizing Danzo together. I don't know what they are thinking..."
Jiraiya looked at the document in his hand, and gradually stopped talking. His brows wrinkled from time to time, and occasionally relaxed.
The rotation of ninjas in each department, while ensuring the normal operation of the original department, was proposed by Danzo and decided by the Third Hokage. It was mainly for the new generation of ninjas in the village to quickly adapt to large-scale collective operations after short-term training.
Danzo-sama's original intention was to recruit ninjas who were not interested in the Sharingan clan to intensify the conflict between the two sides, squeeze Uchiha out of the Defense Ministry, and then kick Fugaku out of Konoha's political participation. This was an honest conspiracy.
Fugaku had no reason to disagree.
The problem is that after Fugaku and Hizashi had a drink, the defense department's struggle took a turn for the worse, and Danzo-sama was isolated.
Every person transferred to the Ministry of Defense needs to be approved by at least two chief executives. If Danzo has any objections, he must submit it to Jiraiya for a decision.
If you still have any objections, you can ask the Hokage to intervene forcibly.
With Jiraiya's temperament, he would definitely leave everything to the Third Hokage, as he was too lazy to pay attention to Danzo's nagging.
Sarutobi Hiruzen checked the three candidates for chief executive and spent the afternoon smoking in Danzo's office. Danzo rarely appeared in the Ministry of Defense.
After Jiraiya read his disciple's outing report, he felt a little uncomfortable: "Have you met Konan and Nagato? That guy Orochimaru is really crazy!"
"Jiraiya-sensei, we didn't meet Orochimaru..."
The crows on Uchiha Itachi's shoulders were awakened!
There was no mention of scientist in the boy's mission report. Can the old man Bai also be connected to Orochimaru?
Why do you think everything is done by Orochimaru?
Moreover, the old man Bai is really not without any credentials...
Jiraiya punched the tree next to him: "The Elephant Turn Jutsu you mentioned in your report was told to you by Kitahara, right?"
"He must have researched this forbidden technique! He has also seen those three little guys... He must be manipulating Nagato and Konan behind the scenes! The last corpses they left behind were used as sacrifices
Innocent ninja, right?"
What this says... does make sense.
For people who don't know the Shogun Jutsu, after seeing the strangeness of this technique, the first impression must be that Orochimaru did it. He used living people as sacrifices to summon more powerful ninjas. How come there is Orochimaru?
Maru’s shadow…
The Earth Reincarnation Jutsu is more powerful than the Elephant Turn Jutsu, and there are too many things in common between the two. Jiraiya probably thinks that the Elephant Turn Jutsu was developed by an old friend after studying forbidden surgery...
No wonder Tsunade didn't look good at that time. She didn't mention Konan and others too much after the battle. Maybe she also thought Orochimaru was the mastermind behind it, right?
"That guy has become more and more unscrupulous after defecting!"
Jiraiya rubbed his eyebrows before looking at his disciple: "I will report this to the old man. You did a good job."
"But don't let others know about the reincarnation eye yet."
The old man planned to go back and discuss with Hiruzen Sarutobi. He would take time to go to Amegakure Village to explore Orochimaru's whereabouts, and also to confirm whether his three former disciples were still alive...
However, the disciple in front of him obviously didn't want to give him a chance to go out... and he took the initiative to create a big trouble for him.
Uchiha Itachi waited until Jiraiya calmed down and said: "There is another thing that is a private commission from Tsunade-sama. If it is not included in the mission report, she will be back soon."
"Come back as soon as you come back. There's nothing bad to say. Her grandfather is the Shodaime..." Jiraiya muttered, and suddenly his eyes widened in disbelief: "She's coming back?"
"Yes, but there are some little troubles."
Uchiha Itachi thought about the details Shizune told him, and briefly expressed his speculations, many of which were about Tsunade suffering from anemia and being kicked out of the medical department by the village's senior officials.
Tsunade had anemia, which was not hidden from Itachi, who was very observant.
There is no way that there are no condiments such as ketchup in his snack list... Tsunade is indeed too sensitive, so sensitive that no one will doubt her.
It made Beiyuan even want to praise his kid's imagination.
They all feel that there is something wrong with the ninja world where they appear? When did the intrigue among Konoha's top brass become so powerful?
But...it's really awesome.
Jiraiya's first reaction was that it was impossible.
"Tsunade left on her own initiative! She is the granddaughter of the first Hokage. Even if she wants to become Hokage, there is no way she would have any objections to her transfer to Advisor Koharu..."
"But... Sister Shizune's side..."
Jiraiya's expression changed: "Shizune?"
Although he has always despised Shizune's washboard, he also knows the relationship between Shizune and Tsunade, and the little girl has taken care of Tsunade for several years, and her behavior is very reliable...
The old man finally nodded and said, "You can't tell others about this, I've written it down... It's really troublesome!"
"I don't know what the old man is thinking inside..."
"After all, the war had not completely calmed down at that time..."
