Since the distance was a bit far, Uchiha Itachi and his team could only watch silently as the top officials of the two villages made various strange behaviors when they returned to the village.
At the end, I don’t know if Jiraiya said something wrong again, but he was kicked away by Tsunade...
Kisame Mikigaki grinned, looked at the boy beside him and said, "It seems that Itachi-kun's teacher is not doing well today..."
"Tsunade-sama will be merciful...right?"
"It's hard to say, after all, Master Jiraiya has always had a bad reputation in the village..."
The team discussed for a while, and Kakashi Hatake volunteered to check on Jiraiya's condition. He would be responsible for sending the old man to the hospital.
Kakashi's movements quickly attracted the attention of several blondes with twin tails. She leaned over and looked at the crowd underground and shouted loudly: "I'm finally back! Kid!"
These words made Uchiha Itachi's heart tremble...
Soon he remembered what he had done before leaving Konoha, inducing Tsunade to go to the casino in the Land of Waves. Later, he heard in Amegakure Village that she and the first generation lost the casino...
Tsunade jumped down and stood in front of everyone. She put a hand on Itachi's shoulder and showed a fierce look: "You have done good things in the country of waves!"
A crow's head suddenly appeared from the young Jonin's backpack. It looked at Tsunade curiously and seemed to be flapping its wings to fly out.
The blond man with twin tails had quick eyes and quick hands. He held his backpack with one hand and said in a deep voice: "Forget it, let's go find a place first and talk about business! I have something important to see you!"
Ever since they received the news that their reconnaissance team had evacuated from Amegakure Village, Tsunade or Shizune had been waiting near the gate of Konoha Village almost every day, fearing that Itachi Uchiha would go to see the Third Hokage immediately to report the situation.
Could it be that after knowing that he had two Hokages behind him, he didn't even pay attention to the Third Hokage!
This woman is really arrogant...
Tsunade randomly found a pub, but when the shop owner saw Uchiha Itachi, who was underage, he told him that he could not serve him: "Even Itachi-sama cannot drink at this age! The police force has recently cracked down on those who serve minors.
Tavern…”
"Oh? What happened to the police force?"
"I heard that he was the youngest son of the captain of the police force. I don't know what stimulated him. He secretly drank a lot at home, but he caused a lot of trouble!"
As the tavern owner spoke, he looked at the young jounin awkwardly: "It seems that kid is Lord Itachi's younger brother..."
Uchiha Itachi: "..."
How long had he been out before Sasuke caused trouble again? And if a six-year-old kid drank secretly, he would be beaten to death by Fugaku!
"What happened next?"
The young jounin frowned and asked anxiously.
Even the crow in his backpack felt his emotions. It popped up out of nowhere and listened carefully...
The tavern owner shook his head in embarrassment and said, "That's not very clear..."
"Don't worry. That brat Sasuke is fine. His body is all covered with skin wounds. Fugaku should have beaten him..." Tsunade understood the situation quite well and replied casually: "I was discharged from the hospital a few days ago. Shizune said it was nothing serious.
…”
Uchiha Itachi breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Beihara strangely. Unsurprisingly, he saw the loneliness and regret in the crow's eyes...
Tsunade waved her hand and said to the tavern owner: "Okay, let's use this place to talk about something now..."
"Please forgive me for refusing."
The shop owner's expression was serious.
However, what he met was an unreasonable old woman.
Tsunade lowered her head and thought for a while, then suddenly grabbed the boss by the collar and threw him out of the store... It was so arrogant...
One minute later.
Uchiha Itachi looked at the evasive shop owner and said in a low voice: "Tsunade-sama...that's so rude!"
"Hey! Kid, don't come and accuse me!"
The blond woman with twin ponytails threw him a bottle of water and drank the wine by herself: "With your brother's temperament, he might be admitted to Konoha Hospital often... I am the medical director of Konoha!"
The young disciple showed his face for the first time. He shook his head and retorted seriously: "Sasuke will never be as bad as you think. I believe he will be able to surpass me and all the Uchiha ancestors in the future...
"
"...Kid, don't say this in front of other people in the future..." Tsunade sneered and interrupted him casually: "What you said will make people laugh to death in Konoha!"
"I believe Sasuke..."
"But everyone in Konoha thinks that Sasuke, that brat, has disgraced all of you Uchiha! Do you believe it will work?"
Tsunade took a sip of wine, pointed at the crow in his backpack and said, "If nothing else, isn't Beihara a great sage? Ask him if he believes in Sasuke?"
Crow shook his head in a dignified manner.
A woman, a bird, directly destroys the situation.
The young jounin held his sleeves and leaned half on the chair: "Let's talk business first! Normally, Tsunade-sama would not just appear on the streets of Konoha..."
"Kid, I didn't expect you to understand me quite well..."
The blond man with twin ponytails nodded and continued: "A lot of things have happened in Konoha recently. Danzo Shimura sent out several root teams some time ago..."
"...This matter should be confidential, right?"
"I don't know where the news came from. It spread throughout Konoha..." Tsunade chuckled and said, "That old guy is so embarrassing!"
"What was the outcome?"
Uchiha Itachi asked absently. In fact, he probably already had a guess in his mind. There were many people in Konoha targeting Shimura Danzo...
However, he did nothing and sent people to keep an eye on Danzo...
You also need to understand the rules of action of the root ninja...
Who else could be there besides the young man who sweeps the floor at Nanga Shrine every day?
"The results are not good. During this period, the negative news about the root ninja has almost never stopped..."
Tsunade's face looked a little unpleasant: "The root was originally an ANBU training class and should be Konoha's secret organization. Suddenly it was made public, making the village very passive..."
The blond hair shook slightly, Tsunade raised her head, looked at the somewhat absent-minded young man, and said in a deep voice: "And recently your father is proposing to ban the roots, and the old man does not agree..."
This incident also marked a new conflict between the Uchiha clan and the Third Hokage. Of course, it was just a small matter compared to what she wanted to say next.
As the strength of the Uchiha clan becomes stronger and stronger, Uchiha Fugaku's power is also growing. A few years ago, he was still questioned by the ANBU and was not allowed to approach the Kyuubi...
What now!
The old father can already propose to ban the most mysterious root organization in ANBU!
"The behavior at the root really shouldn't be allowed..."
Uchiha Itachi's eyes twitched and continued: "Kitahara and Lord Shodaime found out that a root team attacked the Iwa Ninja outpost of the Earth Kingdom in an attempt to provoke a war..."
"The attack on the Iwa Ninja outpost or something like that is irrelevant..."
Tsunade sighed and said: "Just yesterday, many Uchiha ninjas personally testified that on the night of the Nine-Tails Rebellion, the Uchiha clan wanted to assist the ANBU in the village to suppress the Nine-Tails, but Danzo Shimura ordered
Not allowed to participate in combat..."
"Some Uchiha people have accused Shimura Danzo of deliberately framing the Yondaime and his wife to die in battle in order to seize the position of Hokage..."
"There are also some people who accuse the Uchiha clan of causing the Nine-Tails Rebellion..."
"What happened yesterday?"
Uchiha Itachi quickly interrupted her and looked at her doubtfully: "Tsunade-sama...how long have I been away from Konoha?"
What are you doing!
Why do I feel so disconnected from Konoha society?
