There are some things that cannot be hidden, so it is better to spit them out as soon as possible.
A lot of secret information in Konoha is hidden from the middle and lower level ninjas for the sake of stability, but if it is still hidden from Jiraiya, it is almost a sign of distrust. The Third Hokage has no intention of concealing the information provided by Danzo.
However, it was impossible for him to directly expose the assassination attempt of his old friend, and it was impossible for Danzo Shimura to ruin the face of the older generation of Konoha executives just because of Danzo Shimura.
After summarizing the intelligence from both sides, they came to a conclusion: Konoha's newly minted rebel ninja Yin Yang, or Zetsu, was extremely good at the Flying Thunder God technique after being created by Orochimaru, but he never revealed his talent for wood escape.
I have been sent privately by Orochimaru.
After Orochimaru defected, Zetsu decisively chose to defect to Konoha... As for why he went to the Country of Grass, maybe there was Orochimaru's stronghold there, or maybe it was because Orochimaru had other plans.
This is confirmed. The border stronghold between the Land of Fire and the Land of Rain passed a piece of information about Orochimaru to Konoha, and the remaining snake sloughs at the scene confirmed his identity...
After the encounter between the traitorous Ninja of the Tianji name and Jiraiya's master and apprentice, he fled north and fought an unknown person in the Land of Rain, which happened to be close to the Land of Grass.
Beiyuan: "..."
Although I don’t know why Orochimaru is trying so hard to regain his presence, the crow intuitively thinks that Orochimaru must have been wronged... This is nonsense, it was his fault...
But Konoha did get the news by accident.
He is obviously the most hidden figure in the Mirai Akatsuki organization and the villain team, but he was exposed because of a certain old man who was fighting for power and profit... After all, who has the time to pay attention to a little Shinobi village?
"Do you need me to go to the Country of Grass?" Jiraiya looked at the latest information about the Country of Grass. The situation there is currently relatively chaotic. It is the border between Iwagakure, Sand Hidden Village and Konoha.
Four or five small countries are now almost in a state of disrepair.
The Third Ninja World War has not passed for long, and most of the ninja villages in the five major countries are still licking their wounds, and they are probably afraid of the outbreak of the war...
"...I sent Kakashi Hatake, who has had direct contact with Zetsu."
In fact, Sarutobi Hiruzen dispatched almost all the idle ANBU as much as possible, including Danzo's ANBU training class, and also deployed many ninja teams at the border.
Because some news from the Country of Grass is that Zetsu has joined the Country of Grass for a while. Although the Country of Grass has always been an ally of Konoha, it does not mean that this small country has the possibility of being controlled by Orochimaru and Zetsu.
As for the other big country close to the Grass Country, the Tsuchikage Onoki of the Iwagakure Village who is entrenched there is really not an easy person to get along with. Except for the Kirigakure Village which is too far away from them, almost all other big countries have been designed by him.
Pass.
He's a cunning guy...
So after Hiruzen Sarutobi held some high-level meetings, Danzo himself rushed there... After all, Hiruzen Sarutobi definitely defected from Danzo's subordinates.
Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly pulled out a piece of information and handed it to Jiraiya. He glanced at Uchiha Itachi cryptically: "Look at this, the situation in the village is a bit unstable."
"Uchiha..." Jiraiya understood the village's consistent policy towards Uchiha. As long as nothing harmed Konoha happened, he was indifferent to everything else.
The problem is that he has another disciple, Uchiha Itachi...
Since Konoha announced the news of the second S-class traitorous ninja, the Uchiha clan's dissatisfaction has escalated again. In just a few days, the village has received seven complaints about Konoha's security forces, including the Aburame clan and
The friction between the Uchiha clan.
What the Third Hokage meant was that Jiraiya temporarily stayed in the village with Uchiha Itachi, so that on the surface he could make a gesture of comfort. In addition, Jiraiya's presence was also a deterrent... Uchiha Fugaku's attitude was relatively neutral.
"Ha! It seems like it's just a trivial matter..." Jiraiya touched the back of his head and put down the paper in his hand: "...In this case, Itachi and I can rest in the village for a while!"
"There's one more thing..." Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed twice and waved to Uchiha Itachi to leave temporarily...their master and disciple had some private matters to discuss.
The little boy had just left the room with the crow in his arms when he heard the complaints and quarrels inside. The decibels were so loud that they could almost be heard throughout the Hokage Tower...
"The matter of succeeding as Hokage cannot be delayed any longer!"
"Hey, hey, hey! Don't make your own decisions!"
"Jiraiya, I'm already very old, and it's hard for me to have the energy to take care of things in the village... As you can see, if you can serve as Hokage, many things can be solved easily!"
"Old man, there is still your remaining chakra on this crystal ball... Let me try to see what I can see from it? Don't take it away! I have a perfect location to share with you that I have studied for a long time... Hehehehe...
"
"..."
Uchiha Itachi and Crow looked at each other in confusion.
Not long after, Jiraiya walked out with satisfaction, patted the little boy on the head and said, "Itachi, you go home first! I have some personal matters to deal with..."
Beiyuan, who wanted to follow him and have a look: "..."
Uchiha Itachi nodded and ran towards the clan with the crow, muttering to himself along the way: "Go home to see your parents and Sasuke first! Then go visit Shisui...if you have time..."
"Gah~"
Kitahara barked softly. If you have time, go and see Uchiha Izumi, right? You might as well go find a little veterinarian!
However, I would put visiting Shisui before visiting Izumi...
Cub, you are really great!
Kitahara and Itachi's social circles basically overlapped. They had countless friends in Konoha Village, but they only had Shisui, Uchiha Izumi and Inuzuka Hana.
Uchiha Itachi likes to practice fighting with Shisui, and Kitahara prefers to grab snacks with the little veterinarian. The little veterinarian is basically very busy every day, and he doesn't care about so many things...
As for Uchiha Izumi, it would be inappropriate to say that they are just familiar faces. After all, Itachi and Izumi can be considered friends, and the little girl's obvious thoughts...
When Crow and Uchiha Itachi were discussing, a small figure suddenly stopped at the street corner and shouted to them: "Itachi! Are you back?"
"..."
Kitahara was silent. Some people really can't bear to talk about it...Listen! How can this girl catch a cold? After meeting Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Izumi, whose IQ and EQ dropped sharply, completely ignored the crow...
Whether it's Shisui or Inuzuka Hana, you will definitely say hello to them in turn when you see them...
Love brain!
"Izumi, why are you here?" Uchiha Itachi looked at her curiously. Logically speaking, all the little girls should be attending classes at the ninja school at this time.
"We are practicing shuriken today, it doesn't matter if we leave early! If school ends too late, it will be difficult to buy three-color meatballs..." Izumi Uchiha said while holding the bag in her arms.
Both Uchiha Itachi and Kitahara remembered clearly at this time that the sweet shop was probably sold out, so it might not be too late to rush there.
Uchiha Itachi's face turned red, and his eyes gradually focused: "...We haven't seen each other for a while, want to sit together?"
"Gah..."
It's rare that Kitahara gets a little irritable and wants to beat the child... Really, give me something to do!
