Jiraiya's search for his disciple was just a routine notification. As a ninja with sage mode, he knew that Itachi's strength could easily handle the level... This was the confidence derived from strength.
But ten years later, Jiraiya discovered one thing in despair. Even if some ninjas turned on the sage mode, they might still be in the genin class, or even because that genin appeared in the rules of the chuunin exam that prohibits the sage mode...
The matter is rather complicated. No one would believe that someone could directly jump from genin to become Hokage... This span is so big that you only need to see it once in your life.
Uchiha Itachi is even more confident than Jiraiya. The little boy has been developing his own senjutsu recently. He is taking the chuunin exam and so on. How can it be more difficult than stopping the crow and Sasuke from quarreling?
And after careful calculation, there are no genin in the Uchiha clan who can activate the Sharingan. A certain crane who was criticized in the past also participated in the assessment many times and successfully promoted to chuunin.
That guy is almost a rare tail end among the Uchiha clan...
Of course, the little boy would not have thought that in the original history, a certain kid would lower the lower limit of Uchiha again. The only remaining Uchiha in Konoha would probably be a genin for the rest of his life...
Two thousand-year-old genin used their blind operations to successfully cause people to disagree on the hierarchy of Konoha ninjas. Konoha genin... finally became synonymous with the strong in the ninja world.
"Is Itachi-kun going to be a chuunin like Shisui-kun soon?" Uchiha Izumi looked at this, at that, and finally at herself... The face of the ninja school student turned a little red.
"If there are no big problems..." Itachi scratched his head and looked at his friend: "Shishui should be promoted to Jonin, right?"
Uchiha Shisui would not hide it: "Well, after returning from the Land of Grass, the Hokage and I talked, and I will probably come down with other jounin appointments..."
"More powerful than Hatake Kakashi-senpai!"
Uchiha Itachi had to praise out loud that Shisui was not active enough in the village and always accomplished things that others could not achieve in their lifetimes without even realizing it.
"Itachi will definitely be more powerful than me in the future!" Shisui took advantage of him not paying attention, touched the little boy's hair, and continued talking about the Chunin Examination gently.
"There are many people taking part in the Chunin Exam, including people from outside the Ninja Village. I wonder if there will be any changes in the rules...Itachi, be careful, you might have a chance to be attacked by those people!"
"Well, we can't bring Beihara on stage..."
"It's allowed according to the exam rules..."
Uchiha Shisui and Itachi were talking and walking out side by side involuntarily... This was their habitual action after training together.
However, there was another person in the training ground... Uchiha Izumi felt a little frustrated because she couldn't get a word in. In the blink of an eye, the two of them had already walked far away.
The lonely Izumi was in a very depressed mood: "...Who are they? One by one...they ruined other people's dates, either Shisui or his younger brother..."
"Gah..."
The crow finished eating the snacks and fruits, left them in a mess on the ground, flew into the air, and caught up with them.
Izumi reluctantly raised her eyelids and watched the dark bird landing on Itachi's shoulder: "...even...there are crows..."
His voice sounded a little sad...that guy Shisui had a dark heart.
The registration requirements for the Chuunin Exam are very high. The ninjas on the list need to go through a series of commissioned missions. After Jiraiya got the news, he shamelessly pestered the Sandaime to find a way.
The original mission of recovering Orochimaru was not completed, but with the help of the Third Hokage, Itachi Uchiha completed two high-level missions, destroying Orochimaru's base and spying on intelligence.
Each and every one of them is worried about their disciples...getting on the bus first and paying for the tickets later...
However, Sarutobi Hiruzen is not considered a private favor, this matter is profitable...the benefits are not small, for example, the proceeds from the mission will be handed over to the village.
Hokage Building.
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked eagerly at the little boy's ninja bag. He initially thought it was just a routine inquiry, but to his surprise, Uchiha Itachi actually took out seven or eight seal scrolls one after another.
In addition to a huge amount of money, there are also other ninja tools and experimental tools. What a treasure boy!
Of course Sarutobi Hiruzen thought this was something Orochimaru took away from Konoha, and never thought that his traitor had worked so hard to accumulate it.
"These are all the seizures from Orochimaru's base..." Itachi Uchiha took out the last seal scroll and a photo frame without hesitation.
Crow clicked his tongue. His cub has never had a concept of money. When he really needs to make money...
You will realize... how hard it is to earn money and how hard it is to spend it.
"The mission was well done, Itachi." Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded and praised in a sanctimonious manner, then he flipped through the seal scroll and counted the data in it.
There is never a time when Konoha's finances are not tight. The monetary value alone is enough to buy Asuma's stupid boy's head dozens of times...
Hiruzen Sarutobi held his pipe in his mouth with satisfaction: "Is there any other information besides this? I have read the subsequent battle report, and the scene was still very tragic..."
"Time was too short and I couldn't search the entire base in time. This is all I found." Uchiha Itachi shook his head. At that time, he only wanted to rescue the little carrots.
Jiraiya looked at the photo frame on the table in surprise and said softly: "I didn't expect that he still kept this photo..."
"Orochimaru just took the wrong path!" Sarutobi Hiruzen grabbed the photo frame with one hand. He had not seen this photo for a long time since Asuma was born.
The old man was very emotional. During that time, he and his three disciples got along very happily. They were young and energetic...until he saw the traces on the back of the photo frame that were often opened.
A thin notebook fell out...
Sarutobi Hiruzen gradually became fascinated by what he was looking at, causing Jiraiya to lean over curiously: "Are these his experimental research notes over the years?"
"No...just see for yourself..."
The Third Hokage put his notebook on the table and walked to the window: "Although someone conspired to reveal to me that Orochimaru was conducting prohibited experiments in private, the evidence is conclusive."
"Who reported it?" Jiraiya turned over the diary in his notebook and kept mumbling: "Asshole! How dare you look down on me! I saved him once before!"
"Obviously he was injured by Tsunade because he was too weak! He must also be blamed on me..."
"He actually had a very good relationship with Tsunade before...and he kept it secret and didn't want me to know!"
As Jiraiya browsed for longer and longer, the Hokage's office gradually became quiet... The Third Hokage did not answer Jiraiya's question, but just lowered his head and played with the photo frame.
The Konoha Sannin looked more and more attentively at the end of the crane. Since he often practices in Mt. Myoboku, he doesn't know many things that Orochimaru has experienced...
It wasn't until he finished flipping through it that he looked up and saw Itachi Uchiha, who had been standing quietly, and said fiercely: "Kid, have you seen the things in this?"
