Jiraiya is a little panicked. He has always had a good image in front of his disciples... This diary written by Orochimaru has greatly damaged his reputation.
Although the records in Orochimaru's notebook are all trivial matters from the teenage years of the Sannin of Konoha... most of them are the dark history of Jiraiya's past.
"this…"
Itachi felt that if he said he hadn't read it, it would be an insult to the teacher's intelligence. After all, the crow on his shoulder was jumping happily.
Jiraiya saw that Itachi was not even willing to insult his own intelligence and save face for a step, and he was a little frustrated for a while: "I'd better go find Orochimaru..."
joke…
Among the Sannin of Konoha, Jiraiya valued friendship the most. If he could remain indifferent after seeing the notebook and photo frame collected by Orochimaru... then he would not call himself a hero.
"Itachi, you have to stay in the village to continue training and prepare for the Chunin Exam. I will come back to check at any time!"
"...Jiraiya-sensei..."
Uchiha Itachi was in a trance, feeling that he didn't quite understand the feelings between them, so he could only look at the Third Hokage with pleading eyes.
It wasn't until Jiraiya pushed open the door that Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly spoke to stop him: "Jiraiya!"
"Orochimaru has gone astray, and the mistakes he has made cannot be tolerated by the village... Jiraiya..."
"He's not coming back!"
Jiraiya suddenly stretched out his thumb and said with a bold smile: "I am the white-haired boy of the Sannin of Konoha! As long as I have perseverance, I will definitely persuade him to come back!"
"..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen lost his voice for a moment. He was also very sad about his disciple's mistakes... He brought them up like a teacher and a father. If Jiraiya can really bring Orochimaru back...
As the Third Hokage, he may not be able to give Orochimaru a way out... Well... Danzo has become more and more annoying recently.
After Jiraiya left, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the little boy who was still standing there: "Itachi, before the chunin exams, I will temporarily incorporate you into the Shisui squad!"
"yes!"
"After you pass the chuunin exam, if Jiraiya hasn't come back yet, then join the ANBU with Shisui!"
The arrangement of the Third Hokage was very reasonable, and no one could fault it... except the man who wanted to transfer Shisui into the roots...
Uchiha Shisui is a descendant of Kagami. Whether he enters the direct ANBU of Hokage or the roots of Shimura Danzo, they are the supporters of their old friends and descendants.
Due to the recent departure of Jiraiya, Uchiha Itachi is in a gap period. The moderate Shisui is temporarily appointed as Itachi's boss, which does not mean that the talent is buried.
This incident actually made the two Uchihas very happy...they could hang out together whether they were at work or after get off work!
Crow was stunned...The Third Hokage's arrangement was so in line with the two people's wishes, it went so smoothly!
Before being promoted to Chunin, Uchiha Itachi went out with Shisui on missions every day... After being promoted to Chunin, Uchiha Itachi directly entered the ANBU to fulfill his agreement with Fugaku.
Beiyuan secretly guessed whether someone was cheating...
This kind of life lasted until the end of the year. Uchiha Itachi was fully waiting for the Chunin Joint Examination, but the specific date was repeatedly postponed and was far away.
It seems that there is something wrong with the follow-up of the Country of Grass. There are problems in the Iwagakure Village, and Itachi can only temporarily enjoy his ninja career under the care of Shisui.
early morning.
"Sasuke, be obedient at home!"
Uchiha Itachi knocked Sasuke on the forehead, hugged the groggy Kitahara and went out...because today he and Shisui were going to the eastern border to perform a mission to deal with the recent Kirigakure ninja invasion.
So after Kitahara learned the news, he agreed to follow them on the mission... If it stayed in bed, he would take it away even if it was just a hug... Itachi listened.
So serious and so straightforward...it's hopeless...
"Ha! Itachi, why did you bring Beiyuan out?"
Shisui was already waiting outside the door. Seeing the sleeping crow in Itachi's arms, he couldn't help but smile and said, "It's so cold, how do you get it to get up?"
"Kitahara promised last night." Uchiha Itachi opened the backpack behind him, and Shisui helped him stuff the crow in...
"And we don't know how many days we will stay outside during this mission..." The little boy arranged his ninja tools while talking about things at home: "We went out for two days last month..."
"It turns out that Sasuke is too lively and often crawls around after Kitahara... Mom only goes to the kitchen to cook, and the two of them play in a mess at home..."
"...Gah..."
In his sleep, he seemed to hear someone speaking ill of him. The crow retorted casually and fell asleep again.
Itachi Uchiha heard black threads in his head: "Okay, okay, it's all Sasuke's fault, go to sleep quickly!"
"It's really not easy Itachi..." Uchiha Shisui sighed and took out the mission scroll he received.
"The ninjas at the border stronghold are still delaying the invasion of the Mist Ninjas. We must arrive at full speed today... we must intercept them at the border and cannot allow them to return to the Kingdom of Water with information!"
Uchiha Itachi frowned: "Are we just the two of us?"
The invading ninjas in Kirigakure Village are usually quite large in scale. They often use a sea ship to carry several small teams of ninjas to infiltrate the Land of Fire. The two of them are really stretched thin.
Moreover, the ninjas at the border strongholds of the Land of Fire are not strong enough to perform reconnaissance missions. Once a battle breaks out, it is difficult to say that they will play any important role.
On the other hand, in Kirigakure Village, the ANBU elites basically work together with the auxiliary chuunin team, and there are support troops always on the coastline, so they can come and go freely.
"We are just one of the teams..." Uchiha Shisui chuckled, looking at Itachi who looked cautious and continued: "I met Captain Morino Ihiki yesterday, and he will bring ANBU to support us."
Uchiha Itachi nodded: "It seems that we are on a mission to assist the ANBU this time..."
"Ha!" Shisui loaded up the mission scroll and walked forward: "Don't doubt your own strength, Itachi, you are very strong!"
Last month, they carried out a mission to eliminate the invading wandering ninjas. Faced with the troublesome bloody renegade ninjas inside, Uchiha Itachi turned on the sage mode and it was like the power of God descending. A huge dragon head directly destroyed the enemy's fighting spirit.
The issue is…
Uchiha Itachi has not yet realized how powerful he is, perhaps this is related to the fact that he has fought with Orochimaru... In his spare time, the little boy still practices Taijutsu and Senjutsu.
Itachi Uchiha knew in his heart that Kitahara had not yet recognized his strength, and even thought that this was just the beginning of a ninja...
After all, the cute mushroom cloud that Kitahara once released left a deep impression on him...
Coupled with the basic ninja knowledge and ninjutsu information that Jiraiya once carefully taught his disciples, Uchiha Itachi's ninjutsu confrontation and combat awareness grew rapidly.
Even if Itachi is promoted to Jonin now, Shisui won't be surprised...
Unknowingly, the little devil who once practiced shuriken seriously beside him has become a reliable ninja...
