The trio who returned to Konoha happened to form a harmonious four-generation family with the third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Sarutobi Hiruzen thought about the possibility that Orochimaru was the mastermind behind the scenes. Whether it was his intelligence, strategy or scheming motives, it could indeed explain why Konoha had this series of problems.
Especially when he opened the sealing scroll, he immediately confirmed that this was Senju Hashirama's cell, and he had already ordered it to be sealed.
Apart from Shimura Danzo, the only one who could get it and dared to reach out was Orochimaru. To be honest, Sarutobi Hiruzen doubted whether Shimura Danzo still had the courage to continue research on taboos.
"Things have reached this point, we can't just sit idly by." The Sandaime raised his hand and threw a warrant to Kakashi Hatake: "I will authorize you to have the authority to enter and exit the biological laboratory in the village, and you will be responsible for monitoring the dark secrets.
check."
Find out who is secretly stealing the first-generation target cells...
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't know whether he expected Danzo not to participate, or whether he expected him to leave a pigtail for him to catch... After all, after the Grass Country incident, the roots were a bit too active.
Kakashi Hatake took the order, glanced helplessly at his teammates and said: "It seems that our team is destined to not be able to spend a good New Year this year!"
"As long as it doesn't delay Chu Yi's visit to the shrine, that's fine."
Uchiha Itachi smiled shyly. He promised Sasuke to take him to participate in the New Year's Ceremony this year. Last year, Sasuke was too young, and this year is the first time for the little cub to participate in group activities.
The crow's red eyes rolled: "..."
This New Year really cannot be too peaceful...
Well, the main reason is that we can’t just sit back and watch Orochimaru become the new Kage!
Orochimaru is not a threat to his own cubs, he is basically a Tenke...but Danzo Shimura cannot stay for a long time. His status is quite special and he can easily cause trouble.
If he hadn't been unable to find a chance to communicate with Danzo in private, Kitahara would have used the Tailed Beast Jade to help him bathe! Didn't Shimura Danzo covet the cubs' Mangekyō Sharingan and didn't have the idea of intercepting and killing them in private?
Since the old guy is so cautious, he has to think of a way to make Shimura Danzo take the blame again... and at the same time, make this New Year a little more lively to prevent the little brat from pestering his brother every day.
Even if Danzo is not involved in this matter, it can get Danzo involved. And based on its understanding of the man behind Konoha, it is impossible for him not to be involved.
Whenever something dirty happens, you can definitely find Danzo's shadow.
Uchiha Itachi didn't know that the crow rolled his eyes and had a bad idea.
After leaving the Hokage Tower, the three of them first went to where Naruto lived.
Kakashi knew the news about Namikaze Minato's posthumous son, so he would definitely not hide it from Jiraiya. It happened that the old man was back and was recovering from his injuries, so he left the little guy in his care during this period.
I hope that the souls in heaven that Jiraiya has in mind for his disciple and his wife will not infect Naruto with any weird attributes...
However, the first words Jiraiya said when he saw Uzumaki Naruto made the accompanying Kakashi and Uchiha Itachi sweat: "Ha, Naruto actually looks so cute? There must be many little girls who take him out.
Okay...hehehehe..."
"Jiraiya-sama...he is still a child."
"Jiraiya-sensei...he is still a child."
The Kuroyukiko team duo spoke almost in unison, and at the same time stretched out their hands to block Jiraiya's claws. Doubts spread in their minds... Is it really reliable to leave it to Jiraiya to raise a child?
"Don't worry, I will take good care of him." Jiraiya waved his hand, leaned over and picked up the little guy and said, "I will definitely teach him to become a strong ninja!"
The moment Jiraiya picked up Naruto, he checked whether the seal on Uzumaki Naruto was firm and confirmed that no nine-tails chakra was leaked, then nodded with satisfaction and said: "I didn't expect that the old man's sealing technique is also a bit
Level!"
"..."
Uchiha Itachi and Kakashi looked a little weird. Isn't the Third Hokage your teacher? Is it really okay to say that you are your teacher?
"He's just too thin... take him to have barbecue tonight!" Jiraiya put down the child and rummaged around in his wallet.
"Jiraiya-sensei, his body is still too immature to eat barbecue!" Uchiha Itachi said weakly. In any case, the staple food for children of this age should be liquid food, right?
Kakashi Hatake shook his head and said, "I have already bought the ingredients for this week, as well as Naruto's milk, and put them in the refrigerator."
He often visits Naruto here and helps him buy daily necessities. The ANBU who are responsible for taking care of the children are a little careless.
"Oh, you are so considerate!" The old man patted his forehead, glanced at the room, and said softly: "The room is a bit dirty... You can go back and rest! Leave this place to me!"
"Then let's help too!" This is Kakashi.
"Okay, let's go first." This is Itachi Uchiha.
Kakashi Hatake looked at the embarrassed little boy and couldn't help but chuckle: "Itachi's parents should be waiting for you to come home too! The Uchiha clan is far away from the village, so go back quickly!"
He is the only one in Kakashi's home, and the place where he usually spends the most time is the commemorative monument. It doesn't matter if he goes home sooner or later.
For ninjas like Itachi whose parents are still alive, he hopes that Itachi can spend more time with his parents. After the New Year, ANBU will have more and more missions, and the time spent with his family will only become less and less.
On the road, the commercial streets were very lively with people coming and going, and the New Year atmosphere in Konoha became stronger every year.
After the Sandaime came back to power, he took over a village that was in decline. However, after two years, except for the occasional rebellion, the whole village seemed to have regained its vitality.
Kitahara looked at a group of ninjas passing by with laughter, and turned to look at the Hokage Rock in the distance where the heads of past Hokages were hung. The light of the will of fire in the ninja world was really dazzling!
A little boy suddenly bumped into Uchiha Itachi, and the toy he was holding hit the ground and broke into pieces.
The little thing looked at the toys on the ground and was stunned. He kept his mouth tight and did not cry. He murmured in a low voice: "The toys I bought for my sister..."
"Neji, you should apologize to others first."
The young man walked up and touched the little guy's head. He lowered his head and saw the person his kid bumped into. He was a little surprised for a moment: "I'm so sorry..."
"you are?"
Uchiha Itachi frowned and thought. The other person was wearing regular clothes and looked quite grand. His eyes belonged to another wealthy family in Konoha, the Hyuga family's unique white-eyed blood successor.
Hinata is rarely mentioned in Uchiha clan meetings. When someone does mention it, they usually say that the Hyuga clan is a group of cowards and it is unworthy to be placed alongside them.
"I'm Hinata Hizashi. I'm not as famous as my brother. Maybe you haven't heard of me?"
The young man smiled, and was not hostile or despising Uchiha Itachi's age. No one in Konoha dared to despise the current top master of Uchiha, even though he was only seven years old.
Beiyuan shouted softly: "Gah!"
Uchiha Itachi tilted his head, receiving the crow's message, and then replied: "I just haven't seen it, but I have heard of the Byakugan clan's vision."
"I hope Neji's actions have not caused you any displeasure. Let me apologize on his behalf." Hinata Hizashi clasped his hands and bent down, then lowered his body and picked up his still dazed son.
Uchiha Itachi has not experienced equal communication in the adult world, and he is starting with someone of such a high rank as Hinata Hizashi. He was a little flustered for a moment and said: "It's okay. It's understandable that the kid is a little excited. Can I ask, where is his toy?"
