"Itachi, thank you for your hard work. The Uchiha clan has no structure and regards you as an enemy. The door of the Sarutobi clan behind me will always be open for you."
"Tomorrow I will find a way to get Setsuna Uchiha to revoke the arrest order against you. Just feel aggrieved today and go to my house to rest."
Uchiha Itachi was very moved.
The family regarded him as an enemy, but Hiruzen Sarutobi always cared about him like a kind grandfather.
Ever since he entered ANBU, Hiruzen Sarutobi had taken great care of him.
But his father and family only knew how to force him to do things he hated.
At first, he was very wary of Hiruzen Sarutobi's concern, but as time passed, Uchiha Itachi discovered that Hiruzen Sarutobi was not acting.
That kind of kindness from the elders to the younger ones can never be faked!
Who can act for several years at a time?
Gradually, under the "words and deeds" of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Uchiha Itachi gained a new understanding of the will of fire.
Uchiha was once one of the important roots of the big tree Konoha, providing a lot of nutrients for the growth of Konoha.
But the Uchiha clan doesn't know how to be satisfied, nor do they know how to be grateful.
They will only be greedy and demanding endlessly. The existence of the family has endangered the health of this big tree!
The family has become a group of harmful and useless maggots.
Itachi knew very well that he cooperated with Konoha to eradicate his family, and in the eyes of outsiders, he was a heinous scumbag.
but!
In this world, there are always corners where light cannot shine.
If you are afraid of the dark, you choose to retreat; if you are afraid of verbal slander, you choose to be a coward; if you are concerned about the so-called blood relationship, you choose to turn a blind eye.
Then, one day, the Konoha he loves will collapse due to his weakness and retreat.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, no, the Sandaime Hokage has said more than once:
He is the true successor of the Will of Fire, and one of the few awakened people in the village who can look at problems with Hokage thinking!
He will turn into a real fire, no longer afraid of verbal slander, no longer caring about blood ties, and will dispel the darkness in Konoha's corners so that she can continue to thrive.
For this reason, even if he is shattered to pieces, even if he is infamous, even if he is not understood and recognized by everyone, he will never regret it.
After awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan, through the observation of these eyes, he became more and more certain that his thoughts were absolutely correct without a doubt!
'This is me, Uchiha Itachi's capacity, my consciousness!'
Uchiha Itachi, who fell into a strange cycle of self-affirmation and self-impression, completed a strange logical closed loop, and left under the leadership of an ANBU who was from the Sarutobi clan.
After Uchiha Itachi left, the kindness on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face turned into cold indifference.
After going to bed, Koharu sat on a chair, crossed his skinny hands, and said in a cold voice: "Hiruzhan, all our plans and actions seem to have been seen through by the Uchiha clan in advance."
"I feel the same way, who do you think you are?"
Mito Kadoyan pushed the frame and said without hesitation: "Uchiha Qianya!"
"All the changes happened after this young man stepped up."
"Hiruzen, I don't think we can continue to follow the original plan."
Shui Menyan calmly analyzed: "This young Uchiha is not like a normal Uchiha at all. I have reason to believe that our plan has been completely seen through by him!"
"And... everything he is doing now is to delay time!"
"Although I don't know what he is trying to do by delaying time, one thing is for sure, we cannot continue to follow the original plan."
Minato En and Kasumi Koharu were not from the ninja clan, but they were hired as advisor elders by Hiruzen Sarutobi.
On the one hand, he had no one under his command at that time and was under control everywhere. These two former colleagues were very good tools; on the other hand, it was because their brains were easy to use and their strategies were outstanding.
Especially Mito Monobu, even his teacher must treat his suggestions with caution.
Sarutobi Hiruzen closed his eyes and tapped his thin fingers lightly on the solid wood table. The quiet office was suddenly filled with only the rhythmic sound of winter.
Mito Kado and Koharu, who had gone to bed, were sitting on chairs, saying nothing, closing their eyes and meditating.
After a long time, Sarutobi Hiruzen opened his eyes: "Do it now, the price is too heavy."
"If we can't take action today, then let the Uchiha clan leave."
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned, and his brain was rapidly thinking about Mito Kaden's suggestion.
He hesitated and said: "You mean, split the Uchiha clan like you did to Uchiha Madara?"
"That's right, the aggressive wild wolves have left our homeland, and they don't have much to fear when they attack outside. What's left behind at this time is a group of docile sheep."
"Facing the hunter's butcher knife again, the sheep can only wait for death in the sheepfold."
This strategy of Mito Monobu can be said to be a drain on the bottom of the cauldron.
It can directly destroy the situation that Qianye worked so hard to create.
People all yearn for peace.
The Uchiha clan is indeed not afraid of death, but when given the choice, who is willing to die in vain?
"At the same time, I suggest that 'Uchiha Shisui's remains' be released after all the radical factions within Uchiha have left."
Sarutobi Hiruzen made a quick decision and said: "I will do as you say!"
The next day.
Qianye's shadow clone warned: "Elder Setsuna, if it is not revealed that someone has found Zhisui's body, we will also hold back."
"Don't worry, I'm not Lao Hutu."
In the ninja world, corpses can talk.
If Konoha doesn't explode, and they explode first, wouldn't they be shooting themselves in the foot?
"The preparations for the troops going ahead are not going well, and I don't know if they can continue going forward."
Qianye's shadow clone said with relief: "The main body is very resourceful. I think he will always come up with a solution after understanding the details."
"makes sense."
...
After reading all the information from beginning to end, Qianye pondered for a long time and made a decision:
"Uncle Kagura, Brother Yashiro, please take me and sneak into the capital, take control of this izakaya, and torture to find out who is responsible for hosting Kazuma's younger brother Kazuya."
"Brother Rice Fire, Brother Iron Fire, you lead your respective manpower and stand by in the capital."
"learn."
No one had any objections to Qianye's orders.
The decisions he made over the past few days have given Qianye enough prestige.
With the issuance of Qianye's order, the group no longer felt confused and uneasy as before, and everyone was like a clockwork machine running at full speed.
Sneaking into the capital and controlling the izakaya, everything went smoothly.
After being tortured by Uchiha Huokang, Qianye got the information he wanted.
