Chapter 712: Departure (6)
When Hinata Ichiro finished speaking, Sasuke Uchiha and Mikoto Uchiha were already pale.
(Both Sasuke Uchiha and Mikoto Uchiha know the consequences of the Konoha higher-ups' growing suspicion of the Uchiha clan.) οΌ
"Ichiro, Tsunade knows what you're talking about, right?" asked Mikoto Uchiha.
"What I just said, Tsunade-sensei knows. Hinata Ichiro replied.
"I hope you can arrange for me and Sasuke to see the evidence as soon as possible. Uchiha Mikoto said.
"I try. Hinata Ichiro said, "It's just, I hope you and Sasuke don't worry!"
"Because the timing of the release of relevant evidence has not yet been determined. β
"Not yet confirmed!?" asked Mikoto Uchiha, "In other words, you don't know when the relevant evidence will be released to the public?"
"That's right!" Hinata Ichiro replied.
"Hinata-sama, how could you not know!" Uchiha Sasuke questioned.
"There's still some things to deal with!" Hinata explained.
"What else?" asked Sasuke Uchiha.
"Sasuke, I can only say one thing to you and Aunt Mai Trillion in the matter that I haven't dealt with yet!" Hinata Ichiro said.
"Please!" said Uchiha Mikoto.
"Tsunade-sensei is planning Itachi to return to Konoha!" Hinata Ichiro said.
Hearing this, Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Mikoto reacted differently - Uchiha Sasuke's face was complicated, and Uchiha Mikoto looked happy.
"What you said is true?" asked Mikoto Uchiha with a look of joy on her face, "Is Tsunade-sama really plotting Itachi to return to Konoha?"
"Of course it's true!" Hinata Ichiro replied, "If it goes well, you and Sasuke will soon be able to meet Itachi." β
"Great!" Uchiha Mikoto said to Uchiha Sasuke, "Sasuke, our family is about to be reunited. β
"Father is not here, how can we be considered a family reunion!" Uchiha Sasuke whispered.
Uchiha Sasuke's words were like a basin of cold water, immediately extinguishing Uchiha Mikoto's enthusiasm.
"After the tragedy of the Uchiha clan, I'm already satisfied!" said Mikoto Uchiha.
"I'm not satisfied!" Sasuke Uchiha said, "I hope my father will come back to life." β
Seeing that Uchiha Sasuke wants Uchiha Fugaku to be resurrected, Uchiha Mikoto doesn't know how to face Uchiha Sasuke - Uchiha Mikoto knows that it is impossible for the Fire Country to allow Uchiha Fugaku to be resurrected.
Hinata Ichiro first glanced at Mikoto Uchiha, and then said to Sasuke Uchiha: "Sasuke, Uncle Fugaku's Eternal Sleep Konoha Cemetery is the best choice. β
"I don't think so!" Sasuke Uchiha said.
"Why let Uncle Fuyue die again!" Hinata Ichiro said.
"What do you mean?" asked Sasuke Uchiha.
"Uncle Fugaku is the leader of the Uchiha rebellion!" Hinata Ichiro replied, "Therefore, even if Uncle Fugaku comes back from the dead, he will not escape death!"
"Hinata-sama, you keep saying that the Uchiha clan is rebelling!" Uchiha Sasuke asked, "Excuse me, when did the Uchiha clan start a rebellion?"
"The Uchiha rebellion is an attempted crime!" Hinata Ichiro replied.
"Judging from the reality of the situation, the Uchiha clan who attempted to commit the crime did not cause substantial harm to Konoha!" Uchiha Sasuke asked, "Given that the Uchiha clan did not cause substantial harm to Konoha, Hinata-sama, should my father be punished lightly or mitigated?"
"In the case of particularly heinous crimes, the punishment received by the attempted offender shall be the same as that received by the completed offender. Hinata Ichiro replied, "Sasuke, the rebellion of the Uchiha clan is a particularly heinous crime. β
Therefore, Uncle Fu is not eligible for a lighter or mitigated punishment. β
"If my father can be punished lightly or commuted, I am willing to give up the responsibility of pursuing the relevant Konoha high-level officials!" Uchiha Sasuke said, "Hinya-sama, in the tragedy of the Uchiha clan, the relevant Konoha high-level also bears unshirkable responsibility. β
Hearing this, Hinata Ichiro frowned - Hinata Ichiro didn't expect Uchiha Sasuke to make such a choice.
Immediately, Hinata Ichiro, who thought of something, loosened his brows.
"Let's not talk about whether the higher-ups will agree to your point of view, just talk about the state of Uncle Fugaku!" Hinata Ichiro asked, "Sasuke, who will help you resurrect the dead Uncle Fugaku?"
As soon as Hinata Ichiro finished asking, Sasuke Uchiha stood up.
Immediately after, Sasuke Uchiha knelt in front of Ichiro Hinata.
"Hinata-sama, please resurrect my father!" Sasuke Uchiha pleaded.
"Get up!" Hinata Ichiro said.
Sasuke Uchiha didn't get up.
Seeing this, the power in Hinata Ichiro's body turned.
As the power in Hinata's body worked, Sasuke Uchiha slowly stood up.
When Uchiha Sasuke stood up, Hinata Ichiro said, "Sasuke, it's not that I don't help you resurrect Uncle Fugaku, but I don't have the ability to resurrect Uncle Fugaku." β
With such a living example as Mikoto Uchiha in front of him, how could Sasuke Uchiha believe that Ichiro Hinata was not capable of resurrecting Uchiha Fugaku.
"Hinata-sama, please resurrect my father. Sasuke Uchiha pleaded again.
Sasuke Uchiha's request again lets Ichiro Hinata know that Sasuke Uchiha didn't believe his words.
"I didn't lie to you!" Hinata Ichiro said, "I really can't resurrect Uncle Fugaku now." β
"Hinata-sama, if you are willing to resurrect my father, I will be a cow and a horse!" said Sasuke Uchiha.
Seeing that Uchiha Sasuke still refused to believe that he was not capable of resurrecting Uchiha Fugaku, Hinata Ichiro thought for a while and explained: "Sasuke, there is a premise for my resurrection method......"
After Hinata's explanation, Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Mikoto finally understood why Hinata Ichiro said that he was not capable of resurrecting Uchiha Fugaku.
"Is what you said true?" asked Sasuke Uchiha.
"In order to resurrect Aunt Mai Trin, I performed a secret technique on Aunt Mai Gurin before she committed suicide!" Hinata Ichiro replied, "Because of the effect of my secret technique, Aunt Mai Trin's soul has gained the ability to stay in this world!"
"Sasuke, if you don't believe me, you can ask Aunt Mikoto. β
Sasuke Uchiha turned his head to look at Mikoto Uchiha.
"That's true!" said Uchiha Mikoto to Uchiha Sasuke.
Receiving Mikoto Uchiha's reply, Sasuke Uchiha looked at Ichiro Hinata again.
"I heard that Tsunade-sama also has a means of resurrecting the dead!" Uchiha Sasuke asked, "Hinata-sama, can Tsunade-sama resurrect my father?"
"Tsunade-sensei's means of resurrection comes from me!" Hinata Ichiro replied, "The dead that I can't resurrect, Tsunade-sensei can't resurrect either." β
Speaking of this, Hinata Ichiro asked, "Sasuke, have you heard the news of Samui's death?"
"I've heard of it!" replied Sasuke Uchiha.
"Because Samui's soul is in the Pure Land of Bliss, I cannot resurrect Samui. Hinata Ichiro said.
Hinata Ichiro mentions his intention to not be able to resurrect Samui, and Sasuke Uchiha understands.
"Is there really nothing you can do?" asked Sasuke Uchiha unrelentingly.
"At least for now, there's nothing I can do!" Hinata Ichiro replied, "Sasuke, it's too difficult to summon the souls of the dead from the Pure Land of Bliss. β
Sasuke Uchiha's expression darkened.
Seeing Sasuke Uchiha's gloomy expression, Uchiha Mikoto felt a pain in her heart.
"Sasuke, there are some things that you can't force for!" Mikoto Uchiha comforted.
Sasuke Uchiha looked at Mikoto Uchiha and didn't say anything.

Zhigo Tower.
Mito Menitis Office.
Hinata Ichiro looked at Mito Menyan and said, "Vice Chairman Mito, I want Mitsuo." β
"What mission do you want Takagi to do?" Mito asked.
(Takagi - The Three-Tailed Pillar Force of the Land of Fire.) οΌ
"You misunderstood me!" Hinata replied, "I didn't want Takagi on a missionβI wanted Takagi's Miao." β
"Why do you want Miao?" Mito asked.
Seeing that Mito Menyan asked the reason, Hinata Ichiro immediately informed Mito Menyan of the reason why he wanted Mitsuo.
"Do you want to trade the three tails for the Uchiha Itachi and return to Konoha safely?" Mito Menyan asked.
"Yes!" Hinata Ichiro replied, "Itachi has made a huge contribution to the Fire Country, and we should do something for Itachi." β
(Not to mention Mito Menyan, even Shimura Danzo, who dislikes the Uchiha clan, can't deny Uchiha Itachi's contribution to the Land of Fire.) οΌ
"Representative Hinata, I recognize Uchiha Itachi's contribution to the Land of Fire!" Mito Menyan refused, "However, I don't approve of your proposal to exchange the Three Tails for Uchiha Itachi to return to Konoha safely." β
"In my opinion, we don't need to trade the three tails for the Uchiha Itachi to return to Konoha safely. β
Hinata Ichiro had long expected that Mito Menyan would refuse.
"Itachi is a hero of the Fire Nation!" Hinata Ichiro said, "The national hero deserves to give up a part of our national interests. β
"You're wrong!" Mito said, "I mean we're more than capable of taking Uchiha Itachi back to Konoha safely. β
Mito Menyan's words made Hinata Ichiro stunned.
"Pick up Itachi and return to Konoha safely!?" Hinata Ichiro, who came back to his senses, asked, "You mean we are against the 'Akatsuki' organization?"
Hinata Ichiro's reaction was beyond Mito's expectations.
"Confrontation!?" Mito Menyan asked, "We are a country, and the 'Akatsuki' organization is just a mercenary organization, speaking of confrontation, do you think too highly of the 'Akatsuki' organization?"
(With the exception of a limited number of people, no one in the Fire Nation is aware of the true strength of the Akatsuki organization.) οΌ
At this moment, Hinata Ichiro had a strange expression.
Mito Menyan, who noticed Hinata Ichiro's strange face, asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Vice Chairman Mito, I'm sighing at the size of your heart!" Hinata Ichiro replied.
"What do you mean?" Mito asked.
"The strength of the 'Xiao' organization should not be underestimated. Hinata Ichiro replied.
"No matter how powerful a mercenary organization is, it's just a mercenary organization!" Mito said.
"The problem is, the official members of the 'Akatsuki' organization have at least quasi-shadow-level strength!" Hinata Ichiro said.
Knowing the strength of the official members of the 'Akatsuki' organization, Mito Menyan frowned.
"What you said is true?" Mito Menyan asked, "Do the official members of the 'Akatsuki' organization really have quasi-shadow-level strength?"
"Of course it's true!" Hinata Ichiro replied.
"How many are the official members of the Akatsuki organization?" asked Mito Menyan.
"At present, there are ten official members of the 'Akatsuki' organization!" replied Hinata Ichiro.
"Ten quasi-shadow-level powerhouses!" Mito Menyan said with a look of surprise, "The 'Xiao' organization actually has such a powerful strength. β
(Before Hinata answered, Mito thought that the Akatsuki organization had at most two or three full members.) οΌ
"It's not ten quasi-shadow-level powerhouses!" Hinata Ichiro corrected, "Among the official members of the 'Akatsuki' organization, there are both quasi-shadow-level powerhouses and shadow-level powerhouses. β
"Moreover, the number of shadow-level powerhouses is more than the number of quasi-shadow-level powerhouses. β
Mito Menyan didn't believe Hinata Ichiro's corrective words.
(The fact that there are more shadow-level powerhouses than the number of quasi-shadow-level powerhouses means that the 'Xiao' organization has at least six shadow-level powerhouses - Mito Menyan does not believe that a mercenary organization can have at least six shadow-level powerhouses.) οΌ
"Representative Hyuga, don't exaggerate. "Mito Gate Yan Road.
"I'm not exaggerating!" Hinata Ichiro said, "When the leader of the 'Akatsuki' organization recruited official members, he deliberately chose the S-level rebel ninja of each ninja village. β
"Vice Chairman Mito, you know the strength of the S-class traitorous ninja. β
Speaking of this, Hinata Ichiro paused and continued: "Vice Chairman Mito, Orochimaru has also joined the 'Akatsuki' organization. β
"In the 'Xiao' organization, Orochimaru's strength is also at the midstream level. β
Hinata's behavior of using Orochimaru as an example gave Mito Menyan an intuitive impression of the strength of the 'Akatsuki' organization.
"Is the 'Akatsuki' organization really that powerful?" Mito Menyan asked.
"The 'Akatsuki' organization is really powerful!" Hinata Ichiro replied, "Aside from us, the top level of the other ninja villages, including the Iwakuin Ninja Village, the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village, and the Fog Hidden Ninja Village, are not as powerful as the 'Akatsuki' organization. β
By observing Hinata Ichiro's expression, Mito Menyan knew that it was unlikely that Hinata Ichiro was lying.
"This is really a shallow water dragon!" Mito Menyan said, "I didn't expect such a powerful mercenary organization to appear in the underground world. β
"So, if it is not necessary, we should not oppose the 'Akatsuki' organization!" Hinata Ichiro said, "After all, the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village and the Iwahide Ninja Village have joined forces against us!"
"If you hadn't insisted on keeping Karui, how would the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village and the Iwain Ninja Village be in a group against us!" Mito Menyan said angrily.
"Even if I don't leave Karui behind, the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village will guard against us!" Hinata Ichiro argued.
"Which one is more detrimental to us?" Mito asked.
Hinata Ichiro smiled embarrassedly.
Seeing that Hinata Ichiro was embarrassed, Mito Menyan stopped pestering - there was Tsunade who left Karui for Hinata Ichiro's endorsement, and Mito Menyan was inconvenient to say.
Mito Menyan changed his words and asked, "On the premise that we don't oppose the 'Akatsuki' organization, is there any other way than to exchange the three tails for the Uchiha Itachi to return to Konoha safely?"
"I can't think of any other way. Hinata Ichiro replied.
"Actually, I would like Uchiha Itachi to stay in the Akatsuki organization. Mito Menyan thought for a moment and said, "With Uchiha Itachi in the 'Akatsuki' organization, we won't be ignorant of the 'Akatsuki' organization. β
