It didn't take long for the negotiation to be finalized, at the cost of war reparations of 2 billion taels per country for large countries and 500 million taels for small countries in exchange for ninjas from various countries trapped on the border.

Such a large sum of money is worth more than 2 years of financial income in Konoha, and the price is just for the top ninjas to go out for a walk, and the most serious thing is that a few skirmishes broke out, and the big war failed to fight.

Of course, this is great news for Konoha, because of the dispatch of Kawanobi, there is no need to continue to worry about the materials in the past few years.

But other developments are different, and such a large amount of money is recorded in the account, which just solves the urgent needs of the village.

The war came and went like child's play, and when everything was settled, the village once again entered a period of slow development.

Jieya also took advantage of the opportunity of the war Yang Wei to completely monopolize all the weapons trade in the ninja world, the small countries are very obedient, and the big countries don't want to fight with Konoha again.

But there is no one that is sold on the market that does not need to be supplied through the alliance of 22 countries.

Of course, small countries are fine, and big countries will certainly not give in, except for vigorously developing arsenals for self-supply.

In other trades, the three countries soon joined hands with many small countries to form a trade alliance in order to compete with the twenty-two countries on the opposite side.

During this period, the land of the land was also preparing to secretly transfer its accumulated weapons to other countries through material exchange.

But after several waves of assassination and looting, they soon stopped doing so.

Without a clear understanding of how the Konoha Armed Forces were targeting them, no one wanted to blatantly clash with Konoha in the open.

For a time, Konoha was as powerful as the Japanese, and no country, big or small, dared to try its edge.

As a result of the excessive momentum, all countries began to be wary of Konoha, and the other countries began to form more or less secret alliances except for the Twenty-Two Nations Alliance to prevent invasion from the south.

Time flies, and more than a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and on this day, Obito suddenly came to the Hokage building in a hurry.

"Jie、I've found a trace of Orochimaru."

Jie eyes lit up: "How did you find it?" Are you sure it's him? ”

"I'm very sure that he was fished out by using a kind of equipment for human experiments, although that guy has changed his appearance, but that temperament and style of acting are definitely not wrong, it must be him."

"Where's the tracker? Where? ”

"Land of the Wind, Boundless Desert!"

"Very well, let's let Kurokawa go with Kakashi, you can mobilize some people from the shadows for Kakashi."

Obito hesitated: "Is it just the two of them?" Wouldn't that be less secure? ”

Thinking of Orochimaru's elusive methods, Jie touched his chin and nodded: "Yes, then notify Mizuki to go with him, three people plus hundreds of elites in the dark department, it should be more than enough to capture one Orochimaru." ”

"I see."

Not long after taking the soil away, Takehara hurriedly walked in again: "Hokage-sama, Sand Shinobi proposed that the Five Ninja Village jointly hold a middle ninja assessment to promote harmony and strengthen friendship among countries. ”

Jie smiled disdainfully: "Sand Shinobi!" It seems that the elitist route has given those guys a taste of sweetness, and now they want to show their strength to prevent the next war from starting with them. ”

"Excuse me, tell them that we won't participate in Konoha because of our busy affairs."

"I see."

"How is the ninja school doing, and are there any outstanding geniuses?"

"No, the reservists of all departments have graduated early, and the new generation of students has only been enrolled for a short time, so there will be no talent for the time being."

"By the way, speaking of which, I recently noticed that your clan, Uchiha Itachi, seems to be a little abnormal."

"Oh! Have you investigated him? What's going on? ”

"It's not an investigation, it's just that the kid's strength is very good, both in character and in combat, far beyond the standards of the middle ninja, but after so long, he has never applied for the middle ninja assessment, and even the assessment invitation we arranged to go has all declined."

"I thought it was a little strange, so I had someone follow him a few times, and found that he often seemed to hang out late at night with some very mysterious guys."

Jie frowned and waved his hand to interrupt him: "Wait....... Some mysterious guys? Is there anyone else who can do things right under our noses? ”

Takehara shook his head: "No, I'm sure these people aren't outsiders, and they don't look like they're going to make trouble, I suspect it's a special gathering initiated by some people in the village, just like some kind of sect." ”

Jie wondered: "All ninjas?" ”

"Well, the strength is not weak, and the anti-reconnaissance means are quite clever."

"When did it start?"

"Hmm......... It must have been not long after the death of Uchiha Shisui, during that time, his whole person suddenly became in a trance and silent, and he should have finally come into contact with these. "Ouou e-book

Suke's face was strange: "Follow Uchiha Itachi!" Who did this? ”

"A teacher at the ninja school, what's wrong, is there anything wrong?"

Jie nodded: "It's a bit strange, you don't have to worry about Uchiha Itachi for now, give me this person's information." ”

"I see."

The Uchiha clan

Itachi sat on the ground expressionlessly, without saying a word, Fuyue in front of him had a straight face, looking at him indifferently, with a faint trace of anger in his expression.

"Itachi, what have you been up to lately?"

"Nothing, perform some simple tasks, walk around the village."

"With your ability, you could have been promoted to Zhongnin, right? Why don't you choose the assessment for a long time, don't you want to join the police department? ”

"That's right, the police department is too limited, I want to be a .........."

"To be a traitor who collaborates with the enemy and betrays his country?" Fu Yue interrupted him in a cold tone.

Itachi's expression changed slightly: "What do you mean by that?" I have never done anything to harm the village. ”

Fu Yue's face sank: "Is this really the case?" ”

"Of course, you're worrying too much, are you angry because I'm not willing to serve the family?"

"I hope so, you have always been a very decisive child, and I am very relieved of you, but there are everyone in this world, and I don't want you to be taken advantage of because of some false kindness."

Itachi wondered: "Benevolence is also false?" ”

"Of course there are, I don't know how many people are those who do one thing on the surface and one thing behind the scenes, and the people you come into contact with are not this kind of people."

"Sister Aoi! So what kind of person do you think Uchiha is, isn't he a hypocrite? ”

Fu Yue's expression was solemn: "Who told you this?" Stop the water! ”

Itachi pursed his lips and didn't answer.

Seeing this, Fu Yue's voice was cold: "It seems that it is because I am too busy, so that you have gone astray due to lack of teaching!" Forget it, no matter who said it........ Forget about it, I know you have a complaint about Suke, but Hokage-sama is not what you think, the matter of stopping the water is completely self-inflicted, and Hokage-sama is willing to spare his life, which is already very merciful. ”

Hearing this, Itachi's face sank: "Sacrifice for the sake of the village and faith, and the knife bearer must be crowned with mercy?" ”

Fu Yue was furious in his heart: "Shut up! What is Faith? Faith is betrayal of the family? Assassination of Konoha high-tops? ”

"What is the deity of a cowardly fellow who does not even have the courage to face the facts to be called sacrificed? Don't forget how the higher-ups used to target us, and how the villagers viewed us. ”

Itachi smiled coldly: "In the final analysis, it's not for profit, a hero who sacrifices his life for peace is not even worthy of the word sacrifice, you people are really ridiculous." ”

A crisp slap sounded, and the furious Fuyue slapped Itachi to the ground.

Hearing the movement, Meiting hurriedly rushed out of the kitchen: "You ........, what's going on?" Itachi doesn't matter if you want to. ”

Itachi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, I won't eat dinner today, Mom, you don't have to prepare it for me." ”

When the words fell, Itachi pushed Meiting's arm away and walked out of the yard without saying a word.

Meiting looked at Itachi's back worriedly, turned her head and asked, "You rarely get angry, what's going on?" Itachi he .......... ”

Fugaku looked apologetic: "I'm sorry, I was too reckless. ”

Meiting shook her head helplessly: "You shouldn't say this kind of thing to me, what the hell is going on?" Itachi, he rarely makes mistakes. ”

"It's about Jie, you also understand the relationship between Shisui and Itachi, I'm worried that Itachi will do something out of the ordinary and bring disaster to himself."

Meiting said worriedly: "Then what should I do?" The Hokage wasn't a good guy to deal with, and once Itachi made ......... ”

Fu Yue waved his hand: "I'll find a way to solve it, don't wait for me to eat at night, I'll go out for a while." ”

After that, Fuyue also left the house in a hurry.

Meiting looked around a little helplessly, flustered for a while.

Crunch, the bedroom was slowly pushed open, and Sasuke came to Meiting's side with some hesitation: "Brother, he ........" ”

"Itachi has encountered some troubles, but it will pass soon, and it won't be long before Sasuke will go to school, how are you preparing? Are you confident of passing the test? ”
