Hokage's office.

Naruto Uzumaki's expression was indescribably strange, he held a middle ninja application in his hand, looked at the young man in front of him, and said softly: "Shikamaru, congratulations, your middle ninja application for promotion has passed..."

"Ahh

Nara Shikamaru nodded, his face not showing any energy: "Yes." ”

The fifth generation Hokage knocked on the table and made an adult appearance: "Cheer up, Shikamaru!" You're the first of us to be promoted to the middle of the year! ”

Nara Shikamaru couldn't help but glance at him: "......"

Mental hammer, you have become a Hokage at the same time!

However, Asma, the ape flying behind Nara Shikamaru, pressed the heads of his subordinates and said with a smile: "Hokage-sama, I will try to supervise him!" ”

After the tenth class left, a short shadow walked in, took off the mask on his face, and glanced at the empty office, "Is it so boring to be the Hokage?" ”

It was Sasuke Uchiha.

"No way."

Naruto Uzumaki threw out a ninja certificate from the drawer and said softly, "The promotion of the middle ninja and the special upper ninja are all ready for you..."

"So fast?"

"There is a shortage of people in the village."

Naruto Uzumaki shook his head and explained in a deep voice: "The Sand Hidden Village needs to send ninjas to station, and it also needs to send people to investigate the information of Orochimaru, and Iwakuin Village also needs to send people to investigate, and the current manpower in the village is a little insufficient..."

"It's..."

Sasuke sighed and put his mask back on, "What is the mission that the Goyome Hokage assigned me?" ”

"Hunt down Orochimaru, is there a problem?"

Naruto Uzumaki leaned over the table with his arms and continued in a low voice, "By the way, you can investigate the information of Tanokuni, and if nothing else, I want the village to become the protector of Tanokuni." ”

Since he officially succeeded the fifth Hokage, more than a month has now passed, and Konoha is gradually on the right track.

Because he was too young, Tsunade took on the position of Hokage's assistant, helping him with most of the chores in the village.

It was because of this that Naruto was able to concentrate on laying out his own plans.

After careful investigation, Naruto decided to let Sasuke help investigate Tanokuni, and as for the pursuit of Orochimaru, it was only incidental.

Sasuke now has Sangotama, and under Kakashi's guidance, he has completed his Chidoriga Thunder Escape Ninjutsu, and is still working hard to learn the Flying Thunder God Jutsu...

For this reason, he specially went to visit Senjuma under the Hokage.

This is for revenge, ignoring their Uchiha teachings!

The second Hokage learned that this little guy was a teammate of the fifth Hokage Naruto Uzumaki, and he was targeting the renegade Uchiha Itachi, but he didn't hide anything from him, and told Sasuke the information about his development and learning of the Flying Thunder God technique.

"One more thing."

The young Hokage's words paused for a moment, and he slowly lowered his head and didn't look at his friend: "According to the information I got here, Uchiha Itachi is also in Tanokuni. ”

The spy Uchiha Itachi in the shadows of Konoha is also chasing Orochimaru, and he can just take this opportunity to let the Uchiha brothers settle the matter between them.

Actually, it should be Uchiha Itachi unilaterally resolved...

After all, the current Sasuke doesn't look like Itachi's opponent no matter how you look at it, and the gap between the brothers is a bit big.

"Just right, you can get rid of him."

Of course, Sasuke didn't think so, he just clenched the ninja knife in his hand, and a grim smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Every time he gets stronger, he becomes extremely confident, especially since he finally found a way to crack Tsukiyomi by learning illusions, thinking that he can crack Uchiha Itachi's kaleidoscope pupil technique.

Naruto Uzumaki couldn't sit idly by and watch all of this.

The young Hokage slowly closed his palms, looked at Sasuke and continued, "After you leave Konoha, I will take the opportunity to visit the Daimyo of Tanokuni, and by the way, completely destroy the Otokuin Village established by Orochimaru. ”

"Okay."

Sasuke Uchiha pondered for a moment and nodded.

Since he was the only one left in the vast Uchiha clan, he was the only one who walked alone, and now his friends helped him find information about Itachi.

Whatever Naruto wanted to do, Sasuke decided to help him.

When he arrives in Tanokuni, he can collect information on Tanokuni while tracking down Uchiha Itachi and Orochimaru.

Don't delay.

Whoever you meet, kill it and you're done.

Naruto Uzumaki nodded and said in a low voice, "Sasuke, then go and prepare, this mission may be dangerous... I'll order the Shadows not to give you a mission in the next few days, and I'll let you know when I leave. ”

“… Good. ”

Sasuke's figure disappeared into the office.

When he left, two white-haired figures appeared in the office, one of them seemed to be a little strong, it was Jiraiya, one of the three shinobi of Konoha; The other person was a little lean, and it was Kakashi, the guide of the seventh class in the past.

"Is that really okay?"

Jiraiya's face was a little worried, and he said softly: "That guy from Orochimaru, it's not so easy to deal with, he's the most cunning person..."

Even if he knew that Sasuke's strength was very strong, if he wanted to defeat Orochimaru with his current strength, it was estimated that he would still be much worse... Most crucially, many signs indicate that Orochimaru has been coveting Sasuke's body.

Even if Naruto Uzumaki was in the country of Tian at that time, he might not be tempted by Orochimaru's strategy to make a mistake.

"Someone will take care of Orochimaru's affairs."

Naruto Uzumaki's face was full of confidence, and he looked like he was holding a chi-bead: "If nothing else, maybe the two Konoha treacherous ninjas will be resolved." ”

"Two?"

Jiraiya's face was a little solemn, and he nodded and said, "If you can kill Orochimaru this time..."

"Impossible."

Naruto Uzumaki stopped his teacher's words, he slowly shook his head, and continued, "It's not that easy to kill Orochimaru..."

He can't say that he doesn't want to kill Orochimaru at all, right?

After all, Orochimaru and Danzo jointly murdered three generations of Hokage Ape Flying Sun Slash, and not long ago, they almost destroyed Konoha .

Kakashi Hachiki was more concerned about his disciple and said softly, "Naruto, is it really time for Sasuke to know the truth about the Uchiha's demise?" ”

He had been hiding from his disciples.

Because the truth about the Uchiha's extermination is too shocking.

It's a drama of power, hatred, affection and intrigue.

The most pitiful person is undoubtedly Sasuke Uchiha, the only one who does not know the truth and spends his youth in hatred.

It's hard to imagine that if Sasuke knew that the revenge he had been working for for so long, it would be a brother-to-brother, hatred and grace conversation...

He's going to break down, right?

"Don't underestimate Sasuke."

Naruto Uzumaki glanced at his mentor Kaminobi, thought for a moment, and continued to add, "Don't underestimate Itachi too much... I just left the decision to him. ”

"Naruto, is your plan really okay?"

"Don't worry, Kakashi-sensei, I trust them."

Naruto Uzumaki's fingers flexed and whispered, "When the matter of Tanokuni is over, that's the real beginning..."
