Chapter 61: The Meeting
In the cold and damp underground building, the sound of "ticking" water from nowhere added to the gloomy and dark atmosphere.
The dim light cast on Itachi's face, painting his handsome face with an eerie layer of color.
He let his footsteps move with his body, but his mind returned to the dense forest of that day.
"I'm not a traitor...
These were Hinata's last words before he died.
Even as he was about to die, the man tried to prove his innocence.
It's ridiculous and pathetic ...
Hinata's face only stayed in Uchiha Itachi's mind for half a second, followed by Uchiha Shisui's kaleidoscope writing wheel eyes.
These eyes are the real beginning of Uchiha Itachi's tragic life.
From the moment the Uchiha opened his eyes, he would officially stand on the opposite side of Danzo and make enemies of this No. 2 person in Konoha.
。。。。。。。。
Itachi Uchiha's thoughts were interrupted by a dark aura.
Even through the heavy wooden door, he could still feel the hungry eyes of Tuanzang in the room.
The door was opened from the inside.
To his surprise, in addition to Danzo, there was also a ninja wearing a special white mask called "Root".
In the two hollows behind the mask's eyes, the gloomy gaze never left his body.
"Itachi Uchiha, the mission is done well."
Danzou didn't look at Itachi Uchiha, leaning on the chair with one hand and flipping through the documents on the desktop with the other.
Uchiha Itachi didn't answer and waited quietly.
The silence added to the dark atmosphere in the room.
And behind Danzo, the ninja wearing the white mask stared at Itachi Uchiha with his eyes as if he wanted to see through Uchiha Itachi's every movement and expression.
"Roots" is actually more suitable for you...
After a long time, Tuan Zang raised his head from the mountain-like document and said lightly.
Uchiha Itachi responded to his suggestion with a look of silence and determination.
"Since you've decided, then you go to the Hokage's office, and the Hokage-sama will personally arrange your whereabouts...
Danzou sighed softly, clearly a little disappointed with Uchiha Itachi's decision.
The Uchiha Itachi bowed deeply and left without looking back.
There was a faint uneasiness in his heart.
The dark atmosphere inside the underground building added to his worries.
At this meeting, the defense of the Tuanzang office was raised by several levels.
In addition to the ninja who was eyeing the group behind him, there were at least more than six powerful ninjas ambushed around the group's office.
So far, the Uchiha Itachi believes he hasn't shown the slightest hostility in front of Danzou.
So, why is Tuan Zang so tightly guarded?
The cold and vigilant gaze cast in the darkness was like spider silk, tying him up to death, almost breathless.
The crunched eyebrows tied a knot at the center of his brow that he couldn't untie until he stepped out of the dark underground structure.
。。。。。。。。
The bright, but not dazzling sunlight dispelled the darkness that surrounded Itachi.
Quite different from the "Root", which is located underground, the Hokage's office is located under the "Hokage Rock", the tallest building in Konoha.
When pedestrians passing by Konoha look at the four huge heads on the Hokage Rock, they can vaguely see the diligent figure of the three generations of Hokage apes.
This is the first time that Uchiha Itachi has officially met with the three generations of Hokage apes, Tobi Hichi.
In their previous lives, the two had several brief contacts.
Uchiha Itachi doesn't have a special impression of this Hokage-sama, and he doesn't respect it, but he doesn't hate it.
In the tragedy of the extermination of the Uchiha clan, the supreme leader of Konoha played the role of a bystander perfectly.
It's a bit far-fetched to really blame him for the tragedy of the Uchiha clan.
But as the Hokage, why is he like a passerby at this moment when the fate of Konoha is decided?
Itachi Uchiha knocked on the door of the Hokage's office with confusion.
"Come in!"
Itachi Uchiha pushed open the door, revealing a face that was both familiar and unfamiliar.
There was a kind smile on his wrinkled face, kind and majestic.
This is the three generations of Hokage: Sarutobi Sun Slash.
The Uchiha Itachi bowed deeply, observing everything in the room's room with only the corner of his eye.
Outside the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows are beautiful leaves, and due west, the fan emblem, which symbolizes the Uchiha clan, can be seen glittering in the sunlight.
Soon, there will be a river of blood under the huge fan emblem.
He sighed silently in his heart and turned his attention back to the old man in front of him.
"It's Uchiha Itachi, I watched your game during the middle ninja exam, and it was very good...
Ape Fei Ri slashed the family and seemed to gossip, without the slightest shelf of a person in a high position.
Uchiha Itachi bowed slightly and politely responded to his compliment.
"I've already read the report of Lord Tuanzang, and your performance in the trial mission to enter the shadows is also very good, so...
Ape Fei Ri Slash stood up and smiled at him from afar,
"In the future, I'll leave it to you."
。。。。。。。。
The addition of the shadows went unexpectedly.
The third generation of Hokage Ape Tobi Hizashi readily approved Uchiha Itachi's application to join the Shadows.
Itachi, itachi, itachi, isn't an ordinary eleven-year-old boy.
Inside his young body existed a reborn soul.
So he still read a kind of imperceptible vigilance from the depths of the ape's eyes.
Itachi Uchiha could understand this vigilance.
The genius of the Uchiha clan is known as someone who can surpass the four generations of Hokage Wave Feng Shui Gate.
At the age of eleven, he was able to kill the elite ninja in the shadows, and Hinata, who has "white eyes".
It's natural for apes to be vigilant.
At the moment, it wasn't that that bothered Uchiha Itachi.
Rather, within a day, he had to go to see Danzang for the second time.
According to common sense, the Shadow Department is the direct force of the Hokage, and the personnel should be arranged by the Hokage himself.
Sarutobi agreed to Uchiha Itachi joining the shadows, but strangely kicked the ball back to Danzo, leaving the personnel arrangements about Uchiha Itachi to Danzo.
After receiving this somewhat odd order, Uchiha Itachi had to walk the path leading to the gloomy underground structure once more, his mind full of the man whose body was half hidden in a white bandage.
This man is his greatest nightmare since he was reborn.
If he could kill someone in his dreams, then Tuan Zang had died countless times in his dreams.
Every time he meets with Danzo, Uchiha Itachi must carefully hide his hatred in a corner of his heart that no one can detect.
Only in this way will he be able to calmly face Danzo, the initiator of the Uchiha clan's extermination.
