Uchiha Itachi stood on top of a mountain in the distance, looking out at Konoha.

The scorching summer sun casts Konoha with a layer of golden light, which makes people dare not look at it directly. This is Konoha, the most beautiful and prosperous place in the Ninja Continent.

It's just that the dazzling color fell into his eyes, but it was black, and the black vortex of conspiracy swirling at high speed in the center of Konoha wanted to devour not only the Uchiha clan, but Konoha itself.

The murderous intent emanating from the golden light made him feel no warmth in the sun, only a cold that penetrated his heart.

So, let it all begin.

Without hesitation, he rushed towards Konoha like a moth that pounced on the flames.

。。。。。。。。

Konoha, "root".

Inside the gloomy underground building, there is an aura of darkness that has not changed for decades.

From the day it was founded, there was only one owner in this building, and that was Danzo.

Because of this, Sarutobi Hichi, who is the Hokage, has never been here once.

Danzo looked at the Uchiha Itachi below with a blank expression, trying to see through his heart. However, he saw nothing but a thick fog.

He sighed in disappointment, breaking the silence in the room.

"I heard that you left Konoha without permission after the middle ninja exam, which is not allowed in Konoha."

His gaze fell motionlessly on Itachi Uchiha.

"Yes."

Itachi Uchiha's answer was simple. He hung his head, not looking at Danzo's disgusting face.

He knew Danzo better than anyone else, including Tuanzo himself.

Tuan Zang is a vicious wolf, and cooperating with him is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger.

As long as there was the slightest other possibility, he would not make that choice.

But the strength of the Uchiha clan is weak, especially to fight against a behemoth like Konoha, just one Uchiha clan is simply hitting a stone with an egg.

The shadow department directly under the Hokage directly under the command of the three generations of Hokage Ape Flying Sun Slash alone is enough to destroy the Uchiha clan. What's more, what Ape Flying Sun Slash can command is not just as simple as directly under the dark department.

And within the Uchiha clan, after the assassination incident, the cohesion has been greatly enhanced, and there is finally a bit of a common hatred. But that's also compared to the scattered sand of the past. If you really want to talk about combat effectiveness, it's really average.

In this situation, it is urgent to find the right allies. Looking at the entire Konoha area, it seems that there is only one person left who has the strength and the courage to fight against the ape flying sun.

This is also the reason why Uchiha Itachi came to "Root" again.

"Tell me what you're here for."

Danzo's eyes shone with greed, the kind of hungry wolf that only appears when faced with extremely delicious food.

"Hokage-sama has been plotting against the Uchiha clan for a long time, I'm right."

The Uchiha Itachi suddenly looked up and looked directly into Danzo's one-eyed.

Danzo's wrinkles deepened as if they had been cut by a knife. He frowned and looked at Uchiha Itachi coldly, his face gradually becoming solemn.

"Although the Uchiha clan has no intention or ability to fight against Hokage-sama, there are hundreds of Uchiha people, and we also have the right to live."

He lowered his head slightly, waiting for Danzang's reply.

"What do you mean?"

After a long time, Tuan Zang coldly threw out a sentence.

His tightly knit brow never let go.

"Since the Hokage-sama's big tree can't accommodate the Uchiha clan, then we can only find another big tree to keep out the wind and rain. If even Konoha can't accommodate the Uchiha clan, then we can only leave Konoha。。。。。。。 ”

"The Uchiha clan is a famous family in Konoha and one of the families that founded the Konoha Hidden Village, and if you want to leave Konoha, I'm afraid it's not as simple as you say."

Danzo heard the resentment and helplessness in Uchiha Itachi's words, and his face gradually softened.

"You mean the Uchiha want my protection, right?"

"Yes, sir!"

Uchiha Itachi replied firmly.

"The Uchiha clan, the Danzo clan, and the 'roots' under my command are indeed enough to gain a foothold in Konoha. But what about me, what do I get? ”

"The Uchiha will help you get what you've always wanted."

Itachi Uchiha said the answer that had been prepared for a long time.

"If Uchiha Shisui were standing in front of me and saying this to me, I would have made my promise on the spot. It's a pity... ”

He shook his head, and a smile inadvertently flashed across the corner of his mouth,

"It's a pity that you're not him, and you can't represent the Uchiha clan. I'm glad you came to me, so I promise to consider your offer. ”

After a pause, he continued:

"There's one condition, though."

"Your Excellency, please speak."

"From now on, you join 'Roots'. This is the premise of all cooperation, and if you refuse, then all what I said before will be null and void. ”

The smile on the corner of Tuan Zang's mouth grew stronger. His cold countenance could no longer hide the smugness in his heart. For decades, everything he wanted seemed at his fingertips. And all this was brought about by the Uchiha boy in front of him.

"I agree to join 'root.'"

Uchiha Itachi replied without hesitation,

"As for the Uchiha stopper, I'll convince him."

Itachi Uchiha quietly left the 'roots' without attracting anyone's attention. Most people didn't even know that he had returned to Konoha, including the Uchiha Shisui.

。。。。。。。。

Rumors are like a gust of wind, they come and go as fast as they come.

Konoha quickly came out of the effects of the Uchiha assassination, and what people talked about once again became a trivial matter among the parents.

This seems a little unusual to the people of Konoha who have never been short of explosive news.

Beneath the calm waters, there are huge waves brewing. It is only before the catastrophe comes, that only the very few who are at the center of power understand what is coming.

It seems that this is the case, at least the three generations of Hokage Ape Flying Sun Slash think so.

He was happy to see the calm and harmonious Konoha in front of him. It's not just inside Konoha that this matter is also extraordinarily calm in the Ninja Continent.

The only unusual news came from the Land of Rain, where an underground organization called "Akatsuki" began to declare that it had a posture beyond the Rain Hidden Village.

The strange thing is that as the leader of Yuyin Village, Sanshoyu Hanzo seems to have disappeared, and has not appeared for a long time, as if acquiescing to the existence of "Xiao".

However, this is an internal affair of the Land of Rain. What's more, no matter how powerful "Akatsuki" is, it can't affect the Fire Country and Konoha anymore, so Sarutobi Hizashi only laughed at this news.

All his energy was focused on the next plan.

Before the program can begin, he needs a person's commitment.
