Sarutobi looked at Itachi cautiously, the smile on his face not diminishing in the slightest, but in his heart it was the opposite.

The Uchiha Shisui is a few years older than the boy in front of him, but it is like a bay of crystal clear water, which can be seen clearly at a glance.

And the Uchiha Itachi, who was standing quietly in the room at the moment, had a humble smile on his face, but it seemed to be a bottomless ancient well, which could only see the surface, but could not see the depths.

"Fujiki Shinobu had an accident during the mission, and he can't be your leading teacher anymore in the future."

Sarutobi said something seemingly casually, but his gaze never took his eyes off Itachi's face.

"Mr. Fujiki was very kind to us, and we are very sad to hear this news."

Uchiha Itachi raised his head and calmly met Sarutobi's eyes, but there was not the slightest sadness on his handsome face.

He didn't need to pretend to be heartbroken, in front of old foxes like Sarutobi and Tuanzang, this kind of false disguise would only increase the vigilance of the other party.

Ape Fei Ri glanced at Tuan Zang out of the corner of his eye.

Tuan Zang sat upright, without speaking, but there was deep appreciation in his eyes.

He suddenly understood why Danzou was trying to recommend Itachi Uchiha, after all, the two were the same kind.

Because of this, the Uchiha Itachi became extremely dangerous in his eyes.

It was enough for Konoha to have one danzo, and if there was another one, he didn't dare to imagine what Konoha would become in this situation.

He seemed to be casually chatting with Uchiha Itachi, and the smile on his face became more and more kind, but all kinds of thoughts were chaotically intertwined in his mind.

Although he didn't want to see a young genius of Konoha fall, the inexplicable danger that he could feel from Itachi Uchiha eventually prevailed.

He made the decision he thought was the most appropriate.

"Danzo-sama recommended you to me, thinking that you have the ability to represent Konoha in this Shinobi exam. Your father, Lord Fugaku, also recommended you. But there's one biggest problem ... ”

After a long period of small talk, the words of the ape flying sun slash finally returned to the middle ninja exam,

"Since there is no recommendation to lead the team to the shinobi, you can only take this shinobi exam in your personal name. The other ninjas participate in the form of ninja squads. You will have more difficulty passing the exam than anyone else. I hope you are mentally prepared for this. ”

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

The Uchiha Itachi still looked pampered and unfazed.

"Then, I'm looking forward to seeing how you do on the Shinobi exam."

Sarutobi Hizashi smiled and looked at Danzo.

At this moment, Danzang seems to be more excited than Uchiha Itachi himself.

。。。。。。。。

"Are you satisfied?"

Sarutobi asked.

"I'm just happy for the village. With Uchiha Itachi participating, this time the middle ninja exam will no longer be a problem. ”

Tuan Zangyan replied insincerely.

"This time in the middle ninja exam, several secret families have agreed to send the elite of the lower ninja to participate. Not only that, but the Ape Fly clan will also send people to participate. In any case, I must show Konoha's strength in this middle ninja exam, so as not to bully me and Konoha no one in the other major ninja villages. ”

"Huh?"

Tuan Zang was a little surprised.

"The people of the Ape Fei clan are designated by me, after all, it is my family. As for the other secret families, it's up to you to convince you... ”

"In other words, it's up to me to offend the secret family. That's what it means, right? ”

Tuan Zang's expression suddenly became gloomy.

"Yes, that's the condition for Uchiha Itachi to take the middle ninja exam."

Ape Fei Ri showed a smug smile,

"You'll agree, won't you?"

In response to him, there was a heavy cold snort from Danzang.

。。。。。。。。

A special care ward at Konoha Hospital.

The entire building is hidden behind the tall main building.

The white room is like a room made of snowflakes, spacious and translucent.

Through the transparent glass window, warm sunlight pours in, with the unique scent of Konoha spring.

Only a small number of well-off patients and high-rise families can move in.

In order for his father to recover as soon as possible, Uchiha Shisui had just moved his father here from the noisy main building some time ago.

Although it is expensive, it allows the father to get a better environment for treatment and recovery.

Seeing his father's face flush day by day, his mood became much happier.

Today, however, it is the opposite.

At this moment, in the mess in the ward, Uchiha Shisui grabbed the collar of the attending doctor, pointed at his father, whose face was black on the hospital bed, and only had no breath in and out, and roared angrily,

"My father was fine yesterday, but how did he become like this today...

"Yes, I'm sorry, the nurse should have used the wrong medicine yesterday...

The doctor in a white lab coat stammered, his face flustered.

"With the wrong medicine, what medicine can make a good person eat like this?"

"I, I don't know...

The doctor was also confused.

The patient on the hospital bed suddenly convulsed violently, and his whole body twisted into a strange shape in pain like a shrimp.

"Father."

Uchiha shook off the doctor and rushed to the hospital bed.

The patient's body shook suddenly, and the body suddenly stretched out.

A look of relief appeared on his face, and his breathing stopped.

Uchiha Shisui stared blankly at his father, who was clamoring to be discharged from the hospital a day ago. In my eyes, there was a liquid gushing out like a spring.

Not tears, but blood.

。。。。。。。。

In a low, simple house, Uchiha Shisui sat on the floor, staring distractedly at the gray wall in front of him.

In the next room, there was the sound of a woman sobbing, and the air in the room was so oppressive that it was almost impossible to breathe.

"Where's my uncle's body?"

Uchiha Itachi asked softly as he looked at his friend's bloodless face.

"The dark department came to the hospital and took my father away, saying that he wanted to investigate the cause of death."

"The Shadows?"

Uchiha Itachi frowned slightly, and there was a faint bad feeling in his heart,

"If it's a simple medical accident, it shouldn't have anything to do with the shadows...

"It shouldn't be as simple as medical malpractice."

The lost soul gradually returned to the Uchiha Shisui body, and his eyes began to condense.

"It was so coincidental that the shadows came, almost as soon as my father died, and they arrived. There's definitely something weird about that. ”

"My uncle is just a patient, he has been bedridden for a long time, and it is impossible to grudge with others. Who wants to harm him? It doesn't make sense... ”

Uchiha Itachi muttered.

"On the way back from the hospital, I was thinking about this all the time. Completely clueless. ”

The Uchiha hung his head in pain.
