Chapter 111: Turmoil in the Shadows

Konoha Village, the Hokage Building, and Sarutobi are listening to a report from the Shadows.

"What? Itachi killed the root of Danzo? ”

Ape Fei put down his pipe and took the information from the shadows, his brow furrowed tightly. He was well aware of Danzo's hostility towards the Uchiha, and this hostility naturally affected the roots.

Now that Konoha has made peace externally and put down the rebellion of Wama internally, the contradictions with the Uchiha have naturally emerged.

Root, it's too much of a monkey rush! Sarufei thought to himself, a clever hunter will not reveal his intentions at all before launching the final blow on his prey, but it is better to be at the root, for fear that the Uchiha will not know their hostility.

Ape Fei guessed in his heart, maybe it was because Gen didn't know how to advance or retreat in front of the weasel, so there was such a disaster! Itachi is an extremely valuable chess piece that Konoha has entered the Uchiha, and Sarufei does not want to give up until the last moment. What's more, the daimyo appointed the Uchiha as the guardian of the daimyo clan, and he had to let the Uchiha politely refuse, otherwise Konoha would have to deal with the Uchiha clan, which would be a little unflattering in reputation.

In Root's base, Danzou slammed his cane on the ground and looked in the direction of the Uchiha with a blank look.

"Itachi, you're so arrogant at a young age, don't you know how Zhishui died?"

couldn't help but feel that Tuanzang was not angry, and after stopping the water and making trouble, Tuanzang's strength was seriously weakened. Now every root ninja is a valuable manpower to him, and he doesn't dare to use it as cannon fodder as before. But this time, fortunately, Itachi killed four roots at once, and Tuan Zang was a little heartbroken.

Itachi kills the root and the Uchiha becomes the guardian daimyo, and the news spreads to the major families of Konoha that some are worried, some are happy, and some don't care. However, the estrangement between Uchiha and Konoha is not a day or two, and there are one or two more things that Konoha doesn't like, and it's not a big deal.

Secretly, the residents of Konoha quietly paid attention to the movements of Konoha and the Uchiha.

While the residents of Konoha were talking, Itachi left Fire City and swaggered back to Konoha Village.

"Look, look, isn't that the Itachi of the Uchiha family?"

On the watchtower of the Konoha Gate, a ninja turned his binoculars and shouted.

"Really? Is Itachi back? ”

In the control room, Ebisu put down the little yellow book and ran out. As the saying goes, people who have carried guns together naturally have better feelings. After experiencing the judgment war, he may not have a good impression of the Uchiha, but Ebisu is very fond of Itachi.

In Ebisu's opinion, Itachi, like Kakashi, is a young talent, not afraid of hardship, not afraid of tiredness, and the combat mission is completed properly, so that people can rest assured that they can hand over their backs to him.

After returning to Konoha for repairs, Ebisu returned to the village defense force and was in charge of the village's vigilance. During this time, he heard that Itachi had accepted the task of chasing and killing the horse, and he was still a little worried.

In the distance, Ebisu saw Itachi rushing towards the village, carrying a man in his hand. Take a closer look, it's not a horse or someone.

"This kid has really completed the task of chasing and killing Hema!"

Ebisu smacked his lips, surprised, thinking that the juniors had grown up so fast, and he was a little annoyed in his heart.

"Ebisu senior, why did you make meritorious service this time and didn't get promoted to your position?"

Arriving at Konoha's gate, Itachi saw Ebisu leaning against the door and quipped.

"Hehe, I originally wanted to manage the bathhouse, but I was always opposed by the Konoha Women's Federation." Ebisu spread his hands and said helplessly, "After discussion, I'm still here to guard the gate." ”

A place with a lot of beautiful women is Ebisu's favorite place. At the gate of Konoha, although it is not as good as a bathhouse, it is good to go in and out, there are always a few good-looking ones. By searching for contraband, he was still able to eat a few bites of tofu.

"This is Kazuma?"

"Well, it's true, I took a lot of effort to capture it."

Itachi lifted up the horse and handed it to Ebisu. Ebisu shrank back, he could kill, but he didn't like the corpses of the dead, especially men.

"Okay, okay, I'll send two people with you to report to the Hokage."

Ebisu quickly called two shinobi and accompanied Itachi to the village.

"Look, Kazuma has been caught!"

"It's this and the horse that made the pillar force go away!"

"You deserve it!"

"Just like that, it's really cheap for him!"

Along the way, the residents of Konoha point fingers at Kazuma's corpse. Kazuma used the power of the human pillar to attack innocent civilians, but the residents of Konoha hated him to death.

It was really gratifying to see Wama captured back to Konoha with his own eyes, and even with it, Itachi's image in the minds of the villagers was much taller.

"This is Fuyue's son Itachi, what a human being is unseemly!" (When the weasel heard it, he could only helplessly hehe.) )

"At a young age, you can kill twelve ninjas, it's really not easy!"

"The Uchiha clan deserves to be a genius Sharingan clan!"

Itachi listened to their discussions, laughing and silent, these masses, emotions are as changeable as the weather, and they can't be counted on at critical moments. He returned to the village in a high-profile manner, carrying a horse through the streets from the bustling area, just hoping that they would spread the news, and not expecting that when the Uchiha was in trouble, they would stand up and help.

Uchiha has always been contributing to Konoha as long as the residents of Konoha have this awareness in their hearts.

On the top of the high Hokage Building, Sarufei watched Itachi walk through the crowd with his head up, and said with a smile: "Young man, it's still a little vanity!" He shook his head, I won't bury your credit, do you need to make such a big fanfare.

The ninjas of the shadows, even if they make meritorious contributions, will not publicize them to the outside world. This time, Itachi was incorporated into Konoha's counterinsurgency force, and with the merit, he hurriedly showed off, and Sarufei only thought that the young man's heart and vanity were to blame, and it was not easy to accuse Itachi of anything.

Back in the shadows, Aso was already waiting. After examining Kazuma's corpse, a trace of surprise flashed in Aso's eyes, it turned out to be the Spiral Pill that resulted in Kazuma's life.

"Your mission has been well accomplished, but there are some questions that the adults will ask you personally."

Aso retreated to the side, and Sarufei and Tuanzang walked in together.

Aso secretly nodded to Sarutobi, indicating that the corpse was indeed Kazuma. Ape Fei breathed a sigh of relief, guarded the twelve ninjas, and completely disappeared under the wheel of history. The rest of the land is not concerned about the world, Asma is his own son, and the ninja forces in the Fire Nation have been almost completely eliminated after this battle.

"Itachi, good job."

Ape Fei sat down on the chair with his hands behind his back, and had a new assessment of Itachi's strength in his heart. If the strength is good, there is value in use.

"Did you gain anything after the horse died?"

Itachi took out a scroll, and after unlocking the seal, he took out Wama's Japanese tin staff, four-bladed iron claws, sealing, unsealing, and several ninjutsu scrolls. These, Itachi has studied, and there is not much value left behind, so it is better to take them out to win Konoha's letter.

Aso took these things and placed them in front of Sarufei, who nodded with satisfaction. After Kazuma's death, Konoha's treasury has more collections.

At this time, Tuan Zang suddenly spoke, and his tone was not good: "Konoha will be rewarded for his merits, and he will be punished for his mistakes." But how can you explain that you killed four roots for no reason? ”

"For no reason?" Itachi snorted coldly, "They are going to forcibly take away the daimyo in full view of everyone, isn't this even tearing off the last fig leaf of the daimyo ? ”

Everyone is dead, and of course Itachi blames all the blame on the other. Although he has bad intentions, if you don't provoke me, how can I have a reason to fight?

"Ah ······" Tuan Zang choked for a while, and scolded in his heart, these boys, I don't respect the daimyo, it doesn't mean that you can also disrespect the daimyo.

"Even if they don't respect the Daimyo, you can't kill them. They are the ninjas of Konoha, and you are also the ninja of Konoha, how can you kill each other? ”

Tuan Zang said gloomily that the hat of killing compatriots was buttoned down, and he had to teach Itachi a lesson.

"I'm a ninja in Konoha, but I'm following the Hokage's orders. Anyone who harms the Hokage's image and Konoha's interests, even if he is Konoha's ninja, is a traitor. ”

Itachi bowed to the Hokage, the current Itachi has not yet left the shadows in terms of identity, even if there is any punishment, theoretically it will not be the turn of Tuanzang to intervene.

Ape Fei glanced at Tuanzang, after so many years, he only thinks about the present, and does not know how to consider long-term interests. Next, to deal with the Uchiha clan, it's too late to win over Itachi, so why make the relationship so stiff.

"Itachi's merits and demerits, after the elder group deliberates, they will give an explanation!" Ape Fei stood up, took a puff of cigarette, and said, "Itachi, don't take it to heart, Tuan Zang is straighter, he has no malicious intentions." You go back first, I haven't been home for nearly a year, and I'm afraid Fuyue misses it so much! ”

Itachi respectfully withdrew from the shadows, sneering in his heart, Tuan Zang has no malice, if Tuan Zang has no ill will towards the Uchiha, then it is really the sun coming out of the west.
