Chapter 204: Telling the Truth

After experiencing Madara Uchiha's defection and the Nine-Tails Incident, the Konoha higher-ups have a growing sense of distrust of the Uchiha clan, and some people even point out that the Nine-Tails Rebellion is the Uchiha clan's revenge on Konoha Village. And the Uchiha clan also noticed that the Konoha high-level was constantly crowding them out, they were getting farther and farther away from the power center of Konoha from one generation to the fourth generation, all the four Hokages of Konoha had nothing to do with the Uchiha, and the Uchiha's voice in Konoha was getting smaller and smaller, and the clansmen's dissatisfaction with the Konoha high-level was deepening day by day. In the end, with the mutual distrust between the Konoha higher-ups and the Uchiha, the Uchiha decided to take risks for the future of the clan and launch a coup d'état!

In the midst of this coup d'état, the role played by the young Uchiha genius Itachi Uchiha is a double agent. Uchiha sent Itachi to the shadows of Konoha in the hope that Itachi could spy on the intelligence of Konoha high-level, but Itachi longed for peace, because of the influence of his best friend Uchiha Shisui, Itachi surpassed the narrow idea of his own clan since he was a child, and protecting the peace of Konoha Village was more important to him than competing for the interests of his own clan, so in order to prevent the Uchiha coup, Itachi informed the Uchiha high-level of the plan to the Konoha high-level, and since then he has become a double agent who wanders between the Uchiha and the Konoha high-level.

Itachi originally hoped to prevent the coup d'état peacefully, but the development of things was beyond his control, after the death of his best friend Uchiha Shisui, the Uchiha clan still insisted on launching a coup d'état, although the three generations of Hokage strongly advocated to resolve the crisis through negotiations, but time was pressing, and negotiations were too late. In such a desperate situation, Shimura Tunzo found Itachi and threatened Sasuke's life to blackmail Itachi into carrying out a plan to exterminate the Uchiha clan. In order to protect the peace of Konoha and to protect his favorite brother, Itachi made a decision.

In the end, only Sasuke was left in Konoha Village, a member of the Uchiha clan, and Itachi left Konoha and joined the Akatsuki organization. Itachi threatens with Konoha's intelligence and asks the three Hokage and Konoha higher-ups to treat Sasuke well, and he joins the Akatsuki organization to spy on Obito. It can be said that from beginning to end, Itachi has been working silently for Konoha alone in the dark. And now, in the original plot, Itachi was already seriously ill at this time, and time was running out, so in the end, Itachi decided to die at the hands of Sasuke, and his favorite brother ended his tragic life with his own hands.

Uchiha Itachi is a super popular character in Naruto, and many people are attracted by his cold appearance and strong strength, and Li Xiao was the same when he first came into contact with Itachi. But with the in-depth development of the plot, the truth of the Uchiha extermination of the clan was presented in front of everyone little by little like a cocoon, and Itachi's image suddenly came to a 180-degree reversal, from a murderer who betrayed the village and his family to a tragic hero who did not hesitate to kill his relatives for the peace of the village. It is also since the truth was revealed, Li Xiao's love for the ferret has been sublimated, he not only likes the role of the ferret, but he admires the ferret even more.

……………………

When Li Xiao told the truth about the Uchiha extermination in one breath, the huge Hokage's office was silent, Naruto and Sakura were dumbfounded, and Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Kakashi were silent. Li Xiao knew how much shock this truth would bring to Naruto, and at this time they needed time to accept this fact, so Li Xiao let out a long breath and waited quietly.

After a long silence, Naruto finally burst out, he stepped in front of Li Xiao, his two blue eyes widened, and he shouted in disbelief, "Xiao, what you said...... It's all true?! ”

Li Xiao replied calmly: "In front of Hokage-sama and our village head, can I lie?" ”

Naruto stared at Li Xiao's face for a few seconds without saying a word, and then he turned his head to look at Tsunade. This truth is too shocking, if someone else said it, Naruto would definitely not believe it, but Li Xiao told the cause of the whole incident in such detail that it was almost leaky, which made Naruto have to believe it. Naruto couldn't tell if what Li Xiao said was true, so he instinctively turned to Tsunade for help.

Tsunade was silent for a moment, her hands clenched tightly, the expression on her face was serious and scary, and it could be seen that Tsunade was also entangled.

"Li Xiao, how did you know the truth of the matter? Did Itachi say it to you? Tsunade raised his head and looked at Li Xiao scrutinically. If everything Li Xiao said was true, then there were probably only more than five people at the top of Konoha who knew the truth about the extermination, and even she, the current Hokage, didn't know, but Li Xiao, an outsider, was able to tell the extreme secret of this Konoha in such detail, which made Tsunade feel uneasy and confused from the bottom of his heart.

A faint smile appeared on Li Xiao's face, and he looked at Tsunade frankly: "Mother-in-law Tsunade, I know what you're worried about, Itachi has never mentioned to me what happened back then, and Itachi has never done anything sorry for Konoha." As for how I know the truth of the matter, there is an old saying that there is no impermeable wall in this world, and my information is also obtained from others. But Granny Tsunade, please rest assured, Konoha and Rain Shinobi are currently in an alliance, and you know that I strongly support the alliance between Konoha and Rain Ninja, so I will not do anything to harm Konoha's interests. ”

Tsunade nodded slightly in agreement after hearing this, before Li Xiao and the others arrived at Konoha, Yamato had already reported Li Xiao's situation to Tsunade, so Tsunade knew that Konoha and the Rain Ninja Alliance were actually promoted by Li Xiao, and in order to maintain this alliance, Li Xiao could not do anything that harmed Konoha. Moreover, although the truth of the extermination incident is very shocking, it is not of much value as intelligence, because this incident has happened for a long time, and now that Konoha has completely digested the impact of the Uchiha's extermination, even if outsiders know the truth, it is impossible to cause any substantial trouble to Konoha.

"Based on your words alone, without sufficient evidence, it is difficult for us to believe you right away." After Li Xiao finished speaking, Kakashi suddenly spoke, I don't know when, Kakashi had already put away his affectionate paradise, and his eyes became serious.

"I'm just telling you what I know, and whether I believe it or not is your business. And as far as I know, although the three generations of Hokage have passed away, there should still be people in Konoha who know the truth back then. Li Xiao said very freely, looking at Tsunade. So, then again, Tsunade-in-law, you haven't answered my request yet, can I participate in Sasuke's persuasion action this time? ”

Tsunade hesitated for a moment, and finally made a decision: "Okay, I agree to your request, then this Sasuke recovery mission will be the first cooperation between Konoha and Yushinobi." ”

Li Xiao couldn't help but laugh happily: "Guarantee to complete the task." ”
