Chapter 68: The Boy We Liked Together in Those Years (1)
Sarutobi promoted Itachi to Shangnin, and the Uchiha had mixed reviews within him.
"The Hokage is obviously courting the Uchiha by promoting Itachi and doesn't want to clash with us, which is an opportunity for us to improve our relationship with Konoha higher-ups." Tegoshi is a dove within the Uchiha, believing that as long as the Uchiha makes a greater contribution to the village, he will always be recognized by Konoha.
"Hmph, you can also believe the words of the three generations of old men!" Kuraki's attitude was very disdainful, and he was very disgusted with the appearance of Tegoshi wanting to sell the Uchiha to Konoha, "The village persecuted our Uchiha clan, and the three generations did not take any substantive action except for saying something beautiful. Only a political idiot like you would be foolish enough to believe it. ”
"You ······" Shouyue's whole face turned red like a pig's liver, and he pointed at Kuraki, trembling with anger, "I'm also thinking about the Uchiha clan, what's wrong with a proper compromise, like you, shouting and shouting all day long, like a hardwood, refusing to bend it." I think the Uchiha is going to fall at the hands of people like you! ”
"Smack!" Hiraoka slapped his palm on the table, staring coldly at the two arguing people, Kuraki and Tekoshi glared at each other, afraid of Hiraoka's majesty, and didn't dare to speak.
Seeing that the two of them were quiet, Hiraoka criticized, "Kuraki, how did you speak, everyone sat here to discuss, not to accuse each other." You can disagree with Shouyue's point of view, but you also have to respect his right to speak, what's more, Shouyue is older than you, can't you treat him as an elder? ”
Kuraki was criticized like a wild vegetable that was not watered under the sun, and the whole person went down, who called Hiraoka the oldest. Kuraki was deflated, and his hands became more comfortable, and his hands unconsciously stroked his beard.
"And you, Tetsugoi!" As soon as Tegoshi's hand stroked his beard, Hiraoka turned his head, "As an elder of the Uchiha clan, can you say such a thing as the defeat of the Uchiha casually?" If it spreads out and is used by people with intentions, won't the clansmen be panicked! ”
Hiraoka played fifty boards each, and Kuraki was much more balanced. The hand was more and more stupid and withdrew his hand and put it on his thigh, and he was embarrassed to touch his beard.
"Nose, Fugaku, what do you say?" Hiraoka put an end to the quarrel and quickly returned to the established issues.
Nose sat quietly, staring at the ceiling of the roof, thinking, and said, "There must be a meaning of the three generations of goodwill, but there should be some compelling reason behind it." Uchiha, as the ninja family of Konoha, it is best not to strike preemptively, morally untenable, other families will not support us. ”
Nose's voice fell, and everyone's eyes were focused on Fugaku. As the patriarch, Fugaku represents the Uchiha clan to the outside world, and since the elite subordinates of each person belong to Fugaku, Fugaku's authority has become increasingly powerful.
"With the power of the Uchiha clan to overthrow the high-level of Konoha and make a preemptive strike, it will definitely not work." Fu Yue touched his chin and said slowly, "There is still a possibility of success in the first strike, but the probability of success is not high, unless Itachi can grasp the power in the shadows, cooperate with us, find an appropriate time, cooperate with the outside, and suddenly attack." ”
"Coup d'état?" Hand Yue's vest was sweating, and every time he discussed these secrets, he felt as if he was walking a tightrope, and under the tightrope, there was an abyss.
After a long discussion, they finally decided to wait and see what was going on, waiting for the Weasel to send back valuable and important information.
After the end of the library retreat in the dark part, Itachi was given a rare vacation. In peacetime, the number of tasks in the dark department has plummeted, and the tasks of the standing ninja unit have increased. What kind of escort caravans, rescue hostages, find runaway delinquent teenagers, or even help retrieve lost cats and dogs······ These missions are none of the business. The task of showing the warm image of the ninja village is more of a task of guiding the upper ninja to lead the lower ninja who has just graduated.
On this day, Itachi went to visit Takumi, only to learn that Takumi had gone on a mission to the Land of Wind. I haven't seen him for a few years, Takumi should be promoted to a middle ninja.
"Boom", a yellow-haired child hits Itachi's leg and sits backwards to the ground. Behind, several children were chasing.
"Don't run, monster!"
"Catch him!"
"Shoot him!"
······
Itachi squinted his eyes and frowned, isn't this Naruto?
Naruto got up from the ground with a bone, wiped his mud-covered sleeves on his mouth, and smiled embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!" "Naruto didn't have a good family education, but his personality was influenced by genetic inheritance, and he was very naughty, but he didn't lose his basic manners.
"Kid, you're getting a nosebleed!" Itachi looked at Naruto with mixed feelings, his unkempt hair stained with a layer of dust, and the beautiful glitter became a rustic chicken nest. Naruto's small face was a little thin, his skin was a little dull, and eating instant noodles for a long time had little nutrition; There are a few strange long hairs on each cheek, I really don't know how Watergate is inherited, probably a very person must have an extraordinary appearance; A tattered dress, exuding a strong smell of mango, I don't know how long I haven't taken a bath; The two feet are different in color, and when you look at it, it turns out that the shoes on one foot don't know where they fell.
In the original world, Itachi used to be very fond of Naruto in the Hokage world. He suffered a lot when he was a child, and it can be said that he tasted the evil of human nature, but he always had a bright heart and did not embark on the wrong path of hatred of society. Later, Itachi discovers that Naruto's father used to be the Hokage and left a controllable Nine-Tails Chakra in his belly, and his mother is a descendant of the nobility of the Vortex Country. It's like, one day, you find out that the poor boy in your class who has been helping to feed and clothe, his father is the former president of the country, his mother is the former richest man in the world, and he has left him an inheritance in a Swiss bank that will not be spent for several lifetimes. The inspirational story of the poor boy who said well, how did he finally become the second generation of rich officials to experience life?
Hey, even if his background is extraordinary, Naruto suffered after all. It wasn't Naruto's fault that he was born in the Hokage House, after all, who could choose the country and family he was born in. Naruto's essence is still not bad, and he can't deny his qualities just because he is the second generation of officials. Thinking like this, Itachi had a hint of love in his eyes, took out his handkerchief, and handed it over.
Ape Fei is really hard-hearted, when Watergate fought bravely, he hid his strength, slow, and showed his old state. For the child left behind by the water gate, Naruto, but erased his water gate surname, and let the Danzo human pillar power training plan, resulting in Naruto being regarded as a nine-tailed demon fox and hated by the ignorant villagers. is also a human pillar force, and Kushina's growth was taken care of by Uzumaki Mito, even if she was ridiculed, it was because of her hair, not because of her human pillar force. On the other hand, Naruto, Sarutobi and Danzou intentionally or unintentionally deprived him of a childhood that should have been happy, warm, and companions.
"Thank you!" There was no disgust in Itachi's eyes, only kindness, and Naruto was stunned, mechanically taking the soft white cotton handkerchief. The handkerchief was clean, white and flawless, and Naruto held it in his hand for fear of getting dirty.
Itachi smiled softly, it turned out that this was Naruto when he was a child. But it doesn't matter, with the warmth of the Nine-Tailed Yang Attribute Chakra, no matter how seriously Naruto is injured, he will recover quickly. Often in his sleep, Naruto's injuries recover unconsciously, but he is still too young to understand the secret.
"What's your name, little friend? Why are they chasing you? Itachi touched Naruto's head and asked.
"My name is Naruto, and they bully girls, so I'll reason with them. They got up and beat me, and if I couldn't beat me, I ran away! Naruto looked stern and pointed to the group of kids chasing after him.
"Bullying girls? It can't be Hinata, right? Could it be that today is the day Naruto planted the seed of love in Hinata's heart? Itachi stared at a group of children, there were civilian families, there were also many descendants of ninja families, and there were even Sarutobi families.
Itachi's left hand pressed against Naruto's shoulder, allowing him to stand beside him. The group of children chasing after them gradually slowed down, perhaps because they were a little hairy by the cold gaze of the ferret, and they patrolled one by one, and did not dare to step forward again.
"Little monster, what kind of skill is it to find someone to help?" The leader Sarufei Asahina stood up and shouted, his father's cousin's father was the Hokage, and even if the opposite side was a ninja from Uchiha, he was not afraid. The newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, he is too young and too lacking in discipline.
Naruto went to the Hokage Building to make a fool of himself, but Sarutobi didn't care much, after all, Naruto was a human pillar force, but Asahina's prank was severely punished. In this way, Asahina is quite unhappy with Naruto, and whenever he has the opportunity, he will gather a group of children to deal with Naruto. It just so happened that when he saw the lollipop in Hinata's hand today, Asahina snatched it and pushed Hinata to the ground, and Naruto happened to pass by and rushed up angrily. Asahina couldn't ask for it, and led his subordinates to chase and fight all the way, but he didn't expect Naruto to be not stupid, he ran to a crowded place, and met Uchiha's ninja, it seems that the Uchiha on the other side still has the intention of sheltering Naruto. The Sarufei clan doesn't have a good impression of the Uchiha, and Asahina is a little kid, how can he hide his thoughts, and he actually ignores the fan symbol on Itachi's body.
"I ······ I didn't ask anyone to help, I have the ability, let's go it alone! Naruto hurriedly retorted, and was about to struggle to rush out. Single-handedly, he is not afraid of Asahina.
Itachi pressed Naruto so lightly that he couldn't break free. Naruto glanced up at Itachi strangely, and without feeling any hostility, he fell silent.
Asahina seemed to sense Itachi's unhappiness and shivered, and the air in all directions seemed to be pressed together. Behind him, there are children who are more timid, hurry up and pull his clothes. Asahina thought about it, and today he wrote down the account for the time being, and dispersed with a group of children, but he couldn't spit out ivory in his mouth, "Little monster, you wait!" In the future, the Uchiha won't be able to protect you! ”
