Ethan was not an acting talent, but he had been well hidden for so many years, and a very important reason was that he had always allowed himself to 'wander' outside the plot.

When he begins to really interact with these characters, it is only a matter of time before he reveals his true nature. It's a miracle that he's been able to endure it for so long.

In other words, he has already exposed a lot of things, but the people of Konoha Village habitually look at him with their previous eyes, and they haven't realized this for the time being.

And Tsunade, who came back from the outside, had direct contact with Ethan's true character, so she knew that Ethan was not an honest person.

In order to prevent Ethan from staying and making trouble, Tsunade directly asked him to go out of the village on a mission, but he didn't expect Ethan to choose Kakashi and Sasuke Uchiha to team up with him to carry out this mission.

"Take Sasuke to search Orochimaru's lair...... This kind of thing can only be done by that kid. ”

Jiraiya sat on the windowsill of the Hokage's office, looking in the direction of the Konoha Village gate in the distance.

Just today, Ethan, Kakashi, and Sasuke Uchiha had taken the mission out of the village, and at the same time he had greeted Naruto Uzumaki, and when Naruto had packed his things, the two of them would also leave Konoha as well.

"What I didn't expect was that you would say yes. ”

"It might be safer to stay with him than to stay in the village. ”

“......”

Both of them had personally experienced Ethan's strength and knew that this kid's strength was terrifying...... No, maybe he didn't exert his full strength that day, and he couldn't imagine the true strength of this kid.

"But I'm afraid this kind of strength is no longer something that a genius can explain, right?"

"At least, he didn't show any hostility towards Konoha right now. ”

Tsunade smiled helplessly, Konoha's situation was too complicated: the two advisors seemed to be relying on the old and selling the old, but what was actually revealed was the resistance of the Konoha village clan to her taking over the Hokage.

Tsunade reminds them of the fear of being dominated by the Senju clan: the Senju brothers founded Konoha and became the first two generations of Hokage in Konoha Village, which was also the time when the Hokage had the strongest control over the village, and all the families in Konoha Village lived in the shadow of Senju.

Finally, the two powerful Hokages died, and the position of the Hokage was no longer held by the people of the Thousand Hands Clan, they seemed to see an opportunity to really rise, and even in order to avoid the comeback of the Thousand Hands Clan, they directly forced this clan out of the power core of Konoha.

Unexpectedly, Tsunade actually became the fifth generation Hokage, which evoked bad memories for many people, so they tried their best to suppress Tsunade's power, which is why the two advisors always made trouble for Tsunade - and even secretly stood with Danzo, in fact, they just wanted to support a person to fight against the Hokage.

The exterior of Konoha is not calm either, the turmoil in the Sand Ninja Village has barely subsided, and the cloud ninja is still not very stopping, not to mention that there is also Xiao who is hidden in the shadows and does not know what the purpose of the tailed beast is.

"If he is also hostile to Konoha, then I, the Hokage, really can't do it anymore. ”

Orochimaru, Akatsuki, the other ninja villages, and the inside and several big families, there are enemies inside and out, and if Ethan, who is supposed to belong to the Hokage's lineage, turns around to deal with Konoha, Tsunade really doesn't know what to do.

"Don't say these frustrating words, this is not the Tsunade I am familiar with. ”

"Hmph, I'm just talking about it, do you think you can defeat me with such a little difficulty?"

"It's best if you can pull yourself together...... However, you do need to develop some power of your own. Jiraiya looked downstairs, countless Konoha ninjas were busy coming in and out, and one of the pink-haired figures happened to come into his sight: "Naruto and Sasuke's teammate are actually very talented children. ”

"Sakura Haruno?"

Because of the particularity of the two children of Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno, as a teammate, has also been carefully understood by Tsunade, and he is a fairly talented child from an ordinary family, and he is considered a real Konoha person, and he does not have any 'background background'.

"I'll take a good look at her ......"

Sakura Haruno didn't know that she was about to embark on her own path, and Sasuke Uchiha, another member of the seventh class, was complaining to Ethan.

"Aren't you on a mission now?

He has no objection to wearing weights to carry out tasks, but why did Ethan increase the amount of weights on his own when he went out? Shouldn't he reduce the amount to avoid affecting the task?

It's a pity that Ethan gave a special reply to him: "You don't need to really do it on this mission, you just treat it as a practice out." ”

“......”

Sasuke Uchiha's expression was so wonderful and exciting, and he turned his head to look at Kakashi next to him: "Why is Kakashi-sensei in command, but you are in charge?"

This puzzled him, especially since Ethan hadn't said anything about the mission so far.

After running for a long time, the three of them were now in the inaccessible forest, and Ethan suddenly stopped and motioned for the two of them to come closer.

"Now it's time to explain the mission. ”

Tsunade asked him to come out and check if there was any Orochimaru's lair around, in addition to driving him out of the village and letting him go outside to toss, he really wanted to clean up Orochimaru's lair, at least to make some trouble for Orochimaru, and relieve Konoha's defensive pressure.

Ethan didn't refuse, it's good to stay bored and go out for a walk, if you really bump into Orochimaru, you can beat him up, if Orochimaru doesn't know whether to live or die with him, he doesn't mind destroying this thing.

However, with Orochimaru's shrewdness, he would definitely not be so stupid to jump out and be killed by himself, especially since this guy's recent situation is not very good, and there is a high probability that he is hiding in a safe secret base.

After being injured by Ethan last time, plus Orochimaru's body is now at its limit, he should be waiting for Sasuke's body.

Even if he can't get Sasuke's body in time, he will have to be reincarnated, and the new body will take some time to get used to, so he will definitely not jump out and fight Ethan at this time.

So the probability of encountering Orochimaru on this mission is not high, at most encountering Orochimaru's subordinates, such as the loyal Jun Maro?

Thinking about these things in his head, Ethan casually told Kakashi and Sasuke about this mission.

Kakashi and Sasuke Uchiha were speechless as they listened to Ethan's story.

"Just the three of us?"

Isn't there a little too few people?

Especially Kakashi, although he is Konoha's upper ninja, and he is still one of the most elite people in the upper ninja, but with two young people, he is going to overturn Orochimaru's lair, and the five generations of adults see that they are not pleasing to the eye, so they let themselves be sent to death?

"Don't worry, it's hard to run into Orochimaru himself on this mission. ”

Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, in this case, the mission seemed reasonable, it seems that the five generations of adults don't have any opinions about themselves, maybe it's just to experience Ethan, and it's also out of the sense of safety to send himself over to follow?

But Ethan's next words made Kakashi's heart twitch again.

"But there's more to this mission than that, there's something else to do. ”

"What's the matter?"

Sasuke didn't think too much about it, so he casually asked, and then Ethan's words made him unable to calm down.

"Capture Itachi Uchiha!"

Kakashi and Sasuke's eyes widened like light bulbs at the same time, one surprised with a little anticipation, the other with a look of surprise.

"Are you serious?"

"Of course!"

"This is a mission arranged by Hokage-sama?"

Ethan nodded without blushing or panting, and at the same time in the Hokage's office building, Tsunade had just seen the message left by Ethan: I'm looking for evidence (Uchiha Itachi)!

"This little ghost!"

The note was pressed under Tsunade's teacup, and she hadn't noticed it at all because she had been talking to someone before, and she didn't notice it until this time.

She felt that her head hurt, it was definitely too late to chase after her, and she felt from the bottom of her heart that it didn't seem like a bad thing to let Uchiha Itachi come back.

Uchiha Itachi has been undercover outside for a long time, and he must have enough knowledge of the Akatsuki organization, and if he can come back, he can also bring this information back to Konoha.

At the same time, Uchiha Itachi should know some of the black material of Tuanzang, and it is also a good thing to bring down Tuanzang.

What's more, the Uchiha Itachi is strong!

It is a huge waste for such a powerful ninja to be left outside as an undercover agent? As for what to do with his identity after returning? There are a large number of ninjas in the shadows who hide their true identities or even have no real identities, so what is the difficulty of arranging an Uchiha Itachi?

The only thing that bothered her was, could Ethan do it?

"You look affirmative, but I'm sure it's not Hokage-sama's order. ”

"Kakashi-sensei, it's good to know this kind of thing in your heart, just say it and slap your face more!"

"You can also pretend you don't know you've been slapped in the face. ”

“......”

The incoherent conversation between the two made Sasuke, who was surging with enthusiasm, calm down a little, Ethan's teaching during this time was still useful to him, at least he was not carried away by the hot blood.

"Do you know where he is?"

"Since I mentioned this, of course there is a way to find this person. ”

Sasuke clenched his fists, he really wanted Ethan to take him to Uchiha Itachi immediately, but is his strength enough now?

Seeing that he didn't make a noise and set off immediately, Kakashi and Ethan both nodded secretly, Sasuke had indeed grown a little, and at the same time, they had each strengthened their thoughts: they decided that they couldn't go to that dangerous man now, and they could take Sasuke to meet that guy!

"But before we go, there's one more thing to do......"

With Ethan's words, Kakashi suddenly felt himself in a trance.

"Oops! It's an illusion!"
