"Congratulations to Princess Tsunade on her succession as the fifth Hokage."

Konoha wood,

Hokage Building,

After seeing off the second group of Uchiha Homon people to leave, Itachi and Artoria came to the Hokage's office calmly and politely under the wary gaze of the Shadow Ninja.

"The first time we met, in the lower Uchiha Itachi, the patriarch of the Uchiha's generation."

Itachi sat on the floor of his desk, looked at Tsunade on the main seat, and introduced himself softly.

Then, he looked at the girl beside him, "This is my friend, Artoria. ”

Finally, he looked at Orochimaru, who was standing behind Tsunade and nodding politely at him, and Jiraiya, who was sitting on the windowsill not far away, and whispered a greeting.

Compared to Tsunade, these two people, Itachi had seen before this.

Tomorrow will be the departure of the last members of the Uchiha clan, and as the patriarch, he should come over to inform Konoha and put the finishing touches on this relocation plan.

"I'm Artoria Pendragon."

After his voice fell, Artoria stood up from her chair, looked at Tsunade very solemnly, and stretched out her palm, "Hello, Konoha of the fifth Hokage. ”

This moment has great significance for her personally.

"Hello."

The blonde beauty sitting in the Hokage's seat was a little surprised by her movements, but she still imitated her behavior, and stood up and shook hands very cooperatively, responding to this courtesy.

Not a ninja, but not an ordinary person, the palm of his hand has the rough touch of a perennial grip on a blade.

In terms of demeanor, I tend to favor those guys in Kyoto Castle who pretend to be models.

In terms of appearance, it is a little different from the common face, and it seems that it is not from the five major countries.

A simple handshake brought up a lot of judgments about the person in front of him in Tsunade's mind.

Looks like a very strong woman, and she will soon take power from Konoha in earnest.

In the same way, Artoria also has a certain analysis of the beautiful and generous woman in front of her.

"Weasel Patriarch ......"

After some greetings, the two sat down again.

After tidying up the black robe on his body, Tsunade's hands and arms were propped up on the table, his palms crossed against his chin, his eyes looked at Itachi, and a mature, slightly neutral voice came out of his mouth, "You are more immature than I imagined. ”

He had been back in the village for a while, but this was the first time Tsunade had seen the rumored youngest patriarch in Uchiha history.

A child of a few years old.

But she won't underestimate the child in front of her because of her age.

Now in the entire Konoha Village, no force will underestimate this immature Uchiha patriarch.

After all, since Uchiha Itachi ascended the throne, there have been too many actions in this family, and every time it is just right, it is difficult for people to despise this patriarch.

But soon, Tsunade turned his attention to Artoria again, "This doesn't look like a ninja, it looks like ...... Nor does it look like a person from the Fire Nation. ”

"Both the name and the appearance are very strange."

"I take the liberty of asking, where did the Weasel Patriarch know this friend?"

Her tone seemed casual.

And the big snake pill and the self in the house are always vigilant.

Faced with such a scene, although Itachi has no waves on the surface, he feels very interesting inside.

In the past, when he was summoned to the Hokage's office by Sarutobi, he would often see two advisors, Mito Menyan and Koharu Zhuan, accompanying him.

Even according to the meeting records and meeting records left by his father, when he met with the four generations of Hokage, he was often accompanied by Sarutobi and others.

Now, this fifth Hokage is different.

However, compared to the four generations of Hokage who ascended to the throne at a young age, Tsunade is a person who has been extremely famous since the Second Ninja World War, and his contemporaries also have great influence in the village.

If they were all willing to support her and help her, Tsunade didn't need to be like Bo Feng Shuimen, she had a lot of people at her disposal.

"I'm sorry, it's a private matter."

However, Itachi doesn't intend to answer Tsunade's doubts about Artoria's identity.

Then, without giving Tsunade a chance to speak again, he replied softly, "The main purpose of this visit, on behalf of the Uchiha, is to say goodbye to all of you in Konoha for taking care of Konoha for so many years. ”

"But although the Uchiha is gone, he will always stand on the same side with Konoha and protect the country."

"I hope you can continue to be friends who help each other in the future."

"Of course."

Tsunade's crossed hands on the table spread out, "More is better than less, and I also hope to be in harmony with the Uchiha." ”

"Speaking of which, has the Uchiha's whereabouts been decided?"

"If there's no suitable place, Konoha can help."

She asked very sincerely, just like her mother's family kindly and measuredly asking how the married daughter was living in her husband's family.

"In the inner city of Kyoto Castle, about the location of Short Book Street."

Itachi replied calmly, "His Royal Highness the Daimyo's Mansion has a very good relationship with me, and has arranged a good area for us to live in. ”

Today, there is no need to hide this.

"Yes."

Tsunade wasn't surprised, "No wonder the daimyo sent me a letter, hoping that I would facilitate the Uchiha's migration process as soon as possible. ”

"But you also know that Konoha has been going on a lot lately, and the village can't take care of you for the time being."

"But regarding the Uchiha migration, I can still give a certain degree of manpower help, after all, the distance from Konoha to Kyoto City is not short, and there are quite a few of you."

To be honest, at the same time as she received this letter, she could probably understand why the old man was blocking the Uchiha's departure.

But unfortunately, this matter cannot be achieved in the current situation.

Konoha is already in turmoil, and if there is a financial loss due to disagreement with the daimyo at this juncture, it will be a big problem.

"Thank you Hokage-sama for your concern, but the matter of Uchiha's migration, we will solve it ourselves."

Itachi politely thanked and rejected Tsunade's 'human help', "Actually, I came today, in addition to saying goodbye, I have one more thing I want to ask Hokage-sama. ”

"Oh?"

Tsunade looked at him suspiciously.

"It's about the dispatch of front-line combatants."

Itachi explained softly, "When the Uchiha arrive at Kyoto Castle and settle down, I plan to rush to the border myself. ”

"At that time, a group of clansmen will return from the front line."

"As for the number of people, I will inform and negotiate through letters when the time comes, but after all, it is wartime, so I plan to report to Hokage-sama in advance as a member of Konoha before leaving."

The implication is that after tomorrow, the relationship between the two sides is no longer a relationship between superiors and subordinates, but a relationship of cooperation.

Speaking of the war, Tsunade had been speaking in a relaxed tone until then, "The ...... of the front-line personnel Dispatch? ”

"After all, Yunyin Village unilaterally provoked a war without reasonable conditions, and continued to harass the borders of the Fire Nation."

Itachi looked at her seriously, "We can't keep the Fire Nation on guard all the time, and we should let them see our power once in a while, right?" ”

"Blindly defending will only allow the enemy to gain an inch, and only an appropriate and reasonable counterattack can make the enemy better understand each other's situation."

"As a member of the Fire Country, the Uchiha hopes to use his power to make the Land of Thunder and the Cloud Hidden Village pay some price."

At the same time, it is also to show Konoha the power of the Uchiha.

It is impossible for them to point the finger at their own people and engage in senseless infighting.

But it can be aimed at outsiders, show strength, and eliminate hidden dangers.

Tsunade was silent for a moment, and after looking at Jiraiya, who was sitting by the windowsill, and Orochimaru behind him, he nodded and replied, "I know about this matter, and I will write to inform the front line as the commander of Akidodo Higashi and Inuzuka O, and after you arrive, I will entrust you with the command matters." ”

"But regarding the retaliation, I hope that the Uchiha can act with absolute certainty and inform Konoha in advance."

"As partners, I think we need to trust each other while we are moving forward and backwards together."

Tsunade is not an ape after all.

She didn't object to the retaliation, but simply advised the Uchiha to be calm, and emphasized the issue of trusting each other.

"When ......"

Itachi was very satisfied with this new fifth-generation Hokage.

He was about to say something.

An annoyed voice rang out from outside the door.

"Tsunade, Shimura Danzo said that he voluntarily accepted the investigation of the analysis department and proved that the Uchiha was related to the assassination of Sarufei, and hoped that Konoha would stop the Uchiha from leaving, why should you object!"
