"The death of the three generations of Hokage does have a certain relationship with our Uchiha clan."

When he went to the Hokage Building, there were only two people, Itachi and Artoria.

When they left, there was a white-haired middle-aged man in a black loose robe beside them.

And when they sat down in a nearby park, Itachi's first words made Jiraiya's expression serious.

"Patriarch Itachi, it's not appropriate to confess this to me at this time, right?"

Jiraiya frowned and looked at the young man sitting on another bench, his face, words, and tone were no longer as kind as when Uchiha Mikoto came to visit with Itachi.

"Nothing out of place, anyway......"

Sitting next to Artoria, Itachi calmly looked at Jiraiya on the bench opposite, "We don't want to be enemies of each other, do we?" ”

Jiraiya: "......"

He didn't reply, just stared at Itachi with a blank face.

Obviously, if the death of Sarutobi was really the work of the Uchiha, he would not be able to face it with a normal heart.

"Regarding the Uchiha's previous situation, Jiraiya-sama is also clear."

Itachi also looked back at Jiraiya generously, and did not dodge his gaze, "The Uchiha has already made concessions and chose to leave Konoha, but the three generations of Hokage have opposed it, do you think this is appropriate?" ”

Jiraiya's face never changed, and he was always cold, "So you conspired with Shimura Danzo to assassinate three generations?" ”

As he said this, he also glanced at Artoria, who was sitting next to Itachi, and guessed the identity of the girl.

can make Uchiha Itachi so reassured, come to think of it, this girl's status in Uchiha is not low.

Can...... She was clearly not from the Uchiha clan, but from a foreign race!

"Do we Uchiha choose to sit idly by and be captured?"

Itachi asked rhetorically, "The fish was washed ashore, and it knew it had to flutter twice before it died." ”

"We Uchiha have paid so much for Konoha, do you think that our Uchiha should be killed?"

"But come to think of it, you can't understand it, after all, we all have different positions."

These words made the originally cold-faced Zilai a little unnatural," ...... I. ”

He wanted to retort, but he didn't know what to say.

Because in fact, from the perspective of Jiraiya who jumped out of Konoha and became a writer and traveled to the ninja world, he knew very well how much Uchiha had been wronged.

Before the incident, he had also persuaded the ape to fly to the sun, and so far, he would directly let the Uchiha leave.

So in the face of such a scene, he is actually very confused in his heart.

As an outsider, Jiraiya feels that everything Uchiha does is taken for granted.

But as a disciple, it was impossible for him to ignore the fact that the Uchiha had killed his teacher.

"Actually, I don't say this to explain anything to Jiraiya-sama, or to get your understanding."

Itachi wasn't surprised by his unnatural appearance, "I just don't want the Uchiha to be burdened with some crimes that don't belong to me. ”

"What should be admitted, I have generously admitted."

"But what we shouldn't admit, we won't admit either."

"Although the assassination of the three generations of Hokage is related to our Uchiha, it was not killed by our people, and before our people did it, the people of the Akatsuki organization secretly attacked, and this is an organization that is happy to see the Fire Country become chaotic."

"And we, the Uchiha, have no cooperative relationship with the people of the Akatsuki organization, and at the same time, we are happy to stand on the same front with Konoha and face the Akatsuki organization."

It's just words, and there's not even any tangible evidence.

This made Jiraiya's face turn subtle, "Do you think this will convince me?" ”

"I said, I'm not here to explain anything, so I don't need you to believe or not."

Itachi shook his head, his voice always calm, "I just wanted to make out the fact that the Uchiha, whether in Konoha or Kyoto City, are all members of the Fire Country. ”

"The relationship between Konoha and Uchiha is like a sword."

"No matter which of us wields this sword, the blade will hurt each other as well as ourselves."

He didn't even have any excuses.

But is Itachi justifying?

No, it's more like a threat than a justification.

There aren't many tourists in the quiet park.

The autumn wind was whistling, and I only felt the pressure of a mountain surging towards me from all directions.

In this regard, his expression became serious and serious, and he said solemnly: "The five generations do not want to have friction with the Uchiha, whether it is now or in the future. ”

Although he didn't know the purpose of Uchiha Itachi's words, it was clear that it was impossible for Konoha and Uchiha to clash with force right now.

But this also made Jiraiya's heart heavier and heavier.

"Of course, I know that, we know each other."

Itachi replied solemnly.

At the same time, he stood up from his chair, "Then what should be said, I have already made our attitude clear." ”

"As for the rest, I think judging right and wrong doesn't mean anything to us anymore."

"Hopefully, in the future, we will all be able to taste peace."

"I hope so."

Jiraiya also stood up, and then seemed to remember something, "By the way, your mother's original request, I may not be able to fulfill it." ”

Regarding Uchiha Mikoto's plan to meet Naruto, if the matter of the third generation has nothing to do with the Uchiha at all, Tsunade is now the fifth Hokage, and I don't think he will refuse this request.

But for now, forget it.

"Understood."

Itachi nodded understandingly, "In that case, then we'll take our leave." ”

Next to her, Artoria also said goodbye politely.

Zilai responded silently, standing still and not moving, just silently watching them leave.

The cool breeze slowly blew through his loose black robe, making his body chill a little.

So far, the performance of the Uchiha clan and Uchiha Itachi has given Jiraiya a feeling that after Uchiha leaves Konoha, he may leap into the dragon gate and soar into the sky.

But he wasn't sure if that was a good thing for Konoha or not.

It wasn't until the figures of the two Itachi were completely out of sight that Jiraiya silently turned around and returned to the Hokage Building.

The road is unimpeded, and during the period when Sarutobi Hiza was in power, what was the status of Mito Menyan and Koharu in this Hokage Building, and what status is he now, but ...... There is no real name yet.

"Of course, the position of Hokage's advisor will have to be re-elected."

"No, what's wrong with asking you to review the documents for me? I said yes, you two are going to help me together! ”

"Research funding? Yes, yes, yes, but you have to wait for the situation to stabilize first, don't you? Probably...... Next year. ”

"No money! Look at these ledgers for yourself, there really isn't much money to squander this year! ”

"Being a Hokage consultant, why did you delay your research?"

……

Returning to the door of the Hokage's office, Tsunade's angry voice came to Jiraiya's ears through the crack in the unclosed door.

There was an unconcealable annoyance in her tone, thinking that she had a big quarrel with Mito Menyan and Zhuan Koharu again, and planned to hold a meeting directly to remove them from their positions.

However, hearing the voices of the two of them, Jiraiya's originally serious face softened.

"Hey, hey, I don't want the Hokage advisor either, or you can bring Lujiu up."

"Isn't it reasonable for him to serve as a military advisor and serve as a Hokage's advisor?"

“…… Tsunade, don't throw over the files you haven't processed, it's so unlucky! ”

As he pushed the door in, a loud grinning voice rang out.

Looking at the Hokage's seat, the tired woman with a tired face, the heaviness and depression in her heart dissipated a little.

No matter what the future holds, let's carry it together for now.
