"He wants me to take his brother as an apprentice?"

"He wants me to take his brother as an apprentice......"

"Hah...... This Uchiha family is greedy enough. ”

"This is the Book of Seals, and I am actually planning to ask for my Wet Bone Forest's Immortal Secret Technique."

“…… But such an obvious thing, does Uchiha Itachi think I can't think of it? ”

"Since he knew that I would think of it, and it was impossible for Uchiha Sasuke to leave his name on the psychic scroll of the Wet Bone Forest, why would he send his brother over?"

……

In the Hokage's office,

Just finished a meeting,

Tsunade stared at the desk in front of him with a blank expression and muttered to himself.

Thinking deeply, she couldn't help but scratch her hair.

This Uchiha Itachi must have a deep meaning when he acted like this.

Insisting that Uchiha worship herself as a teacher, then he coveted the secret art of immortals, which was the most obvious and probable reason she could think of.

And the deepest, perhaps, ......

The organization is now gathering many countries and forming signs of a general trend.

And although the Uchiha is in charge of the ninja world, he is understaffed and cannot take into account the simultaneous attack of multiple forces, so he plans to strengthen the contact with Konoha ?

But if that's the case, there's no need to send your brother over, right?

If you hide your own secrets, wouldn't you waste Uchiha Sasuke's life in vain?

After thinking about it, Tsunade really couldn't understand why Uchiha Itachi was willing to put his younger brother in Konoha.

How dare he?

When he came back to his senses, Tsunade only felt that there seemed to be fine sand in his palms.

While rubbing, she took a closer look, and it turned out to be a handful of golden hair under the light!

"Mute, come in and help me get these documents done!"

……

“…… I'm going to stay in Konoha?! ”

In the restaurant,

Inside the Weasel's room,

Zuosuke looked at his brother in disbelief and asked loudly, "Why?!" ”

"It's not...... You found me a master and left me alone in Konoha, didn't you discuss this matter with me in advance?! ”

"Father and mother agreed?"

His voice was sharpened by the increase in pitch.

Unbelievable, my brother and a few of them left together to have a meeting, and when they came back, they had a master called 'Tsunade'?

Even, I have to stay in Konoha?

"Because it's not a private matter, it's a public matter."

Itachi looked at Zuosuke helplessly, "This is actually a task, a task that is very important for the family. ”

"I originally thought that as my younger brother, you should be happy to dedicate yourself to the Uchiha, and be happy to have the opportunity to temper yourself, so I helped you inherit it in advance."

"But now it seems...... Is it that I am wrong, so you don't want to? ”

As he spoke, he shifted his gaze to the Uchiha Ryu and the others who were sitting next to him, "It looks like we need to find a suitable candidate in the clan again to complete this difficult and great task." ”

"You say...... How about that kid Uchiha Han? ”

"That kid is smart, sensible, and responsible, and he will definitely be willing to complete this task for the family."

'This ...... Is it still possible to discuss and change the apprenticeship? ’

In this regard, although Uchiha Ryu and Uchiha Hazuki were confused in their hearts, they did not show their expressions.

Artoria, on the other hand, was completely accustomed to it.

"Ren...... Task? ”

Zuo Suke's face was full of incredulity, and his voice, which had become sharp because of the increased pitch, slowed down a little, "What task?" ”

Itachi replied seriously, "Sasuke, you are my only brother. ”

"Although I am reluctant, you have always told me that you want to be as good as my father and me."

"But now the Uchiha's development strategy is stable and restrained, and there is almost no chance of sharpening the way to send his clansmen out on assassination missions and participate in wars like before."

"But if you don't listen to what is going on outside the window and concentrate on hiding in the clan to cultivate, then you will not be able to become a qualified ninja like your father and me."

"So instead of waiting for you to regret it in the future, I decided to endure the pain and helped you plan an opportunity to carry out this mission, giving you a chance to sharpen yourself."

Yes?

Zuo Suke's look of disbelief just now has completely faded, and his expression is full of hesitation, "I...... It's not that I'm unwilling. ”

"Brother, can you tell me what the task is first?"

"Worship the fifth generation Hokage as a teacher, this is the mission?"

Speaking of this, he seemed to think of something, and he became excited, "Could it be that the clan plans to attack Konoha Village?" ”

"I remember reading in the book that the inheritance system of Konoha Hokage mostly starts with the relationship between master and apprentice."

"Tsunade is the fifth Hokage of Konoha, if it is her disciple, then will I also have a chance to run for the sixth Hokage in the future?"

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense.

Although the Uchiha has strength now, because of his face and arrogance, he disdains to do those things that rob power.

But if he can become Tsunade's apprentice, then competing for the Hokage is a natural thing.

And Uchiha Ryu and Uchiha Hazuki, who were still holding back the smile in their hearts, looked at Zuosuke in surprise, and then set their eyes on Itachi.

'Itachi doesn't really have that in mind, does it?' ’

'If that's the case, is Uchiha Sasuke going to compete with Naruto Naruto? ’

But in the previous meeting, Itachi's concern for Naruto didn't seem to be fake. ’

They hadn't thought about it in that direction.

"It's just a Hokage, there's no need to be so solemn."

"If I really have an interest in Konoha, I will never be stingy with force because of things like face and etiquette."

"Zuosuke, I remember I once told you that only the improvement of one's own strength is the most important, and the land and prestige are vain things, if they have no effect on strength or weakness, they have no meaning."

But Itachi shook his head and explained softly.

Even in this regard, during his tenure as the patriarch, he also added relevant ideas and examples to the education of the clan, influencing the clansmen's fame and fortune and improving their perseverance in the pursuit of their own strength.

"Compared to the position of the Hokage, the more precious treasures in this Konoha Village are the knowledge that those Konoha ninjas have spent more than a dozen or even decades researching."

"Knowledge is always the most precious treasure."

"I hope that after you become Tsunade's apprentice, you can cultivate well, get her approval, and get her most precious knowledge, this is your task."

Then, he gave a detailed account of the task to Sasuke.

"Get her knowledge?"

Zuosuke's eyes were full of confusion.

"Yes, knowledge."

Itachi's expression was serious, "Tsunade, before he served as Hokage, he was a well-known figure in the ninja world. ”

"She's a medical ninja on the surface."

"But actually, a medical ninja ......"

He highlighted Tsunade's past achievements, and then talked about the secret art she was good at.

Among its contents, it is mixed with the grandfather of Tsunade, that is, the past of the Thousand Hands Pillar.

"You say, the same bloodline of the Thousand Hands Clan, why was the Thousand Hands Pillar able to distinguish it from other clansmen back then and stand out?"

"He may be smart enough, he may be extremely talented, then the secret techniques developed by his intelligence and talent must also be based on his own foundation."

"Then as the granddaughter of the Thousand Hands Pillar, does the knowledge of the five generations of Hokage have the secret of the Thousand Hands Pillar's fame back then?"

Itachi didn't say much, every sentence was like an inquiry, only half-understood.

Zuosuke is a smart child, and some things are explained too clearly, but they are easy to be recognized.

So the best way, of course, is to wait for him to guess the answer himself.

There is always no mistake in the answer that he guesses, at least, he himself will not think that there is a mistake in a short period of time.
