Konoha's Thief Hand

Chapter 658

Uncertain things, there are opportunities to try to manipulate, but Sarutobi Hiruzen’s selection is undoubtedly the most difficult.

“Just like Elder Homura said, Cloud Shinobi’s behavior is full of unpredictability.” Tsunade looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and said directly: “Teacher, to be honest, I don’t think your tolerance can make Cloud Shinobi retreat or repel. Jackals have always been powerful forces.”

“Perhaps so, consider it the last time I will be willful before retiring.” Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head.

Hearing these words, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura looked at each other, and they could see the surprise in each other’s eyes.

“Willful? This kind of vocabulary has never appeared in your body.” Mitokado Homura sighed with emotion, “Since you took the name of Hokage in that forest.”

“So, you are not self-willed this time.” Utatane Koharu said in a positive tone. “But with regard to the results, my opinion is the same as Tsunade.”

Tsunade nodded slightly, then looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and said, “Teacher, I know your philosophy, but when it comes to Cloud Shinobi Village, I have to make alternative plans for this matter.”

“I understand.” Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed helplessly.

“Yeah.” Tsunade breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the other participants and said, “Cloud Shinobi has always been a hardliner in the ninja world, so now Konoha needs someone who is equally strong to fight Cloud Shinobi. I think you are here. There is nothing more qualified for this qualification than Xia Shu.”

Hearing Tsunade’s suggestion, Mitokado Homura glanced at Utatane Koharu and said, “Hokage-sama, is Natsuki lacking in prestige? And when it comes to hardliners, Elder Koharu is not too much.”

Utatane Koharu raised his eyebrows and glanced at his old partner, then glanced at the young man sitting at the bottom. Before Tsunade could speak, he waved his hand: “Natsuki’s reputation may not be loud enough, but the successor to Danzo is even Cloud Shinobi. Don’t dare to despise it. As for me…I’m old, it’s time to make way for the younger generation.”

Hearing the sigh of emotion in her tone, Mitokado Homura opened his mouth, and at the same time subconsciously looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen over the conference table, but the other party did not give him any response, including the look in his eyes, so he had to shake his head and sighed. Then closed his mouth.

Being able to become a high-level villager may not have achieved any outstanding results, but none of them are politically insensitive.

After this incident, Sarutobi Hiruzen retires, and the situation among Konoha’s senior leaders will change from the previous three-on-two to a two-on-two situation, and the one who left the original’three’ is the most important one. So what will happen next is self-evident.

So in this silent acquiescence, Natsuki became the person who represented Konoha’s tough side, and at the same time, the power of Konoha Village was further passed down in the process.

The event was discussed and the meeting ended. However, although Sarutobi Hiruzen’s suggestion was approved, Cloud Shinobi’s such a big move still requires close attention. After all, reasoning is only a reasonable analysis and inference under known conditions. In reality But there are too many unknown and even unexpected factors that will affect the real results.

After confirming with Tsunade in the Hokage building that Anbu was sent to investigate the real situation of Yunokuni, Natsuki returned to the root base. At this time, an old-fashioned teenager had been waiting in the base for a long time.

“Master Xia Shu.” The young man cried respectfully but calmly when he saw the people walking by.

“What happened last night was very sudden, but the coping ability you showed was amazing. In your body, I seem to see Hatake Kakashi of the past.” Natsuki sat down on the high seat and looked down at the boy. , His slightly narrowed eyes sparkled, “So your Anbu training is ahead of schedule. Do you have any comments on this, Uchiha Itachi?”

“No.” The boy, Uchiha Itachi, still said calmly at the moment.

“Very good.” Xia Shu nodded with satisfaction. “There has never been a member of Uchiha in Anbu before. I hope you can break this record and become a bridge between Uchiha and the village. Well, you can go back with this sentence. Talk to your father.”

“Yes.” Uchiha Itachi looked up at the other person in a little surprise, then dropped his head again.

“Go get ready. Training will officially start tomorrow. In the next period of time, you will have no chance to go home unless you fail the training.” Xia Shu waved.

“Itachi, retire.” Uchiha Itachi gave a small salute, then turned and left.

Watching Uchiha Itachi’s back walk out of here, Xia Shu tilted her head and stretched out her hand to stroke her eyebrows, a touch of golden light lit up on her fingertips, and then disappeared again, as if it had never existed before.

In the center of the Uchiha tribe, in the newly repaired and damaged yard, a child sat there bored.

At this moment, he heard the sound of the courtyard door pushing open, and his neck stretched and his eyes lit up. The boring breath of his whole body was instantly swept away, and he jumped up and rushed towards the boy who walked in through the courtyard door.

“Brother, you are back!” Little Sasuke hugged Itachi with a smile on his face, and looked up and looked forward, “Teach me shuriken, brother!”

“No, I have something to tell my father now.” There was a gentle smile on the face of the young Itachi young man, and he slightly bent over and pointed his finger on his brother’s forehead, apologizing: “Forgive me, Sasuke, next time there will be When I have the opportunity, I will show you the tricks I learned from Brother Shisui.”

“Oh! Poke my forehead again, it hurts.” Little Sasuke pouted and exclaimed.

At this time, Uchiha Fugaku was walking out of the house and saw a gentleness in the eyes of the brothers in the yard.

“Itachi, is it all going well?” Seeing Itachi had spotted him, he asked with a serious face.

“Father.” Hearing Fugaku’s voice, Sasuke turned around quickly, his eyes became a little nervous.

But he soon discovered that his father’s focus was on his elder brother, which made him relieved, and he couldn’t help but look at his elder brother with envy and jealousy.

When I go to ninja school, I must be as good as my brother. When that happens, my father will say that to me, right?

Children’s ideas are usually ignored by adults, just as children cannot understand the problems that adults need to face.

“Very well, Natsuki-sama asked me to go there for training tomorrow.” At this point, Uchiha Itachi stopped talking.

Perceiving this, Fugaku stunned for a moment, then turned and walked into the house, and then his voice came: “Follow me, Itachi.”

Uchiha Itachi responded, smiled at the younger brother beside him, and walked towards the back.

The little Sasuke who stayed in place pouted, his face was dissatisfied, and as a young man, he couldn’t hear the heaviness in his father’s plain voice, and he was still immersed in his own little emotions.
