Chapter 18 Kid, Are You Here to Take My Life Too?
Although Uchiha Itachi is only 11 years old this year and is just a newcomer to ANBU, he has already been reused by Hiruzen Sarutobi in ANBU.
Not only because he is young and powerful.
It's even more because he is Uchiha Fugaku's son.
The identity is too special!
Itachi and Kakashi knew each other. When they were not performing tasks, they usually looked after Sarutobi Hiruzen.
That's why.
Uchiha Itachi called Kakashi "Kakashi-senpai" as soon as he came here. He was really confused and didn't quite understand what Kakashi meant by releasing Earth Release here.
Subsequently.
Itachi noticed a tall figure next to Kakashi, but because the figure was too tall, he immediately thought they were two telephone poles stuck in the ground.
Upon closer inspection, I realized they were human legs.
When I looked up, I realized it was a person.
This is……
hiss!
It's the "giant" that Hokage-sama mentioned!
"Ahem! Itachi, you came just in time." Kakashi looked like nothing was wrong. He walked over and patted Itachi on the shoulder: "There happens to be something here that I need your help with."
"Senior, I'm wearing an ANBU mask..." Itachi whispered, "Don't call me by my name."
"Oh! Itachi, please help me patch up the ground. I'll fill the ground with Earth Release, and you can dry the mud with Fire Release." Kakashi responded, but turned around and forgot about Itachi. remind.
Uchiha Itachi: "..."
Take a deep breath.
Itachi asked: "Kakashi-senpai, I took orders from Lord Hokage to see what is going on here."
He looked at the devastation around him.
Looked at the giant again.
His face was solemn.
He asked in a low voice: "Did there...was there a fight here? Senior Kakashi, did you fight that giant?"
"Don't talk nonsense, it's not me, it's the roots."
Kakashi once again immediately distanced himself from the relationship.
"Genbu?" Itachi was stunned: "I didn't see anyone from Genbu?"
"It's over there!" Kakashi pointed to the sewer. He opened his dead fish eyes and said in a calm tone: "Go in and search inside. You might be able to find their minced meat or pieces of their masks."
Uchiha Itachi: "!!!"
Although Kakashi said it a bit tactfully, Uchiha Itachi was not a fool. He immediately heard that all the ninjas in the root were dead!
Death at the hands of giants!
moment.
His hand reached for the ninja sword, but was quickly held down by Kakashi. Under Uchiha Itachi's puzzled gaze, Kakashi said: "The Roots acted without permission, without Hokage-sama's instructions, and their attack almost affected Naruto."
"But he killed the Konoha ninja!" Uchiha Itachi didn't quite understand, why did Kakashi-senpai just watch the root ninja die?
Kakashi's dead fish eyes expression showed no emotion.
But he kept holding Uchiha Itachi's hand.
Kakashi said to Itachi: "Do not conflict with Whitebeard without Lord Hokage's order. Uchiha Itachi, you are a member of the Anbu. The death of someone from the Root has nothing to do with you."
"They acted without the Hokage's orders. They died because of this and it has nothing to do with us in Konoha. I see that you are still a newcomer, so I would like to remind you a little."
If it were normal times.
Kakashi was too lazy to say so much. What did Itachi Uchiha want to do, was none of his business?
but.
Tonight is different!
Uchiha Itachi and him were both ANBU members. Once Uchiha Itachi attacked Whitebeard, Kakashi really couldn't stand by and would probably have to assist Uchiha Itachi in dealing with Whitebeard.
Although he never actually fought against Whitebeard.
But after seeing Whitebeard take action several times with his own eyes.
Kakashi thinks...
It's better not to mess with this person.
They are not Konoha rebels, it is not a war period, there is no order from the Sandaime Hokage, and the two sides have no revenge for killing their father.
How much is your monthly salary?
Just try your best?
"Gula la la!" Whitebeard looked at Uchiha Itachi with great interest: "You two brats are whispering a bit loudly! Is it another masked brat? Are you coming to take my life too?"
"No, he just came to see what happened."
Kakashi pulled Uchiha Itachi aside.
He explained to Whitebeard: "We don't belong to the same department as the dozen or so people before us."
Uchiha Itachi said nothing.
He could see that Kakashi-senpai was very afraid of this giant, which made him feel quite incredible. Itachi felt that he knew quite well who Kakashi-senpai was.
An existence that can make Kakashi-senpai fearful.
Definitely a dangerous person!
then.
Uchiha Itachi, who was forcibly held down by Kakashi, could only clean up the area with Kakashi.
Then, he didn't stay here long.
Go directly back to the Hokage Building.
…
Uchiha Itachi didn't take the usual route. He didn't go through the main entrance, but got in through the window of the Hokage's office.
He saw the Sandaime Hokage smoking a cigarette.
The entire office was filled with smoke.
"Itachi, why are you back so late?" Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and said, "It's been almost half an hour since you were there. Konoha isn't that big, so it doesn't take that long to go back and forth, right? What kind of trouble did you encounter? What happened? Is Naruto okay?"
"Hokage-sama." Faced with a series of questions from Hiruzen Sarutobi, Uchiha Itachi reported truthfully: "The jinchūriki is in good condition, but something unexpected did happen."
He told all the information he got from Kakashi. Including but not limited to Root's assassination of Whitebeard, and how Whitebeard dealt with the Root ninja forcefully.
Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned even more.
There is white light in the fist, and a dozen root ninjas can be killed instantly with one punch? Why does it sound so much like Onoki's Dust Release? But if you look carefully, it doesn't seem like Chen Dun.
Is it a special Muji Ninjutsu?
Similar to Rasengan? !
Whitebeard's powerful strength was even higher in Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind.
It's getting more and more difficult for him.
besides……
"... Danzo!" Sarutobi Hiruzen had a huge headache: "He actually passed me and directly ordered the roots to attack Whitebeard. Does he still have me, the Hokage, in his eyes?"
The key is.
Danzo was too arrogant, thinking that this was Konoha's home ground and that sending an assassination team could kill an outsider.
As a result, the entire assassination team was wiped out.
There was also a big fuss.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little annoyed. He didn't like the feeling of not being under his control, even if that person was also a high-level official in Konoha. Moreover, Danzo's men almost hurt Naruto. What if the Nine-Tailed Beast is released?
Who will wipe the butt?
"Danzo is becoming more and more dishonest." Sarutobi Hiruzen knew his old friend's ambition: "It seems that some of the authority of the root can be slightly restricted and narrowed."
Uchiha Itachi pretended not to hear this kind of game between high-level officials.
But I didn't expect it.
Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly asked him: "Itachi, what do you think of the recent unusual behavior of the Uchiha clan?"
Uchiha Itachi was slightly shocked.
He lowered his head and said: "The Uchiha clan..."
Before he finished speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen interrupted: "I won't make things difficult for you. If the matter can be handled through negotiation, there is no need to use drastic measures."
He spoke earnestly: "Itachi, the future of Uchiha is in the hands of young people like you and Shisui."
"Don't be influenced by those people."
Sarutobi Hiruzen had something to say.
"Yes, Hokage-sama!"
