Naruto's Struggle of Fate

Chapter 81 Chasing and killing horses ([-])

"Itachi, it's really hard for you to chase and kill Kazuma alone, but this is Anbu's order, and I can't tolerate it."

Asma handed over Anbu's order to Itachi, guessing in her heart the old man's intention of entrusting this task to Itachi.Asma knows a lot about Kazuma's information. The rabbit kicked the eagle when he was in a hurry. As the nominal leader of the twelve ninja, Kazuma has his own arrogance. If he is really cornered, I don't know what he will do. task.

"There is nothing embarrassing." Itachi took the order respectfully, "As Anbu, it is my duty to resolutely obey Hokage-sama's orders."

Itachi was also thinking about Sarutobi's intentions, why did he pass Anbu's order directly to Asma, could it be that after the counter-insurgency war, Asma would participate in Anbu's management?This is very possible. Sarutobi's intention of cultivating Asma is obvious, and it is not ruled out that there is a hidden action to arrange Asma's succession.

Asma's current strength and prestige have not yet reached the level of being able to inherit Hokage. After Sarutobi, only Tsunade and Jiraiya have the strength to compete for the position of Hokage.There are still a few years left, and Sarutobi intends to escort Asma with all his heart for a few more years. Even though the village lacks strong men and is somewhat stretched, Sarutobi did not send anyone to find Jiraiya and Tsunade back.

After receiving the order, Itachi seemed to be the same as usual, but he was a little preoccupied.The old people in Konoha are all old monsters who have survived several ninja wars. If you don't pay attention, you will fall into their trap.But Sarutobi's order was nothing to criticize. Kazuma was injured, and Itachi, as Anbu's ninja, went to chase and kill him, which seemed reasonable.

Itachi greeted the Konoha ninja he knew with a smile, and went straight to his tent.

Outside, Konoha's ninjas were packing up the camp. After receiving the news of the attack on the village last night, although everyone asked to fight, there was no trace of Kazuma, so they had to withdraw their troops and return to Konoha before making plans.Hokage's order was very clear. The Konoha counter-insurgency troops had been fighting outside for several months. They were physically and mentally exhausted and needed to return to the village to recuperate.

After receiving this order, many Konoha ninjas breathed a sigh of relief. The New Year is coming soon, and they are really not mentally prepared to spend the New Year on the front line.

Recruiting people all night and returning home with all their thoughts, this poem is the perfect way to describe them.

"Kakashi, have you received your order from Hokage-sama?"

Shortly after Itachi left, Asma called Kakashi.Kakashi rescued Asma and the others from Raimonlei and won more respect from them.

"Master Hokage ordered us to return to Konoha immediately. The Nine-Tails riot occurred again in the village. Other villages will definitely think that Konoha's Jinchuriki state is very unstable, and they are afraid that they will take the opportunity to cause chaos." Kakashi said thoughtfully.He knew in his heart that if he had the strongest tailed beast but couldn't control it effectively, those who coveted the power of the nine-tailed beast would have twisted their minds.

"Next, the main energy of the village will be used to prevent troubles from other ninja villages." There may also be small-scale conflicts, but Asma didn't say it in her heart.At this time, almost all counter-insurgency troops will be transferred back to the village, and internal forces will be enriched, just in case.

The village was worried that Itachi would send news to the family, and specially assigned Itachi the task of chasing and killing Hema, so that Itachi could not return to Konoha for at least several months.

In Anbe, Itachi has always been very disciplined, but after all, he has Uchiha's blood and is Fugaku's biological son. No matter how Sarutobi believes in his brainwashing skills, he dare not put all his chips on Itachi.

Utilize and prevent, this is the principle that Sarutobi has been in charge of Konoha's supreme power for so many years.

When Konoha's ninjas were packing up the camp and preparing to leave for the village, no one noticed that Itachi quietly left the main force and embarked on a journey to hunt down Kazuma.

"The sky is high and I can fly, and the sea is wide and I can swim." After leaving the counter-insurgency troops, without Konoha ninjas and Uchiha clansmen by his side, Itachi felt that he had breathed the air of freedom that he hadn't seen for a long time.He took off his ninja costume, put on civilian clothes, and strolled leisurely, not in a hurry.

Konoha wants to deal with the Uchiha clan, without Itachi as an internal response, Sarutobi and Danzo will not act rashly; in this case, Uchiha is relatively safe before he returns to the village.

"Your tears are weak and hurt..." Itachi clasped his hands on the back of his head, humming a song, and walked on the country road with big strides.When you meet a bullock cart stuck in a pit, you go up and push it; when you meet a lost grandmother, you send her home; when you meet a crying little girl, you take her to find her mother.

"Ninjas, live for missions. Whether it's an Anbu ninja or an ordinary ninja, if you don't accept the mission, you can't be called a ninja. Is this kind of life really what every ninja wants?"

In his spare time, Itachi chooses a grassy slope at will, or sits or lies down, watching the sun rise and set, and the water tide rise and fall.He is used to death and killing, which doesn't mean he can deprive others of their freedom to choose life.

"If one day I can decide the major policies of a ninja village, I must change the economic model of ninja training, performing tasks, and getting bonuses."

Itachi watched the sunset in the sky slowly fall below the horizon, and secretly made up his mind.Nagato may be right that the ninja world needs to change, but not by shedding more blood, but by fundamentally changing the way ninjas survive.

Ninjas are not machines for missions, but people who are stronger than ordinary people.

"Quack..." A crow called, "Itachi, you are now a farm boy."

The eight-foot crow thumped and quickly landed on the palm of Itachi's palm, rubbing its head against Itachi's palm, looking very intimate.After Itachi awakened the Kaleidoscope Sharingan, the strength of the eight-footed crow has been further evolved, and it is already able to speak.Don't look at him as a small guy, his fighting power is no less than that of a Jonin.

What made Itachi even more happy was the news from Eight Foot Crow that the two Phoenix Immortals, Heidanzhu and Huolizhu, recognized Itachi's strength and asked Itachi to go to Wutong Valley at the right time. There is a great opportunity waiting for him. with him.

Itachi thought about it, and when the dispute between Konoha and Uchiha was resolved, he went to Wutong Valley to reap his own opportunities.What could it be?Itachi muttered in his heart from time to time.

"Xiaoba, are you back?" Itachi stretched out his fingers, touched his head, and asked, "Did you find anything?"

"We are ambushed on all sides, who else can escape under our noses!" Eight Feet Crow raised his head and said proudly.Blinking his eyes, he looked at Itachi, as if implying, "Praise me!"

"Xiao Ba is really my clairvoyant and smooth ear!"

"What are Clairvoyance and Shunfeng Ears?"

"It's amazing to be able to see far and hear far!"

"Yes, my little eight is Itachi's clairvoyance and wind ear!"

Xiao Ba understood that Clairvoyance and Shunfeng Ear are very powerful things in Itachi's heart, so he fluttered his wings happily.

"Okay, okay, seeing how happy you are, tell me, where did my prey hide?"

"The country of the vortex."

"The country of the vortex?"
