Chapter 86
Konoha Village, Hokage Building, and Sarutobi are listening to Anbu's report.

"What? Itachi killed Danzo's root?"

Sarutobi put down his pipe, received the information from Anbu, and frowned tightly.He is aware of Danzo's hostility towards Uchiha, and this hostility naturally affects Root.

Now that Konoha has achieved peace externally, and internally quelled the rebellion with horses, the conflict with Uchiha naturally emerged.

Root, too hasty!Sarutobi thought to himself, a good hunter would never reveal his intentions before launching the final blow to the prey, but it is good for Gen, for fear that Uchiha will not know their hostility.

Sarutobi guessed in his heart, maybe it was because he didn't know how to advance or retreat in front of Itachi, which caused such a disaster!Itachi is a very valuable pawn that Konoha broke into Uchiha's interior, and Sarutobi didn't want to give up until the last moment.More importantly, the daimyo appointed Uchiha as the guardian of the daimyo clan, and Uchiha had to politely refuse, otherwise Konoha would have a bad reputation to deal with the Uchiha clan.

In Gen's base, Danzo slammed his crutches on the ground, looking at Uchiha's direction with serious eyes.

"Itachi, you are so arrogant at such a young age, don't you know how Zhishui died?"

Danzo couldn't help but not be angry. After Shishui made a fuss, Danzo's power was severely weakened.Now every root ninja is a valuable manpower for him, and he dare not use it as cannon fodder like before.But this time it was good, Itachi killed four roots at once, and Danzo felt a little heartbroken.

Itachi killed Ne, and Uchiha became the guardian daimyo family. The news spread to the major families of Konoha. Some were worried, some were happy, and some didn't care.However, the estrangement between Uchiha and Konoha is not a day or two, and there are one or two things that Konoha doesn't like, it's not a big deal.

Secretly, the residents of Konoha are quietly watching the movements of Konoha's senior management and Uchiha.

Just when Konoha residents were talking about it, Itachi left Fire City and swaggered back to Konoha Village.

"Look, look, isn't that the Itachi of the Uchiha family?"

On the watchtower of Konoha Gate, a ninja turned the binoculars and shouted loudly.

"Really? Itachi is back?"

In the control room, Ebisu put down the little yellow book and ran out.As the saying goes, people who have carried guns together have a better relationship.After going through the judging war, maybe he doesn't have a good impression of Uchiha, but Ebisu likes Itachi very much.

From Ebisu's point of view, Itachi is just like Kakashi, a young talent who is not afraid of hard work or tiredness, and completes combat missions properly, so that people can rest assured that they will leave their backs to him.

After returning to Konoha for repairs, Ebisu returned to the village defense force and was responsible for the security of the village.During this time, he heard that Itachi had accepted the task of chasing down Kazuma, and he was still a little worried.

From a distance, Ebisu saw Itachi rushing towards the village, carrying a person in his hand.Take a closer look, it's not He Ma or someone else.

"This kid, he really completed the task of chasing and killing He Ma!"

Ebisu smacked her lips, greatly surprised, thinking that each of the juniors grew up so fast, and felt a little annoyed.

"Senior Ebisu, why didn't you get promoted after making meritorious service this time?"

In front of Konoha's gate, Itachi saw Ebisu leaning against the gate, and joked.

"Hey, I originally wanted to manage the bathhouse, but I was always opposed by the Konoha Women's Association." Ebisu spread her hands and said helplessly, "There are discussions and discussions, but I will still guard the gate."

Ebisu's favorite place is where there are many beautiful women.Although the Konoha gate is not comparable to the bathhouse, there are always a few good-looking people who come in and out.By searching for contraband, he was still able to eat a few bites of tofu.

"This is Kazuma?"

"Well, it's true, I took a lot of effort to catch it."

Itachi picked up the horse and handed it to Ebisu.Ebisu shrank back. He could kill, but he didn't like dead bodies, especially men.

"Okay, okay, I'll send two people to report to Hokage with you."

Ebisu quickly called two genin, and accompanied Itachi to the village.

"Look, and the horse is caught!"

"It's this Kazuma that makes Churiki run away!"

"Deer deserves it!"

"It's really cheap for him to die like this!"

Along the way, the residents of Konoha pointed at Kazuma's corpse.He Ma used his strength to run away and attack innocent civilians. The residents of Konoha hated him to death.

Seeing Kazuma being captured and brought back to Konoha with my own eyes is really satisfying, and itachi's image in the eyes of the villagers has also grown a lot.

"This is Fuyue's son Itachi, he is really not a man by appearance!" (Itachi can only hehe helplessly after hearing this.)
"It's not easy to kill twelve ninjas at such a young age!"

"The Uchiha clan is indeed a genius Sharingan clan!"

Itachi listened to their discussion and laughed without saying a word. The emotions of these people are as changeable as the weather, and they can't be counted on at critical moments.He went back to the village in a high-profile way, and walked across the street with his horse in the bustling area, just hoping that they would spread the news, and he did not expect at all that they would stand up to help Uchiha when he was in trouble.

Uchiha has always been contributing to Konoha, as long as the residents of Konoha have this awareness in their hearts.

On the top of the tall Hokage Building, Sarutobi watched Itachi walk through the crowd with his head upright, he laughed and said, "Young man, you still have some vanity!" Do you need such a big fanfare because of your credit?

The ninjas in Anbu will not publicize their achievements to the outside world.This time, Itachi was incorporated into Konoha's counter-insurgency unit, and he showed off eagerly after having made some contributions.

Back to Anbu, Aso was already waiting.After examining Kazuma's body, Aso's eyes flashed a trace of surprise, it turned out that the spiral pill ended Kazuma's life.

"You have completed your mission very well, however, there are some questions that my lord has to ask you personally."

Aso retreated aside, Sarutobi and Danzo walked in hand in hand.

Aso secretly nodded to Sarutobi, indicating that the corpse was indeed Kazuma.Sarutobi breathed a sigh of relief, guarding the twelve ninjas, and completely disappeared under the wheel of history.The rest of Lulu doesn't care about world affairs, Asma is his son, and the ninja forces in the Land of Fire are almost completely wiped out after this battle.

"Itachi, the task is well done."

Sarutobi sat on the chair with his hands behind his back, having a new assessment of Itachi's strength in his heart.Only with good strength can it be used.

"After Hema died, did you gain anything?"

Itachi took out a scroll, unsealed it, and took out Kazuma's Japanese-style tin stick, four-edged iron claw, sealing technique, unsealing technique, and several ninjutsu scrolls.These, Itachi has researched, and there is not much value in keeping them, so it is better to take them out to win Konoha's trust.

Aso took these things and placed them in front of Sarutobi, Sarutobi nodded in satisfaction.After Kazuma's death, Konoha's treasury has more collections.

At this time, Danzang suddenly spoke, with a bad tone: "Konoha must be rewarded for his meritorious deeds, and punished for his mistakes. But you killed the four roots for no reason, how can you explain this?"

"No reason?" Itachi snorted coldly, "They are going to forcibly take away the daimyo in full view, isn't that even tearing off daimyo's last fig leaf?"

Everyone is dead, Itachi will of course push all the faults to the other party.Although he has bad intentions, if you don't come to provoke me, how can I have any reason to fight.

"Ah..." Danzang choked for a moment, cursing in his heart, these boys, I don't respect the daimyo, it doesn't mean you can also disrespect the daimyo.

"Even if they don't respect the daimyo, you can't kill them. They are Konoha's ninja, and you are also Konoha's ninja. How can you kill each other?"

Danzo said gloomyly that he had to teach Itachi a lesson when he took off the hat of killing compatriots.

"I am Konoha's ninja, but I obey Hokage's orders. Anyone who damages Hokage's image and Konoha's interests, even if he is Konoha's ninja, is a traitor."

Itachi bowed to Hokage. The current Itachi has not separated from Anbu in identity. Even if there is any punishment, it is theoretically not Danzo's turn to intervene.

Sarutobi gave Danzo a blank look. After so many years, he still only thinks about the short-term interests when doing things, and doesn't know how to consider long-term interests.Next, to deal with the Uchiha clan, it is too late to win over Itachi, so why make the relationship so stiff.

"Itachi's merits and demerits, after deliberation by the elders, they will give an explanation!" Sarutobi stood up, took a puff of cigarette, and said, "Itachi, don't take it to heart, Danzo just has a straighter heart." , he doesn't have any malicious intentions. Go back first, I haven't been home for nearly a year, I'm afraid Fuyue misses him very much!"

Itachi exited Anbu respectfully, sneered in his heart, Danzo didn't have any malicious intentions, if Danzo didn't have any malicious intentions towards Uchiha, then the sun really came out from the west.
