Konoha: Doing good deeds can make you stronger

Chapter 138 Undercurrent
It was another sunny day, and Konoha once again sent a three-person team against "Oshemaru", but this time the three people have changed a lot from before.

"We are about to reach the border of Muye Village, Xiaohang, you should go to the front and scout around to see if there is any movement of the enemy."

"Okay, teacher."

The calm and calm voice came from Shikahisa Nara. At this time, the man was holding a map, observing the address marked on the map based on the information provided by the informant. After receiving the order from the other party, Marutani Kou accelerated his pace. He rushed forward first, and disappeared in Nara Shikoku's sight after a while.

"This kind of weather is suitable for sports!"

Behind Nara Shikahisa suddenly came an energetic voice.

"Kaishang Shinobi, we are about to go to the chaotic area, you can't exercise now."

That's right, the owner of the voice is Marutani Koko's old acquaintance Maite Kai.

While stretching his limbs, Metkay showed a happy expression under the bright sun.

"I know, I know, don't worry, Squad Leader Shikamaru, I'm not an idiot who only knows how to exercise."

Maitekai gave a thumbs up, showing his white teeth.

"That's good."

Marutani Koko did not expect that the two jounin who went out of the village with him this time to perform the task together, and the status of the two in the village are not low, one is Konoha, who is second to none in terms of IQ The brain is Nara Shikahisa, and the other is the blue beast Maitkai who is unique in physical skills. Konoha's betting chip this time is really scary.

Judging from the two outstanding ninjas sent by Konoha, this time the village must have obtained reliable information about Orochimaru. You must know that last time the village only sent Kakashi and a Jōnin plus The combination of two new stars is on, but it is far inferior to the current team.

Under the command of Nara Shikahisa, Marutani Kou successfully explored the road ahead, and checked the suspicious places where people could hide, and found no abnormalities.

"Okay, let's rest for a while."

After a few hours of travel, the three of them passed a small hillside. The hillside is located in an excellent location, which happens to be the highest place nearby. Nara Shikahisa took into consideration the physical condition of Marutani Kokoro and the possible problems that he might encounter. After the danger, he planned to rest on the spot. After he issued the order, Maitekai offered to go nearby to investigate.

Shikahisa Nara pondered in his mind for a while. Although separation was not the safest way, he still agreed to Maitekai's proposal for the smooth operation and elimination of possible dangers.

"Yes, I noticed that there is a small forest about five kilometers away from us in the north. Pay more attention when you investigate. If you find anything unusual, you must first report the news to me before taking action."

"I see."

Maitekai nodded, and disappeared in the same place in an instant.

"Teacher, can I ask you a question?"

As soon as Maitekai left, Marutani Kokura secretly sat beside Nara Shikahisa, planning to ask a question during the rest time.

This question has been bothering him for a whole day, and he really doesn't understand why Itachi didn't participate in this mission together.

Marutani can understand why Kakashi can't come.

As a senior member of the Konoha Anbe organization, almost all of Kakashi's work is directly issued by Hiruza Sarutobi, coupled with his strong strength and flexible mind, it can be said that he is one of the most trusted Anbu of Hiruza Sarutobi. Then it is normal for him not to leave the village to perform tasks because he is busy with tasks, and his role in the team can also be replaced by Nara Shikahisa with superior IQ and Mitekai with extremely strong combat power.

But the weasel is different.

Itachi, like himself, was also a member of the last mission team, and he was much stronger than himself in terms of strength, IQ, and status in the village. It stands to reason that he should also be a part of this mission, let alone The relationship between Itachi and himself is so good. After knowing that he will participate in it, there is a high probability that Itachi will be willing to participate, but why is there no place for him this time?
Konoha's mission team can only be fixed to three people, isn't it good to have a four-person team?
And a few days before his departure, Marutani Koko himself stayed with each other every day, how could Itachi have no time?

Kakashi, on the other hand, had indeed not seen anyone for a long time.

But before Marutani Kou officially asked, Nara Shikahisa seemed to have read through the boy's mind, and directly said the question Marutani Kou wanted to ask.

"I guess you want to ask about Itachi."

"Uh, yes, the teacher's ability to read people's hearts is really powerful, and he deserves to be the one who caught up with the teacher's wife."

Nara Shika took a long, deep breath.

"The current situation in the village is a bit chaotic."

"Chaos? Why didn't I feel it?" Marutani Hang scratched his hair in doubt. "Everything is normal, isn't it?"

Nara Shikahisa's face darkened again.

"Nonsense, you know how to challenge other Chunin every day during this time, have you paid attention to other things?"

"Uh," Marutani Kou, who had been taught a lesson, hesitated for a long time, and finally realized that he hadn't paid attention to other things, and said embarrassingly, "Isn't this trying to improve, so let's not talk about it, so what happened in the village recently? something wrong?"

"Hey."

Nara Shikahisa's expression slowly became serious again, and only then did he say the important information.

"Someone in the upper echelon of Konoha is very displeased with the recent behavior of members of the Uchiha clan joining Anbu and other institutions frequently."

"Oh?" No, Marutani Hang was taken aback, "But as far as I know, hasn't the Uchiha clan become easier to get along with recently than before? Shouldn't this be a good thing?"

Under Itachi's active performance, many Uchiha people began to change slowly, gradually let go of their pride in the past, and worked hard to adapt to the lives of most people. The minorities took up positions in various grassroots positions in the village. Compared with before, such Uchiha clans are easier to get along with, and the villagers' evaluation of them has also improved a lot.

"Having said that, some high-level people think that the Uchiha clan is buying people's hearts," Nara Shikahisa shook his head helplessly. From his bored expression, it can be seen that he also feels very disgusted by this, "Said This kind of behavior is challenging the authority of Hokage, and it must be suppressed."

Marutani Koko was completely dumbfounded.

"Suppression? Is it necessary? Not at all! Uchiha and the others didn't do anything that harmed the interests of the village. Even if their intentions were impure, they shouldn't be suppressed arbitrarily with groundless excuses. This is too outrageous."

Isn't this tricky and honest?

Due to the close relationship with Itachi, Marutani Koko substituting himself into the position of the Uchiha clan unconsciously, no, strictly speaking, it should be an individual who would find such a proposal very strange.

"Hey," Nara Shikahisa just sighed at this, "Everyone thinks such a proposal is very unreasonable, and Hokage is no exception, so in the end everyone did not approve such a proposal."

"Okay!" Marutani Koko slapped his thigh excitedly after hearing this, "As expected of the third generation of adults, he is indeed a man I admire!"

"."

"But, since the third generation of adults did not suppress the Uchiha clan, why didn't Itachi leave the village? Is there any relationship between the two?"

Marutani Hang's problem has not yet been resolved, so he asked suspiciously.
