Blacksmith From Hokage

Chapter 36

“It’s not you!?” Sarutobi was startled, and then reacted, “You are here to hold me down and not let me go to the rescue?”

Sarutobi was strange at first.

Since Itachi had already started acting on his own terms, there was no need to talk to him so much.

But now he understands that the reason Itachi came to tell him so much is to hold him back.

Actively expose Mangekyō Sharingan, expose illusions like Tsukuyomi…

Its essence is to show power.

Itachi didn’t want to fight him, but he had to drag him, so he explained the ins and outs of the whole plan and revealed part of his hole cards.

Itachi hopes that he can give up Danzo for the sake of the overall situation, and also hopes that some of the power he has shown can make him retreat.

Sure enough, Itachi confirmed his guess in the next second.

“Master Hokage, you are the person I respect the most. Neither the past nor the present has changed, so I don’t want to fight with you.”

With that, the surrounding space was distorted and then shattered.

Itachi canceled Tsukuyomi, but the snow-patterned Mangekyō was full of fighting spirit, “Hokage-sama, I don’t know if I can beat you, but if I just delay the time, I think I can still do it.”

“…”

Sarutobi was silent again.

He leaned on the back of the chair, embracing his arms, with a pipe in his mouth, eyes drooping, and staring at the table closely.

He was thinking.

He has never played against Mangekyō, but Konoha has a lot of information about Mangekyō, and he is also very aware of Itachi’s strength.

Even without Sharingan, his strength can squeeze into the ranks of Jōnin, with the assistance of Sharingan, he is also one of the best players among Jōnin.

Sarutobi doesn’t know how much Mangekyō will bring to Itachi, but even without Mangekyō, Itachi can delay for a while.

And today is the Spring Festival, and most ninjas are on holiday.

Not many ninjas rushed to hear the sound of fighting.

Only when those ninjas who are on holiday arrive, can they get rid of Itachi’s entanglement.

But during this time, can Danzo hold on?

Sarutobi’s brain is spinning fast.

The roots are different from other ninjas. They are all people who have no destination. They only have a rest period after performing their tasks.

Therefore, the roots are now as tightly guarded as usual.

It is almost impossible to assassinate Danzo at the root, even with Itachi providing information.

But since Itachi had made such a plan, it proved that he was sure to kill Danzo.

Sarutobi knows Itachi very well, especially his calm personality and brain, and his plans will hardly fail.

In other words, the key is whether Danzo can support himself.

Thinking of this, Sarutobi’s eyes condensed and he stood up abruptly.

Itachi supported on the ground with one hand, and the whole person flew back, and the black shadow chased after a step, and kept zooming in his sight.

It’s Hokage’s robe.

As Konoha Hokage, how could Sarutobi not know how to fight Sharingan, the moment he got up, he tore off his robe and threw it at Itachi.

The robe blocked the view, and Sarutobi followed closely behind.

Jumped onto the desk and stepped on with both knees bent.

“boom!”

The old man in tight armor exploded with great power like a great ape, and the whole person rushed towards the ferret like a cannonball.

“Tear!”

Itachi drew the long knife behind him, and cut off the robe with a slash.

But Sarutobi came closer, his body rotated, and a flying kick hit Itachi’s chest accurately.

“puff!”

With long legs kicking through his chest, Itachi turned into several crows flying around, spinning on top of Sarutobi’s head.

At the same time, the surrounding environment changed again and became a dilapidated and withered wasteland, and the dim sunset was replaced by the huge slowly rotating Sharingan.

“Illusory, when?”

Sarutobi looked around vigilantly. Itachi’s figure was condensed not far away, but it was not solid, like a remnant flag blowing in the wind, which would go away with the wind at any time.

“In the beginning.” Itachi said faintly, “I know Hokage-sama will not give up Danzo, so I used another illusion technique when disarming Tsukuyomi.”

“Then why don’t you just knock me down with Tsukuyomi?” Sarutobi stared closely at Itachi’s eyes, trying to see something in it.

It’s just that he was disappointed.

From the beginning of the battle, Itachi’s eyes were flat as water from beginning to end, and there was no way to see anything from it.

“I don’t want to hurt Master Hokage.” Itachi said faintly, “I said before. I made two-handed preparations. This is an action that Konoha is absolutely impossible to prevent at this time.”

“Konoha…”

Sarutobi’s heart moved, and he noticed that Itachi’s rhetoric was somewhat different.

Not just referring to him Sarutobi, but referring to Konoha as a whole…

Is Itachi too arrogant, or is there something I don’t know?

“Yes, it’s Konoha.”

Seeing through what Sarutobi was thinking, Itachi continued: “The person who cooperated with me to kill Danzo, currently no one in Konoha can stop him. Even if you go by, Hokage-sama, you will just add another life.”

“…”

Sarutobi was shocked and speechless.

At first, he was thinking that Itachi was bluffing.

But then I thought about it, the person who can sneak into the roots to assassinate Danzo alone must have a strong ability to do it.

Then, the possibility that that person is stronger than he imagined is not without.

“Who is that person?” Sarutobi was furious.

“He calls himself ‘Madara’.”

“Madara?” Sarutobi was startled, and subconsciously asked, “Which Madara?”

“Uchiha Madara.”

“what!?”

“He was the one who controlled Nine Tails to attack Konoha six years ago. I found his traces when I was investigating the time when Nine Tails attacked the village.”

Itachi looked at Sarutobi faintly, and said, “That guy is very strong, even if he is seriously injured, he is much stronger than me, and he has a keen eye on Konoha. I want to destroy Danzo, which is just what he wants, so…”

“Wait, isn’t Madara dead?” Sarutobi interrupted Itachi, staring at him tightly.

Uchiha Madara.

What this name means, he, an old man who has survived from Konohajian Village, has the most say.

Itachi was startled, and then asked: “Do you want to listen to me explain it slowly? I don’t care, but Danzo…”

“I can’t take care of so much now, if it’s him, just…”

“Okay, I understand.” Itachi closed his eyes slowly, and then opened them, “I will slowly tell you everything about Uchiha Madara, and then you will understand why I should leave as a traitor NS.”

…

Konoha’s dark tide is surging, and the villagers don’t know it.

They are wearing new kimonos and happily playing on the street with their family and friends.

Kuroyoshi also followed Naruto into it.

“Kurayoshi, take a look. There is a balloon playing activity ahead. As long as you break more than 10 balloons with a shuriken, you can get rewards. Let’s go!”

Just coming out of Kabuto Goldfish’s stall, Naruto took Kuraki and couldn’t wait to walk to another stall surrounded by many people in the distance.
