Naruto Gourd has everything

Ministry of Security.

Throwing the paper on the table, Fugaku looked at his son standing in front of him.

Young body, tender face...

But Fugaku, who knew his son well, knew that this young body contained potential that surpassed his own.

"Where did this come from?"

Fugaku asked in a deep voice.

Even though he was talking to his son, he had a serious face. As the captain of the Guard, he must maintain dignity at all times.

"I found it in my desk when I was at school."

After Itachi finished speaking, images of each of his classmates flashed through his mind, trying to find out who gave them the paper.

But in the end he shook his head and said, "I don't know who put it in the desk."

Fugaku folded his arms and fell into thought.

Although the Ninja School is one of the three major institutions in Konoha, it is not a secret place after all, and is usually not guarded by ninjas.

During the period after school and before going to school, it is too easy to put a paper letter into a student's desk.

"Father……"

See Fugaku looking up. Itachi said, "I don't think this is a prank by a classmate."

"I'm sure of that too."

After Fugaku finished speaking, he turned and looked out the window.

Looking at the villagers coming and going on the street, I couldn't help but sigh, "Just because I was sure it wasn't a prank, the matter became more serious."

There is a line written on this piece of paper.

'In order to develop ninjutsu, Orochimaru used the bodies of villagers for human experiments. ’

The content on this paper...if it is a prank, it is too ignorant. It can only be a child's prank.

But Orochimaru...

Although everyone who has come into contact with him thinks this guy is dangerous and not like a human being. One cannot deny his contribution to Konoha...

Known as one of the legendary three ninjas, he is an unyielding hero in the eyes of children.

Such a character... In Konoha, no child would play such a prank with his name.

So this is not a prank.

But if it’s not a prank, is it true?

Disciple of the Third Hokage, one of the legendary Sannin, a strong competitor of the Fourth Hokage, the hero of Konoha...

Would such a person really do such a thing?

can.

After thinking about it, Fugaku came to this answer.

Putting aside Orochimaru's identities, considering his personal character, it is possible for him to do such a thing.

But it is only possible, and the possibility is very small.

No matter how malicious Fugaku is towards Orochimaru, he cannot ignore his status in Konoha...

Having such a status and doing such a thing is definitely not worth the gain.

Therefore, this may also be a conspiracy.

About half a year after the Nine-Tails Rebellion, the situation in Konoha has not yet stabilized. If this is a alienation plot by enemy spies or people in the village who reject Uchiha...

That rash action will inevitably cause further turmoil within Konoha.

Especially their Uchiha...

He was suspected because of the Nine-Tails Rebellion. If he rushes out at this time and causes a bigger misunderstanding, it will further aggravate the conflict between the village and the family.

However, even if he knew it was a conspiracy, he had to step on it.

The successive cases of missing children have attracted widespread attention and caused panic among the villagers. He had a lot of complaints about Uchiha, who was in the security department, not being able to solve the case early and catch the murderer.

Fugaku knew that Uchiha had a bad reputation in the village. If nothing is done about this matter, the reputation will be further damaged.

On the contrary, catching the murderer when everyone is panicking gives the villagers a great sense of security. Uchiha's reputation in Konoha will improve.

Everything depends on how it works.

A little bit of carelessness is irreversible.

After Fugaku figured out everything inside, he said to Itachi: "You go back to school! I will handle this matter."

"Ok!"

Itachi nodded. Then he hesitated for a while and asked, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

He still doesn't know the relationship between his family and the village, and he doesn't think as far as Fugaku does.

But looking at the sad look on his always confident father's face, he also knew that the matter was extremely complicated.

Fugaku looked at Itachi.

He felt very relieved that he knew how to be so considerate at such a young age.

"You concentrate..."

Fugaku paused as he spoke, his eyes flashed with thought before he changed his mind, "Just in case, you can investigate at school to see if it's a prank by a classmate."

It is a very simple thing to find out whether a classmate is playing a prank.

Fugaku wanted to use this to train Itachi's abilities.

"understood!"

Itachi nodded. Immediately, it turned into smoke and disappeared with a 'bang' sound.

Shadow clone.

He had just entered the ninja school and had already mastered this level of ninjutsu.

Fugaku was also relieved about this.

Putting aside the flaws in his character, his innocence about becoming a ninja was something even he himself could not compare with.

Because of this, he was extremely optimistic about Itachi.

"Yashiro, rice fire, iron fire."

As the voice fell, three ninjas wearing green vests walked in.

They looked at Fugaku with a solemn expression and realized what had happened.

"Captain, what are your orders?"

"Secretly investigating Orochimaru, he is most likely the murderer of this missing child case."

"what!"

The three of them were extremely surprised and seemed unable to believe it.

"I know you are surprised, but this is the fact. Remember, investigate secretly and don't alert the enemy."

"Yes."

……

Ninja School.

Itachi, who was listening to the teacher's lecture, was slightly startled, and then turned his attention to the class again.

Investigate to see if it is a prank by a classmate...

It's really a simple thing.

Falcon Leaf on the other side...

He had been observing Itachi secretly. After seeing Itachi's expression change, he immediately focused on the class.

History class was finished yesterday.

After all, the history of Ninja Village is only about fifty years, so there is really not much to talk about.

Today's lesson is to review the Chakra Refining Technique.

Without chakra, you cannot become a ninja.

If you cannot refine chakra within a month, you will be expelled from school.

Children from ninja families or families have basically refined chakra before going to school. These classes are for children from ordinary families.

Hayabusa listened for a while, and after confirming that there was no difference from what he said yesterday, he simulated and practiced the basic usage of kunai and shuriken in his mind.

……

The day's class ended quickly.

In addition to reviewing chakra refining techniques, this day's course is about physical exercise and practical training of kunai.

Hayabusa's basic kunai usage goes one step further.

……

After school.

Hayabusa planned to go home just like yesterday.

"Hayaba-san..."

Hayabusa looked at the classmates standing in front of him and felt a little confused.

"Itachi-kun, what's the matter?"

"Can I take a step to talk?"

Itachi said in a stiff tone with an expressionless face. If I didn't understand his character like this, I would probably turn around and leave!

"……Can."
