Konoha: The New Will of Fire

Leaf Village.

Uchiha Itachi, who returned from the Country of Valley, didn't even report back to his roots. As soon as he returned to the village, he immediately went to see Hokage Mikio. What happened in the Country of Valley was too serious, and he had to report it to the Hokage as quickly as possible.

When meeting Qian Qiao, Uchiha Itachi reported the entire incident to Qian Qiao in detail.

"Hokage-sama...this is what happened."

Qian Qiao looked at Itachi thoughtfully and asked, "In other words, you have now awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan."

Uchiha Itachi responded: "Yes, Hokage-sama."

Unexpectedly, Itachi would awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan in this way. In the original plot, Uchiha Itachi awakened the Sharingan because of Shisui's death. Now that Shisui is not dead, it has become the death of his teammates.

He personally kills his teammates who get along day and night, and awakens the Mangekyō Sharingan. This awakening method is somewhat similar to Fugaku. Fugaku also awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan because of the death of his companions.

Compared to Itachi's awakening of the Mangekyō Sharingan, Mikiko was more concerned about Obito.

How could this guy get involved in this matter? According to Itachi, Obito's purpose is probably Uchiha Itachi.

At this point, Qianqiao did not doubt Itachi. In the original plot, Obito had his eye on Itachi. During Itachi's first mission as a genin, Obito brutally killed Itachi's companions, causing Itachi to awaken the Mangekyo. The Sharingan has been secretly in contact with Itachi since then. During the night of genocide, the two of them joined forces to slaughter the entire Uchiha.

However, whether Obito's purpose this time is the same as before, to instigate Itachi to rebel and become his helper, or whether there is another purpose.

This is a tricky question.

Let it go and let Obito continue to contact Itachi, or stop Obito.

But Obito was hiding in the dark, and it was difficult to stop Obito. The only one who could stop him was Itachi. A murderous aura flashed through Qian Qiao's heart.

Forget it, let’s see what Obito is thinking about first.

Although Itachi is a young man who can even kill his family with his own hands, it is undeniable that Itachi is still on the side of the village in essence, whether it is destroying Uchiha or handing over Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan later. To Naruto, the purpose is to protect Konoha.

From the perspective of the village and the Hokage, Itachi was still believable.

Qianqiao thought for a while and said: "Hide this matter. Regarding your contact with Uchiha Madara, change it to encountering a powerful opponent during the retreat. It is speculated that he is a master in the Shell Organization."

"Yes!"

Itachi whispered.

Sensing the sadness in Itachi's tone, Gan Qiao paused and then said: "You should not carry out the mission during this period. If something like this happened, you must be in pain. I will give you a long vacation. Take care of yourself." Adjust it, you are also needed for the funerals of the three of them."

"They are heroes who sacrificed their lives for the village. Their families will receive the highest pensions and the village will support their parents."

"Thank you Hokage-sama!"

Itachi expressed his sincere gratitude from the bottom of his heart.

With the words of the Fifth Hokage, their families will have no worries about food and clothing, and their children will enjoy the best education.

This kind of treatment is only available in Konoha in the entire ninja world.

Before Qianqiao's reforms, ninjas were more like a job, a simple mercenary who used his life to complete tasks and make money. If he died, he would die.

Just like Minato, the Fourth Hokage, died, the village still recovered the assets of Minato and Kushina, and then gave Naruto a little bit of living expenses every month.

Why did the third generation dare to do this? Why does no one think it is strange? Because this is the case in the entire ninja world.

The third generation shouts bullshit about the Will of Fire every day, but it is still undeniable that the so-called Ninja Village is just a hired organization whose cornerstone is many families.

But Qianqiao changed these. He turned Konoha into a collective. Under his operation, Konoha belonged to everyone, and Konoha's interests were everyone's interests.

You dedicating your lives to the village is not just a slogan, but also an honor and a closely related interest.

You have dedicated your life to the village, and the village has taken care of your family, given you honor, and made you famous both in life and in life.

In such a village, who wouldn't be willing to sacrifice for this, even Itachi.

Such changes were brought about by Gan Qiao, the Fifth Hokage.

He gave a ninja something they had never imagined, which is why he gained the support and respect of the villagers.

Watching Itachi leave and the door close again, Qian Qiao looked at the information Itachi brought with a thoughtful look on his face.

The shell organization information Itachi found was not the most confidential, such as Ci Xian's true identity, the shell organization's true purpose, etc., but it supplemented Konoha's understanding of the low-end information in the shell organization.

With Konoha's current strength, starting a war with the Shell Organization is not a wise choice.

Especially at this time, after several years of stability, Obito acted again, which shows that Obito is planning something secretly. If he takes action rashly without understanding Obito's true purpose, it is very likely that the fisherman will benefit from the snipe and the clam. , and finally got the better of Obito.

"Obito...Obito..."

Qian Qiao muttered a few words and summoned the Secret Art Uohi Hongyan from the Secretariat, asking him to notify Kakashi to come over.

Soon, Kakashi came, and Qianqiao didn't talk nonsense and said directly: "Kakashi, go to the Rain Hidden Village yourself and bring this thing to the Rain Hidden Village."

Looking at the scroll sealed by the sealing technique in front of him, Kakashi was stunned. Aren't Konoha and the Akatsuki organization enemies?How could the Hokage give something to Akatsuki?

Although he was confused, Kakashi didn't ask any more questions. He must have his purpose in doing this.

"Yes!"

Kakashi immediately agreed, took the scroll, and disappeared.

Looking at the wooden leaves outside the floor-to-ceiling window, Qian Qiao murmured in a low voice.

"Obito...Uchiha...does it have anything to do with it?"

……

Itachi finished writing the mission report and the sacrifice report of his teammates, and after being questioned carefully by Genbe, it was already evening when he left Genbe.

After taking off his mask and combat uniform, Itachi, dressed in casual clothes, raised his hand to push his hair that was blowing in the wind away from his eyes, looking at the setting sun in the distance with complex eyes filled with various emotions.

Itachi returned home, picked up the shoes at the entrance, put them on silently, and walked towards his room.

Hearing the movement at the door, Mikoto, who was cooking, came out of the kitchen. When she saw Itachi, she greeted her gently: "Itachi, you are back. How was this mission?"

"Um…"

Itachi just responded softly without saying anything.

The smile on Uchiha Mikoto's face disappeared, and she looked at Itachi's back with a worried look on her face. She could tell from Itachi's sadness that something must have happened during this mission.

During dinner, due to something wrong with Itachi, the entire dinner was spent in a depressing atmosphere. Even Sasuke, who pestered Itachi every day, did not dare to speak when he saw Onii-chan's appearance.

After dinner, in the courtyard.

Itachi took the initiative to find his father, who was feeding crucian carp by the pond, and asked directly.

"Father, are you secretly in contact with Uchiha Madara?"
