Naruto: The Iceman of the Senju Family

In March, after receiving the "Mission Accomplished" message from Ye Cang, Senju Maysuki took a break and went to Tonika Village.

The first is to let the lovely subordinates get to know the future boss, and the second is to give Uzumaki Miyuki a comprehensive body care——

As the only relative in this world, her mother is undoubtedly Xiang Lu's biggest weakness.

As long as you can keep Uzumaki Miyuki in your hands properly and plumply, you will never have to worry about Uzumaki being double-minded~

Or the other way around,

As long as he can make Xiang Lian rely on and trust him, Uzumaki Miyuki will never abandon her daughter and leave alone.

So starting from that month, Senju Maysuki and Ye Cang were divided into two fronts:

Ye Cang serves as the first teacher of Xiang Phosphorus in Tonika Village, and by the way, he conducts basic ability training with Diesel;

Senju Mayuki is conducting special training for Izumi and Kurama Yakumo in Konoha Village~

After all, these people can be said to be his most capable subordinates in the future, and it is appropriate to spend some time on them.

Oh yes, occasionally when we meet him, he will also teach Naruto who has nothing to do~

Of course, he would still take the opportunity to go to Tonika Village at least two or three times a month——

It was a visit in name, but in fact it was just to brush his face more, so that if time went by, Xiang Lu would feel distant from his boss again~

April……

May……

June……

The peaceful days passed like this day by day,

Until one day at the end of June,

Seeing that half of the 55th year has passed, some Chuunin candidates from other villages began to appear in Konoha Village.

However, at this moment, Senju Mayuki suddenly learned from Izumi that Itachi still failed to take the Chunin Exam this year?

After hearing the news, he just thought about it for a while, and then ran to the Hokage Building to find the Third Hokage.

It's not like he suddenly felt some inexplicable concern for Itachi.

Rather, he was thinking that since the seeds of doubt had been sown in Itachi's mind some time ago, the most important thing he should do now is to go to all directions 24 hours a day to trouble Danzo.

As a result, until now, this old guy still has nothing happening all day long, which is very annoying~

The direction of the investigation has been given to you.

If it had been a primary school student wearing glasses, he would have had a sudden flash of inspiration!

What did you do~

You have to hurry up and work, little brother!

……

"I looked at the list of candidates for this year's Chuunin Examination, and it seems that Uchiha Itachi is still not on it."

In the Hokage's office, looking at his old friend sitting on the chair representing the highest authority, Danzo suddenly spoke.

The Third Hokage was originally looking at the data on the table. After hearing this sentence, he couldn't help but look at his old friend with surprised eyes.

"Speaking of this, didn't you go out of your way to talk to Itachi once when he graduated?"

Although I didn't specially send someone to monitor you, as long as I want to know about anything that happens in this village, there is nothing I can hide from you.

He believed that his old friend must have known this for a long time, so when the Third Hokage said these words, he didn't actually mean to show off or demonstrate~

"I just want to meet a student who can be collectively praised by the teachers of Ninja School."

Danzo only said one sentence before changing the subject:

"It's been two years since he graduated. The two people at the same time as him have become elites in the village. Itachi, who is not bad at all in talent, has been buried. This is undoubtedly a huge problem for the village. loss."

"..."

The Third Hokage frowned when he heard this, feeling slightly moved.

"But the problem is, I have never received a letter of recommendation from him to lead the Jonin..."

When he heard what he said, the corners of Danzo's mouth suddenly curled up slightly.

"Itachi's leading jounin is Minazuki Yuki. His strength among the jonins is middle-to-lower. He is just jealous of Itachi's strength."

"?"

The Third Hokage heard this and subconsciously wanted to refute:

"No, as the leader of the team, Yu Qi is not..."

"That's what he is!"

Danzo's tone was very firm when he said this.

"You probably don't know yet, but he had already driven genin who were stronger than him several times back to the ninja school to retrain before Itachi!"

"The reason why I didn't do it this time is just because Itachi's reputation is quite famous, and because Itachi's father is the captain of the police force, he didn't think it was easy to deal with the aftermath."

"Although he doesn't usually show it, Minazuki Yuki has a dark personality in his heart. This 'root' has been investigated!"

"...There is such a thing."

Some shadows immediately appeared on the third generation Hokage's face.

Because of Hokage's identity, he will not take the initiative to doubt every ninja who works for the village.

But he also has a thorough understanding of the style and abilities of his old friend's "roots".

Or it can be said that in terms of exploring the darkness of human nature, even the ANBU directly under the Hokage cannot compare with the root.

"In this case……"

After thinking for a moment, the Third Hokage slowly spoke:

"Since his leading jounin didn't recommend him, let's promote him to chuunin directly through high-level recommendation."

"No, I think it would be better for the village to let him take the exam."

"Ok?"

Danzo stared at the Third Hokage holding a pipe in his mouth.

"In the Chunin Examination two years ago, Konoha Village stole the show in front of the daimyo and dignitaries from all over the world. I think the other villages will definitely want to make a comeback in a certain joint exam."

"So, at this time, we need to tell them with a painful fact again that Konoha's power is unquestionable!"

"...I know Itachi is an excellent ninja, but is he so powerful?"

Because there are so many things to deal with, the Third Hokage usually only looks at the task performance evaluation form.

In addition, just being in Class [-] was enough to keep him busy, so he didn't pay much attention to Itachi.

"of course."

Danzo's voice seemed to be filled with some inexplicable emotions when he talked about this topic.

"According to my observation, every time Itachi goes on a mission, he has to cooperate with his superiors and companions who are worse than himself. However, even so, he can still maintain a very high mission success rate. From this aspect, we can already see a lot ”

"...I never thought you would be so optimistic about an Uchiha child."

"I have a problem with Uchiha, but I won't bury a person who is truly valuable to the village just because of it."

The Third Hokage was silent for a moment after hearing this.

He knew that his old friend was definitely not as selfless as he said, but what the other person was thinking could not be figured out in a short while.

Although he has never admitted it, perhaps this is the tacit understanding between him and Danzo that needs no explanation.

I know you have thoughts,

I also know that you know that I know that you have thoughts,

But we didn't say anything,

Trying to figure each other out, guessing at each other,

Isn’t this what people of their age like to do the most~

"Ok."

Since letting Itachi take part in the Chunin Exams has a correct direction and significance for the Leaf Village in the general direction, the Third Hokage will naturally not refuse.

"It's just that this year's registration has closed. In order to achieve the goal you mentioned, we can only let him participate in the multi-village joint entrance examination at this time next year... I will go to Fugaku to discuss this matter later."

"Ah."

Danzo responded seemingly calmly,

However, deep in the eyes of the Third Hokage, which the Third Hokage did not notice, a strange light began to flicker!

Konoha Village and Uchiha,

Things that are not supposed to exist at the same time!

Now I finally found a sharp blade that can cut off the entanglement between the two since the founding of the village——

Uchiha Itachi!

The genius with the darkness he admired~

He felt that this child definitely had the ability to realize his long-cherished wish!

'What can I do to make him willing to become my pawn...'

After successfully promoting Itachi's life trajectory, this is really a happy trouble and problem for Danzo at this time.
