Konoha's Itachi Reappearance

228 chapter

"The Third Hokage even refused to tell you, which further proves that something big must have happened when the Senju clan disappeared in Konoha..."

Itachi said solemnly, he wanted to find out what purpose the Akatsuki organization wanted to achieve by collecting all the tailed beasts. .

Based on the information Itachi currently has, it can be inferred that the masked man's purpose is related to the content recorded on the stone tablet of the Uchiha clan's Nanga Shrine.

Itachi's eye power during his lifetime only reached the level of the Mangekyō Sharingan, and he was unable to see the entire content of the stone tablet.

So Itachi set his sights on the Senju Clan, which also had a long history with the Uchiha Clan.

Maybe he could find something in the ancient books of the Thousand Hands Clan.

However, that family, which was supposed to be the most powerful family in Konoha Village, disappeared from the village due to unknown reasons.

In the ninja world, there is no news about the Senju clan.

Even Minato, who was the Hokage, didn't know the whereabouts of the Senju clan.

In Konoha Village, the only people who knew the inside story were the three senior elders, the Third Hokage, Koharu Koharu, Mito Kadoen, and Danzo.

But none of them seemed willing to reveal the inside story about how the Senju clan disappeared from Konoha Village.

"There is no direction yet, but we still have time to find out the truth."

Itachi said that he, who used to be in the Akatsuki organization, knew that the mask man's plan would take a long time to prepare, and now the Akatsuki organization's strength has been hit hard.

At least for a few years, they shouldn't make any big moves.

During this time, Itachi could use it to regain his strength and walk around the ninja world, looking for clues about the whereabouts of the Senju clan.

"Haha, in this case, don't make yourself too hard."

Minato chuckled, stretched out his hand and patted Itachi on the shoulder, and said, "Thank you for your hard work for continuously performing high-level tasks. Next, you should take a good rest."

"About your position as the captain, it will take some time to discuss."

Itachi nodded, he knew that at his age as the captain of the ninja team, it was not an easy task to get the approval of the senior officials in the village.

And Minato let Itachi become the team leader, in addition to cultivating Izumi, the more important reason is to give him more freedom of action.

After leaving Hokage's office, Itachi went home immediately.

Until the evening when the ninja school was over, he once again replaced Mikoto to pick up Sasuke from school.

...

At this time, Minato, who usually should have returned home, was still in a conference room in the Hokage Building.

In front of the rectangular tabletop, besides Minato, there were four other elders from Konoha, all present.

What the few of them were discussing was naturally Itachi's role as the captain of the ninja team.

"I still don't think it's appropriate for an 11-year-old to be captain of a ninja squad, even though he might be really talented."

An old woman with white hair on her temples said that this person was the only woman among the four high-level officials in Konoha, who was sleeping with Koharu.

"Elder Changshu, you should also know that in the world of ninja, age does not mean everything."

Because he himself is a good example, Minato said.

About ten years ago, when he was only 13 years old, he single-handedly stopped the "Kyuubi Retrieval Mission" planned by the Cloud Ninja Village.

"Kakashi was only 12 years old when he was promoted to ninja as captain."

"It was a war, so I had to do it."

Another old man next to Xiaochun who turned to sleep said that his name was Mitomon Yan.

During the Third Ninja War, Konoha was jointly attacked by the other four major ninja villages, and its combat power was unprecedentedly lacking. Therefore, only 12-year-old Hatake Kakashi was promoted to Konoha Ninja, the executive god. No bridge mission.

"Kakashi did a great job at the time, didn't he?"

Minato said, at that time Kakashi defeated Huo Guang, one of the many masters of Kumo Ninja Village, and successfully assisted him in blowing up the Kannabi Bridge and cutting off the Iwa Ninja's supply line.

"Fourth generation, what are you doing this for?"

"If it is to train Uchiha Itachi, you can put him in the ANBU."

Mitomonyan looked directly at Minato, wondering.

"The reason I have said before is that Shikaku cannot continue to be a ninja instructor due to important responsibilities, and two of the three children, Itachi, Kido Daisuke and Hattori Shinichi, have already become ninjas."

"The newly dispatched ninja is naturally not as familiar with the situation between the three of them as Itachi. Rather than needing time to get in touch with each other again, it is better to take advantage of this opportunity to directly cultivate outstanding ninja seedlings for the village."

"And with Itachi's strength and talent, he is completely qualified for this position, which is also completely in line with the regulations." Minato explained.

"You mean, Uchiha Itachi's skills are even better than those of other shinobi in the village?"

After turning to bed, Xiaochun still said with some disbelief, even though in front of these advisors, there was already a scroll from Zhiweijiao describing the detailed process of Tian Zhiguo's mission.

"You can't say that, but considering his age, he will never lose to everyone in the village, including me." Minato said with confidence.

Since he chose Itachi to serve as the captain of the ninja team, it was time to show Itachi's talents to other high-level people in the village.

With his efforts in the past few years, the relationship between the village and Uchiha is no longer as tense as it used to be, and it is different from Shisui at that time.

What's more, there is still him, the Fourth Hokage.

After hearing Minato's comments, several high-level officials, including the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzane, all changed their expressions slightly.

Because the blond man in front of them was the most talented ninja person they had ever seen in their lives, except for the first and second generation Hokages.

That's why Minato was so young and succeeded to the position of the Fourth Hokage.

"Since you have said so, let us old guys see the talent of that kid."

At this moment, Danzo, who had been sitting silently next to him, spoke up.

"This..."

Minato looked at Danzo, he knew that the latter had always been wary of Uchiha, so his proposal should have other meanings.

"If he does not have the strength to serve as the captain of the ninja team, if we agree to it, other ninjas may die as a result of future missions. The stakes are very high, Yondaime, you should understand."

"There is absolutely no room for sloppyness in this matter."

While Danzo was speaking, he looked at Koharu and Mito Monobu, who were sleeping in the bed, with something special in their eyes.
