“Lord Hokage.”

“Oh, it's Itachi.”

Hiruzen Sarutobi pursed his lips. He felt a headache whenever he saw someone from the Uchiha clan these days.

“Get up. I know about Shisui's matter. I express my deep regret for this, but I promise I will definitely give the Uchiha clan an explanation.”

In his opinion, Uchiha Itachi was probably here to convey the Uchiha clan's message.

The topic to be discussed was probably about Uchiha Shisui. Rather than being questioned, it was better for him to take the initiative and give another promise.

“Lord Hokage, I believe you.”

Uchiha Itachi stood up. He nodded to Hiruzen Sarutobi. He could still trust the Hokage.

“However, I have important matters to report to Lord Hokage this time.”

“Important matters?”

“Yes, about the possibility of rebellion within the Uchiha clan!”

“...”

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared blankly at Uchiha Itachi, feeling somewhat confused for a moment. What was going on this time?

It seemed like he hadn't asked him to be a spy to this extent, had he?

“So, we have to stay in this damn place?”

In the Land of Fire, within a forest, Tsunade stared blankly at Hideki building a house with Wood Release, while the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch as she asked.

Actually, she really wanted to ask, is that how Wood Release is used?

However, after much consideration, she still gave up on asking.

After all, Hideki didn't plan to find a town to live in in the wilderness, so building a house with Wood Release seemed to be the best choice.

Ah, people shouldn't mistreat themselves. They should still enjoy life when they can.

It's just that she really wasn't sure where the specific destination was this time. Hideki was making all the decisions. She just suggested coming out to relax.

“It's not bad to enjoy the natural atmosphere nearby first.”

After Hideki built the house and casually created some tables, chairs, and beds, he smiled and said.

“The environment here is beautiful, and there are no people to disturb us, and there's also a lake nearby.

Relaxing, hunting, and by the way, we can also fish and take a bath. Isn't that great?”

“You're crazy. What am I going to do if I want to drink?”

Tsunade couldn't hold back anymore. She had no interest in these things full of natural atmosphere.

“Also, now that we've finally come out, shouldn't we find a bigger town so I can gamble properly? This crappy place is not as good as staying in Konoha!”

Tsunade is very rich now. The 'kickbacks' that Hideki got from Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura were extraordinary.

Although he didn't give Tsunade too much, the fixed monthly share still allowed Tsunade to splurge in major gambling houses.

In addition, she had been busy recently and had no chance to play at all. She had really saved a lot of savings, and now she was already itching to gamble.

And this is it?

“Tsunade-sama, I think this place is actually not bad.”

Shizune took out the bedding and prepared to go inside to tidy up the residence, while smiling and looking at Tsunade.

“After all, the environment here is indeed good, and we're here to relax, so how can we go to those big cities? What if we run into creditors again…”

“Don't worry, I'll kill them all!”

Before Shizune could finish speaking, Hideki suddenly nodded from the side, with an extremely serious expression.

“Danzo-sama said that if you can't solve the problem, solve the person who raised the problem. The same goes for debt. If you can't pay off the debt, wouldn't it be good to kill the creditor?”

“Hey, hey, hey, stop learning from that crazy Danzo, you hear me?”

A look of pain appeared on Tsunade's face. She suddenly felt that it was better not to go to town. She had no interest in attacking ordinary people, which did not fit her values.

“Really, why is that crazy Danzo's ghost so persistent? His shadow is everywhere…”

“Don't worry, Tsunade-sensei, I will keep an eye on him.”

Yugao had already set up the campfire. She glanced at Hideki, then looked at Tsunade seriously.

“I won't let him mess around, and he's actually not as cruel as he says he is. He just seems extreme sometimes, but he hasn't done anything.”

“…”

Tsunade pursed her lips and couldn't help but roll her eyes.

“You two, give me a break. Why don't you just go back and live together!”

Is there such a good thing?

Hideki's eyes lit up instantly, but Yugao couldn't hold back. She immediately shook her head but didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, Shizune helped to defuse the situation.

“Okay, Tsunade-sama, don't tease them. Speaking of which, is it really okay for us to bring Karin out?”

“Tch, those things she learns in school, it doesn't matter whether she goes or not.”

Tsunade snorted dismissively and turned to look at the little transparent Karin without falling for the trick.

“Speaking of which, haven't these two been ignoring you for more than a month, just focusing on their own happiness?”

“No, Hideki-nii and Yugao-nee are still taking good care of me.”

Karin smiled awkwardly, but her reflective glasses couldn't help but glance at Hideki and Yugao.

During this time, these two really hadn't paid much attention to her. She didn't even dare to look for these two, for fear of seeing something she shouldn't see.

But she didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Saying they didn't care was actually just that they didn't ask her too much about her affairs at school. Normal life was still very caring for her.

After all, she had been in Konoha for some time and had long adapted to life here, and had also made many friends at the Ninja Academy.

She was very happy with this kind of life, especially since she had experience taking care of herself in the Land of Grass, so she didn't feel anything was wrong.

"Alright, Lady Tsunade."

Shizune shook her head and walked over to pull Karin up.

"Karin, let's go. I'll take you fishing. Yūgao, are you going?"

"Okay."

Yūgao nodded immediately and went with Shizune, but she still gave Shūzawa a look, telling him not to make Tsunade angry.

"That's a good girl. You're really lucky, kid."

Tsunade naturally saw this scene, and she couldn't help but complain after the three of them walked away.

"She's clearly much older than you, and you still managed to get her. It's outrageous."

"Is it possible that my personal charm is greater?"

Shūzawa looked at Tsunade with a smile, but he didn't expect Tsunade to actually nod.

"You do look good and have the capital to deceive girls."

" ."

Hearing this, Shūzawa didn't know whether to laugh or cry, because he didn't know whether he should be happy or angry.

What do you mean deceive? This is called mutual affection!

"I hope you don't let her down in the future, after all, your situation..."

Tsunade pursed her lips, stopped halfway through her words, and then changed the subject.

"Forget it, let's not talk about that. Tell me the reason you chose this broken place. Don't give me that 'full of natural atmosphere' crap, I don't believe that kind of nonsense."

"This place is sparsely populated, and with Yūgao and Tsunade here, it's suitable for doing some experiments."

Shūzawa wasn't surprised by Tsunade's question. Since it was just the two of them, he didn't plan to hide it.

"I've already prepared the experimental materials. I need a quiet place to carry them out. Too many people are gossipy, so this place is very good.

If something really goes wrong, I can take you back to Konoha within the Land of Fire at the first moment to ensure your safety, Teacher."

Regarding the experimental materials, although he was extremely lazy during the month that Tsunade was away, he also prepared the relevant matters.

He wouldn't fight unprepared battles. Being fully prepared is in line with his philosophy.

"Wood Release, huh..."

Tsunade sighed, but she still stared at Shūzawa.

"It's more than that, right? You came here with such a purpose, I'm afraid what you want to do is definitely more than that!"

"Maybe."

Shūzawa blinked and then smiled.

"Remember what I told you, Teacher? I said I found an interesting place in the scroll, so I plan to come and take a look this time.

I have a very strong premonition that we might be able to dig up some interesting treasures this time!"

"Treasures..."

Tsunade really didn't want to talk anymore. She admired Shūzawa's tireless spirit.

But why do you always think about digging up other people's graves?

"Lord Hokage, that's the situation."

Inside the Hokage's office, Uchiha Itachi looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi with a calm expression, while the Third Hokage looked somewhat complicated.

This kid seems to be a little beyond his expectations?

He explained the plan within the Uchiha clan in such detail that he was speechless for a moment, and he also confirmed one thing.

This kid really has the 'Will of Fire' and can look at problems with the mindset of a 'Hokage'.

This kind of top-notch workhorse who can empathize with the 'boss' while being a 'wage earner' is truly amazing.

Of course, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't have such words in his mind, but the meaning he thought of was similar.

It's good to have a sense of ownership as a member of Konoha, but Hiruzen Sarutobi felt that he probably couldn't reveal the affairs within the clan like this.

This is a 'Child of Konoha'!

"I understand, thank you for your hard work, Itachi."

Although his heart was full of disbelief, and he could even say he was overjoyed, because he saw a new Uchiha Shisui!

No, it could even be said that he was a better target than Uchiha Kagami and Uchiha Shisui. After all, this kid was the son of the clan leader, barring accidents.

Compared to creating a 'New Uchiha,' Uchiha Itachi could completely do something based on the existing Uchiha, and the effect would only be better!

But he still put on a heavy look and opened his mouth helplessly while holding his pipe.

"You know, Shisui is a good person, a kind person. I sincerely regret his death.

No one expected such a thing to happen. Everything happened so suddenly. I really didn't expect such a thing to happen..."

"Lord Hokage, you don't have to worry about Shisui's matter. Since it has already happened, there is no point in discussing it anymore."

Uchiha Itachi shook his head. After pondering for a moment, he ultimately didn't say anything about Danzō.

In his opinion, Shisui's actions were somewhat extreme.

With a little carelessness, Shisui would cause a chaotic war between the clan and the village, especially since he knew exactly what the environment outside the village was like in the Anbu.

If this were to happen, the village would inevitably suffer unimaginable trauma!

Fortunately, the most terrible thing didn't happen, although it might still happen in the future, but Uchiha Itachi was already mentally prepared.

"The safety of the village is the most important thing. I don't want peace to be broken because of this. I am willing to contribute my strength for the village!"

"Good."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded. For some reason, he always felt that the young man in front of him was a little strange.

It was as if they weren't thinking about things together?

But no matter what, it was a good thing as far as he could see.
