Naruto: I just want to show off but I'm too busy

The room became silent again. Itachi froze in place after hearing his master's words, unable to speak for a long time.

Although he said at the time that if the safety of the village was threatened, he would not hesitate to suppress those people.

But when it got to that point, Itachi found that he couldn't be as decisive as he said.

Those are all my beloved relatives and friends...well, it seems that I don't have a loved one, but those are my relatives and friends.

"Master, is there really no room for change?" Itachi asked unwillingly.

Hearing this, Shen Gong Xiyue chuckled, looked at Fugaku beside her, and joked: "You guys are really father and son, even what you say is so similar."

Fugaku ignored Jingu Xiyue, but said coldly: "There is nothing that can be redeemed."

"This is the only way to eliminate Sarutobi's wariness and completely hide the Uchiha clan in the ninja world."

"Only in this way can we settle down in the Kingdom of Whirlpool, recuperate and not be disturbed by others."

"Itachi, you are my best child, Sasuke's brother, and Xiyue's apprentice. I believe you can do it!"

……

A few days later, things turned out as Jingu Xiyue expected. The Third Hokage approached Uchiha Itachi and asked Uchiha Itachi to meet him alone.

When Itachi came to the Hokage's office, what caught his eye was the gloomy face of the Third Hokage.

When he saw Itachi, Sandaime's expression eased slightly, and he chatted with him about recent events warmly.

"How have you been lately? Are you still used to being in ANBU?"

"Anbu is very suitable for my ideals. I am willing to be the victim who secretly protects Konoha and maintains peace in Konoha."

"Well said, Itachi, you are truly worthy of being the disciple of Jingu Xiyue. I have felt that you are very different since you were a child."

"I still remember when you were seven years old, you showed your amazing strength and unique insights in front of me. I dare say that no one in the Uchiha clan is better than you."

"You can think like Hokage at the age of seven and have the ideal of maintaining peace in the village. The Uchiha clan should be proud to have an outstanding boy like you."

The third generation kept praising Itachi, while also observing his expression. When he found that his expression was still the same as when he first entered the door, with the same expression on his face, the third generation nodded silently in his heart.

"One against seven, now the peace of the village has been violated. Are you willing to eradicate those who destroy the peace for the sake of the village?" Sandai walked around the desk and came to Itachi, looking down at him condescendingly.

Itachi raised his head slightly, his face full of determination, "As long as anyone dares to endanger the safety of the village, I will show no mercy!"

"Okay, great!" Sandai laughed and reached out to stroke Itachi's head.

"Those who harm the village are you, the Uchiha clan!"

"I have received accurate information that your father Uchiha Fugaku is plotting a coup with the elders."

"Itachi, how should you choose?"

You can touch my head. Only my master and my parents can touch my head!

Suppressing the unhappiness in his heart, Itachi showed just the right amount of hesitation, as if he was constantly engaged in an ideological struggle.

The third generation looked at Itachi quietly, waiting for him to give him an answer.

After a long time, Itachi raised his head, his eyes were reddish as if he had cried, and his eyes became cold, "The Uchiha clan attempted to launch a coup and deserved death. I, Uchiha Itachi, am willing to personally take action to deal with those rebels."

The third generation nodded slightly, pretending to be considerate of Itachi and said: "I won't force you, I know your difficulties, if you can't bear to do it, then I will find someone else, but..."

"You also know that the Uchiha clan is the largest clan in Konoha and is very powerful. If others go, they will probably pay a heavy price."

"Only you, a member of the Uchiha clan, can go and make them relax their vigilance. Only in this way can the casualties be minimized."

"Stop talking, Hokage-sama, I'm going." Itachi stood up slowly, his eyes full of determination.

"Okay, I really saw the right person!" The third generation patted Itachi on the shoulder, looking very pleased.

"I just have a request." Itachi lowered his head again and said respectfully.

"You said, as long as it's not too much, I can satisfy you." Sandai waved his hand, indicating that he was still very talkative.

"My brother Sasuke is innocent, I hope he can be let go." Itachi said his request.

The third generation nodded clearly after hearing this, not feeling much surprise.

On the contrary, if Itachi didn't want anything, he might mutter in his heart and go investigate Itachi.

If you just want to keep one Uchiha clan member...

"It's not impossible to keep your brother Sasuke, but you have to bear the responsibility of killing the Uchiha clan members on your own, and you have to leave Konoha immediately!"

"Okay, I promise you." Itachi agreed without hesitation.

……

After Itachi left, Sarutobi Hiruzen stood in front of the French window, overlooking the remote Uchiha land.

This trick of killing people with a borrowed knife was the best solution he came up with after repeated thinking. It could not only get rid of those evil Uchiha people, but also prevent himself from being contaminated by this matter.

Then he would still be the bright and majestic Third Hokage.

As for the Uchiha clan, they will only have the reputation of being a down-and-out family.

As for Uchiha Itachi's arrangements after the matter was completed, he had already thought about it.

The Akatsuki, a terrorist mercenary organization composed of rebellious ninjas, has recently emerged. Konoha needs to know their intelligence to ensure that they will not cause harm to Konoha.

Uchiha Itachi was a good candidate. As a rebellious nin who killed his own people and escaped from the ninja village, he just met Akatsuki's requirements.

Let Itachi infiltrate Akatsuki and become Konoha's spy.

If it failed, Itachi would be killed by someone from the Akatsuki organization, so no one would know that he had ordered Itachi to kill his own people.

If Itachi is lucky enough to gain Akatsuki's trust, then let him stay undercover with Akatsuki for the rest of his life. In short, he cannot be allowed to return to Konoha.

As for his younger brother Sasuke...

Haha, compared to Itachi, Sasuke is too far behind. He is just a child and is nothing to worry about.

It's just that his master is more troublesome. If his master notices this matter, it will be difficult to handle.

Sarutobi Hiruzen decided to temporarily send him to perform the mission as he had done before when he competed for the position of Hokage, and then let him come back after the mission was completed.

As for what tasks to do to hold him back?

Sarutobi Hiruzen paced back and forth in the Hokage's office, and finally his eyes fell on a letter.

Above is a letter sent by frontline ninjas about Sunagakure Village.

Just make up any reason to send Jingu Xiyue to Sand Hidden Village. Anyway, it is a remote mountainous area, so robberies are often encountered there.

Let him help Luo Sha manage the village and treat him as if he was going there for a vacation.

When the time comes, I'll give the mission bounty a little higher, so I won't be afraid that he won't go.
