Opposite Uchiha Itachi, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen had a terrifyingly gloomy expression on his face.

Having been the Hokage for decades, he could not understand why Uchiha Itachi, who should have surrendered to him and completely sided with the village represented by the Hokage, would betray him again.

Although he had seen many storms in his life, the scene before him was still a little beyond his past knowledge and common sense.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was almost questioning his life because of the girl's methods.

Of course, Sarutobi Hiruzen was not the only one who was doubting his life at this moment.

At this time, Uchiha Fugaku's inner thoughts were even more complicated. He directly imagined that there was some special relationship between Uchiha Itachi and Haruno.

And it was Yang Nai's beauty that successfully made her foolish son change his mind and join his side.

At this time, he was already considering whether to exclude Itachi from the list of successors and instead directly let Sasuke be the 6th Hokage - this coincided with what Haruno had casually said.

After all, he had imagined the horrible scene in which Itachi became Hokage and was controlled by, uh, Haruno, who was supposed to be a good wife, and became a puppet.

So our patriarch really has a lot of inner drama.

However, just when the Sandaime Hokage was ready to question Uchiha Itachi about his betrayal, the words that Uchiha Itachi said shocked everyone present tonight.

He said in a hoarse voice;

"Sarutobi-sama, for the sake of a better Konohagakure, please give up the position of Hokage. Go to the Land of Fire Daimyo and serve as his advisor."

! ? ?

Well, just on the way here, Itachi thought for a long time, and finally decided on his own to rule out the option of staying in Konoha Village and continuing to serve as the advisor to the new Hokage for Sarutobi Hiruzen.

He always felt that his father and Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't get along well.

The expression on Uchiha Fugaku's face was extremely surprised, and his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

What are you talking about? My silly boy! Letting Sarutobi Hiruzen leave, are you planning to wait for him to come back with his three ninja disciples?

Just as the Hokage had already made up his mind to kill the Uchiha clan, for the Uchiha clan at this time, as long as the coup was successful, there was no reason to leave Sarutobi Hiruzen alive.

Unfortunately, Uchiha Itachi was completely at a loss as he was attacked by a series of combined punches, including Yono's use of information asymmetry and memory modification, as well as Itachi's own ability to speak with his mouth that was close to the level of Six Paths Extreme, and Itachi's own destruction of his martial arts to seal his memory of Yono.

In his heart, he believed Yang Nai's words about 60% to 70%, so he thought he had come up with a choice that would make everyone happy.

"Uchiha Itachi..."

The expression on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face had never been so tired, and it seemed that even the wrinkles on his face had deepened a little. He sighed softly.

"You've let me down. Can you tell me why? Why did you betray the village?"

Itachi said bitterly;

"I have my own reasons. Lord Hokage, but I promise you that I will use my life to heal the pain that the Uchiha clan has brought to Konoha, and let the Hokage of Konoha fall into the hands of a ninja who truly possesses the spirit of the Will of Fire."

"Huh? What?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyelids twitched. Could it be that in the Konoha Ninja Village, he, the Hokage, should be the only one who had the right to interpret the Will of Fire?

Why did Itachi sound like he, a little brat of the Uchiha family, could decide whose will of fire was stronger than others?

Then let the person with the strongest will of fire be the Hokage?

Is this a big deal? !

When will the Uchiha clan have the final say on the Will of Fire? Don't you have any idea of ​​what happened to Uchiha Shisui, the descendant of Uchiha Kagami? Well, although you Uchiha clan members also like to play with fire.

No matter what he thought, facing Itachi's abdication, the Sandaime Hokage's forehead was still covered with cold sweat. After half a night of continuous operations, his own strength became weaker and weaker, while the opponent's trump cards continued to be used, and many of them were not used.

Until now, he didn't even dare to use his true form to face Uchiha Fugaku, for fear of being hit by his Kotoamatsukami.

Itachi's betrayal made him, who had originally had the upper hand in the battle with Fugaku, have to face three powerful enemies at the same time. He looked around, looking for a chance of winning on the battlefield.

Finally, one of his shadow clones pointed a finger at Uchiha Haruno and angrily shouted;

"Uchiha Itachi, are you going to go along with someone like her who devalues ​​Konoha and the Will of Fire? Just think about it, if such a person controls Konoha, what will Konoha become? Don't you understand in your heart?"

Poor our Third Hokage, he had to use mouth-to-mouth attack in a hurry.

When he said this, Yang No had been on guard beside him, fearing that the Third Generation might be in a desperate situation. If he used the trick of Sealing the Shiki, she would have to be prepared in advance.

At this time, Itachi looked painful after hearing the words of the Third Hokage;

"I'm sorry, but I have my reasons for doing this."

Yang Noya immediately interrupted and said, "Hokage-sama, you always like to talk about the Will of Fire. I would like to ask you, the Hokage, what is the Will of Fire?"

Her words seemed to trigger the robot's keywords.

Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them again, and chanted slowly with a solemn expression;

"Wherever the leaves of a tree dance, there is fire..."

"Stop, stop, stop." Yang Noi quickly made a pause gesture and interrupted the Hokage's casting.

Sarutobi Hiruzen glared at Uchiha Haruno with dissatisfaction. In his previous impression of girls, Haruno was a very weird eldest lady of the Uchiha family.

He didn't go to the battlefield, didn't do any missions, didn't go to school, and graduated with excellent grades. It seemed that he could have learned everything by himself with a tutor, and even joined the police force system in the end.

He had expected this kind of person to disrespect the village rules, but he had never expected that the girl's hostility towards the village would be so great.

He said dissatisfiedly, "People like you naturally don't care about the Will of Fire."

Yang No's expression was mocking, and he immediately entered keyboard warrior mode.

"Hokage-sama, may I ask what kind of people are 'people like me'? Are they the ordinary ninjas of Konoha who, like me, have no connection with the Hokage in terms of their parents, relatives, or teachers?"
