Blacksmiths from Hokage

Chapter 33
The New Year's Day in Naruto World is similar to that of Neon in the previous life. The preparations for the event were basically started a few days ago. On the New Year's day, it was idle.

Everyone flocked to the streets to play, old people, adults, children...

The streets were full of laughter and joy.

At night, the atmosphere reaches its climax as fireworks burst into the sky.

People looked up to the sky one by one, watching fireworks of different colors and shapes blooming in the sky, with smiles on their faces.

After that, the fireworks dwindled and people began to parade.

Adults and children wear masks and play in the bustling streets.

Lanterns, fireworks, masks...

Cheers and laughter make up this festive day.

Kurayoshi and Naruto also joined the crowd to join in the fun.

Especially Naruto, who also held two fire whips in his hand, lit and swayed, and drew a circle of bonfires, attracting countless children to watch.

Kurayoshi didn't like making noises, so he stood to watch from a distance.

I was thinking about itachi.

He said yesterday to start action today.

It's already night, the peak of the Spring Festival, and the time when people relax their vigilance the most.

If you want to act, there is only now.

Will he be okay?
"Cangji, there's a circle over there, let's go and have a look!"

In the distance, Naruto's voice woke Kurayoshi.

He looked up and saw that the fire whip in Naruto's hand had burned out, and now he was looking at a stall in front of him surrounded by many people.

During the Chinese New Year, there are many more game booths.

"Okay, let's go and have a look!" Cangji nodded and followed Naruto over.

No matter what he does, I just have to live my life well.

……

Unlike the lively streets, the Hokage Building at this time was very quiet.

After the Chinese New Year, the office staff and ninjas are also on vacation, and only one or two guards on duty are still there.

Of course, Sarutobi Hiizan was also there.

As Hokage, he has a lot to do.

In particular, the contradiction between Uchiha and the village has deepened, making the already busy official business even more onerous.

Although it was the Spring Festival at this time, he had to stay in the Hokage Building to work overtime.

Under the light, Hiruzaru Sarutobi was reviewing documents.

Suddenly, the lights flickered, and when it returned to normal, there was already one more person in the office.

Dressed in Anbu costume, wearing a civet cat mask, he was half-kneeling in front of the desk.

Sarutobi raised his head, shifted his gaze from the document to this figure that suddenly appeared, and the frown became more wrinkled.

"Itachi, came to me at this time, what happened?"

Although wearing a mask and bowing his head, Sarutobi still recognized the identity of Anbu in front of him from his breath.

only……

As a double-faced agent, he was constantly delivering information between Uchiha and the village, and he suddenly came to find himself during the Spring Festival holiday...

This made Sarutobi have a bad feeling in his heart.

Could it be that Uchiha...

In his thoughts, Itachi raised his head, and a pair of blood-red pupils had a hexagonal diamond shape, like a snowflake-like shape spinning rapidly.

The surrounding environment suddenly became illusory, as if reality and dream alternated.

Sarutobi looked left and right calmly, his face gradually serious.

He put the documents in his hand back on the table, then took out his pipe and lit it, took a deep breath, and then let it out slowly, his old face was covered with a layer of sadness.

"Itachi, do you know what it means for Hokage to shoot?"

"Betraying the village." Itachi replied without the slightest emotion.

Sarutobi looked at Itachi, who was half-kneeling in front of the desk, his turbid eyes flickered slightly. Uchiha Itachi's growth process turned in his mind, and his personality, character, pursuit, and belief emerged one by one.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled, "I believe you will not betray the village."

"I didn't intend to betray the village."

No plans, that is, don't mind betrayal if necessary?

Sarutobi pondered Itachi's answer in his mind.

And Itachi looked straight at him generously, and continued: "Yue Du, can pull the consciousness of others into a world completely constructed by spirit. In this world, time and space are controlled by me, no matter how long it is here. , there is only a moment outside, so it cannot be released by ordinary means.”

"This kind of illusion, and that strange Sharingan, Itachi..." Sarutobi looked at him in surprise.

"That's right, this is a kaleidoscope writing wheel eye." Itachi said in a low voice: "Zhishui found me after Danzang took away one eye, and he entrusted the remaining eye to me, hoping that I can be peaceful. Resolved the conflict between the family and the village, and then committed suicide by jumping into the river in front of me."

Hearing Itachi mention Shisui, Sarutobi's mood also became heavy.

He lowered his gaze, stared at the desk, and sighed, "I'm sorry about Zhishui, but..."

"I don't have any unusual thoughts. Apart from Shisui's sadness, I have been thinking about how to resolve the conflict between the family and the village." Itachi interrupted Sarutobi's words.

Although he was half-kneeling in front of Sarutobi, his eyes did not retreat in the slightest, "Shisui's death has awakened me with the same eyes as his, no, it should be stronger eyes, except for my unique pupil technique. , also awakened the same pupil technique as him."

"Could it be that..." Sarutobi looked at Itachi in shock, his old and stooped body trembling slightly.

"That's right, it's other gods."

Itachi admitted generously, although some facts were not what he said.

Sure enough!

Sarutobi's cloudy eyes widened slightly.

Although I had such a guess when I heard Itachi mention it, I couldn't help but gasp when I heard Itachi admit it.

It is really too BUG for this technique.

As long as you know the existence of this technique, and know that the person who masters this technique has appeared in front of you, you can't help but wonder if your mind has been changed and whether you have been manipulated.

But Sarutobi is indeed the longest-reigning Hokage, and is very good at controlling emotions. Except for the strangeness just now, there is no surprise on his face at the news.

He looked at Itachi silently, and after a while, he asked, "Do you want to use other gods on me?"

"I have already used it for my family, and it will take more than ten years to use it again." Itachi said lightly.

Sarutobi breathed a deep sigh of relief, and his restless heart was a little calmer because of the other gods.

At the same time, Itachi's words mean that the conflict between Uchiha and the village can be resolved peacefully, and the burden that has been pressing on his heart has been relaxed a lot.

But facing the person in front of him, Sarutobi felt deeply guilty, but at the same time very pleased.

Although it is Uchiha, he perfectly integrates the will of fire. Perhaps the new era of Konoha will be provoked by him.

If possible, he also hopes to see Uchiha's avatar left on Hokage Cliff.

Sarutobi thought to himself, but his face showed full apology, "I'm sorry, this should have been done by me as Hokage, but in the end I had to make Uchiha sacrifice his own interests to give in."

"You don't need to apologize to me, I didn't let the family go backwards." Itachi shook his head gently, "Uchiha did nothing wrong, there is no reason for them to be treated like this, and to resolve the conflict between the family and the village peacefully, the village is needed. make concessions."
