Konoha's Itachi Reappearance

Chapter 136 Contradictory Heart

131 chapter

"Weasel?"

Behind the boy, Izumi next to Anbe also raised his eyebrows, and he saw Itachi clearly standing in front of the path he was walking on.

"Danzo-sama, Izumi Uchiha brought it here."

The members of the "Root" department who brought Quan into the hall dodged in front of Danzo, knelt down on one knee, and said respectfully.

"Ah."

Danzo nodded slightly, then raised his eyes and looked at Itachi.

Itachi also turned around and looked at Danzo, and a gloomy color gradually emerged from the bottom of those eyes that seemed calm from the beginning.

He rejected Danzo just now, and the members of the "root" department brought Quan in. Obviously, this was designed by Danzo early in the morning to coerce Itachi into submission.

Danzo couldn't lure Itachi to join "Root", so he started to use the people around him to achieve his goal.

In Itachi's memory, this is Danzo's usual method.

As if seeing through the expression in Itachi's eyes, Danzo's eyes flickered with a slight hint of success.

In Danzo's eyes, Itachi is indeed a genius who is comparable to Shisui, or even surpasses Shisui.

Itachi's thinking is extremely rigorous, and he can almost think about things imperceptibly.

Therefore, the threat and value of Itachi in his eyes have already exceeded expectations.

Therefore, even if the method he uses today will damage his face as a high-level Konoha, he must let Itachi join the "root".

As long as Itachi himself agrees, even if his father Fugaku and Hokage know what happened today, they can't do anything to him.

Danzo looked away from Itachi and landed on Izumi.

Seeing Danzo looking over, Izumi frowned slightly.

Because whether it is the environment of the "root" headquarters or Danzang, it will bring people a very uncomfortable feeling.

However, Quan still bowed respectfully to Danzo and said, "Master Danzo, hello."

Whether seeing Hokage in the Uchiha clan or after becoming a ninja, Izumi's ninja career has never saluted like a member of the "root" department.

Therefore, Quan's posture is already the greatest courtesy she knows to her superiors.

This is also the result of Minato's deliberate creation. He wants to minimize the unequal relationship that sometimes exists in the communication between the village ninjas because of their different levels.

And Minato had such an idea, not from him, but from the third Hokage who will be passed on to him after the third Ninja World War.

"I heard that in the task of escorting the client of the Stone Kingdom some time ago, although you are a newcomer, you performed quite well."

Danzo looked at Quan and said that he didn't struggle with Itachi about etiquette as he did just now.

Hearing this, Quan straightened up, and at the same time glanced at Itachi standing beside him from the corner of his eye.

Because she was still thinking, as one of the village's high-level elders, who usually doesn't show up in front of people, why would he suddenly order someone to bring her to such a place.

And listening to what Danzang said, is it because of the mission a few days ago?
She looked at Danzo and replied: "I just finished my job as a ninja, and I'm still far behind anyone in the team."

"Ha ha."

Danzo chuckled, then said, "Very good."

"I heard that you have already opened Sharingan, and you still have such a peaceful mind, which is already much stronger than the so-called geniuses of some big clans in the village."

"I am very optimistic about your talent, so now I want to invite you to join the "root" department as the village elder and high-level."

He said exactly the same words as when he was talking to Itachi just now, but when the words drifted down, those eagle-like eyes were always on Itachi's body.

"What's that?"

Quan asked, and at the same time, she also faintly noticed that although Danzo seemed to be recruiting herself, her attention was always focused on Itachi next to her.

Although he didn't understand the situation, Kequan saw Itachi's slightly tense face out of the corner of his eye, and realized that the situation was not simple.

"At the root, there are all people like him."

Danzo lowered his eyes and made a slight gesture to the root member who was kneeling in front of him. The latter got up and turned to face Itachi and Izumi.

"He was once a member of Konoha Ninja just like you."

"But in the village, not only ninjas like you are needed, there are many tasks that cannot be performed with your current appearance."

"These tasks need to be completed by someone, otherwise the village will be in crisis."

"So, as Konoha's ninja, in order to protect the village, many people like him abandoned their past, future, emotion, name and even existence."

"Before today, you should have never heard of them, but these people, like you, use their own strength and sacrifice their lives to protect this village."

"The village is a big tree, and they are the roots entrenched in the dark soil."

Danzo said firmly, like a priest who was preaching, speaking inflammatory words.

These words may sound nothing to ordinary people, but Quan has been working hard to become a ninja since he was a child, and he has seen his father silently contribute to the village all these years.

However, among ninjas, those who can be famous in the ninja world are always very few.

Most ninjas are unknown, but at least there are fellow Konoha ninjas who know of their existence.

However, just as Danzo said, before today, she had never heard of "roots", let alone such a group of people guarding the village secretly.

Compared with ninjas like her, these unknown ninjas are more respectable.

"Danzo this guy"

Itachi looked at Danzo with gloomy eyes. He knew very well that with the latter's experience, there were plenty of ways to lure a newcomer like Izumi who had just graduated from ninja school to join "Root".

And his purpose was to use Quan to force Itachi to agree to his invitation just now.

In fact, in Itachi's heart, he does not deny the existence of "root" and this kind of ninja, because he is most aware of the darkness of the village, and also knows that there must be such a group of people to eliminate potential hidden dangers that threaten existence.

The reason why Kequan was recruited by Danzo is all because of him
Although no matter what the final result is, the choice is made by Izumi himself, but Itachi is hard to imagine and accept it in his heart, and Izumi may become a ninja in the "root".

Only then did Itachi really realize that in the process of getting along with each other these years, he has gotten used to the girl who is always by his side.

Rationality tells Itachi that whether it is an ordinary Konoha ninja or a "root" ninja, it has its meaning of existence, and one should not judge the quality of the two because of some subjective factors.

However, itachi's inner sensibility was gradually overpowering his rationality.

Itachi couldn't accept it, and the gentle smile on the girl's face disappeared from then on, turning into a cold killer with no emotion in her heart.
(The plot direction of this chapter may disappoint some readers, but why do you think Itachi will directly fight with Danzo)
