Konoha's Itachi Reappearance

Chapter 137 The Third Hokage
132 chapter

"How about it, Izumi Uchiha, as Konoha's ninja, are you willing to be like them and give everything to protect the village?"

Danzo looked at Izumi, whose expression fluctuated violently, and knew that her heart had been shaken.

At this time, Izumi didn't dare to look directly into Danzo's eyes. She looked at the "root" ninja kneeling in front of Danzo, and she was in a fierce struggle in her heart.

Obviously, she couldn't make up her mind whether to reject the invitation of this Elder Konoha.

At this moment, Itachi, who was standing beside him, suddenly reached out and took her hand.

Izumi's pupils dilated slightly, his body felt like an electric shock, and he looked at Itachi.

Itachi shook his head at Quan, and said, "You don't have to respond to Danzo-sama."

"Uchiha Itachi!!"

Seeing Itachi intervened in the temptation of Izumi, Danzo stared at Itachi, and his voice became low.

"Danzo-sama, I respect you and these ninjas who are secretly guarding the village."

Itachi looked directly into Danzo's eyes and said, "But I think you are trying to force your will on others by recruiting members of the "root" department in this way."

"I won't interfere with Quan's choice, but at least I think the selection process should be fair."

As he said that, Itachi turned his head to look at the girl beside him, and there was tenderness in his eyes, and said: "Quan, I hope you understand that darkness and light are always relative."

"Indeed, we should not only have light in our hearts, but ignore the darkness."

"But... if you are in the dark, you can't lose the light in your heart."

"Whatever choice you make, I want you to keep this in mind."

Itachi held Izumi's palm unconsciously with some force.

Because at this moment, there was a trace of tension in his heart.
At the same time, Itachi looked at Danzo, his eyes drooping slightly.

In those dark eyes, I don't know what kind of emotion is surging.

Quan looked at Itachi who was completely different from usual, and she could really feel the warmth from Itachi's palm.

In her hesitant eyes, any uneasiness and restlessness instantly calmed down.

Quan raised his eyes, looked at Danzo, and said, "Master Danzo, I think the ninjas in the roots are great, but... please forgive my selfishness, I still can't give up everything."

"My mother's health has always been poor. After I became a ninja, the people she worried about changed from father to two. I couldn't leave her behind."

"Besides, I am also reluctant to part with my teacher and my companions, so I cannot agree to your request."

Izumi bowed deeply to Danzo, and she looked sideways at Itachi, with words echoing in her heart.

【Itachi, I won't leave you alone anymore, let's protect the village, family, and companions together! 】

Seeing that the hesitation in Quan's expression suddenly disappeared, Danzo understood
He lost to Itachi, and Danzo thought he had enough confidence to lure Izumi's actions, but because of Itachi's few words, Izumi's inner thoughts were strengthened.

In other words, Itachi understands people's hearts better than him, at least understands Quan's thoughts better than him.

"Master Danzo, since Izumi has made his own choice, if there is nothing else, we will leave first."

Itachi said, the words fell, and his eyes stayed on Danzo for a while.

When he looked back, a trace of disdain was wiped from the bottom of his eyes.

Although it is to achieve the purpose in his heart, as a high-level Konoha, Danzo uses such despicable methods against the ninjas in his village, which is really detrimental to his status.

He knows that "Root" has always been the target that the Fourth Hokage wants to deal with, but he hasn't found a reason to directly order it to disband.

As for the matter of Danzo summoning Itachi and Izumi, even if Hokage knew about it, it was at best a conversation with a lot of direction.

"Farewell."

Quan also said to Danzo, and then prepared to leave with Itachi.

Danzo stood where he was, his old face trembling
He was rejected by Itachi and Izumi one after another, especially because he couldn't control Itachi. In Danzo's perception, this would pose a huge threat.

Seeing that Danzo didn't respond and that he was obviously thinking about something, showing a strange expression on his face, Itachi gradually became alert.

Today's meeting should not only be initiated by Danzang alone, but also include the will of the other two elders.

If Danzo was alone, he wouldn't dare to do anything out of fear of the Fourth Hokage.
But the prejudices of the three senior officials of the village towards Uchiha have been accumulated for decades, and even though the Fourth Hokage has changed a lot now that they have come to power, it is precisely because of this that they feel even more dissatisfied.

And at this moment, when Danzo was still hesitating, the "root" member in front of him locked Itachi and Izumi with his eyes.

Itachi took a step forward and stood in front of Quan, confronting the "root" person from afar.

He tried his best not to reveal his full strength here, because it would only deepen the suspicion of Danzo and the other two high-level officials.

"Danzo, what are you doing?"

At this moment, another voice sounded from outside the hall.

When the voice reached the ears of Itachi and the others, in front of Izumi, there was already a slightly stooped figure with an inexplicably majestic back.

"Three Generations of Hokage."

Itachi noticed the coming person earlier than Danzo, and he was 100% sure of the identity of the old man with white hair at the temples just by his voice and figure.

The third generation of Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen!

"Day cut."

When Danzo saw the old man who came suddenly in front of him, his eyes gradually darkened.

With the strength of the third generation, it is impossible to see through the tense atmosphere in this hall.

Itachi had already relaxed when he appeared, though.

This is because Itachi knows that although the third generation is not as fair as the fourth generation in his attitude towards Uchiha, he absolutely does not agree with Danzo's approach.

Danzo didn't respond to Sandai, Sandai glanced at Itachi and Izumi behind him, then looked at Danzo and said, "Does Minato know that you brought the two of them to the headquarters of Root?"

Seeing that Danzo still didn't speak, Sandai already had the answer in his heart.

"Let them go."

The third generation stared at Danzo with a serious look, his tone was slightly low.

Danzo hesitated for a while, and waved his hand lightly.

"Take them away."

Swish!
Immediately, the "root" member in front of him came to Itachi and Izumi.

"Master Hokage!?"

Quan also finally recognized the third generation in front of him, because retirement did not appear often in these years, so some newcomers in the village did not know the third generation.

"Let's go."

Itachi was still holding Quan's hand, and gently tugged, saying.

Although Izumi was surprised by the sudden appearance of Sandai Hokage here, she understood that it was best to leave here as soon as possible.

Under the leadership of the "root" people, Izumi and Itachi walked out of the hall.

As soon as the two stepped out, Itachi heard the extremely low voice of the Third Hokage behind him.

"You can no longer manipulate the "root" privately to do some outrageous things!"

(The air conditioner in my house is not cool at all, so my head is almost dizzy, so if there is a logic problem, please ask everyone, and I will change it when I come back to life tomorrow.)
