Konoha's Itachi Reappearance

Chapter 402 Itachi's Speculation
397 chapter

The night shrouded the earth, and above the sky at this time, dark clouds drifted past, covering the moonlight.

The air in the entire valley gradually became darker and colder.

hum!
Itachi was holding the specially shaped Flying Thunder God Kunai, and he slowly squeezed the handle tightly, and a faint white glow suddenly radiated from the special lines.
A few seconds later, with a "swish", the blond man in the royal robe flashed beside Itachi.

"Has the investigation been completed?"

Minato looked sideways at Itachi beside him and asked.

Immediately afterwards, his eyes swept around, his golden brows raised slightly, and he murmured softly in his heart: "This is not within the Kingdom of Iron."

Although the moving distance of Flying Thunder God Art is not limited by space, the farther the moving distance is, the greater the Chakra consumption will be.

As Hokage, Minato's body cannot easily leave the village, so what appeared next to Itachi was just a shadow clone.

After moving over, the shadow clone can clearly feel that the consumption of chakra is higher than that of moving to the land of iron.

Moreover, during the third Ninja World War, the five major ninja nations had been stalemate on various fronts for several years, and at that time, Minato used time and space ninjutsu to travel across various battlefields.

Especially the battlefield against Yunnin.

"The border between the Kingdom of the Moon and the Kingdom of Thunder?"

Therefore, although Minato didn't have a deep impression of this valley, he would never forget the border area between the Moon Country and the Thunder Country.

After quickly making these judgments in his heart, Minato suddenly had layers of doubts.

He fixed his eyes on Itachi, waiting for an answer.

Itachi nodded and said: "I think you have already observed that this is the border between the Kingdom of the Moon and the Kingdom of Thunder."

At this time, Itachi's face had a rare solemn expression.

"I found it all the way here based on the clues provided by the elders in the family of the boy who owns the thousand-handed secret art scroll in the country of iron."

He immediately spoke out the information he had collected so far.

After Minato listened, the thoughts in his heart were almost the same as those of Itachi before.

"So, after surveying this valley, what conclusion did you come to?" Minato's expression was equally serious.

Because of the weird feeling, it also crawled into his heart.

Itachi replied in a deep voice: "In this valley, I found many traces of ninjutsu that were deliberately erased, and the time that the traces existed was very close to the time when the old man from the Iron Country picked up the scroll. .”

Seeing is believing, Itachi immediately brought Minato to the place where he observed the abnormality earlier.

Minato does not have Sharingan, so its insight is far inferior to Itachi's. However, these traces of deliberate movement are difficult to see in ordinary observation, but if you pay special attention, you can still see the problem.

The two traveled to several places in the valley, and Shuimen also saw the place that had been deliberately moved with his own eyes.

"Why is it here?"

The blue eyes gradually narrowed, and he murmured.

Itachi and Minato have the same intelligence, and in many things, the two people's way of thinking is also very similar.

Therefore, after observing all this, Minato also smelled a conspiracy.

"Itachi, do you have anything to say?"

When he was full of doubts, Minato glanced at Itachi, who was frowning with a solemn expression.

Apparently he had things he could say but couldn't open his mouth to say.

"There's nothing else we can't say between you and me."

Minato smiled, and put his hand on Itachi's shoulder.

When Itachi was reborn not long ago, in order to change the history of the village being attacked by the Nine Tails, he even told him his biggest secret, which can be said to have given him the greatest trust.

All these years, Minato has been hiding nothing from him and putting the same trust in him.

"What I want to say is all speculation."

Itachi said, before taking out Kunai to find Minato, he had been thinking here for a long time.

"A speculation based on certain evidence may be the truth."

Minato sighed. For the sake of finding out the matter, the traces on the cliffs on both sides of the valley must be regarded as clues, but after all, decades have passed.

Too much time has passed, so so far, all they can do is to use these to try to speculate.

"Ah."

On this point, Minato's thoughts coincided with Itachi's, Itachi nodded and said: "First of all, the location, this valley cannot be found on the map of the ninja world, and in terms of the terrain, it is very easy to find it. Set up an ambush."

Minato's eyes were fixed. There were many traces of ninjutsu that had been deliberately erased in this valley, and the old man from the Iron Country said that the scroll was picked up from the cracks in the valley.

Therefore, it is almost certain that, decades ago, someone set up an ambush here against the members of the Thousand Hands Clan.

It's just why the people of Qianshou came to the border between the Kingdom of the Moon and the Kingdom of Thunder.

Itachi continued: "Actually, what interests me the most is the time when this incident happened. According to the old man, he picked up the scroll about 45 years ago."

"The scroll fell into the crevice of the valley, so the people who erased the traces of the battle missed something, but I have seen that scroll. The time when the old man picked up the scroll and the time when the battle took place here will not be too long."

If the scroll was dropped in the crevices for a long time before being picked up, it must have been eroded by nature, such as being soaked by rain.

But according to Itachi's observation, there is no such trace on the scroll.

"About 45 years ago, the Land of Thunder, in this time period"

Minato murmured, and then something suddenly sounded, and said in surprise: "The end of the first Ninja World War!"

About 40 years ago, due to the death of the first Hokage, the fragile balance between the five ninja kingdoms that had just been established for more than ten years was destroyed.

A war broke out between countries due to land and resource issues. That was the first large-scale war in the history of the ninja world, known as the first ninja world war in history.

The first ninja war lasted for about two years.

In the war, the five major ninja nations suffered huge impacts and losses, so they had to stop fighting.

And the battle with the greatest loss in World War I was the death of the second generation of Tukage and the second generation of Mizukage.
The death of the shadows of various countries is self-evident to the impact on Yannin Village and Wuyin Village.

Yet the toll of the war did not end there.

However, shortly after the five major ninja nations had entered the truce stage, a major event that shocked the ninja world still occurred.

At the end of the First Ninja World War, at the alliance ceremony between Yunin Village and Konoha, the rebel Jin Yinjiao brothers of Yunin Village raided the alliance ceremony.

The second Raikage of Cloud Ninja Village was killed on the spot
The second generation of Hokage was also hunted down by the Jin Yinjiao brothers and their elite troops.

In order to cover the retreat of the fashionable and young Third Hokage and several high-level advisers in the village today, the Second Hokage chose to be single to distract the powerful enemy and sacrificed his life.
