Konoha's Itachi Reappearance

Chapter 79 Conversation
Chapter 77

There was a glint in the old man's cloudy eyes.

Others can't see it, but Itachi's movements in the training ground cannot be hidden from his eyes.

As long as Itachi is willing, he can defeat his opponent in one round.

"It was able to hide from the eyes of all the teachers in the ninja school."

The old man's eyes narrowed slightly. This kind of intentional stalemate between the opponent and the situation that other people can't see can only be achieved if he has an insight into all the opponent's intentions in advance.

This is more difficult than defeating the opponent.

He just stared at Itachi until a gentle man's voice sounded behind him.

"Three generations of Hokage-sama."

Minato looked past the old man, and saw the training ground of the ninja school at a glance.

And the person in front of him is none other than Konoha's previous Hokage, the third Hokage—Sarutobi Hiruzen!
"Minato, you're here."

Sandai turned around his slightly hunched body, and when he saw Minato in front of him, the expression on his tense old face gradually relaxed.

Minato nodded respectfully, he was full of respect for the old man in front of him.

Because without his decades of painstaking efforts, it would be absolutely impossible for Konoha to usher in the current situation.

"Are you all right?"

Looking at the sunken eyes of the old man and the deep tiredness in the eyes, Minato couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Within a month, the Third Hokage suddenly aged a lot, and his temples were already gray.

Sandai waved his hand, turned around, and his eyes fell back to the training ground of the ninja school.

"I can understand your desire to change the status quo of the village, but I also hope you understand the thoughts of the other old guys. After all, Uchiha once brought me and them heart-wrenching pain, and it still exists today. "

"I see."

Minato said sternly: "But I feel that even if the pain in my heart still exists, I can't keep increasing it endlessly."

"In this way, it will only breed greater pain. Over the years, Uchiha has suffered a lot of pain. So, I want to change everything from now on."

"What's more, what happened in the past has nothing to do with people in the future."

"And since the generation of Hokage and the others have put aside the grievances of the past, this has brought together the two parties that were originally impossible to unite, and this is how the present world of Konoha and Ninja comes into being. Why can't we learn from the predecessors? What about your spirit?"

"But you should also know what happened after the establishment of the village, right?" Sandai looked into Minato's eyes, feeling a little fluctuating.

"Well, yes, the risk of change is high."

Minato's expression became serious, and he said: "So, as Hokage, what I need to do now is to control the change and the price it needs to pay in my own hands, and I can't let it go halfway!"

"Control? Are you sure you can control it?" Sandai asked rhetorically.

"It's not a question of whether I'm sure, but to prevent the pain and hatred from accumulating and causing irreparable consequences in the future, I can only do this."

"Who can fully predict what will happen in the future?"

Even he didn't dare to make any promises to the old man in front of him now.

"Also, change cannot be accomplished by me alone, what is needed is the cooperation and mutual understanding between everyone."

"Just like the expectation that Mr. Jiraiya told me, one day, the era of mutual understanding between people will come."

"I also believe so firmly!"

"You are really naive." The third generation's face trembled, and he couldn't help laughing.

"maybe."

Minato shrugged.

"but."

"Even my own thoughts were so naive, so what right do I have to question your thoughts?"

Three generations laughed at themselves, and the words were full of regret.

He looked at Minato and said with a faint smile, "But it's a good thing, when I made the most important decision, fortunately, I didn't get confused and didn't choose him, but chose you."

"In the past few years, you have worked hard."

Sandai said apologetically that although he handed over the position of Hokage to Minato, he did not hand over all the rights from beginning to end.

Although he did not have any malice in doing so, it put a lot of pressure on Minato.

The third generation felt that it was time for him to give all his trust to Minato just like his predecessor Hokage trusted him.

After all, he has chosen to hand over his future to Minato.

"Are you planning to recruit that child into Anbu in the future?"

Sandai put his hands behind his back and turned to look at the ninja school. At this time, Itachi and Kimura Yuki's sparring had ended for a while.

In the crowd, Itachi stood quietly, but there were many people around him.

"I did have that thought."

Minato smiled lightly and said, "But now, I don't intend to do this anymore."

"What's the reason?" Sandai asked.

"You should have seen the reason from the beginning. I don't want him to be a target of close attention or even surveillance by other elders like Zhishui," said Minato.

Sandai nodded, he had already observed that Itachi was a genius no less talented than Shisui.

Even ideologically, Itachi is much more mature than Shisui of the same age.

Minato once promised Itachi that he would not deliberately tell about him, but Sandai was Hokage after all, and there are some things that cannot be hidden from him.

"What's more, I don't want Anbu's environment to affect the child's character development."

Minato's eyes drooped slightly, and said: "When Kakashi was recruited into Anbu, he was originally intended to let him gradually forget about that matter when he was carrying out his mission, but after a few years, instead of unraveling his knot in his heart, his mind has become more serious. more heavy"

"is it?"

Sandai nodded, but he still had doubts in his eyes looking at Itachi.

But the reason why he is here today is not to dissuade or interfere with Minato's judgment.

Because Sandai believes that Minato will have his own judgment.

Since he can risk his life to protect the village, he will never allow any situation that endangers the village to happen.

Third turned around, stared at Minato from the corner of his eyes, and said slowly: "Since we have reached this point, Fourth Generation, I will entrust everything to you from now on."

"From now on, Anbu, which belongs directly to me, will also be under your control, so you can rest assured to exercise your authority as Hokage."

"For the other old guys, I will find a way for you, but I don't think even I can change their thinking that has been maintained for decades."

"Thank you."

Minato bowed deeply towards the old man who was facing away from him.

Because the three generations have done so, they have given him the greatest trust.

"Change, after all, needs time and reality to confirm. I believe you will be able to complete it very well."

The third generation chuckled, then left alone with a somewhat lonely back.

Minato watched him go, turned around slowly, and glanced at the children in the training ground.

They are the future of Konoha.

Swish!
As the breeze blew, Minato's imperial robe swayed slightly, and the next moment, his figure suddenly disappeared.
