Naruto's Struggle of Fate

Chapter 48
the base of the root.

Danzo leaned on a cane and stood aside.The medical ninja at the root carefully inspected Zhishui's body. After being soaked in water, the body was a little swollen.

"My lord!" Asada bowed his head, holding a glass vessel in both hands, and carefully presented it to Danzo, "Shisui's Sharingan, please take a look!"

Aoba was wearing a mask, standing quietly by the side, not looking sideways.He spent a whole day searching for Shisui's body, the mountain was steep and the water was swift, thanks to the ninja's body having cultivated Chakra, otherwise what was placed on the ground would be a mass of rotten flesh.

Danzo took the glass bottle, held it in front of his eyebrows, stared at it for a long time, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his brows frowned, "Aoba, when you found Shisui's body, was there anything unusual?"

"Anomaly?" Aoba's tone was taken aback, and she was taken aback, "My lord, there is nothing abnormal. I was the first person to find Zhishui's body."

Aoba's tone was flat, without the slightest bit of nervousness, as if she didn't want to lie.He was indeed the first person to find Zhishui's body. When Itachi left, Zhishui might not have died completely!
"The eyes are the eyes of Sharingan, but they have lost their pupil power!" Danzo pondered in his heart, "The ninjas of the Uchiha clan, after a certain period of time after death, the power of Sharingan will dissipate. I didn't expect the usual gentle stop The water is so strong that it jumped to the Wanren Stream and died, no wonder Qingye!"

Danzo was a little disappointed that he didn't get the expected result, threw the glass bottle to Asada, and left, "Follow the old rules!"

Aoba let out a sigh of relief, it was not easy to fool Danzo, he took a lot of effort to find the single eye in a shallow bay.

"Captain Aoba, what's next?" Asada straightened up and asked without Danzo.Gen's old rules can be cremation, or leaving the corpse as an experimental subject. Asada is afraid of taking responsibility and dare not make up his mind casually.

"After all, Shisui is a root ninja, let's be cremated!" Aoba thought for a moment, thinking that Danzo's meaning should be cremated.In this sensitive period, Gen's strength has been greatly damaged. Danzo will not choose to insult Shisui's body. If Uchiha finds out, it will inevitably cause some waves.Uchiha Kagami has made contributions to the village, and everyone is a brother. Even if Sarutobi and Danzo don’t care about the old feelings, they can’t live too much. Spread the word and let those ninjas who have made contributions to the village think about it.

While Danzo was solving the problem left over from the water stop, Sarutobi was listening to Itachi's mission report in Anbu's underground base.

"In order to reduce the mutual killing of Konoha, Iwagakure, and Yunyin, I tried my best to make both parties agree to a competition. The winner stays, and the loser withdraws. Temari, Fengling, Riho, Kubozuka and I won and entered the Xuezhi Temple. See It was Xuezhi Xianren. Later..." Itachi looked up at Sarutobi, hesitated, and continued, "Later, the ninja Kubozuka sent by Gen suddenly attacked, and I was seriously injured. For some reason, I was taken away. I entered a strange pool and fell asleep there, and after waking up and returning to the ninja world, I realized that I had been sleeping for three years."

"Well, I understand the situation!" Yuan Fei lightly nodded.Sarutobi already knew about Kubozuka's attack on Itachi, but it was Danzo's order. What can he do? I can only blame Danzo for being too impatient to eat hot tofu.

"Have you got the psychic scroll?" Sarutobi asked, this was the question he was most concerned about.

Sarutobi didn't mention Itachi's surprise attack at all, and obviously didn't want to pursue it any further.Itachi suppressed his dissatisfaction and replied, "Yes, I got it."

Before summoning Itachi, Sarutobi had some anticipation in his heart, and with Itachi's own admission, a hint of emotion flashed across his usually calm face.Stuffing out the fire in the pipe and putting it on the table, Yuan Fei leaned forward slightly and asked, "What is the grade of the psychic beast?"

The information brought back by Risui and the others was incomplete and detailed. The Xuezhi Immortal did not accept psychics, and they did not see the psychic form of the Xuezhibee at all.Sarutobi wants to know the level of the psychic beast, if the level is too low, there is no need to fight; but if the level is high, Sarutobi does not want the ninja of the Uchiha clan to get such a powerful psychic beast, even if he thinks he can Controlling the ferret is also not allowed.

"It's not as good as the psychic beasts in the three holy places, but it's not much worse!" These are not easy to fool, Itachi decided to tell the truth, "But you can't perform psychics for a short time. After the queen bee of the blood baby bee is born, It is necessary to double repair with the queen bee and give birth to offspring, so that there will be a sufficient number of blood baby bees to sign psychic contracts with ninjas."

Sarutobi stared at Itachi, feeling satisfied that Itachi had told the truth.Back then, after the psychic beasts of the Three Great Sacred Grounds were subdued, it would take at least a year for them to truly form combat effectiveness.Sarutobi felt that Itachi still had a heart for the village, and he could take advantage of this to instigate him to deal with Uchiha.

"Itachi, can you..." Sarutobi wanted to say, "Would you like to dedicate the psychic scroll to the village", but the door of the secret room was opened at this time. In Anbu, only Aso has this right.Aso would not exercise this privilege at will, Sarutobi swallowed the words in his throat.

Aso pushed open the door, looked at Itachi standing respectfully in the room with complicated eyes, and walked towards Sarutobi's position, holding a dark red scroll specially used by Anbe in his right hand, which indicated the content of the scroll The security level is S level.

"My lord!" Aso stretched out his hands, palms up, and handed over the scroll.

Unfolding the scroll, Sarutobi was stung by the contents: Shisui died, Danzo's base was severely damaged, and more than half of the ninjas were lost.Sarutobi has experienced many storms, and he is not surprised when encountering anything, but under the calm wrinkles, Sarutobi's heart is erupting like a submarine volcano.Danzang simply does not succeed in success but fails in failure.Shisui, in Sarutobi's plan, was used to deal with the Uchiha clan, especially the rumor that Fugaku had awakened the kaleidoscope so that he did not have the confidence to win easily.But now it's a good thing, in order to write Sharingan, Danzo actually started ahead of time, is it so urgent?They are already engaged, and they are going to do something about raping the bride.

The only thing that is beneficial to Sarutobi is that Danzo's root loss is huge, and he will not be so tough in front of Sarutobi in the future, and he will be much smoother when he is used.In this way... Sarutobi seemed to put away the scroll very casually, and made a quick decision.Shisui is gone, Itachi is the best substitute, and his identity is easier to win the trust of the Uchiha clan.

"Itachi, you are ready to become a Jonin!" Sarutobi changed his words.The power of the root is damaged. In a short period of time, Konoha can no longer conflict with Uchiha, and can only appease and win over.Promote Itachi to Jonin, and convey goodwill to Uchiha; as for the psychic beast, so if you want to capture it, you must first completely control Itachi mentally.He has not received the education of the will of fire for a long time, and the advanced nature of Itachi's thinking needs to be investigated. Sarutobi intends to educate himself for a period of time to determine whether Itachi can stand firmly on the opposite side of Uchiha.

"Master Hokage, isn't it too early?" Itachi said in surprise, "I don't have the ability to be a Jonin yet!"

You can't ask for something given by others right away, you have to pretend to postpone it first.Itachi is very humble, acting both surprised and worried.The surprise is that after becoming a Jonin, he has greater authority in Anbu; the worry is that he lacks ability, which is for Sarutobi.

"Not early, not early!" Sarutobi waved his hand, "Kakashi was promoted to Jonin at the age of nine, and you are already 11 years old, so it's decided."

After finishing speaking, he told Aso, "You arrange Itachi's promotion procedure, and then take him to Anbu's library to study hard for a while."

"Thank you Hokage-sama! Itachi is grateful!" Itachi knelt on one knee and thanked him solemnly.

"Itachi, the village values ​​you very much, don't let the village down!" Sarutobi's words were meaningful.

"Yes, Itachi remembers Hokage-sama's teachings!"

Itachi bows again, I won't let the village down, I just let you down.
