Konoha's Peerless Peerless

Chapter 120 Itachi's Top Secret Mission
On the avenue in the south of Konoha, the carriage was speeding at a very high speed, and the Anbu ninja who was following the carriage was desperately urging Chakra to jump crazily.

They had been rushing for a day and a night, and all the ninjas had been on their way since Hiruza Sarutobi decided to return, and the uninterrupted rush made the ninjas feel a little tired.

Of course, the most exhausted ones are the steeds pulling the cart. The black steed is already panting from exhaustion, and its speed is not as fast as it was at the beginning.

Sitting in front of the carriage, Kakashi wearing a mask looked up at the dim yellow sky. It was already dusk, and it seemed that he had to take a rest. If this continued, the ninja and the horse would not be able to hold on.

Thinking of this, Kakashi turned around and knocked on the car door.

"Master Hokage, it's already dusk, stop and rest."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi, who was sitting in the carriage with eyes closed, opened his eyes when he heard Kakashi's voice, and said, "Is it already dusk... If this is the case, then stop and take a short rest, and continue on the road when you recover a bit. We must rush back to Konoha tonight."

"Yes." Kakashi nodded, and then grabbed the rein and pulled the black horse. As soon as he exerted force, the black horse gradually slowed down and stopped.

After the horse stopped, the ninjas from the surrounding trees jumped down and gathered at the side of the carriage. Half of them held Kunai to be vigilant, while the other half used Bingliang pills to restore Chakra.

At this moment, a crow with red sharing eyes suddenly appeared in midair.

"Wow-wow-"

The crow screamed mournfully.

Hearing the cry of the crow, Kakashi raised his head in doubt.

As soon as he raised his head, he saw Sharingan in the crow's eyes. Before he could pull Kunai to attack, the carriage door was opened by Hiruzaru Sarutobi who was sitting inside.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi grabbed Kakashi with his wrinkled hands, shook his head slightly, and then said: "You and everyone stay here, I will be back soon after I go out."

"Hokage-sama..." Hearing that Sarutobi Hiruzen was about to go out, Kakashi hurriedly shouted.

"Don't worry about me, I understand that child." Hiruzaru Sarutobi's cloudy eyes had a rare gleam of light, he nodded to Kakashi and then picked up Chakra and jumped into the forest.

Seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi leave suddenly, those Anbu ninjas wanted to get up and follow, just when they were running their chakra to catch up, Kakashi who jumped out of the carriage stretched out his hand to stop him: "Stop, Guard the carriage and wait for Hokage-sama."

"...Yes." Although Anbu Ninja was puzzled, he still nodded in agreement.

They returned to where they were originally standing one after another, and when they returned to their original positions, Kakashi got up and jumped to the top of the carriage. He looked at the crow hovering in mid-air without blinking his eyes.

While Kakashi was looking at the crow, the crow was also staring at him closely. Through ninjutsu, everything the crow saw was synchronously returned to Itachi's eyes.

Standing in the depths of the jungle, Itachi took a few glances at Kakashi, then cut off the ninjutsu and took the crow back. After the crow at Kakashi's place turned into smoke, Itachi turned his attention to running towards this side. Hiruza Sarutobi who came over.

Although Itachi now has a kaleidoscope and has achieved a breakthrough in strength, he is still a little surprised when he perceives Sarutobi Hiruzen's Chakra. Compared with Sarutobi Hiruzen, his Chakra is like Xiaohe and Okawa. There is a huge gap between the two , it seems that he is still a little weak.

Itachi clenched his fist slightly, but quickly let go.

The moment Itachi let go of his fist, Hiruzaru Sarutobi jumped to the tree trunk in front of him.

After Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped, he first took a look at Itachi, and when he saw Itachi's forehead was slashed, he couldn't help being stunned, a faint sadness came from his heart.

Just when Hiruzaru Sarutobi was secretly hurt, Itachi lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry Hokage-sama, Uchiha has already been..."

Itachi's voice was hollow, sounding like it had no emotion.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi looked at him, sighed with confusion, and then said apologetically, "I should be the one who should say sorry, Shisui's matter and Uchiha's matter, it is our Konoha who is sorry for you, yours. I will remember the credit, I will also remember the mistakes of Danzo and others, and when I go back, I will punish them severely."

"..."

Itachi remained silent, Uchiha had already been wiped out, and it had nothing to do with him whether he punished those people or not. What he cared most about now was his younger brother Uchiha Sasuke, who was his only relative, and he had to be responsible for him.

After being silent for a while, Itachi raised his head and asked Hiruzaru Sarutobi: "Master Hokage, I don't know if my brother will..."

"Your brother, do you mean Sasuke Uchiha?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi looked at Itachi, habitually took out his pipe, touched it, and then said: "He will grow up safely and healthily like other Konoha children. Your Uchiha's wealth will also be left to him intact, but before he grows up, I will arrange people to manage it on his behalf. As for his resentment towards you...I'm sorry, I'm afraid it will be difficult to erase this."

Hearing what Sarutobi Hiruzen said, Itachi nodded first, then shook his head and said: "If he wants to resent me, let him do it, hatred is sometimes a kind of power, as long as he can grow up healthy, I will Satisfied."

"Grow up healthy, don't worry about this, as long as I live, he will never have any problems, if anyone wants to deal with him, they should step over my corpse first." Hiruzaru Sarutobi put away his pipe Guaranteed to say.

"Thank you so much, sir." Itachi gave a slight salute to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

As soon as Itachi straightened up, Hiruzaru Sarutobi asked him suddenly: "Itachi, I heard from the village report that there seems to be other people besides you who destroyed Uchiha."

After asking, Hiruzaru Sarutobi turned his attention to Itachi.

The sharp gaze made Itachi feel a little bit of pressure, he nodded slightly, and replied: "Yes, there are indeed two more people, one of them is black and white, the body is wrapped in pitcher plants, the name It's called Jue, and the ninjutsu he is good at is not known yet, but I have seen him get out of a tree."

"Come out of the tree..." Hiruzaru Sarutobi frowned and muttered to himself, then raised his head and asked, "What about the other one?"

"I don't know the other name either. He is wearing a whirlpool mask, with only one Sharingan exposed. Although he calls himself Uchiha Madara, I think he is at most a fake." Itachi said calmly.

"Uchiha Madara." Sarutobi Hiruzen's breathing began to become heavy. He remembered the Kyuubi riots six years ago. At that time, there was also a masked Uchiha clan. From Itachi's description, the one who called himself Madara The guy had a lot of imagination with the guy who controlled Nine Tails and killed the fourth generation six years ago. Not surprisingly, he should be the same person as the bastard who controlled Nine Tails.

After squinting his eyes, Ri Zhan asked, "Did he tell you anything else?"

"Yes." Itachi nodded slightly, and then said: "He has an organization, and that organization is called Akatsuki by him, and its location should be in the Land of Rain, but I don't know exactly where it is. .”

"The Land of Rain... Akatsuki..." Hiruzaru Sarutobi's eyebrows frowned even deeper.

The water in the Land of Rain is very deep. Due to the geographical location, there are a large number of rebels from the ninja world gathered there, and countless dark organizations have taken root there. I never thought that such a guy would be in the Land of Rain.

"call--"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi exhaled, then raised his head to look at Itachi and said apologetically, "Itachi, it seems I'm going to trouble you again."

"If you have anything to do, just tell me, and I will do it if I can." Itachi said respectfully.

"Well, since that's the case, then I'll say it." Hiruzaru Sarutobi nodded, and then said: "Itachi, I need you to break into Akatsuki's interior, investigate their information, and be Konoha's spy."

"Do you want to be a spy..." Itachi murmured to himself, then nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Hiruzaru Sarutobi to respond, Itachi suddenly turned around and looked to the north and said, "Master Hokage, Sasuke will leave to you after I leave."

"Don't worry Itachi, I will take good care of him." Hiru Sarutobi nodded and said.

"Thank you so much." Itachi thanked, and then said: "In order to prevent Danzo from persecuting him, I temporarily handed him over to Lan's wooden avatar for protection. You just need to walk back along the main road, and you will be able to see him." Meet Sasuke and him."

"Lan is back too?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi yelled suspiciously, and then asked, "When did he come back, and what's going on with the wooden clone."

"I don't know, I don't know about these things. I only know that when I went back to hand in the task, he had already entered Konoha. He had explained some things to Brother Zhishui, but unfortunately... Zhishui didn't leave him alone. Listen to what he said, and also, Quanmei and her mother were left by him, if I'm not wrong, he should come back to Konoha to save Quanmei." Itachi's expression was a little sad and complicated.

"Save Izumi..." Hirizhan frowned deeply, he didn't understand why Lan came to save Izumi, and what's more, he couldn't figure out how Lan knew that Uchiha would suffer such a disaster.

The sun was slowly moving towards the west, and in a blink of an eye, the sky became dark. During this period, Hiruzaru Sarutobi and Itachi talked a lot about Akatsuki, Arashi, and Sasuke.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Itachi raised his head. He took a deep look at the setting sun in the west of the forest, and then said to Sarutobi Hiruzen: "It's getting late, I should leave too."

For Itachi's departure, Hiruzaru Sarutobi did not stop him, he nodded his head slightly and turned around.

The moment he turned around, Itachi turned into a crow and flew northwest.

Hearing the crows, Hirizhan lowered his head and sighed, then picked up his chakra and drove back to the carriage.

After jumping a certain distance, he returned to the carriage.

Kakashi, who was sitting by the car, saw Hiruzaru Sarutobi coming back, so he got up to meet him.

"Lord Hokage..."

"Well, Kakashi, let's go, hurry back along the main road."

"Yes"
