Chapter 472 Traces
It didn't take long for the negotiation results to be finalized, at the cost of war compensation of 20 billion taels for each big country and [-] million taels for each small country, in exchange for ninjas from various countries trapped at the border.

Such a large amount of money is worth more than two years of Konoha's financial income, and the cost is only for the top ninja to go out for a walk, and the most serious thing is just a few small-scale battles.

This is of course great news for Konoha, because of the supply of supplies by Kawa Nin, there is no need to worry about them for a few years.

But other developments are different. Such a large amount of money has been recorded, which just solves the urgent needs of the village.

The war is like a child's play, coming and going in a hurry. After everything stabilized, the village entered a period of gentle development again.

Jie also took advantage of the opportunity of the war against Yang Wei to completely monopolize all the weapon trade in the ninja world. The small countries are very obedient, and the big countries do not want to fight against Konoha again.

As long as there is no one sold on the market that does not need to be supplied through the 22-nation alliance.

Of course, that’s all for a small country, and a big country will definitely not give in. In addition to vigorously developing the self-supply of arsenals, in terms of other trade, the three countries of Fengtulei soon joined hands with many small countries to form a trade alliance in order to compete with the 22 countries on the opposite side.

During this period, the Land of Earth is also preparing to secretly transfer its backlog of weapons to other countries through material exchange.

But after a few waves of assassination and looting by Jie Mingren, they quickly stopped such actions.

No one wants to blatantly conflict with Konoha without studying how Konoha assassinated their high-level executives.

For a while, Konoha's prestige was at its peak, and no country, big or small, dared to try its edge.

The result of the excessive momentum is that all countries have begun to be wary of Konoha. Except for the 22-nation alliance, other countries have more or less secretly formed alliances to prevent aggression from the south.

Time flies, and more than a year has passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Obito suddenly came to the Hokage Building in a hurry.

"Jie, I found the trace of Orochimaru."

Jie's eyes brightened: "How did you find it? Are you sure it's him?"

"It is very certain that he was fished out using a kind of human experiment equipment. Although the guy has changed his appearance, his temperament and behavior style are absolutely unmistakable. It must be him."

"Where are the investigators? Where?"

"The Land of the Winds, the Boundless Desert!"

"Very well, let Kurokawa and Kakashi go together, you mobilize some people from Anbu to Kakashi."

Obito hesitated: "Wouldn't it be unsafe if there were only the two of them?"

Thinking of Orochimaru's elusive means, Sue touched his chin and nodded: "That's right, then tell Mizuki to go too, the three of them plus hundreds of elite Anbu, should be more than enough to catch one Orochimaru."

"I understand."

Not long after Obito left, Takehara hurried in again: "Master Hokage, Sand Shinobi proposed that the five major ninja villages jointly hold a Chunin assessment to promote harmony and strengthen friendship among countries."

Jie smiled disdainfully: "Sand Ninja! It seems that the elite route has given those guys a taste of the sweetness. Now I want to send this to show my force, so as to prevent the next war from starting with them."

"Forget it, tell them that Konoha is busy with business and won't participate."

"I understand."

Takehara nodded, and just about to leave, Jie asked again: "How is Ninja School doing recently, are there any outstanding talents?"

"No, the reserves of all departments have graduated ahead of schedule, and the new generation of students have just entered school, so there won't be any talents for the time being."

"By the way, speaking of this, I recently discovered that your clansman Uchiha Itachi seems to be a bit abnormal."

Jie was slightly surprised: "Oh! Have you investigated him? What's going on?"

Takehara shook his head: "It's not really an investigation, it's just that the kid's strength is very good, both character and combat experience are far beyond the standard of Chunin, but it's been so long, he never applied for the Chunin assessment. That's all, even the invitation to the assessment we arranged to go was rejected."

"I thought it was a bit strange, so I ordered someone to follow him several times, and found that he seemed to often hang out late at night with some very mysterious guys."

Jie frowned: "Some mysterious guys? Is there anyone else who can do things under our noses?"

Takehara shook his head: "That's not the case. It's certain that these people are not outsiders, and they don't seem to want to cause trouble. I suspect that some people in the village initiated a special gathering, just like believing in a certain sect."

Jie puzzled: "Are they all ninjas?"

"Well, the strength is not weak, and the anti-reconnaissance methods are quite clever."

"When did it start?"

Takehara pondered: "Well, it should be not long after Uchiha Shisui's death. During that time, he suddenly became in a trance and silent, and then he should have come into contact with these things."

Jie's face was weird: "Follow Uchiha Itachi! Who did this?"

"A teacher at the ninja school, what's wrong, is there something wrong?"

Jie nodded: "It's a bit strange, you don't need to worry about Uchiha Itachi, just give me this person's information."

"I understand."

Uchiha clan

Itachi knelt on the ground expressionlessly and said nothing. Fuyue in front of him looked at him with a straight face, with a hint of anger in his expression.

"Itachi, what have you been doing lately?"

Itachi said lightly: "Nothing, just perform some simple tasks and wander around the village."

"With your ability, you can be promoted to Zhongnin long ago? Why didn't you choose to take the assessment? Don't you want to join the police department?"

"That's right, the police department is too limited, I want to be a..."

"Being a traitor who collaborates with the enemy and betrays the country?" Fu Yue interrupted him in a cold tone.

Itachi's expression changed slightly: "What do you mean by that? I have never done anything to endanger the village."

Fu Yue's face sank: "Is that really the case?"

Itachi's face was calm: "Of course, you worry too much. Are you angry because I don't want to serve the family?"

Fuyue stared at him closely for a few times: "I hope so, you have always been a very decisive child, I am very relieved of you, but there are everyone in this world, I don't want you to be Some false benevolent people take advantage."

Itachi wondered: "There are also falsehoods in benevolence?"

"Of course there are. I don't know how many people are doing the same thing on the surface. Those people who hang out with you may not be the same kind of people."

Itachi nodded: "Sister Aoi! Then what kind of person do you think Uchihasuke is, who deceives, uses, and usurps power? Isn't he a hypocrite?"

Fu Yue's expression was serious: "Who told you this? Shishui! Or that crazy woman with great ambition?"

Itachi pursed his lips and didn't answer.

Seeing this, Fu Yue's voice turned cold: "It seems that I am too busy, so that you lack teaching and go astray!"

After being silent for a while, Fuyue sighed softly: "Forget it, no matter who said forget it, I know you have complaints about Jiexin, but Hokage-sama is not what you imagined, the matter of Shishui is entirely his own fault, Hokage-sama is willing to stay His life is already very merciful."

Hearing this, Itachi's face darkened: "A person who sacrificed for the village and his beliefs, the one who holds the knife should be crowned as benevolent?"

Fuyue was furious: "Shut up! What is belief? Belief is to betray the family? Assassinate Konoha's senior management?"

"A guy who is so cowardly that he doesn't even have the courage to face the facts, what qualifications does he have to be called a sacrifice? Don't forget how the high-level officials targeted us and how the villagers treated us."

Itachi sneered: "After all, it's not for profit. A hero who sacrificed his life for peace is not worthy of the word sacrifice. You people are really ridiculous."

There was a crisp slap on the face, and the furious Fuyue slapped Itachi to the ground with a slap.

Hearing the movement, Mei Ting rushed out of the kitchen in a hurry: "You guys, what happened? Does it matter, Itachi?"

Itachi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, I won't eat dinner today, mom, you don't have to prepare it for me."

At the end of the sentence, Itachi pushed Mei Ting's arm away, and left the yard without saying a word.

Meiting looked at Itachi's back worriedly, turned her head and asked, "You rarely get angry, what's going on? Itachi he..."

Fu Yue apologized: "Sorry, I was too reckless."

Mei Ting shook her head helplessly: "You shouldn't say such things to me, what's going on? Itachi seldom makes mistakes."

Fu Yue sighed: "It's about Jie. You also understand the relationship between Shisui and Itachi. I'm worried that Itachi will do something out of the ordinary and bring disaster on himself."

Mei Ting worried: "Then what should I do? Hokage is not an easy person to get along with, once Itachi does..."

Fu Yue waved his hand: "I will find a way to solve it, don't wait for me to eat at night, I will go out for a while."

After all, Fu Yue hurried out of the house.

Mei Ting looked around at a loss, feeling flustered for a while.

Creaking, the bedroom was slowly pushed away, Sasuke came to Mei Ting's side with some hesitation: "Big brother."

Mei Ting smiled again: "Itachi has encountered some troubles, but it will pass soon, and Sasuke will go to school soon, how is the preparation? Are you confident to pass the test?"
