Xu Zuren in Hokage

"What's going on?" Jin Feiyu asked, fascinated.

"Uchiha Itachi, who was only sixteen at the time, found me." After saying this, the third generation couldn't help but praise Itachi.

"Itachi is truly the most well-organized person I have ever met. Not only is he extremely powerful, but what is even more valuable is that he has a strong insight into things. He clearly understands that it is difficult to defeat a group through external wars. And civil war can mess up everything very quickly. Although Konoha is strong, a civil war is enough to knock it down."

"After much thought, he decided to kill his relatives out of justice and stood on the side of the village. It was also he who took the initiative to propose to me that he would eradicate the Uchiha family with his own hands. His only condition was to spare Sasuke's life."

"Itachi destroyed the entire Uchiha family by himself? How could he be so powerful at only sixteen years old?"

"I'm also very surprised, but he prohibited us from entering the Uchiha family's residence during the operation. We didn't understand the specific situation. When we arrived, we only found corpses everywhere. And according to my estimation, Itachi should have been there at that time. The Mangekyō Sharingan has been activated."

So that's it. Although there are still some questions, it can probably be explained.

"In this way, Itachi left the village after completing this mission. Only Danzo and I and a few people knew about this, not even Tsunade."

After hearing the whole story, Jin Feiyu couldn't help but feel a little sad. He not only sighed for enduring Itachi who was not understood by outsiders, but also felt pity for Sasuke.

In this story, he has been kept in the dark and has no idea that the sworn enemy he wants to kill day and night is actually doing it for the sake of the village. Will he understand Itachi after learning about it? I'm afraid it's difficult. Not everyone will understand Itachi's actions. I really don't know what Sasuke will do when he learns the truth.

The third generation continued: "I think it is better not to tell Sasuke about this matter. He may not be able to bear the truth of the matter. He is still young, his outlook on life and the world is not yet mature, and his temper is a bit extreme. It is better to wait until he grows up. It’s better to tell him when he’s older. Under the influence of the people in the village, I believe he will understand Itachi’s thoughts one day, and it’s best to tell him then.”

Jin Feiyu nodded silently. Although he did not agree with some of Sandai's ideas, so far, there seemed to be no better way.

The third generation then went back to the topic: "Finally, Danzo, with his character, always believed that Sasuke was an unstable factor in the village. He didn't know where he got Orochimaru's plan to abduct Sasuke, so he wanted to follow the trend and borrow it. Get rid of Sasuke with Orochimaru's hand."

"Okay, although there is barely a reason, but they are all from the same village, Sasuke was just deceived, and he may not resent the village after learning the truth, so just get rid of him like this?"

The third generation nodded and said: "Now you know why I asked you to stay away from Danzo in the first place. He is a person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. He will not let it go even if there is a slight threat to the village."

"Then what will happen to Sasuke when he comes back? Now that he's in the village, it's easier for Danzo to take action."

"I don't know. Who knows what he really thinks. After staying in Gen for so long, his thoughts may be more extreme than before."

The two of them were silent for a moment, and there was a solemn atmosphere in the air.

"What do you think of Danzo's methods?" Sandai suddenly asked Jin Feiyu.

Jin Feiyu shook his head and replied: "I strongly disagree with his approach. His thoughts are too extreme. You cannot judge him just because others may make mistakes. In that case, how many people in the village will be in his eyes?" Am I clean? I'm afraid I might be a threat in his eyes..."

The third generation nodded and said: "Indeed, I think the same as you. Sasuke is an outstanding young man with unlimited potential. When he grows up, he can bring great improvement to the village. And I believe that under the guidance of the village, he will I slowly understood Itachi’s thoughts.”

Jin Feiyu asked: "Then we should consider whether Danzo will attack Sasuke again."

"I thought about it and I think it shouldn't be the case. Now that Sasuke is in the village, if something happens, Itachi will blame the village for it. He will probably only be able to use some small tricks."

"Then what if these little tricks are going to work, or if there is an opportunity like Orochimaru next time, it will be very detrimental to Sasuke."

"What you said makes sense. It seems that I have thought of some ideas. Yes, although I have withdrawn from the village affairs, I will go to him to talk to him, persuade him, and analyze the interests. I believe he will give some advice. I am a bit thin-faced and have given up my thoughts on Sasuke."

The reason why the third generation chose to come forward was not just for Sasuke. Jin Feiyu already knew the beginning of the matter. If it was not handled well, he would inevitably have some thoughts. This must be avoided. The village cannot lose Sasuke and Jin Feiyu at the same time.

Jin Feiyu wondered: "Maybe it's a bit rude, but I still want to ask, I really don't understand why you are so tolerant of him?"

The third generation smiled and said: "Everything has two sides. Although the existence of the root has caused some harm to the villagers, the village does need its power. And although Danzo is ruthless, his love for the village is no less than For me, it is actually a very good choice for him to control the roots. I can’t think of a more suitable candidate than him.”

"Okay, I understand, and everything has been clarified, so I'll leave first."

The third generation stood up and said goodbye: "Well, I come here often when I have time. I am very bored at home alone now. I also want to chat with young people, so that I can get the breath of youth."

"Next time definitely."

After saying goodbye to the third generation, Tsunade came to Tsunade's office. Tsunade was working at the desk. When she looked up and saw it was Tsunade, she immediately stopped what she was doing and said, "You're back so soon. What did you hear?" Got the news?"

Jin Feiyu said: "Some gains, at least I understand Danzo's intention."

"Oh? Come on, let's talk about it."

Jin Feiyu told Tsunade everything he knew, without hiding anything. Of course he knew that the real intention of Sandai telling him so much was to let Tsunade hear it.

After finishing speaking in one breath, Jin Feiyu was also thirsty. He picked up the teapot on his desk, poured a cup of tea, and drank it by himself.

"Pfft, why is it wine? Are you drinking secretly during working hours again?"

Tsunade said: "Don't worry about those unimportant things. I didn't expect such a thing to happen in the village. Hey, since the teacher said to help solve this matter, let's do it. Hidden from Sasuke first. Make plans again.”

"Yes, I'll leave first if there's nothing else to do." Jin Feiyu stood up to leave.

"I'm really sorry for troubling you. It's really hard for you to run around for me before your health is better."

"It's nothing. If you have any good tasks, just think of me. Take your leave."

Jin Feiyu opened the door and strode away.
