Naruto's water escape is the strongest

Sometimes life has to be lived even if it is full of lies.

Just like the explanation given by Sakura Haruno, it was that Yu Yan only gained weight while recovering from illness - Sakura herself naturally sneered at this explanation. Who doesn't know that if you want to get fat, you should first fatten your waist, and if you want to lose weight, you should first slim your breasts! emmm~ There must be some kind of secret hidden in this!

Just like the revenge plan that Erzhu has always regarded as one of his goals in life, of course, the Sasuke Sakura knows now is much more mature than the one in the original work.

It seems unfair to call him Erzhu again.

However, he still didn't see through Itachi's lies, and he still believed that he must take revenge on Itachi... Although Haruno Sakura had talked to him, maybe there was something fishy here, and his brother was not necessarily the culprit.

However, even Haruno Sakura, a time-traveler, doesn’t understand the secret here very well - who told her to time-travel without a supplement?In the entire Konoha Village, there are currently only four people who fully understand the truth. Oh, no, there are five now.The new Hokage, Tsunade-sama, has completed the top-secret information scroll after being reminded by the Third Generation, and is now struggling with how to clean up this mess...

Among the current four insiders, the two Hokage advisors, Mito Kadoen and Kaden Koharu, generally choose to hide their thoughts and become Hokage's followers after the Hokage makes a decision;

Shimura Danzo openly expressed his distrust of the Uchiha clan, and even had the intention to kill Sasuke during the battle with Kimimaro;

Sarutobi Hiruzen expressed complete trust in Uchiha Itachi, and also believed that Sasuke would not betray the will of fire.

As for the new Hokage, Tsunade-sama...

Because Sasuke is Haruno Sakura's teammate, and she is considered the Hokage who watched Sasuke grow up, Tsunade has quite a lot of confidence in Sasuke.

But when it came to Itachi, she could only hehe.To be fair, she had already left Konoha when Itachi was born. Why should she completely trust a double agent who she had never met, who had been away from Konoha for many years, and who never reported information to the village?

Since that mission to search for Orochimaru's base, Konoha has been secretly collecting and probing information about Orochimaru and Akatsuki, but there has been no news.

Some of the information that was occasionally found was all innocuous side information. For example, the bounty house that Sakura raided before, apart from being able to confirm that Kakuzu had been there several times, there was no other useful information.

On the other hand, the intelligence passed on by Jiraiya also showed more and more clearly that the Akatsuki organization hidden under the calm surface of the ninja world actually possesses superior force that is enough to severely damage a big country.

The deeper he got to know, the more frightened Konoha became.

Hokage Building.In a small conference room.

This was a small, closed-door high-level meeting.

Being behind closed doors means... whatever you have to say can be said directly on the table.

"It's impossible for me to trust a stranger I've never met. If Itachi is really reliable, why hasn't he delivered any valid information after joining Akatsuki for so many years?" Tsunade asked the third generation bluntly.

It is related to the interests and safety of the village. On such a serious issue, even if the other party is her teacher and the previous Hokage, the Fifth Hokage must directly raise questions!

There are two possibilities for Uchiha Itachi not passing on information. One is that he has betrayed Konoha; the other is that he is under strict surveillance and cannot find a chance to pass on the information.

Of course, the Third Hokage chose to forgive... Bah, he chose to believe Itachi: "Akatsuki members are in groups of two. It is normal that Itachi cannot find a chance to pass on information. That organization may have very powerful surveillance capabilities."

"Hiruzhan, if you trust the Uchiha clan too much, it will lead to catastrophe sooner or later! The history of Uchiha has proven all this..." Danzo interjected coldly, his voice still the same dry, hoarse and old voice. Hard.

"Lord Danzo, is this the reason why you intend to attack Sasuke?" Seeing Danzo coming forward, Tsunade immediately poured her firepower on him and looked at Danzo with sharp eyes. "As the current Hokage, I must warn you. Once I find any signs of the Roots attacking any normal Konoha ninja, I will forcibly disband the Roots, and as the person in charge of the Roots, you also need to cooperate and accept the review!"

Danzo, who was directly attacked, remained calm and said without raising his eyelids: "I will only do things from the standpoint of whether it is beneficial to Konoha. I have always had a clear conscience. If Tsunade-sama has any doubts, please feel free to do so. The investigation is complete."

"Hmph..." Tsunade raised her eyebrows, still feeling at a loss as to how to restrict Danzo from entering.

"You two, don't be vindictive and calm down." Mito Kadoyan said to smooth things over, "Uchiha Sasuke currently shows no signs of resistance to the village, and there is no possibility of defecting. He is now a ninja of Konoha.

As long as we insiders keep the secret, Sasuke will always be Konoha's ninja in the future..."

"When the time is right, we still have to tell Sasuke the truth," the Third Hokage took a puff of his cigarette and sighed, "We can't hide it from him forever. Sasuke is not that stupid."

"This is exactly why I don't trust Sasuke..." Danzo snorted, looking at the Third Hokage with sinister eyes, and said, "Do you think a person who has been exterminated will love Konoha?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression changed, and he was about to speak when he saw that a new round of dispute was about to arouse.

"Okay!" Tsunade shouted in a deep voice, "As the Fifth Hokage, I will be responsible for Sasuke's matter to the end. Don't argue about this anymore!"

If it doesn't work, just throw Danzo out and take the blame... No, no, no, it was his fault in the first place, and it doesn't count as taking the blame.Tsunade cursed in her heart, this is how she will be responsible to the end. Of course, Tsunade will not reveal this little thought...

She just glanced around the venue seriously, and the other four people lowered their eyes and closed their mouths under Tsunade's firm eyes.

The prestige of the Fifth Hokage has gradually been established.

"Let's get back to the topic." Looking at everyone who fell silent, Tsunade nodded secretly and said lightly, "Today's topic is the issue between Akatsuki and Uchiha Itachi. If Uchiha Itachi really still thinks of himself as Konoha person, then we should find a way to contact him and obtain information about Xiao from him..."

She continued: "The barrier class once discovered that after the Chunin Exams, Konoha's barrier showed signs of being touched. The intruders were very familiar with Konoha's defensive barrier, but many of the details were from a few years ago. That's the trick, so I judge that the person coming may be a ninja who defected from Konoha a few years ago..."

"...It's Uchiha Itachi. He is the only one who has the ability to do this." The Third Hokage knocked on the table with his pipe and came to the conclusion without hesitation, "It was Itachi who returned to Konoha, but he only feinted. , and left without doing anything.”

"What's the purpose of Itachi doing this?" Xiaochun asked when he went to bed.

"It's very simple. When the village was attacked and fell into chaos, I wanted to enter Konoha's troubled waters to fish..." Danzo said without thinking, using himself to save others.

"It is Akatsuki's purpose to kidnap Naruto, the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki. Don't get confused!" Sandai glanced at Danzo and said, "Itachi's intention is to tell us that he is still alive and still in Akatsuki."

Tsunade raised her eyebrows. Can Itachi's actions... really be interpreted this way?

In the final analysis, she could not trust Itachi without reservation like the third generation, so she would naturally have completely opposite interpretations of Itachi's actions.In fact, her thoughts on this matter may be closer to Danzo's attitude.

However, since the third generation believed in Itachi, Tsunade could only choose to believe in the third generation's vision...

The focus of the meeting quickly turned to how to test Akatsuki's intelligence and contact Uchiha Itachi.

However, until more information is gathered, such a meeting is actually just a general talk. The biggest achievement is to unify the thinking among Konoha's top brass and determine Konoha's next action plan.

As the Hokage who dominates the village, Tsunade cannot be dictatorial in everything.More often than not, she needs to first convince others and unify her thoughts in such high-level meetings, and then obtain the support of each Jonin squad leader in the jounin meeting to ensure that her will is carried out.

Otherwise, she would just be a mascot who never leaves the Hokage Building.

Of course, with the bonus of being Hokage, Tsunade's words are naturally more convincing than others, and with her growing prestige, her ideas are rarely denied and are basically implemented.

In short, a series of responses to the Akatsuki organization are being gradually implemented under Tsunade's arrangement.

Konoha doesn't want to face Akatsuki head-on yet, so it won't collect information on Akatsuki in a big way. Everything will be done in a low-key and secret manner.

During this period of time, the most important thing in Konoha was not the spying on Akatsuki, but the Chunin Examination this summer.

According to the unspoken rules of rotation, this exam will be held in Sand Ninja Village.

The Konoha invasion that occurred during last year's Chunin Exam made this year's Chunin Exam held in Sand Ninja Village even more eye-catching.

The outside world wants to know whether the sand ninja, who has nominally surrendered to Konoha, is sincerely lying low or still harboring evil intentions!

The undercurrent and mystery hidden between the two ninja villages will be revealed in this chunin exam...
