Naruto Kakashi

In a training ground inside the Uchiha station.

A little boy, no more than seven or eight years old, was practicing shuriken.

The target in front of the boy is not a simple single fixed target, but a combat target placed according to the simulated battlefield environment.

There are six targets in total, and they are placed very secretly. Some targets even have a negative angle to the trainer.

This kind of shooting range is very difficult. It requires the trainer to hit all the targets in a very short time to be considered qualified. This is something that even ordinary jounin can hardly do.

But now this seven or eight-year-old boy is actually challenging this kind of target.

I don't know if he is confident in his shuriken skills, or if he just wants to try it.

Of course the results came soon.

I saw him holding three kunai in each hand, scanning all the targets with his eyes, and then swung out his two hands one after another like lightning.

Then there was a sound of metal colliding first, and then the sound of kunai hitting the target one after another.

If you look up, you will find that every target has a kunai stuck in the bullseye, even the ones held at a negative angle.

With a burst of applause, a young man with a ninja sword on his back came over: "Itachi, your shuriken skills are getting better and better."

"I can't compare to you, Shisui-senpai." Itachi continued to take out kunai from his ninja bag without turning his head.

"I'm only a few years older than you. I wasn't as powerful as you when I was your age." Shisui looked at the kunai on the bullseye and made a general impression, then thought about it and asked again, "Yes Yes, no mission today?"

"I just accepted a C-level escort mission today. We will leave tomorrow." Itachi replied while waving the kunai.

The kunai hit the target accurately again.

"It's not bad. Just a few months after becoming a ninja, I started taking C-level missions."

Itachi has received countless compliments since he was a child and has long been used to it, but the person in front of him who praises him is someone he respects very much, so he can't help but feel a little happy.

"By the way Shisui, I haven't seen you recently. Are you on a mission?"

Itachi and Shisui have a very close relationship, and Shisui has always gotten along with Itachi as a peer. He will even take the initiative to tell Itachi some less important Anbu tasks and share some skills in the tasks, in this way to help Itachi improve his tasks. experience.

"Yes, ANBU still has quite a lot of tasks."

"Is it because of the Kumogakure Mission?"

But this time Shisui didn't answer, just shook his head silently.

Seeing Shisui make this move, Itachi also understood that the matter should be kept confidential, so he stopped asking any more questions.

"Although you haven't seen me in the past two days, I have seen you in one place." Shisui changed the topic, with a strange expression on his face.

"Huh? Where?" After hearing what Shisui said, Itachi thought that Shisui was testing his own insight in school, and couldn't help but start to recall his whereabouts in the past two days.

"By the small river." Shisui had no intention of taking the exam, so he immediately reminded him.

"Ah." After hearing the prompt, Itachi immediately thought of it, but what he thought of was not Shisui, but another person.

"Who is that girl eating dumplings with you?" Zhisui could no longer hide the smile on his face.

"Well, that was just a friend I met at the ninja school, and the dumplings happened to be sold out that day, so I ate them with her." Itachi's face turned red obviously.

"Are they just friends? Speaking of which, we have never eaten dumplings together." Shisui obviously rarely saw Itachi show such an expression, so he continued with interest.

"That's not because Shisui usually has a lot of tasks and rarely has free time, and I remember that you don't like sweets very much." Itachi gradually came to his senses and noticed Shisui's teasing, and couldn't help but feel a little reproachful. said in a tone of voice.

Seeing Itachi return to his original deep look, Shisui touched his head in embarrassment: "Well, people's tastes will change. I like eating dumplings recently."

However, it was obvious that Shisui's poor excuse did not satisfy Itachi.

"Okay, in order to apologize to you, how about I give you a private practice guide?"

"Yeah." Itachi pondered for a while. His training plan was formulated by his father, Uchiha Fugaku, and he often personally guided him in his training, so Itachi didn't have many training questions to answer.

But there is only one thing, and that is the Sharingan.

Thinking of this, Itachi couldn't help but look into Shisui's eyes: "I want to know how to open the Sharingan."

"Sharingan?" Shisui stretched out his hand to his eyes.

Talking about the Sharingan, the expression on Shisui's face couldn't help but become serious, "There is a method to open the eyes in the family. I believe Lord Fugaku must have told you about it."

Itachi nodded.

"But what I want to tell you today is the second-generation Hokage Senju Tobirama's research on the Sharingan." Shisui

"The second generation?" Itachi couldn't help but be surprised. Speaking of the most hated Hokage in the Uchiha clan, it must be the second generation Senju Tobirama.

It is generally believed in the family that the second generation has always hated Uchiha.

Discussions in the family about the Nidaime were mostly based on verbal abuse. Itachi never expected that the Nidaime also studied the Sharingan.

Shisui obviously also knew the image of the second generation in the Uchiha clan.

However, Shisui didn't explain much to Itachi, because he knew that Itachi was not the kind of person to follow others' opinions, and that Itachi had his own judgment.

"According to Tobirama-sama's research, we, the Uchiha clan, value emotions the most. When we lose the emotions we value, or feel pain from our disappointment, special chakra will surge out of the brain and act on the optic nerve. Causes the eyes to change, eventually forming the Sharingan."

"The Sharingan is also called the eye that reflects the soul by Master Tobirama. That is, the stronger the power of the soul, the stronger the power of the Sharingan."

"Emotions that matter, special chakra, eyes that reflect the soul?" This was the first time Itachi heard such remarks, and he even had some understanding in his heart.

Zhisui looked at Itachi in front of him and couldn't help but mutter in his heart: "Although it is a bit irresponsible to say this, I still hope that you can open your eyes later."

……

In the Hokage's office, the Sandaime did not handle government affairs as usual.

Since the Kumogakure mission left, the third generation has been standing in front of the office window, silently looking at the Konoha Village outside the window.

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, approaching from far away, and soon they arrived at the door of the office.

But before Sandai could speak, the door was opened.

Two old men, a man and a woman, walked into the office.

"What's wrong with the two consultants coming in such a hurry?" Sandai turned around and asked.

The two old men who appeared in the office were none other than Koharu Koharu, the consultant of Konoha Village, and Mito Kabuto.

Koharu went to bed without any courtesy and said directly: "I hope that the person in charge of tonight's operation will be changed and Danzo will take over."

"Give me a reason, is it because I am that guy's teacher?" Sandai said calmly without any expression on his face.

"That's right, and as the provider of information about Orochimaru's human experiments, Danzo, I think, is the best candidate." Mito Kadenen added.

Sandai glanced at the two consultants and said with a rare firmness: "I don't agree with this proposal."

Then without waiting for the two advisors to speak, he said again: "And I decided to personally participate in the arrest plan."

The two advisors obviously did not expect that Sarutobi Hiruzen would be so resolute, nor did they expect that he would personally participate in the plan. They were speechless for a while.

"Please go back, you two. There are still many things that need your help tonight." Sandai's tone softened slightly, and he persuaded the two consultants to go back.

After seeing the two consultants leaving, Sandai suddenly sighed, with a clear sense of exhaustion on his face.

Obviously, the third generation was under too much pressure regarding Orochimaru.

He actually knew that he should avoid suspicion, but he was even more unwilling to see the command fall into Danzo's hands.

Although he had no conclusive evidence, there was definitely something fishy between Danzo and Orochimaru.

This is also the reason why Sandai is unwilling to hand over command to Danzo, and at the same time, he also wants to end the matter personally.

And speaking of it, he hadn't met Orochimaru alone for a long time.

……

Time flies and the sun gradually sets.

The residents of Konoha finished their day's work as usual. Some chose to go home, while others chose to go to an izakaya to have a drink and relax.

The night was getting darker and darker, and when the izakaya sent away the last drunken guest, the entire Konoha Village finally ended the day's bustle.

But in this calm, the platform of the Hokage Building was full of people.

There is no lamp on the platform, but fortunately the moonlight is good tonight, so it will not be completely dark.

As if realizing that time was almost up, Sandai, who had his back to everyone, slowly turned around.

At this time, the third generation was not wearing Hokage robes as usual, but was wearing a suit of armor.

His face was no longer as kind as before, and his expression was very serious.

The third generation looked around at the ninjas present and started arranging tasks without saying any more nonsense.

The plan has been made long ago, but the personnel assignments need to be arranged personally by the three generations before the operation.

"Anbu listens to the order, the first team goes to area C, the second team A, the third team..."

"Follow the orders, first team, area B, second team..."

This operation was one of the very few Anbu and Roots that participated together.

"In addition, the special operations team will follow me."

This concludes the personnel arrangements for the three generations.

"Yes." The Anbu and Root ninjas each received their tasks.

"Action." The third generation waved his hand, and the ninjas instantly disappeared from the platform.
