Early the next morning, Naruto walked out of the room holding his sore butt.

Don't get me wrong, the nails on Kurama's fingernails are longer than any other person's. If Naruto were to be killed for a thousand years, even if Naruto's whole body was lost, he got up from the bed because he had a nightmare last night in which he dreamed that he was completely pierced by Kurama. It's just a pain in the butt caused by the fall.

In the morning, it was still the normal training time. Naruto and Sasuke practiced chakra properties together, and Sasuke secretly tried to communicate.

Naruto, on the other hand, had been looking at Sasuke with a resentful look throughout the morning, thinking that something had happened between the two of them.

But for Kakashi and the others, this is a daily routine. Naruto has this expression every time he is tricked by Sasuke.

After lunch, we still started training in the afternoon. It was supposed to be like this, but before they could go to the training ground, the ANBU stopped them and asked them to go to the Hokage's office. The group thought it was Sasuke's check. No matter what the problem was, he ran over immediately without stopping.

In the Hokage's office, Tsunade held her chin with her hands and stared at a piece of information on the table with flickering eyes. Jiraiya stood next to her with the same serious look on his face.

Neither of them spoke. After a while, the door of the office was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and Naruto walked in carelessly: "Grandma Tsunade, has Sasuke's examination report come out? What's the situation?"

Tsunade raised her head, but did not look at Naruto who was the first to enter. Instead, her eyes fell on Sasuke who was following behind.

Seeing this scene, Kakashi, who was the last one to come in, frowned subconsciously: "Tsunade-sama, is there anything wrong with the inspection report?"

"Is Sasuke really..." Naruto looked horrified.

But Tsunade still ignored Naruto's tricks, and looked at Sasuke with a serious face: "Sasuke, here is a piece of information related to you."

Naruto was stunned. This was the first time he saw Granny Tsunade looking so serious, and she didn't yell at him?

It looks like things are really serious.

At that moment, Naruto also stopped trying to show off and stopped talking.

Sasuke raised his head and looked at Tsunade, his expression suddenly changed: "It has something to do with me...could it be?"

There can only be one piece of information related to Sasuke in the ninja world.

Thinking of this, Sasuke clenched his fists.

Tsunade took a deep breath, reached out, picked up the information and threw it to Sasuke, and at the same time said: "Our intelligence personnel discovered Uchiha Itachi's figure in an arsenal that Uchiha had previously hidden."

"If it was just like this, we wouldn't notify you." Jiraiya took over with a low voice, "But that guy seemed to have completely concealed his whereabouts and walked swaggering in front of our intelligence personnel. His intention couldn't be more obvious."

After saying that, the two looked at Sasuke with deep eyes: "The two of us discussed it all morning, and finally decided to leave this matter to you."

Sasuke is trustworthy now.

Sasuke clenched the information in his hand, and the three Magatama Sharingan appeared unconsciously in his eyes.

After a long time, he took a deep breath, suppressed the fluctuations in his heart, raised his head and looked at the two of them seriously: "Thank you."

Tsunade shook her head: "I will suppress this matter for you. No one will know except the people present. However, I will give you a not simple task of leaving the village as a cover. How to solve it depends on your own ideas. ”

At this moment, Sasuke was really touched.

He clenched his fists, suppressed the extreme fluctuations in his heart, and bowed to Tsunade and Jiraiya: "Thank you."

Originally, in this case, Tsunade should have sent ANBU or asked intelligence personnel to continue investigating Itachi's purpose, but they did not do so. Instead, after discussion, they directly contacted Sasuke and asked him to solve the problem.

In fact, even if Tsunade hid the news and secretly sent someone to find out, it was normal, but she didn't. Instead, she informed Sasuke immediately.

How could Sasuke not be grateful for this?

Not only that, Tsunade and Jiraiya also prepared a complete plan to help him legitimately contact the S-class rebel ninja.

Jiraiya chuckled softly: "You are considered half of my apprentice. If I can't even help you with such small things, what kind of master am I?"

After saying that, Jiraiya warned with a serious face: "But remember, no matter what happens, you must come back."

"Yeah!" Sasuke nodded heavily.

Tsunade took out a mission scroll from the drawer and threw it to Sasuke: "This is a cover-up mission. You don't need to complete it. I will let the ANBU do it. Another thing is, I will not send the ANBU to follow you, so along the way If you encounter any strange person following you, you can take action directly and I will take care of the rest."

Tsuna pointed at the root.

Sasuke also knew about Root, so he nodded directly.

"Then the second point." Tsunade supported her chin with her hands again, "Kakashi, Naruto and Sakura will go with you. On the surface it is your team's collective mission, but after that they will not Meddling in your affairs can also help you block other people.”

"Do you know Kakashi?" Tsunade looked at Kakashi.

Kakashi nodded: "Copy that."

"Finally, the third point..." When Tsunade said this, she paused for a moment, seemed to hesitate, and then slowly spoke again, "The Uchiha genocide seems a bit strange to me, and I also think Itachi's defection. It’s abnormal, but that old man from the third generation didn’t leave me anything, so even I don’t know what’s going on.”

"If you learn the truth, and this truth is unacceptable to you and shakes your heart, you can hate me, the old man, or those old immortals, but please don't hate Konoha. The rest of Konoha is innocent."

"do you understand?"

There was a hint of sigh in Tsunade's eyes.

There was no way, she was not in Konoha when the Uchiha clan was exterminated, and Jiraiya was not in Konoha either. Among those who knew about it, the Uchiha clan was completely wiped out, and the three generations of old men were dead, and those old immortals refused to say anything. .

As a result, Tsunade still doesn't know what happened in Konoha at that time. She only remembers that there were some vague intelligences that showed that Uchiha seemed to be launching a coup.

But why it turned out to be Itachi and massacred the entire clan, no one knows.

Of course Sasuke could understand what Tsunade meant, and he actually knew the truth about the annihilation of the Uchiha clan. After all, he had seen all of Itachi's memories during the Six Paths era, and he could be said to have a pretty good understanding of the whole incident.

At that time, his heart was indeed shaken, but because of Naruto, he settled down.

Thinking about it, Sasuke smiled: "Tsunade-sama, please rest assured."

Now he just wanted to know Itachi's thoughts, why he wanted to do that, and why he chose to stand with the village instead of being in the clan.

but……

Sasuke looked outside through the window of the Hokage's office. The bustling Konoha was still as peaceful as ever. He turned his head and looked behind him, with a worried Naruto and a heavy Kakashi. He... seemed to be able to I understand a little bit what Itachi was thinking at that time.
