Naruto's Journey to Training

Suddenly, a bad idea came to Sarutobi's mind, "Tsunade, do you think other ninjas with Uchiha's eyes can observe this power?"

Tsunade was stunned. "I don't know. We can only know after experimenting. But now..."

Tsunade paused here, then turned to look at the white-haired figure standing beside her, with a gleam of light in her eyes.

Sarutobi also looked at Kakashi with fiery eyes.

Kakashi tensed up, "Hokage-sama, what's the problem?"

However, as soon as he asked, Tsunade grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the laboratory. Sarutobi couldn't wait and left the Hokage building. The recent changes in Konoha had made him a little restless.

If this continues, it will not be the Uchiha who will be isolated, but his entire Hokage line. This will undoubtedly be the biggest blow he has suffered in all the years since he came to power.

The three of them quickly arrived at the laboratory, and Tsunade quickly explained her research direction to Kakashi, hoping that he could see the power and tell him its form and nature.

Kakashi felt a little unhappy. After all, his eyes were given to him by his friend Obito. They were originally a symbol of friendship, but now he had to use them to deal with his friend's family.

This made Kakashi feel very resentful.

But feeling the two burning gazes, Kakashi reluctantly took off his Anbu mask, removed the mask, opened his Sharingan, and looked at the spiritual plant.

However, no matter how he looked at it, it was just a weed, and it did not have the mysterious power that Tsunade had described. If there was any difference, it was just brighter than the other ones, and full of an indescribable aura, as if it had just been picked.

After a long moment, Kakashi covered his eyes and shook his head at Tsunade and Sarutobi.

Tsunade's face was filled with disappointment, but Sarutobi looked at Kakashi, "Kakashi really can't see that power!"

The doubt and distrust in the words instantly magnified Kakashi's resentment many times, "Hokage-sama, there is no need for me to lie to you!"

Hearing Kakashi's words, Sarutobi instantly realized his mistake and quickly apologized, "Kakashi, it's not that I don't trust you, but this matter is too important to the village!"

Kakashi remained silent and just left the laboratory quietly.

Seeing this, Sarutobi felt slightly annoyed.

Tsunade looked at Kakashi's departing back thoughtfully, "Old man, don't you have any pure Uchiha in your Anbu?"

Tsunade's words instantly dispelled Sarutobi's irritability, and Sarutobi was silent for a while.

"There is one, but his identity is a little special."

Tsunade looked at Sarutobi with an inexplicable look in her eyes, "Then call them over and give it a try! We must understand the true nature of this power! Otherwise, the current situation in the village will never be resolved!"

Tsunade ultimately sided with her teacher, even though her recent exchanges with the Uchiha brat had diluted many of her prejudices against the Uchiha.

But the relationship between master and apprentice that has lasted for more than ten years is real. She is not a naive person and she can feel the political changes in the village.

When the Uchiha possessed this unreplicable weapon, suppressing the Uchiha became a complete joke.

Sarutobi nodded silently, then walked out of the research institute quickly. Not long after, he walked into Tsunade's laboratory again with a young figure.

When the boy took off his mask, Tsunade finally understood why her teacher was reluctant to bring him here at first.

After all, it’s still due to distrust.

Itachi followed the Third Generation into the laboratory full of bottles and jars, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"Itachi! The village now has an important task for you. If you can complete it, you will be the hero of the village, and you will gain the recognition of most of the ninjas in the village." Sarutobi said cautiously.

"Hokage, for the sake of the village, I am willing to give it a try!" Itachi's face turned serious when he saw Sarutobi speaking so seriously.

Sarutobi nodded to Tsunade, but Tsunade felt very embarrassed at the moment. She suddenly felt like she was deceiving a child.

But things have come to this point, and she would feel unwilling not to do anything. As long as she could understand the nature of that power, Tsunade was confident that she could grasp that power.

As Tsunade took out the box and opened the contents, Itachi's face immediately changed color and he became extremely silent.

Listening to Tsunade explaining her research these days and her requirements for him, Itachi felt much colder.

"I'm sorry, Hokage, I can't betray my brother!" Itachi's drooping little head suddenly raised up, and his eyes revealed a hint of determination. It is true that he has his own thoughts, but these thoughts have never come from betraying his brother.

"Itachi! All this is for the village. With this kind of elixir, the village's strength will definitely be greatly improved, and this way the village can avoid many wars." Sarutobi advised earnestly.

"Hokage-sama, let's not talk about whether I can see the energy that Lady Tsunade is talking about. Even if I can, I won't tell you!"

Itachi's face showed determination. If his brother knew about this, he would not just scold him again, but he would definitely lose his love.

This was definitely the last thing Itachi wanted to see, and when he thought about his brother no longer caring about him, Itachi's body couldn't help but shudder.

"Itachi, why are you so narrow-minded? If the village is at peace, your brother won't have to go to the battlefield anymore, the village can avoid more sacrifices, and Uchiha can also get true recognition from the village from this!" Sarutobi was filled with anxiety at this time.

"I'm sorry, Hokage. I think the peaceful coexistence between the Uchiha and the village is due to a lack of communication. If Hokage feels that this kind of elixir is beneficial to the village, I can go back and persuade my brother!" This was the biggest concession Itachi made in his heart, and he could only do this much.

Sarutobi was greatly disappointed. If Uchiha Yu, that brat, could be so easily persuaded, would he still be working so hard on his research? "

"Itachi! You disappoint me so much. Your thoughts have completely deviated from the will of fire. You are like this..."

"Enough! Teacher, he's just a child!" Tsunade quickly scolded Sarutobi to stop him from saying the next words.

Her eyes were filled with disgust. If Itachi had agreed as soon as he came, she might have pretended to be confused, but others disagreed. Tsunade just felt disgusted to force a seven-year-old child like this.

Sarutobi was stunned by his disciple's yelling, and didn't understand why Tsunade was so angry. It was not until he saw Itachi with his head completely lowered that Sarutobi realized that his eating habits were really ugly.

This was a complete departure from his previous image, and during this period he felt that he was increasingly unable to pretend to be as noble as before.

"It would be great if Danzo was still here right now, so he wouldn't have to do this kind of thing himself."

Sarutobi couldn't help but miss his former companions in his heart. It seemed that he had to find a way to allow Danzo to appear in the village openly, otherwise Konoha would only have light but no darkness, which would not work.

Just as Sarutobi was lost in thought, Tsunade comforted Itachi a few words and told him to leave.

Itachi was walking on the way home, feeling extremely lost. Had he really betrayed the will of fire?

Itachi raised his head and looked at the villagers around him, but all he sensed were malicious glances. He was extremely uncomfortable with these glances, as he had not felt such pure malice for a long time.

After taking a look around, Itachi discovered the problem. He was still wearing the clothes of the Anbu. At this moment, he seemed to understand something, and a gleam of light appeared in his small eyes.

"The village no longer hates the Uchiha, and a new hatred has emerged, that is the Anbu!" His little head turned quickly.

"So it's not me who betrayed the will of fire, but Lord Hokage!" A sense of enlightenment suddenly came to his mind, and he was frightened by his own thought.

Ignoring the disgusted looks around him, Itachi walked quickly towards his home.

"My brother is probably at home basking in the sun right now. I promised Sasuke that I would train with him today, so I can't be late. I am also a big brother now, so I have to follow his example and give my little brother enough love!"

As Itachi thought about these things, the loss in his heart dissipated unconsciously.
