The years when I was forced to be the king of salted fish

Where does the soul go after death?Itachi, who had died once, gave the answer. They will go to the pure land, but unfortunately he got lost while going to the pure land. After going around, he returned to the original Konoha again.

Itachi lowered his head and watched the two Hokages who had been interrupted from their "rest" leave with a serious expression. He sincerely hoped that this would be the last time the undead were disturbed.

Just after Itachi "sent" away the two Hokages, he looked at the sealed scroll in his hand and released the psychic beast, letting it send a message to Yamato who blocked Hongdou and others, and their mission has been completed.

Everything now is in Itachi's plan, including Orochimaru's "self-casting net".Itachi chose to stop Hongdou and others in order to conceal the news of Orochimaru's appearance. Compared with handing Orochimaru to Konoha, Itachi still needs him more.

"Science can always be used in any corner." Itachi put away the scroll and said to himself.

……

After putting away Orochimaru, Itachi came to Sasuke's "battlefield" against time, and the civil war that was still in its intensified stage has come to an end at this time.Sasuke did not live up to Itachi's expectations, he successfully found the most suitable ally, a member of the Nara family who has no desire for power.

Itachi saw Nara Shikamaru who was already standing next to Sasuke, who was troublesome but had to do it, and was curious about how Sasuke persuaded the most troublesome young master of the Nara family.

The ferret standing on the branch like a bird looked down at the occupant with relish.

And Sasuke didn't notice the prying of Itachi from above.

……

How did Sasuke persuade Nara Shikamaru? In fact, Sasuke himself was a little uncertain. He said so much which Shikamaru he listened to, and it was that sentence that poked a hole in the usually lazy Nara Shikamaru.

Probably only Shikamaru himself knows about this matter.

What really moved Shikamaru was what Sasuke said, if there was such an infighting in their eyes, Konoha Village's Zhongnin Exam would probably fall short.Collective honor can stimulate Shikamaru's brain, and the boy who watched the excitement couldn't help but think of his father who worked with the third generation of Hokage. He didn't want to hear his father nagging about Konoha Shinobi's pass rate after the Chunin exam .

For his own ears, for the so-called collective honor, Shikamaru made his own choice.

The three members of the Inokacho team are family friends, and Shikamaru's decision represents the decision of the other two, and the other two will not even have any opinions.

With the addition of Ishikacho, the seventh squad, which was originally at a disadvantage, instantly turned the tide of the battle. The children of other families did not expect that Shikamaru would also choose.In the eyes of other families, the Nara family is different from them. The Nara family is Hokage's confidant. This alone is enough for other families to be jealous, and it is enough for Shikamaru to have the capital not to stand in line.

The Nara family, a family that got the Konoha Center tickets earlier than anyone else.

The older Hinata Ningji is more sober than Hinata Hinata. As the caged bird of the Hinata family, he wants to break free from the family but has been bound for the rest of his life. He thinks seriously from the perspective of the family, but he can't figure it out. Choice of pills.

So Neiji Hyuga seriously raised his doubts, and Shikamaru gave only one answer to this. He hates troublesome things. Compared with various problems that may arise in the future, it is the easiest thing to choose Uchiha now.

Itachi, who was standing on a tree branch watching the fun, put a smile on his face when he heard Shikamaru's words, his eyes lingered on Konoha's shinobi, in his eyes, Nara Shikamaru was very much like his father, as smart as him Reasonable, he is a suitable candidate to become the Sasuke Alliance.

As for Ningji Hyuga, the child of the Hyuga family, Itachi couldn't help but shake his head. He has always disliked the caged bird project of the Hyuga family.Itachi thought it was ninjutsu that controlled the bird in the cage. It wasn't until he saw Neji Hyuga that he realized that it was their own hearts that really bound the bird in the cage.

Ningji Hyuga, a child who wants to get rid of the caged bird, but struggles with family interests.

In Itachi's view, this battle belonging to Konoha Shinobi was just a boring children's fight, without too much technical content, and in the end it was all about the number of people.

So after Nara Shikamaru controlled Neiji Hinata with the shadow seam technique, Naruto Uzumaki, who has been serving as the main combat force, took the opportunity to steal Neiji Hinata's scroll, and the battle in the forest of death came to an end completely. .

If it wasn't for worrying about exposing his position, Itachi would like to applaud his precious brother, because he has found the most suitable ally.

Since Itachi had already ordered Anbu to release the resistance to the invigilators, Mitarai Anzu, who had sensed something was wrong early, came to Itachi, and as the person in charge of the second exam, Anzu looked at Itachi with a serious expression, and she took a step forward He wanted to grab Itachi's collar, but Itachi easily dodged it.

Itachi, who doesn't like physical contact, patted the folds on his clothes, and raised his eyebrows slightly to show what red beans are doing. Mitarai red beans are not a person who can bear their temper. Seeing Itachi's appearance, he feels that men are playing with him. So Hongdou said straight to the point: "You haven't discovered Konoha's rebellious ninja—Oshemaru."

Itachi would never tell Hongdou that Orochimaru was sealed in the scroll on his wrist, so Itachi shook his head and showed a puzzled expression.

"You mean Orochimaru sneaked into Konoha? Miss Mitarai, I think this is unlikely unless you can give me some evidence."

Itachi opened his hands and looked serious. He never lost when it came to pretending to be Itachi. At this time, Hongdou noticed that Itachi was lying, but she couldn't produce any evidence. She checked all the places where there were signs of fighting along the way, but she didn't feel it. Seeing the remnants from Orochimaru, but the curse mark that Orochimaru left on her body was faintly hot not long ago, which was the reason why Orochimaru was nearby.

In terms of the power of the Chunin Exam, Itachi's authority is higher than that of Hongdou, one of the chief examiners. Without substantial evidence, Hongdou cannot question Itachi, she can only watch Itachi make Leave after the decision to patrol around the examination room.Anko was angry but helpless, she looked down at another child of the Uchiha family, returned the scroll in her hand to Neiji Hinata, and underestimated in her heart, "The Uchiha family are really weird."

……

Itachi's departure made him miss the first important choice in Sasuke's life, and itachi regretted it every time he mentioned it later.

Just now, Shikamaru and Naruto played very well together and successfully got the scroll of the third class.Naruto, who succeeded in the sneak attack, cheered twice, and handed over the execution of the scrolls to Sasuke, but Sasuke actually chose to return the scrolls in his hand to his "enemy" Neiji Hyuga.

Sasuke's behavior surprised everyone present. You must know that the conflict between the Hyuga family and the Uchiha family is irreconcilable. Certain risks.

But Sasuke didn't play cards according to common sense, so he chose to return the scroll.

Sasuke's idea is very simple, if he wins, he must win in a dignified way for everyone to see, just like what Itachi taught him, he must win beautifully and win so that everyone has nothing to say, this is the last way to defend his dignity .

"Even if my brother is here, he will support my decision. Neji Hyuga, I will defeat you in front of all the families in the final."

Sasuke clenched his fist behind his back, trying hard to create momentum for himself.

It's a pity that Itachi didn't see all this. Itachi, who said he was patrolling and actually sneaked away, returned to his secret base in Konoha with the scroll that sealed Orochimaru.Looking around the entire secret base, the high-tech instruments and equipment are incompatible with the backward Konoha.

This is the last temptation Itachi is going to give Orochimaru, an experimental base he built by himself.

Before Itachi untied the seal of Orochimaru, he threw the sealed scroll into the container containing the nutrient solution. His hands were sealed, and his body appeared in the nutrient solution, and then Itachi released it. Today's "special guest" Orochimaru.

"Welcome to my base, Orochimaru."

Orochimaru, whose body was restrained and only his head could move, raised his head. He looked at the vessel containing the human body behind Itachi. There were golden hairs floating in the vessel. Orochimaru frowned slightly, showing a surprised expression.

"Little ghost of the Uchiha family, who are you?"

Itachi smiled, "I'm just an ordinary ninja who wants to be salted fish."
