Itachi was fooled.
If he knew who the new candidate was about to join Akatsuki, he would regret lending money to Uehara today.
In the days to come, Uehara will continue to instigate Itachi to kill the new candidate.
The current Itachi does not know anything. After he and Kisame sneaked into Konoha, they only felt that Konoha's guard was a little tight. Itachi did not find information about Danzo, and they even fought with Kakashi's group.
After a fierce battle, the two had to choose to retreat.
In this battle, Kakashi suffered another disaster. Faced with an unseen Tsukuyomi, Kakashi, who had just been discharged, was admitted to the hospital again.
But Konoha also learned that Akatsuki wanted to take Konoha Kyuubi.
After Sasuke knew about this, his first thought was to find Naruto and help him avoid any danger.
As a result, Sasuke went too late and learned that Jiraiya had taken away Naruto. Because Jiraiya wanted to find Tsunade to serve as the Fifth Hokage. As for taking Naruto with him, it was for the convenience of protecting Naruto and training him.
Sasuke hurried to chase after him, hoping that Naruto could escape the tracking of Itachi and Kisame, but Itachi caught him instead.
Itachi sent his brother a Tsukuyomi as a greeting, so Sasuke was also hospitalized.
It was Jiraiya who pushed them back by himself, so the two had to give up the mission of capturing the Kyuubi.
Uehara watched all of this, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitched slightly, "You are really good, Uchiha Itachi! Without any result, you rashly leaked Akatsuki's information to Konoha. This spy should be punished…."
"..."
Kabuto pushed his glasses speechlessly and walked out from Uehara's back, "So this is why Naraku-sama wanted to get Sasuke? Is it because you hope that Sasuke can defeat Itachi?"
After speaking, Kabuto did not wait for Uehara's answer and took the initiative to continue, "Forgive me, but I don't think Sasuke can defeat his brother... According to my understanding, Itachi was the most talented Uchiha in their clan."
"Relax, I have full confidence in him."
Uehara shook his head and continued softly, "What about your side? What is Orochimaru doing now?"
Kabuto bowed his head respectfully and said, "Orochimaru-sama is studying White Zetsu's corpse, but his body will soon be unable to support it. The four Otonin members have accepted the order and will soon arrive in the Country of Fire to take away Sasuke."
"It looks like our plan is going well."
Uehara glanced at Itachi, clutching his eyes and fleeing with Kisame's support, and whispered, "Kakashi is seriously injured and hospitalized, so to avoid any trouble, I will re-enter Konoha tomorrow to get the Biological Science Research Laboratory equipment."
"Thank you very much."
Kabuto nodded and said with a chuckle, "After I finish my mission on Orochimaru-sama's side, I will rush to Amegakure to give Uehara-sama sufficient experimental results."
"That's good."
Uehara patted Kabuto's shoulder and looked very optimistic about him, "You can rush to Orochimaru's side now and help me watch him. I will regularly visit you secretly."
"..."
Kabuto nodded helplessly.
Was this visit a serious visit?
Uehara comes back to Konoha to take away the Biological Science Research Laboratory equipment stated in the agreement. Konoha was now weaker than a while ago, and the only strong Kage level in the village who could still fight was Guy alone.
When Koharu and Homura saw Uehara coming to get the equipment, they were a little surprised at why Uehara could still come back alive, even as the Ame envoy.
Was Hanzo too old to lift the knife?
"It seems the two consultants are surprised that I am still alive."
Uehara showed a smile and said softly, "Hanzo-sama was really angry when he learned that I gave up the condition for him to become Amekage. Unfortunately, the civil strife in Amegakure has not yet been resolved, so Hanzo-sama let me go for my meritorious service."
"Is it?"
Homura rubbed his forehead and said, "We are glad to see such a genius ninja..."
"I'm here to give the signed Book of Alliance."
Uehara was too lazy to pay attention to them, put aside the Book of Alliance Scroll in his hand, and continued, "And take away the Biological Science Research Laboratory equipment."
"There are some problems with Konoha's side."
Koharu took the Book of Alliance Scroll and whispered, "We may still need the signature of the newly appointed Fifth Hokage to ensure the long-term validity. It's just that she has something to do outside the village and has not yet returned. So for the time being, you may need to wait for a while."
Uehara immediately frowned and said, "Are the signatures of the two Konoha Senior Consultants and Jiraiya-sama uncounted?"
There was no need for Koharu to say who it was. Uehara has already guessed that the Konoha Fifth Hokage must be that woman Tsunade!
He doesn't want to see Tsunade!
What if Tsunade doesn't let him leave Konoha?
What's more, at that time, Konoha would have two Sannin present. Maybe they will dare to turn their faces and not admit it, so the sooner the matter was resolved, the better.
"No, we just think that the agreement between us can take effect for a long time after the Fifth Hokage sign the Book of Alliance Scroll."
Koharu spoke slowly and put on a look that was very considerate to Ame and Konoha, "In case we both retire in the future, and the Fifth Hokage thinks that our alliance between us was unreasonable... "
"I believe this will not happen."
Uehara interrupted Koharu and said in a deep voice, "Who knows what will happen in the future? If Konoha Fifth Hokage refuses to sign the contract, how should I explain it to Hanzo-sama!"
Uehara clenched his fist and continued to speak, "And recently I heard that there was a traitor, named Orphan, who is hyping the Third Hokage's deeds in your village. I don't think many ninjas will dare to believe in Hokage's credibility now? I would rather believe in Jiraiya-sama than the Hokage."
"..."
Koharu's face suddenly changed.
That Anbu was Sarutobi Hiruzen's confidant and the person they have been investigating secretly. How did Amegakure know about this?
Did that guy defect there?
Hiruzen really left them a big problem!
Koharu instantly calmed down and whispered, "How did your Excellency hear this news... Those are all slanders on the Third Hokage!"
"I don't care if it's slander..."
Uehara shook his head and continued, "But this will greatly reduce our trust in your village, and I must also go back to help solve the civil strife in the Country of Rain as soon as possible. I can't delay a day here!"
"Okay."
Koharu sighed and whispered, "If Amegakure encounters that traitor, please help us arrest him or pass on the corresponding information, and we will give Amegakure enough generous feedback and support."
Konoha cannot tolerate it.
First of all, the Anbu traitor called Orphan must not be allowed to run around or take refuge in a hostile Ninja Village. If Konoha's dark history was exposed, the blow to Konoha would be greater than the Third Hokage's death!
I'm afraid that Konoha will have a big problem from the inside.
While the news has not been completely spread, Anbu must be dispatched to search and capture that Anbu traitor who was more threatening than an S-class missing-nin!
Because Koharu and Homura had more important issues to solve, they stopped their entanglement with Uehara and directly gave him the Biological Science Research Laboratory equipment.
Kabuto knows too much about Konoha. It's just a traitor ninja created out of nothing, but it made the two Konoha consultants panic...
Who knows if there was really such a person?
When Uehara left Konoha, a piece of news made him raise his eyebrows. This was a weird hidden mission...
[Hidden mission: Hyuga Hinata becomes the clan head of the Hyuga clan (1/1)]
[The mission is completed,]
[Reward: Battle Dance.]
[Battle Dance: Quickly rush to the ally's side, granting them a layer of shield. The skill consumes 50 Chakra points, and a cooldown time is 7 seconds.]
Uehara was more amazed at Hinata becoming the Clan Head instead of the reward. This world was really getting more and more exciting...
Hyuga Clan.
As today's protagonist, Hinata, this white-eyed girl was really calm in this ceremony.
There was less cowardice on her face, and instead, it had more determination.
If you hadn't seen Hinata's former appearance with your own eyes. I guess everyone would not be able to tell that she was a cowardly girl more than half a month ago.
Sitting next to her was the paralyzed Hiashi. But the former Clans Head has a Caged Bird Cursed Seal on his forehead.
Because Hiashi now cant protect his Byakugan, he took the initiative to carve the Caged Bird Cursed Seal on his head as the last protective barrier, gathering the loyalty of many ninjas for his daughter.
Hinata tucked her robe, sat upright, and waited for the last step of the succession ceremony.
Divided lines of Hyuga ninjas knelt on the ground respectfully, saluting the 12-year-old girl Clans Head, and their voices echoed in the entire family's huge residence.
"We greet Hinata-sama!"
"Please...please get up."
The Hyuga girl's gentle voice was obviously inconsistent with her new identity. It was not particularly majestic and only made people feel a little bit cute.
