The sixth training ground.
Itachi absently trained with kunai. For some reason, he felt uneasy since leaving the Anbu's Headquarters.
After a while, Kanpū hurriedly arrived.
When Itachi saw this, he panicked.
'Where is Big Brother Shisui?'
'Did he… what top secret mission did he receive?'
Itachi rushed forward to block Kanpū and asked: "Captain, where is Big Brother Shisui?"
"He has left Anbu." Kanpū said.
'I knew it…' Itachi remained calm and questioned: "Why did Big Brother Shisui quit Anbu? Is there a mission?"
Kanpū explained: "There is no mission. It's because his eyes are at risk of blindness, so it's not suitable for him to stay in the Anbu anymore, but don't worry, I used my connections to safely place him in the Military Police Force with my contacts. Well, I mean, not to go to jail, but to become an officer! Do you understand? Hey, what's with that look in your eyes?"
Itachi's expression became complex.
Many years ago, Shisui was regarded by Uchiha Clan as the successor of the position of Military Police Force's Captain, but then, Shisui resolutely joined Anbu. After many years, after being dismissed from the Anbu, Shisui had returned to the Military Police Force.
However, the current Military Police Force is no longer the Military Police Force of the Uchiha Clan. Even if Shisui became an officer, he will never become the Captain of the Military Police Force.
Itachi felt a sense of injustice towards Shisui, but quickly took a deep breath, silently blaming himself: 'I shouldn't think like that. Everything Big Brother Shisui does is for the village and for the clan! Besides, Father successfully became an Advisor, and it was indeed inappropriate for the Military Police Force to remain under our clan's control.'
After contemplating, Itachi said: "Captain, I want to leave the Anbu."
"Uchiha Itachi! Do you think you are the Anbu's Commander? Is the Anbu a place where you can come and go as you please?"
Kanpū was furious, "Don't underestimate Konoha's Anbu!"
"I just want to work with Big Brother Shisui." Itachi lowered his head.
Hearing this, Kanpū's eyes turned weird: 'I didn't expect that you are not only a brother in normal, but also a brother in… No, that guy Kakashi is trying to take over my sixth team!'
'How shameless!'
'Although there are many people in the sixth team, the pillars are Shisui, Tenzo and Itachi.'
'If Shisui and Itachi are both dragged to the Military Police Force, how can I, the captain, survive?'
"No, I absolutely cannot agree to your whims!" Kanpū said righteously, "Itachi, you are not just Shisuui's younger brother, but also a Shinobi of Konoha!"
Without giving Itachi a chance to speak, Kanpū continued, "Itachi, whether it is the Military Police Force or Anbu, both are part of Konoha. As Konoha's Shinobi, how can you pick and choose like this?"
"Occupation doesn't distinguish between high and low, and ambition isn't limited by age!"
"Stand on your tiptoe, get closer to the sunlight, and let us be warm men!"
After pouring a series of chicken soup, Itachi became dazed and forgot about resigning.
Kanpū then decisively started hellish training and tortured Itachi… training him to the point of exhaustion, in case he had too much energy to let his imagination run wild.
'It was tough on the other members, sigh… Itachi, oh, Itachi, look, how many people have you inadvertently harmed!'
At the same time.
Land of Wind, Sunagakure.
In the Kazekage's Building.
Yondaime Kazekage, Rasa, is in the process of drafting the list of individuals to participate in this year's Chunin Exam in Konoha. At the top of the list was his eldest daughter, Temari.
Temari's talent and strength made her a standout among her peers, and since last year, she has occasionally accompanied Baki for missions out of the village, accumulating rich combat experience.
'If Sunagakure wants to get a good place in the Joint Chunin Exam, we must send Temari!'
Rasa contemplated for a moment and had the Anbu summon Baki.
"Kazekage-sama, are you looking for me?" Baki greeted respectfully.
Rasa instructed: "Change all of Temari's classes for the next few months to field training. Baki, you'll be responsible for this."
"Is it for the Joint Chunin Exam held by Konoha?" Baki asked.
Rasa nodded expressionlessly.
"I understand." Baki had no objection, and turned away after being dismissed.
Rasa lowered his head and continued to review the list of names, finally finalized all the lists by noon.
"Kazekage-sama, your lunch is here."
About 12 o'clock, Kazekage's bodyguard brought a sumptuous lunch.
Rasa nodded in satisfaction at this.
After the Kazekage's bodyguard left, Rasa opened the lunch box.
In the two palm-sized lunch boxes, there were no rice balls, no tamagoyaki, and certainly no carrots- There's only a small white snake!
Rasa's pupils shrank, and the Chakra inside his body boiled instantly. Numerous gold dust instantly diffused out of his sleeves.
"Wait a minute." A cold voice came from the mouth of the white snake, followed by the snake opening its mouth, and a black-haired man covered in viscous fluids emerged.
"Orochimaru…"
Rasa wasn't intimidated by Orochimaru's insidious tricks. He looked at Orochimaru calmly and asked, "Why did you appear here?"
"I'm here to help you!" Orochimaru replied with a sinister smile.
"You're here to help me?" Rasa looked skeptical, but then immediately thought of something. He then lowered his head and looked at the list on the table.
"The Joint Chunin Exam in Konoha … This is our opportunity…"
Orochimaru, trusting others without suspicion, straightforwardly revealed his Konoha Crush Plan to Rasa.
Orochimaru was so honest for two reasons. Firstly, although Sunagakure and Konoha had an alliance, alliances were meant to be broken. And considering the grievances between Sunagakure and Konoha, as long as there is enough benefits, nothing is unbreakable!
Secondly, Orochimaru's Konoha Crush Plan includes the power of Otogakure's Shinobi, Sunagakure's Shinobi and even the Biju, Ichibi, but did not involve the Kazekage.
Orochimaru must get rid of Rasa even before the Konoha Crush Plan is initiated! Otherwise, when Konoha showed unexpectedly strong power during the plan, Rasa would surely backstab him. In order to avoid this, the death of Rasa was necessary for Orochimaru to feel secure.
Rasa's face showed a hint of interest, but he couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
'Orochimaru, you idiot, you really don't know anything at all!'
'Konoha already has someone who has awakened Wood Release as powerful as Shodaime Hokage!'
'With someone like that in Konoha, even a hundred of you can never defeat Konoha!'
'However, I can pretend to cooperate with you and wait for an opportunity…'
'Hmph hmph hmph hmph…'
Thinking of his triumph, Rasa couldn't help but chuckle.
Orochimaru said: "What are you laughing at?"
"I'm happy."
Rasa stretched out his hand, "Happy cooperation, Orochimaru!"
Orochimaru squinted his eyes and said, "Then, let us look forward to the Joint Chunin Exam three years later together."
