Watching him walk slowly and then stop to wash up, wash his face, and tidy his messy hair, removing the alcohol smell that could kill a person.
After finishing, he took out some jerky from his mouth, eating it with relish by the creek.
"Want some?" He gestured with the jerky in his hand.
Kazuki rolled his eyes, "No need, you can eat it yourself."
Itachi"s mouth twitched slightly.
Just now, Jiraiya was washing by the creek, and immediately after washing, he took out jerky to eat, not forgetting to scoop water with his hand to drink.
You should know that the flow of this creek is very slow.
Jiraiya's behavior was equivalent to drinking the water he used for washing and eating jerky.
Jiraiya, who was accustomed to being sloppy since childhood, didn't mind being disliked. He sat directly on the ground, gnawing on the jerky and chatting with Kazuki about various things.
"By the way, I heard that your Uchiha clan has been having some unpleasant encounters with the Shimura clan recently?"
'What does Lord Jiraiya mean by this?'
Itachi glanced at Kazuki, who shook his head at him and then sat on a nearby rock:
"It's okay, just a small conflict, nothing compared to Lord Danzo. After all, despite the uproar outside, Lord Danzo still uses various shameless methods to target the Uchiha, causing us significant trouble."
'Indeed, the Uchiha hate Danzo, especially Kazuki Uchiha.'
'No wonder he dared to publicly curse in the Police Department.'
After eating a few pieces of jerky, Jiraiya packed up the rest, saying regretfully:
"Actually, after the Night of the Nine Tails, I also investigated that mysterious man who claimed to be Uchiha Madara, but unfortunately found no clues."
No information at all, like a headless fly, finding anything would be a miracle.
Who would have thought that this mysterious man was Uchiha Obito!
Not to mention others, even Minato-sensei didn"t recognize Obito.
Aside from Jiraiya, probably no one in Konoha would openly discuss the Night of the Nine Tails with the Uchiha.
Kazuki slightly raised his eyebrows.
He could see that Jiraiya was talking about these things mainly to ease the tension between the Uchiha and the village,
He definitely couldn't persuade the Third Hokage and the others.
Since he couldn't persuade them, he had to start with the Uchiha.
No wonder he arranged a temporary clan mission, specifically naming him to participate. So this was the reason.
Interesting, the higher-ups couldn't be persuaded, so they chose to start with the Uchiha.
It's funny because Jiraiya is also a high-level figure in the village, just without the corresponding position.
"Actually, over the years, our Uchiha clan has also been trying to investigate this mysterious masked man claiming to be Uchiha Madara. If we don't catch him, the misunderstanding between the Uchiha and the village will be hard to resolve."
"Unfortunately, years of investigation have yielded no valuable information."
Kazuki shook his head regretfully, straightforwardly pointing out the relationship between the clan and the Uchiha:
"Because of the Second Hokage's prejudice and discrimination, the relationship between the Uchiha and the village deteriorated step by step. The Night of the Nine Tails further tore a deep rift between the village and the Uchiha."
The bad relationship between the clan and the village was caused by the Second Hokage's prejudice?
Kazuki's words left Jiraiya speechless, and Itachi couldn't help but frown.
Most of the information he had indicated that the bad relationship between the clan and the village was caused by the Uchiha.
But Kazuki said it was the Second Hokage, and Jiraiya didn't refute it.
Could Shisui be wrong?
Kazuki pretended to have a headache.
"Actually, I'm very confused right now. I hope the rift between the clan and the village can be mended, but I don't know where to start. The Uchiha are always surrounded by surveillance, rejection, and hiding."
"The Uchiha's important tasks are monitored wherever they go. It's very difficult to leave the village, and getting a job arranged by the village is even harder."
"What's incomprehensible is that when the Uchiha sacrifice for the village, when the Uchiha bleed for the village, those who should be heroes of the village don't receive corresponding rewards and treatment. Instead, their merits are recorded quietly, even hidden."
'How should I respond?'
'The script shouldn't go like this.'
Kazuki laid out a series of unfair treatments the Uchiha received, leaving Jiraiya at a loss.
"Jiraiya, as a high-ranking person in the village, please tell me, what should I do to repair the rift between the clan and the village, which is deeper than the Valley of the End?"
In the end, Kazuki threw the ball back to Jiraiya.
You want to ease the relationship between the village and the Uchiha, to prevent both sides from approaching a dangerous edge?
Then please show me, show the Uchiha a clear path!
What should the Uchiha do to eliminate misunderstandings, to get the higher-ups to stop monitoring us, to erase this prejudice?
"Hmm~~~"
Jiraiya sat cross-legged, resting his right hand on his knee, palm flat, and propping his chin, looking troubled.
Kazuki's question was hard to answer.
It was a hot potato.
Itachi, with a few traces of expectation in his eyes, was also waiting for Jiraiya's answer.
Jiraiya, a high-ranking person in the village, such a big figure, should be able to give a targeted response.
Propping his chin and hmming for a long time, Jiraiya finally laughed awkwardly:
"Haha, this question is a bit troubling. The old man and the others have their prejudices, which is wrong. But the Uchiha also have their problems. Putting aside the mysterious man on the Night of the Nine Tails, the Uchiha themselves are not peaceful, the hardliners are always a problem."
"The hardliners want to solve problems through a coup, which will only deepen the misunderstandings and conflicts with the village."
"So, if the hardliners stop stirring up coups, and the Uchiha manage to handle them, make them disappear, the village's prejudice against the Uchiha will disappear, the village will no longer target or monitor the Uchiha. Is that what you mean?"
Jiraiya was laughing awkwardly, and Kazuki, seizing the moment, twisted his words into a sharp jab.
Wait, although I wanted to express that the hardliners shouldn't act recklessly, that's not what I meant!
Jiraiya panicked because both Kazuki and Itachi's eyes were already filled with intense killing intent, seemingly ready to target the clan's hardliners.
"Wait, don't rush, that's not what I meant, I just..."
Jiraiya explained in a flurry, but the more he explained, the more confused his mind became.
Finally, he realized that he couldn't take back what he had said.
Denying it would mean he was no different from the Third Hokage and others.
Admitting it would mean that if the Uchiha really dealt with the hardliners and didn't get what they wanted, he, Jiraiya, would be greatly at fault.
"As expected..."
Shaking his head in disappointment, Kazuki stood up and patted his clothes, saying, "It's about time, we should depart."
