Chapter 33

The New Year in the Hokage world is similar to the neon of the previous life. The activities are basically prepared a few days ago, but on the New Year’s day, they are free.

Everyone rushed to the streets to have fun, old people, adults, children…

The streets were full of joy and laughter.

At night, as the fireworks bloomed in the sky, the atmosphere reached its climax.

People looked up to the sky one by one, watching fireworks of different colors and shapes bloom in the sky, with smiles on their faces.

After that, the fireworks became less and people began to parade.

Adults and children wear masks and play in the bustling streets.

Lanterns, Hanabi, masks…

Cheers and laughter constituted this festive day.

Kuroyoshi and Naruto also mixed in the crowd to join in the fun.

Especially Naruto, holding two fire whips in his hand and igniting them, drew a circle of bonfires, attracting countless children to watch.

Kuroyoshi didn’t like making noise, and stood watching from afar.

But I was thinking about Itachi.

He said yesterday that he would start acting today.

It’s already night, it’s the climax of the Spring Festival, and it’s also the time when people relax their vigilance the most.

If you want to act, there is only now.

Will he go well?

“Kurayoshi, we are throwing a circle over there, let’s go and see!”

In the distance, Naruto’s voice awakened Kuroyoshi.

He looked up and saw that the fire whip in Naruto’s hand had been burned out, and he was looking at a stall in front of him surrounded by many people.

During the Spring Festival, there are more booths for playing games.

“Okay, let’s take a look!” Kuroyoshi nodded and followed Naruto.

No matter what he is doing, I just need to live my life well.

Unlike the bustle on the street, the Hokage building is very quiet at this time.

After the New Year, the office staff and the ninja are on holiday, and only one or two guards on duty are still there.

Of course, Sarutobi Hiruzen is also there.

As Hokage, he has a lot to do.

In particular, the conflict between Uchiha and the village has deepened, making the already busy official duties even more onerous.

Although it was the Spring Festival at this time, he had to stay in the Hokage building to work overtime.

Under the light, Sarutobi Hiruzen is reviewing documents.



Suddenly, the lights flickered, and when it returned to normal, there was already one more person in the office.

Dressed in Anbu costume, wearing a civet mask, half kneeling at the desk.

Sarutobi raised his head and shifted his gaze from the document to the figure that suddenly appeared, and the wrinkles on his brows became more frowning.

“Itachi, what happened to me coming to see me at this time?”

Although wearing a mask and lowering his head, Sarutobi still recognizes the identity of Anbu in front of him from his breath.

only……

As a double agent, he kept spreading information in Uchiha and the village, and suddenly came to find himself during the Spring Festival holiday…

This gave Sarutobi a bad feeling in his heart.

Could it be that Uchiha…

In his thoughts, Itachi raised his head, and a pair of blood-red pupils had a hexagonal diamond shape, which resembled a snowflake spinning rapidly.

The surrounding environment suddenly becomes illusory, as if reality alternates with dreams.

Sarutobi glanced left and right calmly, his face gradually becoming serious.

He put the documents in his hand back on the table, then took out his pipe to light it, took a deep breath, and then slowly spit it out, his old face was covered with a layer of sadness.

“Itachi, do you know what it means to shoot for Hokage?”

“Betrayed the village.” Kaidō without any emotion.

Sarutobi looked at Itachi, who was half-kneeling at the desk, his muddy eyes flickered slightly, Uchiha Itachi’s growth process was flipped in his mind, and his personality, character, pursuit, and beliefs emerged one by one.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled, “I believe you will not betray the village.”

“I didn’t intend to betray the village.”

No plan, that is to say, if it is necessary, do you not mind betraying it?

Sarutobi pondered Itachi’s answer in his mind.

And Itachi looked at him openly and continued: “Tskuyomi, can pull the consciousness of others into a world constructed entirely by spirit, in this world, time and space are all controlled by me, no matter how long it takes, There is only a moment outside, so it cannot be relieved by usual means.”

“This kind of illusion, and that strange Sharingan, Itachi…” Sarutobi looked at him suspiciously.

“Yes, this is Mangekyō Sharingan.” Itachi said in a low voice, “Shisui found me after being snatched one eye by Danzo. He entrusted the remaining eye to me, hoping that I can settle the family and the village peacefully. Contradictory, and then jumped into the river in front of me and committed suicide.”

Hearing Itachi mentions Shisui, Sarutobi’s mood also becomes heavy.

He lowered his gaze, stared at the desk top, and sighed: “I’m sorry about Shisui, but…”

“I don’t have any unusual thoughts. Apart from being sad for Shisui, I have been thinking about how to resolve the conflict between the family and the village.” Itachi interrupted Sarutobi.

Although he was kneeling halfway in front of Sarutobi, his eyes were not timid, “Shisui’s death awakened me with the same eyes as him. No, it should be a stronger eye. In addition to my unique pupil technique, it is also Awakened with the same pupil technique as him.”

“Could it be that…” Sarutobi looked at Itachi in shock, his old body trembling slightly.

“Yes, it’s Distinguished Heavenly Gods.”

Itachi admitted it generously, although some facts were not as he said.

Sure enough!

Sarutobi’s cloudy eyes widened slightly.

Although he had such a conjecture when he heard Itachi mention it, but when he heard Itachi admit it, he couldn’t help but breathe in cold air.

The technique of Distinguished Heavenly Gods is really too BUG.

As long as he knows the existence of this technique, and the person who knows the Master technique has appeared in front of him, he can’t help but wonder whether he has been changed his mind or has been manipulated.

But Sarutobi deserves to be the Hokage who has been in office the longest. He is very good at controlling his emotions. Apart from the a little strangeness just now, he can’t see any surprises on the news on his face.

He looked at Itachi in silence for a long time before asking, “Do you want to use Distinguished Heavenly Gods on me?”

“I have used it for the family, and it will take more than ten years before I can use it again.” Itachi said lightly.

Sarutobi sighed deeply, his restless heart from Distinguished Heavenly Gods calmed down a bit.

At the same time, Itachi’s words indicate that the conflict between Uchiha and the village can be resolved peacefully, and the burden that has been pressing on my heart has been relaxed a lot.

But facing the person in front of him, Sarutobi felt guilty, but at the same time very pleased.

Although it is Uchiha, it perfectly integrates the will of fire. Perhaps Konoha’s new era will be provoked by him.

If he can, he also hopes to see Uchiha’s head on the Hokage cliff.

Sarutobi thought to himself, but his face was full of apology, “Sorry, this was supposed to be done by me as Hokage, but in the end Uchiha had to sacrifice his own interests to give in.”

“You don’t need to apologize to me. I didn’t let the family regress.” Itachi shook his head slightly. “Uchiha has done nothing wrong. They have no reason to be treated like this. If the conflict between the family and the village is peacefully resolved, the village needs to do it. Make a concession.”
