"Are you sure you want to take this path? When you take this path, it means that you have to bear all the misunderstandings and slanders of everyone and continue to go on. On this road, there will be no one who will be your companion, you may always be alone."
Hatake Satoru said to Itachi, and at the same time, everyone noticed Hatake Satoru's suppressed tone. This was the first time they had seen Hatake Satoru in this state.
"For the peace of the village, I have been prepared for a long time, Satoru-sensei."
Itachi looked at Hatake Satoru with determined eyes. These eyes have shown Uchiha Itachi's determination, he does not allow himself to back down.
"Then follow your own wishes, but if you encounter any difficulties outside, you can come back to me, I am always welcome here."
Hearing Hatake Satoru's compromise, a smile appeared on Uchiha Itachi's face. This smile was from Uchiha Itachi's heart.
Hatake Satoru didn't know how long it had been since he had seen a smile on Itachi's face. Shisui was the same. Shisui vaguely remembered that the last time he saw Itachi smile from his heart was several years ago.
"Hokage-sama, I want to go with Itachi to complete the task, I am willing to be Itachi's companion along the way."
Shisui knew that no one could change Uchiha Itachi's mind, but as his best friend, Shisui couldn't bear to see Itachi suffer alone, so he wanted to accompany him.
"Shisui."
Itachi said a word, obviously, he wanted to stop Shisui from going with him. Having him alone to bear this kind of pain is enough.
"Itachi, do you think you can silently kill all those who want to rebel with your own strength?"
Hearing Shisui's question, Itachi was stunned. He indeed does not have the strength to silently kill everyone now.
Once some noise is made and attracts the attention of others, even if the people who come may not be radicals, but for those who kill Uchiha, they will also be hostile.
Being discovered, not only will he be labeled as a traitor and a rebel ninja, but the Uchiha rebellion may also continue.
"Hokage-sama, please allow me to go with Itachi to carry out this task."
Shisui said to Minato again.
"Okay, I agree with you."
After thinking for a while, Minato nodded and said, after all, Shisui has such a perverted Genjutsu, away from the village, it can also make Minato feel more at ease.
This arrangement was unexpected to everyone, even Minato ten minutes ago did not expect that he would make such a decision.
Originally according to the plan, either Shisui or Itachi would carry out this task, but they didn't expect that both of them would carry it out at the same time.
But on the contrary, Satoru's heart was slightly relieved. With Shisui's company in the future, Itachi's heart should not be so painful.
"Then I'll leave the Uchiha clan to you."
"I'll Guarantee to complete the task, Hokage-sama."
Shisui and Itachi both showed a determined look and said in a strong tone.
"But after you complete this task, there is another task for you two to do."
Then, Minato's tone became serious again.
"Please speak Hokage-sama"
Seemingly also aware of the difficulty of the next task, Shisui and Itachi's expressions looked a bit heavy.
"Currently, an evil organization called Akatsuki has emerged in the ninja world. It gathers powerful ninjas from various villages. However, without exception, they are all rebel ninjas and people who have done many evil deeds. Orochimaru from our Konohagakure village is also in that organization."
"Orochimaru?"
Hearing this name, both Itachi and Shisui were somewhat surprised.
After all, the name Orochimaru is almost known to all ninjas in Konohagakure, even though he has already defected from Konohagakure village, but it cannot be denied that he has made a great contribution to Konohagakure.
And Orochimaru's strength, Shisui has also experienced, is very strong, otherwise, he would not be able to get the title of Konohagakure's Sannin.
"That Akatsuki organization is currently a huge threat to the ninja world, so I hope that after you leave the village, you can try your best to join that organization and report all their actions back."
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
"But you don't have to be under too much pressure, the most important thing is safety first. No matter when, I hope you can put your life in the first place. After all things are completely calmed down, Konohagakure village welcomes you back."
While Minato and others were discussing countermeasures against the Uchiha clan and the small organization, Danzo also quietly avoided all Anbu surveillance and found the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"What are you doing here, Danzo? Didn't I say that we should meet as little as possible in the future?"
However, Danzo seemed to have not heard the words of the Third Hokage, and sat down on his own.
In a dim secret room, only a candle lit the two of them. The candlelight cast the shadows of the two on the wall, making the whole room look a bit gloomy.
"Uchiha Chiba came to see me."
Danzo went straight to the point, and Uchiha Chiba was the great elder of the Uchiha clan.
"What did he come to see you for?"
The Third Hokage asked in confusion, and at the same time, a bad premonition rose in his heart, as if something big was about to happen.
"The Uchiha clan plans to take action against the village, he wants the Uchiha clan to become the master of Konohagakure village."
When he said this, a murderous aura appeared on Danzo's body. Obviously, he hated the idea of the Uchiha clan wanting to become the master of Konohagakure village.
Although Danzo sometimes does extreme things, it cannot be denied that some of the things he does are beneficial to the stability and development of Konohagakure village.
"Foolish dreams."
This is what the Third Hokage said.
"Yes, they are indeed foolish dreams. He wanted my root to hold the Anbu, and I didn't refuse"
"Why?"
The Third Hokage asked with a frown. In his impression, Danzo is not a person who would help Uchiha.
"Because this is an opportunity for us, he wants to use us to hold the Anbu, and why shouldn't we use them to remove our obstacles?"
Danzo doesn't ask them to get rid of Minato, just to get rid of Minato's left and right arms.
"Danzo, are you crazy, you are inviting wolves into the house."
Sarutobi Hiruzen angrily slapped the table.
"After the Uchiha clan occupies Konohagakure, do you think there will still be room for us to survive? Our situation will only be worse than it is now."
"You don't really think that the Uchiha clan has the strength to occupy Konohagakure, do you? When the time comes, the Uchiha clan will definitely suffer heavy losses, and Minato's line will also be hit hard. Then it will be time for us to reap the benefits."
