Chapter 27 The Truth? Illusion?

“The situation has developed to this point…”

In Hokage’s office, Third Generation carried his hands on his back and looked into the distance through the windowsill. The rickety figure seemed weaker than usual, and a touch of sadness flashed through his dim old eyes, and deep helplessness in his words.



Behind him are three veteran figures representing Konoha’s senior leadership, and comrades-in-arms from the same era as him-Utatane Koharu, Mitokado Homura, and Shimura Danzō.

“There is no way. The Uchiha clan has long held resentment towards the village, so the rebellion is expected, Hiruzen, this is not the time to be soft-hearted.”

“Koharu is right. The Uchiha clan is too strong and not satisfied with the status quo. It is the most unstable place in the village. It is the most correct way to wipe it out, otherwise the village will remain in the shadow of Uchiha. .”

Third Generation took a deep breath of the pipe, and after spit it out, it just stood quietly, silent for a long time.

“I have already talked about Uchiha Itachi. As long as he does it, we can eradicate the Uchiha clan without a single soldier. Of course, the necessary preparations are still needed.”

Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura looked at Danzo in surprise. They are naturally familiar with the name Uchiha Itachi. He who is active in Anbu is now the best ninja in Anbu, and as a member of the Uchiha clan, with his power, If you launch a surprise attack inside the Uchiha territory, you can indeed minimize the loss.

Even Konoha’s civil war can be hidden. Itachi is indeed the best candidate in terms of ability, but—

“Is Uchiha Itachi credible?”

As if standing tired, Danzo walked to the side chair and sat down, glanced at the silent Third Generation, and then said in a deep voice:

“I promised to keep his brother Uchiha Sasuke alive and retain the reputation of the Uchiha clan as a condition, in exchange for Konoha’s peace. Of course, I can’t count on him alone, so I need Hiruzen’s Anbu and Gen to join forces to block first. In the territory of the Uchiha clan, if Itachi’s actions are unfavorable, Anbu will immediately take action and completely wipe out the Uchiha clan with the momentum of thunder to ensure that nothing goes wrong.”

“Itachi…? Indeed, alas…”

Third Generation, who had been silent for a long time, sighed deeply, and finally raised his head feebly. The confusion and hesitation instantly dissipated, replaced by an unshakable determination.

……………………………

“I said, even if I commit a crime, I am not obligated to listen to you, am I?”

Iruka looked at the colorful shopping bags in front of him with an uncomfortable expression, disgustingly said: “Why do I want to accompany you around? Is it the so-called reform through labor? Obviously I haven’t officially defined it as a prisoner.”

Xuanyue unceremoniously hung the shopping bag directly on Iruka, and then naturally said: “Isn’t it normal for a man to go shopping with a woman? If you are a man, don’t complain, and honestly help us get things.”

“Hey, don’t ignore the premise, it’s okay. It’s only interactions between acquaintances. You and I are not familiar to that point. It’s better to say that the relationship between you and me is just to the extent that we know each other’s names, even if we know each other. No, so I am not obligated to help you, do my own things by myself, you lazy woman.”

“Always be so pretentious, are you still a man?”

“Please, can you stop talking about gender in all topics? And don’t talk to me in that acquaintance’s tone, I emphasize once again, we are not familiar!”

“Yes, I know, so I beg you for these things.”

While talking, Iruka’s body was already full of shopping bags. After putting the last shopping bag on Iruka, Crescent Moon said with ease: “Then, it’s getting late, Mr. Iruka, the voyeur, it’s time to go back to the police department. .”

Iruka’s face became stiff, and then he sighed like a fate, and after using his ability to lighten the “burden” on his body, Iruka gave Xuanyue a white look and stopped talking.

He had already noticed that Xuanyue had made up his mind to punish him, and now it makes no sense to say anything. Honestly, go to the police department with her, and then just take one step. Mei has indeed suffered a big loss, and now it has become a matter of course to be rectified by them, as long as it is not too much, he has to stay close.

This time I was really hurt by Naruto that stinky kid! It seems that tomorrow’s training will have to be “focused” on him.

Iruka, who was thinking about how to toss Naruto tomorrow, didn’t actually blame Naruto too much for his pranks, nor did he alienate him, who caused him a big trouble, because he can understand why Naruto likes pranks so much. See him on weekdays. The nonsense here is like seeing a familiar figure once.

Without him, it’s lonely.

Because of loneliness, if you want to be lonely no longer, you need to attract the attention of others. Pranks are a way to make a deep impression, and it is also the easiest way.

Iruka’s temperament is not small enough to tolerate such non-malicious pranks, so he just intends to punish Naruto “a little bit”, and he doesn’t care about other things such as why Naruto incurs the disgust of the villagers.

Uchiha Izumi on the side looked puzzled at the conversation between the two as usual. You should know that Crescent Moon is usually a silent girl in front of people. It is rare that her friend can count it with the slap of a slap when she takes the initiative to talk to others. However, it is obviously abnormal to be able to talk so skillfully with a man who is not from the Uchiha clan so happily. As a result, Izumi couldn’t help but come up with a thought in her mind——

Could it be that… Sister Xuanyue likes this dead pervert?

The thirteen-year-old Quan Mei has reached the age when her love begins. Although she doesn’t know what it feels like, she wants to get close to someone, talk to someone, and see someone all the time. , And if you think about it carefully, doesn’t the abnormality of the crescent moon just correspond to it?

You have to know that Xuanyue is sixteen years old, and the feeling must be deeper than her, so the desire to pursue something beautiful is also stronger. For this reason, it is not impossible to act directly~

Thinking of this, Izumi cast a glance at Iruka who was walking in front of him, and then suddenly approached Crescent Moon’s ear, and asked in a low voice:

“Sister Xuanyue, do you like that man?”

Hearing that, Xuan Yue suddenly froze for a moment, and then asked dumbfoundingly: “What are you talking about nonsense, how could I like him?”

Xuanyue did not show a trace of the girl’s panic when she was knocked out of her mind, and her expression was not unusual, just like usual; seeing this, Quanmi was immediately confused:

“Eh? Isn’t it? Then why…”

“I just think that guy is very interesting. Talking to that guy will always relax inexplicably, and the troubles will disappear temporarily, well… it’s almost like those adults who get drunk and forget their troubles. Escape from reality.”

When the words fell, a cloud of haze flashed across Xuanyue’s face.

“Um… I’m sorry, what are you talking about sister Xianyue, why I don’t understand.”

Xianyue suddenly recovered, smiled self-deprecatingly, then shook his head and said: “It’s nothing, don’t care.”

“What are you two rubbing behind? It’s getting dark, and I don’t even know how the police department is going. You guys show me a way anyway!”

Hearing Iruka’s complaint in front of him, Xuan Yue smiled silently, speeded up his steps and followed up, leaving Izumi with a confused face still entangled in the same place.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on Iruka and Crescent Moon who are walking side by side, leaving long shadows behind them. From Izumi’s perspective, how do they look like a loving couple.

What Iruka didn’t know was that just because of Naruto’s prank, he accidentally got involved in a big event destined to be recorded in Konoha’s history!
