Naruto, be my son.

Kakashi's head is full of black lines.

but……

He did it anyway.

Kakashi had a gloomy face and released a few water ninjutsu to clean the ground. Then he prepared to use a few earth ninjutsu to fill the ground.

He felt like a dignified jonin who had become a construction worker.

Fortunately, there was no one he knew nearby, and no one who knew him... This way, it wouldn't be too embarrassing, right?

"Senior Kakashi?" Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded from behind: "Hokage asked me to come and see what happened."

That was the voice of Itachi, who was hiding behind the ANBU mask.

"Senior, what are you doing?"

Itachi's tone was quite puzzled.

Kakashi: "..."

Gan!

……

……

Thanks to "Delicious Claypot Rice", "Turning Back a Smile You Love Me", "Handsome Victory V", "Fengzhu Jushi", "obiwan", "Zero Point Starry Sky" for their generous support! !

thank you boss!

Boss atmosphere!

Chapter 18: Little devil, are you here to take my life too?

Although Uchiha Itachi is only 11 years old this year and is just a newcomer in the Anbu, he is already highly valued by Sarutobi Hiruzen in the Anbu.

Not only because he is so powerful despite his young age.

Moreover, he is the son of Uchiha Fugaku.

The identity is too special!

Itachi and Kakashi knew each other. When they were not on a mission, they usually guarded the door for Sarutobi Hiruzen.

That's why.

The first thing Uchiha Itachi called Kakashi when he arrived here was "Kakashi-senpai". He was indeed very confused and didn't quite understand what Kakashi meant by using the Earth Escape Technique here.

Subsequently.

Itachi noticed that there was a tall figure next to Kakashi, but because the other person was too tall and strong, he first thought it was two telephone poles sticking out of the ground.

A closer look revealed that they were human legs.

When I looked up, I realized it was a person.

This is……

hiss!

It's the "giant" mentioned by Hokage!

"Hey! Itachi, you're just in time." Kakashi looked like nothing had happened. He walked over and patted Itachi on the shoulder: "Here, there's something I need your help with."

"Senior, I'm wearing an ANBU mask..." Itachi whispered, "Don't call me by my name."

"Oh! Itachi, help me fill the ground. I will use earth jutsu to fill the ground, and you can use fire jutsu to dry the mud." Kakashi responded, but turned around and forgot Itachi's reminder.

Uchiha Itachi: "..."

Take a deep breath.

Itachi inquired, "Senior Kakashi, I came here on orders from the Hokage to see what's going on here."

He looked at the devastation around him.

Then he looked at the giant again.

His face was solemn.

He asked in a low voice: "Did a fight take place here? Kakashi-senpai, did you fight with that giant?"

"Don't talk nonsense, it's not me, it's the root."

Kakashi immediately distanced himself from the matter again.

"The Root?" Itachi was stunned: "I don't see anyone from the Root?"

"It's there!" Kakashi pointed to the sewer. He opened his eyes wide and said calmly, "Go in and look around. Maybe you can find some of their meat or pieces of their masks."

Uchiha Itachi: "!!!"

Although Kakashi's words were a little euphemistic, Uchiha Itachi was no fool. He immediately realized that all the Root ninjas were dead!

Death at the hands of a giant!

moment.

His hand reached for the ninja sword, but was quickly held back by Kakashi. Under Uchiha Itachi's puzzled gaze, Kakashi said: "The Root acted on its own without the Hokage's orders, and their attack almost affected Naruto."

"But he killed the Konoha ninja!" Uchiha Itachi didn't quite understand why Senior Kakashi watched the Root ninja die?

Kakashi's dead fish eyes showed no emotion.

But he kept holding Uchiha Itachi's hand.

Kakashi said to Itachi: "Don't conflict with Whitebeard without the order of Hokage-sama. Uchiha Itachi, you are a member of the Anbu. The death of the Root people has nothing to do with you."

"They acted without the order of the Hokage. They died because of it, and it has nothing to do with us in Konoha. I see that you are still a newcomer, so I will give you a little warning."

If it were any other time.

Kakashi was too lazy to say so much. What did Uchiha Itachi want to do have to do with him?

but.

Tonight is different!

Uchiha Itachi is a member of the Anbu together with him. Once Uchiha Itachi attacks Whitebeard, Kakashi really can't just stand by and watch. He will most likely have to assist Uchiha Itachi in dealing with Whitebeard.

Although he never actually fought against Whitebeard.

But after seeing Whitebeard take action several times.

Kakashi thinks...

It’s better not to mess with this person.

He is not a traitor to Konoha, and this is not a war period. There has been no order from the Third Hokage, and there is no paternal hatred between the two sides.

How much is the monthly salary?

Just fight to the death?

"Gulala!" Whitebeard looked at Uchiha Itachi with interest: "You two little brats are whispering a little too loudly! Is it another masked brat? Are you here to take my life too?"

"No, he just came to see what happened."

Kakashi pulled Uchiha Itachi aside.

He explained to Whitebeard: "We are not in the same department as the dozen or so people before us."

Uchiha Itachi didn't speak.

He could see that Kakashi-senpai was very afraid of this giant, which made him feel quite incredible. Itachi felt that he had a better understanding of what kind of person Kakashi-senpai was.

An existence that can make Kakashi-senpai afraid.

Definitely a dangerous person!

then.

Uchiha Itachi, who was forcibly held down by Kakashi, could only work with Kakashi to clean up the surrounding area.

Then, he didn't stay here long.

Go straight back to the Hokage Building.

……

Uchiha Itachi did not take the usual route. He did not go through the main entrance, but came in through the window of the Hokage's office.

He saw the Sandaime Hokage smoking a pipe.

The whole office was filled with smoke.

"Itachi, why are you back so late?" Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and said, "It's been almost half an hour since you went there. Konoha is not that big, so a round trip shouldn't take that long, right? Did you encounter any difficult problems? Is Naruto okay?"

"Hokage-sama." Facing Sarutobi Hiruzen's series of questions, Uchiha Itachi reported truthfully: "The Jinchūriki is in good condition, but something unexpected did happen."

He told all the information he got from Kakashi, including but not limited to the assassination of Whitebeard by the Root, and how Whitebeard forcefully eliminated the Root ninja.

Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned even more tightly.

The fist glowed white, and a punch instantly killed more than a dozen Root ninjas from a distance? Why does it sound so much like Ohnoki's Dust Release? But after careful consideration, it doesn't seem to be Dust Release.

Is it a special ninjutsu?

Similar to Rasengan?!

In Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes, Whitebeard's powerful strength is even higher.

It made him feel more and more difficult.

and also……

"...Danzo!" Sarutobi Hiruzen was extremely troubled: "He actually bypassed me and directly ordered the Root to attack Whitebeard. Does he still have me, the Hokage, in his eyes?"

The key is.

Danzo was too arrogant. He thought that this was Konoha's home ground and he could just send an assassination team to get rid of a person from another village.

As a result, the assassination team was completely wiped out.

There was also a big fuss.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little annoyed. He didn't like the feeling of not being controlled by him, even if that person was also a high-ranking official of Konoha. Moreover, the people under Danzo's command almost hurt Naruto. What if the tailed beast Nine-Tails was released?

Who will clean up the mess?

"Danzo is becoming more and more dishonest." Sarutobi Hiruzen knew the ambition of his old friend: "It seems that some of the authority of the Root can be slightly restricted and reduced."

Uchiha Itachi pretended not to hear about this kind of game between high-level officials.

But I didn't expect it.

Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly asked him, "Itachi, what do you think of the Uchiha clan's recent unusual behavior?"

Uchiha Itachi was slightly shocked.

He lowered his head and said, "The Uchiha clan..."

Before he could finish his words, Sarutobi Hiruzen interrupted him and said, "I won't make things difficult for you. If things can be handled through negotiation, there is no need to use some drastic measures."

He said earnestly, "Itachi, the future of the Uchiha rests in the hands of young people like you and Shisui."

"Don't be influenced by those people."

Sarutobi Hiruzen meant something.

"Yes, Hokage-sama!"
