"I would like to request to return to the village and become a ninja of Konoha again!"

Uchiha Itachi knelt down again, lying on the ground, and begged seriously.

The successive impacts made Jiraiya almost fall to the ground.

"What did you say?!"

"Everything I did to the village before can be explained. You can summon Danzo Shimura immediately. All my actions are for the Hidden Leaf Village. He can help me prove this."

Uchiha Itachi chattered non-stop.

Outside the door, Uchiha Sasuke, who was eavesdropping, felt a rush of blood rushing straight to his forehead.

What does this man mean by coming back?

Not finished? !

But in the end, Sasuke chose to suppress his anger.

I want to hear more about how Master Toad plans to deal with this matter.

Just listen, in the Hokage's office, Jiraiya has recovered from the shock, waved his hand and said:

"There's no need to look for Danzo. Sasuke has already told me everything about your family."

Hearing this, Uchiha Itachi couldn't help but change his expression.

He was surprised at how honest Sasuke was to Jiraiya, that he would even tell him such a thing.

At the same time, Uchiha Itachi was also surprised by the trust in Sasuke that Jiraiya did not need to find Danzo to confront.

Will that child be so close to other people?

Thinking of this, Uchiha Itachi couldn't help but feel a sad feeling in his heart.

"Our family, Sasuke, is grateful for your care these years."

Uchiha Itachi spoke sincerely, but Jiraiya didn't want to hear it at all.

"Come on, don't make it sound like how close you are to Sasuke."

Jiraiya couldn't help but think of the last time he and Uchiha Itachi met.

At that time, Uchiha Itachi was still wearing the clothes of the Akatsuki organization, and he and his teammate Hoshigaki Kisame sneaked into the Hidden Leaf Village with the intention of harming Uzumaki Naruto.

In Jiraiya's opinion, Uchiha Sasuke at that time was teetering on the boundary between light and darkness.

The two ends of the tug-of-war are himself, who firmly believes that Sasuke is the "Son of the Prophecy", and the Uchiha Itachi in front of him, who makes Sasuke indulge in hatred.

"You have to tell me what caused such a huge change in your thoughts?"

Although, there was no malice in Uchiha Itachi's request.

But facing the other party's 180-degree change, Jiraiya still felt very unsure, and finally decided to ask the other party directly.

"Yes, a huge failure."

Uchiha Itachi replied in a deep voice.

"Now that you have learned the truth about the annihilation of the Uchiha clan, you can definitely understand my situation and painstaking efforts at that time.

"In my original plan, all the hatred and darkness of the Uchiha clan would be borne by me alone.

"My most cherished brother, Uchiha Sasuke, will also become the hero of Konoha after killing me, bringing a perfect end to all these evils.

"However, someone leaked the truth to Sasuke early, so that he had to face the bloody truth and reality directly."

"I'll interrupt you. The exclusive story you made up for him is much more gory than reality."

Jiraiya couldn't help but interjected.

"That's the only way to protect both Konoha and Sasuke."

Uchiha Itachi replied calmly without changing his expression.

"Then are you requesting to return this time for Konoha or for Uchiha Sasuke?"

Jiraiya's eyes were sharp and he directly asked the key to the problem.

"It's both for Konoha and Sasuke!"

Uchiha Itachi suddenly raised his head and looked directly at the Fifth Hokage.

"I have been thinking about it for a long time in the past few days. I finally understand that if I can only choose one thing, then the most important thing to me is my favorite brother, Uchiha Sasuke!"

Uchiha Itachi seemed to be caught in some kind of memory, his expression softened slightly.

"If Sasuke decides to be detrimental to Konoha, I will do my best to stop him. However, before that, if Konoha decides to take action against Sasuke, I will also fight to the death to save his life.

"All in all, I will no longer interfere with any of Sasuke's choices. But I will also stick to what I want to protect.

"Konoha needs me! Sasuke needs me too! I will keep my life between the two, please agree and let me come back!!"

Uchiha Itachi fell into some kind of excitement again, and then he crawled on the ground again, begging loudly.

Jiraiya sat behind his desk, looking down at the man quietly.

I somewhat understood why Sasuke kept saying he was a madman.

However, as the Hokage, Jiraiya also has his own rational judgment in his mind.

On the one hand, if Uchiha Itachi comes back, he will undoubtedly be an important combat power addition to Konoha Hidden Village.

On the other hand, considering that after Sasuke joins ANBU, he is likely to encounter danger during the mission, and he will not be able to stay with his disciple at all times.

Wouldn't it be nice to have such a free bodyguard?

Thinking of this, Jiraiya slowly said:

"Okay. You"

"I disagree!!"

The door of the Hokage's office was suddenly pushed open, and Uchiha Sasuke stood at the door aggressively, glaring at the two people in the room.

"What did I tell you? You can live or die, go wherever you want, do whatever you want!

"I'm just begging you to stay away from me. I've said all the nice things, why can't you understand?!"

However, after seeing Sasuke's intrusion, Uchiha Itachi's expression did not change at all.

He looked calm, stood up, turned to Sasuke and said:

"This is a conversation between me and Hokage-sama, it has nothing to do with you. Besides,"

Uchiha Itachi turned around again, cupped his hands to Jiraiya and said:

"I have important information to report to you regarding the 'Akatsuki Organization'."

Hearing this, Uchiha Sasuke also turned around and stared at Jiraiya.

There was a mixture of anger and pleading in his eyes.

"Look, look, I haven't spoken yet, why are you so anxious?"

Jiraiya, who knew Sasuke's character very well, laughed it off, and while thinking rapidly in his mind, he comforted Sasuke:

“Can I not ask for your opinion on this kind of thing first?!

"It just so happens that you can save me the trouble of looking for you when you come. Just close the door first and let's discuss it together. Is that okay?"

After hearing this, Uchiha Sasuke's anger gradually subsided. As he closed the door, he looked back at Jiraiya, wanting to hear what he could say.

Jiraiya also stood up and said to Uchiha Itachi:

"Well, I think it's reasonable for you to want to come back. After all, everything you do is for the village. You have suffered a lot outside in these years."

"Jiraiya!"

Sasuke was really anxious and actually called out his master's name.

"but!!"

Jiraiya immediately changed the topic and continued: "But, doesn't Sasuke have a reason to hate and worry about you?!

"If you were him, would you be able to accept such a person wandering around beside you?"

"But, Hokage-sama! Everything I do is for"

Uchiha Itachi couldn't understand and continued to argue.

However, Jiraiya didn't bother to talk nonsense with him at all, and directly opened his mouth and expressed his conclusion:

"My idea, everyone, please take a step back. Konoha is big enough to accommodate two Uchiha."

As Jiraiya spoke, he turned to Sasuke and said:

"Although your master is the Hokage, you don't have the overbearing privilege to prevent anyone from appearing in the village."

Sasuke was quite unconvinced and was waiting for a rebuttal. Jiraiya quickly turned his eyes away from Sasuke and continued to turn around and said:

"But! We must understand and pay attention to Sasuke's mood! If, Uchiha Itachi, you really want to stay in the village, you must follow the following three points:

“First, you are not allowed to appear in front of Sasuke;

“Second, don’t interfere in Sasuke’s life;

“Third, and most important, it’s you trying to avoid him, not him avoiding you.

"In short, in terms of results, Sasuke must not feel that you have returned to the village at all.

"You cannot go where he appears. When you hear his voice, you must leave quickly. At the same time, you must also try to avoid any interaction with his mission, his life, and even his friends.

"If you agree, let's talk further. If you don't want to, then please come back."

Jiraiya said simply.

However, when I come back, I just want to be a family with my brother again.

Uchiha Itachi hesitated to speak, but Jiraiya quickly winked at him, reminding him to recognize the situation as soon as possible and plan for the long term.

Uchiha Itachi was not stupid. After taking a few deep breaths, he silently lowered his head.

He swallowed his anger and said:

"I am willing to accept this agreement."

"What do you think?"
