"Oh locust, oh locust.

"you really are."

After a pause, Jiraiya waved his hand, not wanting to say anything more.

On the opposite side, Uchiha Itachi just knelt there silently, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a few breaths, Jiraiya finally turned around and asked:

"Do you remember what the first long-term task I gave you was?"

On the opposite side, Uchiha Itachi's heart moved.

He buried his head deeply in the ground again and answered:

"of course I remember.

"Yes, secretly protecting Uchiha Sasuke.

"But at the same time, you must still strictly abide by the 'three rules' we agreed to before, and never let Sasuke be aware of my existence."

That was when Uchiha Sasuke left Konoha and went undercover for Orochimaru after Hyuga Neji "defected".

Since then, every choice Sasuke made along the way made Uchiha Itachi, who was hiding in the dark and watching secretly, feel heartbroken.

However, the strength displayed in the end and the results achieved were unbelievable to Itachi.

“These days, I feel really bad.

"I'm afraid my body can't hold out for much longer."

Across from him, the Fifth Hokage, Jiraiya said in a deep voice.

On the side, Uchiha Itachi was shocked under the mask. He quickly raised his head and said:

“Hokage-sama, you are in your prime, and you must be simply exhausted.

"Please take care of yourself."

"Stop talking this nonsense."

Jiraiya waved his hand impatiently, interrupting Uchiha Itachi's words.

Then, he said again in a deep voice:

“Anyway, if I die, Uchiha Sasuke will be the Sixth Hokage.

"During this process, if anyone wants to make things difficult for him, I want you to protect Uchiha Sasuke at all costs, no matter how much you risk your life."

"Yes."

Uchiha Itachi nodded his head.

There was a surge of emotions in my heart.

I have to say that although Jiraiya didn't say much, he did contain two pieces of information: "feeling unwell" and "Sasuke was appointed as the sixth Hokage."

The shock brought to Uchiha Itachi was really too great.

Although, he also had a premonition in his heart that Uchiha Sasuke would most likely become the first ninja in the Uchiha clan to ascend to the throne of Hokage.

But the speed at which things developed has far exceeded his expectations.

"Let's go."

On the other side, Jiraiya turned around again and spoke silently.

"Yes"

Uchiha Itachi slowly stood up, feeling dizzy.

He calmed himself down and was about to leave.

Behind him, Jiraiya called out to him once again.

"Wait a minute."

Uchiha Itachi turned around.

In front of him, Jiraiya no longer had the majestic look he had before.

The Hokage looked grim, as if he was making a difficult decision.

After a moment, Uchiha Itachi only heard the man in front of him grit his teeth and say:

"if.

"Uchiha Sasuke's life is in danger.

"Then, you don't have to be afraid of those previous rules anymore.

"No matter what, I want him to survive."

Hearing this, Uchiha Itachi trembled all over, as if he had been electrocuted.

Chapter 337 Reflection in the Crystal Ball

At this time, Uchiha Itachi stared at Jiraiya in front of him, his thoughts constantly fluctuating.

Before, due to the constraints of the three rules, I never found the opportunity to take action from beginning to end.

To some extent, according to Jiraiya's previous instructions.

All he could do was to rescue Uchiha Sasuke after he fell into a coma, and leave before he woke up.

However, Sasuke had not even given him such an opportunity before.

But now, if the constraints of the "Three Rules" are lifted, the so-called "life crisis" will depend entirely on one's own subjective judgment.

This also means that

The chance for me to return to Sasuke has finally come.

Under the mask, a strange smile finally appeared on Uchiha Itachi's pale face.

On the other hand, Jiraiya also knew very well that if Uchiha Sasuke knew about this.

It will inevitably cause great resentment from the other party.

To a certain extent, Jiraiya's action was a reflection of his firm determination to act "even if it might sever the relationship between master and disciple."

You know, according to the current plan, Uchiha Sasuke has to face not only the unfathomable Shimura Danzo.

And behind it, there is the entire “root organization” that has been accumulating strength for many years.

Jiraiya at this moment was just like Uchiha Sasuke three days later, who would rather go back on his word and entrust himself to Nara Shikamaru.

Different time, different place.

The master and the disciple made the same choice when it came to "saving each other's lives".

"Thanks

"Thank you, Hokage-sama."

In front of Jiraiya, Uchiha Itachi trembled and bowed once again.

At this time, Itachi's eyes were already filled with tears beneath his mask, and he only hated Jiraiya for not dying immediately.

Then he stood up and tried to calm himself down.

Under Jiraiya's gaze, it slowly disappeared into the mist.

Of course, Jiraiya didn't let Uchiha Itachi wait too long.

"Are you ready?"

October 11th, the sixty-fifth year of Konoha.

night.

In the study room of the Hokage's house.

The cunning monkey Jue asked, holding the secret medicine for ghost sleep.

Tonight, the second round of the Chunin Exams officially ended.

All the ninjas of the same class, including Uzumaki Naruto, successfully entered the final round.

In response to this, Jiraiya paid out of his own pocket and let Naruto take a group of young ninjas to the barbecue restaurant for a meal and celebration.

At this time, in the huge Hokage residence, apart from the guards outside the gate, there was only the three-person group that planned the famous "fake death plan".

Opposite Monkey Orange, Jiraiya was still organizing the documents on his desk.

He was seen carefully placing the documents, trying to create the illusion that he was trying his best to die.

"Almost done, come on."

Hearing Hou Jie's question, Jiraiya finally stopped what he was doing, reached out to take the secret medicine from the other's hand, and slowly opened the cork.

"Master."

On the other side, Uchiha Sasuke still looked conflicted.

He just opened his mouth and asked:

"Are you sure you don't need to tell the truth to Lady Tsunade?"

Here, Jiraiya held the secret medicine in his hand, shook his head slowly, and said:

"She was a key part of the plan, what a pity"

Jiraiya sighed, Tsunade's beautiful face appearing in his mind again.

I saw a doting smile on his face, and he said with a smile:

"That woman, I'm afraid, is not good at acting."

Then, Jiraiya took another deep breath, looked directly into Uchiha Sasuke's eyes, and said seriously:

"bring it on!"

"it is good"
