The third generation Hokage sent Danzo to jail at the beginning

Sarutobi Hiruzen was still a little confused about the report and asked, "That last fight was a bit too much for you, wasn't it? Even with Marco's flames, using the Mangekyō in unlimited fire mode still took its toll on your body."

The third generation thought about it. This time, Whitebeard's side had two more powerful fighters, Rayleigh and Uchiha Itachi, than last time. Ace, who was being executed, was also cheating. Garp softened his heart earlier in the prison because of Ace's repeated calls of "Grandpa". The morale of the navy was extremely low this time.

How could Itachi, a mercenary, fight so hard for the Whitebeard Pirates? The one who had a relationship with Ace was Sarutobi Hiruzen, not Uchiha Itachi.

"Given the situation at that time, even if you had fought with more restraint, the Whitebeard Group should have been able to rescue Ace."

Indeed, although Marco's flames could alleviate the pain well, the sequelae still existed, and his eyesight declined again after that incident.

The reason is probably... I've spent too much time with that group of free-spirited family members, and the wine there is also very good.

Some were assimilated and, seeing a chance to end the war sooner, they couldn't help but do their best.

"It was an impulse."

After saying this, Uchiha Itachi changed the subject and said, "Hokage-sama, the commission and treasures have all been delivered to the employer."

Then, Uchiha Itachi took out two sealing scrolls and placed them on the Hokage's desk.

seal.

One of them ejected a devil fruit.

"This is an ancient devil fruit that the other party gave to Konoha."

Sarutobi's eyes fell on the devil fruit lying quietly on the desk. Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had already known the truth from Ace, felt complicated.

This one is clearly a personal gift from the Whitebeard Pirates to Uchiha Itachi!

Uchiha Itachi is such a loyal minister that he doesn't even take food with him when he goes on business trips after receiving kickbacks.

With such brave generals and wise ministers, Konoha will surely prosper.

"This is a personal gift from Whitebeard and the others to you."

Uchiha Itachi was silent for a moment - it seemed that the Third Hokage had very frequent contact with Ace in another world.

Sarutobi Hiruzen lit his pipe, took a puff, and said, "You can keep this devil fruit for yourself. The Whitebeard Group promised a reward of either a natural or mythical beast fruit for Konoha."

Uchiha Itachi nodded slightly. The effects of devil fruits like Akainu or Marco are indeed more exaggerated.

Sarutobi Hiruzen continued, "Itachi, you've made a great contribution by coming back this time. The Whitebeard Group over there is now fully organized and will be a powerful foreign aid for Konoha. You really have the qualities of a Hokage!"

Uchiha Itachi modestly said that he didn't dare to have such an idea.

Sarutobi Hiruzen smoked his pipe and gave Konoha's loyal minister a satisfied smile: "Stay here this time. Report to Tsunade tomorrow and take care of your body."

Uchiha Itachi nodded in agreement.

"As for your arrangements, your contribution this time is too great. Being an ordinary jonin will definitely not do."

Indeed, as mentioned before, the Whitebeard Group is more of a warlord controlling a vast territory than a pirate group. Now that they have established a very friendly relationship, leaving aside military support, the financial assistance they can provide to Konoha is enormous.

Uchiha Itachi was the great hero this time.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up, walked to the window, and paced back and forth in thought.

Konoha's system has changed now, and the next Hokage is likely to be none other than the Five Tiger Generals, Crouching Dragon, and Phoenix. So...

How can a phoenix chick perish? Let Uchiha Itachi be the phoenix chick!

"How about this, when the time is right, I, the Hokage, will crown you the Phoenix Hatchling of Konoha! Your authority will be equal to that of the Crouching Dragon Nara Shikaku."

What is that?

Uchiha Itachi looked confused.

After a business trip, I came back and found that everything had changed. Konoha now feels so unfamiliar to me.

The Hokage patiently explained with a hint of pride, "Ever since you went on a mission to the pirate world, Konoha has created the Five Tiger Generals of Konoha and the position of Crouching Dragon of Konoha! These are the future Hokage heirs I'm optimistic about."

Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly turned around, pointed his pipe at Itachi's chest, and said, "And you, Uchiha Itachi! You will be the new one among them!"

"I'm optimistic about you."

"Well, before that, you can become a team leader or teach at a ninjutsu academy. These are both good options."

Uchiha Itachi looked hesitant and was about to refuse.

Sarutobi Hiruzen instantly understood his concerns, and he was still unable to face Sasuke as anything other than his enemy.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a long drag on his cigarette, exhaled a puff of smoke, tapped his pipe on the desk, and said, "Then why don't you stay in the Anbu for now? Let's use the code name 'Hōchū' for now!"

The Anbu always hide their identities and wear masks on their faces, which is indeed suitable for me now.

Uchiha Itachi then nodded in agreement.

The Third Hokage said, "A lot of important things happened in the ninja world during your absence. Remember to go to the secretary's office and get some information to get a general idea of ​​it."

At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Itachi's Akatsuki uniform and said, "Also, Itachi, you should go get a few more Konoha Jonin uniforms tomorrow. It's not appropriate to wear this one all the time."

Although Nagato and the others' uniform designs are indeed quite good.

Before leaving the office, Uchiha Itachi made a request: "Hokage-sama, could you please give this devil fruit to Sasuke on my behalf?"

……

With the handling of the Uchiha Itachi incident completed, Lord Hokage officially retired.

Enter the subspace and open the game.

Number One: The Third Generation of the Impure World Reincarnation, Number Two: The First Generation of the Impure World Reincarnation, Number Three: The White Mask

Begin to spread the Will of Fire.

Although new players started to join the new server in Konoha Village, Hokage found that they were too immature and could not even understand the meaning of a pat on the head. They were not worth fighting for.

I hope these new seedlings of Konoha grow up quickly.

"I have no identity, and I don't want to live as anyone else."

After the ultimate picture, the opponent will be patted on the head, which is the will of fire.

Beep, beep, the small group started ringing again.

Sarutobi Hiruzen paused the promotion of Will of Fire and opened it to see that it was Ace @ him.

"Third generation, third generation, I have a good idea. I will send Whitebeard to Konoha! You ask Tsunade to treat him."

It’s nothing, we’re just buddies, it’s a small matter.

Sarutobi Hiruzen replied, "Sure."

Ace: "Thank you so much."

Chapter 71 Date

It's a rest day.

A new kunai and latte coffee shop opened in Konoha Commercial Street.

There weren't many guests indoors.

At a table by the window, a blushing boy and a blushing girl sat face to face.

Everyone on the table ordered a latte.

It was Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura, and there was a subtle silence between the two.

This is by no means a ninja story that has entered the stage of a youth romantic comedy, but...

Flying Thunder God really requires some academic knowledge. No wonder Naruto hasn't learned anything after studying it for so long. It seems like he is about to give up.

Sasuke went to Orochimaru for advice, but even after asking several questions, Orochimaru still didn't understand him after answering them.

After this, Orochimaru once said in an extremely disappointed tone, "Sasuke-kun, your cultural foundation is too poor. You should start from the beginning. I still have research work to do. I'm leaving now."

If you ask any more questions, Orochimaru won't bother to answer them.

Sasuke never thought that he, the top student, would end up in this situation. After thinking about it, the only one who could help him was Sakura. Although she was not good at anything and was the weakest in the three-person team, she was really good at studying. Even the teachers in the school were not as good as her.

When asking for help from someone, one naturally has to have a certain attitude. Sasuke invited Sakura here and prepared a gift for her apprenticeship.

But...how should I ask...and Sakura has to study medical ninjutsu with Tsunade-sama after school recently. She's very busy and may not have time to help me...

Sasuke, who was naturally strong-willed, thought about it.

In the coffee shop, perhaps because the environment was too quiet, the barista at the bar turned on the speakers and music suddenly started playing.

"The promise made by Dandelion~ so clear~ the past I can't finish talking to you~"

Sakura lowered her head, her face flushed, this was the shyness of a girl.

After school yesterday, Sasuke asked me to meet him at this newly opened coffee shop. I was stunned for a moment, but I quickly realized what was going on and agreed.

After that, she immediately said goodbye to Teacher Tsunade and asked for leave. Teacher Tsunade patted her on the shoulder and encouraged her, saying "Sakura, do your best."

I just feel that God will not let down those who work hard. I have been in love for many years, and today I am afraid that it will come true!

Who is the gift behind Sasuke for? It must be me.

Well wild boar, well wild boar, just eat ashes, hahaha!

Ninjutsu High School is awesome! Campus youth love comedy is awesome!

Sakura's inner personality is partying.

Outside the window, people come and go.

Amid the music, neither the boy nor the girl spoke a word.

Until the music comes.

"I can no longer tell whether you are friendship or lost love."

Sasuke finally mustered up the courage, took out the gift box from behind him, and opened his mouth slightly: "Sakura... I..."

"I do!"

Sakura yelled at the top of her lungs. Her face flushed crimson, even the tips of her ears turned pink.

Inside the coffee shop, the few customers all looked over.

Sasuke showed a surprised expression: "Then please help me with my studies!"

He gently pushed the gift box over.

"This is a thank you gift."

Sakura froze for a moment, and sat down again with a creaking sound like a robot.

"Hmm." Sasuke showed a rare look of confusion. "The advanced mathematics required to calculate the coordinates of Flying Thunder God is completely incomprehensible to me. Orochimaru said my cultural foundation is too poor."

This... is what's going on.

Sakura felt a little embarrassed, rubbed her head and said, "Ha, haha, no problem!"

Sakura wanted to say something more, but quickly lost her temper.

She opened the gift box, revealing a set of ninjutsu scrolls with the Uchiha family crest on them.

Sasuke pulled out a notebook filled with red pen revisions. "This is the study material the Yondaime left behind when he was a teenager. I have no idea why he deduced it this way."

Sakura looked at the proud genius ninja in front of her, who was now grimacing over a math problem, and suddenly found it a little funny. She took a deep breath and picked up the pen:

"Let's start with the basics."

Her voice regained its former vitality: "But there is a condition -"

Sasuke looked up in confusion.

Sakura's face flushed slightly again, and her eyes drifted to the side: "Can you treat me to a movie next weekend?"

"No problem, I can even hire you for a month straight."

Sasuke agreed immediately. A movie ticket only costs a few dollars. Is Sakura so financially strapped?

Suddenly, a muffled thud echoed from outside the window. Naruto slid down from the telephone pole, frantically clinging to the window sill and yelling, "Damn it! That bastard Sasuke is actually dating Sakura!"

"I disagree!"

Naruto's big face suddenly printed on the glass scared Sasuke and Sakura.

"Naruto, what are you doing!" You're ruining my good deeds.

"What's the point of dating someone who's the last one standing? We're in tutoring." Don't delay me from becoming stronger.
