Naruto Paradise

Hokage's office.

"You actually brought back the body of that demon Zabuza?"

Looking at Team 7, Uchiha Kage, Uzuki Yugao and others returning to the village, as well as the two corpses taken out of the space scroll, a hint of surprise flashed through Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart.

He didn't expect that even though he had suspended the mission, Kakashi and others still completed the mission of spying on the Hidden Mist Village.

It seems that now I can assign other tasks to Itachi...

Sarutobi Hiruzen's original intention was to let the injured Kakashi return to the village, and then let Uchiha Itachi lead the team to the Hidden Mist Village.

"You have made great contributions again. The village will always remember your contributions."

He had money and information all at once, and also brought back two ninja swords from the Hidden Mist Village.

Now, whether it is to be hostile or friendly with the Hidden Mist Village in the future, the initiative is in Konoha's hands.

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but smile slightly.

Uchiha Kage is really a lucky boy.

but……

Thinking of Uchiha Itachi's suspicion, Sarutobi Hiruzen was still a little more cautious.

"Shadow stays for a moment."

After continuing to exchange pleasantries for a while, Sarutobi Hiruzen sent Kakashi and others away, and then left the Uchiha Kage alone.

"What's the matter? Hokage-sama?"

The Uchiha Kage, who had been mentally prepared, was not surprised at all when Sarutobi Hiruzen left him alone to question him.

"Given your exceptional performance on this mission, I have decided to end your probation period early. You are now an official ANBU member."

Without interrogating the Uchiha Kage at the beginning, Sarutobi Hiruzen first affirmed his contribution and gave him the order for promotion.

"Not only that, I also intend to appoint you as the captain of the ANBU."

"Team leader? Me?"

The Uchiha Kage quickly put on an expression of being flattered.

"But I'm still just a Genin..."

"It's okay. Uchiha Itachi was also promoted to ANBU captain at your age."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was very satisfied with Uchiha Kage's reaction, and he naturally turned the topic to Uchiha Itachi.

"Uchiha... Itachi? The traitor!?"

The Uchiha Kage tried hard to look like he was gritting his teeth.

"Well, you should have fought with him, right?"

"That's right, it's a pity that he escaped!"

“He’s very strong.”

"Humph, he's a little bit powerful, but nothing special. Next time I will definitely kill him!"

"Calm down, Kage. Uchiha Itachi is a ninja with the Mangekyō Sharingan. Ordinary ninjutsu and illusions will not work on him."

"Is the Mangekyō Sharingan really that powerful? But I..."

"What? Is something wrong?"

"Yeah, his Sharingan doesn't seem to work on me, I don't know why."

"Is there such a thing? Ying, tell me in detail what happened that day..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen patiently persuaded the child, and the Uchiha Kage also cooperated with his performance.

Except for concealing the matter of the Byakugan and Hollowification, the Uchiha Kage told almost all the details of the battle with Uchiha Itachi that day.

"I see. That's very strange..."

This child was indeed just as Iruka said, well-behaved and obedient, not hiding anything.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was very satisfied with the performance of Uchiha Kage. What the other party said was almost the same as what Uchiha Itachi said.

"However, your Uchiha clan is a magical clan. Perhaps you have the ability to be immune to the Mangekyō Sharingan's pupil technique."

After discovering that what Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Kage said could confirm each other, Sarutobi Hiruzen became more and more convinced that Uchiha Kage possessed a special physique.

However, this child, Xihihong, actually concealed the truth.

Did she think that I, the Hokage, would harm an Uchiha boy?

Really, not all Uchiha geniuses are dead. It’s a good thing Itachi is still alive... Isn’t he still alive?

"Really? So I'm a genius..."

It turns out that Sarutobi Hiruzen mistakenly thought he had a special physique.

This saves me the trouble of explaining.

The Uchiha Kage also breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's just my guess. By the way, who taught you the Rasengan? It's an A-rank advanced ninjutsu, and it's very difficult for ordinary people to learn it."

Although his suspicions had been almost dispelled, Sarutobi Hiruzen still asked one last question.

"It's a ninjutsu I found in my clan's collection. It took me a long time to learn it by myself."

Not long after Uchiha Kage was born, he "created" the ninjutsu Rasengan.

At that time, Minato Namikaze was not born yet.

So, logically speaking, there should be nothing wrong with this jutsu appearing in the Uchiha clan's collection.

"So the Uchiha clan also possesses this ninjutsu..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen simply thought that an Uchiha had copied this ninjutsu and made it into a scroll and kept it, and didn't think much about it.

"come in."

After no longer having any doubts about the Uchiha Kage, Sarutobi Hiruzen clapped his hands and called in two ninjas dressed as Anbu who had been waiting outside the door.

"Ita, Sai, this boy will be the captain of your team from now on. Let's get to know each other."

Following Sarutobi Hiruzen's introduction, the Uchiha Kage also looked up at the two people who walked in.

Then his expression suddenly became interesting.

Good man... Forget about Sai, it’s not difficult to guess that Danzo would plant someone in the Anbu.

Although this 'Ita' was wearing a mask and had his face bandaged, with the help of his Byakugan, the Uchiha Kage was able to recognize the other's chakra at a glance.

No, man? Uchiha Itachi actually returned to Konoha so openly? And as an Anbu ninja?

The Uchiha Kage was extremely surprised and carefully glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen beside him.

What exactly is going on?

Did Uchiha Itachi sneak in disguised himself, or did he get the approval of Sarutobi Hiruzen?

"What's wrong, squad leader?"

Sai on the side was also looking at the Uchiha boy. Danzo had given him many tasks, including this boy.

"Nothing, please give me more advice in the future."

Uchiha Kage gave a faint smile to Sai who was giving him a fake smile, and greeted the two of them as if he knew nothing.

Never mind, just deal with it.

Moreover, the enemy is in the open and we are in the dark. Uchiha Kage wants to see what Uchiha Itachi is trying to do.

"Ita's face was burned and he's very introverted. His nod means he approves of you. Remember to get along well with him in the future."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's words were directed at both Uchiha Kage and Uchiha Itachi, telling them not to target each other anymore.

"Yes!"

Burned face, introverted and silent?

It seems that it's very likely that Itachi Uchiha came back with the approval of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Could it be... because of the 'Future Notes' that Sarutobi Hiruzen gave him before, that he called Uchiha Itachi back to the village.

The purpose is to deal with Orochimaru?

"Hey! The teacher is talking to you, why are you so distracted?"

Kurenai Yuhi, who was waiting outside the Hokage Building with Hinata Shino, patted Uchiha Kage's head hard and looked at her disciple with a smile on her face.

"Teacher? And Hinata? How are you..."

Having just met two Anbu teammates who were as talented as Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick, Uchiha Kage was indeed a little upset.

Now, when he looked up and saw Kurenai Yuhi and Hinata waiting for him, his chaotic mood suddenly became brighter.

Konoha is truly a village that makes people love and hate it.

Uchiha Kage dodged Kurenai's attempt to pat his head and gave a natural smile to Hinata and Shino behind her.

"Hey, don't ignore me again!"

Shino felt that this guy must have deliberately ignored his name.

"Of course it's to celebrate after completing the mission. Otherwise, why do you think we would wait for you?"

Seeing that touching the head failed, Xi Ri Hong set her sights on the boy's handsome face.

I want you to use your tongue to push me in my dreams every day, and I want it too...

Pinch yours.

"The teacher said we should go eat barbecue together..."

Hinata was both shy and happy to see the Uchiha movie queen whom she hadn't seen for several days.

Although she could "imagine" Uchiha Kage putting her in various embarrassing positions every night, fantasy was just fantasy after all, and the real person in reality made her feel more at ease.

"Barbecue? It's good."

The Uchiha Kage subconsciously looked at Hinata's bulging chest.

I thought that after not seeing him for a while, he had grown a little bigger.

"By the way, you shouldn't have told anyone about that incident before, right?"

Although he knew that Hinata would not do anything bad to him, Uchiha Kage still wanted to tease this girl who blushed shyly when she saw him.

By the way, even though your white eyes can’t see clearly, they might be able to see my outline.

Could it be that Hinata is really spying on me every time?

"Of course not! I will never tell anyone about Shadow-classmate!"

Hinata knew that Uchiha Kage was talking about what happened that day when he fought Uchiha Itachi.

At that time, she was the only one who noticed that a part of Uchiha Kage's body had mysteriously disappeared.

"Don't bully Hinata!"

Seeing that Uchiha Kage had forced Hinata into a corner as soon as he arrived, Kurenai Yuhi grabbed the back of the other's collar with some anger.

Although she was happy to see these two people together, for some reason, she felt a little unhappy today.
