After all, judging from what he said before, Bai Ye is still trustworthy.

...

"Onii-chan, didn't you do any mission today?"

Sasuke had just returned home, and the moment he saw Itachi, a hint of joy flashed across his face.

I originally thought that Itachi was away on a mission and that I wouldn't be able to see him for a long time.

And now that he is at home, it is a good opportunity for him to show Itachi the results of his training.

"I'll be there soon."

Itachi's expressionless face also showed a gentle smile the moment he saw Sasuke.

He was about to go there a long time ago, but was delayed for some time because he was waiting for Sasuke to come back from the Ninja Academy.

"Ah?! Onii-chan is going on a mission again? But last time Onii-chan promised me that she would see the results of my training!"

A hint of anxiety flashed across Sasuke's face.

I finally waited for Itachi to come back, but I didn't expect that Itachi still had a mission to accomplish.

"Sorry Sasuke, maybe next time."

As he said that, Itachi raised his right hand and tapped Sasuke's forehead, then he packed up his ninja tools and prepared to leave.

"Itachi, are you leaving without dinner?"

Inside the house, Mikoto was holding the dishes and looking at Itachi expectantly.

She just made it. The family hasn’t had a meal together for a long time.

"No, mother, I still have tasks to attend to. Sorry."

"Is that so? Then Itachi, be careful!"

Mikoto smiled gently. Even though she felt a little disappointed at being rejected, this gentle woman seemed to understand what her son was carrying.

Itachi must have had a hard time between Konoha and the Uchiha clan.

Mikoto felt sad, as it had not been like this before. There were even signs that the relationship between the Uchiha clan and Konoha was improving.

The result...became like that again.

"Onii-chan, you must guide me in my training next time you come back!"

"Yeah, definitely next time."

Itachi nodded and agreed, but... he himself didn't know when the next time would be.

Chapter 45-Danzo, I am the Hokage!

"So, what kind of mission would be better to take?"

Bai Ye took a rough look at the mission. After all, he was an elite jonin. If he took a more difficult mission, he would probably be laughed to death.

I'm not leading the team.

S grade?

Forget it, let’s get an A-level one first.

Bai Ye thought about it and felt that A-level missions were safer.

I'm just trying to complete the mission, I'm not here to risk my life.

[Investigate the intelligence of the Mist Village. 】

An A-level task appeared in front of Bai Ye. Is this an investigation task?

If I remember correctly, the Mist Village is probably still under the control of Obito.

Experiencing blood mist policy.

This mission only requires investigation and no combat, so it is defined as A.

"It seems like this mission is more suitable for me!"

Bai Ye touched his chin, thought for a while, and decided to accept the task.

Although the Mist Village is very dangerous, it doesn't seem to be very difficult if you just want to get some intelligence.

Anyway, he knew the plot. As long as he knew what kind of incident the Mist Village was in, he didn't even need to understand it in depth to know what was going on.

So this task is relatively simple.

But there is a high probability that White Zetsu is in the Mist Village now. If I go there at this time, I might be exposed, and there is a high chance that I will die.

so....

It's done!

There weren't many other missions suitable for him, but there was one that took him to the Rain Village.

But do I dare to go to Rain Village?

If you go there, you might not even know how you died.

Bai Ye discovered that there were many low-level and mid-level tasks, and quite a few S-level tasks, but there were very few A-level tasks that were above average.

If you don't lead a team, basically most of the jonin will accept A-level, and even some ninjas who lead a team will accept it.

This means that A and B level tasks are the least among all tasks.

"Uchiha?"

The Third Hokage looked at Bai Ye in front of him with some surprise.

He didn't expect that there would be an Uchiha who would choose to carry out the mission at this time.

The relationship between the village and the Uchiha was now very tense.

The Uchiha clan's ninjas basically don't go on missions anymore.

Everyone knows that the Uchiha clan is likely to be forced to rebel.

At this time, an Uchiha ninja suddenly appeared and accepted the mission and left the village.

Instead, it surprised the third generation.

"Uchiha Byakuya? That's fine..."

After the Third Hokage saw the name, he knew why.

It seems that Uchiha Byakuya is not very sociable in the Uchiha clan.

Looks like someone who can be won over.

Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen put on a kind smile and said, "For this mission, you just need to investigate. If you encounter danger, you can give up the mission. The village will not punish you in any way!"

This is a fighting force that can be won over, just like Itachi and Shisui.

So the third generation also took it seriously at this time.

"I see."

"Need any help?"

As Sandai said this, he took the pipe from his mouth and looked at Bai Ye and asked.

"I want to see the Book of Seals!"

“…”

Nima!

I was only asking you if you needed help, but you seemed to be treating me as a fool, asking me to show you the Sealed Book the first thing you said.

Why didn’t you tell me that I would give you the position of Hokage?

After hearing Bai Ye's words, Sandai almost cursed in his heart, but he still kept a polite smile on his face.

"Well...if you complete the mission, I can consider it..."

Although Sandai wanted to refuse, he felt that since he had already said it.

It doesn't seem so good to refuse directly. Wouldn't that make me look embarrassed?

"Okay, I'll come back and see after I finish the task!"

Having said that, Bai Ye picked up the mission scroll and left.

Looking at Bai Ye's back, the third generation was now disheveled in the wind.

no! ?

He seemed to have just said that he could consider it, but how come Bai Ye's words turned it into something that he could definitely watch?

Do you want to listen to what you are saying?

"Sarutobi, I've already told you that the Uchiha clan has evil ambitions. This guy actually wants to read the Book of Seals. I think we should act sooner rather than later!"

After Bai Ye left, Danzo slowly walked out of the darkness, glanced at the Uchiha clan and said coldly.

He heard the entire conversation between the two just now.

In his opinion, this Uchiha actually dared to make this request, it might be that someone in the Uchiha clan asked him to make this request.

That’s right!

Exactly the same as I thought!

The Uchiha clan is a scourge!

"Danzo, I told you not to put any more pressure on the Uchiha clan while there is still room for maneuver!"

The Third Hokage was not as extreme towards the Uchiha clan as Danzo.

He also wanted to divide the Uchiha clan, but he didn't want to destroy the Uchiha clan directly.

After all, this is a super strong fighting force.

Once the Uchiha clan is destroyed, it is conceivable that Konoha will fall into weakness.

No one knows what's going on in the Mist Village. Since the country was closed to the outside world, few people know about the situation in the Mist Village.

It’s not like there weren’t ninjas who went to investigate before, but most of them died there, and those who came back alive didn’t bring back much intelligence.

The three ninja villages, Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Sandgakure, are eyeing Konoha covetously.

Once Konoha falls into weakness.

The other party is very likely to choose to take action, so if you think about it this way, it would be in the best interest of the Third Generation if the Uchiha clan were divided rather than exterminated.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen probably also knew about the Uchiha clan's recent attitude and Danzo's secret moves.

But he is old now, and it is impossible for him to control Konoha like before.

If he wants to control Konoha, he must rely on Danzo, which is why he tolerates Danzo.

The roots are too big to be removed!

But when it comes to some bottom line issues, Sarutobi Hiruzen will not let Danzo do it.

At least when it comes to genocide, I won't do it unless I think it through clearly.

"Is it necessary? In my opinion, the Uchiha clan is the cancer of Konoha. It would be better to let my roots take action. Then you just need to cooperate a little!"

Danzo still kept on admonishing without giving up, he really wanted to take action.

On the one hand, he wanted to complete the second generation's plan against Uchiha, and he thought it was the right thing to do.

On the one hand, it is because he needs the Sharingan. Ever since he discovered the secret technique of the Uchiha clan, he has become more and more determined to destroy the Uchiha clan.

"Danzo I am the Hokage!!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen slapped the table, stood up and stared at Danzo.

"Sarutobi you will regret this!"

Danzo looked at Sarutobi deeply, with a gloomy look in his eyes, then turned and left.
