Just when someone was resuming his old career in the Akatsuki organization.
Konoha, in the Hokage's office, was a different scene.
Kakashi, who had returned to Konoha, was reporting the situation.
The atmosphere, was one of depression.
"Unknown upper limit of strength, can simultaneously manipulate a large number of explosive tags, possibly a Kekkei Genkai, and the ANBU doesn't have any records of this person."
"And Qing Qingchuan, didn't seem to know that woman, didn't take action, and even used medical ninjutsu on Yamato."
"For the time being… it's impossible to give Uchiha Qingchuan a concrete definition."
Kakashi's report was relatively objective.
He described Konan's appearance, clothing, and approximate strength.
And for Qingchuan, it was a vague response.
She didn't take action, and even rescued Yamato.
Although it couldn't change the fact that Uchiha Qingchuan had become a missing-nin.
But… he also tried to leave room for maneuver as much as possible.
Kakashi, was trying his best.
_Group@Eight>Ⅱ[②}⑥%⑨|Eight}Cover!Yao-Slip!"In other words."
"That woman stopped you, but Qingchuan still left with her?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was still sucking on his pipe, and said slowly.
It seemed that he had foreseen this outcome long ago.
But just from his expression, he couldn't see any emotion.
"Yes… that is indeed the case."
Kakashi nodded.
His emotions were also somewhat low.
In any case…
The fact, was just like that.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent for a while.
After a long time.
"I understand, thanks for your hard work, Kakashi."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said.
"Don't let the news leak out for now… the ANBU will take over this matter as soon as possible."
"Yes!"
He responded with a yes.
Kakashi hesitated for a while, and finally, chose to leave.
That was all he could do.
Things had come too suddenly.
She had killed a group of Root members, and even killed Konoha's high-ranking Elder…
Kakashi now, felt a bit unbelievable.
But things, had indeed happened.
Although he wasn't at the scene, couldn't personally organize things, and couldn't bring Qingchuan back.
But what he could do at the moment, was just this.
He couldn't prevent, or interfere with the judgment of the missing-nin.
He could only look at the decisions of Konoha's higher-ups…
And after Kakashi left.
In the Hokage's office, Itachi's figure, appeared again.
Sarutobi Hiruzen wasn't surprised.
He was still sucking on his pipe, and seemed to be waiting for this young Uchiha to arrive.
"Is there something the matter, Itachi."
He asked knowingly.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was waiting for this Uchiha youth's further words.
Itachi raised his head.
Silently took off his mask, and looked directly at the old man in front of him.
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
Itachi said slowly, and then, knelt heavily on the ground!
"Please Hokage-sama… temporarily conceal the news of Qingchuan leaving Konoha!"
"This will be a huge blow to the Uchiha, and to Konoha."
Itachi's voice, was extremely firm!
He had already made a decision.
Just, on the way back.
Shisui-san's death, and Qingchuan's departure.
Were all manifestations of the increasingly fierce conflict between the Uchiha and Konoha.
At the same time. It was also a signal for the internal war between the Uchiha and Konoha.
Qingchuan.
Was probably precisely because she didn't want to see this situation, that she chose to leave.
She killed Elder Danzo, bore all the sins on herself, became a missing-nin, and silently endured all of this…
This was the only explanation.
It was a similar approach to Shisui-san, but it was more in line with Qingchuan's personality.
Quiet, and decisive…
However.
Qingchuan, who hadn't returned to the Uchiha for too long, also seemed to have underestimated the Uchiha's dissatisfaction with Konoha.
Even if Qingchuan bore all the blame.
The Uchiha and Konoha, wouldn't just stop here ah.
The Uchiha, did have the determination to launch a coup.
Itachi continued speaking, and his voice, also took on a bit of coldness.
"I will deal with this as soon as possible, Hokage-sama."
"Please give me some time!"
"I beg you!"
Listening to this request with a cold voice.
Sarutobi Hiruzen fell silent.
He could hear it.
Itachi, had already made his resolution.
Besides killing, there was no better way to solve the current situation of the village and the Uchiha.
However.
If he could use a small amount of killing to prevent war, it might not be a solution.
Even if this method was somewhat helpless.
But that girl.
Hadn't she also seen this, and made this helpless move?
Even Jiraiya had been optimistic about that girl ah.
She had been forced out of Konoha.
"Go ahead and do it, Itachi."
Sarutobi Hiruzen put down his pipe, and also gave his response.
"This old man will be here, and will try his best to suppress the voices of others."
"This old man… is waiting for your news."
At the same time.
In that courtyard full of cherry blossoms.
The blonde boy stumbled to open the door to the room.
That familiar figure, had already disappeared…
But the boy didn't have much sadness on his face!
Perhaps the tears had already dried up, or perhaps he didn't want to continue being decadent.
The boy walked to the place where that figure often stayed.
Following the information that had suddenly appeared in his mind, he silently cultivated.
There were no flashy ninjutsu, and there were no sharp taijutsu moves.
The boy stood in a horse stance, under this cherry blossom tree, and swung his fist again and again at the air.
"Kid, your teacher has left, she was harmed by those people."
"Don't you want… to avenge your teacher."
Inside the seal space.
Across that huge cage, Kurama supported its huge head, and asked with interest.
Just now, this bound kid, had provided him with a lot of negative emotions.
And now… this kid seemed to have regained his calm.
But the darkness in his heart, also seemed to be getting more and more intense ah.
Kurama, also gradually took this boy seriously.
"Stop talking nonsense, big guy."
To Kurama's mockery, Naruto only gave a cold laugh.
He knew what he wanted.
Hadn't his teacher already told him before she left?
He couldn't!
Let anyone!
Bully him.
It was easy to understand, but seemed difficult to do.
Without Teacher Qingchuan, he didn't have much confidence.
Because even Teacher Qingchuan, had been forced to leave him.
But fortunately.
There was still a big guy in his body!
Those who wanted to bully him, seemed to be afraid of this big guy?
"Just wait, I'll get your power sooner or later."
"Just wait and accompany me, in a big scene!"
