Konoha: The Gu Master Creates the Hokage.

Chapter 145 The Information Brought by Itachi Uchiha (First and Second Updates)

"Does anyone want this psychic scroll featuring the Shuzaki giant lizard?"

Jiraiya asked casually.

"Can it compare to Zhihui's slug?"

Naruto Uzumaki quickly asked.

"Of course it can't compare, but its strength is still decent, making it a pretty good summoning beast."

Jiraiya twitched the corner of his mouth.

The slug is one of the three great immortals.

In the entire ninja world, only the White Snake Sage and the Great Toad Sage can compare.

Jiraiya had already tested it before.

The giant lizard from Shuzaki doesn't have many abilities.

First, it's a disguise, like a chameleon; in the original work, even Hinata Hyuga's Byakugan couldn't see through it.

Secondly, their enormous size makes them quite intimidating to ordinary ninjas.

Jiraiya thought it resembled the giant toad from Mount Myōboku.

"Then I don't want it!"

Naruto Uzumaki waved his hand and said.

Jiraiya suddenly had a thought.

Perhaps Naruto Uzumaki should become a contractor of Mount Myōboku.

"I have slugs."

Aburame Shiki shook his head and said, "Give it to Sasuke."

Uchiha Sasuke was slightly taken aback.

Thinking about it carefully, he does indeed lack a summoning beast.

He doesn't expect the Shuzaki giant lizard to be particularly powerful, as long as it can be used as a meat shield in crucial moments.

"Thanks."

Uchiha Sasuke took the scroll and wrote his name on it.

Aburame Shiki took the opportunity to glance over and, sure enough, saw Kishimoto Masashi.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Uncle Jiraiya, do you know Masashi Kishimoto?"

"I don't recognize them. They must be ninjas from Shusaki Province."

Jiraiya countered, "Are you interested in him?"

"I just asked casually."

Yu Nu Zhihui shook his head and said.

"Alright, mission accomplished. Let's return to Konoha now."

Jiraiya didn't think much of it and said.

"what?"

Naruto Uzumaki looked completely bewildered. "But I didn't do anything."

"Your task is to learn the Rasengan."

Jiraiya glanced at him and said, "Look at Shiki, he mastered it in just two days."

"I'm sure I can learn it tomorrow!"

Naruto Uzumaki said confidently.

Uchiha Sasuke gritted his teeth upon hearing this.

He originally thought he would learn it first, or that he and Yu Nu Zhihui would learn it at the same time.

The result was that the gap between the two was enormous.

According to Jiraiya's estimate, it would take him a week.

Can he really defeat Shiki Aburame in the Chunin Exams two months from now?

I need to find a way to become stronger.

A day later, the four returned to Konoha Village.

"So many people!"

Naruto Uzumaki said excitedly.

"There are a lot more outsiders now."

Aburame Shiki glanced at the bustling street and said, "It must be because of the Chunin Exams."

"Those who come now are all merchants."

Jiraiya said with a smile, "You can go and have some fun, and see the products that are different from those in Konoha Village."

"Zhihui, want to come along?"

Naruto Uzumaki asked, eager to try.

"I won't go."

Yu Nuzhihui shook her head and said, "I have to go see my teacher."

"Sasuke, what about you?"

Naruto then looked at Sasuke Uchiha.

"No time."

Sasuke Uchiha said expressionlessly, "I want to train in the Rasengan."

"hateful!"

Naruto withdrew his reluctant gaze and said, "I'm not going! I need to train too!"

"Wow, so energetic!"

A hint of nostalgia appeared on Jiraiya's face.

Uchiha Sasuke looks like Orochimaru.

Naruto Uzumaki resembles him.

In his youth, he also tried every means to catch up with Orochimaru.

Only Shiki Aburame is unlike Tsunade.

His personality became more composed.

Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki left together.

Aburame Shiki followed Jiraiya to the Hokage's office.

"So fast?"

Tsunade frowned and asked, "Jiraiya, are you sure they can learn the Rasengan?"

It's only been two days, which seems like a very short time.

Although the Rasengan is a ninjutsu without hand seals, its learning difficulty is A-rank.

She estimated it would take two weeks.

"You don't know your students well enough."

Jiraiya pointed at Shiki Aburame and said, "He has already learned it."

Tsunade paused slightly, a look of surprise on her face.

Although she knew that Shiki Aburame had strong chakra control, had it really reached this level?

Once he learns the Yin Seal, he'll be able to easily surpass her.

"How are Naruto and Sasuke doing?"

Tsunade snapped out of her daze and asked.

"They haven't learned it yet."

Jiraiya smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've already taught you what I needed to teach you. It's just a matter of time before you learn it."

"Are you leaving again?"

Tsunade understood the hidden meaning in his words.

"I must continue my mission."

Jiraiya said calmly.

"..."

Tsunade waved her hand, too lazy to talk to him.

Jiraiya leaped onto the windowsill and vanished in the blink of an eye.

"That guy!"

Tsunade couldn't help but snort coldly, her tone filled with dissatisfaction.

"Teacher, don't be angry."

Oil Girl Zhihui reached out, grasped her wrist, and handed her a bottle of honey wine.

"You little rascal, at least you know how to care about your teacher."

Tsunade immediately smiled with satisfaction.

She picked up the wine jug and brought it to her lips when she was stopped.

"Teacher, you can't drink alcohol during work hours."

Aburame Shiki said with a serious expression, "If someone smells alcohol on my breath, it will damage the image of the Hokage."

"..."

Tsunade glared at him through gritted teeth.

Oil Girl Zhihui met her gaze without fear.

A few seconds later, Tsunade smelled the alcohol, licked her lips, and ultimately did not drink it.

She put away the honey wine in great pain, saying, "I don't want to stay in this damn Hokage's place for another second!"

Yu Nu Zhihui laughed unconsciously.

"What are you laughing at?"

Tsunade stood up angrily, stood on tiptoe, and flicked him hard on the forehead.

Oil Girl Zhihui covered his forehead and noticed her bare feet.

With her feet on tiptoe, her rounded toes touched the ground, and her insteps were straight, supporting her legs.

It's quite cute.

"I have an idea."

Tsunade sat back down in her chair, crossing her fair legs.

"What are your thoughts?"

"Is it possible?" asked Zhihui, the oil-producing woman, casually.

"You became Hokage ahead of schedule and handled your duties, but I am still Hokage."

Tsunade crossed her arms and asked, "What do you think?"

"???"

Yu Nu Zhihui organized her thoughts.

Are you trying to become Wu Zetian?

Two emperors attending court?

How could you even think of such a lazy way?

"Not very good."

Yu Nu Zhihui shook his head and said, "I refuse."

"Isn't your dream to become Hokage?"

Tsunade asked, somewhat annoyed.

"Of course."

"But I'm still a child," said Zhihui, a woman from the oil shop, in a serious tone.

"Where are you small?"

Tsunade stood up again, gestured, and said, "You're about the same height as me now."

Oil Girl Zhihui's eyelids twitched.

As soon as she stood up, her elastic top looked very precarious.

That's definitely not small.

"I'm just a low-ranking ninja."

"That's what Yu Nu Zhihui reminded me of," he said.

"That's true."

After a moment's thought, Tsunade said, "Let's talk about it after the Chunin Exams."

Aburame Shiki suddenly thought of Shimura Danzo.

If he saw this, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood and die.

The coveted Hokage position was thus casually passed around.

Will Shimura Danzo appear in the Chunin Exams?

The basis for Yu Nu Zhi Hui's judgment is the achievement he triggered, so we joined forces.

With Orochimaru and his Impure World Reincarnation technique added to the mix, Tsunade probably won't be able to handle it.

"teacher."

Aburame Shiki asked, "Will the Third Hokage participate in the Chunin Exams?"

Why are you suddenly asking this?

Tsunade paused for a moment, somewhat surprised.

"I asked for Naruto."

Oil-slicker Zhihui skillfully shifted the blame.

"Knowing him as I do, he will definitely participate."

Tsunade thought for a moment and then said.

Also.

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi's actions were criticized, his feelings for Konoha were undeniable.

If Orochimaru shows up, he definitely won't stand idly by.

The love and hate between the two could be talked about for three days and three nights without end.

Moreover, given Orochimaru's personality, he would also consider Hiruzen Sarutobi.

After all, he's just retired, not dead. He's bound to step in when something like this happens.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

Tsunade put on a stern face and said.

She never appears careless in front of outsiders.

After all, she's the Hokage; she has to put on an act.

But when she saw that the person who came in was Jingyin, she became lazy again.

Yu Nu Zhihui suddenly realized that everyone except him would knock on the door.

"Lady Tsunade."

Shizune said with a solemn expression, "I received a message from Itachi Uchiha."

"Uchiha Itachi?"

Tsunade sat up straight instinctively, her expression serious, and asked, "Is it really him?"

No wonder she was surprised.

Because after Itachi Uchiha joined the Akatsuki organization, he completely lost contact with everyone.

If it weren't for his immense strength, Tsunade would have seriously suspected that he had already died somewhere.

"It's him."

"Silence confirmed."

"What did he say?"

Tsunade couldn't help but have expectations.

"Meet at our usual spot tonight."

Answer in silence.

"The usual place?"

Tsunade said thoughtfully, "It should be the Uchiha clan's base."

"Only there."

"Oil Girl Zhihui echoed."

His first reaction upon hearing the news was that poor Sasuke was going to suffer again.

But from another perspective, this is like giving away cheat codes.

Is it just that the time was brought forward?

In the original work, Itachi Uchiha returned to Konoha Village after the Chunin Exams.

"The Chunin Exams are a mixed bag, so his return won't be easily noticed."

Tsunade rubbed her temples and said, "But they only contacted us after so long; their organization is probably planning a big operation."

There is indeed a major operation underway.

In the original work, Itachi Uchiha came to Konoha Village with Kisame Hoshigaki, with the aim of capturing Naruto Uzumaki, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

After a battle, they were frightened away by Jiraiya and gave up.

However, the Akatsuki organization did not take any further action after that.

Because the timing isn't right yet.

First, money.

Secondly, the death of the three-tailed beast.

Three years later, the Eye of the Moon Project officially began, with the entire Akatsuki organization mobilized to capture Jinchuriki and Tailed Beasts.

"We'll know tonight."

Yu Nuzhi tentatively said, "Teacher, I'll go with you."

"Alright."

After a moment's thought, Tsunade agreed.

This kid's ideas are always good; he might be able to help.

Besides, she has already decided to make him Hokage, so she should be involved in everything.

Night fell.

Itachi Uchiha concealed himself among the dense foliage.

He looked down into the courtyard.

Uchiha Sasuke stretched out his hand, and in his palm was a balloon filled with water.

Inside the balloon, chakra forces the water to move erratically.

A few seconds later, with a bang, the water balloon exploded.

Water droplets splashed onto Uchiha Sasuke, soaking him.

But he didn't care at all; instead, he smiled.

He completed the second stage of the Rasengan; the next step was to replace the water ball with a more durable leather ball.

"What kind of ninjutsu is this?"

Itachi Uchiha's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, "No hand seals needed, could it be the Fourth Hokage's Rasengan?"

Minato Namikaze was famous throughout the ninja world, and his ninjutsu was naturally the subject of much research.

Among them, the most iconic are the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Rasengan.

Itachi Uchiha let out a breath.

Sasuke was able to learn even the Rasengan, which shows that he was doing extremely well in Konoha.

Tsunade kept her promise.

"Sasuke."

Wearing an apron, Uchiha Mikoto came out and said softly, "Dinner's ready."

Seeing this, Uchiha Sasuke stopped training.

"Why is there water everywhere?"

As he approached, Mikoto Uchiha noticed his situation and instinctively reached out her hand.

"I'm going to change my clothes."

Sasuke Uchiha tilted his head to avoid her hand and said.

"Go quickly."

Mikoto Uchiha felt a little disappointed.

The child has grown up.

They used to be so clingy, but now they're so distant.

Of course, it's not that their relationship is bad, it's just that their personalities have changed.

Uchiha Itachi watched their disappearing figures, a complex expression on his face.

Soon, his gaze sharpened, and he turned to look behind him.

It's Tsunade and Shiki Aburame.

Uchiha Itachi leaped into the air and appeared in front of them.

"Did you come back alone?"

Tsunade cut to the chase and asked.

"no."

Itachi Uchiha shook his head. "And my teammate, Kisame Hoshigaki."

"One of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, known as the Tailed Beast without a Tail, has also joined your organization."

Tsunade frowned slightly.

Our organization is called Xiao (晓).

Itachi Uchiha took out a scroll and said, "This is the information I've gathered about the members."

Tsunade took it and quickly opened it.

The text above states that the Akatsuki organization has nine members, who can be divided into three levels based on the amount of intelligence they possess.

The first tier consists of Uchiha Madara, Pain, Konan, and Zetsu.

Itachi Uchiha knew very little about them.

Payne and Minami, in particular, had only met a few times.

However, upon investigation, he discovered that the former's eyes might be those of a Rinnegan.

The second tier consists of Kakuzu, Sasori, and Hidan.

There is a lot of information about Kakuzu because he is quite famous in the underground black market.

Hidan, from the Jashin cult of Yugakure, possesses an immortal body and uses blood as a medium to perform ninjutsu.

Scorpion, whose identity is unknown, but who is skilled in puppetry.

The third tier consists of Kisame Hoshigaki and Deidara.

Kisame Hoshigaki needs no introduction; his information is very detailed.

Deidara was a student of the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, and possessed the bloodline limit, Explosion Release.

Finally, the text also mentions the deceased Juzo Biwa and the defector Orochimaru.

After reading it, Tsunade's expression became very serious.

The Akatsuki organization was more powerful than she had imagined.

These nine members, along with Itachi Uchiha, were undoubtedly exceptionally strong.

Even Orochimaru briefly joined the Akatsuki organization.

What exactly is the Rinnegan?

Of all the information in this document, what Tsunade was most concerned about was the Rinnegan.

Those are the eyes of the Sage of Six Paths.

"I'm not sure if it's the Rinnegan."

Itachi Uchiha shook his head and said, "I have never seen Pain make a move."
