Chapter 84: Uchiha Itachi

The matter of Orochimaru was just left unresolved, after all, there are not many people in Konohagakure who can be Orochimaru's opponents now, as for Danzo, he no longer has any responsibility.

After all, the Third Hokage still remembers the old feelings. Danzo was once his opponent, they shared life and death, and suffered together. They don't know how many disasters they have gone through together. The feelings between them can no longer be described in words.

Time flies again, in a blink of an eye, two years have passed, everything in the village has begun to stabilize, although there are still a few spies from enemy countries popping up from time to time, but it is no longer important, Konohagakure no longer has any important intelligence worth their spying.

Now Hatake Satoru is already 16 years old, his own strength has now reached a terrifying level, apart from him, no one knows.

Now even the Fourth Hokage rarely assigns tasks to Satoru, as long as Satoru does not do anything out of line, anything Satoru does is fine, this is the benefit of being strong.

"Ah, it's really a boring day."

On this sunny day, Satoru lay on the table in his father's shop, complaining boredly.

"Then you go and take some tasks, recently you are here, there are more Anbu around me, in a few days, I feel that my identity is not exposed by myself, but by you."

"Don't worry, the Fourth Hokage should have guessed it."

Hatake Satoru spoke in a lazy tone, his mouth was still chewing on something, and his voice was a bit vague.

After the night of the Nine-Tails, the Fourth Hokage once personally found him and asked if Hatake Sakumo was still alive. At that time, Hatake Satoru neither admitted nor denied. As his strength increased, Hatake Satoru's mentality also changed. He also didn't want Hatake Sakumo to continue living in hiding.

"The will of fire of your father, you really didn't inherit it at all."

Even if he has become like this now, Hatake Sakumo still loves the village where he has lived for decades. This idea is something that Hatake Satoru cannot understand, and he does not want to understand.

"Tsk, inheriting that kind of thing, can it be eaten?"

Satoru threw another piece of dessert into his mouth, speaking indifferently.

"But it will make you stronger."

Hatake Sakumo said seriously.

"But I'm already very strong now."

Hearing this, Hatake Sakumo was left speechless. He had heard Satoru say this more than once. The first time he heard this, Sakumo wanted to teach Satoru a lesson to prevent him from being too complacent, but he ended up being taught a lesson by Satoru instead, and his own pride was almost hit by Satoru's killer move.

Just then, a child with black hair and two tear grooves on his face walked in.

"I would like a box of glutinous rice balls."

The child walked up to the counter and said to Hatake Sakumo.

Satoru was also quite curious and turned his gaze to the little boy. This child was a regular customer in their shop and also had a very special identity, the son of the Uchiha clan leader, Uchiha Itachi.

"You're here again, Itachi."

Hatake Sakumo greeted him warmly. For this little devil who had contributed a lot to his turnover, Hatake Sakumo had a very good impression of him.

"Yes, the glutinous rice balls in your shop are the most delicious in the entire Konohagakure village."

Hearing Satoru say this, a happy smile appeared on Hatake Sakumo's face.

"Look at others, unlike you, who only know how to eat and can't say a nice word."

Seeing Satoru's lazy appearance, Hatake Sakumo was annoyed.

"Yes, yes, yes, the glutinous rice balls in your shop are the most delicious in the entire Konohagakure village."

Hatake Satoru echoed in agreement.

"This kid."

Hatake Sakumo shook his head. He was really speechless about his eldest son. His younger son was often busy with tasks and couldn't be seen. The eldest son who could often meet was always annoying him.

"Seeing you so leisurely every day, why don't you become a team leader? In this way, it wouldn't be a waste of your combat power, and you can also make a little contribution to Konohagakure.

Like that little devil just now, Uchiha Itachi, is said to be a rare genius, he should be very suitable to be your disciple."

"Father is really loyal to Konohagakure."

"After all, our Hatake clan has received the grace of Konohagakure village. If it weren't for Konohagakure, the Hatake clan would have been extinct long ago. There would be no me, and there would be no you."

"Yes, yes, yes, what father said is right, but being a teacher seems to be quite interesting, I can go and experience it."

Satoru also wanted to experience what it feels like to be Itachi's teacher.

"Then you hurry up and go, don't get in my way here."

After saying that, he directly drove Satoru away without mercy.

"Tsk, it's really ruthless. But Uchiha Itachi, indeed, is an interesting little devil."

A seven-year-old who can think from the perspective of the Hokage, can be said to be very precocious.

And Itachi naturally often saw Hatake Satoru in these two years, but because the Uchiha clan didn't know much about Hatake Satoru, he didn't get much information from Fugue.

He only knew that Satoru was strong.

"What are you thinking?"

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared next to Itachi, and the sudden voice startled Itachi.

"It turns out to be Shisui."

Itachi let out a sigh of relief.

"What are you thinking, you are so absorbed, you didn't even notice me approaching?"

Uchiha Shisui asked curiously.

"I'm thinking about a ninja named Hatake Satoru."

Hearing Itachi's words, Shisui's expression was somewhat surprised.

"What's wrong with him? Or did you have a conflict with him?"

"No."

Uchiha shook his head.

"But from your tone, it seems you know him?"

"Hmm."

Shisui nodded, but his expression became a bit serious.

"What kind of person is he?"

Seeing Shisui's expression, Itachi asked curiously. He rarely saw Shisui with such a serious expression.

"He is a very powerful person, even I am not his opponent. If I fight him, he can even defeat me without a scratch."

Hearing Shisui's words, Itachi's pupils couldn't help but shrink a bit, and an incredulous expression appeared on his face.

"Even you are not his opponent?"

"Hmm."

Shisui nodded.

"During the Third Great Ninja War, he was our leader. I once competed with him, but I lost without even touching his clothes. He has a very special Kekkei Genkai. It is said that even the Fourth Raikage has suffered a loss at his hands."

"He is that strong?"

"If possible, try to get along with him. Even if you can't get along, don't be his enemy."
