nThe secret technique that even strong people at the level of Orochimaru are interested in, if Kuroto says he is not interested, it is undoubtedly deceiving himself, so he bluntly said:

"What do I need to do to get it?

"

nOrochimaru answered something that was not what he expected,

"What do you think of Uchiha Itachi?

"

nKuroto answered without much need to think:

"Unlike many so-called geniuses, he is a true genius! Maybe in three to five years, he can grow to an unparalleled level.

"

nUpon listening to Kuroto's evaluation of Itachi, Orochimaru took out a scroll from his arms and threw it to Kuroto, he also said,

"Help me keep a close eye on him, and pay more attention to him. I am very interested in this Uchiha kid.

"

nWith these words left, the figure of Orochimaru disappeared into the shadow, as if it had never appeared before.

nHolding the secret technique scroll that Orochimaru threw over, Kuroto thought,

"Is it Itachi's Sharingan or Itachi's body that Orochimaru covets?

"

nThere is no doubt about Itachi's excellence, but Kuroto is a little confused about the so-called

"pay more attention

" of Orochimaru, what does it mean?

nAfter returning to the camp, Kuroto found that Itachi was writing and drawing on the pocketbook he carried with him, so he asked casually:

"What are you writing?

"

nItachi replied seriously:

"I'm recording the mission log.

"

nAccording to the village's regulations, all ninjas who perform missions must record mission logs. When returning to the village to hand over missions, the mission logs will be kept as files and sealed in the archives of the mission center.

nBut the rules are rules. In fact, there are very few ninjas willing to record mission logs in such a detailed manner.

nMost ninjas, such as Kuroto, simply dictate the summary of the task when handing over the task completion report, then record it on the spot by the staff of the task center, and finally save it in the archive.

nSeeing Itachi's dedication, Kuroto said with emotion:

"Itachi, you are the most meticulous ninja I have ever seen. Although you are such young, you are indeed meticulous in everything you do.

"

nClosing the notebook, Itachi replied,

"I just want to learn more from my senpais.

"

nKuroto shook his head and smiled, saying nothing more.

nAfter that, the return journey was smooth. Unlike the time when they came, Kuroto and Itachi, who rushed at full speed like ninjas, returned to the village in just one week.

nAfter submitting the task log in the task center, the task center immediately upgraded the difficulty level of this task from B to A!

nAs for the reason, it was because this mission involved Cloud Village, which is one of the Five Great Ninja Villages similar to Konoha Village, and the other side also dispatched their Jinchuriki and his guard team.

nJinchuriki is regarded as the strongest combat power in Ninja Villages, except for Kages. They are even considered the pillar of Ninja Villages. Therefore, when encountering such tricky characters in the task, and to able to successfully complete the commission is not considered easy. So, generally, the task center will upgrade the level of such tasks to their appropriate standards.

nOf course, the reward money given to KKuroto and Itachi is still the standard for the B-level mission, but their mission archives files have one more A-level mission completion record.

nIt is very rare for Chunin to complete an A-level mission, not to mention Itachi, who has not graduated yet, so Itachi who walked out of the mission center was very happy.

nLooking at Itachi's smiling face, Kuroto said with emotion:

"Only now can he really smile innocently like a child.

"

nBefore leaving, Itachi bowed deeply to Kuroto and expressed his gratitude sincerely:

"Kuroto-senpai, thank you for your guidance. I learned a lot from this mission. You are worthy real Konoha ninja!

"

nKuroto smiled and said,

"However, I don't remember teaching you anything.

"

nItachi replied:

"Although you are not a talkative person, you have taught me a lot with your actions, especially when we encountered the Matatabi Jinchuriki, you let me understand the persistence that a Konoha ninja should have!

"

nKuroto was startled when he heard the words, and immediately asked:

"Don't you think I was embarrassed at that time?

"

nItachi shook his head.

nKuroto raised the corner of his mouth:

"Then you know why when facing Cloud's humiliation can I keep calm?

"

nItachi thought carefully for a while, and tentatively replied,

"Because anger interferes with judgment, shouldn't the ninja not get angry?

"

n

"No...

" He waved his hand, and Kuroto smiled mysteriously:

"It's because I suddenly felt better when I thought of the Uchiha Itachi being looked down together!

"

n........ Itachi and Kuroto had some fun conversation, and after chatting a few words, he left.

nLooking at Itachi's leaving figure, Kuroto sighed slightly.

n'I have to say that the Uchiha clan is indeed weird. They are too easy to go to extremes.

nThere is this guy Obito who wants to put the entire world into an Illusion so that he can live together with the girl he loved.

nThere is this guy Itachi who killed off his entire clan, relatives, and parents for the sake of peace.

nAnd there is 'the Madara' of all people, the guy simply wants to put the entire Ninja World in an Infinite Genjutsu and decide the course of their life as per his whims.

nIf it's just thinking extremes, there are too many such people in the world.

nBut the Uchihas are different, and it is also their source of strength. The more extreme they are, the stronger their pupil power. Once their Sharingan evolves into Mangekyo, these people will have both the motivation to develop their extreme ideas and the strength to realize them.

nJust think about it, makes Kuroto shudder to the core.

nAn Uchiha should never be offended!

n…��...…..

nIn the Hokage office.

nThe Sandaime Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi is holding a tobacco pipe in his mouth, while looking at the file in his hand.

nSuddenly, Sandaime-sama asked the Hokage assistant beside him:

"That kid from Uchiha Clan just completed an A-level mission?

"

nBecause the village has now launched comprehensive monitoring of the Uchiha clan, so the fact that Itachi has just completed the task on the front foot, at the back foot, the mission archive file has already been passed to the Hokage office, for a review.

nThe assistant replied:

"Yes, it was originally a B-level commission, but Cloud Village was involved in the mission, and the other party also dispatched their Jinchuriki, so the mission center updated the mission evaluation and upgraded the B level to A level.

"

nWhile looking at the mission record, the Sabdaime said,

"This Hyuga Kuroto is related to Orochimaru?

"

nThe assistant replied:

"Yes, during the third shinobi world war, Orochimaru used his relationship to arrange Hyuga Kuroto from the front line battlefield to the hospital and served as a hospital guard for a while, however, Hyuga Kuroto isn't a medical ninja although is proficient in wound dressing, and his reputation in the medical class is not bad. Apart from close contacts with Orochimaru, there is no other stain.

"

nThe Sandaime took out Kuroto's personal files again, read his record, and then wrinkled his brows:

"Was he sent for cleansing?

"

nThe assistant replied:

"Yes, The Roots took him for cleansing once, but because the team encountered an unidentified wandering ninja, the cleaning operation failed and the Roots ninja Nara Mitsui who accompanied him was killed.

"

nThe Sandaime's frowned brows tightened again:

"Unidentified wandering ninja? Can you confirm it?

"

nThe assistant replied:

"Yes, there was also news from Sand Village's side, their assassination team responsible for the purge operation was also annihilated. However, the news they passed was a little vague. They seemed to know who the murderer was, but they didn't want to reveal. So the intelligence team analyzed that this so-called wandering ninja was probably a missing-nin of Sand village.

"

nThe brows of the Sandaime now relaxed:

"Since you can be sure that it was not made-up incident by Hyuga Kuroto, then observe him for a while. If there is no abnormality, cross him out of the cleaning list.

"

nFollowing the rebellion of Orochimaru and the Kyuubi Rebellion that followed, the village lost one after another the three Kage-class combat powers including Orochimaru, Yondaime Hokage, second-generation Kyuubi Jinchuriki several, elite and high-level Jonins, as well as a large number Chunin and Genin ninjas.

nAnd according to the information returned by the spies lurking in the other big Ninja villages, these Ninja villages seemed to be conspiring together after learning that Konoha had been hit hard. They were all a little bit ready to move.

nCoupled with the problems of the Uchiha clan in the village, the Sandaime who were struggling and internally and externally and have been a little tired of coping, so Danzo's purge action has been stopped indefinitely by him.
