Konoha: Doing good deeds can make you stronger

Chapter 284 A Rare Time of Peace

Now that the intention of Sarutobi Hiruzen is clear, the answer will be much smoother.

As Itachi's friend, Marutani Koko will of course take this opportunity to help him with some kind words. You must know that the current Marutani Koko and Itachi are grasshoppers on the same rope. If Itachi arouses suspicion in the village, then we have a good relationship with him. Of course I can't run away.

"Master Hokage, I'm not sure about other things. For the village, Itachi is really wholehearted. You should also know that he will go all out every time he receives a mission and doesn't care about his own safety. You can go ask None of the teammates he worked with before would give him a thumbs up, Itachi’s affection for the village is like Zhuge Liang’s affection for Liu Bei!”

Marutani Koko was very emotional, but Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned as he listened.

"Who is Zhuge Liang? Who is Liu Bei?"

"Uh, it's nothing, don't worry about this," Marutani Kou realized how outrageous things he just said, and even started to change the subject, "In short, Itachi has always respected the village very much, I believe Hokage-sama, you should also very clear."

Although I am very curious about who Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei were mentioned by Koko Marutani before, Hiruza Sarutobi also knows that Itachi and Shisui have always performed very well in the village, and other ninjas also spoke highly of them, just as What Marutani Ko thought, he took the initiative to ask Marutani Ko now only because the boy's sense of presence is too high recently, if he doesn't beat a little bit, maybe he will do something more amazing in the future.

"Okay, I see." After getting a fairly satisfactory answer, Hiruzaru Sarutobi nodded, and "let" the boy out, "Go, I have other things to do."

"Yes!"

A characteristic flattering smile appeared on Marutani Kou's face, and he left the room while laughing.

Damn it, it's too much to call me Xiao Tiantian when you need me, and Mrs. Niu when you don't need me.

After dealing with Sarutobi Hiruzen, Marutani Kou, who left the office, saw his little friends who were still waiting nearby before he reached the entrance of the Hokage Building, and quickly ran up.

Except for Kakashi who was cold outside and hot inside, the other three were waiting for Marutani Kou here, even Itachi and Shisui who were busy with business were no exception.

Probably worried about what Sarutobi Hiruzen and Marutani Kou said.

"Is Hokage-sama looking for you for something?"

Sure enough, as soon as Marutani Kou approached, Itachi couldn't wait to ask. Although he was quite calm in front of other people, he didn't have a trace of disguise in front of Marutani Kou.

"Well, he asked me a question."

Marutani Kou turned his head to look at the situation near the entrance of the Hokage Building, dragged a few people to an uninhabited corner, and recounted the previous conversation with Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Although Hiruzaru Sarutobi showed a little fear and concern about Itachi and the Uchiha clan during the conversation, Itachi and Shisui, who were the parties involved, breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the specific content.

"Since Hokage-sama asked you so openly, it means that he doesn't have any thoughts about the family for the time being."

There was a rare smile on Itachi's face. There have been many and complicated things in the family recently. He just took over and it is inconvenient to hand over to others, so he can only do everything by himself.

"I think so too," Marutani Kou nodded, which is also the reason why he deliberately "jumped" in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen before, "If Hokage-sama deliberately hides it, he will More dangerous, though."

Speaking of danger, another gloomy and cunning face appeared in Marutani Kou's mind unconsciously.

"We can't completely relax our vigilance yet. You know, Danzo is still watching from behind! I believe everyone should not believe that the things he did before were all commanded and manipulated by the mysterious masked man."

You must know that Shimura Danzo himself has not been punished much, and the vitality of his root organization has not been completely wiped out, they still have quite strong power.

I have to say that Danzo is really a ruthless character. If the mysterious masked man finds out afterwards that he has been used and has become a tool for Danzo and root whitewashing, he will probably be very angry, and it is not completely true that he will retaliate against Danzo at that time. impossible.

Compared with Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo really hates Uchiha, and he doesn't know what contradiction exists between them, so they are so hostile.

However, Danzo should not continue to attack Uchiha in a short time. He has just been dealt with by the village, and he will disappear for a while on the cusp of the storm for the sake of insurance.

If you think about it this way, this period of time should be the most peaceful time for the Uchiha clan and the village to recharge their batteries.

Maybe.

Different from before, the few people at this time were no longer leisurely people. They had something to be responsible for, and they left after a few simple talks.

As one of the few people who is still free, Marutani Koko plans to take advantage of this free time to prepare for the next stage of his strength improvement plan.

Then the first goal is obvious.

However, this plan seems to have encountered a lot of trouble at the beginning.

"Strange, what about people?"

With a puzzled expression, Marutani Hang wandered around in every corner of the village, but he couldn't find the figure he was trying to find, that strange and reliable figure.

Where's Matt Kay?

If Kakashi is the most difficult person to find in Konoha, then Maitekai is the other extreme.

He is simply the man with the most presence in Konoha.

If there is no mission, you can see each other in various training grounds, any forest, or even on the streets of the village as long as you wander around the village.

And every time he appears, the slogan full of magic and vitality will sound around him, even if you don't want to pay attention to him, you will be attracted by him, so if there are no accidents, finding him should be very simple and easy matter.

But now it seems that there is a little surprise.

Marutani Kou had already confirmed before that Maitekai had no mission to leave the village recently, but he went around the whole village, but he never found Maitekai’s body, even Kunpeng did not find his body. Chakra.

Not only that, when Marutani asked the villagers in the village for help, and wanted to get clues about the whereabouts of Maitekai, everyone's answers were not much different, and Maitekai disappeared.

"Senior Kai, where did this go?"

Or, go to school and ask Xiao Li?
However, because it was still school time at this time, Marutani Kou finally gave up on this idea and continued to walk on the street instead.

Just as the boy put away other thoughts and continued to wander, two very familiar voices suddenly sounded behind him.

"teacher!"

"Naruto! What are you doing!"

Ok?
These two voices?Isn't it Naruto and Xianglin?Isn't it time for class now?Did they skip class?
Marutani Kou looked back in the direction of the sound in doubt, but saw Naruto and Kaorin who were supposed to be in school at the same time appearing not far behind him at the same time, running towards him.

Naruto ran ahead with an anxious face, and Xiang Lin chased after him with an angry and worried face.

The two rushed straight to him.
