Konoha: Deceiving Itachi for Seven Years in Crossdressing, Obito Comes

Late at night.

Hiruzen Sarutobi hadn't left the Hokage's office even after the high-level meeting had ended.

Although the village had suddenly gained an Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, and a series of follow-up plans had been made,

He still had much to do.

The Anbu were still increasing their manpower, keeping a close watch on the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.

Preventing him from suddenly going berserk, or if this was all just a conspiracy.

After all, in this sensitive period, Konoha couldn't afford to be careless.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was also repeatedly reviewing all the information about this uninvited guest.

How he came to Konoha, and why he came to Konoha.

These were all problems.

But the information was scarce...

Other than the time of his arrival in Konoha, and the reason that had yet to be explained, there was nothing else.

"He arrived in Konoha... not long after Haruko returned."

Hiruzen Sarutobi recalled this easily overlooked piece of information.

The girl returned to report on her mission, and soon after, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki followed her to Konoha, where he was taken into custody by the Anbu.

Was there any connection between them?

Hiruzen Sarutobi closed his eyes, frowning as he pondered.

He didn't think that the girl would have any relationship with the Jinchuriki of an enemy nation.

But the timing was so coincidental.

He couldn't help but think carefully about it.

However...

The news of the Eight-Tails being in Konoha had already spread.

Not only to Kumogakure and Kirigakure, two hostile forces that were always active on Konoha's borders.

Iwagakure and Sunagakure had also received the news.

The Eight-Tails was too much of a burden for Konoha.

But before handing him over, maximizing strategic gains was Konoha's opportunity.

The best outcome.

Kumogakure would temporarily give up harassing Konoha, and might even reach an alliance.

Kirigakure would withdraw its troops, and whether it was because of Kumogakure's decision, or because of gaining a Jinchuriki, they would also form an alliance with Konoha.

In any case.

No matter how the Eight-Tails was handed over, for Konoha, it would not only be a windfall, but also address a pressing issue.

Anyway, it wouldn't be a loss.

And this was exactly what he excelled at...

At the same time.

Another shadow in Konoha wasn't in such a good mood.

Danzo was also looking at the same intelligence that the Anbu had sent to Hiruzen.

He was also investigating possible conspiracies.

He was also pursuing the maximization of Konoha's interests...

However.

The interests in the eyes of the two were clearly not the same.

Even in Danzo's eyes, the Konoha in the two people's eyes was gradually becoming different...

When given the opportunity to overwhelm other ninja villages once again, one shadow was thinking about how to appease the enemy.

This was a joke in itself!

Danzo looked at the intelligence with a dark face.

He wasn't thinking about how much Konoha could gain.

But how much the enemy nation would lose...

This was also what he excelled at.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Danzo seemed to notice something, and his brow furrowed even more.

"Haruko Uchiha..."

"A coincidence?"

A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and Danzo was suddenly puzzled.

Why was this girl from the Uchiha family everywhere?

"Where did Haruko Uchiha go after returning to Konoha?"

"Was there anything abnormal?"

Without taking his eyes off the intelligence, Danzo asked coldly.

There was nothing abnormal.

A black shadow suddenly appeared, knelt on one knee, and answered quickly.

"After reporting on her mission, Haruko Uchiha went straight back to her residence, which is still Orochimaru's former residence."

"As for the rest, because you ordered us to temporarily stop monitoring, there is no specific information."

Root's answer was clean and concise.

Danzo's gaze became even colder.

Clearly.

On this matter, he didn't trust the girl as much as Hiruzen Sarutobi did.

Or rather...

What he didn't trust was the girl's surname, the Uchiha's cursed nature.

"Restart surveillance on Haruko Uchiha."

Soon, Danzo made a decision.

Although if the target was someone else, this decision might have turned into bringing her back for questioning in a matter of minutes...

"Find out her relationship with the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, and..."

"Have Uchiha Shisui complete this mission."

Danzo said coldly.

"Yes!"

The Root member disappeared.

And in the same place, Danzo's gaze became even gloomier...

To deal with the Uchiha.

As expected, it still had to be the Uchiha...

........

Swish, swish, swish!

Several figures swiftly swept through the forest.

It was Team Kakashi, who had just completed their mission and were preparing to return to Konoha.

Although it was late at night, the team members' desire to return home didn't seem to be hindered by the darkness.

Even if they were exhausted.

Itachi had been feeling restless lately.

Perhaps the life of killing and violence in the Anbu was making him uncomfortable.

Or perhaps the increasingly strained relationship between the clan and Konoha was making him worried.

In short, Itachi's mood was a bit agitated.

..... ..... 0

The Anbu...

Wasn't as good as he had imagined.

His father had said that he was "the Uchiha's political eyeball."

So what kind of mood would Haruko, who voluntarily joined the Anbu for the sake of the Uchiha, be in when carrying out her missions?

Itachi had been searching for the answer for many days.

It certainly wouldn't be the same as him, because his father hadn't mentioned Haruko when ordering him.

If he had to say...

Haruko was probably the Uchiha that was shown to Konoha, the Uchiha that the Uchiha wanted Konoha to see, the Uchiha as a "white mask"....

Peaceful, and detached from worldly affairs.

Itachi guessed.

He didn't know if his answer was correct.

And this answer was also one of the reasons for his restlessness...

Thinking of this, Itachi couldn't help but look at the figure who was always at the forefront.

Kakashi-senpai.

He was a senpai who took good care of his subordinates, and he seemed to take extra care of Haruko.

Not long ago, after a battle, Kakashi-senpai had suffered some minor injuries.

But he didn't care at all...

"Well. With Haruko not around, all I can do is think about her smile."

"Keep it up."

Those were the senpai's exact words at the time.

The wound wasn't deep, but it definitely hurt.

While admiring the senpai's resolve, his heart gradually became complicated.

So.

He wasn't the only one who missed Haruko...

That was good, yeah.
