Uchiha Itachi has been very busy recently, unlike before when he was running around for missions. Now, he was running around for Konoha's business.

。

。

。

As the eldest son of the Patriarch, Itachi has always understood his responsibilities and has always remembered the responsibilities of the Uchiha Clan, but the father he loved and worshipped gradually changed with time.

Itachi, as Shisui said, was pursuing peace in Konoha, not just the peace of the Uchiha Clan.

But his father changed, he was no longer the great man in Itachi's mind who regarded justice as the highest standard. Now, he was just a pitiful man who was blinded by the so-called "Family Righteousness".

Thinking of the day when Shisui committed suicide, his father didn't even say a word of condolence. He was only worried about one thing, and that was the whereabouts of Uchiha Shisui's left eye.

Itachi's heart was completely cold.

Although his father had changed a lot before, Itachi always had the last hope that his father was still the same father, but because of the current situation, he had a different way of thinking.

But this time, not only his father, but also the elders of the Uchiha Clan, completely disappointed Itachi.

This family, the family he loved so much, has now reached the point where they are the enemy of the entire Konoha.

Itachi closed his eyes, and his expression gradually changed from pain to numbness.

It seems that in the end, he had to agree to the plan made by the Hokage and Danzo.

When Itachi opened his eyes again, his eyes were particularly cold.

。

。

。

"Hokage-sama, are you looking for me?"

Itachi walked into the hall. He was wondering why the Hokage didn't summon him in the Hokage's office. When he opened the door, he was in a state of confusion.

His father, the head of the Uchiha Clan, and the elders of the Konoha Clan were drinking tea and chatting with the leaders of Konoha???

What's wrong with father?

Isn't he afraid that Konoha will suddenly turn hostile and put them under house arrest?

And Hokage-sama, has he decided to change the plan and deal with Uchiha in advance?

But wouldn't it be a bad idea to make a move here?

"Oh, Itachi." Sarutobi looked at Uchiha Itachi with a smile. "We were just talking about you."

Uchiha Fugaku glanced at Sarutobi and slowly took a sip of tea. "Itachi, I didn't expect you to be a double agent."

Itachi:????

What?!

Itachi stared at the Hokage in disbelief. How did his father already know?

Sarutobi also took a sip of tea. "As expected of your son, the genius of the Uchiha Clan. He even managed to deceive you."

Uchiha Fugaku raised his eyes slightly and said coldly, "Haven't you told Itachi?"

"Oh, oh." Sarutobi looked at Itachi with a smile. "There were too many missions before, so I forgot to tell Itachi."

Itachi looked at this scene with a rare expression of bewilderment on his face.

Sarutobi put down the teacup and said calmly, "The mission is canceled."

Itachi seemed to have misheard. Canceled?

He must have misheard!

"What mission?

Hokage-sama, please tell me. "

Itachi had been kneeling on one knee since the beginning. At this moment, he raised his face and looked at his father and the Hokage in shock.

Sarutobi sighed. "It's no wonder that we suddenly reached a settlement so easily. I didn't believe it would be so smooth.

Yes, the previous secret mission has been canceled. "

Sarutobi sighed again, in exchange for Uchiha Fugaku's cold snort. "The situation is tense now, but you made such a decision. It really surprised me!"

Sarutobi faintly looked at Uchiha Fugaku. "Aren't you the same?

You actually want to cause a coup. "

。

。

。

Itachi's expression at this moment was almost sluggish. He looked at the two people in front of him and wondered if Uchiha Shisui's Kotoamatsukami had been activated.

Otherwise, why would they reveal all their plans to the other party like they were spilling beans???

Sarutobi looked at Itachi with a smile. "Now we have reached a consensus. We did make mistakes in our concepts before, but now we intend to strengthen our cooperation and make up for the past.

First, we decided to set up a Konoha caravan, and you, Itachi, who is more trusted by both sides, will be the captain.

Our commercial development is indeed not as good as other countries, and even some small countries' commercial development is better than ours.

Now, we will start trading on the basis of barter.

After that, I will meet with the Hokage and communicate with him. Our first stop is the Land of Wind! "

Fugaku stared at Itachi. "Remember, this is war!

Business is good for increasing our overall strength.

Business is war! "

。

。

。

Itachi was dizzy since he entered the door, and his whole head was in a mess.

He still couldn't believe the things in front of him. Until Kakashi suddenly appeared and gave him the red armband of the captain of the Konoha caravan, Itachi's eyes didn't become clear.

The whole council hall was peaceful, but Itachi's head was really bloody, and all kinds of extreme speculations came to his mind.

Has the plan been discovered, and Hokage-sama came up with this plan to stabilize the other side?

Father knows my identity as a spy, what kind of rules will he use to punish me?

Then, does the previous plan still need to be completed?

…

…

When he walked out of the council hall, he looked at the sky in the distance, but he felt that the sun was terrible.

The whole world seemed to become extremely peaceful. Itachi walked forward with blank eyes, and for a time, it was difficult to get rid of the confusion in his heart.

He has been wandering in the village.

。

。

。

Looking at Itachi's receding figure, Asuma smoked a cigarette. This kid was probably so scared that he was about to turn into a Buddha.

。

。

。

"Hey, when did it open?" Itachi hasn't been so calm for a long time.

The big and small changes in the village made him a little confused – and the streets in his memory had already changed unconsciously.

He had a feeling that things were the same, but people were different.

He looked at the flowers in the corner, and thought of the despair and pain he experienced because of the secret mission a few days ago. Those memories were like a dream.

At this moment, it seemed so unreal.

When he looked forward, he saw a pink-haired girl looking at him.

Itachi didn't know her, but her eyes were so stunned, so flustered. She held the flowers, lowered her head, and walked past him in a panic.

In a panic, she dropped a daisy.

Itachi went forward and picked up the flower, but when he looked up to find the girl, she disappeared.

Itachi's heart was empty, as if he lost something.

。

。

。

Shisui was hiding in the corner, making sure that Itachi had left. Fortunately, I was fast, or I was almost caught.

What's with Itachi's eyes?

Did he find me?

No, I've changed so much, it's impossible …

Anyway, I don't want Itachi to see me like this, it's too embarrassing!

So why did he buy flowers???

Xing also said that flowers can make customers happy physically and mentally – but now he felt despair because he met Itachi while buying flowers …

Sasuke was unhappy again recently – his brother had a new mission.

Although his brother's face was not as heavy as before, and he looked relaxed when he came home today, Sasuke seemed to see the blankness and emptiness on his brother's face.

No, how could Itachi, he must be thinking too much.

Mom seemed to be very happy recently. Usually, she was very worried when his brother went out to complete a mission, but this time, Sasuke felt that his mother seemed to be happy.

Itachi seemed to be the captain of a team.

Sasuke was not very clear about the content of Itachi's mission, but he only knew that he would not see his brother for a long time.

He was still a little disappointed in his heart.

Recently, Xing was rushing to make her silk scarves. She heard from Brother Kazuo that he had signed up for a caravan activity, and he could give the goods to the caravan to be sold in other countries.

Kazuo's brother helped to grow about 500 pounds of corn.

Xing needed to make 500 scarves. As for ready-made clothes, she had already made about 100 pieces. Although the quantity was not much, because the style was relatively new, the price was relatively high. If she could really sell it, she could make a lot of money.

Xing had already upgraded her sewing skill to level 5, and she could make 32 scarves in an hour. As long as she worked hard, she could make them in a week.

Chubby finally finished its upgrade. Now it could make fist-sized stones explode, but Xing felt that this ability was not useful for the time being.

And in order to prevent the villagers from being frightened by Chubby's appearance, Xing helped to make a panda jumpsuit for Chubby. To the public, it was announced that Chubby was a prematurely born deformed kitten with no hair and only one eye. It did look a little strange, but it was very docile.

Chubby was very reluctant — its tail was stuffed uncomfortably.

Kazuo's brother said that he wanted her to prepare in the next few days. He planned to take her to the Sand Country with the caravan — this way, she could broaden her horizons. He said so.

And according to the information provided by Chubby before, the Wind Country's system had prepared hidden resources.

She could go and check it out now.

Xing also understood her brother's meaning. If they just stayed in the village and repeated the daily routine, it would be a delusion to complete tasks and earn enough points to go home early.

Since they needed to take risks, they should not blindly avoid it.

But she still needed to tell Naruto and the others so that they would not worry.

Shisui seemed to be very worried about their caravan trip, but when he heard that Uchiha Itachi was also going, he was relieved — but Xing guessed that he was not only worried about them, but also somewhat relaxed.

But later, Shisui mentioned that there was a person called Hatake Kakashi going with them. It seemed that he was very powerful, and was sent by the Hokage-sama to ensure that the first trade exchange would be held smoothly.

And Sahiin also sent people to meet them on the way.

In short, there should be no problems with this event. Xing was not too worried or confused, but was instead a little excited. After all, she did not go abroad even once before!

。

。

。

"Huh?!"

Naruto was very shocked and raised his voice, which made Sasuke, who was still practicing Taijutsu with others behind them, stunned and almost knocked down. "Are you going back to Sahiin to inherit the family property???"

Sakura also came over curiously because she also knew a little about Xing.

Xing scratched her head. "No, I'm just going back to check some things. There is no family property or anything like that."

Naruto's face twisted into a painful lump — we agreed to be poor together, but now you want to become a rich woman?

"Then will you come back?" Sakura was a little disappointed.

Sasuke, who was resting on the side, heard this sentence, and his eyes unconsciously glanced over.

"I think the climate in Konoha is better — and my cousin and my family's shop are here, so I will definitely come back!"

Sasuke's face was cold. He wanted to say "Bon Voyage", but he found that he was not her friend, nor Naruto's friend, so it was a little strange to say such words.

He stood up, a little disappointed.

She watched quietly as Xing Yi skipped back home.
