"This matter has to start from when I got the inheritance of Mount Myoboku by chance." Jiraiya began to tell Itachi Uchiha about the child of prophecy and the unknown future that had become chaotic, as mentioned by the Great Toad Sage.
The long-term, peaceful future that Jiraiya mentioned, which would appear in the Shinobi World under the efforts of the child of prophecy, made Itachi Uchiha's mind move slightly, and a few traces of expectation appeared on his face.
When he heard that the future had changed and Jiraiya guessed that it was related to Kuragami Uchiha, Itachi Uchiha's face also showed some understanding.
'Kuragami Uchiha really has huge ambitions, but I didn't expect that if he became Hokage, there would be such serious consequences.'
Itachi Uchiha thought to himself.
It can be said that no one would take Jiraiya's illusory prophecy seriously, but Itachi Uchiha is different.
First of all, he has some prejudice against Kuragami Uchiha and thinks about the meaning of life and the grand proposition of peace all day long.
The perfect future described by Jiraiya under the efforts of the son of prophecy can be said to have hit his G-spot.
Coupled with a little arrogance and stubbornness unique to the Uchiha Clan, Itachi Uchiha's brain circuit has completely closed at this moment, and he believes in what Jiraiya said.
"Itachi, I need you to help me."
Jiraiya patted Itachi Uchiha's shoulder and said: "Help me prevent that chaotic future."
"Jiraiya-sama, what do you need me to do?" Itachi Uchiha asked.
"Take over the position of Anbu captain."
Jiraiya said: "Now, in the entire Anbu, you are the only one who is strong enough and has not been influenced by Kuragami Uchiha."
Itachi Uchiha was speechless, but after the Will of Fire and the peaceful future predicted by Jiraiya flashed through his mind, Itachi Uchiha also made up his mind.
"I understand, Jiraiya-sama." Itachi Uchiha stood up and saluted.
"Okay."
Jiraiya also showed a relieved smile on his face: "I knew that the Third Hokage was right when he said that you are a good child with the Will of Fire in your heart."
"Jiraiya-sama, you are too kind. It is the responsibility of every Konoha ninja to contribute to the village." Itachi Uchiha said.
… … …
The next day, Itachi Uchiha took office as the captain of the Anbu.
Some members of the Anbu were not convinced by his appointment, but because of Jiraiya's identity, they did not express any dissatisfaction.
However, Seiichi Nagai sent the news to Kuragami Uchiha's desk that night.
The next day, Kuragami Uchiha went to the Hokage building with several leaders of the Konoha Military Police Force to deliver the task report on the collusion between the three clans and Orochimaru to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Third Hokage-sama, the detailed investigation report is here; please take a look." Kuragami Uchiha put the task report on Hiruzen Sarutobi's desk, took a step back, and said.
Hiruzen Sarutobi just glanced at the report and put it on the table, then said: "Thank you for your hard work, Kuragami."
"It's all for the Will of Fire." Kuragami Uchiha bowed and saluted.
"In addition, from the three clans involved in the case, after the illegal gains they have obtained over the years have been paid to the families of the victims in accordance with the standard, there is still about 2 million Ryo of stolen money left. According to the rules, this money should be included in the village's finances. Please sign, Hokage."
After saying that, Kuragami Uchiha placed a scroll containing 2 million in cash and an account book on Hiruzen Sarutobi's desk.
"Only 2 million Ryo left?" Hiruzen Sarutobi looked up at Kuragami Uchiha.
As the Hokage, he still knew how much of the three clans' industries had been seized during this period.
"In order to appease the dissatisfaction of the victims' families, the compensation this time is based on the highest standard."
Kuragami Uchiha said slowly: "We at the Konoha Military Police Force are also afraid that the impact of this incident will be further expanded, so we made such a choice."
"After all, the length of time this case has been hidden, and the number of people involved is far beyond our expectations. If we cannot give the victims a satisfactory answer, it will still have a great impact on the stability of the village."
Kuragami Uchiha said: "The Konoha Military Police Force records every sum of money in the book; please take a look, Third Hokage."
Hiruzen Sarutobi picked up the account book, took a rough look, and put it down after a while.
This account book was written by professionals who Kuragami Uchiha got from Gato; Hiruzen Sarutobi naturally could not see any problems.
But Hiruzen knew that if it was just to compensate the victims, it would definitely not take so much.
Now, the Konoha Military Police Force has already distributed the money; he knew that under the current situation, it seemed that this was the only way.
In addition, Kuragami Uchiha's words carried a vague threat, so Hiruzen Sarutobi could only nod his head: "Kuragami, you have considered this matter carefully."
Then, Hiruzen Sarutobi signed the report.
After signing, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked up at Kuragami Uchiha and asked casually: "Kuragami, how is the investigation of the two advisors by the Konoha Military Police Force going?"
"Hokage-sama, after the investigation of the Konoha Military Police Force, the two former advisors have nothing to do with the incident of colluding with Orochimaru to kidnap the companions in the village."
Kuragami Uchiha said: "However, the Konoha Military Police Force interrogated the thugs in the last abdication incident, and many of them pointed out that the two former advisors were the masterminds of this incident. The Konoha Military Police Force is still confirming whether the two former advisors have colluded with forces outside the village."
As soon as Kuragami Uchiha said this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's idea of fishing out the two old teammates was suppressed.
After a long time, Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke up and reminded: "Although the two advisors made mistakes in this matter, they have made contributions to the village over the years. The Konoha Military Police Force should be more careful about their methods."
Kuragami Uchiha nodded with a smile and when Hiruzen Sarutobi saw this and said no more.
After Kuragami Uchiha finished his work, he led his people out of the Hokage's office.
When he went out, Kuragami Uchiha deliberately walked out of the main door with a swagger. Several members of the Jonin squad they met on the way greeted Kuragami Uchiha with a smile.
The masked Anbu, although they did not take the initiative to say hello due to the rule that the Anbu could not reveal their identities in front of others, would still nod and greet Kuragami Uchiha after meeting him.
