The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 276 Overconfident

Uchiha clan.

Having recovered their strength, Naruto and Sasuke, under Itachi's leadership...

I finally made it back on the morning of the second day.

And instead of going through the main gate of Konoha Village, they came to the Uchiha clan's territory.

When they arrived, they saw from afar that Chiyo was standing at the door with Gaara, talking to Hyuga Sōta.

"With me overseeing things, nothing will happen. Just write down the truth about Gaara having his tailed beast extracted."

"I will personally handle the Akatsuki organization; it's just Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast."

Sota replied, "Then I'll head back first. Naruto shouldn't go out for the time being."

Qianyao nodded: "No problem. Their strength is a bit lacking, so it's a good opportunity for them to receive special training."

Cang Tai bowed and left.

Originally, considering Naruto's status as the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki...

It should be monitored by the Hyuga clan.

However, the people led by Hyuga Souta went to great lengths to curry favor with Chiyo.

This surveillance is just for show.

Even when Naruto left the village this time, it should have been Hyuga who was monitoring him, but Chiyo personally followed behind.

Hinata pretended that nothing had happened.

If things go smoothly, the people of Konoha will naturally turn a blind eye.

After all, everyone can see that the Hyuga clan is deliberately trying to curry favor with the Uchiha.

However, this time the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki's team was attacked, so the situation is different.

The Hyuga clan will definitely face criticism.

Cang Tai's question was asking how Qian Yao planned to handle this matter.

Chiyo meant that he would take the blame and that the advisors and elders would personally look after the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, so it was naturally very safe for him.

Besides, the Hyuga clan can see that far, so who says the Hyuga clan is no longer around?

After all, he wrote the report himself, so he wrote that Elder Chiyo caused the One-Tailed Jinchuriki Gaara to have his tailed beast extracted in order to protect the safety of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Naruto.

As for Gaara's matter, that's their own business.

How simple it is.

Since Chiyo has already expressed his opinion, Sota won't have any trouble.

"Gaara!" Naruto jumped right over.

"Great!" Naruto was about to give Gaara a loving hug.

But it got blocked by sand again.

"Naruto, I'm fine." Gaara appeared completely normal.

Naruto was relieved.

"Oh, Principal, why is your hair all white?"

Sasuke lagged behind Naruto, and seeing Naruto so enthusiastically hug Gaara, he just pursed his lips.

"Master, why is your hair all white?"

Gaara opened his mouth to answer, but was stopped by Chiyo waving his hand.

"It's nothing, Gaara is fine, you two don't need to worry."

"You failed in your first mission, but this time the responsibility does not lie with you."

"Although you didn't handle it well, you can learn gradually in the future. As long as you weren't injured or killed, that's good."

"The three of you are a team, so you know the procedure for mission failure, right?"

The three exchanged glances: "We know, Principal. We'll go to the mission center now to verify the mission."

"Go ahead." Qianyao waved his hand.

The three of them headed towards the mission center together.

……

Itachi saw that Chiyo's hair was completely white and a look of worry appeared in his eyes.

"Senior, how are you?"

Qian Yao shook his head slightly: "It's alright, it will be fine after a while."

Itachi felt relieved.

"Senior, are we just returning Shukaku to Sunagakure like this so that it will be captured by Obito later?"

"I thought you wouldn't ask," Qian Yao said with a smile.

Itachi looked a little embarrassed; given his usual personality, he definitely wouldn't have asked.

However, his relationship with Fugaku has long been repaired, and Fugaku told him that if he didn't understand something, he should definitely ask.

Despite having been through a lot, Itachi is still not 16 years old.

From Qianyao's perspective, he is still an immature teenager.

The key issue is that he is not familiar with Shukaku, and he doesn't even know what Qianyao's intentions are.

Their location was near the entrance to the Uchiha clan's main gate, so they were naturally very safe.

Qianyao held up three fingers:

Three reasons.

"First, we'll make the Akatsuki openly hostile to us, making it easier for those who want to deal with us to come out and target the Akatsuki."

"Second, in order to create a character for Zenku, we will change the priority of Jinchuriki on the battlefield, so that it will be easier for Nagato or Obito to capture Tailed Beasts in the future."

"Third, Shukaku is not so easy to control, especially since I have kept it locked up for more than two years. Now it is in a completely uncommunicative and manic state."

After bending his three fingers, Qianyao looked westward, towards the territory of the Wind Kingdom.

“The economy of Sunagakure is very bad, and Rasa has been panning for gold in the desert to subsidize the economy of Sunagakure.”

Do you know what this means?

Itachi pondered for a moment: "Is Rasa indispensable?"

Qian Yao nodded slightly: "It is precisely because of this indispensability that Luo Sha has such a high opinion of himself."

"He never thinks he is wrong."

"You know what Gaara suffered as a child, right?"

Qianyao reminded him, and Itachi nodded slightly.

He continued, "His arrogant attitude is exactly the same as yours back then; he will always think he is right."

"Anything that can't seal the Tailed Beasts is a failure."

“Sunagakure will make many attempts, but every attempt will deplete the village’s resources.”

"Even if they succeed, it won't be a big deal. For the Uchiha clan, tailed beasts are the last thing they need to worry about."

"As for whether Obito or Nagato will collect the Tailed Beasts, we'll have to wait and see how things develop."

Qianyao looked up at the sky: "You need to understand, we have many enemies."

"Grow up quickly, the family can't have only one strong person like me."

Itachi also looked up at the sky with Chiyo: "I understand, senpai."

……

Konoha Village Mission Center.

"Let me see, escort mission, mission failed because the mission personnel died."

The staff of Konoha are checking off the mission after reviewing Sasuke's team's mission.

"Huh? This person didn't specify who would be the beneficiary of the compensation for mission failure."

The staff member muttered something.

The ninja world is in chaos, and escort missions can still fail.

As one of the five great ninja villages, the mission system is quite reliable.

After all, if you trust this ninja village and pay money to escort them but fail, then it's the ninja village's responsibility.

Regardless of the amount of compensation, at least the task fee should be returned.

However, since the person in charge of this mission was Itachi in disguise, there was no compensation to the beneficiary.

The staff didn't pay much attention; it would be better if they didn't have to pay compensation.

He said to Naruto, Sasuke, and Gaara outside the window:

"You're lucky; the other party didn't fill in a beneficiary for the compensation, so you don't have to pay."

"However, your mission level will need to be lowered soon."

After the three left the mission center, an Anbu member immediately went to report to the Hokage.
