Chapter 64

The Third Hokage began to prepare to meet Shi Yuan.

Itachi opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but seeing the Third Hokage's appearance, he didn't say it out loud.

He didn't think Shi Yuan was just a child; he was even more mature than himself.

Furthermore, he didn't think Shi Yuan would join the Hidden Leaf.

"I hope Lord Hokage does not provoke Shi Yuan, otherwise I don't know what will happen."

Itachi watched the Third Hokage lead people away from the Hokage building, his mood incredibly heavy.

Shi Yuan walked out of the room and looked into the forest.

There were more than a dozen figures approaching rapidly.

"Who is it?"

Swish, swish, swish!

Several figures appeared not far in front of him one after another.

"Third Hokage?"

Shi Yuan looked at the short old man at the front with surprise.

The leader of the Hidden Leaf Village actually appeared in front of him so openly.

Was he not afraid that he would kill him?

The Third Hokage was very satisfied with the surprised expression on Shi Yuan's face.

He was not surprised that Shi Yuan recognized him; after all, Orochimaru was his disciple.

But this was the effect he wanted.

He, the Hokage himself, came to see him; he must be very shocked, right?

The Third Hokage stepped forward with a kind smile and said gently:

"Itachi must be Shi Yuan; I have heard about Itachi from Itachi."

At the same time, the Anbu members scattered in all directions, remaining in a state of alert.

"So, did the Hokage come to find me to avenge your Hidden Leaf ninjas?"

Shi Yuan's expression was calm, his mind pondering his intentions.

After all, he hadn't forgotten that he had killed quite a few Hidden Leaf Anbu.

Those Anbu were looking at him with murderous intent.

The Third Hokage's expression paused, feeling somewhat awkward.

He had been too excited and had forgotten about this.

With Anbu members watching all around, he had to handle this well.

He immediately became serious.

"I will naturally handle that matter, but I am more interested in knowing what your purpose is in coming to the Hidden Leaf as a dangerous person!"

Shi Yuan raised an eyebrow, smiling mockingly: "That doesn't seem to have anything to do with the Hokage."

"Itachi are too dangerous; since Itachi have appeared in the Hidden Leaf, I naturally cannot ignore it!"

The Third Hokage's expression was solemn, feeling that something was wrong.

The development of events was not what he had expected.

Being stared at by Shi Yuan's eyes, he felt as if he had been seen through.

This feeling made him very uncomfortable.

"So, what does the Hokage want?"

Shi Yuan asked, narrowing his eyes.

He didn't care much about the Hidden Leaf.

As long as they didn't hinder his research into those secret techniques, forbidden techniques, and Kekkei Genkai, it was fine.

The Third Hokage took a deep breath, his thoughts turning rapidly.

The other party was not as easy to deal with as he had thought; he needed to change his approach.

"That matter is not urgent; I learned some information about Itachi from Itachi. I heard that Itachi have developed many S-rank secret techniques?"

He stared fixedly at Shi Yuan while speaking.

"That's right!"

Shi Yuan understood the other party's purpose and said impatiently:

"Hokage, if Itachi have something to say, just say it directly; I don't like this roundabout way of speaking."

"Are Itachi looking for the secret techniques I developed?"

The Third Hokage was stunned, a bit unaccustomed to this direct way of speaking, and nodded stiffly.

Shi Yuan extended a hand, "Alright, then what is the Hokage prepared to trade with?"

If he could obtain those secret techniques and forbidden techniques through trading, he was willing to save some trouble.

The Third Hokage took a deep breath and said solemnly:

"No trade is needed; I want to change the approach, perhaps it will be better for both of us!"

Shi Yuan looked at him without speaking.

"I hope Itachi can join the Hidden Leaf!"

The Third Hokage said solemnly.

Shi Yuan showed a look of surprise upon hearing this.

Seeing this, the Third Hokage breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said:

"After joining the Hidden Leaf, as long as Itachi have my consent, Itachi can look at any secret technique or forbidden technique Itachi want!"

"The Hidden Leaf is the ninja village with the most secret and forbidden techniques in the ninja world; don't Itachi want to study the secret techniques left behind by the First Hokage and the Second Hokage?"

"Others can't even see these secret techniques if they want to, but with my permission, Itachi can look at them whenever Itachi want!"

"The secret techniques Itachi develop will influence the Hidden Leaf, and even the entire ninja world, making Itachi a great legend like the First Hokage!"

The Third Hokage tried his best to persuade him, speaking until he was foaming at the mouth, his face flushed red.

Talking about ideals, revenge, the First Hokage...

It was purely an inducement!

Shi Yuan wasn't excited yet, but the Third Hokage was truly excited.

However, Shi Yuan did not speak upon hearing this; instead, he looked at him with eyes like he was looking at a fool, teasingly saying:

"Are there any other requirements?"

The Third Hokage didn't notice his gaze; hearing this, he thought he was moved, and his spirits lifted.

"Since these secret techniques were developed based on the village's secret techniques, they must naturally be handed over to the village for safekeeping."

"But don't worry, the Hidden Leaf will not treat Itachi unfairly!"

Shi Yuan was completely speechless.

He had heard in his past life that one should hand over antiques if found, but he had never experienced it.

He didn't expect that in this life, he would have to hand over secret techniques; it was truly ridiculous...

"Anything else?"

The Third Hokage hadn't fully recovered yet, "And the secret techniques Itachi developed in the past must also be handed over to the Hidden Leaf..."

The voice stopped abruptly.

He looked at the teasing Shi Yuan opposite him with a stiff face; how could he not know that he had been played like a monkey, and he was immediately furious.

"Keep talking, why don't Itachi continue?"

The Third Hokage's face flushed red, and just as he was about to speak, Shi Yuan interrupted him.

"I have to get your consent to look at secret techniques?!"

"The secret techniques I developed have to be handed over to the Hidden Leaf?!"

"The secret techniques I developed in the past also have to be handed over to the Hidden Leaf?!"

"Are Itachi a moron to be able to say such things?!"

Shi Yuan's voice grew louder and louder, and in the end, he couldn't help but get a little angry.

Was this Third Hokage's IQ lacking, or what, to be able to say such moronic things.

"I..."
