Chapter 265

They were anxious!

They didn't want to wait even a minute; they wanted to take action against the Uchiha tonight.

The Uchiha were too dangerous.

Waiting one more day would mean facing more variables; it was better to take this opportunity to cut the Gordian knot.

After they left.

The Hokage office became extremely quiet again.

Sarutobi Hiruzen furrowed his brows slightly.

His brows were tightly furrowed, and his face was extremely gloomy.

Amidst the swirling smoke, he began to think continuously, was his approach right or wrong?

"... Shikaku, why aren't you here!"

"If you were here, I could be more relaxed."

"But, forget it."

"Since the decision has been made, nothing else is important."

"Uchiha, don't blame me!"

"I originally wanted to let you live for a while longer, but who told you to have such a freak genius born in your clan."

"Looking at it this way, I can't keep you."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said softly.

Clearly.

In this situation, the one he missed most was still Nara Shikaku.

Although he wasn't a core member in the true sense of his small circle.

But he really couldn't do without his wisdom.

What's more.

He knew the philosophy of Ino-Shika-Cho very clearly in his heart.

As long as he remained in the position of Hokage, Ino-Shika-Cho could be completely trusted.

If Nara Shikaku were here, he wouldn't have to be so conflicted now.

But, there was no way.

Nara Shikaku was still on the front lines of the Grass Country.

This matter was too urgent.

There was simply no time to notify that side.

Finally.

After shaking his head helplessly, he couldn't be bothered to think about this matter.

Night, late at night.

Uchiha compound, Jin's small courtyard.

The two who had just finished eating were staying in the courtyard to digest their food.

Even Itachi wasn't training.

But his complexion was much better than before; at the very least, there was no paleness, and instead, it had become very rosy and lustrous.

Clearly.

This was all Uchiha Jin's credit!

And this physical change naturally couldn't be hidden from Itachi, the person involved.

It was precisely because he noticed this change in his body that he was now willingly listening to Jin's arrangements.

"Teacher!"

"In a week, I will start school."

"Thinking about it, it's really meaningless; I don't think I can learn any useful knowledge in the Ninja Academy."

"Do you think I can apply for early graduation?"

Yes.

Thinking about having to go to the Ninja Academy to study in the future made him feel very uncomfortable.

Itachi knew better than anyone what the situation at the Ninja Academy was like.

With his current strength, if he really applied, he could truly meet the graduation requirements.

So.

After seeing the teacher in front of him, he couldn't help but ask.

And, on the other side.

Upon hearing Itachi's words, Uchiha Jin fell into silence.

He really hadn't expected that, without realizing it, Itachi was already due to start school.

If that was the case.

It had been nearly eight years since he transmigrated here.

At the beginning.

He had a sense of alienation from the whole world.

This was actually the reason why he didn't want to make friends and was always alone.

But, unexpectedly.

Along with graduating from the Ninja Academy, in such a short time, he not only had a group of friends.

He even had industries, subordinates, and even a disciple.

Especially for the Uchiha, a ninja clan he had always looked down upon, he even had a tiny bit of belonging.

However, this was normal!

After all, humans are social animals, and with so many bonds, he didn't know if it was good or bad.

The only thing he knew was that he could now be considered to have completely integrated into this world.

Sigh!

With a slight sigh, he couldn't help but think of Itachi.

According to the original work, Itachi only stayed in the Ninja Academy for one year and would graduate early next year.

It was also during this year that he completely believed in the Will of Fire.

Subsequently.

The newly graduated Itachi was noticed by Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Fugaku also began to let him act as a spy, hoping he could infiltrate the core of the Hokage.

Immediately after.

Itachi, brainwashed by the Will of Fire, told Sarutobi Hiruzen about the matter.

Sarutobi Hiruzen played along and transferred Itachi directly into the Anbu.

In short.

Under normal circumstances, Itachi would join the Anbu next year.

This also meant that the Third Great Ninja War was coming to an end.

"Early graduation, that won't do!"

"Although the Ninja Academy can't teach you anything, it can let you make friends."

"I'll give you a task, brat!"

"..."
