Chapter 515

Fugaku Uchiha stopped abruptly and asked instinctively.

"Kakashi Hatake."

Sasuke Uchiha repeated it again, "Brother said he is a super genius!"

"Itachi became his student?"

Fugaku Uchiha's gaze sharpened, and he asked hurriedly.

"Yes."

Sasuke Uchiha noticed his expression and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Senior Kakashi retired from the Anbu today and became a teacher at the Ninja Academy."

Itachi Uchiha realized that Fugaku Uchiha had misunderstood and explained in time.

"Is that so?"

Fugaku Uchiha thought it was a pity.

Kakashi Hatake was the student of the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze.

If Sasuke Uchiha could become his student, it would mean becoming a ninja of the Hokage lineage.

And ninjas of the Hokage lineage had another title: Hokage candidates.

Of course, the premise was that the age had to be appropriate.

People like Danzo Shimura, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane were also ninjas of the Hokage lineage.

But because they were advanced in age, they were no longer considered Hokage candidates.

The current Hokage candidates were Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Kakashi Hatake.

Although Kakashi Hatake had the lowest support, he was indeed qualified to compete for the next generation of Hokage.

"Kakashi's strength is good; Itachi can build a good relationship with him."

Fugaku Uchiha instructed.

Without a doubt, this was a good thing.

Sasuke Uchiha had one more choice for a teacher.

Whether it was Kitazawa or Kakashi Hatake, as long as it worked, it was fine.

Of course, Fugaku Uchiha preferred Kitazawa.

After all, Kitazawa's teacher was Tsunade, and her becoming the Fifth Hokage was already a certainty.

Kakashi Hatake's teacher was Minato Namikaze, and a deceased Hokage didn't have that much influence.

Itachi Uchiha could guess what Fugaku Uchiha was thinking.

However, this was indeed something that would help ease the relationship between the Uchiha clan and the Hidden Leaf Village.

Now, Danzo Shimura had temporarily laid low because the Root had suffered heavy losses.

The Uchiha clan had also become much more settled due to Fugaku Uchiha's warnings and Tsunade's several strong actions against Danzo Shimura.

This was simply a beautiful situation that Itachi Uchiha had never seen before.

"Itachi, come to my room; I have something to ask Itachi."

Fugaku Uchiha patted Sasuke Uchiha's head and entered the room.

"I'll be back soon."

Itachi Uchiha smiled at Sasuke Uchiha and followed Fugaku Uchiha.

"I just received news from the Anbu that a Jonin meeting will be held on Sunday morning."

Fugaku Uchiha asked straight to the point, "The Jonin meeting hasn't been held for almost a year; do Itachi know what it's about?"

He had let Itachi Uchiha join the Anbu just to be a spy so he could know the movements of the Hidden Leaf's high-level officials.

And every time a Jonin meeting was held, it meant something big was happening.

"I don't know the specific reason either."

Itachi Uchiha paused and said, "Perhaps it's related to Kitazawa; Kitazawa has been entering and leaving the Hokage's office most frequently these past few days."

"Could it be to announce the news of Kitazawa becoming Tsunade's student?"

Fugaku Uchiha asked thoughtfully.

"It's possible."

Itachi Uchiha nodded and said.

Time arrived at Sunday.

The first week of winter break had also come to an end.

The training ground of the Ninja Academy.

Usually, Naruto Uzumaki and the others arrived at eight, but today they were half an hour early.

Besides that, Kabuto Yakushi, Shikamaru Nara, and others who didn't participate in the special training were all present.

"Teacher Kitazawa asked me to inform Itachi."

Karin took the lead and said, "He has to attend a Jonin meeting in the morning, so let's train on our own."

"Then should we schedule the meal for Teacher Kitazawa at noon or in the evening?"

Naruto Uzumaki scratched his head and asked.

"It's best to schedule it at noon."

Kabuto Yakushi adjusted his glasses and said, "In the evening, Teacher Kitazawa will definitely be eating with Lady Tsunade and the others."

"Hmm."

Karin nodded and said, "My mom also told me to go back for dinner in the evening."

"But we don't know how long the Jonin meeting will last."

Ino Yamanaka frowned and asked, "What should we do if we miss lunch?"

"I investigated, and the Jonin meeting lasts about three hours on average."

Kabuto Yakushi smiled gently and guessed, "There hasn't been anything major in the Hidden Leaf Village recently, so I estimate it won't last three hours."

"Itachi actually investigated even this?"

Shikamaru Nara's eyes widened and he asked.

"I didn't have anything to do yesterday."

Kabuto Yakushi said casually.

"Then let's schedule it for noon!"

Naruto Uzumaki clenched his fists as if he were about to participate in some battle and said, "We'll go to the barbecue restaurant early to prepare!"

"Hinata, did Itachi book a private room?"

Shikamaru Nara looked at Hinata Hyuga and asked.

"I've already booked the barbecue restaurant we went to with Teacher Kitazawa last time; no one will disturb us today."

Hinata Hyuga nodded and said softly.

"Ah?"

Shikamaru Nara and the others made sounds of surprise.

"Wha... what's wrong?"

Hinata Hyuga blinked and asked with some confusion.

"Itachi're really rich!"

Sakura Haruno said with envy.

"How did Itachi convince your dad to give Itachi so much money?"

Ino Yamanaka asked curiously.

"He gave it to me voluntarily."

Hinata Hyuga tilted her head and said, "I didn't ask him for it."

Tsunade was currently at the height of her power, just one step away from becoming the Fifth Hokage.

Kitazawa had a close relationship with her, so Hiashi Hyuga was very generous in investing in him.

"..."

Ino Yamanaka was speechless.

Same village, different dads, different treatment.

Her dad gave her money, but not that much.

"Who is going to call Teacher Kitazawa?"

Shino Aburame reminded them, "This task is the most arduous; we can't let Teacher Kitazawa discover the problem."

"I'll go."

Kabuto Yakushi volunteered.

"If Senior Kabuto handles it, there will definitely be no problem!"

Naruto Uzumaki immediately agreed.

He was still deeply impressed by how Kabuto Yakushi had used the Uchiha clan's reputation to teach that gift shop owner a lesson last time.

"Not bad."

Shikamaru Nara echoed.

Sasuke Uchiha, Neji Hyuga, and others also nodded in agreement.

"That's good."

Kabuto Yakushi clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, continue training."

Time arrived at eight o'clock.

Although it was Sunday, the Hokage Building was rarely lively because of the Jonin meeting.

"Is Tsunade not coming?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi said after hearing the report from the Anbu ninja Haru, "Forget it, it doesn't matter if she doesn't come."

Just then, another Anbu ninja walked in.

"Lord Hokage."

The Anbu ninja bowed slightly and said, "Lord Danzo will be here soon."

"What a nuisance."

Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately felt a headache.

"Hiruzen!"

Danzo Shimura's voice arrived before he did, "Why wasn't I notified of this Jonin meeting?"

"I didn't notify Itachi because I hoped Itachi could settle down and reorganize the Root."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a serious tone.

In reality, he didn't want to see Danzo Shimura and Tsunade clash again, so he didn't notify him.

"The reorganization of the Root is already complete."

Danzo Shimura was very dissatisfied and emphasized, "I am the Hokage's advisor and the leader of the Root; how can the Jonin meeting be without me?"

When he found out he wasn't notified of this Jonin meeting, his heart went cold.

Because in his view, this was a sign of him losing power.

"Since Itachi want to participate, then participate."
