Chapter 71: Chapter 71: Father! How Did You Know I Saw Qingchuan!
Itachi's path to Anbu was led in by Danzo.
Root and Anbu were originally one and the same, after the Second Ninja World War, because Hiruzen Sarutobi did not fulfill his policy towards the Uchiha.
Danzo then formed Root, under the guise of Anbu reserve forces, bearing the darkness of Konoha.
Danzo's selection criteria had a set of fixed rules...
Talent and strength might be indispensable.
But what Danzo needed was only faith.
Only when the darkness from the personality was recognized by Danzo could it meet Danzo's selection criteria.
If not.
Even if Kai wanted to join Anbu after becoming a Jōnin, Danzo rejected him after the Third Hokage refused.
The reason was that Kai's darkness was not enough...
The several Root members blocked by Qingchuan looked at each other.
But strangely, the few people did not entangle too much.
They just glared fiercely at the girl who could be called a mission nail household, and then left in despair...
This made Qingchuan a little surprised.
How could the Root, which was supreme in its mission, suddenly give up the mission?
This also made Itachi a little confused next to him...
As expected of you, Qingchuan!
Even if it wasn't the Third Hokage's Anbu, it was also the subordinate of the Konoha Elder!
Sure enough.
Qingchuan, who directly showed the sword at the slightest disagreement, never changed.
Qingchuan was still that Qingchuan...
"Itachi-kun... you have to be careful when you encounter these guys in the future."
Sheathing her sword, Qingchuan didn't forget to tell him a few words.
"Otherwise, it's easy to be abducted."
Qingchuan's expression was especially serious.
There was no way.
Root had already set its sights on Itachi, and it would definitely not give up.
It was good to drag it out for a while...
"I know, Qingchuan."
Itachi replied seriously.
Although there were countless questions in his heart.
But Qingchuan's words could always be trusted.
What bad intentions could this quiet and straightforward girl have?
....
Dinner time.
Fugaku, who rarely returned early, noticed his son's abnormality while eating.
His brows occasionally furrowed and occasionally relaxed, obviously a little absent-minded about dinner.
"Itachi, what are you thinking about.~?"
"Doesn't your mother's meal suit your taste?"
In the most serious tone, Fugaku asked with a joke.
As a father, his words and deeds should be as steady as a mountain.
But for his son who was too excellent, Fugaku couldn't help but be satisfied in his heart...
Especially after Itachi officially passed the Chūnin Exams.
Fugaku's mood these two days was unspeakably pleasant...
Which family wouldn't be happy with a promising son?
Mikoto next to him immediately rolled her eyes.
And Itachi was also a smart one who came back to his senses, without inheriting his father's humorous cells, he quickly apologized seriously.
"No, the meal made by mother is very delicious, I'm just... thinking about something."
Itachi said honestly.
"Did you meet Qingchuan today? How has Qingchuan been lately?"
Fugaku, who saw through everything, asked directly.
"She seems to be doing well, she has become taller and more beautiful, and she seems to be very strong... uh?"
Itachi, who answered his father's question reflexively, suddenly realized that something was wrong.
His little face was a little flushed, and his eyes looked at his father in disbelief.
"Father-sama... how did you know I saw Qingchuan?"
Obviously, his father's great powers still exceeded Itachi's imagination.
His father's eyes always seemed to be able to see everything...
"Don't forget what my job is."
"If it hadn't been for the Anbu following, the Konoha Police Force would have stopped you long ago."
Fugaku's face was a little smug.
But at this age, it looked like a mysterious and unpredictable look.
Looking at his son's increasingly shocked face, Fugaku, as a father, was very satisfied...
Itachi was indeed a little surprised in his heart.
The Konoha Police Force under his father's jurisdiction was so powerful.
It was also true.
It seemed that no matter what big or small things happened in the village, the Konoha Police Force could arrive in the first place.
It was just that this kind of thing happened too frequently, always making people easily overlook it.
Even... somewhat resisted it.
Alas.
The village and the Uchiha...
Thinking about it, Itachi's face gradually became worried.
Those few Root members who suddenly came but were directly driven away by Qingchuan reappeared in his mind.
He was also struggling now...
There were some questions that he was too embarrassed to ask Qingchuan directly.
Perhaps, asking for his father's advice was also a good choice?
Stealing a glance at his father, Itachi gradually strengthened the thoughts in his heart.
"Dad... that, today an elder sent someone to find me."
"He said to let me go to Root when I have time."
Hesitating for a moment, Itachi still didn't mention Qingchuan's dragging the sword and driving the people away.
"I haven't answered yet, I want to hear father's opinion."
Fugaku's eating action gradually stopped.
He looked directly at his son.
After a moment, the joy in his eyes could not be concealed!
"Root?!"
.....
At the same time, on the other side.
Hokage office.
As Hiruzen Sarutobi's old partner, Danzo Shimura knew that the more it was this time after work, the more likely this old partner would be in the office.
And Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't let him down.
He was sitting at his desk, wearing reading glasses and correcting his documents.
"Sarutobi, there's something I want to tell you."
Danzo's solitary eye drooped slightly, but he also looked directly at his old friend's eyes.
"I... plan to recommend a candidate for Anbu."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's movement stopped suddenly, and he raised his head, looking at his old friend somewhat suspiciously.
"Who?"
"Uchiha Itachi, that Uchiha clan member who just passed the Chūnin Exams."
Danzo Shimura replied.
"Although he is a bit young, he can already handle the work of Anbu."
"Of course, this is just my recommendation, you can choose to ignore it... but in that case, my Root will also absorb him."
"You, consider it."
After Danzo finished speaking.
Not caring about the old friend's gradually frowning face, he directly turned and left.
In the office.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was a little unable to react to this operation for a while...
"Danzo..."
"What are you planning to do again?".
