I defected before Genocide Night

Konoha.

After visiting Naruto, Jiraiya and Kakashi walked out of the hospital and headed to the Uchiha clan together.

They were looking for Uchiha Itachi and asked some questions.

When they came to the Uchiha clan's territory, they felt inexplicably unnatural.

Many members of the Uchiha clan were standing by the road, paying attention to them.

Due to the repressive atmosphere in the Uchiha clan, few other people come here.

"It's Jiraiya among the three ninjas!"

"The guy with the silver broom head is a disciple of the fourth generation, Kakashi who has been transplanted with Sharingan."

Some older ninjas recognized the identities of Jiraiya and the two.

"What are they doing here?" A small number of Uchiha clan members began to worry, worried that the village had unscrupulous intentions and was planning some conspiracy.

Although they have stopped preparing ninja tools recently, Uchiha was indeed preparing for rebellion before.

Faced with these suspicious and wary looks, Kakashi narrowed his eyes, smiled and stretched out his hand to say hello: "We are here to find Itachi!"

"Itachi's home is over there!" Someone from the Uchiha clan pointed in a certain direction.

"Thank you!" Kakashi and Jiraiya walked in that direction.

On the way, Jiraiya turned around and said with emotion: "The Uchiha clan is quite wary of us!"

"Compared to before, it's much better now." Kakashi thought of the looks he received when he came to Nanga Shrine to worship some time ago.

It was a look of fear, even with strong malice and rejection.

"They seem to have changed a lot since Taki defected." Kakashi sighed with his hands in his trouser pockets.

"Taki?" Jiraiya was stunned for a moment, and then he came back to his senses and understood that the person Kakashi was talking about was Uchiha Taki.

Regarding Taki's defection, he also heard different answers from different people in the village.

"Defection?"

Recalling the Uchiha Taki he had seen, Jiraiya shook his head. He did not think that the guy who was willing to antagonize Orochimaru in order to protect his disciples would be the kind of careerist who would abandon everything for power.

Seeing Jiraiya deep in thought, Kakashi sighed and mentioned what Taki said on the night of his defection: "He coveted the eyes of his tribe, and for this, he even framed the Uchiha clan."

If Taki had not interfered, Yondaime would not have died that night during the Nine-Tails Rebellion.

There will not be as many gaps and misunderstandings between Konoha and Uchiha as there are now.

At this time, the Uchiha clan's chatter came from the side.

"That guy Uchiha Taki, when I find him, I must teach him a lesson."

"Send him to prison and let him spend the rest of his life repenting for this."

"It's better to give him a beating first!"

The Uchiha clan, who are not very smart, really regard Taki as the real culprit who framed them.

Jiraiya touched his chin, thinking about Taki's real intention of doing that.

"Taki is a well-deserved sinner, although he did reveal a lot of important information to us."

Amid Kakashi's indifferent assertion, they arrived at Itachi's house.

Itachi was having lunch with his family. When he heard a knock on the door, he got up and walked out.

"Jiraiya-sama?"

At first, Itachi was a little shocked when he saw Jiraiya, but then, Kakashi raised his hand to greet him, and Itachi understood Jiraiya's intention of coming to him.

"You want to know about Taki, right?"

After turning back to his parents and Sasuke in the house, Itachi quickly changed his shoes and went out with Jiraiya.

When he came to the secluded lakeside, he told the truth exactly what he had learned from Taki.

Finally, Itachi said seriously, "I have reported all this information to Hokage-sama."

Kakashi suddenly said: "Taki also mentioned it to me before he defected. He said that Obito was still alive."

Itachi glanced at him calmly and reminded him: "Almost all the information Taki revealed before came true. And in his words, Uchiha Obito was also among the people who killed the Yondaime couple."

"But Obito is dead. Even if he is still alive, he will never harm the village, let alone the teacher." Kakashi said firmly.

Itachi fell silent, not wanting to argue with Kakashi.

Jiraiya rubbed his chin and thought for a while, then glanced at Itachi, "Taki said these fragments were what he saw with his eyes. Could it be that he could see these things through his Sharingan?"

Itachi shook his head: "The Sharingan does not have this ability..."

Before he finished speaking, he seemed to remember something again and immediately rejected his previous words: "No, if he awakens those forbidden eyes, it may be possible to see the future."

"But Taki only has two Magatama Sharingan." Kakashi put his hand on his left eye.

"Could the double Magatama Sharingan be just his disguise?" Jiraiya lowered his head and pondered, wondering: "Maybe he has already opened the Mangekyo Sharingan, but he has been hiding it from everyone."

Itachi couldn't answer Jiraiya's question because even he couldn't figure out whether Taki had awakened the Mangekyo.

"If Jiraiya-sama wants to know more, why don't you go to him?" Itachi looked at Jiraiya.

He told Jiraiya the location where he last saw Taki and asked Jiraiya to follow that location.

But Jiraiya shook his head: "Taki is gone."

Before heading to Amegakure Village, he made an agreement with Taki, asking Taki to wait for him in the Country of Whirlpool.

After escaping from the battle with Pain, Jiraiya immediately went to the Kingdom of Whirlpool to find Taki.

But there was no trace of Taki.

Judging from the traces left at the scene, he probably started fighting with Orochimaru again.

Jiraiya was not in a good condition at this time and was not suitable to take the initiative to cause trouble for Orochimaru.

So he had no choice but to come to Konoha first and ask Itachi for information about Taki.

"Jiraiya-sama cares so much about Taki. Do you have any important information you want to get from him?"

Itachi also got a rough idea of ​​Jiraiya's previous trip to Amegakure Village to inquire about information through the Third Generation.

Now, Jiraiya is eager to find Taki as soon as he comes back from gathering information, which shows that he has encountered something very troublesome.

Itachi always paid attention to matters related to the village.

Remembering that the Third Generation had said that Uchiha Itachi could be trusted, Jiraiya did not hide it from him: "I originally wanted to wait until tomorrow to discuss this matter with the old man."

"Hanzo from the Hidden Rain Village is indeed dead, and the bodies of the ninjas sent by Konoha to the Country of Rain to gather information were also destroyed."

"Didn't Uchiha Taki say that the Sage's Eye wants to capture tailed beasts? I don't understand why Yahiko and Konan want to collect tailed beasts."

After Jiraiya finished speaking, he sighed with a heavy heart.

Kakashi covered his left eye, feeling the trembling of his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Taki said that Obito was not dead, and he also blamed Obito for the teacher's death. I must find him and ask him."

Recently, Kakashi has applied for a leave of absence from the Third Generation for several months, and he wants to leave the village to look for Taki.

However, Sandai saw that there were fewer and fewer ninjas in the village, the existence of the Immortal Eye was another hidden danger, and the safety of the village had become a vital issue, so he did not agree to his request to leave the village.

"Speaking of which, before Taki defected, he often submitted his resignation to Hokage-sama and planned to go out."

Itachi showed a rare smile.

As the conflicts between the village and Uchiha found someone to vent to, the relationship between the two parties gradually became harmonious.

The huge stone in his heart was put down.
