I defected before Genocide Night

"Brother, where are you going?"

After just returning home to rest for a few days, Itachi started preparing his ninja tools again and was ready to go.

"I clearly agreed that you will practice throwing with me these days!" Sasuke blocked the door very dissatisfied.

"I'm sorry, Sasuke, I have to carry out the ANBU's mission!"

Itachi smiled bitterly, stretched out his finger, and poked Sasuke's forehead: "Next time!"

"Ouch——"

Sasuke was in pain, curled his lips and covered his forehead, dodging to the side.

"I am leaving."

After confirming that the ninja tools were packed away, Itachi put on his shoes and quickly left the house.

"Really, brother always thinks I'm still a child." After complaining, Sasuke rolled his eyes: "I want to see what kind of mission you are performing."

He followed quietly.

Noticing the tail behind him, Itachi smiled helplessly.

In order to get rid of Sasuke, he jumped on the roof.

Sasuke followed with difficulty.

He originally wanted to follow secretly, but Itachi's teleportation technique was too fast, and he disappeared before his eyes without paying attention.

On the roof, Sasuke couldn't see his brother's figure and couldn't help but squat down in frustration.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of blurry black figures hurriedly going back and forth in the corners of the village.

Not surprisingly, his brother is also one of these dark shadows.

"What are they doing?"

Anbu's arrangements were not something that a brat like him could see through, but through those hurried figures, Sasuke could tell that those people seemed to be performing some urgent mission.

…

call out!

When Uchiha Itachi landed, it happened to be the time when ANBU members assigned specific tasks.

"Itachi, you came just in time. Kazuto, who has the Byakugan, is missing. You have the Sharingan. Please pay attention to whether there are any omissions or errors in the details of the sealing ceremony."

"You must move quickly and recheck the sealing formula over there to make sure there are no mistakes."

In view of the complicated situation encountered by the previous Kyuubi Jinchuuriki during childbirth, Konoha spent a lot of manpower and material resources on arranging the sealing style this time.

The location they chose was among the woods next to Konoha.

A huge basement has been developed here.

The area around the basement was blocked off by walls made of wood by the Wooden Ninjas.

"Tianzang, thank you for your hard work!"

"Complete this half-month's work before tomorrow, completely surround this place with wooden escape, and then arrange sealing spells on it, and we can control people who enter the basement at any time."

An ANBU ninja patted the shoulder of his colleague who was squatting on the ground and panting.

"Haha! One day... you made it easy." He laughed dryly, and the ANBU ninja named Tenzo rolled his eyes.

But the only person in Konoha who can use Wood Release currently is him, the child who successfully survived the transplant experiment.

"Huh? Kakashi is here."

Next to him, a famous ANBU exclaimed.

The fact that Kakashi killed his companions in order to complete the mission has long been spread throughout Konoha's ANBU.

Many people are unwilling to form a team with him, and the third generation now has the intention of shelving him to lead the graduates of the ninja school.

If Taki hadn't defected and told about the Rinnegan, Kakashi would no longer be an ANBU member.

Tenzo, who was breathing heavily, immediately jumped up from the ground in high spirits when he heard the news of Kakashi's arrival.

"Kakashi-senpai!" He walked over, put his palm on Kakashi's shoulder, and looked at Kakashi with a weak look on his face: "I'm so tired, can you take my place?"

Kakashi slapped his hand away: "Stop joking, I don't have wood release ninjutsu."

If he could really learn Wood Release, Kakashi wouldn't mind preparing it on Tenzo's behalf.

He must catch Taki and the mastermind behind it.

The third generation specifically confessed that the man behind the scenes might really be the same as Taki said, the deceased Uchiha Obito.

Kakashi didn't believe it, but he had doubts in his heart.

If Taki can be caught, everything will come to light.

Seeing his solemn expression, Tenzo understood that this matter was of great significance to Kakashi.

"Don't worry, senior, I will try my best to catch them all." He mustered up his energy and began to strengthen the remaining wooden escape according to the process.

When the ceremony started, Uchiha Taki and the mastermind behind the scenes went into the basement, and he put a letter on top to capture the people inside.

"I hope it can be successful this time!"

Watching Tenzo diligently using Wood Release, Kakashi rested against a tree trunk in frustration.

…

"Don't you have to help arrange the seal, Jiraiya?"

In the tavern, Tsunade sat with a majestic posture and kept pouring wine into her mouth.

She wiped her mouth, glanced at Jiraiya next to her, and said sarcastically: "Speaking of which, the current Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki seems to have something to do with you!"

"That's Minato and Kushina's child!"

After a moment of silence, Jiraiya also picked up the wine glass.

Like the Third Generation, he now doesn't know how to see Naruto.

Returning to Konoha from the Tinno Country Sound Ninja Village, as soon as he heard about Konoha's plan to replace the Jinchuuriki, he immediately broke into the conference room of the Hokage Building.

Although the third generation specifically stated that it was just a way to bring out Uchiha Taki and the mastermind behind it.

But Jiraiya felt a little uneasy inside.

But during this period of time, he searched all over Konoha and could not find Uchiha Taki or the mastermind behind the scenes. He could only watch the date for the start of the ceremony approaching.

Glancing at his restless posture, Tsunade smiled contemptuously and said, "You can't even protect Minato's children. You are such a useless master!"

"Who says it isn't!"

Jiraiya laughed at himself, raised the cup and poured wine into his mouth.

After drinking enough, he put down his wine glass with emotion in his eyes: "I was not there when Nagato and the others were in danger, and I was not present that night when Minato and Kushina had an accident. This time, even Naruto

Also...hehe!"

"Forget it, I'm probably just an old man who has accomplished nothing."

Jiraiya said to himself.

Tsunade was deeply touched.

She broke the cup angrily and said, "Which bastard pretended to be a broken and rope tree and caused trouble everywhere, causing me to return to such a sad place."

"I'm leaving!" she said, wanting to stand up and leave the tavern.

"Wait a minute, you haven't paid for the drink yet!" Jiraiya grabbed her and pointed to the glass on the ground: "There's still money for this glass."

Tsunade was silent for a moment and sat back down.

"It's not just about the drink money. You've been paying so close attention to me these days. Aren't you just afraid that something will happen to that nine-tailed brat?"

She choked, took a new cup filled with wine, and drank one cup after another.

"Before the old man's plan is over, you should stay in the village!" Seeing Tsunade expose his thoughts, Jiraiya smiled.

Tsunade snorted coldly: "If I were you, I would immediately run to the Hokage Rock and take Uzumaki Naruto away and leave this place completely."

"Everyone has something they care about. Didn't you also return to Konoha?"

Jiraiya shook his head and smiled.

Hearing him mention this matter, Tsunade's anger that had just calmed down surged up again.

The veins on her arm bulged, and she punched a big hole in the wall: "Who knows what kind of evil ghost actually used the ghost of a broken rope tree to scare people? Now there are all rumors outside that Konoha is haunted."
