Naruto Shadow Mage

 “Itachi, are you awake?”

 At dusk, in a cave in the Kingdom of Fire.

The Fourth Hokage's special instructions were basically completed successfully, but when Cross Country was carrying Lin on his back and carrying Itachi, even though he was blessed with the secret "acceleration" technique passed down by the Fourth Hokage, he still wanted to spend a day. Just returning to Konoha Village is nothing more than a dream.

 So, in the evening, for fear of an accident, I took the unconscious Lin and Itachi to rest in a secret cave on the way.

It happened to be that not long after Cross Country had rested, the strange movements on the unconscious Weasel God’s body suddenly attracted Cross Country’s attention, and that’s when the question came up before Cross Country.

However, when Cross Country looked at the Weasel God in front of him who was always on guard, and even after hearing his own words, he did not open his eyes immediately, but used his body to sense the surrounding situation, a wry smile appeared on Cross Country's face. On the face.

 Obviously, it was because of God Weasel's vigilance that he knew that there were some things that he had to explain to God Weasel.

 Otherwise, Itachi's intelligence would most likely turn out to be difficult, and he would be unable to explain to him why he was knocked unconscious during a confrontation with the Mist Ninja.

 Sure enough, it’s just like what I thought it would be when going off-road.

Use your body to sense the surrounding situation, and when you realize that there is nothing abnormal, God Itachi just stares at the cross-country, and the cross-country is very embarrassing.

However, what happened next made the cross-country a bit unexpected.

 Originally I thought that Itachi God’s intelligence might turn out to be difficult.

Who would have thought that when God Weasel just woke up and found that the surrounding situation was very safe, Cross Country saw a look of relief on God Weasel's immature face. Then, when God Itachi took a breath of relief, he turned to look at Lin, who was unconscious there, and said, "Jiujiu, you don't have to explain anything to me, I know what you want to do. protect me."

“So, I owe you a favor!”

"oh?"

 The words of God Itachi undoubtedly surprised Cross Country.

After being surprised, Cross Country's smiling eyes fell on Itachi God and asked: "How do you know it was me who saved you? Itachi, don't forget that I have some issues with your Uchiha clan. Maybe I wanted to harm you, but I didn’t succeed.”

"childish!"

Originally, I thought that my words could scare the Itachi God a little.

But what made Cross Country feel deeply depressed was that as soon as he finished speaking, God Weasel snorted with disdain and said: "Qiu Cross Country, if you wanted to harm me, I would have died long ago. Look at it now, except Except for Teacher Lin and me, everyone else should be dead, right? So, there’s no need for boring tests, just talk about what we should do next.”

 “If you need my help, just let me know.”

 “If it is not necessary.”

 “Sorry, I have to practice!”

 After saying that, God Itachi looked at Cross Country with a sincere face, and Cross Country shook his head at God Itachi, indicating that he didn't need help.

After that, God Itachi found that he didn't need help for off-roading, as he said, so he started practicing chakra on the spot.

And looking at the Weasel God who was practicing there, the faint smile on his face became a little stronger!

 "Itachi God! Itachi God! You are such a monster!"

“I guess if I didn’t have the help of the APP, even if I successfully became a disciple of Minato-sensei, and even if I was familiar with the plot of the original novel, my future achievements would probably be lower than yours, right?”

“After all, there aren’t many monsters like you in the original plot!”

“Unfortunately, in the future, your Uchiha clan will suffer an unexpected disaster. You will only have a few years to grow up!”

“A few years from now, what decision should you make?”

“The Battle of the Nine-Tails is right in front of us. If I say anything more to you, I may become the object of suspicion in the future.”

"so."

"Itachi God, after the Nine-Tails War is over, I will have a good talk with you and Shisui!"

With a silent sigh, Cross Country took a deep breath, and also sat aside and began to practice chakra, as well as the Uzumaki clan's spiritual arts.

Just as Cross Country thought, the Nine-Tails War was imminent, and his energy was limited, so he must deal with the Nine-Tails War that happened first.

  But one thing is for sure!

 That is, with Cross Country around, he must try his best to prevent the tragedy of the Uchiha clan from happening.

Especially after coming into contact with Uchiha Shisui and visiting the Uchiha clan to see the conditions inside, Shisui didn't want those innocent Uchiha clan members to die tragically for no reason in their beloved Konoha Village.

However, just when Cross Country had just recovered his chakra, thinking that no one would come to disturb him tonight, and preparing to practice the Uzumaki Clan's spiritual arts, suddenly there was another strange movement in the sense of wind, and Cross Country subconsciously glanced at the coma. Lin Zhong glanced at it, then patted Itachi God on the shoulder and whispered:

 “Weasel, there’s a situation.”

 “This time, I’m afraid I need your help!”

"good!"

 Hearing what Cross Country said, God Weasel hurriedly stopped practicing.

Soon, under the vigilance of Cross Country and Weasel God, they quietly took Lin and hid in this cave, silently waiting for the subsequent test.

 At the same time, in a secret room in Konoha Village.

 Dark lighting is an environment that Shimura Danzo likes very much.

As long as he doesn't need to go to the Hokage's office, Shimura Danzo likes to deal with important things in this secret room at home in a dark environment.

At this time, looking at the ANBU half-kneeling in front of him, Danzo Shimura had a faint smile on his face.

“Minato, you are so immature!”

“My old friend Hiruzen finally took away part of the ANBU rights from me. You returned the ANBU rights to me just for a little Lin. What a waste of Hiruzen’s hard work!”

 “That’s okay. That’s okay!”

“It’s just a three-tailed Jinchuuriki, but it’s enough to be able to obtain so many benefits from three parties!”

"Those two guys must have started fighting over the Three-Tailed Jinchuuririn, right?"

 “It’s just a pity that a good ANBU talent was lost!”

 “Nara Cross Country, I hope you can come back alive!”

Muttered to himself, Shimura Danzo slowly put away the smile on his face, and then ordered the ANBU in front of him in an indifferent tone:

"Put this information scroll passed by the Mist Ninja on the desk of the Fourth Hokage."

　　"Let the Fourth Hokage deal with these matters as late as possible, so as not to reveal the truth."

 “Yes, Lord Danzo!”

 After receiving Danzo Shimura's order, the ANBU quickly disappeared into this dark secret room.

 On the contrary, it’s off-road!

If he could know that the cooperation between the Fourth Hokage and Danzo Shimura was really about seeking skin from a tiger, he would definitely have ridiculed the Fourth Hokage!

 That’s right!

 The Fourth Hokage's planning was very good, and he was even better at completing those special instructions when completing the cross-country!

Now, both Sanwei Iso and Lin are under the control of the cross-country. As long as the cross-country can successfully return to Konoha Village, the Fourth Hokage will be considered a complete victory.

 But, what a pity!

 The key to the Fourth Hokage's victory is the "Infernal Affairs" played by the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish!

 But how could the Fourth Hokage imagine that there were not just one but two so-called "Infernal Affairs"?

Siguashan Puffer Demon is playing "Infernal Affairs", and Shimura Danzo, who collaborates with the Fourth Hokage, is also playing "Infernal Affairs"!

 Just like Shimura Danzo said, his "Infernal Affairs" is to swing between three parties and obtain benefits from the three parties!

Moreover, when Shimura Danzo was in the Leaf Village and continued to play "Infernal Affairs" with the Fourth Hokage with great interest, Shimura Danzo's other two "Infernal Affairs" targets were surprisingly waiting for others in the cross-country. In front of you, the mysterious veil is gradually unveiled!

"Um?"

 “Two completely different breaths?”

“How many forces exist within the Country of Fire?”

 "Shisui! Kakashi! Are all of you ANBU just doing nothing? The Land of Fire."

“The Country of Fire has almost become someone else’s back garden!”
