"What I know, you don't need to care about." Kaoru was still saying it with a face that was full of composure, "To tell the truth, you're indeed doing your best for the Leaf Village, and you've even sacrificed yourself, and I can't learn from this loyalty at all, and the importance of the Leaf Village in your heart is even more important than your parents, and is only second to your younger brother, right....."
"You.....what do you mean?" A premonition of unease rose up in Itachi Uchiha's heart.
"What I mean is that you had abandoned Sasuke Uchiha back then, and you, who's his older brother, can't evade the blame if something happens to Sasuke Uchiha in the village." Kaoru looked at Itachi Uchiha with cold eyes, and said.
"You want to take action against Sasuke Uchiha?!" Itachi Uchiha could no longer remain calm when Sasuke Uchiha was mentioned, and he was clenching his fists tightly, and was looking at Kaoru fiercely, and the volcano in his heart could erupt at any time.
"As expected, and you'll become nervous when the safety of your younger brother is mentioned, and I had thought that you would always have that indifferent look."
Kaoru said with a smile, "But you can rest assured, and I'm also a person who's an older brother, and I naturally empathize with you, and I won't take action against Sasuke, but I won't, and it doesn't mean that the high-ranking members of the Leaf Village won't, and you're outside the village right now, and can't know the movements of the high-ranking members of the Leaf Village, and you'll be completely helpless if the high-ranking members of the Leaf Village take action against Sasuke."
Itachi Uchiha immediately understood Kaoru's meaning after hearing Kaoru's words, and he frowned his eyebrows and spoke and said: "It's impossible, and I have an agreement with Danzō, and as long as he dares....."
"As long as he dares to take action against Sasuke, then you'll make the truth of the Uchiha's extermination public, and will leak the Leaf Village's information to the other villages, right?"
Kaoru had taken the lead and said what he wanted to say without waiting for Itachi Uchiha to finish speaking.
"I didn't expect that you would even know this, and it seems that Madara Uchiha didn't tell you....." Itachi Uchiha said in a cold voice.
"You're threatening the high-ranking members of the Leaf Village with making the truth public, and you're one hundred percent certain that they'll listen to you? You don't have even a bit of a spy in the Leaf Village, and you'll probably still be in the Akatsuki organization stupidly, and you won't know anything even if they kill Sasuke Uchiha." Kaoru continued to say with a smile.
"....." Itachi Uchiha fell silent, and he had to admit that what Kaoru had said was indeed correct, and Sasuke Uchiha was the most important existence in his heart, and this kind of situation was also likely to happen.
"Then we should have a transaction." Kaoru continued to say, "I'm in charge of being the Anbu's squad leader in the Leaf Village right now, and I can help you protect Sasuke Uchiha, and prevent him from receiving any injuries in the Leaf Village, but....."
"What are your conditions?" Itachi Uchiha continued to ask.
"You should hand over all of the ninjutsu that you know to me." Kaoru said with a smile, "To be honest, and I'm not very skilled at genjutsu compared to you, and your Crow Clone and Clone Great Explosion are all good moves, and there's also forming hand seals with one hand, and I can guarantee that no one in the Leaf Village will be able to injure Sasuke Uchiha as long as you hand these ninjutsu over to me! How's that transaction, what do you think?"
"You want to learn my ninjutsu?" Itachi Uchiha frowned his eyebrows, "Your strength is already no less than mine, so what's the meaning of learning my ninjutsu?"
"No one will be satisfied with the status quo, and they only want to become more and more powerful, and therefore I won't let go of any ninjutsu that can make me more powerful." Kaoru said with a smile.
"....." Itachi Uchiha fell into deep thought after hearing Kaoru's words, and was it worth it or not to exchange all of his ninjutsu for a guarantee of his younger brother's life from Kaoru.......
"Itachi Uchiha, and you should think it over well, and which is more important, the Leaf Village or your younger brother's life." Kaoru continued to urge after seeing that Itachi Uchiha was hesitating.
"Alright, and I promise you!" Itachi Uchiha murmured in a low voice after a long time, and then he took out a scroll, and threw it towards Kaoru.
Kaoru also grabbed it in one go after seeing this.
"This is a scroll that has recorded all of my ninjutsu, and all of the other ninjutsu have been recorded other than the Mangekyō dōjutsu that you can't learn." Itachi Uchiha said, "And I hope that you can keep your promise."
"Of course, and I guarantee with my personality that Sasuke Uchiha won't have any danger to his life as long as he's staying in the Leaf Village for one day since you're willing to have a transaction with me." Kaoru raised the scroll in his hand, and said in a low voice.
The current Kaoru had a face that was full of composure, and he was completely bullying Itachi Uchiha for not knowing the situation in the future right now, and Kaoru was very clear that Sasuke Uchiha would defect from the village next year, and Sasuke wouldn't receive any injuries during this period of time that he was in the Leaf Village, and therefore this transaction was completely a free lunch, and he could completely let Sasuke defect from the village on his own, and it wouldn't be under Kaoru's control after he left the Leaf Village.
"Then what kind of thoughts do you have towards the Leaf Village exactly?" Itachi Uchiha was concerned about Kaoru's views on the Leaf Village again after handing the scroll over to Kaoru, and the Leaf Village was the second most important thing in Itachi's heart after all, and he was naturally somewhat uneasy about Kaoru since he had investigated that Kaoru had a transaction with Madara Uchiha.
He didn't want the Leaf Village, that he had protected by exterminating the Uchiha clan, to be destroyed in Kaoru's hands like that.
"The Leaf Village, huh.....you can rest assured, and I won't do anything to the village." Kaoru pondered slightly, and said, "I naturally don't have any reason to rebel against it as long as the people in the village don't hold hostility towards me, and I won't take action against this village even if I leave the Leaf Village, and I'm only planning to leave a way out for myself like that on Madara Uchiha's side that you're talking about."
"I see....." Itachi Uchiha's heart was only relieved somewhat after hearing Kaoru's words, and he had originally wanted to eliminate Kaoru on this trip, but it had transformed into having a transaction with him inexplicably in the end after he had realized Kaoru's strength.
The Leaf Village had also had a situation at the same time that Kaoru and Itachi Uchiha were talking, and the Third Hokage was perusing the documents as usual in the Hokage Building, and he had a pipe in his mouth, and the gentle wind outside the window messed up the faint light smoke within the pipe.
"Knock knock knock!" A knock on the door rang out, and the Third Hokage extracted his thoughts from within the documents after hearing the sound, and his pair of old eyes looked towards the door.
"Come in!"
"Lord Hokage, and I have something to report!" A Leaf Village ninja walked before the Third Hokage, and knelt on one knee.
"You should say it." The Third Hokage spat out two words lightly.
"A huge sound, that was like thunder, was emitted from the forest outside the Leaf Village not long ago, and the ninjas, who were on duty at the Leaf Village's gate, heard it very clearly." That Leaf Village ninja reported.
"A thunder-like sound....." A look of contemplation appeared in the Third Hokage's eyes, "Could it be that there are ninjas who are battling, and the troublemaker's strength must be not weak since it's such a huge sound."
The Third Hokage put down the pipe in his hand after thinking up to this point, and gave an order in a low voice: "If that's the case, then you should send out three Anbu to go to the location where the incident happened and check the situation, and someone should come!"
"Here!" A cold voice rang out from outside the door, and an Anbu ninja, who was wearing a mask, walked into the room, and it was precisely Yūgao Uzuki.
"Hmm, and where's Kaoru?" The Third Hokage raised his eyebrows slightly after seeing that the Anbu ninja, who had come to the room, wasn't Kaoru.
"He's gone back to rest." Yūgao Uzuki answered.
"That's right, and he just returned from carrying out a mission, and he does need to rest." The Third Hokage nodded his head, and then looked at Yūgao Uzuki: "You should lead two Anbu ninjas to go check what the loud sound in the forest before the village is about now, and you should capture the ninjas of other villages immediately if you encounter them!"
"Yes!" Yūgao Uzuki nodded her head, and used the Body Flicker Technique and disappeared in place.
"What kind of situation could it be....." The Third Hokage thought while frowning his eyebrows,
"Excuse me, Lord Hokage!" A voice was transmitted into the Third Hokage's ears again at this time, and another ninja walked into the room.
"It turns out it's Iruka....." The Third Hokage saw Iruka's dark face after raising his head, "You should be teaching at the Ninja Academy at this time, right?"
"That's what it should be, Lord Hokage, and I've come to disturb you precisely for this matter." Iruka scratched the back of his head embarrassedly and said.
"What's wrong?" The Third Hokage asked while straightening his somewhat stiff body on the chair.
"It's like this, and today was originally the time to impart the genjutsu class to the students of that class of mine at the Ninja Academy, but the genjutsu teaching teacher, who had been scheduled originally, has fallen ill, and I'm also not skilled at genjutsu, and therefore I wanted to request Lord Hokage to be able to draw out a ninja who's skilled at genjutsu, and he doesn't need to be too powerful, and a Chūnin will do."
"I see, sigh....." The Third Hokage shook his head with a smile, and he was actually having to find him for this kind of small matter, and this Hokage of his was truly doing everything personally, but he would naturally help with this favor since Iruka had already said it like that.
But he had to think about who it should be since it was a genjutsu class..... A smile appeared on the Third Hokage's face after thinking up to this point, and then spoke: "If that's the case, then I'll find him to be a teacher once."
"I wonder who he is in Lord Hokage's mouth ah?" Iruka asked immediately after seeing a smile appear on the Third Hokage's face.
"Your former student." The Third Hokage chuckled lightly, and stroked his forehead lightly again: "Kaoru should be at home right now......."
