Chapter 154: The Confrontation at Versailles (Part 1)

Minato Namikaze used continuous Flying Thunder God Technique to quietly return to Konoha Village.

After returning home, he looked at Naruto and Iori who was taking care of Naruto, and then hurried to the Hokage Building. After being away from work for many days, there was obviously a lot of accumulated official business.

Even if Nara Shikaku could help share the burden, some special matters could not be overstepped, and he had to do it himself.

After changing back into his usual ninja outfit, he locked the coordinates of the Flying Thunder God mark left in the office. The picture turned, and the field of vision turned to the familiar interior layout.

But what he didn't expect was that he had just arrived, and there was already a figure in the office.

"... Is it Hokage?!"

Sensing that there was something unusual at the desk behind him, the figure who was busy sorting the file rack immediately turned around.

Apart from Minato Namikaze, who is the Hokage, who spends the longest time in the Hokage's office in Konoha? It's hard to say during the Sarutobi Hiruzen period, but since the arrival of the new Minato Namikaze, it must be Shikaku Nara, who has been exploited the most...

So the person in front of him is of course him.

When Shikaku Nara saw Minato Namikaze appear, he seemed to be relieved and relieved. Then he changed his tone and complained with a smile: "You are finally back. If you don't come back, I can't stand it..."

Hearing this, Minato Namikaze touched the back of his head awkwardly and could only smile bitterly.

"...Thank you for your hard work, Captain Shikaku."

Glancing at the piles of documents and scrolls on his desk, Minato Namikaze did not start working immediately, but turned to ask seriously: "By the way, how is the captive of Kumogakure, the two-tailed Jinchuriki Yukito now?"

Nara Shikaku did not expect that the first thing Minato Namikaze cared about after returning was this, but he immediately reported: "He is still detained in the underground secret room specially set up by the Anbu. The interrogation of the Intelligence Department has been completed."

"It is true that we have obtained some important confidential information from Kumogakure. Do you want to take a look now?"

"No need." Minato Namikaze did not seem to care much. After listening, he walked directly to the door and said: "Take me to see it. In addition, notify several senior executives to hold an important meeting in the evening."

"Also, for the leader of the Root, Danzo, please be sure to ask him to attend..."

After that, he went out first.

Nara Shikaku only felt that Minato Namikaze's tone was flat, but there was something else in it.

Because although Danzo was deposed as the Hokage's assistant and intelligence minister before, he was still one of the top leaders in charge of the Root. Even if he didn't need to be specifically reminded, he would not be absent...

So the last reminder sounded a bit unnecessary.

Is it to settle the score later? But hasn't Danzo already been demoted? After thinking for a long time, he couldn't guess anything. When Nara Shikaku came to his senses, he found that Namikaze Minato had walked a long way, so he had to chase him...

In Konoha Village.

The streets have long returned to their former bustle and crowds.

The vendors, tourists, pedestrians, and villagers have also returned to their original peaceful life mode early, as if the incident of the Cloud Hidden Raid Force invading the village a few days ago had never happened...

In fact, except for a few buildings that are about to be completed at the entrance of the village, it is indeed difficult to find any traces of the village being destroyed.

In the Ninja School, today is the second day that students have resumed normal classes.

In a class in the lower grades, the bell rang, and the teacher of the Ninjutsu Theory course just walked out of the class, and the students couldn't wait to make noise.

At this time, near a row of seats in the class, a strange phenomenon formed in a short while...

"Ahhh, Itachi is so handsome today..."

"Yes, yes, it seems to be looking over here!!"

A large number of girls gathered from a distance, and countless crazy eyes were cast on the Uchiha boy who was perfect and excellent in all aspects.

"It's really annoying, this guy from the Uchiha clan"

"That's right, he is obviously a child, but he pretends to be an adult all day long. Isn't it just because of good grades?"

The boys were jealous and showed a hateful look.

After all, Uchiha Itachi is the first in his age, which is really abnormal. In every class of the Ninja School over the years, there are often geniuses from the Uchiha clan, but Uchiha Itachi, a boy, is obviously a perverted guy in the eyes of others even among geniuses.

This can be seen from the first day of his enrollment, when he completely surpassed his peers in all aspects, and even performed as well as adults.

Sitting in his seat, Uchiha Itachi seemed to be unaware of the strange looks from all the classmates around him.

If the Uchiha clan generally has a kind of arrogance, then it is different from the arrogance of other clansmen. Uchiha Itachi's arrogance belongs to the type of aloof arrogance.

He has an adult mindset at the age of 6, and behaves as mature as an undisguised time traveler.

After all, while children of the same age are playing kicking cans, he is thinking about the meaning of life. While children of the same age were playing ninja games, he had already learned real ninjutsu, and he had even witnessed the bloody scenes on the battlefield...

Because of the above, Itachi certainly didn't have any friends, let alone close friends, and he didn't even have a peer worth actively interacting with.

However, this situation continued until a new student came to the class not long ago and became his deskmate...

"Are you watching the third-year course today?"

Amid the surprised eyes of others, Uchiha Itachi turned around and chatted with his deskmate.

The friendly smile he showed at this time surprised almost all the classmates, because no one had seen a lone genius like Uchiha Itachi take the initiative to chat with others, and still with such a smiling look.

Next to his seat, the boy with white hair and glasses who was sitting at the same table with him was originally holding a book and quietly flipping through it.

However, after hearing Itachi's conversation, his expression first showed a slight awkwardness, as if he was a little hesitant, but in the end, he chose to remain silent and did not want to pay attention to Itachi's intention to chat.

His attention quickly turned back to the book in his hand...

No one expected that the aloof genius' initiative to strike up a conversation would be met with such indifference. Such an interesting scene made the boys watching secretly happy, while the girls talked and accused his deskmate of being ungrateful.

But Uchiha Itachi didn't care after being humiliated.

Still said kindly: "If you don't understand anything, you can always come to me.

I have learned all the courses of the whole grade of the Ninja School before entering the school..."

If it were a first-year Ninja School student, saying such words would definitely be regarded as arrogant boasting, but if the person saying it was Uchiha Itachi, then it would have a certain degree of credibility.

But these words are indeed too shocking.

You have already completed all the courses before entering the school? Then why did you come to school? If Itachi had to answer this question, his answer would probably be that his family asked him to go through the formalities, after all, graduation certificates cannot be made privately...

Yakushi Kabuto probably felt that Uchiha Itachi's concern was sincere, and finally gave a shy response after hesitating for a while.

"Thank you, no need..."
