Ethan was not an acting expert at first, and he had hidden himself well for so many years. One of the important reasons is that he has always kept himself out of the plot.

When he began to truly interact with these characters, it was only a matter of time before he exposed his nature. It was already a miracle that he could endure it for so long.

In other words, he had already exposed a lot of things, but the people in Konoha Village used to look at him from the previous perspective and had not yet realized this.

Tsunade, who came back from outside, was directly exposed to Ethan's true personality, so she knew that Ethan was not an honest person.

In order to avoid Ethan staying to cause trouble, Tsunade directly asked him to go out of the village, but he didn't expect Ethan to choose Kakashi and Uchiha Sasuke to team up with him to carry out this mission.

"Take Sasuke to search Orochimaru's nest... Only that kid can do such a thing."

Jiraiya sat on the windowsill of Naruto's office and looked at the direction of the gate of Konoha Village in the distance.

Just today, Ethan, Kakashi and Uchiha Sasuke have taken the task and left the village. At the same time, he also greeted Naruto Uzumaki. After Naruto packed up his things, they both would leave Konoha.

"What I didn't expect was that you would agree."

"It may be safer to stay with him than staying in the village."

“…”

Both of them had personally experienced Ethan's strength and knew that this kid's strength was very terrifying... No, maybe he didn't use all his strength that day, and it was impossible to imagine what level this kid's true strength reached.

"But this kind of strength is probably no longer something that a genius can explain, right?"

"At least, he has not expressed any hostility to Konoha now."

Tsunade smiled helplessly. Konoha's situation was too complicated: the two consultants seemed to be relying on their seniority, but in fact, what they revealed was the resistance of the big clans in Konoha Village to her taking over Naruto.

Tsunade reminds them of the fear of being dominated by the Thousand Hand clan back then: The Thousand Hand brothers established Konoha and became the first two generations of Hokage in Konoha Village. At that time, it was also the period when Hokage had the strongest control over the village. All families in Konoha Village lived in the shadow of Thousand Hand.

After finally two powerful Hokages passed away, the Hokage was no longer the position of the Thousand Hand clan. They seemed to have seen a real opportunity to rise. In order to avoid the Thousand Hand clan's comeback, they directly forced this clan out of Konoha's power core.

Unexpectedly, Tsunade became the fifth-generation Hokage, which evoked bad memories for many people, so they tried their best to suppress Tsunade's power. This led to the situation where two consultants always cause trouble for Tsunade and even secretly stood with Danzo, in fact, they wanted to support one person to fight against Naruto.

The outside of Konoha was not calm. The storm in the Sandnian Village barely subsided. Yunnian still did not stop, not to mention that Akira was hiding in the dark and staring at the tailed beasts with no idea what the purpose was.

"If he is also hostile to Konoha, then I, Naruto, can't do it anymore."

Orochimaru, Akira, and other ninja villages, there are Danzo and several big families inside, and they are all enemies inside and out. If Ethan, who should have belonged to the Naruto family, went against Konoha, Tsunade really didn't know what to do.

"Don't say these disgusting words, this is not the Tsunade I am familiar with."

"Hmph, I'm just talking casually. Do you think such a little difficulty can defeat me?"

"It's best that you can cheer up...but you do need to cultivate some of your own strength." Jiraiya looked downstairs, countless Konoha ninjas were busy in and out, and one of the pink-haired figures happened to enter his sight: "Naruto and Sasuke's teammate are actually a very talented child."

"Haruno Sakura?"

Because of the special nature of Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke, Sakura Haruno, as a teammate, has also been carefully learned by Tsunade. He is a talented child after reading the information, and is from an ordinary family. He is considered a real Konoha, and he has no "background background".

"I will examine her..."

Haruno Sakura didn't know that she was about to embark on her own path. At this time, another member of the seventh class, Uchiha Sasuke, was complaining to Ethan.

"Aren't you doing a mission now? Keep wearing these loads?"

He didn't object to the task while carrying a load, but why did Ethan add the amount of his load before leaving? Shouldn't he avoid affecting the task and reducing the amount?

Unfortunately, Ethan gave him a special reply: "You don't need to really take action on this mission, just treat it as going out to practice."

“…”

Uchiha Sasuke's expression was so exciting, so he turned his head and looked at Kakashi next to him: "Why is it up to you to direct Teacher Kakashi when he is there?"

This made him very puzzled, especially since Ethan has not said the content of the mission so far.

After running for a long time, the three of them were now in the forest that was rarely visited. Ethan suddenly stopped and signaled the two to get closer.

"It's now possible to explain this mission."

Tsunade asked him to come out and check whether there was Orochimaru's nest around him. In addition to driving him out of the village and letting him go outside to make trouble, he also really wanted to clean Orochimaru's nest. At least he had to create some trouble for Orochimaru and relieve Konoha's defense pressure.

Ethan did not refuse, and it would be nice to stay bored and go out for a walk. If Orochimaru really hit him, he would beat him up. If Orochimaru didn't know how to fight him to the death, he wouldn't mind killing this guy.

However, with Orochimaru's shrewdness, he would definitely not be so stupid to jump out and be killed by himself, especially since this guy's recent situation is not very good, and he is likely to hide in a safe secret base.

After being injured by Ethan last time, Orochimaru's body has reached its limit, so he should be waiting for Sasuke's body.

Even if he cannot get Sasuke's body in time, he will still be reincarnated, and his new body will need some time to adapt, so he will definitely not jump out of this period to fight Ethan.

Therefore, the probability of encountering Orochimaru during this mission is not high. At most, encountering Orochimaru's subordinates, such as the loyal Kumaro?

Thinking about these things in his head, Ethan casually told Kakashi and Sasuke about the mission.

Kakashi and Uchiha Sasuke were speechless as they listened to Ethan's story.

"It's just the three of us?"

Are there too few people?

Especially Kakashi, although he is Konoha's Upper Ninja and one of the most elite people among the Upper Ninja, he has to overturn Orochimaru's nest with two young people. Did the fifth generation of adults dislike him so he asked him to die?

"Don't worry, it's hard to meet Orochimaru himself in this mission."

Kakashi was relieved when he heard this. The task seemed to be more reasonable. It seemed that the fifth generation did not have any opinions about him. Maybe it was just to train Ethan and sent him to follow him for the sake of safety?

But Ethan's next words made Kakashi's heart twitch again.

"But this mission is not just that, there is something extra to do."

"What's the matter?"

Sasuke didn't think too much and asked casually, and then Ethan's words made him unable to calm down.

"Catch Uchiha Itachi!"

Kakashi and Sasuke's eyes were glaring like light bulbs at the same time. One was surprised with a little expectation, while the other was full of surprise.

"are you serious?"

"certainly!"

"Is this a task arranged by Lord Naruto?"

Ethan nodded without blushing, and at the same time, in Naruto's office building, Tsunade just saw the message left by Ethan: I'm looking for evidence (Uchiha Itachi)!

"This little devil!"

The note was pressed under Tsunade's teacup. Because she had been talking to people before, she didn't notice it at all, and she didn't find the note until this time.

She felt her head hurt, and it would be too late to chase after her now, and she felt from the bottom of her heart that it didn't seem like a bad thing to let Uchiha Itachi come back.

How long Uchiha Itachi has been undercover outside for a long time? He must have enough knowledge of the Akatsuki organization. If he can come back, he can bring this information back to Konoha.

At the same time, Uchiha Itachi should know some of the black materials of Danzo, so it is also a good thing to knock down Danzo.

More importantly, Uchiha Itachi is very strong!

It is a huge waste to leave such a powerful ninja outside as an undercover? As for how to deal with his identity after his return? There are a large number of ninjas with hidden real identities and even no real identities. What's the difficult thing to arrange for Uchiha Itachi?

The only thing that made her confused was whether Ethan could do it?

"Although you look sure, I can be sure this is not the order of Lord Naruto."

"Teacher Kakashi, it's good to know about this kind of thing in your heart. Just say it and slap it in the face!"

"You can also pretend that you didn't know you were slapped in the face."

“…”

The uncontrollable conversation between the two made Sasuke calm down a little. Ethan's teachings were still useful during this period, at least he was not blinded by the passion.

"Do you know where he is?"

"Since I mentioned this, of course there is a way to find this person."

Sasuke clenched his fists. He wanted Ethan to take him to find Uchiha Itachi immediately, but is he strong enough now?

Seeing that he was not clamoring, Kakashi and Ethan nodded secretly. Sasuke did grow up a little, and at the same time they also strengthened their thoughts: they decided not to look for that dangerous man now; they could take Sasuke to meet that guy!

"But before departure, there is something else to do..."

Accompanied by Ethan's words, Kakashi suddenly felt a trance.
Chapter completed!
