Chapter 249

Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately turned to the alluring woman behind Akito and asked her a question.

Even with his beloved disciple standing right in front of him, Hiruzen Sarutobi... did not recognize him.

After all, even the body has been changed.

Concealing one's true identity is naturally a piece of cake.

At this point, neither Hiruzen Sarutobi nor even Shimura Danzō knew that Orochimaru had already completed the "Living Corpse Reincarnation" and had already changed several bodies.

The first two are experimental.

The third body now is also a kind of experiment.

Orochimaru's test this time is on the bodies of female ninjas to see if it will affect the Reincarnation Jutsu.

Because of this relationship.

Even if he stood right under Hiruzen Sarutobi's nose, he wouldn't recognize him.

Because... from head to toe, Orochimaru has completely transformed into a woman.

"Lord Hokage, I am a resident of the Land of Rain, and I've come here for tourism. I've heard that the hot springs in Konoha are very good for the skin, and even the Daimyo of the Land of Fire comes here every year."

Orochimaru smiled.

"I ran into Lord Akito today, so I accompanied him to the platform."

"Hehe."

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled, and the atmosphere eased considerably.

Although there will always be wars and frictions between countries.

But in the peacetime following the end of the Fourth Shinobi World War.

It is perfectly normal for ordinary people to move around together.

The four executives then took their seats.

Utatane Koharu's face was tense, Mitokado Homura frowned, and Danzo expressionless.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, on the other hand, tried his best to say some nice things.

To the people of the Akito Dynasty, these were all meaningless and pointless words.

After some conversation, it was already dusk.

Hiruzen Sarutobi stated that he would arrange accommodation for Akito so that he could rest there for the night, and the talks would continue the next day.

A special dinner was also held.

Preparations are underway to welcome the Akito dynasty guests.

That evening.

Everything proceeded as planned.

In Konoha's most luxurious restaurant, the group enjoyed the most expensive cuisine.

Then.

Hiruzen Sarutobi personally escorted Akito out of the restaurant and watched Shikaku Nara leave with him.

"Your Excellency, Akito"

Shikaku Nara carefully considered his words.

Although he was a confidant of the Konoha High Command, Shikaku Nara was unaware of everything.

In the Naruto manga.

Many decisions and secrets are kept confidential only by the top four members...

Therefore, Shikaku Nara truly believed that Konoha would acknowledge the international status of the Land of Rain the sixth largest country and recognize Akito as the Amekage.

"I hope we can leave the past behind... and move forward hand in hand..."

Shikaku Nara spoke very sincerely.

That's probably what they were thinking deep down.

The fact that he was a Konoha Ninja met Akito multiple times without being killed already proves his worth.

The reason why Konoha High Command sent him is also due to this.

It's likely that only Shikaku Nara wouldn't anger Amakawa Akito.

"Fugaku, I'll leave the security work to the officers of the Police Force."

Shikaku Nara nodded to Fugaku Uchiha, and the group finally stopped in front of a luxurious villa.

"Don't worry, Mr. Shikaku, I'll stake the Uchiha's reputation on it."

Fugaku Uchiha responded calmly.

Afterwards, Shikaku Nara bid farewell to Akito, mentioned some arrangements for the next day, and then left.

"Then, you two... please."

Fugaku Uchiha extended his hand as an invitation.

Akito and Orochimaru entered the manor together.

"Lord Akito, is there anything else you need to arrange?" Orochimaru acted like a true maid.

"No, you must be tired after a long day. Get some rest."

Akito nodded at Orochimaru.

The latter left with the others and went to rest in another room.

Wait until the door is closed.

Orochimaru's lips curled into a sinister smile, "Heh heh heh... The plan was perfect. Even Amakawa Akito didn't recognize me."

Orochimaru then began to envision the next step.

Although a new cooperation agreement has been reached with Danzo.

However, Orochimaru was unaware of the specifics of the transaction.

His thoughts and perceptions are similar to those of Shikaku Nara.

Orochimaru's plan is... to use his new identity to get close to Akito, and then find a way to get into a high-ranking position in Amegakure.

By leveraging familiarity, they identified the weaknesses of Amakawa Akito.

They even usurped the village and seized ownership of Amegakure.

Orochimaru was daydreaming about the future.

On Akito's side, Fugaku Uchiha personally escorted him to the door.

"Fugaku."

Akito named Ming called out to Fugaku Uchiha.

He ignored the barely concealed hostility in the eyes of the Uchiha ninjas he encountered along the way.

Akito spoke expressionlessly, "I have something I'd like to discuss with you."

"Tomorrow."

Fugaku Uchiha shook his head.

"If I go directly into your room, it will arouse suspicion."

"Even if it concerns the future of the Uchiha Clan?" Akito tilted his head and asked in return.

"..."

Fugaku Uchiha remained silent.

After a moment, he nodded.

I intend to see what the Akito have to say.

Soon.

The two sat down.

There was a low table in the middle.

The two sat cross-legged on the tatami mat, gazing at each other across the table.

Have you considered developing your career in our Amegakure?

The Akito got straight to the point.

According to the timeline.

At this point, the Uchiha Clan was on the verge of being wiped out by... Itachi Uchiha.

Oh, although my own actions might cause some changes to the plot.

Inviting the Uchiha is not a problem.

Because the Konoha High Command viewed the Uchiha with an attitude of complete genocide.

The Akito did this not because they coveted the power of the Uchiha.

After all, what the Akito wanted to do was to break down the theory of bloodline.

Although this could drastically alter the plot of Crown Prince Naruto.

However, the Akito pondered this for many years.

I've realized a problem...

Each and every human being before me is a vibrant life.

Therefore, one should not treat them as NPCs or simply characters in the story.

Saving one person is saving a life.

I've been in this world for so many years.

Encountering all sorts of things.

I personally solved each problem.

He personally built Amegakure...

While beating Kurenai Yuhi, he realized that he was indeed just a mortal.

They have feelings for others and for their own village.

Therefore, trying to rescue the Uchiha is not out of the question.

177. The talks naturally broke down.

"Do you really think we can reconcile after accumulating such deep-seated hatred?"

Fugaku Uchiha countered with a question.

Amakawa Akito killed the Shisui family.

The Uchiha also killed many Amegakure ninja.

Extreme hatred has developed between the two sides.

Under such circumstances, how could they possibly join hands?

"You're right, I agree. Hatred isn't something you can just let go of so easily."

The Akito nodded.

Both sides fell silent.

After a moment, Fugaku Uchiha spoke again, "My son... Itachi, you spared him back then, and I thank you for that."
