Planning to Stay in the Village?

Upon hearing Itachi Uchiha's words, Kanami nodded slightly. "You're right, they can't forgive you."

"Even from an outsider's perspective, I can't forgive you, let alone the Ninja of Konoha Village. And your brother, under normal circumstances, will never be able to reconcile with you in this lifetime."

If Kishimoto the old thief hadn't personally intervened, even if Uchiha Sasuke knew why his brother Itachi Uchiha did all those things, he wouldn't have known.

They would never approve of Itachi Uchiha's actions, let alone the iconic scene of brothers working together to Brother Long.

"If that's the case, why are you still asking me to return to Konoha Village?"

Itachi Uchiha countered with a question.

Kanami shook his head. "I was just saying it casually. Whether you reply or not is definitely up to you."

Itachi Uchiha was speechless:...

However, after hearing what he said, Itachi Uchiha's heart couldn't help but stir slightly.

The horrific scene of him sacrificing his entire clan for Konoha still lingers in his mind from time to time.

This is enough to prove that he still has a very deep affection for the village.

If he wasn't controlled by Shisui's Kotoamatsukami, then it undoubtedly shows that he loved the village more than his people.

He simply couldn't bring himself to harm his own brother, yet strangely, he could bring himself to harm his own parents.

"..."

Itachi Uchiha fell into deep thought for a long time. He frowned slightly, a complex light flashing in his eyes, then slowly raised his eyes to look at Kanami and said with utmost seriousness, "I want to stay. Can you help me?"

"I can help you arrange a meeting with the Fifth Hokage."

Kanami stroked his chin, then suddenly seemed to remember something and continued, "Oh, right, but I just had a conflict with the Fifth Hokage. Sending me might not necessarily have a good effect, and it might even backfire."

Itachi Uchiha was slightly taken aback, a look of surprise appearing on his face.

"What? You have a conflict with the Fifth Hokage?"

He pondered to himself, unable to understand how Kanami could have a conflict with the Hokage.

Kanami spoke calmly, "Because the leader of the Akatsuki Organization and I became friends, we had a conflict."

Itachi Uchiha's face was filled with question marks:??

Have you become friends?

Are you sure you're not a traitor?

If this is the reason for your conflict with the Hokage, I can understand it. If I were in your shoes, I would definitely think you're a traitor.

He secretly grumbled to himself.

Itachi Uchiha glanced at Kanami and said, "It's because Tsunade suspects him of treason, isn't it?"

Kanami shook his head, his expression calm. "No, it's because I killed the person who suspected me of treason, and that's how the conflict arose."

Itachi Uchiha's eyes widened, another wave of astonishment washing over him:??

In that situation, they were already the target of everyone's criticism, yet they still dared to kill someone?

Doesn't this just confirm his reputation as a traitor?

He was filled with curiosity about how Kanami had managed to remain unharmed.

"You wouldn't have given away the Hokage too..., would you?"

"What are you thinking? How could I possibly do that to the Lord Hokage? The people I kill are either stupid or evil; I'm just helping out by dealing with some parasites in the village."

Kanami answered calmly, his face showing a determined expression.

With those parasites around, Konoha will never be peaceful, even in times of peace.

"Alright," Itachi Uchiha shook his head helplessly, sighing inwardly.

He couldn't say anything more, after all, what Kanami did was incomparable to what he had done.

"Alright, I'm going to find the Lord Hokage."

Itachi Uchiha nodded. "Alright, let's meet here again later."

Kanami nodded, Flying Thunder God Technique was activated instantly.

In an instant, Kanami's figure disappeared from Itachi Uchiha's sight.

They reappeared on the Commercial Street.

Um...

He was going to buy some fruit.

Although he knew the fruit might not be of much use, he still thought it would be better to buy some; at least that's what he felt.

After carefully selecting the items, Kanami arrived at Tsunade's office carrying bags of apples, bananas, and other fruits in both hands.

A crisp knock sounded on the door.

"Come in."

Tsunade's voice came from the inner room.

Kanami gently pushed the door open and entered.

When they saw each other, they both paused for a moment, their faces showing complicated expressions, as if they didn't know what kind of expression to show.

Although Kanami believed that what he did was reasonable and well-founded at the time, his actions were actually quite inappropriate.

He knew it himself, but his pride prevented him from admitting it, and to Tsunade at that moment, it was tantamount to slapping her in the face.

Kanami broke the silence first, took a deep breath, and said, "Lord Hokage, it's been a long time. I've come to apologize."

Tsunade was slightly taken aback, her mind filled with surprise, still in a daze.

Apologize?

who?

Kanami?

She had never heard of Kanami bowing down to anyone before, so why was he apologizing today?

"Is Zun Du fake Du?"

"Really, after I went back, I thought about it carefully, and with Hinata's guidance, I realized that I had a big problem. I shouldn't have killed someone in that situation."

Kanami sincerely apologized, a hint of remorse on his face, reflecting on his behavior and acknowledging his mistake.

Tsunade raised an eyebrow slightly, a faint smile playing on her lips, a secret delight in her heart.

Kanami is actually quite decent; all the kindness I've shown him these past few days hasn't been in vain.

As far as she knew, this was the first time Kanami had ever bowed her head and admitted her mistake.

"It's alright. I've thought about it afterwards, and you're right. There's no need to keep those parasites who are either stupid or malicious. Even if you don't deal with them, I'll have to sooner or later."

"How can we allow such a problem to occur within the team?" Tsunade, speaking magnanimously.

"Thank you, Lord Hokage. These are some fruits I bought."

Kanami placed the bags he was carrying next to Tsunade's desk.

Tsunade taken aback, somewhat surprised.

"Why did you think of buying me fruit? Actually, I don't like eating fruit, and I don't really have time to eat it..."

"Easy."

Kanami slightly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a mysterious smile.

With a wave of his hand, he took out several bottles of liquor.

"Smack!"

The shochu was placed on Tsunade's desk.

Tsunade's face immediately lit up with joy!

"Shochu! Kanami! This is quite to my liking!"

"Bang!"

The sound of the door being kicked open.

"Lady Tsunade!"

A low shout rang out.

A girl with Black Short Hair stormed in, carrying her pet pig.

"I've told you, drinking liquor is not allowed during work hours!"

"I didn't buy this, Shizune. Kanami bought it for me."

Tsunade rubbed her ears, a hint of helplessness on her face. She was already very sleepy, and Shizune's shout made her feel like she was going deaf.

"Huh? Ah!" Shizune blushed instantly, feeling a little embarrassed.

She pouted and muttered under her breath, "You should have said there were outsiders... really!"
