achi said with a smile: “Relax, Mr.
Li.
Your mission is just C-Rank’s Escort Mission.
I can complete it by myself.
There will be no problems.”

Hearing Uchiha Itachi’s words, Li Yaoxiang was still a little worried.
It’s not that he doesn’t believe in Uchiha Itachi’s ability.
But more concerned about a Jonin hiding in the distance, secretly protecting Uchiha Itachi the Genin.

To avoid causing suspicion from others, before leaving the sight of these ninjas, Li Yaoxiang decided to continue to maintain his ‘sincere’ appearance.

“Hahaha! You are the genius ninja in the village.
How could I be uneasy? Don’t get me wrong.
I’m just curious.
I specifically entrusted you to accept this mission.
I just want to know you more.
I hope you don’t mind.”

Uchiha Itachi laughed, saying he didn’t mind.

The reason why his attitude towards Li Yaoxiang was so friendly was that he did not want to disappoint Shisui.
He knew that Shisui in the vicinity was watching him.
Therefore, facing the ‘customer’ Li Yaoxiang, he did his best to show a friendly attitude.

After the short exchange, the two went outside the village.

……

Konoha Village, Root base.

This is underground in a hidden place in Konoha Village.
All around is covered with huge roots.
The air is filled with a thick humid smell of mud.

At this time, Shimura Danzo was at the base, handling some of his daily official duties.

At this moment, a Root Ninja with a cough came to Shimura Danzo and reported to him: “Cough! Cough! Cough! Lord Danzo, just now someone reported that a villager got a Third-Hokage’s approval.
An approval about leaving the village.”

Shimura Danzo stopped his official duties.
His expression became slightly angry, questioning: “Hiruzen? Is he getting older and more confused? How can he let people leave the village casually? … Who’s leaving the village?”

Root ninja: “Cough! Cough! Cough! His name is Li Yaoxiang….”

Immediately after this, Root Ninja, who coughed from time to time, told him about Li Yaoxiang’s message and what happened recently.
Even about Li Yaoxiang commissioned ninjas to do an Escort Mission for him.

Shimura Danzo’s face became gloomier after hearing it.
He didn’t care whether Li Yaoxiang was innocent in this matter or not.
As long as there is a hint of probability that becomes an ‘unstable factor’, Shimura Danzo would rather kill the wrong one than let it go! Moreover, as long as Li Yaoxiang died as soon as he left the village, Konoha’s people would know how dangerous the outside world is! They all won’t hold the thought of leaving Konoha!

“Who took over this mission?”

“It’s Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui.”

Hearing that these two people took the task, Shimura Danzo’s face became a bit ugly.
He knew very well that the two of them could not move yet.
But with a little carelessness, Uchiha Clan may immediately create…

Before the village was prepared, he didn’t want to take this risk.

“No need to deal with the people of Uchiha Clan.
Send someone to stop them for a moment to see if there is a chance to kill that Li Yaoxiang.
If you really let him escape into a city… then forget it.”

The reason why there is such a choice because as long as he enters the city of Land-of-Fire, Danzo won’t be able to move that easily anymore.
Otherwise, it would be trouble for him if someone investigates it.

You need to know that in today’s Ninja Village, even if you are qualified to be a shadow in the village, you still need the consent of Daimyo*.

[*TL notes: A daimyō (English TV: Feudal Lord, literally meaning: Great Name) is the political leader of a country.
A daimyō is responsible for all decisions concerning their country, from alliances to the annual budget to the privileges allowed to the country’s hidden village.
Daimyō is, therefore, one of the single most important individuals in the entire country and holds the highest degree of political power, such that they are given special protection by the Allied Shinobi Forces during the Fourth Shinobi World War.]

“Cough, cough, cough. Yes!”
