"There have been."
Hatake Akira looked down at the two people's tightly clasped hands, chuckled and looked up at Orochimaru, "Then... happy cooperation!"
"Happy cooperation!"
After shaking hands for a while, the two separated their hands.
"Orochimaru, I want to ask you something." Hatake Akira wiped his hands on the corner of his clothes inconspicuously.
"whats the matter?"
Orochimaru's treatment of Hatake Akira is now seven points less cold and nine points more sincere. The remaining point is due to his wish to dissect Hatake Akira hundreds or even millions of years later in order to learn the secrets of him.
"Are you a man or a snake?"
Akira Hatake has always been curious about this question, because many of Orochimaru's characteristics are indeed unreasonable.
Just when he shook hands with Orochimaru, Hatake Akira felt that the temperature of Orochimaru's palm was at least five degrees lower than that of ordinary people.
"Oh, I don't want to tell you."
"Oh, I didn't realize you have a tsundere personality!"
"Heh, similarly, I haven't discovered that Mingjun actually has the special attribute of bewitching people!"
"Oh, each other."
"Humph, you're much more boring than Jiraiya..."
If Jiraiya were here, he would probably be surprised, or more likely find it a little ridiculous.
It took Akira Hatake, the "wrench", less than an hour to capture Orochimaru...
Is there still heavenly law or royal law?
At this, Hatake Akira could only smile and say nothing. This might be a talent that others could not envy.
Chapter 237 Uchiha Itachi formally becomes Hatake Akira's apprentice. (Additional chapters for 200 monthly tickets.)
After leaving Orochimaru's troops, Hatake Akira immediately rushed back to Konoha.
With the Flying Thunder God Technique at his disposal, Hatake Akira has already achieved the ability to travel a thousand miles a day.
However, after returning to Konoha, Hatake Akira still had to face a reality that he did not want to accept.
The plan for the reform of the Ninja School still needs him to personally take charge, and the day when he can "retire" and live a carefree life is still a long way off.
But there was no way out, Hatake Akira had to grit his teeth and hold on.
However, there is also good news. Uchiha Itachi, a genius and hard-working ninja who was quite controversial in Hatake Akira's previous life, is now kneeling obediently in front of him.
Reaching out to take the teacup that Uchiha Itachi held above his head with both hands, Hatake Akira drank it all and then placed the empty cup on the table.
"Wake up, Itachi."
With a smile on his face, Akira Hatake reached out and gave Uchiha Itachi a light support.
"is teacher!"
"You can also call me Master."
Hatake Akira couldn't help but say a few more words. After all, the little guy Uchiha Itachi had performed the ceremony of becoming an apprentice, which was considered as some traces of his past life that Hatake Akira left for himself after he came to the world of Naruto.
If there is no accident, Hatake Akira feels that the method of recruiting apprentices "initiated" by himself should be passed down in Konoha.
Because Akira Hatake invited a lot of people to watch the ceremony today.
Namikaze Minato, Hatake Sakumo, Hinata Hizashi, Hinata Hizashi, Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Mikoto, Uzumaki Kushina, Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Kaiichi, Akimichi Choji...
Almost all the high-ranking officials of Konoha, big and small, were present, which gave enough face to both Hatake Akira and the Uchiha clan.
It can be said that after this incident, the Uchiha clan has been completely bound to the Hatake clan and Minato Namikaze.
If the Uchiha clan dares to repay kindness with enmity in the future, not to mention what will happen to their reputation, the evidence left for Hatake Akira and Namikaze Minato will be enough to get them exterminated twice.
"Yes, master!"
Uchiha Itachi's little face was full of seriousness, and his meticulous look made him look very cute.
"Don't just stand there, hurry up and serve tea to your master."
Hatake Akira pointed at Minato Namikaze who was sitting next to Hatake Akira, "After serving tea, you can be considered a member of the teacher's school."
As soon as Hatake Akira finished speaking, all the people watching the ceremony looked at each other, and after a glance, a hint of helplessness flashed in their eyes.
This is almost like a famous brand...
Hatake Akira was about to point at Namikaze Minato and shout to the Uchiha clan: This is your backer, hurry up and come over to show your loyalty!
But then, a glimmer of desire flashed in the eyes of everyone present.
They also wanted their own children to worship Hatake Akira as their master...
But they were just thinking about it. Hatake Akiyuki's plan to recruit so many disciples was just an opportunity to once again warn the Konoha leaders, right?
It's one thing to figure it out, but it's another to not be able to deal with it.
"Ha ha!"
Namikaze Minato smiled brightly, put the finished cup of tea on the table and stood up to leave, "Ming, Itachi, I still have a lot of government affairs to deal with, I'll be leaving first."
Minato Namikaze was telling the truth, and his goal had been achieved, so naturally he had no reason to stay here any longer.
Although he could continue to stay here, doing so would undoubtedly steal the limelight from Hatake Akira and the Uchiha clan.
After all, the protagonists today are Hatake Akira and Uchiha Itachi, and Namikaze Minato doesn't want to steal the spotlight.
As the fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze is the center of attention wherever he goes.
Because Minato Namikaze is not only the Hokage, but also the most powerful Hokage in Konoha's history since the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and there is no doubt about it!
It can be said that the achievements made by Minato Namikaze are unprecedented...
As for whether there will be anyone next, it depends on whether Hatake Akira wants to serve as the Fifth Hokage of Konoha.
After Minato Namikaze left, the atmosphere at the scene immediately became lively.
Regardless of whether they had any dirty dealings with the Uchiha clan in the past, the clan heads now act as if nothing had happened and they praise the current Uchiha clan generously.
There are even some weaker families that have implicitly sent signals of in-depth cooperation to Uchiha Fugaku.
Hatake Akira could guess the scope of the cooperation, but he didn't want to care about it.
Because there were so many people surrounding Hatake Akira, some of the conditions for exchanging interests they proposed made Hatake Akira very annoyed.
Perhaps this is the trouble after gaining power...
Everyone wants to curry favor with me...
Hatake Akira thought so and leaned back in his chair, not wanting to move.
Finally, when the last person left the Hatake residence, Hatake Akira's ears finally calmed down.
"Itachi, come here."
After everyone left, Uchiha Itachi, who should have been the protagonist but had always been ignored, was finally remembered by Hatake Akira and waved to him.
"master!"
Uchiha Itachi had a stern face, looked serious and earnest, and his attitude was very correct, just like a little adult.
In response, Hatake Akira shook his head and laughed.
Uchiha Itachi is good in every way except that he is too precocious and his thoughts are too profound and obscure.
It would be strange if a child of only a few years old did not have problems with his brain if he did not enjoy his childhood and spent every day thinking about philosophical questions about life, war and peace!
There is nothing wrong with being mature, there are some problems with being too mature.
"Don't be so reserved. The age difference between you and me is not that big..."
Hatake Akira's birthday is still a few months away, and he will turn 10 after his birthday. Compared with the three-year-old Uchiha Itachi, the two are only six and a half years apart.
"I remember you said, Master, once a teacher, always a father."
Uchiha Itachi shook his head, "I will treat you like my father, Master!"
"Don't!"
Hatake Akira shook his head decisively and refused, "As a filial son, you should be more filial to your parents. Your teacher doesn't need you for the time being!"
This is the filial son Uchiha Itachi. Even with the intervention of Hatake Akira, the future has changed.
But Hatake Akira still felt that he had to be cautious.
"Is it Master...you don't like Itachi?"
"It's not that I don't like you, I just think that the way you are now, it's easy for problems to arise in the future."
"If there is a problem, what will the problem be?"
Uchiha Itachi bit his finger, and when he felt something was wrong, he immediately retracted the finger that was close to his mouth.
"See, your actions now are your problem now."
Hatake Akira pointed at Uchiha Itachi's retracted finger and said, "Do you think this is something you should do at your age, or should you not do it?"
"It shouldn't be..."
Uchiha Itachi thought for a while, "I should be strict with myself and prepare myself to become a great ninja in the future!"
Well, another seriously ill problem child...
Hatake Akira felt somewhat helpless and somewhat amused.
Reaching out and rubbing Uchiha Itachi's little head, Hatake Akira could only assign Uchiha Itachi a task first, in order to force Uchiha Itachi to relax in this way.
"In that case, I will assign you a task."
"Master, just say it!"
Uchiha Itachi suddenly became alert, staring at Hatake Akira with shining eyes.
"Here, take this."
Hatake Akira handed Uchiha Itachi a children's picture book and said, "Go back and read it carefully twice, then draw it twice, and finally... tell the story to some children in the village."
