The God Of Shinobi
Chapter 239 Traitor?
‘’But why did Queen Saara send you two harps?’’ ask Kushina.
‘’He only wrote in the letter that he had kept his promise. Although he also still expressed his gratitude after saving Rouran Kingdom first,’’ Minato replied.
Naruto #1 who knew everything chose silence with a feeling of pleasure.

Morning beritkunya in a place, seen two figures of children who shelter under the shade of a tree.
One of the children had pale skin that contrasted with his jet black hair and gray eyes, wearing a blue kimono with rolled arms, a scarf around his neck and a black arm warmer. While the other white-haired child had white hair along the waist, gray eyes with some circular patterns like Rinnegan, wearing a sleeveless kimono on a red top.
‘’Katon : Onidourou!’’ exclaim white-haired boy.
It released numerous fireballs floating around it that were ghost-shaped at the final stage. However, the dozens of fireballs instantly disappeared making him kick the petals of the hump while grumbling then sitting down.
The black haired child just smiled. ‘’Don't give up Ryuuzetsu.’’
‘’Cih! Genius children like yourself shut up, Muku,’’ annoy Ryuuzetsu.
‘’If you are angry just because of trivial things, your face will get old quickly,’’ said Muku chuckled.
Ryuuzetsu cut both cheeks because the boy next to him was always teasing him. Even so, Muku always gave her the spirit not to give up.

On the other hand, the daily routine goes on as usual in Konoha. The Jounin and Genin walk through the village just from the Hokage's office to receive their respective assignments. Seeing Itachi among them, made the citizens whisper a little. Naruto #1 frowned at the strange behavior of everyone.
After everything spread out, Shisui looked at Itachi beside him. ‘’Although the case has been resolved, it seems like everyone still doubts you.’’
‘’They think Yondaime Hokage took a one-sided decision to see his friendship with my father,’’, Itachi said.
Shisui sighed while patting the shoulder of his close friend. ‘’You don't have to care about what everyone says. Stay to yourself.’’
But I cannot let the villagers doubt their own leader, Itachi said in his heart.
‘’Shisui, you go to the bridge first, I'll catch up. I stopped by the house for a while because I remembered something,’’, Itachi said.

Naruto #1 looks at Obito and Rin. He asked if the two saw the behavior of the villagers whispering as they walked down the street earlier.
‘’True? I didn't pay much attention,’’ said Obito.
‘’Iya. I don't see any such gestures along the way,’’ Rin said.
Eh? Are they kidding? Obviously I saw their behavior that looked like they were whispering dattebayo, Naruto said #1 inwardly.
Obito frowned. ‘’What are you up to thinking like that?’’
‘’Aa is okay. Maybe it's just my feelings. Oh yes, lately the weather looks a little bad,’’ said Naruto #1 shifting the topic.
Rin looked up at the slightly cloudy sky with a moderate gust of wind. ‘’It looks like so.’’

Hokage Office
Minato, who was checking the file, turned his head after hearing the figure's words. ‘’Citizens can be seen whispering as you walk through the village?’’
Naruto #1 nods justifiably and feels confused by the behavior of the people in the village. Because there were so many people, making him unable to guess who they were talking about, there must have been one of them who caused the whisper earlier.
‘’It seems they still doubt Uchiha Itachi, yes?’’ ask Sandaime.
‘’Doubt Itachi? Eh? What does it mean since the mission to the Moon Country? Isn't the case proven that he's innocent?’’ ask Naruto #1.
‘’Tenace. I'll take care of it later. Currently, there are reports of a portion of Jounin carrying out missions out of the village. Several citizens of 4 of the five Big Countries were found dead mysteriously,’’ Minato said.
‘’Murder secretly?’’ ask Naruto #1.
‘’You're right. But the problem is, the perpetrator who committed the murder is said to be from our own Konoha village. And at the moment, we are investigating it,’’ Minato said.
That means that one of us is a traitor. But who? Dattebayo, said Naruto #1 inwardly.
