Darkening System Start From Naruto

“Thank you very much for providing this information to us this time.
The news you heard is correct.
The two people really want to be detrimental to the ninja in the village.
Moreover, their goal is the Academy.
If it weren’t for your warning, I don’t know how many people will be hurt from this.”

Appreciated by Sarutobi Hiruzen, Li Yaoxiang seemed to be very happy and scratched his head: “Hahaha, thank goodness.
This all what everyone should do, after all.
As a part of Konoha, I certainly don’t want to see anyone in the village injured.”

“Un.” Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded with satisfaction, “If everyone loves the village as much as you do, then no such thing will happen.”

After saying these words of emotion, Sarutobi Hitoshi became a little lost.

Li Yaoxiang also behaved somewhat lost.

Silence for a moment.

Sarutobi Hiruzen regained his kind tone and said, “You have made a great achievement this time.
Have you ever thought of any rewards?”

Hearing that Sarutobi Hiruzen wants to reward himself, Li Yaoxiang hurriedly shook his head, and his palms kept swinging in front of him.

“No, no no, Lord-Hokage.
I report that thing, not for reward.
I really don’t want to see anyone injured in the village.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen’s attitude towards Li Yaoxiang only felt more and more satisfied.
He nodded, persuaded: “You don’t have to be polite.
Rewarding you is a good thing for you and for the village.
It is a statement for everyone who loves the village.”

Li Yaoxiang was a bit embarrassed: “Lord-Hokage, but….”

Before Li Yaoxiang refused again, Sarutobi Hiruzen interrupted: “I heard that your parents died in an accident.
If you really can’t think of any reward, how about I engrave their names on the monument of heroes instead?”

Speaking of which.
Whether it was Sarutobi Hiruzen or Kakashi, Li Yaoxiang’s expression was carefully observed.

However, they couldn’t find any clues.
Li Yaoxiang perfectly showed the depression of recalling his deceased parents.

Immediately afterward, Li Yaoxiang sighed and said: “Lord-Hokage, no need.
If Lord-Hokage really wants to reward me, I hope Lord-Hokage will grant me permission to leave Konoha.”

“Oh?” Sarutobi Hiruzen was slightly surprised, “Why do you want to leave Konoha?”

“Ahh, Lord-Hokage.
Frankly, Konoha did bring me a lot of good times.
But Konoha also brought me a lot of sad memories.
I’ve never been outside of Konoha in my life.
I want to go out for a walk.
Just relax and take a look at the outside world.”

For Li Yaoxiang’s requirements, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn’t feel anything wrong.

After all, Li Yaoxiang was the only one who left in his own family.

Moreover, maybe Li Yaoxiang’s departure would be a good thing for Konoha.

At least no one would remember Li Yaoxiang because his parents died in an accident.

Silence for a moment.

Sarutobi Hiruzen ultimately nodded: “Very well.
I will sign an approval letter to let you leave here.
If you need any help, just tell me.
Also, Konoha will always be your home.
You are welcome to come back at any time.”

“Thank you, Lord-Hokage.”

“Well, then you go back first.
After the approval is complete, I will let someone send it to you.”

After that, Kakashi took Li Yaoxiang and left Hokage Residence.

The two people’s suspicion about Li Yaoxiang was completely eliminated because of the end of this matter.

But what they would never know is that the behind-the-scenes planner of this whole incident was the Konoha commoner, Li Yaoxiang himself, who seemed to be honest and had no problems in front of them!

In order to win their trust! In order to get this approval letter from Konoha! Regarding this… everything was under the control of Li Yaoxiang!

As for why didn’t he use Kotoamatsukami directly on Sarutobi Hiruzen? Hehe.
Why would Li Yaoxiang do such a thankless thing?

Not to mention how high the risk of doing so, if you are not careful, clues will be found, and he can be tracked.
Even if he is so lucky that he hasn’t been discovered, what will happen to the darkening after that?

Without Sarutobi Hiruzen, the ‘natural’ darkening teammate, wouldn’t darkening Naruto cost more in the future? Therefore, a handy darkening tool like Sarutobi Hiruzen still makes him authentic, which is in the best interest of Li Yaoxiang.

……

3 days later.

The approval to leave Konoha came down.
Li Yaoxiang also sold his property in Konoha.

However, before leaving Konoha, Li Yaoxiang came to Konoha’s ‘mission reception’.
That is where Konoha Ninja was commissioned to receive the mission.

Upon hearing the news, Sarutobi Hiruzen soon sent an Anbu ninja to come and ask about the situation.

“Lord-Hokage, please.”

Li Yaoxiang followed the Anbu ninja again and came to the Hokage room.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sucked the tobacco pipe and asked, “I heard that you want to hire a ninja to escort you away from Konoha? What’s going on? Do you have any problems?”

Li Yaoxiang bowed his head with a stern expression: “No, no no, Lord-Hokage.
I haven’t encountered any difficulties.
I was just thinking, I have also made some savings in Konoha in these years, and before I leave, I want to give back some to the village.
And I grew up so old, lived in Konoha for so long, and have never commissioned a ninja mission.
Isn’t that justified? Hahaha.
I also want to try the experience of commissioning a ninja.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, then wondered: “But… why do you call Uchiha Itachi for this mission? Do you know him?”

“Haha, Lord-Hokage, Uchiha Itachi is the genius youngster of the Uchiha Clan this generation.
This news has spread throughout the village.
I’ve never really thought about it until now.
I have lived in Konoha for so long and have never met the village’s genius ninja.
Isn’t that a joke? So, I named him.
And…… And……” Speaking of which, Li Yaoxiang seemed a little embarrassed.
He immediately continued: “And my budget, among Konoha’s many geniuses, Uchiha Itachi is the most suitable.”

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen froze.
Then he laughed heartily.

It’s all so clear.

Why wouldn’t Sarutobi Hiruzen understand Li Yaoxiang’s shyness now?

The suspicion about Li Yaoxiang was eliminated again.

As for the real purpose of Li Yaoxiang, of course, it would not be as simple as he said on the surface.
Li Yaoxiang didn’t feel that he had just escaped from a dangerous situation before he completely escaped Konoha one day.
After all, Konoha was not alone in Sarutobi’s decision.

There are three main reasons why Uchiha Itachi was named to escort him.

1) Price problem

Li Yaoxiang did not have that much money to hire Jonin.
In this period, among the Genin, the most cost-effective, of course, is Uchiha Itachi.

2) Security issues

Among the Genins, it was Uchiha Itachi who was really worthy of the trust of Li Yaoxiang.
After all, Uchiha Itachi’s character was there.
Li Yaoxiang believes that Uchiha Itachi will definitely do his utmost to protect him, no matter who the opponent is.

3…

As for the third reason, it doesn’t matter.
After all, the third reason; Li Yaoxiang was just trying his luck.

It may or may not be what he expected.
If it’s not happening, it won’t be a loss for Li Yaoxiang.
He can just let it go.

After a hearty laugh, Sarutobi Hiruzen said: “Okay, I understand.
You go through the entrustment process.
I will order someone to give you the best price.”
