Tsunade picked up the phone. "Little Itachi, it's getting late. Make sure to send Ju-chan back soon!"
"Okay, okay! Grandma Master, the reason we called, besides praising Ju-chan, is to say we'll bring her home right away!" Uchiha Itachi was smooth in handling matters and immediately seized the opportunity.
Tsunade smiled and nodded. "You've worked hard, little Itachi. Teaching Ju-chan knowledge, life skills, and even sending her home."
"Not hard at all, not at all. I remember all the kindness Grandma Master showed me when I was little!" Uchiha Itachi's smile at this moment was innocent and pure. But in Uchiha Ju's eyes, Brother Itachi seemed so mature and so handsome!
"Little Itachi has really grown up and become so reliable! No wonder you're ranked in the top three of Konoha's Ten Most Handsome Men now!" Tsunade praised with a laugh.
"Ahem, Grandma Master, you're flattering me! Everyone knows Master is Konoha's number one handsome man!" Uchiha Itachi wasn't lying. This Konoha's Ten Most Handsome Men list was also evaluated based on family background, talent, and strength combined.
Ryun Uchiha was undeniably first. Ryun's hearing was extremely powerful. He heard Uchiha Itachi's praise for him and couldn't help but sit up straighter, thinking in his heart that this kid really knew how to talk!
Tsunade noticed this, glanced at Ryun, and licked her lips. "What Little Itachi said, ahem. Next, take Ju-chan out to play for two hours. She rarely goes out to play normally. Since she performed so well today, please trouble yourself, Little Itachi, to take her around. Remember, two hours! Make sure she plays enough!"
Uchiha Itachi said with a smile, "Okay. Since Grandma Master has ordered it, Shisui and I will take Ju-chan shopping."
"Mm! Little Itachi, whatever you spend, tell me later, and I'll reimburse you," Tsunade said with a laugh.
Uchiha Itachi shook his head. "It's just a little money, not worth mentioning, Grandma Master. We're about to set off now!" Uchiha Itachi laughed.
"Good! Go ahead." Then Tsunade hung up the phone. Uchiha Itachi put away his phone and looked at Uchiha Ju. "Grandma Master agreed to let me take you shopping for two hours. Are you happy?"
Uchiha Ju was stunned for a moment, then nodded. "Happy!" Hehe, I can go shopping this time!
Uchiha Itachi smiled. Uchiha Shisui twitched the corner of his mouth. "Itachi, look, if that's the case, then I..."
Uchiha Itachi glanced at him. "I told Grandma Master that you and I are taking Ju-chan together. If you don't want to, then go back."
Uchiha Shisui's mouth twitched completely. Damn, putting me on the spot, right? Fine, tonight I'll risk my life to keep you two company, shopping with you both!
"I definitely have to come along!" Uchiha Shisui laughed. Uchiha Itachi turned around, a hint of amusement in his eyes. This way, I don't have to worry about gossip!
Official Tool Person, Uchiha Shisui, is now online!
Outside
Uchiha Ju, holding Uchiha Itachi's hand, walked in front. Uchiha Shisui stood behind. He, this big unlucky guy, not only had to accompany the two shopping but also had to carry their bags for them!
Oh my god, next time, if I, Uchiha Shisui, ever go shopping with these two again, I'm a dog!
Uchiha Itachi smiled and introduced to Uchiha Ju what each shop sold. And every time they passed a clothing store or jewelry store, Uchiha Itachi would take Uchiha Ju inside to look.
As long as Uchiha Ju's gaze lingered for more than three seconds on something, he had one word: buy. Two words: wrap it up. Three words: I'll take it. To tell the truth, all three of these responses made Uchiha Ju extremely happy.
I never expected Brother Itachi to dote on her so much! But, with so much money, would Brother Itachi's life become difficult?
"Brother Itachi, maybe you should return these. I don't want you to have a hard life because of me!" Uchiha Ju said firmly. Look, the child of the Hokage, such correct values! If it were some other people, they would definitely know in their hearts but not say it. After getting it, they wouldn't care about others' lives.
Uchiha Shisui was drinking water. When he heard this, he spat out a mouthful of water. "Cough, cough, Miss Ju, do you know Itachi's identity?"
Uchiha Ju shook her head. "No matter what identity, you can't spend so much money! Brother Itachi, return these for me!"
Seeing Uchiha Ju like this, Uchiha Itachi felt warm inside. However, returning them was impossible. "Ahem, Ju-chan, don't worry. Even if I wanted to buy this entire shop, it would just be a matter of a word from me. It won't affect my life!"
"Huh? What? Brother Itachi's family is actually this rich!!!" Uchiha Ju's eyes lit up. Although she knew her own family was also rich, it was only to the extent of not worrying about food or clothing. She rarely saw her father buy her mother high-end jewelry.
Seeing Uchiha Ju's expression, both of them thought of something. They sighed inwardly. The Hokage really hid it well! Konoha's number one behind-the-scenes richest person, number one power broker, actually made his own daughter think their family was just ordinary!
"Mm, that's right! So in the future, whatever Ju-chan wants, just tell me. Brother Itachi will definitely do his best to buy it for you!" After saying this, Uchiha Itachi patted her head fondly.
Uchiha Ju was a little tempted but shook her head. "Father said girls must be self-reliant and never stop improving! You can't take advantage of others! I'll earn money to pay you back for these things after I become a shinobi!"
Looking at Uchiha Ju like this, Uchiha Itachi sighed. I shouldn't have taken Ju-chan to the jewelry area. Now she wants to pay me back. What a mess!
Uchiha Itachi didn't want Uchiha Ju to write an IOU. So he took her to various street stalls to eat delicious food. "These things aren't expensive. No IOUs allowed, okay?"
Uchiha Ju nodded. However, every time Itachi bought her something to eat, she would buy something else for Itachi in return. Although Itachi said she didn't need to spend money, the little girl insisted.
Helpless, the two of them bought things for each other and fed each other. Even foods Itachi didn't like, under the sparkle of Uchiha Ju's bright eyes, he ate them. The taste seemed, not bad after all!
Uchiha Shisui felt somewhat speechless. He increasingly felt that coming along was a mistake. Wasn't he just a tool person?
Just then, a burly shinobi wearing a Konoha forehead protector suddenly appeared on the street and charged straight at Uchiha Ju. He activated Lightning Release chakra, speeding up frantically.
Uchiha Itachi instantly activated his Mangekyō. A red Susanoo enveloped him and Uchiha Ju. He had fought shinobi from Kumogakure over the years and was extremely familiar with the Lightning Release Chakra Mode. He looked at this man wearing the Konoha forehead protector, his eyes filled with killing intent!
"Kumo-nin spy! Do you know what you're doing? Do you know who you're trying to capture?" Uchiha Itachi was angry. The red Susanoo skeleton enveloped Uchiha Ju. He held Uchiha Ju with one arm, while his other hand stretched out into the air.
The Kumo-nin spy, seeing the first attack failed, wanted to leave. Then a giant red hand grabbed his neck and slowly lifted him up. Uchiha Ju was indeed startled just now! But Brother Itachi directly activated Susanoo. Seeing the red barrier in front of her and feeling Brother Itachi's hand on her shoulder, she suddenly felt at ease.
"Cough, cough, Uchiha Itachi, this is on the street. Are you going to hurt innocent people?" No matter what, the Kumo-nin spy would not admit it! He might as well use the crowd to force Uchiha Itachi to let go, then he could make his escape! Anyway, he knew he couldn't stay in Konoha Village anymore!
The surrounding shinobi and civilians indeed didn't see clearly what just happened. But what they saw now was Uchiha Itachi using Susanoo, one hand choking the neck of this Konoha shinobi.
However, based on their trust in the Uchiha clan and Uchiha Itachi, the crowd remained silent. Soon, the Konoha Military Police Force patrol, seeing the congestion ahead, arrived immediately!
The leader was Hyūga Hizashi. He saw Uchiha Itachi holding the Konoha shinobi by the neck. He didn't say anything but exchanged a look with Uchiha Itachi.
Uchiha Itachi took a deep breath and finally let go. "This is a Kumo-nin spy. He just tried to attack Uchiha Ju and I stopped him."
After saying this, Uchiha Itachi dispersed the Susanoo. Uchiha Ju's petite figure appeared on the scene. Everyone present, including Hyūga Hizashi, felt their legs go weak, wanting to kneel and say, 'Greetings, Little Princess.' But Uchiha Itachi shook his head.
"Ju-chan doesn't know about her family's affairs. Don't expose it!" Uchiha Itachi sent a sound transmission to Hyūga Hizashi's ear. Hyūga Hizashi's expression didn't change, but he nodded inwardly.
The Kumo-nin spy just wanted to argue when Hyūga Hizashi hit him on the mouth with a police baton. "This person is a Kumo-nin spy. He just attempted to harm a Konoha villager. Now, our Konoha Military Police Force will arrest him. Tomorrow, all evidence and results will be made public. Everyone, please disperse!"
Hearing Hyūga Hizashi say this, the doubts in everyone's hearts dissipated considerably.
After all, the Konoha Military Police Force had always had a high reputation and prestige in the village.
Their actions were always well-founded. They not only showed their credentials during operations but also explained the situation in detail to everyone. The entire process was open and transparent.
Compared to the Konoha Military Police Force in the original story, the current Military Police Force was simply worlds apart!
The original Military Police Force might have had some problems, but the current one was completely different. They truly achieved fairness, justice, and openness, becoming the protectors of the villagers.
The duties of the Military Police Force were not only to maintain order but also to protect the property safety, life safety, and daily lives of the people of Konoha.
They were like a group of silently guarding angels. Day and night, they always stood firm at their posts, contributing their strength to the harmony and stability of Konoha Village.
It could be said that the current Konoha Military Police Force had become one of the most important departments in Konoha Village. Their presence made the villagers feel safe and at ease, and also made the entire village safer and more orderly.
