"I always hoped that Itachi would stand by the family, but I didn't expect that I would also unknowingly neglect my own family..."
Fugaku felt a strong sense of regret in his heart.
Was it really the right thing to take Itachi, who was only four years old, to the battlefield?
Although Itachi is very good now, the smile on his face seems to be getting less and less.
Especially in recent years, the communication between father and son has become less and less.
Maybe, I should put aside my status as the clan leader and understand Itachi's thoughts better from my father's perspective?
"well……"
Fugaku couldn't help but sigh again, but after reacting, he slapped himself directly.
Uchiha Mikoto on the side smiled and shook her head: "Let's go inside first, Itachi will be back soon."
Hearing this, Fugaku rubbed his stiff face.
He forced himself to put on an ugly smile.
Anyway, let's have a good chat with Itachi.
As for whether the results are good or bad... I'm really tired.
…………
Konoha is still calm, but under this calmness, there is a turbulent undercurrent hidden.
In front of the clan leader's residence, Uchiha Itachi looked at Sasuke's report card with a stern expression.
The long list of "second place" on the transcript is so dazzling.
"Sasuke, why...why are you second in every subject?"
Itachi twitched the corner of his mouth and asked helplessly.
He had always been responsible for Sasuke's training, and he taught him step by step.
Although Sasuke's talent is not as strong as his own, it should be easy to be the top grader in the ninja school.
And didn't Sasuke already learn ninjutsu some time ago?
Why did he become the second best person in this practical training course?
"me……"
Sasuke lowered his head and said nonchalantly: "Brother, I lost to that guy again."
After saying that, he suddenly raised his head and said loudly as if he was swearing: "Next time! I will definitely defeat him next time!"
A strange color flashed in Uchiha Itachi's eyes.
"Uzumaki Naruto, the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, are they so good..."
Sasuke tried his best but could not defeat the opponent.
So it can only mean that the child named Uzumaki Naruto has surpassed Sasuke in all aspects of ability.
Uchiha Itachi was thinking in his heart, and then reached out and touched Sasuke's head: "It doesn't matter. Only when you have a goal that you can chase can you be inspired to keep working hard to become stronger."
He knew very well that Sasuke had always regarded him as a target and hoped to gain his father's approval.
But both goals are too difficult.
Sasuke didn't show any special talent, and he was just better than the ordinary ninjas in the clan.
Therefore, with Zhuyu in front, it can be said that it is extremely difficult for him to get the approval of his rigid father.
"I know, I will work hard to become stronger!"
Sasuke clenched his fist, then looked at his brother with expectant eyes: "Brother, can you train with me?"
"..."
Itachi thought for a moment and finally shook his head.
He tapped Sasuke's forehead with his finger, then smiled helplessly: "Forgive me, Sasuke, next time."
He had just accepted the ANBU mission not long ago, and now he couldn't be absent due to personal matters.
"why?"
Sasuke rubbed his forehead, his cheeks bulged slightly, and said dissatisfied: "Are you going to find that woman?"
woman?
Itachi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he remembered who the "woman" Sasuke mentioned was.
"Quan?"
A strange color flashed in Uchiha Itachi's eyes.
Ever since he opened the Three Magatama Sharingan, he has never seen Izumi again.
Now looking back on the content of the chat with Izumi, maybe she had already expected it.
This cursed eye...
Uchiha Itachi sighed and said comfortingly: "Don't think too much, it's the ANBU's mission."
After Sasuke turned around and returned to the room, Itachi shook his head and stood up, just as he was about to leave.
"Itachi Uchiha!"
A yell with a bad tone suddenly came from outside.
"What are these idiots doing again?" Itachi's face suddenly darkened.
But he returned to normal in a moment and walked towards the door with a calm expression.
"Yashiro, rice fire, iron fire."
Looking at the three people in front of him, Itachi asked: "What do you want?"
Although these three people are all radicals, their personalities are very different.
Uchiha Yashiro was the most radical and conspicuous among them. His will can represent the will of the Uchiha radicals.
Because not long ago, he had the support of a radical elder.
But now he has passed away.
Uchiha Tekka and Inari also have the spirit of sacrifice and dedication for the Uchiha clan, but their personalities are more stable.
Itachi recalled the information he saw in the ANBU intelligence.
"We still have some details to ask you about Uchiha Shisui who was killed not long ago and the ANBU."
Facing his questioning tone, Uchiha Itachi just frowned and looked at the paper in Yashiro's hand.
brush!
"you!!"
In the blink of an eye, Itachi snatched the paper in Yashiro's hand back.
Looking at the familiar handwriting on it, Itachi's expression suddenly hardened, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
[I’m very tired. If this continues, the Uchiha clan will come to an end, and so will I...]
Obviously, this suicide note was to dissuade the Uchiha clan from launching a coup, and it also contained death intentions.
"Brother Zhisui, did you have plans to die?"
Brother Shisui, who had always been optimistic and positive in front of him, turned out to have despaired of the Uchiha clan for a long time.
But the truth behind the death of Brother Shisui is no longer important now.
The most important thing is, who took away Brother Shisui's two Sharingan eyes?
"Is it really the masked man who caused the Nine-Tails Rebellion?"
The man with the tiger-striped mask also appeared after Uchiha Itachi became a chuunin.
Moreover, in front of him, he killed his teammates who fought alongside him and his few friends.
But sadly, facing the crushing strength, he could do nothing. He could only watch his friends voluntarily die trying to protect him.
This is also what caused him to open the Second Magatama Sharingan.
That scene has become an indelible shadow on him.
Even though several years have passed, it still appears in Uchiha Itachi's dreams.
"Itachi Uchiha!"
Yashiro Uchiha suppressed his anger and asked: "According to the intelligence we have received, the ANBU is closely monitoring us. Is this true or false?"
Itachi did not avoid it, looked at him and nodded: "It is true, the ANBU has indeed monitored us to a certain extent."
Since these guys came to question him, I guess they have a certain channel for information.
Even if the ANBU's actions are very secretive, the Uchiha clan are not fools after all, and they will always notice something is wrong.
Even if he wanted to hide it, he couldn't.
Before Yashiro could say anything, Itachi spoke again: "The ANBU monitors the family because there are frequent gatherings within the clan..."
When Uchiha Yashiro heard that he favored the top management of Konoha, his eyes immediately turned evil.
He sneered: "Itachi, don't forget, it was the family that raised you. You are now able to become an ANBU because the family gave you ninjutsu and resources."
"So, which side are you on? And will you support us in re-establishing a regime belonging to the Uchiha clan?"
Yashiro's attitude was very tough, and he even directly broke his face.
But the so-called establishment of the Uchiha regime was nothing more than a coup to seize power in Itachi's opinion.
In that case, not only would the Uchiha suffer heavy casualties, but it would also cause serious damage to the village.
It may even become a trigger for the outbreak of war.
"I am Itachi Uchiha and that will never change."
Itachi and Yashiro looked at each other with cold eyes.
"So, what were you doing on the day Shisui died?"
Itachi frowned and looked at him, and said solemnly: "I am performing an ANBU mission."
"What mission?"
"It's a village secret, I can't answer it."
When Yashiro heard this, he immediately laughed angrily and couldn't help but said in a strange tone: "Uchiha, Itachi? Why don't you change your surname to Sarutobi!"
Looking at the aggressive Yashiro, a trace of violence flashed in Itachi's eyes.
"Why don't you tell me what you have to say, you are doubting me!"
Seeing Uchiha Itachi openly showing off his face, Yashiro stopped pretending and said bluntly: "That's right, brat! Your inconsistent remarks make us very suspicious."
"Listen, Itachi Uchiha."
Behind Yashiro, Uchiha Tiehuo also warned with a serious face: "If you dare to betray the clan, I will never forgive you!"
"you……"
What else did Uchiha Inari want to say.
But Itachi could no longer tolerate these three idiots insulting him.
Bang! ! !
The Yashiro trio flew out of the house and fell heavily to the ground outside.
Itachi slowly walked out of the entrance hall, his face covered by his hanging hair.
"You keep talking about one clan, and you are arrogant when you say such things."
Uchiha Itachi stared at the three people on the ground and said with a gloomy expression: "You don't know the depth of my judgment, that's why I knocked you to the ground."
The Yashiro trio struggled to get up, raised their heads and shouted to Itachi with an annoyed look on their faces: "How dare you attack us!"
Hearing this, Itachi's whole body exuded a cold murderous aura.
Arrogant and stupid guy, why not...
"Stop! Itachi!"
Fugaku, who sensed the chaos, came from a distance. After he stopped him, he said with a bitter look on his face: "What's going on?"
Obviously, he has made up his mind to ease the relationship between father and son.
But seeing Itachi's indifferent and emotionless face, Fugaku felt ice-cold in his heart.
Itachi, what on earth are you thinking about?
"My courage has completely given up on this boring clan."
Bah! !
As he finished speaking, a kunai passed right by Yashiro's face.
Then he nailed it hard into the wall behind them.
It happened to hit the Uchiha clan emblem on the wall, with the kunai as the center, and the entire clan emblem cracked.
It seems to symbolize the complete separation between Uchiha Itachi and the Uchiha clan.
"Brother, stop it!"
Sasuke in the room didn't know when he was already standing outside the door.
Looking at his father and brother who were tit for tat, he felt sad.
At Sasuke's current age, he simply doesn't understand why his brother and father are on opposite sides.
Is there any problem that cannot be solved through communication?
When he heard his brother's cry, Uchiha Itachi, who was filled with murderous intent, finally came back to his senses.
The unfinished words were instantly stuck in his throat.
"Sasuke."
A flash of scarlet flashed in Uchiha Itachi's eyes.
But facing his father in front of him, there were Yashiro and three others.
Itachi slowly knelt on the ground, his hair on his temples covering the kaleidoscope rotating in his eyes.
"Sasuke, use your eyes to see clearly how shallow this clan is."
These arrogant, stupid and ignorant guys.
If left unchecked, they will surely pull Konoha down into the bottomless abyss of war in the process of self-destruction.
Until then...
Itachi slowly closed his eyes.
The future in his nightmare appeared before his eyes again.
The broken body, the flying flesh and blood, and countless residents wailing, the painful sound hit his heart and shocked his soul.
"No matter what I sacrifice, I will protect the peace of Konoha and protect Sasuke's future."
…………
At the same time, the Kurama clan’s clan.
brush! brush!
Two masked Anbu suddenly appeared in the Kurama tribe.
Looking at the burned-down mansion over there, the two looked at each other, and then walked there together.
But when they stepped into the mansion, they suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of disobedience, and subconsciously they became more vigilant.
"Two adults."
A voice suddenly appeared behind him.
The ANBU, which was already on alert, was suddenly frightened and instinctively attacked behind them.
Bang!
But it was easily blocked by an arm as hard as steel.
"What do you two mean by this?"
Kurama Congyun stood in front of the two of them and asked with a smile on his face.
The ANBU finally came to his senses.
He took a step back warily and distanced himself from Kurama Congyun.
"We received news that there was a strong chakra fluctuation in your Kurama tribe, and then a fire broke out inexplicably."
An ANBU said in a deep voice: "So let's come over and see if anything happened."
But that's not the real reason.
In fact, it was because they received intelligence that something strange seemed to have happened to the Kurama clan, and...
There are also suspicions of trying to start a rebellion.
However, the leader of the Anma clan, Anma Congyun, is a staunch dove.
Since he is still alive and not under control, the so-called rebellion must be just a misunderstanding.
"You two are worrying too much."
Kurama Congyun smiled and shook his head, with a kind attitude: "It's just that I had an accident while practicing ninjutsu and accidentally caused a fire."
Just an accident?
An ANBU politely asked with concern: "There are no casualties, right?"
Seeing that Kurama Congyun shook his head and said it was okay, another ANBU said: "Since it's nothing serious, then
We will go back and report the news to Hokage-sama. "
"Okay, thank you both for your concern."
The two ANBU said no more and turned to leave.
And just after they left.
Just where the two ANBU were standing just now, several figures were standing there.
From beginning to end, he stood there.
However, the two Anbu never discovered a few people from beginning to end.
As for the "pommel horse clouds" they saw...
It's just an illusion created by Kurama Yakumo using the Blood Succession Limit.
The real Kurama Congyun has been restricted from traveling.
Maybe he won't be released until he changes his mind.
And seeing the ANBU members being played with like puppets.
Kurama Yunhai also had chills all over his body, and a chill could not help but rise in his heart.
Those two ANBU were powerful jonins, yet they were deceived so easily.
"Is this the true power of Blood Succession Limit and Five Senses Control?"

…
Recently, some readers have commented that the plot is too watery.
But I really don’t have a hydrology QAQ
People write about heroines just for daily routines. I have never written about daily routines until now. Menma really doesn’t touch the ground QAQ
If I want to waste money, I will push the plot as hard as Fei Lu, let Menma crush the five major countries by himself, then crush Senju Hashirama, Uchiha Madara, and Otsutsuki Kaguya, and then finish it quickly and start a new book.
But if that were the case, I would have really gone too far.
I want to wait until later to write the big scene of the struggle for hegemony, so what I write now is all necessary. I have to make up for the setting of the original work, and the plot of the genocide has already begun. I want to reflect the reactions of all aspects of the incident. If you write everything down, you can’t jump directly to the night of genocide.
I am also very anxious, but I have no choice QAQ
All I can do is update as much as possible, but I’m afraid you’ll think I’m wasting money. I feel really bad QAQ
