The Uchiha Clan Chief's Courtyard.
Cabin hall.
Sasuke sat in the hall to eat with the charming Mikoto. Since Itachi joined the ANBU, Fugaku was busy with clan work, and the family rarely had a serious dinner.
snap——
The wooden door was gently pushed open.
Itachi carried the ninja sword on his back and the fox mask in his hand, put on his clogs outside the door, and returned home.
"Brother, would you like to train ninjutsu with me tomorrow evening? That guy Bai Yu is already on the same level as Mr. Iruka. If I don't work hard..."
Sasuke put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, ran towards the door and threw himself into Itachi's arms.
Mikoto saw this scene.
She narrowed her eyes and smiled.
Fulfilling the duties of a mother, she clears the food on the table alone, leaving the hall to the close brothers.
Itachi looked at his younger brother in front of him, raised his head with a smile, raised his right hand, stretched out his index and middle fingers, touched his younger brother's forehead, gently pushed him away, and said softly: "Forgive me, Sasuke, next time!"
While talking.
Itachi unloaded his heavy equipment and had a busy day. He just got off work and all he wanted to do was take a shower and go back to the bedroom to rest. Next time, it would be his turn to monitor the clan's sacrificial meeting, and it was another day that made him worried.
at this time.
"Itachi, follow me!" Fugaku walked slowly into the hall with a sullen face from outside the door.
He deliberately waited at the street corner for a long time.
Itachi went home and Fugaku came back.
"Is father off work too?" Sasuke shouted happily, holding their hands respectively, and said excitedly: "Our family hasn't gone out to play together for a long time. How about a picnic at the lower reaches of the Nanhe River tomorrow and Sunday?"
"Sasuke, you go back to the bedroom first."
There was no emotion in Fugaku's words.
Sasuke's eyes trembled.
Smell something.
His mood gradually became helpless and lost. He let go of his brother and father's hands and walked towards the corridor with his head lowered. But when he got out of the door, he did not leave. Instead, he squatted outside the door and observed the situation in the hall.
Itachi lowered his head and followed Fugaku to the middle of the hall without asking.
The two stood looking at each other.
Fugaku said coldly without any doubt:
"Kneel down!!!"
Itachi raised his head suddenly, his eyes revealing confusion.
But noticed something.
Sasuke's pupils outside the door were trembling as he watched his brother standing in the hall slowly kneeling in front of his father. Then, his father fastened the leather belt under his vest.
Snapped--
A crisp sound echoed from the top of the wooden roof beams.
Sasuke shivered.
He was so frightened that he fell to the ground.
in the hall.
Fugaku's mind was full of images of Itachi massacring the clan. He tightened his belt, walked behind Itachi, and without mercy, aimed hard at his eldest son's back, and whipped it violently without holding back at all.
Snap—pop—pop—
"Uh...ah..."
Itachi endured the severe pain in his back, sweating profusely, and knelt on the wooden floor. He didn't know why, but he gritted his teeth and persisted in the whipping from his father, not daring to resist in any way, and screamed loudly in pain.
The back was whipped by the hard belt.
Bloody and bloody.
Itachi did not release chakra to resist, and lay collapsed on the wooden floor, unable to move.
The more Fugaku beat him, the more he felt it was not enough. He picked up the wooden table at home and smashed it hard on the curled up weasel's sin-stained hands.
Bang——
"ah!!!!!"
Itachi couldn't hold it back anymore and screamed, his hands and forearms making a crisp sound, but it was drowned out by the sound of the wooden table shattering.
The wooden table disintegrates.
Sawdust flew everywhere.
Fugaku's eyes were red, he was gritting his teeth angrily, his face was twisted, and the belt in his hand showed no intention of stopping.
"Fugaku, what are you doing?"
Mikoto heard something strange.
I didn't have time to take off my apron, so I walked quickly from the kitchen to the hall.
See this scene in the lobby.
She was instantly stunned and immediately stepped forward to stop him, hugging Fugaku's right hand tightly with her weak body.
Sasuke ran in from the door, crying and holding his father's left hand, crying miserably: "Father, stop fighting... Brother, what happened to him? If you want to fight, fight me too!"
Fugaku sighed.
He threw the blood-stained belt in front of Itachi, looked at the panicked and worried faces of his wife and youngest son, reached out and patted his wife's soft shoulder, and breathed a sigh of relief: "He deserves it."
After saying that, Fugaku glanced at Itachi angrily like a stranger, stretched out his hand to rub Sasuke's head, kicked Itachi on the back, and walked to the bedroom without looking back.
"Are you okay, Itachi?" As a mother, Mikoto felt heartbroken. She came to her eldest son, checked his wounds, and asked anxiously.
Itachi was trembling all over, unable to move his hands. He put his face on the ground and shook his head with his remaining strength.
He was spanked by his father.
On the contrary, he felt at ease inside.
Just like a child who did something wrong and was given a hard education by his parents and received the punishment he deserved, he will take the initiative to let go of himself.
In the past, Itachi rarely had such opportunities.
Is this a warning from my father?
Itachi didn't know, he closed his eyes and passed out. What he knew was that with his injury, he would definitely not be able to carry out ANBU missions in the future.
…
…
Just now.
The pitiful screams came from Itachi in the patriarch's courtyard.
Qiu Huimei and Yashiro, who lived nearby, could hear clearly while sitting in their respective wooden houses. Other neighbors stuck their heads out of the windows one after another, looking at the center of the clan with great confusion.
"Haha... I also want to give that boy a good beating with my own hands!"
Qiu Huimei recalled the moment when Itachi brutally killed her clan members, and her heart burned with anger. She slowly stood up and trampled the seat behind her into wood chips with one kick.
But now is not the time to get angry.
After Qiu Huimei calmed down, she took out a list from her arms that Yashiro had given her before the meeting. She still had very important things to do tonight.
The end of the Uchiha clan.
cabin.
Bai Yu, who was sitting in the bedroom calculating, also heard the screams that came from the clan, but he was not interested in it and continued to calculate silently in his mind.
Because of Itachi's whining.
It is his masterpiece.
This is the prelude!
The rise of Uchiha officially kicked off from Itachi's first scream.
Bai Yu stared at the dark night scene outside the bedroom window, thinking in his heart that Uchiha would escape from Konoha and finalize every step of the plan. However, the nature of the situation was changing rapidly. Even if he knew the plot, he was not 100% sure of winning every step.
all in all.
The most important first step was to finalize the plan before the meeting ended.
Will be implemented tomorrow.
Bai Yu is training and worried about the fate of Uchiha. He was so careless in his previous life, why can't he become a CEO and reach the peak of his career and marry Bai Fumei.
Do you want to say that you didn’t die in your previous life?
That's okay.
Bai Yu fell into a deep sleep amid random thoughts.
…
…
The next day.
Sunday.
Bai Yu gave himself a holiday. After breakfast early in the morning, he sat outside the gate and waited quietly for something to happen. He waited from about seven to eight o'clock.
The time point when the villagers of Konoha Village wake up.
There was a strange movement in the Uchiha clan.
It was rare for the security forces to be mobilized collectively in the clan area. Led by Yashiro, senior security forces such as Inahuo and Tetsuo, together with their subordinates, broke into the wooden houses of more than a dozen Uchiha families and captured a group of singles who basically had no relatives. An adult Uchiha clan member.
Yashiro used the excuse of "catching spies".
In front of other tribesmen, these people were arrested and claimed to be taken back for investigation to calm the tribesmen's doubts.
last night.
Qiu Huimei conducted a personnel screening based on the list of spies placed in the family by some villages that Yashiro had figured out long ago. While the clan's sacrificial meeting was over, she arranged for her confidants to keep an eye on the more than 100 core members of the Uchiha who met last night.
Good harvest.
All night long.
Qiu Huimei captured many clan spies who wanted to pass on the contents of last night's sacrificial meeting to the Root Organization and Konoha's top brass.
These Uchiha people are basically hopeless, single men with nothing to do.
Induced by root tissue and high layers of wood leaves.
Some simple interests, or the so-called modest stability, can make these people betray their families.
This is the first link in Bai Yu's plan.
Stabilize the interior of the Uchiha.
He made an operation that confused Konoha's top brass.
Even people like Itachi and Shisui can be used by the Third Generation and Danzo. There are no low-level spies in the Uchiha clan. If you tell me, who will believe it?
This catch.
Sure enough, we caught a lot of fish that slipped through the net.
