Betrayal Has a Terrible Start

"Yeah." Sasuke nodded vigorously, happily responding to the words of his father, Uchiha Fugaku.

Itachi smiled unconcernedly, just touched Sasuke's head gently, and silently added in his heart: Work hard, Sasuke.

Looking at Itachi and Sasuke in harmony, Uchiha Fugaku felt a sense of mission, as well as a sense of responsibility as the head of the family and the head of the family.

Just thinking about what happened recently, can't help but worry.

After dinner, it was almost dark.

Sasuke fell asleep in his room early.

In the study, Uchiha Fuyue was used to sitting here thinking about problems by himself after he was in trouble.

It's quiet enough here, with only the lights on.

After a while, the door was pushed open, and a figure walked in.

"It's Itachi, it's so late, haven't you fallen asleep yet?" Uchiha Fuyue asked strangely.

"Dad, what's on your mind? Mom talked to you during dinner, and you answered absentmindedly," Itachi said.

"I'm still as sharp as ever, Itachi. As a member of Hokage's direct line of Anbu, you shouldn't explain this kind of thing to you." Uchiha Fuyue said.

"Dad, I'm no longer a child. As your son, I have the responsibility to know the answer. I've noticed some changes in the family these days. Please tell me, what happened in the family?" asked.

"Itachi, did you know?" Uchiha Fuyue said suddenly after being silent for a while.

"what?"

"Sometimes, I don't think you are like an eleven-year-old child. You are too mature, and it's a bit scary to be mature." Uchiha Tomiya sighed.

Itachi froze for a moment, then didn't speak.

"When did you find out?"

"About half a month ago."

"It was about that time that Zhishui was discovered."

"Brother Zhishui?" Itachi opened his eyes wide.

Speaking of which, it's true that I haven't met Shishui for more than half a month.

Anbu's duties are busy, and it is normal to not meet each other for ten days and a half months. In addition, Zhishui is the captain of the dark part, and his duties are even more onerous.

Itachi thought that it was caused by Anbu's position. Now, it may not be just this level, but there are more critical issues.

"You know, Itachi. You and Shisui are both indispensable members of the Uchiha clan, able to jump beyond the limitations of the family and consider the future of the village. However, I value your talents more than Shisui. Shisui. Your temperament is too upright, while you are good at hiding and thinking. You, who also joined Anbu, chose a different way to deal with the problems of the village and family."

"..." Itachi bowed his head, not knowing what to say.

"Let's put it this way, Itachi. If one day in the future, the family and the village are on opposite sides, who will you help? Will you help the family and the village fight, or help the village to destroy our family?"

Uchiha Fuyue's gaze, like a sharp blade, penetrated all of Itachi's thoughts.

Itachi was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect his father to say such a thing and ask such a question?

No, Itachi never considered this possibility.

Without him, the relationship between the Uchiha family and Konoha's senior management has been warmed up, and no matter what, it will not be so troublesome.

"Sorry, I didn't think about such a thing."

"Sometimes, I hope you can start from the perspective of the village. After all, Konoha was also created by the ancestors of our Uchiha family. However, I also hope that you can think more about the family. From the perspective of the village, It is not for you to completely abandon the family. Similarly, from the perspective of the family, it is not for you to harm the interests of the village and cause divisions. Every family is an individual, and Konoha is the home that accommodates these individuals and belongs to us. People's homeland. Itachi, you have to understand that the so-called maturity does not mean growth, it may also go to an extreme. "

"Yes." Itachi replied eloquently.

"Half a month ago, Shisui noticed some changes in the family, and reported to Hokage-sama on the same day. Anbu has adopted a surveillance policy against the Uchiha clan again. Shisui does not know what you think, so during this period, he did not want to To meet you so as not to ruin your friendship."

Regarding the practice of stopping the water, Uchiha Fuyue didn't know whether to cry or laugh at this time.

Should be despised, or should be admired.

Maybe both.

On the contrary, Itachi noticed the change, just buried it in his heart and didn't say it, and went to find the answer by himself.

In Uchiha Fuyue's view, both of them have problems.

Shishui is too upright, and the Uchiha clan will immediately spread from Shishui's mouth to Konoha's high-level ears.

And his son Itachi was too confident, or 'arrogant', he carried it on his own, went to find the problem by himself, and solved it.

"What happened to the family?" Itachi asked aloud after being silent for a moment.

Although he sensed that the family's atmosphere had become wrong, he couldn't tell the specifics. In addition, Anbu's business was busy recently, and he didn't have time to investigate.

He needs to figure out the root of the problem before he can give an answer that fits his heart.

"Some shady scenes in the shadows of Konoha, about our Uchiha clan, and the darkest history among the high-level Konoha."

Facing Itachi's question, Uchiha Fuyue's eyes flashed, and finally, he announced the answer to Itachi with a heavy tone.

Chapter 96 Itachi: There is only one truth

"Dark...history?"

After hearing Uchiha Fuyue's answer, Itachi was stunned, with a little doubt on his face.

After the end of the Third Ninja World War, the Uchiha clan and the senior officials of Konoha restored their friendship, the relationship warmed up, and there was the support of the Hokage faction.

When Itachi joined Anbu, there was no big contradiction, and the senior officials of Konoha also trust the Uchiha family more now, and there is not much dissatisfaction.

Therefore, all Itachi knows about the family's past is very one-sided.

"That was a long time ago. It still happened during the second Hokage period. I heard many things from the mouth of the clan elders, as well as some shady stories from the family's historical documents."

"Second Hokage period? That should have been more than thirty years ago, or an even longer time." Itachi said.

When the second-generation Hokage Qianshou Tobirama passed away, he was already about fifty years old. Although the second-generation Hokage ruled Konoha for only about ten years, it laid an extremely solid foundation for Konoha's combat readiness.
