Betrayal Has a Terrible Start

"Itachi, what have you been doing lately?"

Hearing his father's serious tone, Sasuke lowered his head and looked at Itachi secretly, but what he wanted to say was stopped by Uchiha Fugaku's stern eyes.

"Nothing." Itachi said nonchalantly.

"You didn't even come to the recent clan meeting."

"There's something wrong with Anbu."

"Don't fool my father, Hokage-sama said that you left Anbu early. There is a total of three hours of blank space. Who did you meet?"

Uchiha Fuyue put down the bowls and chopsticks, clasped his hands on his chest, and his eyes were sharp and scary.

"Itachi, don't make your father angry." Uchiha Mikoto looked at Itachi worriedly.

"What does Dad want to know?" Itachi lowered his head, his expression unchanged.

"To do well as a family..."

"I understand, Dad, I won't let you down, don't always teach me a lesson from one family to another."

Itachi responded to his father's words indifferently, with a very casual tone.

"Itachi, you—"

Real fire appeared on Uchiha Fuyue's face.

"Dad, don't do this, brother he-"

"Shut up, Sasuke, your brother is no longer a child. After dinner, go back to your room and do your homework."

Sasuke still wanted to speak, but when he saw his mother Uchiha Mikoto's eyes, he had to bow his head and go back to the room.

"So, your big brother with serious eye bags quarreled with your father again?"

On the way to school the next morning, Naruto, who was already seven years old, with blond and hearty broken hair, held milk in one hand and a piece of bread in the other, and looked at Sasuke next to him.

"Yeah, Dad said that my brother seems to be doing things that are not good for the village, but he is obviously very gentle." Sasuke pouted in dissatisfaction.

"Do you want me to ask for you, maybe my dad knows something?" Naruto volunteered.

"No need, Lord Naruto is busy every day." Sasuke knows the importance, it's really inappropriate to bother Lord Naruto or something, and this is a matter of the Uchiha family.

"It's not very busy. Seeing that he prepares three meals a day at home on time every day, he should have a little free time."

"I don't want it anymore. I believe that my brother will not do anything that is sorry for the family and the village. It must be my father who made a mistake." Sasuke is unusually stubborn in this regard.

"That's really good, brother or something. I want a brother and sister or something, too."

Naruto threw the milk box into the trash can, put his hands behind his head, his blue eyes looked up to the sky, and his thoughts drifted to nowhere.

"Also, you and I are competitors, and the first place in this test must be me. My brother said that if I get the first place in the actual battle, I promise to give me a gift. Prepare yourself mentally, Naruto."

Sasuke looked at Naruto's eyes full of fighting spirit.

Naruto's expression changed slightly, and he continued to look at the sky.

First place... Forget it, let's put some water this time...

Dad also said that a good boy is a good boy who is willing to help people.

It's not because I got the first place and I didn't get a gift.

Damn, the world owes me a good brother!

—————————

I don't know when, the atmosphere in the clan seems to have changed.

Since the disbandment of the garrison, Sasuke has noticed something unusual.

The smiles of the uncles and aunts on the street became less, and the expressions on the faces of the Uchiha clansmen they saw were the same as usual, but Sasuke, who was sharp-minded, could still see the inexplicable emotions hidden in their eyes.

What are the adults doing?

In the entire Uchiha clan, it seems that only children who are not ninjas are still playing around, and they don't see anything unusual.

Sasuke, who was on the playground of the ninja school, looked up at the sky, a dark cloud floated in the distance, and an ominous foreboding occurred in his heart.

Think more.

It doesn't matter, if I get the first place in today's test, my brother will accompany me to practice and will also give me a gift.

I will not fail.

Thinking of this, Sasuke's face perked up again, full of confidence.

Today is an important day for Uchiha.

But Zhishui is in a particularly good mood, because of the long-standing estrangement, today will be a perfect ending.

Of course, there are also unsatisfactory places.

The meeting with Itachi is less and less, and every time we meet, it is only a few words, and it is no longer as chatty as before.

Moreover, Itachi's whereabouts have become very mysterious within this year.

The Anbu mission is over. It is a single-player mission. It just goes out of the village and destroys the surrounding robbers. It can be completed soon. After completing this mission, Zhishui returns to Konoha at the fastest speed in the big forest outside Konoha.

At this time, Zhishui suddenly sensed something, and someone came over.

Zhi Shui consciously hid behind a tree, and saw a figure flashing by quickly from the remote path, and it disappeared in a blink of an eye, and the speed was quite fast.

That's... itachi! ?

Zhishui observed the appearance of the person coming from behind the tree. He was wearing Anbu costumes, wearing a mask, a short figure, and the blooming three-gou jade writing round eyes, all of which revealed the identity of this person.

Among the Uchiha clan, the only people who can join Anbu are he and Itachi.

What is the weasel going to do?

Why go out of the village at this time?

Tonight is a major event for the Uchiha clan, neither the patriarch nor Hokage-sama can let Itachi leave the village.
