Time finally came to night.

The sky became dark, the setting sun dotted the dusk, and a faint hint of spring quietly disappeared on the earth in the hazy night.

Night falls.

The huge curtain squeezed away the remaining sun and gradually filled the sky. Countless stars broke through the night curtain and poked their heads out. The moisture of the night slowly soaked in the air, spreading an extraordinary silence.

There were not many clouds that night, so everything in the sky appeared very clear. In the boundless sky, a huge full moon hung high, like a round jade plate. The silver-white moonlight shone from the jade plate.

It spreads on the plate, lightly and thinly, coating everything below with a layer of silver-white brilliance.

At this moment, unlike the lively night scenes in other parts of Konoha, there was a bit of silence in the Uchiha residence. There were not many people walking on the wide road at all, and the surrounding shops had already closed their doors.

It seemed deserted, and only the houses with lights on them showed a bit of popularity.

At this moment, Uchiha Fugaku was sitting cross-legged alone in the closed main room, meditating with his eyes closed.

His wife Mikoto is not at home right now, his eldest son Itachi is on a mission in ANBU, and his younger son Sasuke is in school and has not finished school yet, so at this time, only Fugaku is at home alone.

He didn't turn on the light because too bright a light would disrupt his thoughts, so he just stayed in the dark alone, thinking in this silent and dark room.

This has been his long-standing habit. Thinking quietly alone in the dark can help him calm his restless mind and clarify his thoughts.

But over this period of time, the effect of this method has become weaker and weaker. Just like now, no matter how hard I try to calm down, there are still waves of inexplicable irritability rising from the bottom of my heart.

My finally calm mood was thrown into chaos.

After another failure, Uchiha Fugaku opened his eyes and sighed slowly. He knew that he would never be able to return to the peaceful time he had a long time ago.

In other words, since he accidentally became the leader of the coup, Uchiha Fugaku has never slept well for a day. From that day on, as the day of the coup approaches day by day, his mood has been in a state of confusion.

An anxious state. He was always worried, worried about Konoha, worried about Uchiha, worried about his family, and at the same time worried about his future.

It's not that he doesn't know the dangers of the coup. Whether it succeeds or fails, Konoha and Uchiha will suffer a big blow. But he has no choice. As the leader of the Uchiha clan, he needs to serve the interests of Uchiha.

And when almost the entire Uchiha's interests are opposed to Konoha, even he, as the clan leader, cannot calm down the gunpowder jars in the clan that are about to explode.

Therefore, he did not stop those voices in the clan clamoring for rebellion, but actively participated in it. However, as the date of the coup came further, Uchiha Fugaku felt as if there was a heavy shadow hanging over Uchiha, as if

It was like a thick layer of mist, heavy and heavy, making people feel breathless.

He frowned and took a deep breath. Ever since the news of the Sannin's return spread to the clan, the vague premonition in his mind had become a little more serious. He suddenly doubted his original decision.

Coup, such a heavy word, is simple to say, but it exudes a strong smell of blood and smoke of the battlefield, and also represents destruction and death. He can imagine how many people will belong to Konoha at the moment the coup begins.

And Uchiha's life disappeared.

Is it really necessary to do this?

Uchiha Fugaku suddenly asked himself, is it really necessary for Uchiha and Konoha to go to war?

No one answered him, not even he himself could get an answer to this question.

Uchiha Fugaku shook his head, a complicated look flashed in his eyes.

Boom...boom...boom...boom...

At this time, suddenly there was a slow and crisp sound of footsteps in the corridor outside the door.

"Is it Itachi?"

Uchiha Fugaku asked loudly.

The walking sound of his wife Mikoto was soft and slow, the walking sound of the second son Sasuke was chaotic, but the sound that appeared in the corridor was neat, steady and thick.

In this family, there is only one person who can make such footsteps, and that is the eldest son, Uchiha Itachi, who once made him extremely proud, but now has become extremely complicated.

His footsteps were just like himself, steady, calm and orderly.

The footsteps got closer and closer, and stopped at the door.

"Father."

A dull reply came from outside the door. Just as Uchiha Fugaku thought, the person outside the door was his eldest son Uchiha Itachi.

They are both sons. Sasuke calls Fugaku "Dad", while Itachi calls Fugaku "Father". Different titles naturally lead to different degrees of closeness. Compared with "Dad", "Father" seems stiff.

Many of them emphasize a superior-subordinate relationship rather than a simple family relationship.

A simple title can clearly show the alienation between Itachi and Fugaku.

"Are you back?" Uchiha Fugaku stood up and turned on the light above his head. Suddenly, the room became brightly lit.

"You came back really late today. Do you have a special mission?"

As he spoke, he walked towards the door.

"Yes."

Outside the door, Itachi's voice was still unhurried, simple and clear.

"What do you want from me? You..." Uchiha Fugaku asked as he opened the door. Before he could finish speaking, his voice suddenly solidified.

Seeing the situation outside the door, Uchiha Fugaku's pupils suddenly shrank, and an imperceptible look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

It turned out that Itachi was not the only one standing outside the door. Next to Itachi, there was another person who shouldn't be there.

The third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Long time no see, Fugaku."

Sarutobi Hiruzen at the door showed a kind smile and greeted.

"…………"

Uchiha Fugaku did not speak or take any drastic action. Sarutobi Hiruzen came alone without any subordinates, so he was not sure yet what the purpose of his visit was.

"What? Won't you invite me in and sit down?" Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled, showing a gentle smile again.

"Hokage-sama, please come in." Uchiha Fugaku took a step back and greeted somewhat stiffly. He didn't know why Sarutobi Hiruzen came, but he knew that now was not the time to break up with the Hokage.

"Itachi, I'm leaving this to you."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded to Itachi, and then strolled into the house. Behind him, Itachi closed the door and stood guard at the door to ensure that the conversation between the two would not be disturbed by the outside world.

"Hokage-sama is here late at night. Do you want to have sex with you?"

The two walked to the tatami in the center of the room and sat down cross-legged. Uchiha Fugaku asked.

"I just want to have a good chat with you."

Sarutobi Hiruzen explained earnestly that since the Nine-Tails incident, there seemed to be an invisible wall between Uchiha and Konoha, and they had never had such a deep conversation face to face again.

"Yeah?"

A glint flashed in Uchiha Fugaku's eyes, and he had already keenly sensed something in Sarutobi Hiruzen's solemn tone.

His eyes swept over Sarutobi Hiruzen, then looked towards the door, staying at the dark shadow on the paper door for a few seconds before looking back again.

"It seems that he still chose your side..."

Uchiha Fugaku sighed. He had never been a fool. From the Third Hokage's personal visit in the evening, coupled with the heavy tone, and considering Itachi's previous abnormal behavior, many things were actually self-evident.

Uchiha Fugaku was now almost certain that Hiruzen Sarutobi was aware of the coup plan that the Uchiha clan was secretly preparing.

At this moment, he suddenly felt confused. He was not sure what the meaning of Hiruzen Sarutobi's visit tonight was, although he felt that the other party did not have any ill intentions when he came today. After all, if Hiruzen Sarutobi had bad intentions, he would not

Appeared openly and openly in front of him.

However, Uchiha Fugaku also knew clearly that from the moment Sarutobi Hiruzen stood in front of him, the Uchiha clan's coup plan could basically fail, because the plan they planned was to take advantage of Konoha's lack of attention.

A sneak attack tactic can be implemented, but judging from the current situation, a sneak attack is definitely impossible. It is already considered good without being counterattacked. Without the advantage of first move, how can Uchiha defeat the powerful Konoha?

Thinking of this, Uchiha Fugaku's heart sank. He realized that Uchiha seemed to have reached a dead end.

"No, you are wrong. Itachi is not on our side..." Opposite him, Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and replied: "He is just on the side of peace."

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not hide the fact that he knew about Uchiha's rebellion, because the purpose of his coming today was to have a frank talk with Uchiha. Since it was frank, then of course everything had to be stated openly.

"Peace..." Uchiha Fugaku looked sad. If possible, he wouldn't want peace. However, is peace so easy to get?

"It's too late..." He sighed and murmured in a low voice. He probably knew the purpose of Hiruzen Sarutobi's visit now.

He expected to be able to convince Uchiha through himself...

However, Uchiha Fugaku said that this possibility basically does not exist.

"It's too late."

Uchiha Fugaku said solemnly.

If after the Nine-Tails Incident seven years ago, Sarutobi Hiruzen could have had a long talk with him like tonight, maybe everything would still have time to change, but today, after seven years of friction,

and entanglements, the internal situation of the Uchiha clan is no longer something that he, Uchiha Fugaku, can have the final say on alone. Even if he tells the truth that Konoha already knows about the Uchiha rebellion, I am afraid that he will not be able to stop the coup, but will be defeated.

It's more likely.

The current Uchiha do not trust Konoha Village at all, so no matter what assurances Konoha makes, they cannot believe it. How can two groups that are suspicious of each other have real peace?

Therefore, it can be said that the coup is imminent and has to be launched. Even if Uchiha Fugaku intends to stop it, the young and strong faction of the clan will launch a coup alone. When the time comes, even if they are reluctant, the remaining Uchiha will

Forced to be dragged into the whirlpool of this war.

This is no longer something that can be changed by personal will, but is the breaking point of the conflict between the entire younger generation of Uchiha and Konoha.

"Of course there's still time." Compared to Uchiha Fugaku, Sarutobi Hiruzen was much more optimistic. He sat up straight and said sternly: "As long as you join forces with me, there will be time."

As the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen certainly knows where the main conflict between the Uchiha clan and Konoha comes from. Except for some doubts buried during the Second Hokage period, most of the conflicts originated after the Uchiu-Kyuubi incident.

Konoha Village's suspicion and distrust of Uchiha.

To untie the bell, you must tie the bell. Since you want to solve the problem between Uchiha and Konoha, of course you have to start from the root.

First, the main contradiction between the two must be transferred into a secondary contradiction.

"Fugaku..." Sarutobi Hiruzen looked into Uchiha Fugaku's eyes, with a trace of request and expectation in his eyes, and said sincerely: "Please...believe in me again."
