Konoha’s Thief Hand

"Great Fireball Technique?"

Uchiha Fugaku glanced at the second son, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Father, brother has always been busy, do you have time to guide me?"

Sasuke clenched his fist and gathered courage, his face filled with expectation when he asked.

"Now I'm very busy."

However, Uchiha Fugaku hesitated for a while or refused, and then his sight shifted from the second son to the eldest son.

"Take Sasuke out. When you come back, go to the study to find me. I have something to ask you."

"Yes, father." Itachi nodded.

Immediately, he took Sasuke and left the house.

Walking on the streets of the Uchiha clan, Itachi couldn't help but fall into contemplation, wondering what his father was going to tell him, was it about those things in the clan? If so, should I persuade him to correct the dangerous thinking of the tribe?

He wanted to get absorbed by himself, but as for Sasuke's slightly resentful murmur, he didn't care at all.

After all, the younger brother is still a child, and he will complain about not getting his father's attention. Of course he can only tolerate him as an older brother, although he is not angry or even finds it funny.

Sasuke soon discovered this situation, but he was a little ashamed of that careful thought, so he lowered his head and kicked the pebble, but calmed down.

The two brothers kept quiet, and when they left the Uchiha clan, the atmosphere seemed to quietly become lively.

Of course, Sasuke didn't notice this, just as he didn't know the undercurrents in the clan, but Itachi was very sensitive to this, and he took his thoughts back, and his eyes flashed with an imperceptible disappointment.

He has been on the battlefield since he was a child, and he has a higher level of thinking that surpasses the people of the clan. He is both disgusted and worried about the current situation in the clan. Even the place called the family makes him feel depressed and uncomfortable from time to time.

"Huh!~"

Taking a deep breath, Itachi's eyes seemed to have a ray of light and vitality.

"There are so many people in the meatball shop."

Before entering the shop, the noisy atmosphere came out, Sasuke pouted and walked in, and it turned out that the shop was full of people.

"Guests, please wait for a while. If you neglect the guests, there will be gifts in the small shop."

Seeing the two brothers entering the store, the diligent clerk wiped off his sweat and greeted him with a smile.

"Thank you." Itachi nodded politely.

The customer's good temper made the clerk breathe a sigh of relief. He glanced toward the shop, but found that there was no Karakura, and his expression was a bit awkward.

"Don't bother, I saw acquaintances."

Itachi's personality is more mature, of course he can see the embarrassment of the clerk, and he happened to have seen an acquaintance.

Saying he is an acquaintance, he is actually closer than that, but since he was named a genius, he has been given higher expectations by the Uchiha people, and he also hopes that one day he will have the opportunity to change the status quo, so he doesn’t know it. I didn't realize that I was alienated, and now I reunited here, I only felt a special feeling surging under my chest.

"Acquaintance? Where is it?"

When Sasuke heard Itachi's words, he began to search in the store, and then paused on the girl with beautiful long black hair.

"Brother, is that her?" Sasuke looked at Itachi and asked, "Youyu Chiha's clan emblem is on the clothes."

"Well, let's go over and say hello."

Itachi touched Sasuke's head and led him over.

The girl sitting alone in the corner eating meatballs was fascinated, thinking of the old days and the teenagers who are fading away in her mind.

And at this moment, a familiar and unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded in her ear, and the plain tone seemed to carry a slight joy, and it seemed to be just an illusion.

"Long time no see, punch."

The girl immediately looked up and followed the sound. The memory and reality merged together, giving her a sense of trance that her dream turned into reality, and she only responded subconsciously.

"Long time no see, Itachi-kun."

The young girls smiled at each other, and their eyes showed inexplicable brilliance, which was obviously different from the past.

...

Today’s practice Sasuke is very serious, but the learning of the Great Fireball Technique is very difficult, and his Chakra volume is not enough to perform this trick. Of course, there is also a very important reason, that is, my brother only cares about chatting with friends, so there is no Guide him seriously, so he didn't learn it.

That's right, that's it!

Hearing that his elder brother had successfully learned the Great Fireball Technique once, he would never admit that his talent is worse than his elder brother.

So when he got home, no matter how his mother asked him, he didn't say that his cultivation was not going well today, especially in front of his father with a serious expression.

But because he ran out of Chakra, he had a surprisingly good appetite during dinner, and he even ate two bowls of rice in a row.

As night fell, in the dead of night, Itachi came to the study and was about to knock on the door.

"come in."

Before he could knock it down, Uchiha Fugaku's voice came from inside.

"Yes."

He answered, opened the door and walked in.

The light in the study was dim, shining on Uchiha Fugaku's body, and then casting a shadow on the wall.

"Wait for a while, that's it." Uchiha Fugaku said without looking up.

Hearing the words, Itachi didn't bother, just waited silently, his eyes swept across the scroll that was spread out on the desk, and his pupils could not be constricted by the content of the dots on it.

"Elders", "Secret Meeting", "Signs" and "Seen with His Eyes" words like this came into view, making him involuntarily think of the situation in the clan.

At this time, the father was obviously looking at the recent report of the situation in the clan, and as a ninja who had entered Anbu, of course he knew that he wanted to collect these. Someone must do it specially, but the father collects these, or more directly, the father monitors. What are the intentions and thoughts of the dynamics within the clan?

His thoughts were surging, but the surface was still calm as usual, quietly waiting for Fugaku to finish reading the scroll in his hand.

Uchiha Fugaku looked at the information in the scroll quietly, without missing a word, but the more he looked at his brows, the tighter his brows became, and the darker his eyes became.

The real rights of the clan are all held by the elders. Although he is the patriarch of Uchiha, even the second and third elders can point fingers at him. In major matters, he only has the power to propose, as to whether he is obedient and absorbed. , It depends on the meaning of the great elder.

But even so, he was still able to accept that after his unintentional loss in the selection process of the Fourth Generation in the past, his desire for power has been extinguished, but he never thought that the elder would bypass him and plot matter.

As the patriarch of Uchiha, he does not have all the power of the Master, but the responsibility has always been borne. Now the elder bypassed him and led Uchiha to a dangerous path, and he was finally out of anger.
