In the evening, the Uchiha clan, Nanga Shrine.

A pair of scarlet eyes looked around, but they didn't find the figure they wanted to see. Several elite police officers were full of complaints.

"Uchiha Kagetsu, that guy didn’t attend the clan meeting?"

"Forget it. I didn't expect that guy to come. After all, he is the pillar of the Uchiha clan, a madman who is comparable to Uchiha Madara."

Several members of the police force kept complaining, their jealousy and resentment overflowing on the surface.

If Uchiha Kagetsu was willing to show up today, the Third Hokage would have kept those medical ninjas in the prison of the Konoha police force, and there would be no such a mess.

The bonfire flickered, crackling and splashing sparks. Fugaku lowered his eyes, and his ears were full of the Uchiha clan's dissatisfaction with the village.

Ever since the Uchiha clan was driven to the edge of the village, this dissatisfaction has been The opposition of many members of the clan has been growing day by day, especially since the relocation of the Hyuga branch.

Some members of the clan even think that the Hyuga branch is just a dog raised by Uchiha Kagetsu, and they want to rush over to show off their power.

However, Fugaku, the clan leader, and Kagetsu jointly resisted such behavior, which made the Uchiha clan members who were already holding back and wanted to vent their anger return empty-handed.

This conflict was also supported by the radical faction of the Uchiha clan. Although Fugaku was the clan leader, he was in the clan. They had to participate in it even when they were being coerced.

No one noticed that in the corner of the clan meeting, Uchiha Itachi watched coldly, but his thoughts went back to the day when the Third Ninja World War had not yet ended.

It was a tragic battlefield of killing, with Konoha, Kumogakure, and Iwagakure fighting.

Every minute and every second, the flames of detonating tags shot straight into the sky, and countless shurikens and kunai were like a storm.

Ninjas and ninjas kept waving kunai, and their eyes were filled with anger and hatred when they looked at each other.

Negative emotions were like a plague, spreading continuously on the battlefield of panic and boiling, and lives were constantly disappearing in ninjutsu and sharp blades.

War, endless war, over and over again, constantly repeating each other's situation on the battlefield.

Dark clouds swept across the sky, and the raindrops were cold and indifferent, washing the battlefield below that was dyed into a sea of blood, and all this made it difficult for the young Itachi to let go.

At the end of the war, Itachi wandered on the battlefield and personally killed an Iwagakure ninja who tried to kill him. The confusion in his eyes is still unforgettable.

"Father, why did he want to kill me?"

"This is the Ninja War......War between nations......"

During that war, Itachi, who was seeking the meaning of life, could not help but ask everyone who had a unique view on life.

"what is the meaning of life?"

"Life has no meaning unless it can be eternal. Human beings are such fragile and powerless creatures......."

The snake-like man smiled coldly and gave his answer in a low voice.

"Meaning itself represents nothingness, and is just a product of human creation, but as long as you survive, you will eventually find your goal, just like this troublesome snake."

The eyes under the demon fox mask seemed to be radiating kindness, and also gave another insight.

Similarly, Itachi, who wanted to find the meaning and goal of his life, met Shisui, who could really care for and guide him, and was regarded as his brother.

"The meaning of life? I don't know this profound question, but I just want to see that Konoha, which has been protected by predecessors and fathers, can embrace peace. I think this is my meaning."

Just like the dark soil getting a ray of morning light, Itachi, who had been hiding his heart, found the meaning of his existence at that moment.

Yes, peace is what people really should have.

Especially after the birth of little Sasuke, Itachi believed more and more from the bottom of his heart that a world without war is the world his brother should live in.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. The constant contradictions and conflicts between the Uchiha and the village quietly turned Itachi's hope into dust.

"I have understood the clan's demands. I will discuss this matter with Uchiha Kagetsu in person."

"If something like this happens again, the Hyuga branch will not stand idly by, so you should also restrain your attitude towards the Hyuga branch."

After giving his own answer and warning the Uchiha clan members, the clan meeting ended.

Just as Shisui and Fugaku said goodbye, Itachi, who was about to leave with his parents, suddenly felt his shoulders sink. He saw his father smiling and telling him a piece of news that surprised him.

"Itachi, the Hokage wants to recruit you into the Anbu. We'll discuss this in detail when we get home. Let's go."

It was late at night, the moonlight was obscured by dark clouds, the lights were dim and distorted, and the candlelight was swaying.

The atmosphere was depressing, and there was a hint of dullness in the air.

Finally, Fugaku spoke first, breaking the silence in the room.

"You are indeed my son. You were promoted to Chunin at the age of ten, and now you are favored by the Anbu. You are amazing, but you are still a long way from being a real pillar of the Uchiha clan."

His words were very gratifying, but there was no real happiness in his tone, especially when it came to the Anbu, the haze in his eyes became even heavier.

"The Anbu are not like ordinary ninjas who perform missions. Only the elite can be favored by the Hokage and Danzo, the chief instructor."

"However, there is one thing I want to make clear in advance. You are not only the future ANBU ninja, but also the bridge of communication between Konoha and Uchiha. As soon as the words came out, Itachi, who was already somewhat dissatisfied with Uchiha's attitude, was inexplicably stunned.

"As you can see, the Uchiha clan has become very restless now, but the harm caused by war is mutual. I am also looking for the reason for the village and the clan to live in harmony."

"Now, the village and the Uchiha clan lack a bridge of communication. You are my son, and you are also the Uchiha Itachi of the clan. This important task will fall on you."

Fugaku had not yet noticed that a trace of imperceptible loss flashed across Uchiha Itachi's eyes, but he still nodded and promised.

"Yes, father."

‘One clan, one clan. Your Sharingan can only see the Uchiha clan, father.......’

At the same time, in Uchiha Huayue's mansion

"The Uchiha clan and the Third Hokage had a conflict. Don't worry, one of the two sides will always give in. This is the tone of maintaining peace."

"If you frown too much, you will get old. What's bothering you?"

The black hair like a waterfall spreads across her chest, and there is a hint of helplessness in her eyes as bright as rubies.

Leaning against her side, Xihi Hong tells her about her troubles.

"It's the child of the Kurama family. The Kurama family is good at illusions, but there are no ninjas proficient in illusions in the family now. The head of the Kurama family wants me to be the teacher of that child......."
