Naruto: The Whirlpool Noodles from Infinite Tsukiyomi

Chapter 81 The remnants of the old era (4k)

Inside the ANBU building in Konoha.

Uchiha Itachi sat in the monitoring room and looked at the picture of the Uchiha clan on the screen.

Most civilians are under surveillance, but the whereabouts of the ninjas of the Uchiha clan are unpredictable, and it is difficult to fully grasp their whereabouts using only surveillance equipment.

"You don't look good."

Tenzo appeared behind Itachi and asked aloud: "Is there anything abnormal?"

"It's still the same as usual, but clan meetings have become more and more frequent recently..."

Itachi's tone was cold. The screen in front of him was the Nanga Shrine where the Uchiha clan held a clan meeting.

"If something happens, you must report it. If you feel uncomfortable, you can go back and rest for a while."

Tenzang was simply polite and didn't pay attention to Itachi's tone.

But Uchiha Itachi frowned and hesitated for a moment before saying: "However, Uchiha Inari went to Konoha Prison today."

"Uchiha Inari?"

Tianzang was stunned when he heard this, and then recalled the target's information.

Uchiha Inari, a member of the Uchiha radical faction.

However, unlike the impulsive, reckless and arrogant Yashiro, his character is relatively more stable, and he was even a member of the conservatives at one time.

But the most noteworthy thing about him is his status as the grandson of Setsuna Uchiha.

"You've only been here for a short time, so even if you don't know, it's normal."

Tenzo said calmly: "His grandfather Uchiha Setsuna is imprisoned in Konoha Prison. According to our ANBU information, he visits Uchiha Setsuna every Sunday."

"Then Uchiha Inari did anything weird?"

"Unfortunately, not really."

Tenzo shook his head and said: "At first we thought that this old guy Uchiha Setsuna was evil-minded and was plotting some dangerous plan with his grandson that was detrimental to the village."

"But after so many years, we have monitored all the conversations between the two of them, and the topics they talked about were all about family affairs."

Of course, there are also scoldings and curses against the Second and Third Hokage, and dissatisfaction with the unsatisfactory performance of the Uchiha descendants.

Looking at the man in his forties on the surveillance screen, Itachi Uchiha couldn't help but squint his eyes.

At this time, Uchiha Inari was like an ordinary civilian, with a kind and gentle smile on his face, playing with a group of Uchiha children.

It does look like some of them are harmless to humans and animals.

"Am I too worried?"

Tenzo smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't put too much pressure - Uchiha Inari is not strong, and he is still a wall of conservatives and radicals, and Uchiha Setsuna is older than three generations of adults.

Da, now we are just hanging on for a breath."

In the Uchiha watch list, Uchiha Yashiro and Uchiha Iron Fire are still prioritized above Uchiha Inari and Uchiha Setsuna.

After all, the manpower of the Anbu itself is insufficient, otherwise it would not choose to use surveillance facilities for surveillance.

There is absolutely no need to waste energy on people like Uchiha Inari and Uchiha Setsuna.

"Relax a little, it's already very difficult for you to monitor your own family."

"This is my own choice, so I won't be embarrassed."

Hearing Uchiha Itachi's answer, a trace of helplessness flashed in Tenzo's eyes.

He couldn't help but patted Itachi on the shoulder again, then turned and left.

And Uchiha Itachi looked at Uchiha Inari who was walking leisurely in the picture.

I don't know why, but an inexplicable irritability suddenly arose in my heart.

"Uchiha Inari, Uchiha Setsuna, I hope these two really don't have any conspiracy."

…………

At the same time, Uchiha Inari did not return to the police force after leaving Konoha Prison.

Instead, he came to his home leisurely and leisurely.

After entering the mansion, the relaxed look on Dao Huo's face disappeared instantly and turned into a gloomy and solemn one.

He walked into the room and turned the switch on the bookshelf.

A passage leading underground appeared, and Dao Huo quickly walked down this secret passage.

In the secret room that was supposed to be empty, a figure appeared inexplicably.

Wearing a black and white mask with a three-eyed cat face and wearing a black coat, he looks very mysterious.

He stood in front of a calligraphy work and looked up, seemingly fascinated.

"You actually have the word 'love' on it?"

The masked man looked at the word "love" and suddenly smiled: "It seems that there are smart people in the Uchiha clan."

It is true that having an elder in a family is like having a treasure.

Judging from this calligraphy work with the word "love" written on it.

Uchiha Setsuna, that guy has survived from the Second Generation in power to the present, and his knowledge of the Sharingan is probably far greater than that of Uchiha Fugaku.

Most people think that the Senju clan regards love as power. In contrast, the Uchiha clan puts the power of ninjutsu first.

But this is not the case.

No family's love is deeper than that of the Uchiha.

Once the Uchiha people understand love, the emotions they have always bound will be released, and the power beyond the Senju clan will awaken.

But once the Uchiha people who understand love lose that strong love, their love will be replaced by stronger hatred, their whole temperament will change drastically, they will be swallowed up by darkness, and they will go to extremes.

So what makes Uchiha people stronger is not "hate", but the opposite "love".

Obviously Uchiha initially realized this in an instant.

"Are you Tianzhi Yuzhong?"

Uchiha Inari did not hide his traces, and came behind the masked man with a solemn expression.

Menma turned slightly when he heard Ino call his code name.

The blue eyes as deep as the deep sea behind the mask made Uchiha Inari's heart tremble.

"Uchiha Inari?"

Menma stared at Inabi's three-magatama Sharingan and praised, "Your eyes are very good."

It can be clearly felt that the pupil power in these eyes is very strong.

"You said before that the Uchiha clan's coup has long been under the control of Konoha's top brass?"

Inari didn't pay attention to his meaningful words, but said in a deep voice: "Also, the illusion you showed me is the future of the Uchiha clan as you call it?"

On his way to visit his grandfather, he was suddenly drawn into the world of illusion.

The three Magatama Sharingan has no ability to resist.

He didn't even find out when the illusion happened.

In that illusion, Dao Huo watched a good show as a bystander.

"Itachi Uchiha massacred the entire clan, even the old, weak, women and children were not spared. However, as the clan leader, Uchiha Fugaku actually chose to be slaughtered and captured without mercy."

Menma shook his head and smiled: "You are one of the few sober people in the Uchiha clan. You should be very aware that Uchiha has been forced into a dead end by himself and the top management of Konoha."

"Even if there is no Uchiha Itachi, there will still be Uchiha Rat and Uchiha Wolf."

The reason why Menma chose to find Uchiha Inari was not only because of his identity as the grandson of Setsuna Uchiha.

It's also because he is more like an "ordinary person".

Know how to hide clumsiness, have a calm personality, and have a high level of awareness of the situation.

This is extremely valuable to the Uchiha clan, which is paranoid and insane.

"..."

Inari was silent for a moment after hearing this, and said bitterly: "But how could the Third Hokage allow this to happen when the Uchiha clan was completely destroyed? Isn't he trying to repair the relationship between the village and the Uchiha?"

How cruel a heart does it take to commit such a bloody and brutal incident?

"Stop struggling, you should have asked Uchiha Setsuna, right?"

Menma said without any surprise: "Since you chose to come here alone, doesn't it mean you have believed in the future I showed you?"

As soon as these words came out, Uchiha Inabi's tense body relaxed instantly.

I couldn't help but slumped down on a chair nearby.

He thought again of what his grandfather had said to him.

"That brat Sarutobi Hiruzen and that stinky rat Shimura Danzo are just the same thing."

Uchiha said with a look of disdain: "Sarutobi Hiruzen only learned Senju Tobirama's hypocrisy, but did not learn Senju Tobirama's courage and responsibility. If the darkness of Konoha is allowed to spread unchecked, Konoha will be destroyed by him sooner or later.

Under the influence of indecision.”

Indecisive?

Indeed, this kind of thing should be understood without even thinking about it.

The Third Hokage has always tried to maintain balance, but after all, he is not a saint-like figure like Senju Hashirama.

Whenever his own interests are involved, the Third Hokage will be partial.

The root is the darkness that was born under his connivance and hesitation, and now it is too big to fall off.

Menma spoke again: "If you can't make a decision, take me to Konoha Prison to see Setsuna Uchiha."

"I think that old man should understand what it means to abandon the car to save the handsome man, and to survive with a broken arm."

Uchiha Inari covered his head, unable to help showing a hint of helplessness on his face.

Grandpa should enjoy his old age at this age.

But now, the Uchiha clan is already walking on the edge of the cliff.

He, an incompetent and unworthy descendant, actually needed a dying old man to come forward to make the final decision.

………

Konoha's prison is located next to the ANBU headquarters, and the police force used to be nearby.

but now……

"Dao Huo? Are you here to visit your grandpa again?"

"Yes, the old man is getting old, and I am the only grandson left."

The jailer in charge stood in front of the prison gate, smiling and chatting with Uchiha Inari.

Inari's character is not as arrogant as other Uchihas.

On the contrary, he is very friendly and steady.

Over time, the jailers began to recognize this filial Uchiha more.

"I won't delay your work."

Uchiha Inari smiled honestly and said: "Otherwise, if I keep the old man waiting, I will be scolded again."

"Do you understand the rules?"

"Don't worry, we can only visit for an hour. I understand that."

The jailer said no more and stepped aside to get out of the way.

Dao Huo carried a thermos filled with food and walked into the prison as usual.

As he gradually went deeper, what appeared in front of him was a dark and deep corridor.

On both sides of the corridor are cells with iron bars as doors, in which various prisoners are held individually.

Konoha criminals and spies from other countries are imprisoned here, and everyone wears heavy leg and handcuffs.

"Oh oh oh, it's that Uchiha again!"

"Hahaha, I can smell the aroma of food from a long way away!"

The vicious-looking prisoners were holding on to the railings of the iron gate, staring at the rice fire with strange smiles on their faces.

"Good afternoon everyone."

Uchiha Inari greeted him nonchalantly and walked deeper into the prison.

Uchiha Inabi didn't stop until he saw an old man with gray hair and wrinkles on his face.

"grandfather."

Hearing the sound of rice fire, the old man opened his cloudy eyes.

"Rice fire."

He asked in an old and hoarse voice: "Did you bring the food I asked you to bring?"

"Brought it."

Setsuna frowned, his eyes a little sharper.

Seeing that there was no one behind Dao Huo, he was about to ask a question.

"Elder Setsuna, our first meeting."

Hearing the sudden sound, he was stunned for a moment.

This sound did not come from my ears.

Instead, it was more like using some kind of illusion to appear directly in his mind.

Just the blink of an eye.

I don't know when, a figure suddenly appeared next to Dao Huo.

Menma looked at the old man who seemed to be dying in front of him, a hint of deep meaning flashed in his eyes.

Uchiha Setsuna.

Among the current Uchiha clan, he is the only one who has survived from the reign of the Second Hokage to the present, and was once a member of the Konoha Police Force.

He has a sinister and cunning character, inherited Uchiha Madara's will, is very dissatisfied with Senju Tobirama's policy of governing the Uchiha clan, and has always been eager to regain sovereignty from the Senju clan. He is a hawkish Uchiha clan member.

However, his inciting the Uchiha people to rebel and cause trouble was keenly noticed by Senju Tobirama, and he was eventually arrested by ANBU members sent by Senju Tobirama and imprisoned in Konoha Prison for life.

"Are you Tianzhi Yuzhong?"

Shu Mo frowned and did not speak directly, but tentatively muttered to himself in his heart.

"Yes, Elder Setsuna, you can call me Tianzhi Yuzhong."

Hearing the response in his mind again, a thoughtful look flashed across Setsuna's face.

Isn't it mind reading?

It seems that I have to relax my mind in order to see my thoughts.

Thinking of this, he sarcastically said in his heart: "You hide your head and show your tail, how dare you speak nonsense about the future of our Uchiha clan?"

The voice fell.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but I heard a faint chuckle in an instant.

"You'd better trust me more. I don't have the patience to see an old man sneeze at me."

Setsuna's face suddenly darkened.

But in an instant, he put on his smile again.

"what is your purpose?"

"Of course I'll make a deal with you."

"What deal?"

"Use the resources of your Uchiha clan in exchange for the future of your Uchiha clan."

While Menma and Setsuna were talking silently.

Setsuna did not forget that he might be being monitored.

He took the food and took it out, pretending to be dissatisfied and said: "You brat, the food is cold. Remember to come earlier next time!"

At the same time, he asked in his heart: "Use our Uchiha resources in exchange for our future?"

"You think our Uchiha clan has no future, right?"

In the past week, that boy Dao Huo had already communicated with him using coded gestures.

The man in front of me, who calls himself "The Emperor of Heaven", is very powerful.

To be able to hide from everyone's sight, he must have a very strong illusion ability.

"You should know better than me."

Menma's slightly smiling voice came into Setsuna's mind: "Uchiha is like a crazy horse that is out of control. No one can stop this crazy horse."

There is already a cliff ahead of me, and I don't know that I am about to die.
