Chapter 34 The Covenant
"Give me a reason."

In the Japanese room, Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Shisui sat facing each other, without a low table as a barrier in the middle. Only in this way can it be convenient to observe and understand all each other's thoughts.

This is the first one-on-one conversation between the two strongest Uchihas after World War Three.

The clansmen who were still aggrieved before had already left after being persuaded by the "insufficient preparation" of several Uchiha leaders.

Next, the decision Uchiha Fugaku made before will be passed on to more clansmen layer by layer with the explanation and supplement of several elites.

I believe that when everyone is a little more sober and recognizes the current situation, they will make correct judgments.

What Shisui discussed with Uchiha Fugaku at this time was that he agreed with Yiyong to leave with him.

At this time, one of them is a father and the other is an elder brother, not just a patriarch and a member of the clan.

"He's a child, so it's fine if he's ignorant. Why do you encourage him?"

Uchiha Fugaku's tone sounded dangerous, but his expression and posture were quite stable.

In all fairness, this is the first time Yiyong has shown a sense of belonging to his tribe.

If it weren't for the sudden and critical situation, Fuyue should have felt relieved, but in fact, it is more dangerous for him to pursue Yanhuo and Wen's whereabouts bravely now than when he let Itachi wander on the battlefield.

Shisui did not dodge his gaze, but looked at the former peacefully.

But he didn't immediately talk about Yiyong first, but talked about another topic.

"Master Fuyue. Before returning to the clan tonight, I thought that taking Yanhuo away was what the enemy wanted."

He paused for a moment, "But seeing the agitated crowd of the tribe, and even planning to take risks, I think that provoking conflicts between the village and Uchiha is what the enemy really wants."

"If it is the village's instruction, if you want to harm Yanhuo and the others, you can wait for them to enter the country of Sichuan, or even the country of wind, and then take action, and you can justifiably put the blame on the enemy. Those who can do it choose the village The House of Fire Nation, which is the most suspected one, seems rather strange."

"Do you believe what the third generation said?"

Uchiha Fugaku frowned.

"I believe this is not his instigation. But this does not mean that there are no people in Konoha who want Uchiha to have conflicts with the village."

Shisui took out a stack of Konoha Jominin and Anbe's whereabouts records from the pouch, which Sarutobi Hiruzen gave him.

"Those who sell Yanhuo and want to intensify the conflict must be in the village.

"But the person who did it cannot be Konoha's. Because all Konoha ninjas with this ability have evidence of their alibi. Even Itachi, he is now in the land of rain, plotting to destroy Sansho Hanzo It's a good thing, it's impossible to have this time..."

"You even doubt Itachi?!"

This time, Fu Yue was shocked.

You know, when these two people get along, they are more harmonious than brothers.

"When making this kind of judgment, you must think of all possibilities and treat them equally before you can take them into consideration."

Shishui's words fully reflected the implication of his name, "It is a good thing to get rid of Itachi now."

In fact, after his illusion was cracked last night, Shisui has eliminated all the Jonin through investigation, but the only one who has the opportunity to "commit crimes" and has the three-god jade is the out-of-town Itachi.After all, what he took over was Danzo's secret mission to test him to join Anbu, and even Shisui didn't know exactly what it was.

But today, after checking Itachi's whereabouts with the Third Hokage, Shisui officially ruled Itachi out, and he was relieved.

Then, Shisui really classified the "hands-on" people as foreigners who "have Sharingan", but they are not Konoha ninjas.

The spy who communicates with the enemy inside and outside is an important member of Konoha who holds the intelligence of the patrol squad.

And their ultimate goal is to use the most direct method to intensify the conflict between the village and Uchiha.

Taking an intersection between these three, Zhishui immediately made a rather bold guess.

"After sorting out the whole thing, and then thinking about the scene of the intensified conflict between the police and ordinary residents a while ago, you will find that these two seemingly unrelated things are actually one thing, and the purpose is both In order to intensify the conflict. In this way, do you think of anyone who is used to inciting public opinion and making lies in the village?"

"You mean... Shimura Danzo?"

After the Nine-Tails Rebellion, Uchiha's reputation was greatly damaged, thanks to this person, how could Uchiha Fugaku forget him.

It's just that this person seldom appears at the Jonin meeting, and has been silent all the time. If Itachi hadn't joined Anbu to pass the opponent, Fuyue would have thought he had died in some dark corner.

Shishui nodded.

In fact, he didn't think of Danzo at the first time. He is a reclusive person. Even if he is Hokage who is directly under Anbu, he doesn't meet Danzo many times, but every time he meets, the other party is playing a role without exception. Konoha's "risk analyst" regards almost all abnormalities as potential threats to Konoha.

On the contrary, it is the root of the opponent's subordinates, who often conflict with Anbu, who is directly under Hokage.

But when I think that the person who attacked Yanhuo is a foreigner who "has Sharingan", I can't help but think of Orochimaru who conducted human experiments in Konoha.

Some time before he escaped, the Uchiha clan also disappeared, but there was no real evidence to prove this.

In Shisui's assumption, it is very likely that this Konoha rebels and is cooperating with Danzo.

One of them is in charge of action, and the other is in charge of providing information, which can explain most of the doubts about Yanhuo's disappearance.

After all, if it was someone else, it would be better to kill Yanhuo on the spot, leaving the corpse would be more impactful, so why take people away.

Unless it is to use his body to make an article, such as writing about sharing eyes.

Ever since, Orochimaru and Danzo, who have previous convictions, are even more suspected of doing such a thing.

In fact, Zhishui's guess is already quite close to the truth itself.

"For such a big matter, in normal times, Elder Danzo would have exchanged countermeasures with the third generation of Hokage in the Hokage office.

"But I saw Mitomen Yan and Elder Zhuanju Xiaochun today, but I didn't see him appear. This can't help but make people suspicious."

"..."

Uchiha Fugaku looked at Shisui with a somewhat "formidable young man" expression.

"Since you already have a suspect, leaving Konoha this time is actually just..."

"It's a cover, but not quite."

Zhishui explained, "There is no actual evidence, guesses are just guesses after all, I plan to go to the scene of the incident to see if I can find anything, and then go directly to the Land of Rain.

"Once things are different from what I think, and the enemy only targets Uchiha, then the only Itachi in the clan who is outside may be in danger. But if it is really Danzo, once Itachi completes the mission and returns to Konoha, he may directly meet with you. When he meets, I also have reasons to stop Itachi and ask him to take precautions."

"The reason why I agreed to take Giyuu away is because if it's the latter case, it would be safer for Giyuu to be outside Konoha."

Shisui looked at the position upstairs, "If something unexpected happens, you must stand in front of the tribe. At that time, Aunt Mikoto only needs to protect Sasuke's child, which will be easier."

Of course, another reason why the water-stop belt volunteers walk is because in the land of rain, where there is heavy rain all year round, volunteers' water escape will be strengthened, and it is estimated that it can hold up to three ordinary Konohas.It's just that he didn't say it.

Uchiha Fugaku pondered for a long time, then lowered his head slightly, and solemnly begged:
"Then stop the water...

"These two children will be handed over to you."

Meanwhile, upstairs, the twins' room.

Uchiha Mikoto and Sasuke sat side by side at the door, blocking Giyuu's exit route.

The latter sat obediently, motionless, like a prisoner who was being criticized.

Sasuke puffed up his face angrily, trying to imitate Fu Yue's usual stern eyes.

He didn't know why his twin brother would take risks outside the village when someone was already missing.Wen Uchiha just disappeared, and he felt so flustered and uncomfortable that he almost threw up when he was on the roof.

If the same thing happened to Yi Yong, he didn't know how to face it.

On the contrary, Mikoto just glanced ahead vaguely, opened her lips several times but then closed them again.

This time, just looking at Yi Yong's expression, she knew that no matter how exaggerated her actions and expressions were today, it was impossible for him to back down and change his mind.

"Although mother doesn't want to say that..."

After deliberating for a long time, Mikoto Uchiha still spoke, "But Yanhuo and Wen, there is a high probability that they are no longer alive."

"what……"

Sasuke knew little about the close connection between the ninja's disappearance and death, and his eyes widened on the spot.

Comparing Sasuke's panic with Giyuu's impassive expression on Furui's face, Mikoto sighed, "But I guess, you've already thought of this, haven't you? Giyuu."

"Yes."

Giyuu replied, his voice seemed to bounce back from the bottom of a deep well.

It is because I am too used to the term "disappearance" that the nightmare that has not appeared for a long time has once again haunted Yiyong.Some things, you never get used to it.

"Even if you know this, you still want to find out with Zhishui?"

"Yes."

Yiyong's eyebrows were slightly lowered, and the shape of his eyes looked a little sharp, "If the person who did this is not found, it may happen to other tribesmen."

There was another reason Giyuu didn't mention.

That is, as long as the murderer has not been found, the surviving Uchiha Choi and Uchiha Gan will always live in the cage of guilt they created for themselves, just like him back then.

As the parties involved, once they recover, it is inevitable that they will take more extreme actions as revenge, thus costing their lives.

In Yiyong's view, this is another reason why he must do this, and it is also the reason why all the ghost killers go hunting evil spirits——

Avoid more people, and become the existence that is plagued by hatred and pain for life like them.

Uchiha Mikoto sighed.

Just when Sasuke and Giyuu thought that she was going to reveal her mother's identity and forbade Giyuu from stepping out of the house, Mikoto said, "In that case, Mom won't stop you."

Sasuke stood up suddenly, "Mom!"

Mikoto put her hand on Sasuke's shoulder, her gentle eyes fell on Giyuu.

"That child Zhishui is a thoughtful person, I'm not worried about your safety when you're with him.

"It's just that you have never wanted to be a ninja, but now you want to go out for things that are mostly fruitless. It is inevitable that you will see the dirty and cruel side of this world.

"Itachi just took a turn on the battlefield back then, and it was like a different person when he came back. Although he has matured, he has gradually become reticent. I have always worried that the same thing will happen to you and Sasuke. Now, although the war is over, the cold-bloodedness and cruelty among the ninjas will not attenuate because of the war, on the contrary, they will become more despicable and insidious..."

When she said this, she waved to Yiyong.

Yiyong hesitated for two or three seconds, then got up and walked to Meiqin and knelt down, and Meiqin took both children into her arms at the same time.

"Children grow up seeing cruel things. I also know that you can't always be what you are now.

"Even with normal age growth, you will gradually become hungry for power and fame, you will gradually get tired of your father's strictness, you will hate your mother's nagging, and there will even be gaps between brothers because of the differences and opinions... And The outside world will intensify this change."

Sasuke looked at Giyuu in a daze, not knowing why his mother said these words.

He is sure that he will not become the person his mother said. As for righteousness, he has basically nothing to do with the word change.

"But no matter how cruel and unreasonable the world outside the village looks, as long as you go home, the love your father, mother and brother have for you will never change.

"So, Mom hopes that Yiyong will always remember what I just said, no matter what you see outside this time.

"When you come back, I hope you will still be the child who can't lie, and have a gentle heart that is rarely seen among the clansmen. Don't turn yourself into a really cold person just to deal with a cold world. .”

She moved her warm hand in front of Yiyong, and stretched out a little finger, "Can you promise mom about this?"

Before Giyuu could react, Sasuke hung his little finger on it first.

He raised his head arrogantly, "Anyway, no matter what happens in the future, I won't become as annoying as my mother said. Yiyong, you must think the same way, right?!"

Yiyong didn't speak, just nodded lightly, and hung his own fingers on it, reaching a precious contract between the mother and son.

Mikoto smiled contentedly, and at the same time covered up a trace of worry in her heart with her happy smile.

However, she looked past the two black-haired little heads, and looked at the night scene outside the window, which was deeper than Yiyong's eyes. The uneasiness in her heart was gradually magnified by the unknown future.

【I just hope that this is not the last time I will make such an agreement with you. 】

 There are still nine days to go on the shelves, and the countdown to Yan Zhu's resurrection
