Konoha's Thief Hand

Chapter 655: Father and Son

When Uchiha Fugaku came to the house of the elder, midnight was deeper, and the dim candlelight in the room was like a soybean, blurring a tired old face.

“The Great Elder.” Uchiha Fugaku respectfully saluted when he came to the old man.

“Yeah.” The elder yawned and nodded, raised his heavy eyelids and looked at Uchiha Fugaku, and asked in a low and vicissitudes of voice: “It’s not quiet in the clan, Fugaku, what happened?”

When Uchiha Fugaku heard the words, he responded slowly and truthfully.

Although he knew that the other party must already know everything, he could only waste his tongue and tell it in detail, and in the end it was naturally about letting the root ninja take away the body of the troublemaker.

After finishing the story, the room of only two people was silent for a moment, and then it was broken by the approval of the elder.

“You did a good job, Fugaku.” The elder said with a smile, “Although the village is indeed in a downturn, it is still not something that my clan without any preparations can contend with. Rather than tearing up the skin with the village, I will find another opportunity. Is the best choice.”

False and unreliable? Looking for another time? This kind of vocabulary doesn’t sound like talking about the village that ninjas should protect, but rather like talking about enemies who can’t defuse resentment anyway.

For Uchiha, the high-levels of Konoha Village are indeed like enemies. After Second Hokage came to power, as one of the families who co-founded Konoha, they not only did not enjoy the glory they deserve, but were squeezed into the village step by step. On the edge, the so-called Konoha Guard Force is more like a shackle or even a cage, making Uchiha completely lose the hope of these people while performing duties to the people in the village, and then cut off and climbed to the Konoha Village to grasp the power class. Possible.

These ordinary Uchiha people may not be able to see clearly, but all the top Uchiha people know well.

It was just because of Hokage’s order. Although I knew it was a poison wrapped in sugar, I had no other choice but to swallow it in one mouthful.

This was Uchiha’s concession and compromise, and when he made this decision, Uchiha expected the village leaders to feel this kindness, but it was a pity that they just paid the wrong way in the end.

So now it’s not Uchiha who has a heart of conspiracy. Uchiha just has no choice. Between either continuing to be forced by the village’s high-level government until he is completely satisfied, or rising up to resist and regain everything he should get back with his strength, the arrogant Uchiha can only Choose the latter.

Obviously, this concept does not only exist between one or two Uchihas. The words of the great elders are even more clearly demonstrated. This is a mainstream idea within the Uchiha clan.

Just at the center of this thought, Uchiha Fugaku clenched his fist secretly, but on the surface he still had to nod his head calmly, showing respect in front of the elder.

But at the same time, he was thinking about another thing in his mind, something related to the fate of the Uchiha clan: against the village, can Uchiha become the ultimate winner?

Different questions have always had different answers in different people’s minds, and at this moment Uchiha Fugaku is sure that his answers are completely opposite to the answers of most of the Uchiha clan.

But even so, what can he do?

Between the tribe’s expectations and his own ideas, his only choice is the former.

Coming out of the house of the elder, Uchiha Fugaku walked towards the house with a tired face.

When he saw the dim light in front of his house, he discovered that the previous explosion had collapsed the side wall of the yard, and a teenager was packing there at the moment.

Seeing the boy, Uchiha Fugaku’s tired face showed a slight smile. He has always looked as serious and tight as him, and he will only show such an expression when he is too tired to control his face.

As if feeling the gaze, the boy put down the stone of the barrier wall, and then followed the feeling.

“Father?” Uchiha Itachi was taken aback for a moment, then walked over and said, “You are back.”

“Yeah.” Uchiha Fugaku narrowed his expression and patted the eldest son’s arm and said, “Itachi, you are doing a good job, I heard Shisui say it all.”

“I’m an older brother, and it’s my responsibility to protect Sasuke.” A smile appeared on Uchiha Itachi’s mouth.

“Is Sasuke okay?” Uchiha Fugaku nodded and asked.

“I’m just being fainted, I should have a good dream.” Uchiha Itachi said with a smile, “My father is going to see him?”

“Since it’s okay, you don’t have to look at it.” Uchiha Fugaku, with sad eyes in his eyes, shook his head.

Uchiha Itachi glanced at his exhausted father beside him, but he said nothing more.

The two fathers and sons walked into the yard, and the candlelight in the room reflected through the doors and windows, coating the chrysanthemums blooming in the yard with a warm light. If it weren’t for the broken wall on the side, it would be quite warm.

“Clean up tomorrow, Itachi.” Standing in front of the chrysanthemum, Uchiha Fugaku reached out and fiddled with the petals, stopping the eldest son who was walking towards the broken wall again, “Come and chat with me.”

Uchiha Itachi raised his eyebrows suspiciously, then nodded and said, “Yes, father.”

Standing beside Uchiha Fugaku, Itachi subconsciously looked at the hand that fiddled with the chrysanthemum. The random and disorderly movements seemed to reflect that his father’s mood was full of irritability.

“I heard that you were spotted by Anbu, haven’t you?” Uchiha Fugaku asked flatly.

“Has my father heard of it?” Uchiha Itachi was startled slightly in surprise.

“Yeah.” Uchiha Fugaku nodded, and then said to Itachi as if to himself, “Perhaps you will become the hope of the family, Itachi.”

Uchiha Itachi was sensitive to the inexplicable meaning in his father’s words, but he couldn’t think of more from it. Even if it was a father and son, he often couldn’t fully understand his father’s thoughts.

Of course, the reverse is also true.

For example, when he was still young, his father took him to see the cruelty of war with his own eyes, or when he achieved achievements and was called Uchiha’s genius, all he finally got from his father was “worthy of my son”. As for His true thoughts have never been understood by his father.

The two father and son fell silent, thinking about other things.

At this time, the dark clouds in the night sky began to recede slowly, and the energy gathered in the clouds did not reach the level that had to be released after all. Although the stars behind the hidden dark clouds were still a little dim, they were already able to fall down, bringing it to Konoha Village. Different scenery.

A chaotic night was staged, and the curtain came to an end in this starlight.
