Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Threat of the Regiment
"Brother... Are you okay? ”
Naruto Uzumaki asked with some concern when he saw that the Uchiha Itachi on one side had not spoken for a long time.
"I'm fine, thank you."
Uchiha Itachi looked at Naruto Uzumaki, who was still a child, with some emotion.
A person who has never been cared for, but who knows how to care for others early on.
This warmed his cold heart a little.
At this time night fell, and it was getting dark.
And the three teenagers who had just been fighting with Naruto Uzumaki were gone.
"Your friends are gone..."
He kindly reminded.
"The kind of person who only fights more and less is not my friend...
Naruto Uzumaki smiled cheerfully, as if he had forgotten about the bruises on his body.
Uchiha Itachi reached out and rubbed his yellow messy hair,
"It's getting dark, let's go home early...
"Go home ... , there is no one at home anyway... ”
Naruto Uzumaki muttered quietly, but politely said goodbye to Itachi Uchiha,
"Goodbye then, big brother."
"Come on, Naruto..."
Hearing Uchiha Itachi's words of encouragement, Naruto Uzumaki proudly jumped off the swing,
"Of course, I'm Naruto Uzumaki, but I'm going to be the Hokage's man...
Itachi Uchiha replaced the answer with a smile.
A young man shrouded in darkness, but there is only light in his eyes.
People who talk about the "will of fire" all day long are full of darkness in their hearts.
The dark part and the "roots" are the darkest places in Konoha.
And he himself was now struggling in this quagmire of darkness.
He gently patted Naruto Uzumaki on the back and turned to leave.
At this time, the sky was already full of stars.
。。。。。。。。
"Danzo-sama wants to see you."
"Tiger" coldly stopped in front of Uchiha Itachi.
In his bloodshot eyes, after a full night, the anger did not dissipate, but became more and more violent.
Yesterday, because of Uchiha Itachi's relationship, he was insulted by "Yellow" for no reason, which made him very angry.
At this moment, seeing Uchiha Itachi looking like nothing was happening, which made him even more angry from the bottom of his heart.
"Tuanzang...
Uchiha Itachi frowned slightly, and the boulder that was already pressing on his heart was a little heavier.
What is to come is to come ...
He barely collected his mood and prepared to meet the last person he wanted to see.
。。。。。。。。
"Tiger" stood behind Tuan Zang, where he was most familiar with the position.
Tuan Zang sat quietly on the chair and didn't say a word.
The dimly lit room was eerily quiet.
Invisible waves of pressure crashed against Itachi's body.
He was like a reef in the sea, silently letting the waves rise and fall.
"How's the shadows?"
As if to ease the tense atmosphere, Danzou asked lightly.
"It's too short a time to know too much...
Itachi Uchiha's answer was decent.
"I called you here this time because of the Uchiha clan...
Tuanzang's face became serious,
"The Uchiha clan has been very unfriendly to outsiders lately, and there have been many conflicts in just one week. Among them was a vicious incident in which four people were injured, but the only thing that was fortunate was that there were no casualties... ”
Danzang is telling the truth.
The negative emotions brought about by the Uchiha clan's long-term exclusion and suppression have accumulated to an uncontrollable extent.
This also directly led to the fact that the main battle faction within the Uchiha clan had obviously gained the upper hand, and under the guidance of the rising resentment and well-intentioned people, the Uchiha clansmen, who had always been obedient, began to become impulsive.
Although violent resistance is only seen in a small percentage of the Uchiha clan, it is a very dangerous sign.
No matter how faint the flame is, there will always be a day when the prairie will burn.
This is also one of the things that Itachi Uchiha worries the most.
"You attend the Uchiha clan's regular meeting every week, right? . .
Danzou unceremoniously interrupted Itachi Uchiha's thoughts.
"Yes."
For such a well-known thing, Uchiha Itachi has no need to deny it.
Danzou nodded in satisfaction, seemingly relieved that Uchiha Itachi hadn't hidden it.
"You're an honest kid, and I have a very simple task for you...
"Mission?"
Uchiha Itachi looked at Danzou with a puzzled look.
The Shadow Department is an organization that directly belongs to the three generations of Hokage Ape Flying Sun Slash, and Danzo does not have the right to directly assign tasks to the members of the Shadow Division.
Even if there is a special situation that requires the secondment of a ninja from the shadows, it needs to be done at the behest of Sarutobi Sunslash.
Ignoring his questioning gaze, Danzang continued:
"According to the current situation, the Uchiha clan will perish sooner or later. I don't want to see this tragedy happen, so I need to know what each meeting is ... ”
"Do you mean to make me betray my people?"
Itachi Uchiha's answer was very cold.
"Not betrayal, but salvation...
Danzo's entire body was hidden in the darkness behind the table, except for one left eye, which gleamed.
He stared at Itachi's face as if he wanted to see through what was inside him.
However, he was disappointed by the results.
The Uchiha Itachi is like a bottomless pool of water, and no matter how hard he tries, he can't catch the slightest fluctuation at the bottom of the pool.
"If the Uchiha clan goes to war with Konoha, do you think the odds of victory will be a few percent..."
He sighed silently, hiding the small frustration.
"If nothing else, the odds of winning are almost zero."
Itachi Uchiha was very honest.
"That's right... , the act of causing harm to the betrayed person can be considered betrayal. And you reported to me the contents of the regular meeting of the Uchiha clan, this is to prevent the relationship between the Uchiha clan and Konoha from continuing to deteriorate, which is something that is beneficial to both parties, how can this be a betrayal. Whether it's Konoha or the Uchiha clan will eventually praise you for this selfless behavior... ”
Danzo's sonorous voice echoed through the room.
He was pleased with his ingenious explanation.
"I don't think you want a war between the Uchiha clan and Konoha ...
He added a weight to this conversation that Itachi Uchiha couldn't bear.
"I see."
The Uchiha Itachi's voice didn't hear a trace of fluctuation, and it was strangely calm.
"I don't want to deprive the Uchiha of their dignity, and I believe that most of the Uchiha are willing to live in peace with Konoha. Anyway, please.,Your actions determine the fate of the Uchiha clan... ”
There was a clear threat in Danzang's words.
Uchiha Itachi took a deep breath, his face as gloomy as the dimly lit room.
He seemed to smell the thick smell of blood in the air above the Uchiha clan's station.
