Chapter Seventy-Three: Accusations
Danzo left the Hokage's office contented.
The fiery red sunlight lit up every inch of the leaves, and at the same time lit up the mood of the group praise.
He finally took the Uchiha Itachi under his command and got the blade he had always dreamed of.
And from this day on, Uchiha Itachi fell deeper into darkness.
A place he couldn't touch in his previous life.
On this day, he officially left the dark department and became a member of the "root".
The wheels of fate began to rumble in unknown directions.
。。。。。。。。
Minamiga Shrine.
The frenzied atmosphere has overwhelmed everything.
The situation is moving in a direction that is out of control.
The Uchiha Itachi didn't look at the few people who preached hatred for Konoha among the clansmen and encouraged them to go to war with the village.
Among them was his father, Uchiha Fugaku.
At this moment, all he was thinking about in his heart was how to find out where the "root" had stored top-secret information, and try to find out the truth of the "Nine-Tails Incident".
"Itachi Uchiha."
It is a big voice unique to Uchiha Yashiro.
The noisy room fell silent, and a pair of blood-red eyes fell on Uchiha Itachi at the same time.
It was as if it was a pair of blood-red lanterns that illuminated the Uchiha Itachi hiding in the corner.
"You've been in the shadows for so long, have you gotten any useful information for the Uchiha clan? . . ."
"Hmmm... No... ”
Uchiha Itachi raised his head in surprise and replied lightly.
"No, or are you not gathering information at all...
Uchiha Yashiro ignored Uchiha Fugaku's somewhat embarrassed expression and rudely interrupted Uchiha Itachi's words,
"The people have great expectations for you to enter the Shadows, but we don't know what you've done in the Shadows. Tell me what missions you've been doing in the shadows lately. It's up to us to judge if it's useful ... ”
"It's all routine tasks, and there's nothing worth mentioning."
Uchiha Itachi went straight to meet the Uchiha Yashiro's pair of writing wheels that turned red from excitement, and did not flinch at all.
His cold attitude made Uchiha Yashiro even angrier.
"Enough. Eight generations. ”
Uchiha Fugaku finally couldn't help but speak, wanting to stop Uchiha Yashiro's questioning.
Uchiha Yashiro didn't pay attention to Uchiha Fugaku, staring at Uchiha Itachi with his eyes,
"What did you get into the shadows for?"
"In order to get close to the center of the village, obtain information that is beneficial to the Uchiha clan, and report back to everyone...
Uchiha Itachi's answer was crisp and sharp.
"After you entered the shadows, what did you help us... We don't get anything, not even the slightest bit of useful information ... ”
"That's because the Shadows have always been on strict guard against me, and they don't have a chance to get important information at all."
Uchiha Itachi's tone became a little impatient, and he saw the hostility in the pair of blood-red pupils around Uchiha Yashiro.
This made him faintly uneasy.
"Is there no chance or are you not taking the Uchiha clan to heart at all... And,Why didn't you take the initiative to report to us about quitting the shadows and joining the "root"?。。。 ”
Uchiha Yachiyo's words were like dropping a bomb in the room.
The originally quiet crowd suddenly became agitated, and even Uchiha Fugaku, who wanted to help his son, closed his mouth tightly and looked at Uchiha Itachi with disbelief in his eyes.
Doubt, disappointment, anger, all kinds of emotions mixed together, and instantly detonated the audience.
"Did you betray us...
After a buzzing discussion, a long-haired young man beside Uchiha Yashiro yelled angrily at Uchiha Itachi.
"Enough!"
His gaze suddenly turned to the furious Uchiha Fugaku.
It was the first time that anyone present had seen him so angry.
The cacophony faded like a tide, and the room was quiet again.
"Now is the time for the survival of the Uchiha clan, and it is more important for all of us to work together than to blame each other here...
His gaze swept over Itachi's body.
Although it was only for a short moment, Uchiha Itachi still felt great disappointment and pain from his father's eyes.
"The next regular meeting will decide the future of our Uchiha clan, and no one will be allowed to be absent. All important matters will be discussed at the next regular meeting, so please be sure to attend. That's all for today ... ”
The meeting ended in an atmosphere of unease and suspicion, and Uchiha Itachi could feel the unkind gaze behind him like sharp arrows piercing his back.
A wry smile crept up his cheeks.
Something is very wrong ...
It was a matter of today that he withdrew from the shadows to join the "roots", and it was not until late evening that he received an order from the third generation of Hokage apes to approve his withdrawal from the shadows.
Just a few hours later, someone at the Uchiha clan's regular meeting took advantage of this to attack him.
THIS IS JUST ONE OF THEM ...
Judging from the regular meeting just now, the original patriarch of the Uchiha clan and his father, Uchiha Itachi Fugaku, has obviously been hollowed out.
The meeting became dominated by a few militants led by Uchiha Yashiro, while Uchiha Fugaku was more of a puppet.
It's only been a short half a month since the last regular meeting he attended, why has there been such a big change...
Or is there something hidden in this? . .
He walked into the darkness outside Nanga Shrine with a lot of doubt, not even noticing the uneasy eyes of the Uchiha Shisui behind him.
。。。。。。。。
"How's school going...
Uchiha Itachi smiled and looked at Sasuke Uchiha sitting next to him, and handed over a towel.
Uchiha Itachi unexpectedly agrees to join the "root", much to the delight of Danzo, who generously gives Uchiha Itachi a three-day vacation.
Although Uchiha Itachi preferred to enter the shadows as soon as possible, this was an order from Danzang himself, and he could only reluctantly accept it.
The happiest is Sasuke Uchiha, who can finally get his wish and practice ninjutsu with his brother after school.
"School is really boring, it's more useful to practice with my brother...
Sasuke Uchiha wiped his sweaty cheeks with a towel, strands of black hair on his forehead.
"If only I could practice with my brother every day...
He sighed contentedly and let his tired body fall and land on the soft grass.
"So, didn't you make friends at school?"
Uchiha Itachi's heart moved, and a bruised face with messy yellow hair came to mind.
"Friend, how is it possible...
Sasuke Uchiha made a disdainful voice,
"How can those people who are not even qualified to learn ninjutsu become my friends...
