Chapter 8: Undercurrents

Four old men over half a hundred years old formed the supreme authority of Konoha Ninja Village.

The orders issued from here - even the most insignificant - are enough to decide the life and death of a ninja.

Or even the fate of a clan.

。。。。。。。。

Ape Feiri slashed his face tired, his eyes slowly swept over the three of them, and his face was irrepressible sadness,

"The four Hokages and his wife sacrificed their lives to seal the Nine-Tails. Still, the village was devastated. If it is not repaired as soon as possible, it is very likely that the remaining powers, which have long been eyeing each other, will take advantage of this opportunity to attack Konoha. ”

"I will immediately order and arrange the relevant restoration work."

It was Mito Menit, one of the advisor elders, who spoke.

"There's one more thing...

Sarutobi stopped and looked at Tuan Zang, who was speechless.

Danzang, who was bandaged around the right half of his face, used his only left left eye to meet the gaze of Sarutobi Sun, and his eyes flashed with a cold light.

Feeling his urging, the corners of Tuan Zang's mouth raised slightly, revealing a disdainful smile,

It's as hypocritical as ever.

Thinking like this, the smile on the corner of his mouth became a little thicker.

"I propose to move the Uchiha clan's residence out of the heartland of Konoha. Moved to the edge of the village with the Konoha Police Force. ”

"What did you say?"

Ape Feiri frowned, a look of surprise on his face.

The expression on Tuan Zang's face was faint, and his voice was as cold as ever,

"The facts are clear. The only one who can drive the Nine-Tails is the writing wheel eye of the Uchiha clan. ”

"You're saying that the Nine-Tails attack was carried out by someone from the Uchiha clan?"

"That's right."

Tuanzang's answer was extraordinarily resolute.

Ape Fei Ri slashed and gasped, his face full of disbelief.

As soon as the two asked and answered, they had already made a final conclusion about the Nine-Tails incident.

The two advisor elders who were kept in the dark, Mito Menyan and Koharu Zhuan, looked at the two of them dumbfounded, and couldn't interject at all, so they could only wait quietly on the side for the final decision.

"It went well. It was a wise choice to find a group to cooperate. ”

Ape Fei Ri was very satisfied, but his face did not show half joy, and asked suspiciously:

"Are you so sure, is there any evidence?"

"The Uchiha clan has always had a high opinion of themselves, and over the years, they have been dissatisfied with Konoha a lot. In the past two years, it has become more and more intense. When the four generations of Hokage were chosen, some members of the Uchiha clan proposed that Uchiha Fugaku be the Hokage. Although they were not allowed to succeed, rumors continued to circulate and some people began to accuse the village of being unfair to the Uchiha clan. All of this is the Uchiha clan behind the scenes. ”

"It's just your words, and most of the people of Konoha don't think so."

Ape Flying Sun shook his head.

"It's the people of Konoha who don't think so."

Mito Menyan and Koharu looked at each other and exchanged a knowing look.

Sure enough, the development of events was just as the two expected.

"I've been secretly investigating the movements of the Uchiha clan by the ninjas of Root, and they have always complained about the village and us, the Konoha high-ups. ”

"It's just a few young people who don't know what to do, and most of the Uchiha clan are still doing their best for the village."

"And that's not all."

Tuan Zang's attitude was so tough that he himself was a little surprised,

This dissatisfaction is like a spark that slowly spreads. If left unchecked, sooner or later it will have irreparable consequences. ”

"Even if it's like you say. But if the Nine-Tails attack is blamed on the Uchiha clan, it is too hasty and can easily cause dissatisfaction among the people. It will make them think that we are using this Nine-Tails incident to clear out dissidents. ”

"The Uchiha clan must not be allowed to continue their misdeeds just because there is no solid evidence. In any case, the only one who can manipulate the Nine-Tails is the Uchiha clan's Sharingan. This is an ironclad fact. The eyes of the people were bright, and they had long understood in their hearts that this Nine-Tails attack was done by the Uchiha clan, but they didn't dare to say it. ”

"Without evidence, it's easy to provoke a revolt from the Uchiha clan."

Ape Feiri's eyebrows furrowed together, and he squeezed out a big "Chuan" character.

Mito Menyan perfectly understood the meaning of the two, found an opportunity to reflect his value, and hurriedly spoke:

"Now that the village is being rebuilt, it needs to be re-planned, so it is better to use this excuse to banish the Uchiha clan to the very edge of the village. In this way, it will not arouse the suspicion of the people, nor will it cause the dissatisfaction of the Uchiha clan. ”

。。。。。。。。

After the nine-tailed attack, Konoha was a dilapidated scene everywhere he looked.

Many people have lost loved ones, lovers.

As a result of the Nine-Tails' havoc, more than half of the buildings have been destroyed, and many people have had to sleep on the streets, and popular anger has reached its peak.

Some rumors began to spread in Konoha.

Soon, most of the people of Konoha agreed on one thing - someone from the Uchiha clan had planned the Nine-Tails attack.

The attitude of the people of Konoha towards the Uchiha clan has become increasingly cold, and even the daily work of the police force has become difficult.

The anger of the people was successfully transferred to the Uchiha clan.

At the same time, the simple and crude handling of the Konoha high-level also succeeded in arousing the dissatisfaction of the Uchiha clan.

The smell of gunpowder between the common people and the Uchiha clan gradually became stronger, and friction arose from time to time.

Uchiha Fugaku, who is also the captain of the Konoha Police Force and the head of the Uchiha clan, has been busy lately.

On the one hand, it is necessary to appease the clansmen, and on the other hand, it is necessary to patiently clarify the rumors to the Konoha people, and at the same time, it is necessary to obtain more resources from the upper echelons for the Uchiha clan who have just moved into a new place of residence.

In just a few days, the whole person has lost a lot of weight.

。。。。。。。。

The wheels of history began to rumble forward, unwavering towards the set goal.

。。。。。。。。

Itachi Uchiha was very happy with his new home.

This is the equivalent of Konoha outside the village.

Although it is far from the bustling center of Konoha, it is located near the Konoha Forest, both the Nanga Shrine, which symbolizes the Uchiha clan.

Both the practice and the scenery are far better than the noisy central area.

Not far from where the Uchiha clan lived, there was a hidden place.

Beneath the steep cliffs is a huge river.

The river rushes down from the upper reaches of Konoha, and the rushing water rushes against the cliffs with a loud crashing sound.

On top of the cliff, two teenagers sat side by side, and the setting sun gently shone on them, dyeing them the color of flames.
