"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Uchiha's voice became dry and hoarse.

"What would you do if some ill-intentioned members of the Uchiha clan deliberately provoked and instigated a riot at the next regular meeting..."

The words of the ape flying sun slash were like a hammer, continuously hitting the Uchiha's heart defense.

"I... I do not know... ”

The Uchiha let out a groan of pain as his body crumbled in the windless room.

Sarutobi looked at the boy with satisfaction, who had been completely defeated.

The time has come ...

He whispered silently, a smile on the corner of his mouth inadvertently.

"If the situation is so bad that if you want the Uchiha clan not to be wiped out, there is only one thing you can do...

Sarutobi stood up, and the momentum unique to the Hokage gushed out unreservedly, instantly submerging the Uchiha Stop.

"Kill Uchiha Fugaku, it's your only option."

。。。。。。。。

The Uchiha stopped walking down the street leading to the Uchiha clan's residence.

Konoha under the scorching sun turned gray in his eyes.

At the moment, everything is gray.

"Only by killing Uchiha Fugaku, who is the patriarch, can we deter those with bad intentions. Only in this way can the riot of the Uchiha clan be stopped. And this can only be done by you, as a Uchiha.

Only in this way will the death of Uchiha Fugaku be characterized as an internal feud between the Uchiha clan and will not cause a stronger backlash from the Uchiha clan. Peace can also continue to be maintained in the village. Although it was a bit harder than before, it was better than exterminating the race. Think of the women and children of the Uchiha clan, they are innocent ... ”

These were the last words of the three generations of Hokage apes before leaving the Hokage's office.

"Is this really the only way?"

He murmured.

Ape Fei Ri's cold voice echoed in his ears over and over again, trying to urge him to make a decision sooner.

His body moved forward uncontrollably.

In the depths of his heart, a terrible war is going on.

。。。。。。。。

"You passed the toughest test of "Roots" and did not disappoint me. ”

Danzou looked at Uchiha Itachi with satisfaction, completely ignoring the presence of "Tiger" and Tenzo behind him.

"Yes."

Uchiha Itachi replied lightly.

Out of the corner of his eye, he searched the thick stack of papers on the side of Tuanzang's left hand.

Got it...

According to Tiger's description in the illusion, he managed to find a folder containing all the information on the night of the Nine-Tails' attack.

Although he couldn't see the label on the side of the folder, his instinct told him that the white folder was what he wanted.

With his speed, he was able to get the document in his hands before Tuan Zang could react.

His heart was beating uncontrollably.

But reason and the chakra fluctuations that came from around the room reminded him.

Now is not the time to do it ...

Even if he got his hands on the papers, he wouldn't be able to fight his way out of the heavily guarded underground fortress.

The tense body slowly relaxed, and he bowed silently to Tuanzang and turned to leave.

In the dimly lit room, only Tuan Zang was left.

His gaze followed the direction the Uchiha Itachi had left.

A mysterious smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"It's time...

He whispered like a dream.

。。。。。。。。

"Well behaved, Sasuke...

Uchiha Itachi sat on the high wall of the Uchiha clan's residence, and next to him was Sasuke Uchiha, who had just received praise from his brother and was a little shy.

Not far away, in mid-air, the Uchiha clan's fan family crest shone brightly in the fiery red sunset, as if it would never lose its brilliance.

"It's far worse than my brother...

Sasuke Uchiha pouted and whispered.

"Follow in your brother's footsteps and become a great ninja like him. That's what my father told you... ”

No answer is required.

Uchiha Itachi had already gotten the answer from Sasuke's immature face.

From the day his younger brother became sensible, he was desperately trying to catch up with his footsteps.

The young and ignorant younger brother, frightened and helpless for his brother's excellence and strength and his father's indifference and neglect, finally manifested a kind of jealousy for his brother, so clearly written on his face.

"You hate me, do you..."

Uchiha Itachi said softly.

Sasuke's body shook visibly, and he nearly fell off the high wall.

"It doesn't matter...

Uchiha Itachi's right hand landed lightly on Sasuke's shoulder,

It's a matter of course.

His own strength was more of a disaster for the young Sasuke.

Obviously he already has enough talent and talent, and his younger brother, who is so good that his peers can't reach him, is defeated by that abnormal talent and strength after comparing himself with himself.

I can only look at myself with such jealous eyes.

It's not just Sasuke...

Leaving the "dark department" to join the "root" without permission, my father must have been very disappointed in himself at this time.

There are also members of the Uchiha clan.

At the beginning, every Uchiha clan rejoiced in his heavenly ninjutsu talents.

When they found that this powerful power could not be controlled by them, they were so timid that they asked the Uchiha to stop the water to spy on them.

"Sometimes being too good isn't necessarily a good thing...

He stared at Sasuke's crystal clear eyes and said seriously,

"It's more important to be happy than anything else.,Try to make some friends.,Like that classmate named Naruto Uzumaki...

"Don't..."

Sasuke's gaze fled, landing on a growing black figure in the distance.

"It's Brother Zhishui...

He shouted as he pointed to a dark shadow in the distance.

Uchiha Itachi's face became solemn, and even from such a distance, he could still feel the desperation in Uchiha Shisui's body.

"You go back first, I have something to say to Zhishui...

Ignoring Sasuke's displeasure, Uchiha Itachi leaped off the high wall.

The sound of the "whirring" wind violently lifted the black hair on his forehead, revealing a pair of blood-red eyes below.

。。。。。。。。

The Tiger is hiding in a hidden corner.

At the same time as the Uchiha Itachi jumped off the wall, he felt a chill that was in his bones.

Itachi Uchiha's only a slight glance was enough to stiffen his whole body.

He understood what that glimpse meant.

If he continues to follow, there will be only one consequence, and that is death.

He stared at the two who were already walking side by side with resentful eyes, trying to resist the killing intent, but his body had begun to retreat uncontrollably.

He sighed hatefully and disappeared into a cloud of shadows.
