Five days later.

After a series of fermentations, the Uchiha clan launched a rebellion and some of the clansmen successfully escaped from Konoha The news spread quickly throughout the ninja world like wings.

In order to maintain the dignity of Konoha, the three generations of Hokage Ape Fei Hiza sent all the dark and hidden troops 'root' to pursue him, and then sent several teams composed of elite middle ninjas and upper ninjas to support the pursuit.

For a while, the Uchiha clan, which had already suffered heavy losses, had dozens of clansmen killed one after another, and the first wealthy clan that had been in the limelight in the ninja world in the past fell into the crisis of extinction.

......

On the border of the Land of Fire, in an inconspicuous grove.

A few people dressed as ordinary civilians were leaning against several large trees and resting under them.

They are old and young, and they seem to have been on the road for a long time.

A middle-aged man at the head stood silently to the side, looking like he was resting, but in fact, he had already taken in everything around him.

"Father, there's nothing going on around, right?"

A young man wearing a hat walked up to the man at the head and looked around cautiously.

Although his voice sounded a little immature, it was almost the same size as the middle-aged man.

"It's fine, it's all right, Itachi, you can go back and rest! I'll scout for a moment. ”

The middle-aged man patted the young man's shoulder, although there was a look of exhaustion in his eyes that could not be concealed, but more, it was a pride from the bottom of his heart.

It turned out that this middle-aged man was none other than Uchiha Fugaku, the patriarch of the Uchiha clan who had broken out of Konoha for five days, and that young man was his son Uchiha Itachi.

They were chased by Konoha pursuers all the way, and fought all the way to this point, and finally came to the border of the Fire Country, which was only a few days away from their end point, Matsui Town, a border town in the Land of Tano.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Fugaku's face also showed a slight sense of relief.

"What about your mother? They've had a good rest, right? If you're really tired, you can sleep for a while, and we're guarding it anyway. ”

"Mother they are all resting, don't worry! You can go and rest for a while, too! After all, you still have injuries on your body......"

Itachi Uchiha glanced at the wound on his father's hand that was firmly wrapped in gauze, and there were small strands of blood oozing from the gauze.

There was a look of worry between his brows.

"Your wounds are still bleeding...... Don't go and bandage it again! ”

"No need, we came out of Konoha in a hurry, and we didn't bring enough medical supplies, and we were almost running out, so let's keep them!"

Uchiha Fugaku slowly turned his head and looked at the few people who were resting in the forest at the moment.

In addition to his wife, Uchiha Mikoto, there were four teenagers of Itachi's age and two incapable Uchiha women resting in the forest.

These people are undoubtedly a few "burdens" to him, but Uchiha Fugaku has always taken them with him without hesitation.

At first, the Uchiha people who broke out of Konoha all fled separately as a family unit, but the families of these people either died in the pursuit of the Konoha ninja, or they lost contact for various reasons, and the Uchiha Fugaku, who was the patriarch, naturally left them behind, so he could only choose to take them and protect them and flee to Matsui Town.

"Father's ......"

Seeing that his father insisted on continuing to stand guard for them, Uchiha Itachi's face couldn't help but show a distressed look: "You've been standing for so long, let me stand for you for a while!" ”

"Hahaha...... All right! Be careful, after all, the safety of so many people is in your hands! ”

"Well, don't worry!"

The Uchiha Itachi nodded, but there was a slight hesitation in his eyes, obviously wanting to say something but couldn't.

As a father, Uchiha Fugaku quickly noticed something unusual, and just as he turned around and was about to leave, he turned back and asked Itachi, "What's wrong Itachi?" Do you have anything to worry about? ”

"I didn't ...... No, father. ”

"Itachi, do you have anything unspeakable in front of me? Don't worry! You can't fool me with the look you just looked! ”

"Okay......"

Itachi nodded gloomily, and by the way, he straightened the hat on his head, which was somewhat crooked.

"I'm just a little worried about Sasuke....... I've been running for my life these days, and I haven't had a chance to find out about Konoha's current situation, so I don't know...... I don't know what happened to Sasuke......"

"Sasuke...... Sasuke will be safe! ”

As soon as he heard Itachi's mouth mention Sasuke, Uchiha Fugaku's eyes quickly dimmed.

But he quickly suppressed the loss in his heart and made himself look a little more uplifted, because he knew that he was now the backbone of everyone here, and he must not be depressed!

"Itachi, don't worry! When we get to a safe place, I'll send someone back to Konoha as soon as possible to find out about Sasuke! Let's put our minds on ourselves for now! After all, we haven't escaped the land of fire yet, and we could be in danger at any time......."

Shout!

Shout!

Shout!

......

Before Uchiha Fugaku's words fell, several extremely sharp kunai suddenly attacked the two of them.

Seeing this, Itachi, who was quick-eyed, hurriedly pulled out the ninja knife from behind him, and after a dazzling array of knife flowers, he stopped all these kunai.

"Who attacked us!"

"It's you, Itachi! The response was so fast! It doesn't seem like even your patriarchal father reacted just now! ”

"Danzo?!"

Hearing this familiar voice, the faces of Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Fugaku suddenly turned ugly.

As more than a dozen black shadows swept by, more than a dozen members of the 'Root' surrounded them in the blink of an eye.

The first person was the one with a bandage on his head, and he looked at their Tuan Zang with a cold face.

"Uchiha Fugaku, and Itachi, itachi, long time no see! I've had a hard time finding you these days! No wonder you can't find you everywhere by posting bounty orders, it turns out that you are all disguised......"

Looking at the civilian costumes on the Uchiha in front of him, the chill on Danzang's face deepened a little.

"Aside from you, I've killed fourteen Uchiha people since I left Konoha....... The evil guys of the Uchiha really can't kill enough! ”

"You brute!"

Uchiha Fugaku took Itachi behind him, and looked at Danzou with the same gloomy face.

"You made the plan to destroy the Uchiha, right? Today...... I'm here to kill you! Avenge the dead people! ”

"It's up to you, Uchiha Fugaku? I'd rather fight your son than fight you, after all...... He is the number one master of the Uchiha clan now! Oh yes...... I suddenly remembered that it seemed that the number one master of the Uchiha clan before was also killed by me! ”

"Sure enough, it's your Tuanzang! You really killed the water! I'll just say he wouldn't suddenly commit suicide in front of me for no reason! ”

As soon as he heard that his best friend's death was really related to Danzang, Itachi's previously calm face was suddenly filled with anger.

He took a sharp step forward, and was about to attack Tuanzang, but at this moment, a pair of large hands stopped in front of him.

He looked ahead in surprise, only to find his father, Uchiha Fugaku, looking at him with a look of hope.

And his eyes were full of determination.

"Itachi, you go and cover your mother and those clansmen to retreat first, leave it to me here! I'll break it off! ”
