Chapter 32 Agreements
"Give me a reason."
In the Japanese room, Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Shisui sit opposite each other, and there is no low table in the middle as a barrier, so it is convenient to understand all of each other's thoughts through observation.
It was the first one-on-one conversation between the two strongest Uchiha men after the three battles.
The clansmen, who had been indignant before, had already left under the persuasion of several Uchiha leaders to be "unprepared".
Next, the decisions made by Uchiha Fugaku before will be passed on to more clansmen layer by layer under the explanation and supplementation of several elites.
I believe that when everyone is a little sober and understands the current form, they will also make a correct judgment.
And what Shisui discussed with Uchiha Fugaku at this time was that he left with him.
At this time, one of them is a father and the other is an elder brother, not as a simple patriarch and clansman.
"He's a child, it's okay if he's not sensible, why are you egging him up?"
Uchiha Fugaku's tone sounded dangerous, but his expression was quite steady.
To be sure, this was the first time that Yi Yong showed a sense of belonging to his people.
If it weren't for the sudden crisis of the situation, Fu Yue should have felt relieved, but in fact, it was more dangerous for Yi Yong to track down the whereabouts of Yanhuo and Wen at this time than for him to let Itachi wander the battlefield back then.
Instead of dodging his gaze, he calmly met the former's gaze.
But he didn't immediately talk about Yiyong first, but talked about another topic.
"Lord Fugaku. Before returning to the clan tonight, I thought that taking the flames with me would be the result that the enemy wanted. ”
He paused, "But seeing the excitement of the clansmen, and even the appearance of planning to take risks, I think that it is probably what the enemy really wants to provoke the conflict between the village and the Uchiha." ”
"If it is instructed by the village, if it is not good for them, it is completely possible to wait for them to enter the country of Sichuan or even the country of wind before taking action, and you can justifiably put the blame on the enemy. The people who can do it choose the most suspicious Fire Country Mansion in the village, which seems strange. ”
"You believe the claims of the three generations?"
Uchiha Fugaku frowned.
"I don't believe he did. But this does not mean that there are no people in Konoha who want Uchiha and the village to have conflicts. ”
Shisui took out a stack of Konoha Shinobi and Shadow's whereabouts records from the small bag, which was given to him by Sarutobi Slash.
"The person who betrays the flames and wants to intensify the conflict must be in the village.
"But the person who did it couldn't be the person of Konoha. Because all Konoha ninjas who have this ability have alibi evidence. Even if itachi, the others are now in the Land of Rain, and they are plotting to destroy the good deeds of Sanshoyu Hanzo, it is impossible to have this time......"
"You even suspect it?!"
This shocked Fu Yue.
You know, when these two people get along, they are completely more harmonious than brothers.
"When making this kind of judgment, we must think of all possibilities and treat everyone equally, so that we can consider it as a whole."
This sentence of stopping the water fully reflects the meaning of his name, "It is a good thing to exclude the ferret now." ”
In fact, after his illusion was cracked last night, Shisui passed the investigation and had eliminated all the upper ninja of the clan, but the only one who had the opportunity to "commit crimes" and possess the three hooks was Itachi who went out. After all, what he took over was a confidential mission that Tuan Zang used to test him to join the Dark Ministry, and it was not even clear what it was.
But today, after checking Itachi's whereabouts with the three generations of Hokage, Shisui officially excluded Itachi, and he was relieved.
Then, Shisui really classified the "hands-on" people as foreigners who "have writing wheel eyes", but they are not Konoha ninjas.
The spy who communicates with foreign enemies is an important person in Konoha who holds the intelligence of the patrol squad.
And their ultimate goal is to use the most direct method to intensify the conflict between the village and the Uchiha.
Taking an intersection between these three, Zhishui immediately had a rather bold speculation.
"If you sort out the whole thing, and then think of the scene of the intensification of the conflict between the garrison and ordinary residents some time ago, you will find that in fact, these two seemingly unrelated things are one thing at all, and the purpose is to intensify and intensify the contradictions. In this way, do you think of the people who are used to inciting public opinion and creating lies in the village? ”
"You mean...... Shimura Danzo? ”
After the Nine-Tails Rebellion, Uchiha's reputation was greatly damaged, and it was really thanks to this person that Uchiha Fugaku could have forgotten him.
It's just that this person rarely appears in the upper ninja meeting, and has been silent, if it weren't for Itachi joining the shadows to pass through the other party, Fuyue would have thought that he had died in some dark corner.
Zhishui nodded.
In fact, he didn't think of Tuan Zang for the first time, he was a person who lived in seclusion, even if he was in the shadows, and the number of times he met Tuan Zang was only a handful.
On the contrary, it is the root of the opponent's subordinates, and it often conflicts with the Hokage's direct shadows.
But when I think of the person who did the work on the flames, he is a foreigner who "has a writing wheel eye", and I can't help but think of the Orochimaru who conducted human experiments in Konoha before.
Some time before he fled, the Uchiha clan also disappeared, but no tangible evidence was found to prove it.
In the assumption of stopping the water, it is very likely that this Konoha rebel ninja is cooperating with Tuanzang.
One of them is in charge of hands-on, and the other is in charge of providing information that can explain most of the suspicions of Yanhuo's disappearance.
After all, if it was someone else, he would just kill Yanhuo on the spot, so why would he take people away.
Unless it's to do something with his corpse, such as writing a wheel eye or something.
As a result, Orochimaru and Tuanzang, who have had a criminal record, are even more suspicious of doing this kind of thing.
In fact, the speculation of stopping the water is quite close to the truth itself.
"Such a big thing, in normal times, Elder Danzo would have been in the Hokage's office to exchange countermeasures with the three generations of Hokage.
"But I saw Mito Menyan and Elder Koharu today, but I didn't see him appear, which can't help but make people suspicious."
“……”
Uchiha Fugaku looked at Shisui with a somewhat "terrifying" expression.
"Now that you already have a suspicion, leaving Konoha this time is actually just a ......"
"It's a disguise, but not quite."
"There is no actual evidence, speculation is just speculation after all, and I plan to go to the scene of the incident to see if I can find anything, and then go directly to the Land of Rain."
"If things are different from what I thought, and the enemy is only targeting the Uchiha, then the only Itachi in the clan who is outside may be in danger. But if it's really a group, once Itachi returns to Konoha after completing his mission, he may meet him directly, and I also have a reason to stop Itachi and ask him to take precautions. ”
"The reason why I agreed to take Yiyong with me is because if it were the latter case, Yiyong would be safer outside Konoha instead."
Zhishui looked upstairs, "If something unexpected happens, you must stand at the front of the clan. At that time, Aunt Mikoto only needs to protect Sasuke's one child, and it will be easier. ”
Of course, another reason for the waterstop to walk bravely is because in the land of rain, where it rains heavily all year round, the water escape of the righteous and brave will be enhanced, and it is estimated that it can withstand three ordinary Konoha to endure it. But he didn't say that.
Uchiha Fugaku pondered for a long time, then lowered his head slightly, leaned over, and solemnly asked:
"So stop the water......
"These two children, I'll leave it to you."
Meanwhile, upstairs, the twins' room.
Uchiha Mikoto and Sasuke sat side by side in the doorway, blocking the route for Yoshiyu to leave.
The latter, on the other hand, sat honestly and motionlessly, like a prisoner being criticized.
Sasuke puffed out his face angrily, trying his best to imitate Fugaku's usual stern eyes.
He didn't know why his twin brother had to venture outside the village when someone was already missing. Uchiha was just missing, and he felt so flustered and uncomfortable that he almost threw up when he was on the roof.
If the same thing happened to Yiyong, he didn't know how to deal with it.
Instead, Mikoto just glanced vaguely ahead, her lips opening and closing again several times.
This time, just looking at Yiyong's expression, she understood that no matter how exaggerated her movements and expressions were today, it was impossible for him to back down and change his mind.
"Although my mother doesn't want to say that......"
After brewing for a long time, Uchiha Mikoto still spoke, "But Yanhuo and Wen, there is a high probability that they are no longer alive." ”
"What ......"
Sasuke knew little about the close connection between the ninja's disappearance and death, and his eyes widened on the spot.
Mikoto compared Sasuke's horror with the look on Yoshiyong's face and sighed, "But I guess, you've thought of this a long time ago, haven't you?" Bravery. ”
"Yes."
Yi Yong replied, his voice bouncing back from the bottom of a deep well.
It's because I'm so used to the term "missing" that the nightmare that hasn't appeared for a long time has once again entangled Yiyong. There are some things that you will never get used to.
"Even if you know that, you still have to go with Zhishui to find out?"
"Yes."
Yi Yong's eyebrows were slightly lowered, and the shape of his eyes was a little sharp, "If you don't find someone to do this, things may happen to other clansmen." ”
There was another reason why Yi Yong did not say.
That is, as long as the murderer has not been found, the surviving Uchiha Choi and Uchiha Gan will be like him back then, living in the cage of guilt he created for himself.
As a client, once they recover, they will inevitably take more drastic actions as revenge, so as to take their own lives.
In Yiyong's opinion, this is another reason why he must do this, and it is also the reason why all the ghost slayer members want to hunt evil spirits-
Avoid more people and become beings who are haunted by hatred and pain for life like them.
Uchiha Mikoto sighed.
Just when Sasuke and Yoshito thought that she was going to show her mother's identity and forbid Yoshiyong to step out of the house, Mikoto said, "In that case, Mom won't stop you." ”
Sasuke stood up all of a sudden, "Mom! ”
Mikoto reached out and pressed Sasuke's shoulder, and her gentle eyes fell on Yoshiyu.
"That kid is a thoughtful person, and when you are with him, I am not worried about your safety.
"It's just that you don't want to be a ninja all along, but now you have to take the initiative to go out for most of the things that don't work, and you will inevitably see the dirty and cruel side of this world.
"Itachi only went around the battlefield once, and when he came back, it was like a different person. Although I have matured a little, I have gradually become silent, and I have been worried that the same thing will happen to you and Sasuke. Now, although the war is over, the cold-bloodedness and cruelty between ninjas will not be diminished by the war, but will be more despicable and insidious......"
As she spoke, she beckoned to Yiyong.
Yiyong hesitated for two or three seconds, got up and walked over to Mai Qin and knelt down to sit down, while Mai Constant took both children into his arms at the same time.
"Children grow up when they see cruel things. I also know that you can't always be what you are.
"Even as you grow normally, you will gradually become hungry for power, for fame, for your father's harshness, for your mother's chatter, and even for the gap between your brothers...... And the outside world will exacerbate this change. ”
Sasuke looked at Yoshito in a bit of confusion, not knowing why his mother was saying these things.
He is sure that he will not become the person his mother said, as for Yiyong, he has nothing to do with the word change.
"But no matter how cruel and unreasonable the world outside the village may seem, you will never change the love of your father, mother and brother until you return home.
"So, Mom wants to be brave, and no matter what you see outside this time, you must always remember what I just said.
"When you come back, I hope you are still the child who can't lie, and you can still have a gentle heart that is rare among the clansmen, and don't turn yourself into a really cold person in order to deal with a cold world."
She moved her warm hand to Yiyong and stretched out a little thumb, "Can you promise Mom this?" ”
Without waiting for Yoshiyoshi to react, Sasuke hung up his little thumb first.
He raised his head arrogantly, "Anyway, no matter what happens in the future, I won't become as annoying as my mother said." Yi Yong, you must think the same way, right?! ”
Yiyong didn't speak, just nodded slightly, hung up his fingers, and reached a precious contract between mother and son.
Mikoto smiled contentedly, and at the same time covered up a trace of worry in her heart with a happy smile.
Her gaze went beyond the two small brains with black hair, and looked at the night scene outside the window that was deeper than Yiyong's eyes, and the uneasiness in her heart was gradually magnified by the unknown future.
[I only hope that this is not the last time I will make this kind of agreement with you.] 】
