Chapter Seventy-Five: I'll Definitely Bring Itachi Back
Outside Konoha Village, Uchiha Obito wearing an orange mask was standing in a hidden position, coldly watching the back of Kakashi entering the village.
"Truly, truly. You've failed again! Do you really want me to snatch the body back? That will leave evidence, oh, I said earlier that the Uchiha kid is not simple, do you want us to sneak attack once! Hahaha. ”
Obito listened to the sound of Bai Jue's chatter in his ears, and it was rare that he didn't stop drinking, in his opinion, the seven shinobi sent out were cannon fodder themselves, and he never thought that he could kill Uchiha Isamu and Tsunade with a few people.
It's just that what he didn't think about was that the assassination team was like a toy, it would shatter when touched, and there was no temptation to find any useful information at all, let alone hole cards, and even Uchiha Yu's full strength was not forced out.
"Seven wastes with different hearts, if they die, they will die, and they are not allowed to do anything to Kakashi without my permission!" Obito turned his head to stare at Bai Jue with a serious warning.
"Ho ho ho, we really miss the old love with the soil! Well, it's just that Uchiha Yu has been left with evidence, and according to his character, he won't give up, and you'll have something to do right away! Hahaha. ”
Bai Jue seemed to have thought of something interesting, and said excitedly.
"Oh yes, I forgot to tell you that the Uchiha Itachi you met last time left Konoha and don't know what happened! Shall we arrest him, and ask him, Obito! ”
"Huh? Let's investigate what happened to Konoha first, and send someone to follow that kid. When Obito heard the news, he immediately sensed that something was wrong, and combined with the appearance of Tsunade and the two of them returning to Konoha from the Land of Fire in a hurry, he concluded that something big must have happened.
As for the fact that Uchiha Isamu would use this attack to make trouble for Kirikure, it was not within his scope of concern at all. This ninja village should have died a long time ago, he won't blink his eyes no matter how many people he sacrifices, and maybe he can consume Konoha's power.
On the other side, Uchiha Yu, who had calmed Tsunade's mood, had just returned home, and Uchiha Fugaku, who had returned home early, and his mother Mikoto were waiting for him in the living room.
Seeing Uchiha Yong enter the door, they all looked at him, and then seemed to be afraid that he would be worried, and tried to pretend to be calm, but the sadness on his face could not be concealed at all.
"Yong, thank you for your hard work. Itachi's thing, I didn't think of it either! Uchiha Fugaku hesitated for a long time, but sighed and said disappointedly.
In his opinion, everything in the family is moving towards normalization, and it is at such a juncture that this incident happened, whether it is as a father or as a patriarch, it is difficult to escape the blame.
If it weren't for the eldest son, I'm afraid that the family's efforts during this time would have been in vain, and when I thought of the final decision about Itachi, I felt even more sad in my heart, and I didn't know if Yong's sentence was serious about being personally responsible for killing.
When the picture of the brothers fratricidal came to mind, I shuddered all over, and I wanted to persuade him, but I didn't know how to speak.
Uchiha Mikoto next to her, clasped the teacup in her hand with both hands, as if she couldn't feel the temperature brought by the hot tea at all, about this matter just now, Fuyue had already dragged out all of his wife, after all, these things can't be hidden from the closest people.
Itachi Uchiha is destined to not be able to return to Konoha in the future, and instead of letting Mikoto find out about it herself, it is better to say it in advance so that she has enough time to accept it.
Also as an excellent ninja, she knew the news and knew that there was no room for recovery, but as a mother, she couldn't face reality for the time being.
Seeing her husband Fugaku wanting to speak and stopping, she finally couldn't help but ask Uchiha Yong worriedly, "Yong, do you have to hunt down Itachi?" ”
When Uchiha heard his mother's trembling, sad, and disappointed words, his heart suddenly became uncomfortable, but there were some things that could not tell them the truth for the time being.
I had to reluctantly show a smile and try to comfort Mikoto, and then said softly. "Mother, no matter what happens, I will definitely let you see Itachi again!"
This is also his promise to his mother, although he can't tell you the truth about Itachi, but the next time we see you, it will be the moment when the truth is revealed.
Hearing his words, Uchiha Mikoto's eyes showed a hint of expectation, as if she had grasped some kind of life-saving straw, looked at him nervously and said, "Promise Mom, you must bring Itachi back!" ”
"Don't worry, Mother!" Uchiha nodded firmly, and then said to Fugaku, "Father, don't let the clan know about this matter for the time being, Uncle Yashiro will trouble you to talk about it." ”
"Okay, I'll go right away." Uchiha Fugaku also heard his son's answer just now, and after seeing that he promised Mikoto that he would bring Itachi back alive, his heavy heart was relieved a lot, after all, as long as he lived, there might be a slight possibility to change the outcome.
Two days passed quickly, and the turmoil caused by this incident quickly subsided in the village, and most of the villagers did not understand the situation, but simply ate melons, and after no new news came out, no one discussed it too much.
It's just that in the streets and alleys, when everyone eats, they can't help but take the topic of the big snake pill that betrayed the village, and they actually dare to come to the topic of sneak attack as a topic of conversation after dinner.
The various families of Konoha don't care much about Tuanzang's death, but the elf patriarchs can still sense the undercurrent surging under this matter, and it seems that it is not so simple.
But no one wants to be this bird, after all, the new official has three fires in office, and if one of them accidentally burns on his own body, it will be worth the loss.
The Hokage Building, the conference room, and Tsunade held the first all-high-level meeting since taking office, and even small ninjas who don't usually have to attend were invited.
This is also what Uchiha Yong proposed, the best way to divert everyone's attention is not to give a more attention-grabbing matter, and it just so happens that the assassination of the Hokage by Kirigaku will be much more important than Danzo.
At the same time, I can also take this opportunity to observe which families are useful, which families need to be excluded, and the follow-up reform of Konoha will definitely involve the interests of some families.
Relying on the power of Hinata, Uchiha, and Nara alone, it may be possible to forcibly push it, but if the people below are disobedient, it will inevitably be a troublesome thing to toss.
Now Konoha needs to develop more steadily, and a certain great man once said that only by winning over a part, dividing a part, and striking a part, can we better integrate the power of the collective.
The heads of the families sitting in the conference room were talking in low voices with their familiar friends, their eyes focused on the two vacant positions in the middle.
At this moment, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open, and after everyone saw the comer, the conference room instantly fell silent.
It was Tsunade and Uchiha who slowly walked in from the door.
