One moment it was still a trace of nostalgia in the tea room, and the next moment it was suddenly blown away by a suppressed anger.

Uchiha Fugaku looked directly at the son of the white fangs who had rebelled against him, and his eyes were scarlet and he asked.

"DID YOU KNOW... The meaning of what you say. ”

When he heard that the whereabouts of Zhishui in the Fog Hidden Battlefield were unknown, the restlessness in Fu Yue's heart was already a little difficult to suppress.

When the word 'defection' lands...

Fu Yue had to 'see' the true intention of this son of white fangs again.

"DID YOU KNOW... Who were you Hokage going to last time you sent this kind of notification to our Uchiha? ”

"You still want to do it again?!"

Betrayal, defection...

Such words are too eye-catching on Fuyue's side.

The last time the people were deceived by this... When he drove his friend's child, the genius of the clan, out of the clan and tattooed the word 'traitor' on his back...

He Fuyue didn't manage anything...

Even if he thought he should have known that it wouldn't be like that, knowing that there might be something else going on in this...

However, he still failed to do anything.

Because in the end, it wasn't Konoha who drove Seiichi out and excluded him...

It's the Uchiha.

It's a machia.

The hearts of the people are so clear about love and hate that they will be blinded by others...

And he, the patriarch, as long as there is no definite evidence... You can't do anything.

Whether it's fighting the will of the Konoha higher-ups alone, or leading the fan clan to ask for an explanation... All have the potential to push the Uchiha into the abyss from which they will never recover.

He... We can't lead our people to an unpredictable future because we are ashamed of our ancestors.

But it was the one he gave up, the child of his best friend...

But he relied on himself to climb back step by step, take back everything that belonged to him, and take revenge on the people who had framed him.

Fugaku is proud of him... I also blame myself.

All he could do was inferior to this kid...

That's why...

Fugaku would never believe in the so-called 'defection' of Konoha again.

Defected?

Defection again?

Or happens to be another rising star of my Uchiha clan?

Scold...

If you, the four generations of Hokage, are going to play such a trick...

Before that, it was not a wise decision for you to push down the three generations.

After a little silence in the room, Fu Yue seemed to have restrained some of his emotions, but his eyes were still scarlet.

"I should be able to think... This is another Hokage series, another fabricated conspiracy? ”

At this point, Kakashi had to frown and retort, "No... Patriarch Fuyue was a little worried. ”

"Worried? Hmph, hum..."Fu Yue sneered in a low voice as if laughing at himself, "One of the things that I, Fu Yue, has done the most sorry thing for my clan in my life, is to think of you too simply..."

"So much so that Chengyi was wronged and his clan was deceived."

Kakashi frowned and closed his eyes, then clenched his fists and sighed:

"Huh... Patriarch Fuyue, if I decided that stopping the water was a defection, why did I come to you? Why did I share this information with you? Why do you have to explain the situation with Makoto? ”

Fu Yue paused for a moment when he heard this, and seemed to feel that there was no lack of truth in this statement.

Kakashi looked at him firmly, "I believe him, Patriarch Fugaku. ”

"You... Trust him? ”

Who to believe?

Stop water?

You outsiders who have nothing to do with him?

"Heh... Why? ”

"Believe in him."

Fugaku: "..."

...

After a long silence, he finally said bluntly, "I don't believe you, Kakashi. ”

"I don't need you to believe it, because I don't trust you either, Patriarch Fugaku."

Kakashi's eyes closed, and there seemed to be anger in his words.

"I trust Seiichi, and I hope you can trust him."

"Of course I trust Seiichi, but..."

"Then why have you always refused to give Seiichi a chance to speak, just using concern as an excuse and not wanting to listen to Seiichi's request at all?"

Kakashi interrupted Fugaku's words reluctantly, as if he finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"He's here to help him! I need you to help him too! I think you'll help him! ”

His words were full of anger and straightforwardness.

"What about you?! You're just... In self-righteous teaching him, self-righteousness... Is this help? ”

"Didn't he know he needed to rest? He just knew he couldn't rest yet! ”

"If you really want to make up for your mistakes, you might as well shut up and let us finish talking!"

After the irrepressible outburst of emotion, Kakashi seemed a little tired, but he still looked at Fugaku and the words in his mouth were cold.

"Preachy... It's just a cheap and inferior form of self-satisfaction..."

"You didn't actually do anything to help."

"Kakashi..."

This silver-haired young man with an extremely cold temperament on weekdays would suddenly burst out of his mouth, and even Chengyi on the side couldn't answer for a while.

Fu Yue also seemed to be speechless for a while.

After a long silence, the patriarch was not angry at the imp's rudeness.

Instead, he seemed to have calmed down, and his tone returned to a deep tone.

"Tell me... Seiichi..."

"What do you guys need me to do?"

However, before Makoto could speak, Kakashi was already the first to speak:

"We're going to start a rescue operation, and the goal is to stop the water in the Uchiha."

Fu Yue was stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief:

"Rescue? According to the usual line of thought of your Hokage family... Isn't it time to decide that the water has defected, and then use this as an excuse to hold us accountable Uchiha? ”

“... I don't care what the Hokage thinks the Fugaku patriarch will do, but Mizuto-sensei gave a secret rescue mission with unmistakable accuracy. ”

Kakashi didn't stop at Fugaku's words, he just said in one go:

"It's just... The teacher didn't have enough people, so we had to find members on our own. ”

"No manpower? You don't have enough trustworthy manpower, right? He's the Hokage. ”

The dignified Hokage, who said in Konoha that he lacked manpower?

The current Konoha is not in the period of high incidence of war, and has entered a certain stable situation.

It is true that the living forces in the village have suffered heavy losses... But the people available are not few.

Kakashi shook his head and said, "Maybe so... But it has nothing to do with me. ”

"If Patriarch Fugaku is unwilling to help, please keep it a secret for the time being until our mission succeeds or fails."

"Seiichi believes that Uchiha Shisui will not defect, and there is something strange in the incident... There must be a turnaround in things. ”

"And I... Trust his judgment. ”

Fugaku seems to have finally sorted out the reason for all this.

"You're because of Seiichi's current state... Just came to me? ”

Maybe admitting it here would have made things smoother, but Kakashi was honest:

"No, Seiichi didn't have a very thorough plan at first, but I first proposed this to Seiichi... It's just that I had just returned to the village at that time, and I didn't know the situation in the village. ”

The silver-haired young man rolled his gaze slightly, looking at Fu Yue's face as if there was some kind of disappointment.

"If I had known in advance that there was such a trend within the Uchiha clan, I would definitely not have made such a proposal."

"That's enough."

Fuyue drank it and did not want to continue to stay in the previous matter.

He just nodded deeply: "I see." ”

Then he asked about the rescue:

"Is the approximate location clear?"

Kakashi didn't continue to dwell on it, and answered the matter: "It's not too clear, and at the moment I can only confirm that the place where the incident happened is in the extreme territory around the country of waves. ”

"It's a war zone..."

"Or else? Could it be that the patriarch of Fuyue thinks that the dark team where Zhishui is located is just going out for an outing? ”

Fu Yue frowned, and said in a deep voice: "You didn't understand the meaning of my words!" ”

...

"It's an enemy-occupied area, and it's still behind the defense line of the Foggy Battlefield, so it will be very difficult to launch a rescue operation against it."

Kakashi glanced sideways slightly, "Patriarch Fugaku... Is it clear what the situation is on the battlefield of Fog Hide? ”

"Hmph... Who do you think Konoha is the main force in the direction of the fog? ”

When he mentioned this, Fu Yue felt dissatisfied again.

"Even now, when Konoha is relatively stable, our Uchiha clan is still fighting on the front line, how can I not understand the movements on the battlefield?"

"No wonder—" Kakashi nodded in confusion.

It's no wonder that Seiichi knew that the Uchiha's side was likely to get into trouble, but he still insisted on coming over for help.

It turns out that the Uchiha has information related to the Foggy Hidden Battlefield?

Things seem to have been settled, and Seiichi finally has a chance to speak again.

"I'm sorry Patriarch, I may not be able to go with me this time, so I can only rely on you..."

The slight change in the title made De Fuyue silent slightly, but he still spoke in a deep voice:

"What is this, if something happens to Zhishui, of course we won't give up on him..."

"Seiichi... There will be no second mistake that our people have made in you. ”

"Don't worry, give him to me, I'll mobilize people later..."

Kakashi interrupted Fugaku and said, "Mr. Watergate has only approved one team, and it is a confidential mission, and Patriarch Fuyue should understand the reason. ”

“... Watergate. Fu Yue frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about the reason.

Then he seemed to understand again, and nodded helplessly: "Okay, I know." ”

It seems that this Hokage... Isn't it very comfortable...

"I'll pick the right person and meet you by tomorrow evening."

After getting such a conclusion, Kakashi, who had just spoken out against the offender, buried his head deeply at the moment.

"Patriarch Fuyue, thank you for your understanding and support."

“... It doesn't have to be that way. ”

Fu Yue looked at the deeply drooping head, and seemed to feel something in his heart.

"I apologize to you, Son of the White Fang... Kakashi Hachiki. ”

"Before... But I lost my word. ”

Suddenly, there seemed to be a slight noise outside the tea room, and the three people in the room were all powerful ninjas who were second to none, so naturally they would not be unnoticed.

Fugaku was the first to speak.

"Itachi, eavesdropping is not a polite act."

There was a slight noise outside the house, and the guy seemed to tremble slightly, then gently opened the door and sat on the ground.

"I'm sorry father... I just heard my mother say, Brother Seiichi is here..."

"I didn't know you guys were talking about business..."

Seeing the little brother with a slightly aggrieved expression, Cheng consciously wanted to beckon him over.

But his arm didn't react...

He could only pull out a smile and say, "It's okay, Itachi, we've finished talking here and are about to leave." ”

】

Itachi didn't hear too much crucial information, but vaguely heard that his father seemed to have some kind of task.

This kind of thing is obviously not something he should have heard about...

But Brother Chengyi is leaving?

Got a task again?

"Brother Seiichi..."

"Huh?"

"What about our agreement..."

Fu Yue looked at his son who was still unconsciously leaving, and his brows furrowed slightly: "Itachi! ”

Seiichi was slightly dumbfounded, but he shook his head slightly towards Fuyue.

Then he slowly raised his palm and beckoned to his younger brother outside the door.

Itachi also glanced at the look of his father next to him, and finally got up and came to Seiichi's side.

Seiichi's palm slowly stretched out...

Before the original trip to Shayin, they made an appointment.

The next time I go back to the village... I want the three of them to go and eat Konoha's sweet meatballs together...

If there was another stand-in in the room...

Then he will find that there is a man who looks like a stardust tower, gently holding a young man's arm at this moment...

Then he helped him close his fingers, and finally gently touched the forehead of another, younger teenager.

"I'm sorry, Itachi..."

"Next time."

Seiichi smiled sincerely, but also apologized.

"Trust me... I will definitely keep the agreement between us. ”
