The cool breeze of autumn looks cold and gloomy,

Today's Konoha Village is devoid of the beauty and joy of the past, and is full of depression and sorrow.

Everyone was immersed in the work of rebuilding their homes, and everyone's faces were heavy and serious.

The emotion of laughter, it seems, has left the hearts of almost everyone in this short period of time.

When the fourth generation Hokage took office, how enthusiastic Konoha was in power,

During his tenure, how dazzling, how shocking, and inspiring.

So now, how painful and desolate Konoha is because of his passing.

It's not just Konoha who is building the reconstruction, but the Uchiha has also been cleaning and tidying up the collapsed houses all the time.

As the patriarchs, the Uchiha Fugaku couple have not returned home for three consecutive days, seeing their young children, and have been busy with the work of the clan and receiving some ...... Difficult to accept the facts.

"Mother's ......"

The door of the Konoha Garrison,

Itachi held Zuosuke in his arms, looking at his tired and haggard mother who came out of the security department, and his heart was a little heavy.

He had never seen such a mother, even when she had just given birth to Zuosuke, she seemed very strong.

After all...... She has the body foundation of the upper ninja.

"My little Zuosuke, was you scared the other night?"

Mikoto bent down, pressed her cheek against the face of Zuosuke in Itachi's arms, and muttered softly, "Let Mom take a good look at whether my brother is protecting you." ”

As she spoke, she repeatedly confirmed Zuosuke's emotional and physical condition.

She breathed a sigh of relief when he responded with a smile on his outstretched little palm.

After that, Mai Trin set her eyes on her eldest son, who had always been at ease, "Itachi, how is the situation at home?" ”

There was a thick exertion in her tone, but the gentleness was as good as ever.

As for why he didn't ask if he was scared or something, or if he was appeased like Sasuke......

That's because she knows her eldest son very well.

Mikoto had probably heard from her husband about the ability of this eldest son.

"Everything is fine."

Itachi softly handed her the left assistant in his arms, "There are many children and pregnant women in the clan who do not have a place to live, so in order to avoid accidents, I took it upon myself to tidy up the house and lend them a temporary residence. ”

"Well done."

Mai Qin replied with relief, holding her little son tightly in her hands, but her eyes showed sadness.

From that night on, the peaceful childhood that Sasuke should have had may be in vain.

They can't create a relatively harmonious environment for all of the Uchiha's next generation to grow up in like the other children in Konoha.

"Mother...... Can I meet my father? ”

Itachi stood in the doorway, hesitantly looking at the situation inside the garrison.

Stern-faced clansmen were patrolling, guarding against anyone else.

And that includes yourself.

So just now, he could only ask other people to help spread the word and call his mother out.

"Itachi, take your brother home."

Mai Trin hesitated for a moment, "When your father finishes taking care of some things, I'll go home with you." ”

Although the eldest son's thoughts and actions seem to be very mature, she instinctively does not want the eldest son to participate in some things.

"Mother, Hui and they have come to me."

And Itachi didn't hide what she meant, and said calmly, "I already know everything I need to know." ”

Almost instantly, he noticed his mother's expression become serious and cold.

Itachi had never seen such a look on her mother's face, and she had always been a very gentle person.

"They've been to you? What did they tell you? ”

However, the cold demeanor was only for a moment, and soon, Mai Trito realized that the person in front of her was her eldest son, and not one of those who had evil intentions.

She suppressed the coldness in her heart again, and asked softly, "Itachi, I know that you and Hui used to be friends, but ......"

"There are some things that cannot be forgiven, what they told you, I want you to tell me."

"They...... Do you know something about what happened that night? ”

As she spoke, Mikoto's eyes scanned left and right to make sure that the people next to her hadn't heard.

She didn't want to affect Itachi because of what happened to Hui and those people.

She was afraid that his people would confuse him with them.

Itachi did not answer his mother's question, but continued to insist, "Mother, I want to talk to my father directly. ”

This should be the first time that the mother has questioned her privacy, and it can be seen that she cares a lot about this incident.

After all, his two friends and his own efforts were all in vain in an inexplicable incident, which is indeed unacceptable.

However, Itachi does not intend to talk to her mother directly here.

Although her mother used to be a ninja, and as the wife of the patriarch, her status in the clan is not low.

But compared to her father, she still knows too little about herself.

And Mai Tamin is also the first time to see such a persistent and tough Itachi.

Standing across from him, she stared at him for a moment, then finally compromised, "...... Then come in with me. ”

With his mother's lead, Itachi easily entered the Konoha Garrison.

And the atmosphere inside is even more serious.

Almost everyone in the clan has a straight face and looks preoccupied.

And here, he can't see the ninjas in the position of lower ninja, everyone is at least a mid-ninja level position, and they are more or less old people.

"The top management of Konoha has informed me that the next reconstruction plan will be discussed next week, and when the time comes, I will try to get the funds to fill it."

After walking up the stairs and around the hallway, Mai Tamin led Itachi to the door of a room.

Before he could step inside, Itachi could hear his father's voice coming from the room, the same exhaustion in his tone as his mother's.

Immediately after, the figure of the Uchiha Fire Gate walked out of it.

He nodded when he saw Mai Trin.

After seeing Itachi, his expression was a little stunned at first, and then he actually nodded at him.

"Who's coming?"

The Uchiha Fire Gate's footsteps stopped, making Fugaku inside very puzzled.

"Father, it's me."

Itachi also nodded in return to the Uchiha Fire Gate, and then he took a step forward and walked into the house.

The furnishings in the house are simple, the most eye-catching is the shelves full of books,

Then a desk, a couple of chairs,

On the table was a lamp and a few papers.

"Itachi?"

Sitting behind his desk, Fuyue frowned, "Why are you here?" ”

And after seeing Mikoto behind him and the left suke in his arms, his brow softened a little, and he stood up and came to the door.

"Itachi said, there's something I want to talk to you about."

Uchiha Mikoto explained, "You can talk to your father, I'll take Sasuke to the rooftop for a walk." ”

The tedious thoughts of the past few days have made her extremely tired.

She needed to look at her young child and soothe the sorrow in her heart.

"Come in."

Uchiha Fugaku didn't hesitate, turned sideways, and motioned for Itachi to enter the door.

Immediately afterwards, he and his wife signaled and closed the door again.

Fugaku could probably guess what Itachi was going to say to him next, and it was nothing more than about Uchiha Aoto and Uchiha Maji.
