During the Uchiha relocation, time did not stand still.

The country of water, which closes itself and pursues the change of the law, is the Akatsuki organization, like the country of thunder who seeks peace with Konoha with a skeptical attitude......

All the forces are on the map of the ninja world, becoming a circle of greater or less, and influencing each other.

Because there were too many things to relocate, the clan did not have too many people to continue to maintain the focus on intelligence, and after arriving in the inner city of Kyoto, Itachi temporarily cut off his knowledge of external intelligence.

Even the news about the land of thunder planning to sue for peace, it was only after Konoha sent someone to inform the Daimyo's mansion first, and Sakamoto Natsuharu sent Nagata to inform the Uchiha.

"Originally, I planned to deliver the worship post first and then come to the door, but I didn't expect that in the end, I would be summoned by His Royal Highness Xia Qing, which was rude."

In the Daimyo's Mansion, Itachi, who learned the news, hurried to the Daimyo's Mansion.

And it wasn't the Daimyo of the Fire Nation who was in charge of receiving him.

Rather, it is Sakamoto Natsuharu who is the eldest son and Sakamoto Yusheng, the second son.

However, he did not rush to the idea of being snubed and despised.

Nowadays, although the daimyo is still in power on the surface, the daimyo is also involved in various foreign affairs.

But in fact, according to Itachi's feelings, it was Sakamoto Natsuharu who was the eldest son of the eldest son who made the decisions and decisions in this daimyo's mansion, not the elderly daimyo.

】

It's just that because the daimyo hasn't passed away yet, he still sits in this seat.

Perhaps because of the tradition of the daimyo lineage, they seem to like to let the people who do practical things hide behind them, while those who have handed over their rights stand in the way of the open.

"Why, the Weasel Patriarch is dedicated to his work, I appreciate it very much."

Under the low city wall, Sakamoto Natsuharu, who was standing at the gate of the city, smiled softly and stepped forward, "And I heard that as soon as the Itachi patriarch finished moving, he was going to be busy going to the battlefield and doing some important things to protect his family and defend the country, I admire it very much." ”

His posture and movements were different from the last time Itachi saw him.

The muscles are full, and they are more robust than the last time they met.

In terms of dressing, he is no longer the appearance of a noble son, but wears relatively tight-fitting clothes that are convenient for movement.

It seems that during this time, Natsuharu Sakamoto attaches great importance to physical exercise.

But......

He hadn't yet begun to learn the tempering method, which Itachi could tell.

"Yes, my eldest brother talks about you a lot."

Sakamoto Yusheng stood behind his brother with a smile and accosted, "Originally, on the day you officially moved here, he also planned to prepare a generous gift to come to the door, but if you think about it carefully, you should have a lot of things to do, so you didn't bother. ”

Compared with Sakamoto Xia Qing, Sakamoto Yusheng is no different from before, he looks sick and does not exercise more physically.

"His Royal Highness Xia Qing has a heart."

Itachi replied politely, and then hurriedly asked, "But as mentioned in His Highness's letter, Yunyin Village intends to sue for peace, what is the specific situation?" ”

When he heard the news, he was quite surprised.

Because they couldn't understand why Yunyin Village did what they did, could it be that they had already extended their eyes to the upper echelons of the Uchiha, understood the power of the Uchiha, and even understood their plans to reinforce the front line?

No, unlikely.

Although the Uchiha is not without breaking away from the family relationship and colluding with external forces to murder his family, the high-level of the family based on the contradictions in Konoha has been relieved of the previous suspicions, and the radicals and conservatives are definitely united.

And some neutrals, who have always been modest, are on their side no matter what decisions they make.

In this case, Konoha was empty of troops on his side, and Yun Yin took the initiative to sue for peace, which was really a bit unbelievable.

"Let's get in the car first."

Natsuharu Sakamoto did not immediately reply, and motioned for Itachi to keep up with him.

The three of them got into the carriage that stopped near the city wall and entered the daimyo's mansion.

"My father didn't know much about it anymore."

Sakamoto Natsuharu didn't hide the fact that he was already in power, "So we won't go to the attic, let's go to my little courtyard." ”

"If the eldest brother's mansion is a small courtyard, then my mansion is not only a palm-sized place."

Sakamoto Yusheng was giggling next to him, "In this kind of thing, it can't be exaggerated like a biography, only the right way can it make people feel reasonable." ”

His words meant the movements of Yunyin Village.

The two sang and harmonized, leading to the fact that Yunyin Village might propose a peace in the near future.

The pace of his conversation is slow, and every time he says something, he has to go around in a big circle.

Itachi hadn't been in contact with someone like them for a while, and when he was busy with Uchiha's affairs, he attached great importance to efficiency, but he was also a little unaccustomed to understanding why there was always a distance between ninjas and them.

However, it was obvious that they all generally thought that Yunyin Village's actions were too unreasonable and obviously had other intentions.

"The news is basically true, Yunyin Village has not sent troops to reinforce the front-line troops, and the commander-in-chief of the Konoha front line has put forward the idea of consultation."

Subsequently, Natsuharu Sakamoto talked about the news obtained by the intelligence chain of their Daimyo Mansion.

When Konoha delivered the news, it was already a few days ago.

At that time, the five generations and others were still skeptical about this matter.

But now, that is changing.

"Konoha attaches great importance to the negotiation of peace, and it seems that it is about to be unable to support it, and it will hurt the root."

Then, Natsuharu Sakamoto observed Itachi's demeanor and made a summary with light strokes.

However, in his tone and words, he didn't have much emotion about the fundamental things that the armed forces of the Fire Country, 'Konoha', might be hurt by the war, not to mention 'panic', 'heaviness', and 'worry'...... ideas.

"After all, in the last war, Konoha's battle losses have reached a relatively heavy state, so much so that the three generations need to pull down their old faces and negotiate peace with Iwain Village."

For Sakamoto Natsuharu's observational eyes, Itachi's demeanor was always calm, "After the battle, there was another series of accidents. ”

"Now that a new war has resumed, after the fifth generation took the throne, although Konoha is stable on the surface, but secretly, the people who hold the authority in the village know that the village is already at the end of a strong crossbow, and it may collapse at any time."

"A lot of people in the village have started to become numb."

In the art of war, there is often a saying about morale, like the concept of 'one drum, then decline, and three exhaustion'.

In a short period of time, Konoha has experienced the morale of the Feng Shui Gate era, and the stability of the Sarutobi Restoration Era has not been before and after, and now it has reached the point of doing its best in the Tsunade era.

"Then, according to the Weasel Patriarch, how should we deal with ourselves?"

Sakamoto Natsuharu asked expectantly, "Konoha knows that Yunyin Village has ulterior motives, and he also hopes that the peace negotiation can be successful. ”

"And we also know that Yun Yin has other plans, so how should we face this peace?"

"Do we choose against, or do we ...... Accept? ”

And Sakamoto Yusheng didn't speak, he also looked at Itachi, waiting for his reply.

"My thoughts are ......"

Itachi's face was calm, and his mind was full of thoughts.

After a moment of silence, he replied softly, "Conform to the will of the people." ”

"Oh?"

Sakamoto Natsuharu was a little surprised, "I thought that the Itachi patriarch was aggressive, and he planned to go to the front line desperately, so that those jackals, tigers and leopards in Yunyin Village could see the power of the Uchiha." ”

"Nobody likes war, Your Highness."

Itachi shook his head at the two brothers' gazes, emphasizing this fact, "If you don't have to, who wants to be on the battlefield every day, it's not a beautiful place. ”

"Since Yun Yin has the idea of peace, then let it be arranged by Konoha."

"We Uchiha will not stand on the opposite side of peace and be the enemy of those who hope and desire peace, so we will not oppose peace."

"And this matter is a matter of Konoha and Yunyin, and it has nothing to do with us Uchiha."

"In the end, whether the intentions of the Cloud Hidden Village can succeed, or whether Konoha can successfully negotiate peace, there is no loss for us Uchiha."

Besides, Itachi didn't think that Konoha and Yungakure could really reconcile.

Although he didn't know what Yunyin Village's plot was.

But it was only a matter of time before the Uchiha made a move.
