40. Light and darkness

"Hehe, when are you going to learn to pat yourself on the back?"

The third generation teased Zhishui, but judging from his expression, it was very useful.

"I'm just telling the truth."

Zhishui has a serious face and is full of loyalty to the three generations.

Hearing this, the three generations looked at the young man in front of them more and more kindly, and asked with concern:

"I've been asked to do too many tasks lately, and my body shouldn't be able to bear it, right? In this way, you can rest for a few days and go back to the clan to have a look. I've heard that your people seem to have a lot of criticism of you, and you need to get on good terms with them. ”

It seems to be a concern, but in fact it is tentative.

Shisui was not a fool, and immediately heard the meaning of the three generations, so he quickly bowed and replied, "Thank you Hokage-sama for your concern." ”

Then, he expressed his concern for the Uchiha clan.

Because Shisui was too close to the Konoha higher-ups, it caused dissatisfaction among the radicals in the clan, and at tonight's clan meeting, those people were very likely to attack him.

If the radicals gain power, the Uchiha clan will go further to the opposite side of the village.

"Ugh."

After hearing this, the three generations let out a long sigh.

Then, in his heart, he made a confession before stopping the water:

"It's all my fault.

During my reign, I was unable to resolve the grievances between the Uchiha and the village, and finally had to hand over this burden to the four generations. Unexpectedly, the fourth generation of eyes died young, and in desperation, I could only return to this position.

Today's village, after the Nine-Tails Rebellion a few years ago, still hasn't recovered and is very weak.

And the major ninja villages led by Yun Yin are all eyeing Konoha fiercely.

At this juncture, if something happens to the Uchiha clan again, it will be a fatal blow to Konoha and internal strife will inevitably lead to external strife.

When the time comes, in case Konoha ......

After I die, how can I have the face to go to the Pure Land to see the first and second generations of adults! ”

After saying these heart-wrenching words, the three generations seem to have become much older.

When Zhishui heard this, he was deeply moved in his heart, and couldn't help blurting out:

"Hokage-sama, I will definitely stop my clansmen and never let the kind of thing you worry about happen."

Well, that's what you're waiting for.

The three generations looked solemn, looked at Zhishui with burning eyes, and said emotionally:

"Shisui, your grandfather Uchiha Kagami is my dear friend, and in my heart, I have always regarded you as my own grandson.

Kagami is an amazing ninja who has spent his life interpreting the Will of Fire. I have always believed that you will be able to carry on Kagami's legacy and protect the future of Konoha.

It's all up to you. ”

At this moment, he entrusted the burden of a thousand catties to the young man in front of him.

Zhishui was shocked, then knelt down on one knee and said in a deep voice: "Uchiha stop the water, swear to complete the task!" ”

"Good, good!"

Miyome smiled kindly again, his eyes full of relief.

first give care, then stage a bitter plan, and finally move out of the ancestors who stop the water, and use the will of fire to engage in moral kidnapping.

This set of words and skills combination boxing for the purpose of the three generations has been practiced to the realm of perfection.

After seeing the water stop and leave.

Miyome sat back in his chair and continued to ponder.

In order to deal with the Uchiha, in addition to stopping the water, he also has the chess piece of Itachi in his hand, which can be said to be a two-pronged move.

But even so, the three generations are still not at ease, after all, Shisui and Itachi are Uchiha's people after all.

Never trust an Uchiha 100%.

This is what the third generation of the purpose of the teacher, the second generation Hokage Senjuma, told him before his death.

I have to guard against it.

Ten minutes later.

Kakashi appeared in the Hokage's office.

"Come to think of it, there's no one in the entire Shadows better than you. Only you, who have the Sharingan, know the Uchiha well enough to have the strength to infiltrate their clan. Kakashi, this task is up to you. ”

The third generation said earnestly.

He asks Kakashi to secretly enter the Minamiga Shrine and spy on the intelligence of the Uchiha Clan.

"Yes."

Kakashi got down on one knee and answered with his head down.

He had always been afraid of trouble, and he was naturally very big for such a tricky task, but in the face of Hokage's orders, he had no room to refuse.

Miyome also seemed to understand what Kakashi was thinking, and added gently:

"Remember, take your own protection first, and withdraw as soon as you find out that something is wrong, and don't be reckless."

"I see, Hokage-sama."

Kakashi answered again.

Although Miyome said this, Kakashi knew that the safety of the village was at stake, and he had to get valuable information no matter what.

You can't go home empty-handed.

Kakashi thought about his plan to infiltrate as he walked out of the Hokage building.

Unexpectedly, I ran into an acquaintance around the corner of the corridor.

Danzo.

"Kakashi, I appreciate your performance in the shadows, and I even want to dig you down to the roots." Danzou stopped Kakashi and got straight to the point.

Kakashi's face changed, and he politely refused, "Please don't laugh, Danzo-sama." ”

"No, the root is more suitable for you than the dark part, because you have dark qualifications."

Danzo's gaze was meaningful, as if he had already seen through the darkness that Kakashi had buried deep in his heart.

He knew that the young man in front of him, who seemed to be loyal to the will of fire, had actually always had a lot of complaints about the three generations in his heart.

Because.

The suicide of Qimu Shuomao was indirectly caused by the three generations.

In addition, Danzou also hinted to Kakashi that Miyome, who claimed to be a pacifist, inadvertently expanded the war and became the culprit who forced Obito and Rin to die.

Later, in order to restore the throne, the third generation forbade the dark department to participate in the war on the night of the nine tails, killing Kakashi's teacher, the fourth generation.

Although Kakashi didn't believe these conspiracy theories of Danzou in the end, the seeds of doubt would quietly take root once planted.

Isn't it.

"Lord Tuanzang, if there is nothing else, I'll go first."

Kakashi had no intention of entanglement with Danzo and bypassed the latter to leave.

Danzo raised his cane, stopped Kakashi again, and narrowed his eyes and asked:

"The third generation is looking for you to infiltrate the Uchiha's clan land, right? For such a dangerous mission, it would be too much for you to go alone. ”

Without waiting for Kakashi to answer, he took out another signal scroll from his bosom and told Kakashi:

"Don't worry, the roots under my command will be fully mobilized tonight to surround the Uchiha's clan land. As soon as you discover that the Uchiha has rebellious intentions or is in danger, pull open this signal scroll, and the root will support you as soon as possible. ”

Danzo's words made Kakashi feel the seriousness of the situation again, but he asked quietly on the surface:

"Does Hokage-sama know about this?"

Tuan Zang shook his head and said solemnly:

"The three generations are too indecisive, and they must be decisive to deal with the Uchiha and take thunderous measures. If he doesn't want to carry this pot, let me, the Hokage, assist him. ”

Kakashi fell silent when he heard this.

He has been a ninja for so many years, so he naturally knows that the three generations and Danzo are a pair of light and darkness in Konoha.

No one can do without anyone.

Therefore, even the absurd thing that Danzo did to assassinate the Hokage was finally forgiven by the three generations.

There are some things, although the three generations oppose it on the surface, but secretly they all acquiesce to Tuan Zang to do it.

Is it the same this time?

After some hesitation, Kakashi took the signal scroll from Danzou's hand.

Watching Kakashi's back leave, Danzo's eyes flickered.

He couldn't wait to destroy the Uchiha, in addition to the fact that the Uchiha threatened the peace of Konoha, there was also a reason that he coveted the Uchiha's writing wheel.

But if tonight's operation fails, it doesn't matter.

Kakashi was sent by the Hokage, and if the matter gets bigger, it will be the responsibility of the three generations, and when the time comes, Danzou can also take the opportunity to force Sarutobi to abdicate.

One way or another, he won.

Soon it was late afternoon, and it was getting dark.

In the gym, I had dinner in a hurry, and my nephew Itachi Uchiha also arrived on time.

Itachi followed his father's instructions and took him to tonight's clan meeting.

"Close the door early and rest, I'll go back as soon as I go."

After giving Samui a word, he went out with his nephew.

The two uncles and nephews walked through the streets of Konoha and didn't speak all the way.

Arrived at the entrance of the clan land.

Itachi casually raised his head and looked at the few tall buildings around the clan land.

He could sense that the dark department had significantly increased its manpower in the past two days, and at this time, he was probably in the high-rise building, monitoring Uchiha's movements from all directions.

Looking at the Uchiha clan land again, there was a peaceful atmosphere, and ordinary clansmen were completely unaware of the danger that might come.

Itachi glanced at the side of his uncle's face one last time, and the latter was expressionless and couldn't guess what he was thinking.

I hope my uncle won't go crazy at the clan meeting.

Itachi prayed silently in his heart.

As night falls, a new moon hangs on the branches.

By the faint moonlight, the two uncles and nephews came to the main hall of Nanga Shrine and opened the seventh tatami mat, revealing a secret passage.

Along the long corridor, the two soon approached the underground chamber where the clan meeting was held.

As soon as I pushed the door, I heard the voices of people boiling and there was a commotion.
