Chapter 333 Uchiha Itachi (Part 1)

Konoha 58 years.

In a corner of Konoha Village.

Cliff top.

There were few people here who knew about it, so when there was a breath coming from behind, the skinny boy knew who it was without having to guess, not to mention that this was something that had been agreed upon long ago.

"Shisui..."

He called the visitor's name with a hint of joy in his voice, and turned around, but when he saw the visitor's condition clearly, he was completely satisfied.

"I'm sorry, Itachi..."

Shisui, who was a few years older than him, had a bloodstain on the right side of his closed face, which went straight to his chin. Judging from the blood that had not yet dried up, it seemed that it would not have been too long before this happened.

Itachi stood aside, silently waiting for his friend to speak.

Soon, Zhisui opened his mouth, his eyes covered with layers of darkness: "I'm sorry, Itachi, I failed..."

When Shisui mentioned the failure, Itachi naturally thought of the meeting before that. At the Nanga Shrine meeting, Shisui promised him that the Uchiha clan and the village would take the first step towards peace.

But compared to things like this, Itachi was more worried about Shisui, whom he respected like an elder brother: "What's wrong with your right eye?"

Zhisui didn't answer immediately, and silently looked at the other side of the cliff, his eyes seemed to have lost their light and became dim.

Itachi had never seen Shisui look like this before. Shisui, who always wore a confident smile in the past, would actually show such a depressed look.

He could no longer suppress the anxiety in his heart: "Who did it?"

Under questioning from his friends, Shisui told the truth solemnly: "Danzo."

Itachi's breathing became difficult, and a picture of a man with a bandage on his head and gloomy eyes appeared in his mind.

Just as he was thinking about it, blood suddenly overflowed from Shisui's mouth in front of him.

Itachi stepped forward worriedly.

Shisui wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand, raised his hand to signal that there was no need to worry, but what he said was despairing: "I have been poisoned by Danzo's men, and there is no way I can save him."

Knowing that his friend's life was about to come to an end, Itachi's heart became extremely heavy and he murmured: "How could this happen..."

Not long ago, the two of them were enjoying themselves together and letting Uchiha integrate into the village. They never thought that now they would have to face the death of their best friend with their own eyes. God had really played a big joke on him.

"Just when I wanted to use other gods to stop the coup, Danzo found me, attacked me unprepared, and took away my right eye."

Shisui recounted the cause and effect, and his voice became weaker: "He doesn't trust me, he doesn't trust me as an Uchiha clan..."

After saying that, he looked into the distance: "Although I have always been unwilling to believe it, the rumors in the clan may be correct. That person may have died at the hands of senior officials."

that person?

A name appeared in Itachi's mind involuntarily.

Uchiha Aokiji...

The first time he heard this name, he was only 4 years old at that time, and his younger brother was still in his mother's belly.

His father took him to the battlefield to experience the cruelty of the battlefield. A few days later, during the practice that day, he had some doubts about the way to hold the kunai and wanted to ask his father for advice immediately.

He walked into his father's room and heard excited sounds coming from inside the sliding door.

"Why is the Fourth Hokage that Namikaze Minato! I don't accept it."

After saying this, another voice sounded: "Keep your voice down, Yashiro."

The calm voice came from his father. Even at home, his father still retained the cautious attitude of a ninja.

"But I just can't accept it. Why when choosing the Fourth Hokage, in addition to Namikaze Minato, there were also Lord Orochimaru, Kato Dan and other ninjas, but Lord Fugaku was not the only one."

Listening to this voice and his father calling him this name, the appearance of this man appeared in young Itachi's mind. He had squinted eyes and white hair. He was a few years older than his father, but he was still his father's subordinate.

After this person finished speaking, someone else made a new voice, which was different from the first two: "Yashiro is right, and I can't agree with it."

The father's voice called out the man's name: "Dahuo..."

The man was probably vindictive, so my father didn't know what to say, so he just called him by his name.

Itachi struggled to recall the message of the name.

This man has sharp eyes and long glossy black hair. Like Yashiro, he is his father's right-hand man.

"I admit that Namikaze Minato is very strong, but becoming Hokage requires not only strength but also qualifications.

"On the battlefield, when the name "Evil Eyes" is mentioned, it is an existence that scares ninjas from all over the world. In terms of strength, Captain Fugaku is not necessarily weaker than Namikaze Minato. In terms of qualifications, when Captain Fugaku is active on the battlefield , this guy Minato might still be playing in the mud there..."

Dao Huo spoke in a very unhappy tone, and became more and more excited as he spoke.

Yashiro also echoed; "If the person who becomes the fourth Hokage this time is Orochimaru, I have nothing to say, but the top management still chose Namikaze Minato.

"It's not like all the ninjas in Konoha Village are dead. Why should a 24-year-old guy become Hokage?"

Inari continued: "Yashiro is right. I think this is a despicable conspiracy by the top brass."

Fugaku stopped him: "Stop talking..."

Dao Huo has been holding grudges for a long time, and even though Fugaku asked him not to say anything, he still refused to give in: "No, I want to say that everyone who has been on the battlefield knows Captain Fugaku's active performance on the battlefield. However, ordinary people in the village don't know much about Captain Fugaku. It is obvious that the higher-ups turned a blind eye to your performance and did not make it public in order to make you lose your advantage in running for the position of Hokage in the future.

"You have also seen the result. When it came time to run for Hokage, Captain Fugaku was not even nominated. You are not even pretending."

After Ino said, Yashiro also burst out: "If not letting Captain Fugaku become Hokage is just one of the top brass's conspiracy, then not letting Orochimaru become Hokage is the second conspiracy of the top brass. After all, everyone knows, Lord Orochimaru and Lord Aojiha used to be close friends. Just like when he became Hokage, under his leadership, it is not hopeless for us, the Uchiha clan, to move closer to the center of power in the future.

"But in the end, even Orochimaru-sama was defeated. The top management of Konoha is forcing us, the Uchiha clan, to go to a dead end."

Inabi pounded the floor with his fist, venting his dissatisfaction: "If Aokiji-sama was still alive back then, the Uchiha clan would never be in this situation..."

The two of them kept arguing, until Fugaku's voice was a little louder than before, and he said "enough" before they were completely silenced.

Fugaku closed his eyes, and when he heard the name "Aoki", memories came to his mind. He glanced at his son, who was eavesdropping by the guard, and said calmly: "Itachi, what's the matter with you?"

Itachi, who was eavesdropping outside the door, was startled because he seemed to have been overheard.

Sure enough, he was still too naive...

Now that it's been discovered, there's nothing you can do.

He walked into the room and used the excuse that he wanted to ask for shuriken lessons as a shield to explain.

Fugaku said with his usual serious expression: "I'm busy, let's talk later."

Itachi understood, bowed respectfully, and exited the room as an apology.

Yashiro and Inui looked at Itachi who exited the room, narrowing their eyes slightly.

Captain Fugaku's children had been eavesdropping just now, but the two of them didn't even notice.

It is true that the two of them were negligent because they were venting their emotions against Fugaku and the entire Uchiha clan for being unfairly treated, but they should not have failed to notice that a child as young as 4 years old was eavesdropping.

Fugaku said solemnly: "Next time, let's discuss it at Nanga Shrine."

As two of his subordinates preached, perhaps he should stop being so conciliatory.

The top management of the village continues to backlog the Uchiha clan, causing the Uchiha clan to suffer more and more unfair treatment.

He personally could endure all this, but he could not endure the injustice suffered by his children and even his future grandchildren.

As Qing Zhi once told him in the past: one generation does one generation's work.

The injustice of the Uchiha clan must be completely resolved in their generation.

Fugaku's eyes turned into magatama shapes, flashed red, and swore secretly.

…………

Withdrawing from his father's room, Itachi came to his mother Mikoto.

When Mikoto saw Itachi coming back, she obviously guessed something. Her eyes softened and she said, "If you want to ask me how to use shuriken, mom, I can do that."

Itachi raised his head and looked at his mother who had a huge belly, looking extremely weak.

In fact, his mother was a powerful jounin.

Jonin is a very rare talent no matter where he is. Even if he is as strong as Konoha, let alone a female streamer, teaching him shuriken at her mother's level is definitely more than enough.

But now, Itachi is more interested in other things than learning shuriken, such as a certain person's name.

He asked: "Mom, who is Qing Pheasant?"
