Chapter 349 The Revenge of the Blue Pheasant
After eating, Itachi was accompanying Sasuke, Mikoto was washing the dishes, and Aokiji and Fugaku were having a secret meeting in the room.
"Aoji, I will choose a time to hold a meeting at Nanga Shrine. It is related to..."
"I understand." Qingzhi interrupted: "That's fine. During this period, I will walk around and get a good understanding of the current situation in the village."
Fugaku understood Aokiji's behavior. There are some things that can only be better understood by seeing them with your own eyes: "Then during this period of time, I will let Itachi accompany you."
"Is this good?"
"It doesn't matter."
"..."
"What's wrong?"
Aoki glanced at him: "...Fugaku, you and Itachi actually have a conflict."
Fugaku sighed: "As expected of you, you noticed it so quickly."
He asked Itachi to accompany Aokiji. Understanding the current situation in the village was secondary. The main thing was to let the two of them have more contact, so that Aokiji could find a way to get Itachi's ideas back on track.
Qingzhi raised his chin and smiled: "Tell me, I'll listen..."
Fugaku sighed quietly and told the other party about Itachi's situation.
After listening, Qingzhi understood the general situation, which was basically similar to the original work: "This is really complicated, and it actually involves this matter."
Fugaku showed a troubled expression: "I don't understand when exactly Itachi's relationship with me gradually became distant and gradually deteriorated."
"Tell me about Itachi's opportunity to open the Sharingan." Aokiji said, intending to learn more about Fugaku's son.
Fugaku had a puzzled look on his face, why he asked this question.
Qingzhi half-squinted his eyes, and his gaze became meaningful: "You should know what it means to open your eyes..."
Fugaku heard something in his words and said thoughtfully: "...I think this is nothing to Itachi."
Qingzhi returned to the previous question: "In short, let me tell you from beginning to end."
Fugaku recalled it carefully and then informed Aokiji.
As expected by Qing Pheasant, he sighed: "Sure enough..."
Fugaku's expression was puzzled.
"I just heard from Mikoto that Itachi learned the Fireball Jutsu with just one glance when he was only four years old. If this is true, then I can imagine that you must have great expectations for him."
"Is there anything wrong with this?"
"There is nothing wrong with this in itself, but you forget after all that even a genius is still a child. When the mind is immature, it is easy to go astray.
"Especially for geniuses like him, he is often very arrogant. This is not because he is born with it, but as he grows up, he will realize that his abilities are far superior to those of his peers, and then slowly develop the habit of believing that he can do everything. A perfectly resolved style of doing things and then becoming poor at communicating.”
This was the first time Fugaku heard these views, and he suddenly understood. Things he didn't understand in the past suddenly became clear.
Qingzhi continued: "It would be okay if he was an ordinary genius. After all, there are limits after all. He will soon realize that personal abilities have limits and return to normal.
"But Itachi is different. With his talent, it can be imagined that for him, such things as setbacks in the process of growing up do not exist at all. Naturally, he becomes more and more arrogant. Of course, your inexpressive character must be more or less. have some problem."
After hearing all the above explanations, Fugaku finally understood the real reason why he was becoming more and more estranged from his son, "It seems it's my fault..."
Seeing that Fugaku listened carefully, Aoki felt a little relieved.
If someone else had explained this to Fugaku, the effect would not have been so good, and it would not even have caused any ripples.
This is something that only someone like Aokiji, who has left a deep impression on Fugaku since childhood, can do it.
"I didn't expect that I would still have to trouble you now." Fugaku showed a wry smile: "Sure enough, you should still inherit the position of clan leader."
Qing Zhi hummed and did not refuse.
Fugaku looked surprised.
Qingzhi responded with a smile: "You thought I would refuse, right?"
Fugaku spoke his mind: "Yes."
"I can't always evade responsibility..."
"In that case, in a few days, at the Nanga Shrine gathering, I will announce by the way that I will return the position of clan leader to you. This position was originally supposed to be inherited by you."
By handing over the clan leader to Aoji, Fugaku can live a more relaxed life and have more time to spend with his children and Mikoto.
"You can continue to take over the position of clan leader temporarily. During this period, I have some personal matters to deal with."
"whats the matter."
"revenge."
After saying these two words, Qing Zhi's expression, which had just been returning to Ji, suddenly turned gloomy.
Fugaku's pupils suddenly dilated.
Qingzhi sneered: "Why do you think I became like this?"
Fugaku said in a deep voice: "What exactly happened to you."
"The higher-ups framed me and wanted me to disappear from this world in order to achieve their own despicable goals."
"W-what..."
Fugaku had already made speculations in the past, but now he was shocked to hear Aoji admit it himself.
"After so many years, I don't need to tell you what the attitude of Konoha's high-level officials towards us is." Aoki's eyes were cold and his voice was cold.
"...Okay, tell me the cause and effect in detail."
Qingzhi closed his eyes and took a breath: "Okay, I will tell you everything."
Fugaku listened solemnly.
Qingzhi recalled: "This matter has to start with a kidnapping case."
"Kidnapping?"
"Do you still remember the sensational incident when the son of the Fire Country's daimyo was kidnapped and extorted by gangsters?"
"It seems to be true. There seemed to be quite a big fuss at first, and the daimyo spent a lot of manpower and material resources to bring the criminal to justice."
Fugaku thought for a while and said puzzledly: "But what does this have to do with the accomplice you mentioned."
Qingzhi curled his lips and sneered sinisterly: "Hmph... Of course it does matter, because... I was the one who planned to kidnap the son of the Fire Country's daimyo."
Shock!
The expression on Fugaku's face can only be described as shock: "Are you kidding me?"
Qingzhi smiled coldly and asked, "Do you think I'm joking?"
Fugaku was startled and swallowed: "I don't understand, why are you doing this?"
"Why? Of course it's for revenge."
"revenge?"
"In order to survive, I chose to give up the mission, causing the death of my employer. The Daimyo of the Fire Country wanted to put me to death as an apology, and the village also planned to hand me over. Fortunately, Elder Weasel fought against everyone's opinions and reluctantly saved me. From now on It was a light sentence, but I was released from jail after being imprisoned for it.
After Aoji's reminder, Fugaku remembered that this was indeed the case: "So, you just want revenge?"
"That's right." Qingzhi said bluntly: "It's just a mission. Putting aside the issue of such little money, I don't like these guys who are in the corpse shroud position. There is something wrong with my brain to fight for these rubbish. On your life.”
"I see, there is such a relationship. "Wait a minute..."
Suddenly something seemed to come to his mind, and Fugaku's eyes almost popped out of his head: "How old were you at that time...you must have been too courageous."
"This has nothing to do with whether you are brave or not. From beginning to end, I don't think I did anything wrong. I just wanted justice in my own way."
Fugaku thought of what happened in Aokiji that half year: "So, at that time, all your travels were just excuses to plan this kidnapping?"
"good."
The corner of Fugaku's mouth twitched crazily: "But does this have anything to do with the fact that you disappeared for so long later?"
He realized that he might have underestimated the blue pheasant in the past.
With such a vengeful character, it was a good thing that Qingzhi was on their side, otherwise they would have trouble sleeping and eating as an enemy.
Qing Zhi asked back: "What do you think the village will think if they know about this?"
Fugaku's eyes widened and he was silent for a moment: "I think that considering your character, the village will definitely not give in. And then considering that for the sake of the stability of the village, killing you secretly may be the best explanation for the name of the Fire Country."
Aokiji had a cold face and growled in a tone as if he was about to bite something into pieces: "I can understand that the village would do this for the sake of the village's reputation, but I don't understand why Tsunade is involved."
"Qing Pheasant..."
Fugaku called out the other person's name, intending to say a few words of comfort, but he swallowed the words again as his words reached his throat. Aokiji's current pain was beyond what he, an outsider, could understand.
Qingzhi squeezed out a sarcastic laugh from his throat: "But I figured it out later. It turned out that it was because of my identity and my strength that I threatened the higher-ups. Those guys might have been expecting me to die for a long time, but they never did. Chance.
"Now that there is this opportunity in front of us, the senior management will naturally seize this rare opportunity to kill me, even at the risk of Tsunade's life, because they know my character well, and they can't kill me without threatening Tsunade. I."
Fugaku:……
"They took advantage of this to plan and ambush me, but they probably never dreamed that I would use secret techniques to survive, and come back with resentment and new strength to take revenge."
The blue pheasant's green pupils were dyed red, with snowflake-like patterns appearing, and he grasped the void with one hand and swore like this.
There was a chill in the air, and Fugaku looked at the snowflake-like lines in Aoki's eyes.
As a clan leader, unlike ordinary clan members, he knows the price of opening the Mangekyou Sharingan.
Aokiji can activate the Mangekyō Sharingan, and he probably saw Tsunade's death scene with his own eyes before opening these eyes.
Fugaku had a bad feeling: "Then, what are you going to do next..."
"Aren't you asking me how I can fight for fair treatment for the Uchiha clan next?"
"I'm telling you clearly now." Qingzhi raised his chin, his stern eyes looking down were full of murderous aura, and he said word by word: "I will kill every last one of the top management and the family members behind him. "
