Chapter 792 Father and Son

While Mu Qingzhi was happily purchasing goods in the root, on the other side, there was an uproar in the Uchiha family.

In the Uchiha, Mu Qingzhi's reputation was still very good. Thanks to her outstanding performance in the ninja school, many Uchiha regarded her as a genius of the same level as Uchiha Itachi, and was recognized as the hope of revitalizing the Uchiha in the future.

As soon as the news of her accident was spread, it was like poking a hornet's nest, and the entire Uchiha was blown up.

Originally, most of the Uchiha were dissatisfied with the village's different treatment of them, and now this kind of thing suddenly happened, and all the new and old hatreds suddenly surged into their hearts.

Therefore, when Uchiha Fugaku received the news and hurried over from the police department, he was shocked when he saw the angry tribesmen in front of him, and almost thought that the entire Uchiha was going to rebel openly.

"...Are you sure you saw your teacher take Uchiha Zhi to the Root?"

Looking at Mitarashi Anko in front of him, Uchiha Fugaku couldn't help but frowned slightly.

"...Yes, when the teacher came back, Zhi was gone."

Gritting his teeth slightly, Mitarashi Anko answered.

"I have reason to suspect that Uchiha Zhi was taken to the Root by my teacher. I hope you can take her back as soon as possible."

"………"

Hearing this, Uchiha Fugaku's face couldn't help but frown even tighter.

The plan to capture Orochimaru was a secret operation led by the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen himself. In Uchiha Fugaku's cognition, he didn't know about this at all. In his heart, Orochimaru was still the disciple of the Third Hokage and an absolute strong man who was qualified to compete for the title of Shadow.

If it was someone else, he wouldn't hesitate so much, but once it involved such a big shot, he had to be careful.

Admittedly, the most important thing he should do now is to take the elites of the clan to the Root with great fanfare and ask Danzo and Orochimaru to give them an explanation... But what about after that?

... What if this matter is a misunderstanding, or someone deliberately designed to provoke disputes within the Uchiha?

The Uchiha is already in a sensitive period. If this matter is not handled properly, it may directly lead to the breakup of the entire Uchiha and the village.

——The current Uchiha can't withstand more turmoil.

After all, Uchiha Zhi is a genius in his clan. Even Danzo or Orochimaru would not risk offending the entire universe and do anything excessive to the other party... Maybe?

"... We will investigate this matter."

After a long silence, Uchiha Fugaku gave a thoughtful answer.

"It's getting late now, I personally think..."

"Where is the address of the Root? Take me there."

Uchiha Fugaku was interrupted by a cold voice from the side before he finished his sentence.

"... Itachi?"

Looking at Uchiha Itachi who spoke next to him, Uchiha Fugaku couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"What is the Root? My father told me before that I don't think Zhi will be fine there."

Looking up at him, Uchiha Itachi had a blank expression on his face.

"Besides, she promised me before that she would come to my house for a banquet tonight. Now that this has happened to her, I have to take her out of the Root."

"You... forget it, I'll go with you."

Looking at the unprecedented strangeness in his son's eyes, he sighed slightly in his heart and began to speak.

"It's just right. I'll tell you something on the way."

After saying this, regardless of Uchiha Itachi who was a little stunned, Uchiha Fugaku strode out of the room and faced the angry Uchiha gathered in front of the Uchiha clan leader's house.

He would go back to the Root, but before that, he had to deal with the internal affairs of the Uchiha first. The situation of the Uchiha in the village was already very embarrassing due to the Nine-Tails incident. If this incident happened again tonight and some people deliberately made a fuss about it, who knows what would happen.

...Also, it was obvious that Mitarashi Anko came directly to his house to tell Itachi about these things, but in just a few minutes, this matter was known to everyone in the entire Uchiha. If someone said that there was no one behind the scenes deliberately making trouble, he would be the first to not believe it.

If he really took the Uchiha to the Root with a big fanfare to ask for punishment, that would be called being really tricked by others.

——The current Uchiha must not be caught by anyone.

It must be said that Uchiha Fugaku is quite capable to be the head of the clan.

It didn't take him too long to successfully suppress the emotions of these Uchiha. After promising to give everyone a satisfactory answer in the shortest possible time, he quietly found his confidant and asked him to set up strict defenses inside the Uchiha.

——Before he comes back, no clan member will be allowed to enter or leave the Uchiha clan.

No matter what, there must be no chaos inside the Uchiha.

"Everything has been arranged so quickly... Tsk, old fox."

In the shadows, someone vaguely tsks in his mouth.

………………………………………………

The streets of Konoha are quite quiet at night, especially on the way to the root.

Originally, Uchiha Fugaku wanted to take this opportunity to talk to Uchiha Itachi about something, but seeing Itachi walking ahead of him without any intention of communicating with him, Uchiha Fugaku couldn't help but look a little helpless.

After thinking for a while, Uchiha Fugaku decided to force the topic.

"Itachi, do you know why the Uchiha clan moved from the heart of the village to the corner of the village?"

"On the night of the Nine-tailed Fox, the Uchiha clan, as the largest ninja clan in Konoha, did not provide timely support, resulting in the death of the Fourth Hokage and heavy casualties in the village, so the Uchiha clan was forced to move."

While walking quickly ahead, Uchiha Itachi responded very coldly.

"There are some factors, but the real reason is not this."

With a sigh, Uchiha Fugaku spoke.

"The real factor is that the Nine-tailed Fox's rampage is related to Uchiha."

"………"

With a slight frown, Uchiha Itachi turned his head and looked at his father.

"I didn't intend to tell you about this kind of thing so early. After all, the more you know, the more you will bear... But I think you need to know these things."

After exhaling, Uchiha Fugaku looked up at the night sky.

"...The real reason why Uchiha was suspected and excluded was because of the Mangekyo."
