Konoha Thief

Chapter 655 Father and Son

Chapter 655 Father and Son

When Uchiha Fugaku came to the Great Elder's house, it was late at night, and the dim candlelight in the room was like a grain of soybean, blurring a tired old face.

"Great Elder." Coming to the old man, Uchiha Fugaku saluted respectfully.

"Hmm." The Great Elder yawned and nodded, raised his heavy eyelids to look at Uchiha Fugaku, and asked in a low voice, "It's not quiet in the clan, Fugaku, what happened?"

When Uchiha Fugaku heard the words, he answered slowly and truthfully.

Although he knew that the other party must already know everything, he could only waste his time talking about it in detail, and in the end he naturally talked about letting the root ninja take away the corpse of the perpetrator.

After telling the matter, there was a moment of silence in the room with only two people, which was broken by the approval of the Great Elder.

"You've done a good job, Fuyue." The Great Elder stroked his beard and smiled, "Although the village is indeed in a period of decline, it is still not something our people who are unprepared can contend with. Instead of tearing up the face with the village, we will find another opportunity That's the best choice."

Hypocrisy and obscenity?Looking for another time?No matter how this kind of vocabulary sounds, it doesn't seem to be discussing the village that the ninja should protect, but it seems to be discussing the enemy who cannot resolve the resentment no matter what.

For Uchiha, the upper echelons of Konoha Village are indeed like enemies. Since the Second Hokage came to power, as one of the families that jointly established Konoha, they not only did not enjoy the glory they deserved, but were gradually defeated. Squeezed to the edge of the village, the so-called Konoha garrison is like a shackle or even a cage, making Uchiha completely lose these popularity while performing duties to the people in the village, and thus cut off the climbing to Konoha. The village grasps the possibility of the power class.

These ordinary Uchiha people may not be able to see clearly, but the top Uchiha figures all know it well.

Just because of Hokage's order, although he knew it was a sugar-coated poison, he had no other choice but to swallow it in one gulp.

This is Uchiha's concession and compromise, and when making this decision, Uchiha hoped that the village's senior management would feel this kindness, but unfortunately it was just a wrong payment in the end.

So now it's not that Uchiha has the heart to conspire, Uchiha just has no choice, between continuing to be suppressed and persecuted by the village's high-level officials until he is completely satisfied, or rising up to resist and get back everything he should have gotten with his strength, the proud Uchiha Bo will only choose the latter.

And this kind of concept obviously does not only exist between one or two Uchihas, and the words of the Great Elder clearly demonstrate that this is a mainstream thought in the Uchiha clan.

But in the center of this kind of thinking, Uchiha Fugaku secretly clenched his fists, but on the surface he still nodded calmly, showing respect in front of the Great Elder.

But at the same time, he was thinking about another thing in his mind, something related to the fate of the Uchiha clan: against the village, can the Uchiha become the final winner?

Different questions have always had different answers in different people's minds, but at this moment Uchiha Fugaku confirmed that his answer was completely opposite to that of most of the Uchiha clan.

But even so, what could he do?

Between the expectations of the tribe and his own ideas, between the two contradictory, his only choice is the former.

Coming out of the Great Elder's house, Uchiha Fugaku walked towards the house with a tired face.

When he saw the dim light in front of the house, he realized that the previous explosion had collapsed the side wall of the yard, and a boy was cleaning up there at the moment.

Seeing that boy, Uchiha Fugaku showed a very shallow smile on his tired face.He has always had a serious and tense expression like him, and he will only show such an expression when he is too tired to control his face.

As if feeling the gaze, the young man put down the stones that built the wall, and looked around according to his feeling.

"Father?" Uchiha Itachi was startled for a moment, then walked over and said, "You are back."

"Yeah." Uchiha Fugaku restrained his expression, patted the eldest son's arm and said, "Itachi, you've done a good job, I've heard what Shisui said."

"I'm an older brother, and it's my responsibility to protect Sasuke." A smile appeared on the corner of Uchiha Itachi's mouth.

"Is Sasuke okay?" Uchiha Fugaku nodded and asked.

"I'm just stunned, I should have a good dream." Uchiha Itachi said with a smile, "Father, are you going to visit him?"

"Since there is nothing to do, you don't need to look at it." Uchiha Fugaku shook his head and said with worry in his eyes.

Itachi Uchiha glanced at his father who was exuding exhaustion beside him, and just responded without saying anything more.

The two father and son walked into the yard, and the candlelight in the room was reflected through the doors and windows, casting a layer of warm light on the blooming chrysanthemums in the yard. If it weren't for the broken wall on the side, it would have looked quite warm.

"Let's clean it up tomorrow, Itachi." Uchiha Fugaku stood in front of the chrysanthemum, fiddled with the petals, and called to the eldest son who was walking towards the broken wall again, "Come and chat with me."

Itachi Uchiha raised his eyebrows suspiciously, then nodded and said, "Yes, father."

Standing beside Uchiha Fugaku, Itachi subconsciously looked at the hand that was playing with the chrysanthemum, and that random movement seemed to reflect that his father was full of irritability.

"I heard that Anbu has taken a fancy to you, right?" Uchiha Fugaku asked in a flat tone.

"Has father heard about it too?" Uchiha Itachi asked in surprise.

"Yeah." Uchiha Fugaku nodded, and then seemed to say to Itachi and himself: "Maybe you will become the hope of the family, Itachi."

Uchiha Itachi sensitively sensed the hidden and unfinished meaning in his father's words, but he couldn't think of more from it. Even if he was a father and son, he often couldn't fully understand his father's thoughts.

Of course, the reverse is also true.

For example, when he was still young, his father took him to see the cruelty of war with his own eyes, or when he made achievements and was called a genius of Uchiha, all he got from his father in the end was "As expected of my son", As for his real thoughts, he was never understood by his father.

There was silence between the two father and son, both of them were thinking about other things and lost their minds.

At this time, the dark clouds in the night sky began to recede slowly, and the energy gathered in the clouds had not reached the level that had to be released after all. Although the brilliance of the stars behind the hidden dark clouds was still a little dim, they were able to shed down, bringing a new energy to Muye Village. A different view.

A night of chaos was staged, and in the starlight, the curtain came to an end.
