That's right, Shisui has been dead for so many days, no matter how slow his brain is, he should be able to react.

This boring clan probably only has this level of understanding.

◎

Uchiha Shisui is dead.

Although the news has not spread to the outside world, it has caused panic within the Uchiha clan.

As the mainstay of the Uchiha clan, Shisui's strength is obvious to all. However, people from the security team discovered Shisui's body and suicide note one after another.

Although the handwriting on the suicide note was the same as when Shisui was alive, it was really easy for a ninja with the Sharingan Eye to imitate the exact same handwriting.

The radicals suspected that the murderer of Shisui was Itachi Uchiha.

Thinking of this, Fugaku, standing in the living room, frowned deeply.

Yesterday, his son Itachi had a huge conflict with Uchiha Yashiro and other radical clan members. Although the conflict was suppressed by him, it also meant that his son Itachi would probably not be ignored by the radical clan members in the future.

accept.

The idea of ​​passing on the position of clan leader to Itachi became hesitant in Fugaku's heart.

There is another question, and that is whether Itachi killed Shisui.

If so, why did Itachi kill Shisui? Itachi's strength is much inferior to that of Shisui, and it is impossible to kill Shisui silently.

If Itachi hadn't killed Shisui, then who could have killed the man with the title of Shunshen Shisui in the Uchiha clan?

The most important thing is, where did the two Sharingan eyes on Shisui's body go? Who took them away?

Is it the murderer?

Or were they the police officers who were the first to search for Shisui's body?

Or... Shisui really committed suicide?

But the reason for Shisui's suicide would be as written in his suicide note, 'I am very tired, this will lead to the end of the Uchiha clan and I want to die...' Is it pessimistic?

This kind of suicide note is more like dissuading the Uchiha clan from launching a coup.

Fugaku felt that the truth behind Shisui's death was far more complicated than he imagined.

Someone is plotting against the Uchiha clan.

That's for sure.

But I don’t know exactly who it is yet.

Dark part...or root?

Only these two departments are the most suspicious.

While Fugaku was thinking, there was a knock on the door.

Fugaku looked up at the entrance, stood up from the living room, walked to the entrance, and opened the door.

What I saw was a weak-looking girl.

Uchiha Spring.

She is the female friend of her son Itachi.

"Um, is Itachi-kun at home?"

Worry was written on his face.

Itachi, Uchiha Yashiro and others had a violent conflict yesterday. It is no secret within the clan. The girl may have been overly worried and came here specifically at this time.

What a good girl. Fugaku sighed in his heart.

"Sorry, Itachi has gone out on a mission. I don't know exactly when he will come back."

Fugaku felt a little regretful after saying this.

Is the tone of my words a bit too condescending and indifferent?

It would be a bit bad if the relationship between the girl and her son Itachi broke down.

"That's it. Sorry to bother you, I'll come back another day."

The girl named Uchiha Izumi bowed slightly to Fugaku and then left.

"..."

It must be because of my tough tone that I feel afraid and dissatisfied with my future 'father-in-law'.

Fugaku patted his head in annoyance.

He wanted to say something to win the girl back, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know what to say.

In the future, should we learn to be more gentle towards our family members?

Fugaku couldn't remember when he could show a gentle expression naturally.

I always feel that after becoming the leader of the clan, I have forgotten many things from the past.

He hoped that his son Itachi would become a useful person, so when Itachi was four years old, he took him to the frontline battlefield to enlighten him on the survival ideas of ninjas.

Afterwards, he noticed Itachi's talent and kept forcing him to embark on the path of an outstanding ninja. Although Itachi succeeded in perfecting everything he told him to do, the smile on Itachi's face became less and less after that.

It's okay with Sasuke, but I don't seem to see a few smiles in front of my father.

Especially in recent years, something seems to be isolating the relationship between father and son.

An indescribable feeling of blockage made Fugaku feel inexplicably regretful.

"Is it because I'm too tired? Alas..."

Itachi came back in the evening.

A family of four was eating at the dining table. Suddenly, Fugaku said: "By the way, Itachi, the little girl named Uchiha Izumi came to see you again this afternoon. It seems that she is very worried about your current state. You will be here tomorrow."

Go over and express your feelings to her, don't let her feelings go to waste."

Itachi stopped eating, nodded and said, "I understand."

Mother Mikoto also heard about this from her husband and secretly smiled at Itachi to show encouragement.

Only Sasuke said strangely: "Didn't my brother say that he was going on a date with her today? What else is she here for?"

After Sasuke finished speaking, the table was completely silent.

The gentle expression on Fugaku's face also became serious, and his sharp gaze was fixed on Itachi.

"Itachi, what's going on? What on earth are you doing?"

"Nothing, there are important tasks above, so the appointment has been postponed."

Itachi had already thought of his words.

"No, that's definitely not the case. What are you hiding from us?"

Fugaku put down his bowl and chopsticks and glanced at him coldly.

"You worry too much, father."

"Why haven't you attended that rally recently?"

"Because it's boring."

"Has the family's sense of honor also been discarded?"

"This kind of family is not enough to set off my caliber, it's just that simple."

boom!

Fugaku's face was extremely pale.

A good dinner suddenly turned into a battlefield, serious and scary.

Sasuke was trembling on the dining table, not daring to speak and feeling a little guilty.

If I hadn't said those words, my father and brother wouldn't have had a quarrel.

Uchiha Mikoto looked at the father and son Fugaku and Itachi, and had no choice but to bring Sasuke into the room to prevent him from seeing something bad.

"Whose side are you on?"

Fugaku felt a little sad.

His question was just like Uchiha Yashiro questioning Itachi's position at the meeting.

Is it a clan or a village?

Such suspicion and distrust are now also filling Fugaku's eyes.

"I am Itachi of the Uchiha clan. This will never change no matter what happens."

Itachi raised his head and looked at Fugaku without fear, his eyes firm.

Instead of relaxing at all, the atmosphere at the table became even more solemn.
