"Your personal decision?"

Uchiha Fugaku looked at Uchiha Itachi with eyes as sharp as swords.

As his heart relaxed, the anger that had been suppressed immediately filled Uchiha Fugaku's heart like an erupting flame.

"madness!"

Uchiha Fugaku rebuked: "With your status as an Anbu, you said it was your private action, do you think the clan members will believe it!"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Itachi's face changed.

He immediately realized that once his clansmen believed that he was ordered by the village to assassinate Uchiha Yuan, the conflict between Uchiha and Konoha would inevitably break out.

This was something he had not thought of before.

"I will explain to the tribe members that the assassination of Uchiha Yuan has nothing to do with the village."

Uchiha Itachi said.

Uchiha Fugaku looked at Uchiha Itachi, and a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

"Itachi, you are so naive. Do you think the tribe members will believe your explanation?"

Uchiha Itachi frowned, raised his eyes and met Uchiha Fugaku's gaze, and said: "I will make the clan members believe it."

"You should be thankful that Yuan does not intend to pursue your assassination, otherwise even if I were the clan leader, I would not be able to protect you."

Then, Uchiha Fugaku changed the subject and asked, "Why did you want to assassinate Yuan?"

"Because I think Uchiha Yuan is leading the family into a dangerous situation. He is a potential huge threat and must be eliminated as soon as possible."

Uchiha Itachi said.

Hearing this, Uchiha Fugaku's heart sank, and he thought to himself: Itachi's position has indeed begun to lean towards the village.

"You know that Yuan's actions have won the support of the vast majority of clan members. He has made Konoha feel the powerful power of the Uchiha clan once again."

“And this is why I think he is a threat, his actions are fueling the village’s distrust and resentment towards the family.

In fact, the village leaders were already extremely angry with the family because of this, believing that the family was condoning and supporting Uchiha Yuan's provocative behavior.

If Uchiha Yuan's provocations are allowed to continue, the village's tolerance for the family will eventually break down, and a bloody conflict will inevitably break out between the village and the family."

Uchiha Itachi stared at Uchiha Fugaku with a serious face, and a fierce aura emanating from his body was approaching Uchiha Fugaku.

Uchiha Fugaku fell into silence, his brows furrowed as he looked into Uchiha Itachi's eyes.

The whole room was suddenly shrouded in a depressing and solemn atmosphere.

After a moment, Uchiha Fugaku said, "Itachi, is this your reason?

Honestly, your reasoning doesn’t make sense to me.”

When Uchiha Itachi heard this, his expression suddenly changed.

Then I heard Uchiha Fugaku continue: "Because your idea was wrong from the beginning.

You think Yuan is a threat, so is this threat to the family or to Konoha?"

"Yes, to both."

Uchiha Itachi replied.

Uchiha Fugaku snorted coldly, stared at Uchiha Itachi with sharp eyes and said: "You have to understand why the clan members support Yuan, because everything Yuan does is to protect the interests of the family."

"Does protecting the interests of the family mean destroying the interests of the village?"

Hearing this, Uchiha Itachi asked with anger on his face.

"When you say the interests of the village, do you mean the interests of the Third Generation? But the interests of the Third Generation cannot represent the interests of Konoha.

And you have to understand that what Yuan did was within the rules; perhaps the village leaders were upset by this, but Yuan did nothing wrong. "

Uchiha Fugaku said slowly.

Under Uchiha Fugaku's gaze, Uchiha Itachi regained his calm and indifferent expression; he said, "I understand."

Then, he slowly stood up and said, "Father, don't worry, the assassination of Uchiha Yuan will never happen again."

As soon as the words fell, Uchiha Itachi left the room in a flash.

'Itachi, what did you know?'

Uchiha Fugaku frowned as he looked at the place where Uchiha Itachi left.

He did not feel relieved by Uchiha Itachi's words before he left. Instead, he felt a vague sense of uneasiness.

In the following days, the Uchiha clan members' accusations against Sarutobi Hiruzen became less and less, until they subsided.

In response to this, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that he could finally breathe a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he became more wary of the Uchiha clan.

In the short term, he did not want to take any action to suppress the Uchiha clan again, so as to avoid further disturbances.

Thus, Konoha and the Uchiha clan entered a peaceful period, and both sides did not provoke each other.

The shopping street in the center of the Uchiha clan territory.

"Quan, the new desserts we introduced today are really good."

Senju Xue said to Uchiha Izumi beside her as they walked.

"Ah."

Uchiha Izumi responded softly.

Qianju Xue looked at Uchiha Izumi, with a hint of curiosity on her face, and asked: "Izumi, why have you been so listless recently? Did Uchiha Yuan bully you?"

"Xue, how could my brother bully me?"

Uchiha Izumi smiled slightly.

"No, you must be in trouble."

Senju Xue looked at Uchiha Izumi with burning eyes and said with certainty.

Under the gaze of Senju Xue, Uchiha Quan stopped. After hesitating for a few times, she said bitterly: "Xue, do you know that my brother was assassinated by Itachi some time ago?"

what!

Hearing this, Senju Xue showed a look of nervousness at first; then she immediately thought of Uchiha Yuan who she had seen recently and seemed to be completely fine, so her face quickly regained its relaxed look.

"what is going on?"

Qianju Xue asked.

The two came to a secluded intersection outside the shopping street and sat down on a roadside bench.

After Uchiha Izumi told him what he knew, Senju Xue looked at him seriously and asked, "Izumi, what are you going to do?"

“I absolutely cannot forgive Itachi-kun’s behavior.

I don't understand the disagreement between him and my brother; now I just want to ask him in person, when he assassinated my brother, did he consider me? "

Uchiha Izumi clenched his fists and said angrily.

Senju Xue's eyes were thoughtful. She learned about the differences between Uchiha Yuan and Uchiha Itachi from Uchiha Izumi's words.

'Yuan has never concealed his intentions in front of Xuan and me. He wants to overthrow the Sandaime and his people.

And from what Izumi said, Uchiha Itachi, a genius who appears once in a century in the Uchiha clan, actually favors the Sandaime and his people.

Uchiha Itachi is a guy that is really hard to understand...'

At this moment, Senju Xue suddenly felt that the breath of Uchiha Izumi beside her suddenly became violent.

She turned her head and saw Uchiha Izumi staring straight at the exit of the shopping street.

Then she saw Uchiha Itachi walking slowly towards her from a distance, holding a little boy's hand.

Sasuke held a skewer of greasy barbecue in one hand and his mouth was full of oil as he ate.

Uchiha Itachi reached out his hand with a doting look on his face to wipe the oil stains from the corners of his mouth, and then he felt a pair of fiery gazes from a distance falling on him.

"Sasuke, eat slowly."

Uchiha Itachi said, then looked in the direction where the gaze came from.

spring!

When he saw Uchiha Izumi, Itachi, which had always been stable and calm, suddenly felt a jump in his heart, and for a moment he was filled with complicated feelings.
