Betrayal Has a Terrible Start.

"Yeah." Sasuke nodded vigorously, happily responding to his father Fugaku Uchiha's words.

Itachi smiled indifferently at this, but gently stroked Sasuke's head, and silently added a sentence in his heart: Work hard, Sasuke.

Seeing Itachi and Sasuke's harmony, Uchiha Fugaku felt a sense of mission, as well as a sense of responsibility as the head of the family and the head of the clan.

Just thinking about what happened recently, I couldn't help but feel worried.

After dinner, it was almost dark.

Sasuke fell asleep in the room early.

In the study room, Uchiha Fugaku was used to encountering troubles, so he sat here alone and thought about problems.

It's quiet enough here, only the lights are on.

Not long after, the door was pushed open, and a figure walked in.

"It's Itachi, it's so late, haven't you slept yet?" Uchiha Fugaku asked strangely.

"What's on Dad's mind? During dinner, Mom talked to you, and you answered absent-mindedly," Itachi said.

"You are still as sharp as ever, Itachi. As a member of Hokage's Anbe, you should not explain this kind of thing to you." Uchiha Fugaku said.

"Father, I am no longer a child. As your son, I have the responsibility to know the answer. I have noticed some changes in the family recently, please tell me, what happened in the family?" Itachi said blankly asked.

"Itachi, do you know?" Uchiha Fugaku said suddenly after being silent for a while.

"what?"

"Sometimes, I think you don't look like an 11-year-old child. You are too mature, and the maturity is a bit scary." Uchiha Fugaku sighed.

Itachi froze for a moment, then said nothing.

"When did you find out?"

"About half a month ago."

"Zhishui was discovered around that time."

"Brother Shishui?" Itachi's eyes widened.

Speaking of which, it is true that I haven't met Zhishui for more than half a month.

Anbu is busy with duties, and it is normal for him not to see each other for ten days and a half months.In addition, Zhishui, as the captain of the dark department, has an even more heavy duty.

Itachi thought it was caused by Anbu's job, but looking at it now, it may not only be to this extent, but there may be something more critical.

"Do you know, Itachi. Both you and Shisui are indispensable members of the Uchiha clan, able to jump out of the confines of the family and consider the future of the village. However, I value your talent more than Shisui. Shisui Your temperament is too upright, but you are good at hiding and thinking. You who also joined Anbu chose a different way to deal with the problems of the village and the family."

"..." Itachi lowered his head, not knowing what to say.

"Let's put it this way, Itachi. If one day in the future, the family and the village go against each other, who will you help? Will you help the family and the village to fight, or help the village to destroy our family in turn?"

Uchiha Fugaku's gaze, like a sharp blade, pierced all Itachi's thoughts.

Itachi was stunned, he didn't expect his father to say such a thing and ask such a question?

No, Itachi never considered that possibility.

Without him, the relationship between the Uchiha clan and the high-level Konoha has warmed up, and no matter what, it will not be so troublesome.

"Sorry, I haven't thought about such a thing."

"Sometimes, I hope that you can start from the perspective of the village. After all, Konoha was also created by the ancestors of our Uchiha clan. However, I also hope that you can think more about the family. From the perspective of the village, It is not for you to completely abandon the family. Similarly, from the perspective of the family, it is not for you to damage the interests of the village and cause a split. Every family is an individual, and Konoha is the home that accommodates the existence of these individuals and belongs to us People's homeland. Ferret, you have to understand that the so-called maturity does not mean growth, and it may also go to an extreme."

"Yes." Itachi replied with words like gold.

"Half a month ago, Shisui noticed some changes in the family, and reported to Lord Naruto on the same day. Anbu re-adopted a surveillance policy on the Uchiha clan. Shisui didn't know what you were thinking, so during this period, he didn't want to To meet you so as not to spoil your friendship."

For Shisui's approach, Uchiha Fugaku didn't know whether to cry or laugh at this time.

Should it be despised or should be admired.

Maybe both.

On the contrary, Itachi noticed the change, but just buried it in his heart without saying anything, and went to find the answer by himself.

In Uchiha Fugaku's view, both of them have problems with their approach.

Shisui is too upright, any trouble in the Uchiha clan will be passed from Shisui's mouth to the ears of Konoha's senior management immediately.

And his son Itachi is too confident, or 'arrogant', he shoulders it alone, finds the problem by himself, and then solves it.

"What happened to the family?" Itachi asked after being silent for a moment.

Although he sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere of the family, he couldn't tell the specifics. In addition, Anbu's business was busy recently, so he didn't have time to investigate.

Before giving an answer that suits his heart, he needs to figure out the root of the problem.

"Some shady scenes in the dark place of Konoha, about our Uchiha clan, and the darkest history among the high-level Konoha."

Facing Itachi's question, Uchiha Fugaku's eyes flickered, and finally, he announced the answer to Itachi with a heavy tone.

Chapter 96 Itachi: There is only one truth

"Dark...history?"

After hearing Uchiha Fugaku's answer, Itachi was stunned for a moment, with a little doubt on his face.
