This Hokage Gourd has everything in it

Chapter 66 The Contradictory Man

Fuyue's house is a classical Japanese garden.

Hayaba followed Fugaku through a small courtyard, stepped onto the verandah, walked a few steps, turned a corner and entered a room covered with tatami mats.

The birthday party is ready.

There is a low table in the middle of the house, on which various dishes are placed.Itachi took care of the young Sasuke at the table, preventing him from stealing.

There was still the sound of cooking on the other side of the door, presumably the patriarch's wife was cooking food in the kitchen.

As the two of them came in, Sasuke ran towards Fuyue in a desperate manner, making a "yay" sound from his mouth.

"Is Sasuke obedient?"

Fuyue hugged Sasuke happily, then turned around and greeted the empty seat beside him, "Sit here by Hayaba, please don't be restrained."

"Thank you."

He nodded to Fuyue.Falcon leaf went straight to sit opposite Itachi, and took out a gift box.

"Happy birthday, Itachi."

"Thank you, thank you."

Itachi accepted the gift a little stiffly, then bowed his head and fell silent.

"Your friend is here to celebrate your birthday, don't keep a straight face."

Fu Yue said with a solemn face.

"Yes."

Itachi's subordinate responded to his boss's tone, completely unable to tell that it was a conversation between father and son.

But Fuyue nodded as usual, and didn't seem to think there was any problem with it.

The father and son's weird way of getting along made Falcon leaf feel at a loss, and he closed his mouth strangely.

For a while, there were only the sound of eating and Sasuke's yelling at the dinner table.

The atmosphere was a little dull for a while.

Fortunately, the patriarch's wife Mikoto Uchiha came in with the last dish.

This patriarch's wife is different from Fu Yue and Itachi, she can speak well and can enliven the atmosphere.

The dull atmosphere disappeared after she came in.

……

After dinner.

Meiqin packed up the dishes and went to the back kitchen to wash up.

Fuyue said happily: "Itachi, it's rare for your friend to come to play, take him around the settlement!"

"Ah."

Itachi nodded, then looked at Hayatoba.

"Want to come and visit?"

"what!?"

Hayaba looked at the darkness outside the house, then at Itachi and Fuyue who had serious faces, and nodded.

"Then trouble you."

"It's nothing."

……

Follow Itachi out of the courtyard, walking in this settlement that seems to be independent from the village.Neither of them spoke.

"Hey, didn't you show me the settlement?"

In order to break the atmosphere of silence, Falcon leaf said with a smile: "How can there be a tour guide who doesn't say anything, at least let me introduce you!"

Itachi hesitated for a while, and said: "You should know, today is not my birthday!"

During the year at the ninja school, Hayaba has demonstrated his super memory ability many times, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has a photographic memory.

And the graduation photos they took together, the file records they made, they all read each other's information.

He didn't think Fayaba would be unaware of his birthday.

"So what?"

Falcon leaf shrugged, and said nonchalantly, "This is a kind invitation from a good boss. Why should I refuse?"

"That's not what I meant." Itachi shook his head lightly and said, "What I mean is, since you know that this is not an invitation to a birthday party, you should also see that Father didn't really ask me to show you around the settlement."

"What does your father mean?"

Looking at the pretending Falcon leaf, Itachi took a deep breath.

"During the month of your internship in the guard, you have demonstrated your extraordinary perception ability many times. Although you are not sure what the specific ability is, you can more or less guess some of it."

"so what?"

"You saw the true face of the murderer who attacked the daimyo at that time, right?"

"Yes."

There is nothing to hide. The ability to see the other person's face clearly through obstacles was exposed when the thief was caught half a month ago.

Hearing Hayaba's decisive admission, Itachi hesitated instead.

"Just ask if you have any questions."

Hearing this, Itachi didn't hesitate anymore, and asked bluntly: "You came to the security department, in fact, the higher-ups arranged for you to investigate whether the murderer is in Uchiha!"

"Yes."

Falcon leaf admitted frankly.

"The captain asked you to take me to visit the settlement, isn't it also for the investigation?"

The murderer who attacked the daimyo was almost linked to the mastermind behind the Kyuubi incident by the village's senior management.

The same goes for Uchiha Fugaku.

But don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door.

Fuyue was sure that these were not done by the Uchiha clan, so he generously let Fayaba enter the settlement to investigate.

Of course, inviting outsiders to enter the settlement to investigate their own clansmen... If this kind of thing is known by the clansman, I am afraid that many incidents will be disgusted.

Therefore, it became a good excuse to invite my son's classmates and friends to visit the settlement.

"As expected, you guessed it."

Itachi wasn't surprised by Falcon's leaf's reaction, but felt that something was wrong if he didn't guess it.

"Aren't you afraid that the murderer really belongs to the Uchiha clan? You must know that Uchiha's situation in the village has been bad in the past two years. It's normal for one or two clansmen to have extreme thoughts because of this!"

"If there are people who have committed such a heinous crime, the Uchiha clan will not cover it up."

Looking at Itachi with a calm expression, Falcon leaf smiled softly, "You know what I'm talking about."

If this really happened, it wouldn't be safe to choose to hand over the murderer voluntarily.Those who hate Uchiha and those who regard Uchiha as a political enemy will definitely attack Uchiha with this matter.

The situation of the Uchiha clan will be even more difficult.

Itachi naturally knew such a simple truth.

but……

How can it be?

Even if this happens, Uchiha can't do anything... After all, it is a fact that the murderer came from Uchiha, and the Uchiha clan has an inescapable responsibility.

Can only stand at attention and be beaten.

but……

"This is also an opportunity to alleviate the plight of the family and the village... Even if you take responsibility, the village's suspicion of Uchiha will be eliminated, and it will become more and more in the future..."

"Are you serious?"

Looking at Itachi who was stunned by himself, Falcon leaf sighed and shook his head.

He has been on the battlefield since he was a child, and was hostile and rejected by his classmates in the ninja school... Itachi, who has experienced these things, should understand the ugly side of human nature.

But he still believes in the good side of human nature.

Because the birth of Sasuke made him feel the happiness and joy brought to people when life was born.

Know the cruelty and beauty of reality at the same time.

Holding idealized dreams, but chasing them with realistic means...

The man named Uchiha Itachi is a self-contradictory existence.

"Okay, the murderer is not from the Uchiha clan."

Falcon leaf left behind these words, turned and walked out.

Itachi was stunned for a moment, and quickly chased after him.

"What do you mean?"

"Three generations of hokage means that no matter whether the murderer is in Uchiha or not, he told me not to say it. He doesn't want to further expand the conflict between Uchiha and the village."

"Also, I've finished the investigation, and the murderer is indeed not anyone from the Uchiha clan."

Thank you Dark Sun Empire and Pampered for your reward, thank you very much.

Finally ask for a wave of recommendation tickets.

With so many collections, why are there so few recommendation votes?
