Konoha's Residual Fire Sword

Chapter 53

In the teahouse, Itachi and Izumi are sitting together drinking tea and chatting.Itachi's former teammate and current teahouse waiter Shinko Inari also accompanied them.

"Senior Xinzi, the teahouse is so busy, you don't need to greet us specially." Itachi said to Inari Xinzi.

Inari Shinko nodded, and when she was about to leave, she suddenly put her head next to Itachi's ear, and smiled mischievously: "You can do it, you are only at this age, and you know that you are dating a girl, and she is such a cute girl like Izumi-chan." child!"

Although Inari Shinko was whispering, her voice was not too loud, just enough for Izumi who was sitting opposite Itachi to hear.

In an instant, Itachi and Izumi blushed, while Inari Shinko walked away with a happy face.Obviously, it is also very interesting to tease the juniors occasionally.

Itachi and Izumi were awkwardly silent for a while, but Itachi adjusted his mood first, and changed the topic first: "By the way, have you noticed something is not right in the clan recently?"

Quan Mei was taken aback for a moment, and then returned to her normal look: "Is there any?"

Itachi nodded solemnly: "Not bad."

"Although our clan is mainly responsible for the police work in the village, there are also some clan members who have missions outside."

"But recently I found that all the clan members who went out for missions did not accept any missions after returning to the clan."

"In addition to this, I noticed that there were many strange faces around the family residence."

"This is a very dangerous signal!"

Quan Mei thought for a while, then smiled and said, "You're wrong, my brother took a mission a few days ago and went out."

Hearing what Quanmei said, Itachi frowned even tighter.

Since Itachi has long been a Chunin, he has his own mission, and now he is fully capable of practicing independently, but he occasionally asks his teacher Yusuke for advice when encountering some problems.Therefore, Itachi doesn't often meet Yusuke.

Quan Mei glanced at the sky outside the teahouse, which had already begun to darken, and said expectantly: "It's getting late, let's go shopping at the night market together later, we haven't been together for a long time."

"not good!"

At this moment, Itachi's complexion changed drastically, which startled Quanmei who was opposite him.

Itachi immediately settled the bill, took Izumi's hand and hurried towards the Uchiha clan's residence.

"Hey? Itachi, what's wrong with you, why are you so nervous all of a sudden?" Quanmei asked strangely.

Quanmei was a little shy and happy when she was held by Itachi just now, but seeing Itachi's serious expression, she also realized that something big was about to happen.

Itachi's tone was low: "It's too late to explain, let's go back to the family first."

After returning to the family, Itachi immediately pulled out the bag that was still in the laboratory, and arranged Izumi, Izumi's mother Uchiha Hazuki, Yota and others to a hidden stronghold in the family.

After a brief explanation with Kazuto, Itachi immediately rushed home and brought his mother Uchiha Mikoto and Sasuke to the stronghold.

After arranging his family, Itachi immediately went to the police force to find his father Uchiha Fugaku.

"I hope everything is still in time!"

At this time, Itachi was very anxious, he felt that a huge conspiracy had enveloped the whole family.

But not long after leaving, he was stopped by an unexpected person.

"Shisui, I'm very busy today, so I'll talk about it tomorrow." Itachi looked at Shisui who suddenly blocked his way.

Since the long talk with Yusuke more than three years ago, Itachi's thinking has been completely different from the original book, and naturally it runs counter to Shisui's concept of "sacrificing the family to maintain the village".

Some time ago, Shisui also personally invited Itachi to join Anbu, but to Shisui's disappointment, Itachi rejected him.

Since then, the two people who already had a estrangement have become unfamiliar.

At the same time, in Itachi's mind, Zhishui was also included in the list that could not be completely trusted.

It wasn't that Itachi had personal opinions on Shisui, but that he keenly felt that Shisui's position was completely different from his own.

"Itachi, in the whole family, I can see that only you have the ability to sacrifice the small for the big. Everyone else can't understand this, even Yusuke-senpai!"

"Although I don't know what changed you, I still want to make a final effort."

Zhishui looked at Itachi sincerely, and said in a deep tone.

From Shisui's words, Itachi guessed that he probably knew something.

"So what do you mean by 'last effort'?" Itachi asked rhetorically.

"I can't say more about the specifics. But I hope you can go with me to meet Sandai and Danzo-sama. This is your only chance."

At this time, Shisui has received the order of the third generation, and to cooperate with Danzo to destroy the Uchiha clan tonight, just like playing the role of Itachi in the original book.

When he just received this order, Zhishui was also shocked.He is not a person who does not value the family, but the status of the village in his heart is much higher than that of the family.

Although Shisui also raised objections, he hoped that the patriarch Uchiha Fugaku could be invited to conduct peaceful negotiations to resolve the current crisis.But it was rejected by Danzo on the grounds of 'preventing the grass from scaring the snake'.

Then Danzo presented a large number of materials about the coup planned by the radicals of the Uchiha clan to persuade Shisui.

But what Shisui didn't know was that these evidences were half-truths and half-false, and most of them were forged by Danzo.

Because the radicals of the Uchiha clan have indeed produced some ideas, and expanding these existing facts makes it difficult to distinguish the true from the false.

The last three generations came forward in person, and Zhishui, who was full of voice and emotion, told about the heroes of the past who had made great sacrifices for the village, including the ancestors of Shisui's lineage Uchiha Kagami and others.

This also became the last weight to overwhelm Shisui's inner scale, making Shisui completely fall to Konoha's high-level side, and accepted the task of destroying the Uchiha clan with his own hands.

For the other Uchiha clansmen, Shisui has completely given up.But for his former best friend Itachi, Shisui still wants to try one last time.

"Although I failed to guide Itachi to the right path in the end, it may not be too late now." Shishui thought in his mind.

"The only chance?"

Itachi looked at Shishui expressionlessly, but also had mixed feelings in his heart.

It can be said that without the existence of Yusuke, a teacher, I would have followed Shisui's footsteps and embarked on a completely different path.

Scenes of scenes that I had experienced with Zhishui flashed in my mind, but these pictures were quickly replaced by more other pictures.

The scene of eating and chatting with parents, the scene of teasing the infant brother Sasuke, the scene of playing in the night market with Izumi, the scene of practicing gymnastics with Dou, and the scene of having a long talk with the teacher Yusuke.

Three years ago, Itachi no longer had the initial confusion in his heart, only firmness and determination.

"My teacher once said a word, I don't know if you have heard of it."

"What?" Zhishui frowned, he already had a bad feeling from Itachi's tone.

"Different road non-phase plan!"

　One today, two tomorrow.

　　Thank you all for your support! ! !
