Chapter 383 Sweet smile, cold eyes

Just walking all the way, Itachi had no direction and no destination.

Itachi's every step is very slow. From the moment he walked out of the house, his eyes have been scanning the family's residence, and he has met many clansmen along the way.

Usually, people from most ethnic groups would greet Itachi, and Itachi would respond to the clansmen who greeted him, but today's style of painting has changed drastically.

Most of the clansmen that Itachi met along the way did not greet him as usual. These clansmen just stared at Itachi, some with anger in their eyes, some with suspicion, a little Full of confusion, some eyes flashed with puzzlement.

They all just looked at Itachi without saying anything, and some even turned away directly.

Rumors are fatal. When it was first reported that the patriarch's family had betrayed the family, most Uchiha clansmen didn't believe it, they all questioned it, and even refuted it aloud.

People are like this, if only one or two are saying that, others will certainly not believe the rumors, but if more and more people are saying that, and everyone around them is saying that, then they will go to Questioning rumors?
When everyone is saying this, their initial persistence will be shaken, from doubting at the beginning to gradually becoming half-believing, and finally becoming believing.

Many Uchiha people were like this when they first heard the rumors, but as more and more people said it, they began to believe it.

As the rumors spread more and more, at the beginning most of the clansmen still had hope for the patriarch's family. They were all expecting the patriarch to stand up and say, no!I did not betray the family.

At the beginning, as long as Uchiha Fugaku stood up and said such a thing, then these rumors were just rumors, and the vast majority of people would still believe Uchiha Fugaku, and only a small number of people would believe the rumors.

But at that time, Uchiha Fugaku was already disappointed by the plan of the family elders, and his heart could basically be said to be dead, so Uchiha Fugaku didn't stand up and say that.

Therefore, most of the people who believed in Uchiha Fugaku were disappointed. They began to believe the rumors of a small number of people. In the end, more and more people began to question Uchiha Fugake, the patriarch.

And when most of the tribe believe the rumors to be true, the rumors are no longer rumors, no matter whether it is true or not, it has become a fact.

"Itachi! Where are you going?"

Just when Itachi was about to step out of the family residence under the different eyes of his tribe, a girl about the same age as Itachi appeared in front of him.

Originally, the gazes along the way made Itachi a little numb, but when the girl greeted him, Itachi was stunned.

"I want to take a look, let's go!"

After a moment of silence, Itachi responded to the girl.

"Your complexion doesn't look very good. Is it because of the rumors in the mouth of the tribe? Don't worry too much! In fact, everyone believes in the patriarch in their hearts. As long as the patriarch stands up and says a word, those rumors will be self-defeating. "

Quan is a beautiful girl, and also a smart girl, seeing Itachi's preoccupied appearance, she smiled and comforted her.

The girl's smile was sweet and warm, and it made the balance in Itachi's heart that had shifted a bit return to balance.

"No! I'm just thinking about the mission."

Facing the girl's smile, Itachi also wore a trace of a smile on his face.

But this smile seemed a bit far-fetched, and Quan saw something strange from it, "Don't worry! It's only temporary, and everyone will return to normal afterward."

Quan has not been exposed to the filth behind the scenes, so she is in a good state of mind, and she has always believed in Itachi.

"Ok!"

Itachi, who didn't know how to respond to the girl, responded softly.

"Hey! Let me treat you to a meatball!"

Knowing that Itachi had something on his mind, Quan, who wanted to make Itachi happy, took Itachi's hand and ran to the meatball shop in the village.

Itachi was a little taken aback by the girl's actions, but he just let the girl hold his hand and trotted to follow the girl's pace.

"Boss! Bring me two skewers of meatballs."

All the way to the meatball shop, the girl smiled sweetly at the owner of the meatball shop.

"It's a spring! Wait a minute, I'll make it for you."

The boss who lowered his head and was making meatballs seemed to be very familiar with the girl, and he recognized the girl just by the voice without raising his head.

"Hey! Alright, two strings of meatballs."

Picking up two strings of meatballs, the boss handed them to the girl with a smile on his face.

The owner of the meatball shop originally had a smile on his face, but when he saw Itachi beside the girl, the smile disappeared, and at the same time, there was a ray of fear in his eyes.

"Huh? Boss? What's the matter?"

When the girl put the money on the table and was about to take the meatball skewers, she also noticed the strange expression on the boss's face, and she was immediately puzzled.

"Oh! Nothing, here you are."

Hearing Quan's sweet voice, the boss smiled again, but the smile was a bit far-fetched.

"Because I'm from the Uchiha clan?"

Seeing the boss's appearance, Itachi was a little stunned. He saw fear and disgust in the boss's eyes.

"Hey! This string is yours."

After receiving two strings of meatballs from the boss, Quan stuffed one of them into Itachi's hand.

"Ah? Oh!"

The melodious and crisp voice of a young girl, like a grouse, made Itachi come to his senses.

"Let's go!"

A sweet smile hung on Quan's face again, she took Itachi's hand again, and headed towards the trickling stream in Muye Village.

Itachi, who was being held by the girl, also had a smile on his face, this smile was no longer far-fetched, it came from the heart.

It's just that Itachi's smile didn't last long, and it dissipated again, because out of the corner of his eyes, he saw the appearance of the villagers at this time.

The nearby villagers were all watching Itachi and Quan, their faces were full of indifference, and some even showed their disgust directly on their faces.

What Itachi saw in the eyes of these villagers was estrangement, hatred, indifference, and disgust. Itachi's face was filled with disappointment.

Izumi didn't notice other people's gazes, just kept walking while holding Itachi's hand, the smile never left his face, as if he couldn't see the strange eyes around him, as if the only people walking on the road were himself and Itachi.

Maybe the girl is used to all this!

"Itachi, why don't you eat it? Don't you like eating meatballs?"

Pulling Itachi all the way to the stream, Quan frowned slightly when he saw that the meatball in Itachi's hand hadn't moved a bit.

"No, no!"

After being awakened from the boredom in his heart by the girl, Itachi faltered and sent the ball in his hand to his mouth.

Take a bite, sweetly.

"Hey! It's delicious!"

The girl's smile is also sweet.

With sweet meatballs and a sweet smile, Itachi looked at Quan foolishly.
