Konoha's Peerless Peerless

Chapter 108 Itachi's Confusion
The night was dark, and the lights in Konoha Village were almost dimmed. In the box in the Uchiha clan, Itachi, who had changed into normal clothes, was walking under the street lights with a ninja knife on his back.

The surrounding area was so quiet that Itachi could hear his heartbeat, bang~ bang bang~, his heartbeat was a little fast, faintly, he always felt that something bad was about to happen.

Just as he was frowning, a black figure appeared in the alley beside him.

"Who." Itachi put his hand on the ninja bag and became vigilant.

When he was vigilant, the black shadow gradually came over, and when he got under the light, Itachi could see his appearance clearly, it turned out to be Shisui.

Seeing that it was Shisui who came, Itachi let down his vigilance, put away his hands and walked to Shisui, and said with a smile on his face: "So it's Brother Shisui, why are you here, didn't you go to rest?"

"Yeah." Zhishui nodded with a deep expression, then raised his head to look at the dim light, and said, "I came here specially to wait for you, Itachi, just now the clansmen went to the assembly again..."

"Did you go to the rally again..." The smile on Itachi's face gradually disappeared, he looked at Shisui worriedly, and asked, "What are they going to do?"

"I don't know." Zhishui shook his head, then looked directly at Itachi and said, "After the patriarch came out to deal with them, he took the eight elders to the meeting room to discuss matters. Judging by the expression on the elder's face, I'm afraid there is nothing good."

"..." Itachi suddenly felt panicked in his heart, could it be that what he was worried about happened after all.

Seeing Itachi didn't speak, Shishui closed his eyes and sighed softly, and said, "Itachi, you have to be careful, if you guessed right, what your father discussed with those elders should be something we don't want to see."

"...Well, I see, I'll go back later, I'll go see my father." Itachi nodded and walked to Zhishui.

Just when he was about to rush home, Zhishui said suddenly: "That boy Lan is back, he came to look for me, and said something to me."

"Has Lan come back..." Itachi frowned, then nodded and said: "Okay, I know everything, if this is the case, then I will go to my father first."

"Go." Zhishui replied, then got up and left.

As Shisui left, Itachi also sped up a bit.

After jumping a certain distance on the eaves, Itachi returned to the door of his house and stood outside the gate. Just as he was about to reach out to push the door, the gatekeeper ninja emerged from the soil.

He looked at Itachi respectfully, and said, "Itachi, the Patriarch has something to discuss with you."

"...Okay, I see, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Itachi's heart began to beat faster, as if he had anticipated what his father wanted to say to him.

Standing outside the gate hesitated for a while, then Itachi raised his hand and pushed away.

After entering the courtyard, Itachi walked straight towards the room where his father often talked to him.

Along the way, Itachi frowned. After walking for a while, he came to the outside of his father's room, stepped forward, and tapped twice.

Immediately, the door was pushed open by Uchiha Fugaku inside.

He looked at Itachi with a sullen face, and opened his mouth and said, "I'm back."

"Yes, I'm back." Itachi nodded, then got up and walked in.

As soon as he walked in, Fuyue closed the door and walked in front of him. The father and son stood face to face in this dimly lit room. After standing for a while, Fuyue turned his back and said in a deep voice: "Itachi, You must have guessed what I am looking for you."

"...Well, I can probably guess a little." Itachi closed his eyes in pain and answered, and then he opened his eyes and stepped forward. I was a step behind and asked in confusion: "Father, can't you hold back?" Those guys? Don't we really have any other options?"

"..." Fuyue closed his eyes and did not reply to Itachi, but shook his head lightly and said in a low voice: "I can't hold back anymore, now the radicals are no longer that small group of people, the whole Uchiha is dissatisfied with Konoha, I can't do anything about it, Itachi, I'm helpless too, there's no way to stop this matter."

"Can't stop it?" Itachi clenched his teeth and clenched his fists. He lowered his head as if trying to suppress something.

Even with his back on his back, Fuyue could feel Itachi's feelings. He sighed helplessly, then turned around and walked up to Itachi, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Itachi, we can't choose now. If we can, I will I don't want to go this way, but if this continues, we Uchiha will be consumed by Konoha bit by bit like frogs in warm water.

Sorry, this is not what I saw. For the continuation of Uchiha, I had to make a choice in front of Konoha and the family. For Uchiha, I persuaded those radical elders and made a bloodless revolution plan ..."

Immediately afterwards, Fu Yue told Itachi his so-called bloodless revolution plan little by little. He was very excited when he said it, but Itachi kept his head down.

Joining Anbe, he knows this village better than Fuyue. Konoha is by no means so weak as it seems. Secretly, it hides many masters. Facing these people, Uchiha will definitely become miserable.

Itachi bowed his head in silence.

At this time, Fu Yue had finished his plan. He looked at Itachi with his head down, exhaled and said in a low voice: "I know you love this village very much, but Itachi, please don't forget, your surname is Uchiha , Uchiha is your home and everything to you. When I grow old, you will be the patriarch of Uchiha. I regard you as proud. Every Uchiha is proud of you. Itachi, please, please Please help our race that is about to die."

Itachi looked at his father, struggling, he knew what his father wanted him to do, and it was nothing more than taking advantage of his identity to take the lead in attacking those high-level Konohas. It stands to reason that he should agree to his father's request, but clearly With Konoha's strength, he is sure that if Uchiha starts to rebel, Konoha Genbu and Anbe, who have been waiting for a long time, will gather on their own to wipe out Uchiha, and Uchiha will be finished by then.

However, if he doesn't help his father, Uchiha will be finished. Even without his help, I believe that his father's so-called bloodless revolution will eventually become a reality, and Uchiha will not escape the result of failure and perdition.

Either way, it is a loser, and Itachi feels very entangled with this. He loves Konoha, and he also loves Uchiha. Now the two he loves are about to conflict for some reason, and he can't stop it. For this reason, Itachi feels Desperate, he suddenly had a hard time making a choice.

Itachi closed her eyes, gasped heavily and did not answer a word.

Seeing Itachi like this, Fuyue also knew his heart, bowed his head and sighed, he walked to the door, opened the door, then got up and walked out, just stepped one foot out, Fuyue turned back and said to Itachi: "Itachi, I won't force you, you should think about it carefully, and come to me when you think about it."

After speaking, he closed the door and left.

Hearing that the door was closed, Itachi sat down weakly. He looked at the floor in confusion, and asked himself in a low voice: "Why? Why did it become like this, damn it, is there no way?"

The night was getting deeper and deeper, and the lights were getting darker and darker. When the lights were about to go out, there was a knock on Itachi's door.

There were two knocks on the door, and then Mikoto's gentle and kind voice came through.

"Itachi, it's getting late. I saw that you didn't come to dinner, so I reheated it for you. I put the meal outside for you. Eat early and go to rest. Your body is the most important thing."

After she finished speaking, Miqin listened outside the house again, but she didn't hear anything, so she lowered her head and left with a sigh.

Itachi half-kneeled on the floor, watching the gradually receding shadow on the paper window, after a long time, until the shadow disappeared, he closed his eyes in pain and despair.

"Mother, father... sorry, because of Uchiha... I can't be with you." Itachi murmured.

At the same time, on the way to the root base, Shisui wearing a ninja outfit and carrying a ninja sword is moving rapidly.

He ran forward for a certain distance, then stopped, opened the Sharingan, looked at the trees on the left and said, "Come out, Lan, I know you are here."

As soon as the words fell, Lan got out of a tree, and after he came out slowly, he stood directly on the trunk and looked down at Zhishui.

Their eyes met, and the two of them just looked at each other for a while, and then Zhishui couldn't help asking: "Tell me, what are you trying to do by following me?"

Lan Huan started to look at Zhishui below, and said in a deep voice: "Are you going to find Danzang? If so, then you should go back. It is meaningless to communicate with him."

Shisui's pupils shrank, and then he lowered his head and said, "You have to try to know if it makes sense. I can't just watch Uchiha go to perish. For Uchiha, for the village, I have to do something."

As he said that, he clenched his fists and raised his head. Now, his eyes are a little firm.

Looking at Zhishui's firm eyes, Lan raised his head and looked at the dark sky and asked in a deep voice: "Do you think you can change all this?"

"... I don't know, I don't know if I can change all this, but I understand that if I do nothing, then nothing will change, and if you want a miracle to happen, you have to do something, this thing I have to do it." Zhishui's voice was a little loud, and it could be heard that he was a little emotional now.

Lan looked at him calmly, and opened his mouth to ask, "Do you want to do it even if you die?"

"Well, for the sake of peace, I have to negotiate with Danzo. Once Uchiha and the village meet, the village will suffer losses. At that time, other big countries will invade Konoha like tigers and wolves, so the war will break out. You I have never seen the tragedy of war, so you don't understand my heart, I'm sorry Lan, please leave here, I'm going to find Danzo."

Saying that, Zhishui turned and left.

Looking at the figure of Zhishui going away, Lan murmured to himself, "Is that so? Is this your way of ninja, to be desperate for peace..."

After taking a long breath, Lan submerged his body into the tree. It seems that something must have happened to Uchiha, otherwise Shisui would not be so anxious. It is inconvenient to conflict with Konoha.
