After leaving Ichiraku, Munechika took Sasuke all the way to the west.

Walking out of the bustling village, until you hear the rushing sound of the stream, there is no human habitation here.

Only the Nanhe River is left, flowing continuously.

Continue along the path in the woods and reach the lower reaches of the river, where you will see the Uchiha clan land.

There was a lot of humidity in the forest, the dense leaves blocked the moonlight from above, and there was a constant buzzing of insects in my ears.

The shoes stepped on the fluffy weeds and brought up the slightly smelly soil.

After the Kyuubi Incident, the Uchiha clan was suppressed by Konoha's top brass, and the clan moved to the edge of the village.

The road from the village to the clan land is neither far nor close, but it is located in the wilderness and accidents can easily happen.

Munekika also had a vague feeling that this trip home would never be peaceful.

The ANBU member was quite dedicated and followed him all the way.

But he neither showed up nor took action, always maintaining a distant distance.

Sasuke couldn't help but glance sideways and behind him several times:

"Something doesn't seem right in the back."

He tugged on Munechika's arm and whispered.

"what?"

Zongjin raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

Even with ethereal perception, it is not easy to detect the hidden darkness.Sasuke is indeed a genius of the Uchiha clan. He can discover the clues hidden under the calmness at a young age.

He grinned and squeezed Sasuke's palm calmly.

"Don't worry, it's just a fly."

For Munechika, ordinary ANBU can be quietly wiped out at any time.

The reason why he turned a blind eye was, firstly, because of his special status. As the captain of the ANBU, his nightmare chakra was not a secret, and his identity might be easily exposed if he took action.He didn't want to continue to carry the darkness of the village when he took off his mask.

They have to fight and kill on non-working days, and they don’t even get overtime pay. The capitalists will cry when they see it.

Also, I just don’t want to alert the enemy.

The visitor was just an appetizer, and it was more in Munechika's interests to catch the big fish behind him.

Poor Sasuke didn't know yet that sending him home was just Munechika's excuse to take advantage of him.

Safe journey.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the edge of the forest area.

The tanuki with big arms jumped down from the branch, bending the branch in front of him, and the Uchiha tribe came into view.

This place was originally a fishing bay. After the Uchiha clan moved in, the small settlement expanded into a relatively independent town. At this moment, the dots of lights floated out of the windows and were crushed into rippling waves by the gurgling Nanga River. Waves of light.

Walking out of the woods, the fields are empty.

This was by no means a good ambush location. Munechika deliberately slowed down his pace, but the ANBU hidden behind him did not follow.

Zongjin frowned, feeling an unspeakable discomfort in his heart, as if he had missed something crucial.

He raised his head and met a pair of aggressive eyes.

Breathing inaudibly.

He has a face as cold and hard as granite, a dark green Jōnin vest, and a star-shaped fan printed on the right arm of his dark blue gown.

This is the unique emblem of the Uchiha Guards.

Sasuke looked a little excited and couldn't help but speed up his pace.

Combining the above signs, the identity of this person is easy to come out.

The father of Itachi and Sasuke, the current patriarch of the Uchiha clan, and the owner of the hidden Mangekyō Sharingan.

Uchiha Fuyake.

No matter how indecisive or even incompetent he was in his memory, this encounter alone was enough to raise Munechika's wariness against him to a higher level.

This is definitely not a mediocre person. At least, he has the strength to be proud of Konoha.

and……

From his body, Munekika could also feel the murderous aura of a hundred battles for the rest of his life.

Fugaku crossed his arms and nodded to the two of them as a greeting.

"Father!"

A smile broke out between Sasuke's brows and eyes, and he ran into Fugaku's arms.

Munechika looked at Fugaku calmly.

He knelt down and touched Sasuke's head. There seemed to be nothing but doting in his eyes.

The two talked and laughed, showing a deep affection between father and son.

Munechika stood aside silently, doubtful in his heart, but he didn't feel embarrassed.

"Since Sasuke is back safely, I won't disturb him."

But after observing for a while, he really didn't find anything unusual about Fugaku.

Munechika shook his head in confusion, and could only attribute the ominous premonition to his own paranoia.

"You're welcome, Chief Fugaku. Goodbye, Sasuke."

"Thank you very much. Goodbye."

Fugaku bowed slightly to him, turned around with Sasuke and walked through the antique mahogany torii towards the entrance of the town.

Munechika was not in a hurry to leave, watching the father and son's backs drifting away.

The bright moonlight fell, and the shadows of the two people undulated, getting longer and longer.

After a while, they walked onto the pedestrian avenue in the center of the town and were about to turn a corner ahead.

Munechika smiled self-deprecatingly and rubbed his sore eyebrows.

The moment I turned around!

"Shhhhhh."

The silence of the night was broken by the whistling sound of shurikens piercing the air.

At the same time, a figure that had been ambushing on the roof jumped out, and a dazzling fireball rolled straight towards the two of them.

He saw the firelight illuminating Fugaku's bright red Sharingan and Sasuke's slightly horrified gaze.

Fugaku let go of Sasuke's hand and formed a seal with lightning speed, his cheeks puffed up and his waist and abdomen were tilted back at an exaggerated angle.

The same is Fire Release·Hao Fireball.

Although he was inferior in timing, he was faster than the attacker!

Two fireballs the size of truck noses collided in mid-air.

As violent explosions continued to sound, the attackers seemed a little helpless, and Fugaku's had clearly gained an overwhelming advantage.

The attacker used his flaw without hesitation, threw out a black light, turned around and ran away.Fugaku tried to pursue him, but Sasuke beside him fell down clutching his right shoulder.

"Sasuke!"

Fugaku's figure stagnated and he forcibly stopped his momentum, his face full of unwillingness.

Sokon was filled with doubts and rushed over without hesitation.At the same time, a black shadow shot out from the woods in the distance.

The attackers were very smart and chose to attack in the safest place.

He was curious, who could bypass the Uchiha clan's heavy protection and sneak into its hinterland to launch an attack?

"Father...hiss!"

When Munechika arrived, Sasuke had already sat down against the wall.

He gritted his teeth and covered his right shoulder. The clothes around the wound were stained black and red, and a bloody kunai lay on the ground.

Fugaku untied his clothes with a solemn expression and began to treat the wound.

"How are you injured?" Zongjin squatted down.

"It's just a little flesh wound. If you want to become a qualified ninja, you have to go through it."

Fugaku gritted his teeth and said bitterly:

"I made you laugh. I didn't expect to be ambushed at the door of my house and let the murderer escape. This is really a shame to the Uchiha clan!"

"As long as he's not hurt, Chief Fugaku should take Sasuke for treatment first. I want to walk around and see if I can find any clues."

Munechika glanced at Fugaku.

Out of the corner of his eye, Fugaku glanced to one side and hesitated for a moment.

"The visitor is a guest, but it's a little late. Please don't disturb the peace of the tribe."

"Of course not, I'm just going around briefly, don't worry, Chief Fugaku."

Fugaku smiled reluctantly.

"I'm worried that the kunai is poisonous. I need to take Sasuke to the hospital immediately to treat the wound. Please forgive me for being rude."

"Please."

Munechika stared at Fugaku's hurried away figure, thoughtfully.
