Konoha Sheriff

"Lord Danzo, we searched the entire barren mountain and finally found the bodies of Captain Lynx and suspected Uchiha Beichen at the foot of the mountain."

In the secret underground base of the Root organization, a Root ninja was kneeling in front of Tuan Zang, reporting what they had found after a night of searching.

Danzo didn't care about the casualties reported by his subordinates. He just looked at his subordinates and asked in a cold tone:

"What do you mean by a body suspected to be Uchiha Beichen?"

"Because that body and Captain Lynx's body were scraped beyond recognition by the thorns and branches under the cliff, so my subordinates are not sure whether that person is Uchiha Beichen."

"Where's the Sharingan? Don't you know how to open his eyelids and see if there are three Magatama Sharingan in his eye sockets?"

Although Danzo at this time had not yet mastered the Uchiha family's forbidden art, Izanagi, he felt the benefits of the Sharingan through the three magatama eyes of the Uchiha Mirror.

Although he couldn't turn it on and off independently, and the consumption of chakra was staggering, the improvement in his insight ability was real... Therefore, at this time, he was thinking about whether he could find an opportunity to collect more three. Magatama Sharingan just in case you need it.

"My subordinates have thought of this, but the eyes of the corpse have been destroyed, so..."

Upon hearing this, Danzo fell into deep thought unconsciously.

It stands to reason that since the Kakashi incident, it is extremely possible for Uchiha people to destroy their own eyes when they are about to die.

But Uchiha Beichen's kid looks like a ghost. It's possible that he did it on purpose to create an illusion to confuse himself...

"Where is that body now?"

Danzo still wanted to verify the authenticity of the body himself.

But he heard his subordinates say:

"Shortly after we found the corpses, we discovered the figure of Uchiha ninja not far away... Because we were worried that the meeting between the two parties would cause unnecessary trouble, our subordinates set fire to all the corpses and asked Danzo-sama to punish them."

Danzo wanted to get angry when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he felt that his men did the right thing.

If the Uchiha people were allowed to see the bodies of their men and those suspected to be Beichen, they would definitely become furious and even do some extreme actions.

When the body was burned like this, and there was no evidence of death between the two parties, it was hard for the Uchiha people to break up with the high-level officials of Konoha like them by relying on the low-key Uchiha Izumi.

Danzo knew very well that the Third Generation's attitude towards Uchiha was that the matter should not be brought to the table no matter what, so after thinking for a moment, he finally said:

"You did the right thing, so I won't hold you accountable for your unauthorized actions. However, the surveillance arrangements for ten miles outside the village must remain as usual. I want to keep track of the entry and exit of all people outside the village in real time.

In addition, pay close attention to what is going on over there in the Uchiha clan. If there is any disturbance, report it to me immediately! "

"understand!"

…………

At the same time, inside the Fugaku family's mansion.

The clan leader, Uchiha Fugaku, Kan Itachi, Shisui, and the ten captains and deputy captains of the police force gathered together, all looking at the delicate and weeping figure in the hall.

"Quan, please stop crying first and tell us exactly what happened."

Quan sobbed again for a moment, and after a long while he calmed down a little, and recounted the whole story with a choked voice.

After hearing that Beichen faced twelve root ninjas alone to save Quan, and his whereabouts are still unknown... All the clan members, including Fugaku, had red eyes and their bodies were shaking uncontrollably.

"Those high-level officials in Konoha are really bullying people!"

Huofeng was so excited that even the pairs of magatama sharingan in his eyes were trembling violently. As the frequency of trembling became faster and faster, the pair of magatama gradually rotated, and an extra magatama was born in them. .

Seeing a tribesman opening the three magatama sharingan because of Beichen's life and death, Itachi beside him couldn't feel the same disgusting or sad feeling as usual.

He himself didn't know what kind of state he was in now.

Although he interrupted his original plan last time because he witnessed Beichen and Quan's relationship, at this time, he still had a glimmer of hope for Beichen in his heart.

He originally thought that he would feel angry and sad after hearing the news of Beichen's death, but for some reason, he only felt relieved at this time.

The feeling that "everything is finally under his control and life can return to normal" made him so excited that he was trembling faintly, but at the same time, he felt fear in his heart.

Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Itachi, your tribe was obviously killed by Konoha high-level officials, why are you feeling excited at this moment?

Could it be that your morale has been affected by this miserable family without you realizing it?

Itachi couldn't find an answer to this question, and he wasn't as prepared to ask the question as he usually was.

An unprecedented feeling of wanting to escape arose in his heart. In order to escape this uneasy feeling of guilt, he subconsciously set his sights on Quan.

Looking at Quan, whose eyes were red and swollen and still sobbing, Itachi felt a throbbing in his heart for no reason.

Perhaps it was Quan's pitiful look at this moment that was really attractive, or perhaps it was out of some more unbearable thoughts in his heart that For the first time, Itachi took out two tissues from the side and handed them over.

In my imagination, Quan would be stunned in place because of this action of his, or maybe he would lower his head shyly...

As a ninja, it is obviously impossible to say that he knows nothing about her eyes. Itachi knows very well that Izumi has been quietly paying attention to him in the past few years.

He understood the concept of a window period, but felt that his performance at this time would definitely make Quan return his attention to himself.

"Thank you!"

But it was completely beyond his expectation. Faced with the paper towel handed to him, Quan said thank you, took the paper towel from his hand and wiped his tears, but she didn't even look at him.

At this moment, Itachi felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

There was no other reason. Quan's behavior of ignoring him reminded him of Beichen uncontrollably.

"It's no longer necessary. Whatever you think... Or, even if I am the kind of person you imagined? What can you do to me?"

Recalling what Beichen said to himself that day on the streets of Konoha, I looked at Izumi Uchiha who felt pity for me in front of me.

The flutter in Itachi's heart disappeared instantly.

"Itachi, are you listening to me?"

In a daze, Itachi seemed to hear his father calling him:

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Itachi raised his head in shock and found that everyone present was looking at him with extremely strange eyes.

After all, Shisui and Itachi have been friends for many years, and since he urgently needed someone to support his opinions at this time, he explained in a low voice:

"Beichen is the Minister of Police after all. His whereabouts remain unknown for a long time is not an option, and it can easily cause uneasiness among the clan members. Therefore, the clan leader is asking everyone whether we should hold a clan meeting to announce the news."
