Konoha Sheriff

As the life-size statue was slowly erected by the clan members, Fugaku's funeral officially came to an end.

Zhisui and Beichen were busy entertaining representatives of major families who came to attend Fugaku's funeral.

Most of them were just going through the motions, just saying a few words to Beichen and the others before leaving in a hurry. Apparently they saw clearly that the conflict between Uchiha and Konoha would not be eliminated, so they chose to protect themselves wisely.

But there were also some members of the blood family who were not taken seriously by Konoha's high-level officials. They held Beichen and Shisui's hands and chatted for a while, looking like they hated meeting each other so late.

These people naturally choose to put their treasure on Uchiha. They are not valued by the top management of Konoha, and they do not have a share when the cake is divided. Therefore, they hope that Uchiha can overthrow the top management of Konoha so that they can Follow behind and take a few sips of soup.

For these people, Beichen naturally gave enough face. Regardless of the size of these families, if someone was willing to follow their Uchiha, he could not turn them away.

While the reception was in full swing, the little guy Sasuke came out of nowhere, pointed at Beichen and said in a strong tone:

"You, come with me!"

Seeing that Sasuke dared to talk to the current clan leader like this, Uchiha Satoshi subconsciously wanted to drive Sasuke aside, not wanting Beichen to be embarrassed in front of many family representatives, but before he could make any move, Beichen reached out to stop him:

"I'm going to go with him, Cong. You can entertain him here first."

After saying that, Beichen did not look at Uchiha Satoshi's weird expression, and followed Sasuke to a nearby secluded place.

"Tell me, what do you want to do by sending me here?"

Beichen looked at Sasuke with some humor. He didn't think Sasuke could pose any threat to him. Even if Erzhu was the reincarnation of Indra, he was only a seven-year-old child at this time, and he had to pay attention to the basic methods of cheating.

He would follow Sasuke here, mainly because Sasuke's behavior of looking for someone in front of the grave made Beichen unconsciously think of a famous scene in the original work.

In the original work, Itachi seemed to have asked Orochimaru questions about "the meaning of life" at the funeral, and then, the fool seemed to have jumped off a cliff...

After Sasuke stared at the smiling Beichen and looked him up and down for a while, his eyes suddenly widened. Following his movements, a pair of single Magatama Sharingan appeared in his eyes:

"Let me ask you, where is my brother? Shisui said that he betrayed the family and ran away alone. I don't believe this is true. He is not that kind of person!"

Looking at Sasuke who asked where his brother had gone, Beichen unconsciously had a wicked smile on his face:

"As for where your brother has gone, I actually don't know. The guy who killed your father took your brother with him when he escaped. We still haven't figured out what happened between your brother and that mysterious man. Relationship."

Hearing Beichen also say that his brother left Konoha with the mysterious man who killed his father, Erzhuzi couldn't accept the truth for a while:

"You, you are talking nonsense!"

He subconsciously stretched out his hand to hit Beichen, but before he could take action, a gentle voice came from the distance:

"Sasuke, you can't be disrespectful to the Beichen clan leader!"

The person who spoke was none other than Uchiha Mikoto, who had come all the way to find Sasuke.

"Mother..." Seeing his mother coming, Sasuke subconsciously snuggled into Mikoto's arms, but he still said reluctantly:

"Mom, this guy said that my brother left with the father who killed the mysterious man. He lied to me, right? My brother said that this guy is not a good person."

"No nonsense!" Mikoto was startled by Sasuke's words. She subconsciously covered Sasuke's mouth and showed an apologetic smile to Beichen:

"I'm sorry, Chief Beichen, it was my lax discipline that led to..."

"Children's words are unbridled." Beichen stretched out his hand to stop Mikoto who was about to salute him and said: "Sasuke and his brother grew up together. It is understandable that they cannot accept such a truth for a while."

Having said this, Beichen looked at Sasuke in Mikoto's arms and said:

"I am only responsible for stating the facts. As for why your brother left with that person, instead of asking me, you might as well find the answer yourself when you grow up.

What is certain at the moment is that your brother is definitely not dead yet, so as long as you work hard to become a powerful ninja, you will be able to see Itachi again one day. Do you think I am right? "

In her heart, Mikoto actually didn't want to believe that her son would be involved with the person who killed his father, so after hearing what Beichen said, she thought that Beichen was trying to encourage Sasuke to work hard, so she followed Beichen's words. :

"Now, you heard it too, Sasuke. From now on, it's up to you to ask your brother what the answer is to his question, okay?"

"Okay!" Looking at his mother's earnest eyes, a small seed began to sprout in Sasuke's heart.

He has to practice hard and become an excellent ninja until one day he appears in front of his brother and asks him why he left Konoha, why he left himself and his mother!

As everyone knows, this is all part of Beichen's plan.

He just wanted future Sasuke to question Itachi himself.

Think about it, Sasuke, who has seen and experienced so much in his family, will reunite with Itachi in the future, and he is eager to hear the reason why Itachi left Konoha.

In the end, Itachi just threw out a lot of nonsense and nonsense. How disappointed should Sasuke be?

He couldn't wait to see the scene where Sasuke would reprimand Itachi for his stupidity after defeating Itachi... It must be the most painful punishment for Itachi to have his brother who he values ​​and protects the most personally crush all those wild fantasies!

…………

After sending Sasuke and Mikoto away, Beichen returned to the funeral venue and continued to receive subsequent guests.

By coincidence, he had just returned when a team of three came to greet him:

"Minister Beichen."

The one in the middle of the group of three has the iconic pineapple hair, the one on the left is a fat man, and the one on the right has his blond hair tied into a long ponytail.

Just by looking at their attire, Beichen recognized the identities of the three people.

These three people are clearly the most special "Igashika Butterfly" combination among all the blood families in Konoha.

However, the people who came here were not Nara Shikaku, who was the current head of the clan, Akimichi Choza and Yamanaka Kaiichi, the three clan leaders, but just less famous juniors in the clan.

Thinking about it, Ino Shikacho is well-known as a "Hokage Party", so how could he have close contact with an obvious "anti-Party" like Uchiha?

After thinking about this clearly, Beichen had already made plans in his heart to be polite, but he never thought that the Nara tribe leader among the three people did not bow like other guests, but walked up quickly. Gently held Beichen's hand...
