After a sleepless night, Uchiha Sasuke came to the dining table tiredly.

Today was no different from any other day, his father was sipping tea, his mother was preparing breakfast, and his brother just finished his morning exercise and came over to sit next to him.

Uchiha Itachi noticed the dark circles under his eyes and asked worriedly, "Did you not sleep well last night?"

"Nothing, brother, are you going to Anbu later?" Uchiha Sasuke covered up and changed the subject.

Unexpectedly, Uchiha Itachi paused, then looked at Uchiha Fugaku who had been silent, and shook his head at Uchiha Sasuke's strange expression.

Uchiha Sasuke saw his reaction was different from usual and asked in confusion: "What's wrong, brother?"

Uchiha Fugaku put the teacup on the table, making a clanging sound. When Uchiha Sasuke looked at him subconsciously, Uchiha Fugaku looked at him with a serious expression.

"Stay after breakfast, there's something you need to know."

Uchiha Sasuke was stunned. He looked at his mother who was standing in front of the stove with her back to them, and his brother who was unusually silent today. His heart sank.

What happened?

It was a rare occasion for their family of four to sit upright at the table, and the depressing atmosphere made Uchiha Sasuke feel annoyed.

Uchiha Fugaku lowered his eyes and spoke slowly, "The Uchiha will launch a coup in the spring."

"What..." Uchiha Sasuke was stunned and didn't react to his father's words at all.

"This is the wish of all the clan members, to seize the ruling power of Konoha and restore the original Uchiha name."

His father's calm words hit his ears, and Uchiha Sasuke's breath was choked. He retorted without thinking: "How can this be... Father, are you going to start a war?!"

"This is an inevitable result, but we will strive to achieve a bloodless revolution." Uchiha Fugaku's face was cold and solemn, "Sasuke, you should know the tension between Uchiha and Konoha."

Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but sweat on his palms. He felt both terrified and vaguely calm. After all, even a child like him could feel Konoha's exclusion of the Uchiha, not to mention many of the clan members.

However, he had never considered, or thought at all, that the Uchiha would choose to betray Konoha.

The sudden revolution made the inexperienced Uchiha Sasuke unable to react in time. He subconsciously wanted to seek the reaction of his mother and brother, but when he found their silence and acquiescence, Uchiha Sasuke felt bitter in his heart, because they had known about this matter for a long time and agreed to it.

"Brother!" Uchiha Sasuke grabbed the sleeve of Uchiha Itachi next to him without giving up, eager to hear his response.

Uchiha Fugaku frowned and raised his voice: "Sasuke, you are now an independent ninja. Do you just look for other people when you encounter problems? Don't let me be disappointed in you!"

His father's disappointment overwhelmed all the random thoughts in Uchiha Sasuke's mind. His face turned pale, and he finally let go of Uchiha Itachi's sleeve and sat up straight.

Uchiha Fugaku stood up and left with oppression regardless of their feelings.

The usually gentle mother just leaned over and touched his head with embarrassment this time, and finally left without saying a word, leaving Uchiha Itachi with an uncertain expression and Uchiha Sasuke with a confused mind sitting alone.

For a long time, the room was dead silent.

Uchiha Sasuke bit his lip and said with difficulty: "Why are you telling me now?"

Uchiha Itachi's long hair obscured his expression, and it was not until Uchiha Sasuke's anger grew stronger that he spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Forgive me, Sasuke."

"Just ignore people who lose their temper easily!" Uzumaki Naruto put his hands on his head in dissatisfaction.

Haruko was also lying on the grass next to him in the morning, "As expected, Naruto you are also super worried about Sasuke right?"

"Huh?" Uzumaki Naruto somersaulted and retorted, "I'm not worried about him! Who would worry about that pretentious person?"

Morning Haruko also stood up and looked at him seriously, "Then Naruto, have you come up with a solution after thinking for so long?"

Seeing her clear eyes, Uzumaki Naruto unconsciously revealed his thoughts, "Well...if you don't understand, just let everyone join in the fun, and you'll always be happy."

"Oh! What a good idea!" Haruko Asako's eyes lit up and she patted his shoulder excitedly, "Sasuke is so lucky to have good friends like us!"

Uzumaki Naruto scratched his head shyly when she praised him, and then suddenly realized, "No, I didn't try to make Sasuke happy!"

Ignoring Uzumaki Naruto's awkward retorts, Haruko decided to host a small party in the morning and let everyone participate, so that Sasuke would definitely want to participate!

"I'm not going." Uchiha Sasuke rejected her coldly.

"Eh--" Haruko Asahi looked frustrated and moved closer, "But if Sasuke doesn't go, he's isolating us!"

Uchiha Sasuke showed an expression of disbelief, "Me? Isolate you?"

Uzumaki Naruto also chimed in, "That's right, Sasuke you are such a cocky bastard!"

"What did you say?! You super invincible idiot!" Uchiha Sasuke was so angry at him that he forgot for a moment that they were still in a cold war.

Seeing that Uzumaki Naruto's provocation was a little too successful, Haruko Asahi quickly stood between the two of them and gave Uchiha Sasuke her usual erratic smile.

"It's agreed! Meet at Naruto's house after dinner!"

After saying this, Haruko Zaoma didn't give him a chance to refuse, and quickly pulled Uzumaki Naruto and ran away.

Uchiha Sasuke looked at the two of them as they left and turned around with mixed emotions.

……

"Stop eating, Choji! If you eat any more, all the snacks I brought will be eaten up by you!"

Yamanaka Ino was originally decorating the room. When she turned around, she saw Akimichi Chouji not only not helping but also secretly eating snacks. She was immediately furious.

Akimichi Chouji was frightened by her. Although he looked scared, he kept picking up the potato chips. "It...it doesn't matter. We brought so many..."

He simply won't repent! Yamanaka Ino was about to step forward and punch him, but was quickly stopped by Nara Shikamaru.

"It's already troublesome, don't create more trouble." Nara Shikamaru looked at them with dead eyes, "And you, Choji, stop eating and help quickly."

"Okay..." Akimichi Choji responded, and added, "I'll come after you finish this bag!"

After hearing what he said, Yamanaka Ino's eyes became angry again, and Nara Shikamaru didn't want to persuade them anymore. He walked straight to Inuzuka Kiba and Akamaru who were in charge of blowing up the balloons.

"You too, it's fine if Akamaru plays with balloons, but why are you playing here too?"

Nara Shikamaru closed his eyes in despair as he looked at Inuzuka Kiba, who had not blown up many balloons but had been throwing balloons at Akamaru.

"Ah?" Inuzuka Kiba's excitement paused. The balloon that was knocked away by Akamaru floated past his hands that were just about to catch it, and landed gently on the ground.

Akamaru shouted excitedly. Inuzuka Kiba, who just realized that he had lost, angrily held his head and said, "Ahhh! It's all your fault, Shikamaru! I didn't catch it!"

"...Don't push the blame onto others without your permission. It will cause a lot of trouble." Nara Shikamaru felt that it was a mistake for him to come here.

Inuzuka Kiba stopped pretending to be weird and asked in confusion: "But why are you so motivated all of a sudden?"

"What can I do? Just push all the troubles onto me."

Nara Shikamaru really wanted to slap himself in the face when Haruko was in charge of decorating the party in the morning, but in the end he stopped his imagination and wiped his face in pain.

"Okay, Ya, just blow up the balloon quickly, and you can play however you want from now on."
