Konoha I am Uchiha

"What the hell..." Itachi sat down on the ground.

The impact of today's events was too great for him.

It was obviously just a simple outing for an exercise, but he encountered a fight among ANBU. And he obviously just wanted to protect his companions, but he found that all this was coming towards him.

He is lost.

However, Hiiragi couldn't control him anymore: "From the current point of view, it seems that someone has colluded with this, and the goal is for us to conflict with the ninjas of 'Gen'."

"Fortunately, we have disguised ourselves. Although brother, your method of erasing the other party's memory may remind them of the Sharingan, but this method is not the only one that can do this."

"But our whereabouts tonight have been exposed, and we cannot rule out the possibility of their investigation." Shisui added.

"That's right!" Hiiragi gritted his teeth: "Nothing is without risk. We have done our best."

Unconsciously, Hiiragi gradually assumed the role of analytical think tank.

Shisui, while worried about Itachi's mental state, was also willing to give his brother a chance to exercise.

He is also confident that no matter what, he can protect his brother.

"There should be colluders in the Anbu. I even suspect that they deliberately leaked this news to the 'root' from within." Hiiragi traced the source: "But I don't think that the leaked order was issued by the clan leader. .”

He looked at Itachi, his expression serious.

Hiirago is not talking nonsense.

In the original work, the Uchiha clan did not raise the banner of coup until the last moment. Among them, Fugaku, as the clan leader, played a big role.

He has been suffering from the inability to stop the fanatical mentality of his tribe, and he knows very well that the confrontation between Uchiha and Konoha will only lead to destruction.

As for today's operation, if it is not handled well, it is very likely to lead to confrontation between Uchiha and 'Gen'. This is not something he can do.

"Hiirago..." Itachi's tone was a bit bitter: "You don't know, father, he... alas!"

Sighing, Itachi thought confusedly: Is this what you want to teach me, father? Or is this the position you are expressing to me?

"Itachi!" Hiirago denied: "Since you also know something, I will tell you directly. I think it is too early to make such a judgment now."

"Think about it, if the clan leader's position is biased against Konoha, then he will inevitably behave in peacetime." After all, Hiiragi didn't understand Fugaku, so he could only deceive him in some general directions: "You spend so much time with your father. Now, do you think he is this kind of person?"

"He took me to the battlefield when I was four years old. My father would definitely express his thoughts and stance to us in this way." Itachi was a little confused.

At this time, a hand patted Itachi's shoulder, it was Shisui: "Don't do this, Itachi."

"Brother Zhisui!" Itachi looked at Zhisui, speechless.

Hiirago was also convinced, Fugaku, it’s okay for you to have high expectations for your son, but you can’t do this. As a result, Itachi will push you whenever something happens.

"But, we are a little unsure." Shisui's voice was still calm: "We don't know that the identity of this person is exposed in the plan of someone who is not behind it."

"What do you mean?" Itachi asked eagerly, as if seeking proof.

"Itachi, if this is what the clan leader wants to express, he will definitely arrange for this ANBU to reveal his identity at the last moment and tell us the mission."

"But he didn't." Zhisui looked at the corpse beside him.

"You mean, the person behind the scenes used the clan leader's contact information to issue this mission without authorization?" Hiirago understood.

"Everything is possible. We can't be 100% sure, but there is a great possibility that this is not the clan leader's decision. And..." He looked at Itachi with a smile in his eyes: "I also believe that the clan leader would not make such an order. Order."

"Itachi, besides your father, who else did you say could contact this person?"

"In addition to his father... and his loyal confidants... you mean?" Itachi's face finally improved a little, and he said with some surprise: "Rebellion? This is impossible!"

"Never test people's hearts... Itachi." Zhisui's voice came faintly.

……

The storm of this night has passed like this, but the impact has not disappeared.

After Zhisui took the bodies that the two of them had disposed of, they walked around to the other side of the village. By the time they all arrived home, the moon was already high in the sky.

Originally, they planned to camp in the wild, but Hiiragi and others were worried that there would be actions against them and others in the future, so they returned to the clan area early.

Fortunately, Shisui didn't report their itinerary when they set off.

Because the exercise itself is extremely unexpected, no one knows what will happen during the exercise.

Lying on the bed at home, Hiiragi tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

Although the three of them had temporarily given up their suspicion of Fugaku, they still did not dare to tell Fugaku about this matter.

Although Hiiragi knew Fugaku's position, Shisui and Itachi were not at ease. They didn't want to see the confrontation between Uchiha and Konoha, so they couldn't tolerate the slightest risk.

What Zhisui means is that he will inquire among the ANBU. After the news of the disappearance of the ANBU comes out, if anyone behaves abnormally, he will follow the clues to investigate.

Itachi would pay attention to Fugaku's movements at home, and he could know which confidants his father had met at home. And these people were political property that Fugaku planned to leave to Itachi, and he would not guard against Itachi.

After the news comes out, someone will definitely come to visit my father, but I don’t know which one or which of them will be related to this matter.

Hiiragi wants strength but not strength, status but not position, so he can only act as a mascot.

He had no idea that he was being underestimated. After all, this is also a fact. All the preferential treatment he receives now is based on Shisui and Itachi.

He felt that although the two men's actions might be effective, there was little hope.

He has been thinking, if it is confirmed that this matter was not an order from Fugaku, then who is the henchman who can instigate rebellion against a clan leader, and what conditions are offered?

The biggest suspects are the elders and the deputy ministers of the police force.

But what Hiirago is confused about is, why do they want them and others to conflict with the roots?

Among the three of them, Itachi is the next clan leader, and Shisui is the holder of the Mangekyo. They are almost the most important rising stars in the Uchiha clan.

Such people have a bad impression of the 'roots', wouldn't they be closer to the Hokage lineage in disguise?

Or does he think that this will arouse Uchiha's dissatisfaction with all Konoha senior officials?

Logically speaking, this should be the method favored by those elders who advocate Uchiha independence, but this is not in line with Hiirago's understanding of their character in the clan association.

In the original work, the falling out between Uchiha and Konoha should have gradually intensified in recent years. Hiiragi didn't know if this incident was part of it, but the sense of urgency in his heart told him that time was running out.

With doubts and uneasiness, Hiiragi finally fell asleep.
