Chapter 186 The Crisis of the Uchiha Clan (3K, Please Subscribe!)

Country of Fire, Konoha Village, high-rise conference room.

This time, the Third Hokage and the three advisors, who controlled Konoha's highest power, all arrived, but no patriarch of any big family was present.

In addition to the four actual controllers of Konoha sitting in their seats, there were two people standing opposite them, namely Shisui and Itachi.

In three and a half years, Itachi has become a teenager, while Shisui has become an adult.

Itachi went from a newcomer who just entered ANBU to become the ace of the ANBU affiliated to the Third Hokage, and the name of "Duango" also resounded throughout the ANBU.

Shisui guarded the eastern border of Konoha for three years. He was recalled to Konoha six months ago, and then returned to Anbu.

Today's Shisui has the reputation of being the first person in Uchiha to carry the title of 'Shisui Shisui' instantly.

Both of them followed the orders of Danzo and the Third to monitor the Uchiha clan and regularly reported to the village higher-ups.

This meeting was to discuss the Uchiha clan's behavior of holding two gatherings in just one month.

"Shisui, it's up to you to tell me the specific situation."

Danzo looked at Shisui and said in a deep voice.

"Yes." Shisui nodded and said: "The Uchiha clan has been dissatisfied with the village for a long time, and it reached a peak a month ago.

At present, apart from the clan leader, two of the remaining three elders of the Uchiha clan have clearly incited rebellion at the assembly.

The other two elders were still hesitating and their attitude was ambiguous, while the patriarch was still trying his best to comfort them.

However, in the meeting held yesterday at the initiative of the second elder, the first elder also agreed to the second elder's proposal, saying that if the village does not show sincerity, it will no longer be patient.

The third elder seemed to be persuaded.

Now the attitude of the clan leader seems to have changed, and most of the clan members who participated in the opportunity are quite excited. "

Shisui calmly recounted the process as if he was a bystander, without any personal feelings or favoring his family.

Itachi lowered his head, not knowing what to think.

"Itachi, do you have anything to add?"

The third generation looked at Itachi and whispered.

"No, what Shisui-san said is completely true, and my father was indeed shaken." Itachi replied expressionlessly. The pressure from the village and his family had made him rarely show other expressions.

"It seems we have to attack the Uchiha clan!" Danzo narrowed his exposed left eye, with a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes. His meaning was very obvious. The third generation, Koharu, and Mito Kadenen have worked with him for decades. , naturally understand his thoughts.

"This is indeed a big problem. The village has finally formed an alliance with Kumogakure and is finally at peace. If the Uchiha clan wants to destroy this peace, we will have no choice but to take action!"

"We have Shisui and Itachi as internal agents. The Uchiha clan has no chance of winning. Hiruzen, what do you say?"

Koharu and Mito Kadoyan moved to bed and were obviously as mentally prepared as Danzo.

"Hey~" The Third Hokage sighed with a troubled face and said:

"I don't agree with your point of view. The Uchiha clan are former comrades-in-arms. I don't want to resort to force. Let's solve it through peaceful negotiation.

Shisui, I hope you and Itachi will continue to monitor the Uchiha clan.

If possible, you can convey the village's wishes to Fugaku.

We do not want to use force to solve this problem. There are always other ways. "

"yes!"

"Yes! Thank you, Lord Three Generations. I will definitely convey your wishes and find a way for the peace of the village."

Shisui's face was filled with gratitude, and he and Itachi left the conference room together.

After the two left, Danzo slowly turned his head, and the third generation also turned to look at Danzo with tacit understanding.

"Hiruzhan, do you really think you can make Uchiha surrender without using force?" Danzo smiled coldly.

The third generation frowned and said: "After all, it is the life of the clan, we still have to be cautious.

It would be better to try to appease the Uchiha clan now.

Of course, we still have to be prepared.

Leave it to me to communicate with the Uchiha clan, and I will do my best. "

"Hmph!" Danzo snorted and did not object. After all, what the Third Generation said made sense.

Although he now wants to destroy the Uchiha and obtain their Sharingan, his current preparations are not sufficient. If he attacks immediately, the loss will be too great.

While the third generation is arguing with the Uchiha clan, they can take the opportunity to make arrangements.

In addition, the two geniuses of the younger generation of the Uchiha clan must take this opportunity to win over.

Especially since Shisui is now the number one member of the Uchiha clan, he is a very crucial chess piece. As long as he does not help the Uchiha clan, or even help the village deal with Uchiha, then the village's chances of winning will be higher, and at least there will be casualties. will be greatly reduced.

Danzo's resolute attitude just now was partly out of his true thoughts, but also partly because he was trying to make a fool of himself.

Even if he didn't communicate in advance, he believed that the third generation would cooperate with him. Whether it was true or false, the third generation would definitely not tell Shisui and Itachi directly about the village's decision.

"Indeed, just do what Hiruzen said. We must be fully prepared during this period." Mito Kadoyan said solemnly.

Xiaochun, who was sleeping next to him, also nodded: "During this period, let's start calling back some of the elites who have been dispatched.

After the alliance, Kumogakure in the north has completely settled down, and the northern border does not need so many people to garrison.

In addition, the same is true for Kirigakure. All the Uchiha clan members in Kirigakure should be recalled. This way, if the worst comes to the worst, they can be dealt with all at once.

In addition, Shisui and Itachi are from the Uchiha clan after all. Although they are now loyal to the village, we have to be on guard.

What Hiruzen said just now is very right. At least on the surface, we cannot let them know the village's true intentions.

Before we are fully prepared, we cannot force the Uchiha clan too much. "

Mitomon Yan said: "In this case, from now on, reduce the tasks of the Anbu, and leave more elites in the village just in case. "

"Also! We need to add more people to monitor the Uchiha clan! My "root" will assist you, Hiruzen. "Danzo said in a deep voice.

"This... okay. "The Third Hokage hesitated for a moment and nodded.

In fact, the Uchiha clan could not be unaware of the surveillance, and sending more people would only further stimulate the already fragile nerves of the Uchiha clan.

But now, except for the Third Hokage himself, the attitudes of the other three advisors are inclined to violence, and he must make some concessions.

In fact, the Third Hokage himself did not believe that the Uchiha clan could easily compromise, but the current Uchiha power is too strong and it is not easy to solve. It is better to solve it through communication.

For him, as long as the village is peaceful and there are no problems, any method is fine.

What he said to Shisui and Itachi just now, on the one hand, he really didn't want to increase casualties, and on the other hand, it was to give them hope.

......

"Shisui-san, you said that the village will really..."

Shisui and Itachi had just gone downstairs, and Itachi had a gloomy face and asked softly.

"Don't worry Itachi, I will definitely protect the family and the village, and I will definitely find a suitable way to resolve the conflict between the family and the village, believe me. "

Shisui showed a gentle smile, and touched his eyes with his right hand inadvertently. His eyes showed strong confidence and determination.

Itachi nodded silently, and then sighed: "I hope so."

Looking at Itachi's expression, Shisui wanted to say something, but Itachi spoke first.

"Shisui-san, I'm going home first. Sasuke is still waiting for me to practice shuriken with him." Itachi turned and left expressionlessly.

"Itachi...we..." Shisui opened his mouth and wanted to call Itachi, but he didn't know what to say. He didn't know since when, his relationship with Itachi felt more and more estranged.

Shisui's empty answer could not make Itachi feel at ease. At this time, Itachi couldn't help but miss Qianhe in his heart. If he was there, maybe he could find a convincing method.

In the past three years, the contradiction between the family and the village has become increasingly acute, and Itachi has to become a double agent between the family and the village. He is really tired.

Sometimes when he wakes up from a sleep, he doesn't know which side he is on today.

Every Shisui The answer was to believe him, but the relationship between the village and the family did not improve at all. Itachi did not know when he had stopped believing in empty slogans.

The Sandai and other senior officials gave Itachi the feeling that their attitude was very ambiguous, and their tone was more like delaying time than looking for a way.

However, Shisui always believed in the words of the Sandai. Itachi did not know what to do to help the family and the village resolve the crisis.

Itachi changed out of his Anbu outfit and walked on the street, looking at the busy streets, pedestrians with happy smiles on their faces, children playing...

His mood became heavier, and his face became more and more dull.

"Itachi!"

At this time, a familiar voice sounded, and Itachi knew who it was even without looking back.

The gloomy expression on his face ended with the action of turning around, and a smile appeared on his face again.

"Quan, is the mission over? "

A slim girl in a light purple coat trotted in front of Itachi. She had beautiful long black hair and a beauty mole under her right eye. It was Izumi who had just returned from a mission. In more than three years, Izumi had become a Chunin.

Looking at Izumi's gentle and smiling eyes, Itachi's stiff fake smile gradually turned into a smile from the heart.

Pah!

Izumi extended her hands affectionately and gently patted Itachi's cheeks.

"Itachi, this is the right way to smile. Your previous smiles were all forced!

Even if you are in a bad mood, you can tell me.

I would rather see you with a gloomy face than a forced smile. "

Itachi blushed at Izumi's bold action. Although his relationship with Izumi is now basically public, this is the first time for such an intimate action.

Looking at Itachi's blushing face, Izumi was also surprised by her own bold action.

Since joining the Anbu, Itachi's smile has become less and less, and most of the time it is an unnatural fake smile. She is very worried about Itachi, but every time she asks Itachi about his worries, Itachi always smiles and shakes his head without saying anything.

Just came back from the mission, and seeing Itachi's lonely back, Izumi felt distressed.

After seeing Itachi's heartfelt smile, Izumi touched Itachi's face in excitement.

"Then... I'll go back first!"

Looking at Itachi's red cheeks, Izumi turned around shyly and ran away.

"Izumi, I will definitely protect you, and Sasuke, Dad and Mom, I will definitely..." Looking at Izumi's departing back, Itachi felt extremely heavy. He unconsciously clenched his fists tightly, and the huge sense of emptiness and powerlessness made him feel difficult to breathe.
