Chapter 18
"You... Oh, forget it, go see Sasuke, you haven't been with him much lately." Looking at Uchiha Itachi who was stubborn, Fugaku couldn't think of any effective solution for a while. After all, his son has grown up and has his own ideas.
""Yes, father." Now the entire Uchiha clan is full of rumors of a coup, and the Anbu and the Root have already set up heavy surveillance on the Uchiha clan. The two are just one spark away from blowing up the entire Konoha.
No, this kind of thing must not happen, even for Sasuke, I can't let the Sandaime fight alone, I must do something for Konoha.
"Brother, let's go practice shuriken. You've refused many times." Uchiha Sasuke, who had been waiting outside the door, looked at his brother expectantly, but he was already prepared to be rejected.
""Okay, I'll accompany Sasuke today. Come on up, I'll carry you to the training ground." Looking at the little brother in front of him, Uchiha Itachi changed his gloomy face when facing Fugaku, and finally showed a smile on his rigid face.
"Huh? Really? Great, let's go now."
Hugging Itachi's neck, Uchiha Sasuke's face turned from expectation to joy.
""Sasuke, do you like training so much? Training is very hard. At Sasuke's age, it's important for him to make more friends in the ninja school." Itachi, carrying Sasuke on his back, walked leisurely towards the clan's training ground.
"No, they all say that my brother is the number one genius of the Uchiha clan, and my father has always been proud of my brother. I want to be like my brother, and I want to be the pride of my father. As for friends... humph, that annoying guy is not my friend."Speaking of friends Uchiha Sasuke suddenly popped up the idiot who always wanted to find faults and challenge him.
"Is that so? It seems that I was overthinking. Our little Sasuke has already made friends."A genius of the Uchiha clan? Another clan. Has Sasuke also been affected? It seems that things can't be delayed any longer. We must make a decision. What happened to the Sarutobi clan before may not happen to the Uchiha clan. However, Sasuke is still young. I must protect little Sasuke.
"Brother, how did you become so strong? I actually trained secretly, but I didn't improve much. Last time, Father taught me the Great Fireball Technique, and I spent a long time learning it. But Father said that you learned it very easily. Is there any trick?"
As Father's son, there is no reason why I can't do what my brother can do. There must be some shortcut that I don't know about.
"Sasuke, you have to learn to live for yourself and don't worry too much about being your father's pride."Leave all crises to yourself to solve, Sasuke is responsible for living a good life with the name of Uchiha.
"But...but, I don't want to disappoint my father." Sasuke tightened his arms around his neck, buried his head in Itachi's shoulder and whispered back
"Father is not always right, Sasuke, you will know it later."
…………
Late at night, Hokage Building
"Itachi, have you thought it through? Once this thing starts, there is no turning back."I didn't expect that Itachi could really be so ruthless. It seems that my brainwashing efforts over the years have not been in vain.
"Everything is for Konoha, please leave it to me, Sandaime-sama, but I have one request, to ensure that my brother Sasuke can live safely."At this point, Uchiha Itachi's Mangekyō Sharingan stared at Danzo beside him without disguising. The character of Sandaime-sama can be guaranteed, but the character of the elder Danzo of Konoha's Anshi Village in front of him is quite bad. Brother Shisui died at his hands.
"Don't worry, Itachi. Sasuke is still a child after all. I will pay special attention to his safety. Danzo has been punished for Shisui's incident. Now I have dismembered his power in the Root. From now on, all matters in the Root will be managed by the two elders, Koharu and En, together with him. You can rest assured."
Looking at Uchiha Itachi's undisguised expression, Sarutobi Hiruzen knew very well what he was worried about.
"Thank you very much, Sandaime-sama. I will leave Sasuke in your care from now on."Although the punishment for Danzo was not as severe as expected, it was at least an explanation to Brother Shisui. The Sandaime-sama must have his own difficulties. After all, the Uchiha clan's affairs have made him exhausted. It is obviously a bit beyond his ability to deal with the Root. It is really not easy to have such a punishment.
"Humph, I won't do anything to a child. Uchiha Itachi, I agree with your proposal. You are worthy of being chosen by Hiruzen. I am ashamed of myself in terms of the Will of Fire. But I'm afraid you can't handle the Uchiha clan alone, right? It's better to let my roots assist you."
To annihilate the Uchiha clan, how many Sharingan will you gain? Hahahahaha, compared to this, the Kotoamatsukami Mangekyō taken away by Hiruzen doesn't seem to be a big deal. As long as you get the Sharingan of the entire Uchiha clan, can't you realize Izanami's freedom in a minute?
"this……"
This guy Danzo is obviously planning to take over his family's Sharingan
"Itachi, everything is for Konoha. The Uchiha clan members cannot shine for Konoha, but the bloodline they left behind can continue to protect Konoha and Sasuke. Go with Danzo. Anyway, the Root is no longer controlled by him alone."Seeing Itachi
's hesitation, Sarutobi Hiruzen kindly prepared himself psychologically. The Uchiha clan can die, but the Sharingan must stay. This is the property that Konoha has nurtured for many years.
"Yes, Sandaime-sama, but that guy named Uchiha Madara has found���I'm afraid he might take action on the day of genocide."
"Is that so? He invited you to join that so-called organization before, what do you think?"
Uchiha Itachi had already revealed the existence of the masked man to the Sandaime and others, and the Sandaime and others had no way to deal with the so-called Madara, after all, the time-space ninjutsu was too shameless.
"I would have refused before, but now that the plan to exterminate the clan has been set, there will be no place for me in Konoha. I will take this opportunity to join his so-called organization and pass on their information to Konoha as an undercover agent."
Although there is the guarantee of the Sandaime, Danzo's character is really not trustworthy. Joining the Akatsuki organization is also a threat. As long as Danzo still cares about Konoha, he dare not attack Sasuke, otherwise he will push himself to the Akatsuki organization and Uchiha Madara!
