Chapter 219: Chapter 221
"Have you replaced his eyes?"
After returning to the residence, Uchiha Fugaku asked Uchiha Mikoto.
"It has been changed for him."
Uchiha Mikoto nodded with a sad look on her face.
Itachi actually betrayed the Uchiha family and became the accomplice of the Third Hokage, which was a huge blow to her.
"You don't blame me for depriving Itachi of his Mangekyō Sharingan, do you?"
Uchiha Fugaku asked.
"I don't blame you. You've been tolerant enough towards Itachi. It's the kid who did something wrong."
Uchiha Mikoto shook her head.
Another traitor, Uchiha Shisui, had been executed by her husband according to clan rules.
Itachi, who was also a traitor, was not executed but was merely deprived of his Mangekyō Sharingan, which was already enough tolerance.
If the husband does nothing, it will cause criticism from the tribe members.
"I'm glad you understand."
Uchiha Fugaku nodded.
"Do you think this child will always be so unrepentant?"
Uchiha Mikoto asked worriedly.
"Don't worry too much. He is still young. He must have been bewitched by the Third Hokage. When he is older, he should be able to figure it out."
Uchiha Fugaku comforted.
"I hope so."
Uchiha Mikoto sighed.
When he arrived at the backyard, Uchiha Fugaku found Sasuke standing in a daze in the backyard.
Obviously, what happened today had a great impact on him.
It is because of such a great shock that the Sharingan was awakened.
He stepped forward and called out.
"Sasuke."
As a future Six Paths-level fighter, Uchiha Sasuke is his future number one fighter. He must sort out his emotions and not let the other party harbor hatred towards him, which would lead to a breakdown in the relationship.
"Father."
Sasuke turned around, a sad look on his face.
"Hmm, thinking about Itachi?"
Uchiha Fugaku asked in a gentle voice.
"Father, how could my brother become like this?"
Sasuke asked confused.
He couldn't understand why his brother, who was usually gentle to him and kind to the tribe members, would betray the family.
Uchiha Fugaku was silent for a while before speaking.
"Because he was bewitched by the Third Hokage."
"Brother was bewitched by the Third Hokage. Was he deceived by the Third Hokage?"
Sasuke asked, tilting his head.
"Yes, he was deceived by the Third Hokage."
"When I asked him to join the Anbu, I wanted him to gain experience in the Anbu environment. Now it seems that joining the Anbu was a mistake."
Uchiha Fugaku said.
"The Third Hokage is so abominable."
Sasuke said with a puffy face.
"This man is not only hateful but also sinister. Be careful when you meet him next time and don't believe anything he says."
Uchiha Fugaku warned sternly.
"Um."
Sasuke nodded quickly.
After confirming that his treatment of Itachi did not arouse Sasuke's hatred, Uchiha Fugaku came to the study.
He wrote a letter and had one of the mansion's guards deliver it to the Hokage Building and give it to the Third Hokage.
…
In the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage sat at his desk, smoking a pipe in a good mood.
For the first time in days, he was in a good mood.
Although they lost Uchiha Shisui, they now have a more promising Uchiha Itachi.
It's not a loss, but a profit.
Moreover, using Uchiha Itachi to deal with Uchiha Fugaku gave him an inexplicable sense of pleasure.
"Hokage-sama, Clan Leader Fugaku sent a letter!"
An Anbu ninja knocked on the door and pushed it open after getting permission, handing over a letter with both hands.
"Letter?"
The Third Hokage was puzzled and reached out to take the envelope, taking out the letter and unfolding it to read.
Soon, his face turned gloomy.
Uchiha Fugaku actually wanted Uchiha Itachi to quit the Anbu.
Absolutely not, we must not let Uchiha Itachi quit the Anbu! Uchiha Itachi has already awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan and is now the most powerful fighter in the Anbu after Uchiha Shisui.
If Uchiha Itachi withdrew from the Anbu, the Anbu would immediately lose this powerful fighting force.
It would probably be difficult to use Uchiha Itachi to deal with Uchiha Fugaku.
Moreover, Uchiha Itachi is still young, and he is worried that after Uchiha Itachi lacks contact, his thinking will change under the influence of the Uchiha clan.
"Why do you suddenly want Uchiha Itachi to quit the Anbu?"
He was confused and wondered why Uchiha Fugaku suddenly wanted Uchiha Itachi to quit the Anbu.
"Is it because of Uchiha Shisui, or has Uchiha Fugaku discovered the identity of Uchiha Itachi's spy?"
Uchiha Shisui, who joined the Anbu, betrayed the Uchiha clan. Uchiha Fugaku may have been wary of this and recalled the remaining clan member in the Anbu.
But there is another possibility, that is, Uchiha Itachi's identity as an accomplice has been exposed and he has been imprisoned.
Uchiha Fugaku naturally would not allow the traitor Uchiha Itachi to continue staying in the Anbu, so he made Uchiha Itachi withdraw from the Anbu.
But no matter what the reason is, Uchiha Itachi must be stopped from leaving the Anbu.
Thinking of this, he gave instructions to the Anbu ninja guarding outside the door.
"Gather all the Anbu ninjas who don't have any missions, and also select some of the Anbu ninjas on guard, and go with me to the Uchiha Clan."
Soon, a large number of Anbu ninjas were summoned, numbering more than a hundred.
With these one hundred people, the Third Hokage left the Hokage Building and headed towards the direction of the Uchiha Clan.
As the Kage of a village, the Third Hokage was extremely popular in Konoha.
Now that he is traveling with so many Anbu ninjas, he is even more eye-catching.
The families in the village immediately learned the news and sent their clansmen to follow the movements of the Third Hokage and his entourage, trying to find out what the Third Hokage was planning to do.
Under their attention, the Third Hokage and his party came to the Uchiha clan located on the edge of the village.
"It's targeting the Uchiha clan."
"This is going to be a big thing!"
"Hurry, go back and report to the family!"
Seeing this, the people sent by various families to pay attention were all shocked.
The relationship between the Uchiha family and the Third Hokage's line is extremely bad, and there have even been several conflicts in recent times.
Now, the Third Hokage has come to the Uchiha family with so many Anbu ninjas, it is definitely not a simple visit.
They had a feeling that something big was about to happen and that there might be a huge conflict between the Third Hokage and the Uchiha Clan.
So they told their companions to go back and report the news.
"As expected!"
The Uchiha clan already knew about the Third Hokage and his party before they arrived at the Uchiha clan.
In the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Fugaku glanced at the clan members who had gathered in advance after anticipating the arrival of the Third Hokage, and said.
"Let's go, let's go meet the Third Hokage!"
The group stood up and walked towards the Uchiha clan entrance.
When they reached the entrance of the Uchiha clan, they happened to meet the Third Hokage and his group who had arrived.
"Hokage-sama, how come you have time to come to the Uchiha clan?"
Uchiha Fugaku asked with a wry smile.
"Chief Fugaku, I am here to discuss Uchiha Itachi's withdrawal from the Anbu."
Although the Third Hokage was thin, he looked at Uchiha Fugaku with great imposingness.
"I don't agree with Uchiha Itachi's withdrawal from the Anbu."
