When Uchiha Fugao came to the Great Elder's house, it was getting deeper in the middle of the night. The dim candlelight in the room was like a soybean, blurring out an old face full of tiredness.

"Great Elder." When he came to the old man, Uchiha Tokugao saluted respectfully.

"Yes." The elder nodded as he yawned, raised his heavy eyelids and looked at Uchiha Fugao, and asked in a low voice: "It's very uneasy in the clan. What happened to Fugao?"

Uchiha Fugaki answered slowly and truthfully when he heard this.

Although he knew that the other party must have known everything, he could only waste his words and talk about it in detail, and in the end, he naturally talked about the fact that the root ninja took away the corpse of the rioter.

After telling the matter, the room of only two people was silent for a moment, and then it was broken by the praise of the Great Elder.

"You did a good job, Fugao." The elder smiled and said, "Although the village is indeed in a downturn now, it is still not something that our tribe without any preparation can compete with. Instead of tearing the village apart, it is the best choice to find another opportunity."

Void and Snake? Find another opportunity? No matter how you hear this word, it doesn’t seem to be discussing the village that ninjas should protect, but rather it seems to be discussing enemies who cannot resolve their resentment in any case.

For Uchiha, the top leaders of Konoha Village are indeed like enemies. After the second generation Naruto came to power, as one of the families that jointly established Konoha, they not only did not enjoy the glory they deserved, but were instead gradually squeezed to the edge of the village. The so-called Konoha security forces are like shackles and even cages, which made Uchiha completely lose these people's hopes while performing their duties to the people in the village, and then cut off the possibility of climbing to Konoha Village to grasp the power class.

These ordinary Uchiha tribe members may not be able to see clearly, but they all know the top figures of Uchiha.

It was just because of Naruto's order, although I had known that it was a poison wrapped in sugar, I had no other choice and could only swallow one of my mouth.

This is Uchiha's concession and compromise. When making this decision, Uchiha hoped that the top leaders of the village would feel this kindness, but unfortunately they just made a mistake in the end.

So now it’s not that Uchiha has the desire to make trouble, Uchiha just has no choice. Between either continuing to be suppressed and forced by the village senior management until it is completely satisfied, or rising up to resist and taking back everything he should have obtained with his strength, the arrogant Uchiha will only choose the latter.

This concept obviously does not exist only between one and two Uchiha, and the words of the Great Elder are clearly manifested. This is a mainstream idea within the Uchiha clan.

But at the center of this kind of thought, Uchiha Fugao clenched his fists secretly, but he still nodded calmly on the surface and expressed respect in front of the Great Elder.

But at the same time, he was thinking about another thing in his mind, one thing that concerns the fate of the Uchiha clan: Can Uchiha become the ultimate winner when confronting the village?

Different questions have always had different answers in the hearts of different people. At this moment, Uchiha Fugaku was sure that his answer was completely opposite to the answers of most of the Uchiha clan.

But even so, what can he do?

Between the contradictory two, his only choice is the former.

After leaving the eldest elder's home, Uchiha Fugao walked towards the home with a slightly tired face.

When he saw the dim light in front of his house, he realized that the previous explosion had collapsed the side wall of the yard, and a young man was cleaning up there.

Seeing the boy, Uchiha Fugao showed a very shallow smile on his tired face. He always looked serious and tense like him, and he would only show such an expression when he was so tired that he could not control his face.

As if he felt the gaze, the boy lowered the stones from the wall and looked at it according to his feelings.

"Father?" Uchiha Itachi was stunned for a moment, then walked over and said, "You are back."

"Yes." Uchiha Tokugaki calmed his expression and patted his eldest son's arm and said, "Itachi, you're doing a good job, I heard Shimizu say it."

"I am my brother, it is my responsibility to protect Sasuke." A smile appeared on the corner of Uchiha Itachi's mouth.

"Is Sasuke okay?" Uchiha Fugao nodded and asked.

"I just got so confused that I should have a good dream." Uchiha Itachi said with a smile, "Does my father want to see him?"

"Since you're fine, you don't have to go and see it." Uchiha Tokugaki, who was worried in his eyes, shook his head and said when he heard this.

Uchiha Itachi glanced at his father who was emitting a tired aura beside him, and just responded without saying anything more.

The father and son walked into the yard, and the candlelight in the room shone through the doors and windows, placing a layer of warm light on the blooming chrysanthemums in the yard. If it weren't for the broken wall beside it, it would be quite warm.

"Carry it out tomorrow, Itachi." Uchiha Fugao stood in front of the chrysanthemum, reached out to fiddle with the petals, and called out to the eldest son who was walking towards the broken wall, "Come here to chat with me."

Uchiha Itachi raised his eyebrows in confusion, then nodded and said, "Yes, father."

Standing next to Uchiha Fugaku, Itachi subconsciously looked at the hand that was fiddling with chrysanthemum. The casual movement seemed to reflect his father's mood full of irritability.

"I heard you were attracted to Anbu, right?" Uchiha Fugao asked in a plain tone.

"Have you heard about it too?" Uchiha Itachi was stunned for a moment and said in surprise.

"Yes." Uchiha Fugao nodded, and then seemed to say to Itachi again and again: "Maybe you will become the hope of the family, Itachi."

Uchiha Itachi sensitively sensed the obscure meaning of his father's words, but he could not think of more from this. Even father and son, he often could not fully understand his father's thoughts.

Of course, the same is true in the opposite direction.

For example, when he was still young, his father took him to witness the cruelty of war with his own eyes, or when he achieved achievements and was called a genius of Uchiha, he finally got only one sentence from his father, "I deserve to be my son." As for his real idea, he has never been understood by his father.

The father and son fell silent, thinking about other things and thinking about it.

At this time, the dark clouds in the night sky began to slowly fade away, and the energy gathered in the clouds did not reach the point where they had to be released. Although the star light behind the hidden dark clouds was still a little dim, it could already fall down, bringing a different scenery to Konoha Village.

A night of chaos came to an end in the stars.
