After dinner, Sasuke sat alone on the wooden promenade in the backyard with his chin in his hands and his mouth hanging out. No one knew what he was thinking.
The sky gradually darkened, and at about seven o 'clock, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from behind the house.
"Onii-san?"
Sasuke subconsciously got up and saw Itachi running towards him with bloodshot eyes.
"Onii-san, where have you been? Why didn't you come home for dinner? "
Sasuke asked curiously with his eyes wide open, "Did you quarrel with dad?"
Itachi didn't answer, he rushed over and hugged Sasuke, and whispered with a trembling voice, "Great, you're okay …"
"Onii-san, are you crying?"
Sasuke seemed to have discovered a new world, his eyes were wide open, this was the first time he saw his brother cry!
"No, on the way back, the sand blew into my eyes."
After confirming that his brother was okay, Itachi immediately recovered and put down Sasuke with a calm face, but in his mind, the scenes of the day emerged.
Waterstop -dage, he … why did he do this?
He could have just left, why did he deliberately stay and wait for me?
Since he stayed, why didn't he tell me the truth, but instead used Genjutsu to let me see him kill Sasuke with my own eyes?
Is this a loss of humanity or a loss of morality?
Itachi fell into deep doubts, he couldn't figure it out!
At the same time.
Naka Shrine.
The hazy moonlight slowly shrouded the shrine, and groups of Uchiha clansmen were gathering from all directions.
The elite ninjas of the police force were on guard to prevent the Anbu from approaching.
On the mountain further away, Danzō Shimura and two Root members were hiding in the dense forest, observing the movements of the shrine.
At seven o 'clock sharp, the elite police force also began to withdraw, and finally, only four or five ninjas were left to guard outside, the rest all entered the secret room of the shrine.
In the small secret room, there were already more than 200 people gathered, all of whom were Uchiha clansmen with Sharingan.
As for those who haven't awakened their Sharingan and ordinary people, they are obviously not qualified to participate in such a meeting.
Uchiha Tomiyama and his wife Uchiha Mikoto had rushed over after dinner. At this moment, the two of them were sitting on the ground facing over 200 clansmen with their eyes closed.
"Lord Patriarch, except for Itachi, the rest are all here." An old voice came from the first row.
Uchiha Tomiyama slowly opened his eyes. At this time, more than two hundred people in the secret chamber had already quieted down. They looked at their Lord Patriarch with bright eyes.
"Itachi went out of the village to chase Waterstop. He shouldn't be able to catch up with this meeting. Let's start first."
Uchiha Tomiyama explained faintly, then looked around and said, "Everyone, Waterstop has defected. What do you think about this matter?"
"Lord Patriarch, we must ask Yondaime-sama Naruto to give us an explanation!"
"Waterstop is the strongest Genjutsu Ninja of our Uchiha clan. If he makes a move, even Yellow Flash will definitely fall for his trick. How can he still want Waterstop, so this is simply framing!"
"The village leaders are planning to take action against us!"
"First Waterstop, then it's our turn!"
"We can't sit still and wait for death!"
But in addition to these extreme remarks, there are different voices in the crowd.
"What is the inside story of this matter, we have to find Waterstop to understand."
"Yondaime-sama has been in power for six or seven years. If he wanted to target us, why wait until now?"
"Yes, since Yondaime-sama came to power, the tense relationship between us and the village has gradually eased. Now we don't interfere with each other. Waterstop's matter, could it be a conspiracy of the elders?"
"Danzō Shimura, this guy has been targeting our Uchiha clan for a long time, the mastermind behind this must be him!"
"I think so too, Yondaime-sama wouldn't do such a thing!"
As they talked, the clansmen gradually divided into two factions. One faction advocated a tough confrontation, and the other faction advocated that Yondaime-sama was innocent.
The two factions couldn't convince each other, so they quarreled.
As they quarreled, the eyes of the two factions turned red, but fortunately, they didn't fight.
Looking at this scene, Uchiha Tomiyama was both relieved and secretly shocked.
Relieved because the situation hasn't completely gone out of control, and shocked because Po Shui Mun obviously didn't give any benefits to the Uchiha clan in the past few years, so why is his support in the hearts of the clansmen so high?
It's almost half of his own!
Uchiha Tomiyama sighed.
"Okay, don't quarrel."
Uchiha Tomiyama finally spoke, suppressing the quarrel between the two factions. "Everyone, I'm as shocked as you about Waterstop's defection, but according to the information I have, this matter is indeed Waterstop's fault, I hope you …"
"Patriarch!"
The old man who reminded Uchiha Tomiyama before suddenly interrupted him. "I heard that Waterstop tried to use Genjutsu to control Yondaime-sama, so he became a defector, but why would Waterstop do this? He's not the Patriarch, and he's not the Anbu Captain. Even if he can control Yondaime-sama, what benefit can he get? I think there's only one possibility! "
The old man stared at Uchiha Tomiyama with bright eyes. "It's the Patriarch, it's you who instructed Waterstop to do this, isn't it?"
Uchiha Tomiyama's face twitched. This old man is a hardliner, and has always advocated for a tough confrontation with the village's higher-ups, and took it as his responsibility to seize more power and voice in the village. This incident clearly gave him an excellent reason.
As soon as the old man spoke, the hardliners immediately clamored, and the momentum became more and more intense.
On the other hand, the hardliners looked at each other. If this is really the Patriarch's plan, then … it seems that they can only obey.
"Enough!!"
Uchiha Tomiyama coldly shouted, and then stared at the old man with malicious eyes. "Uchiha Mizuki! In fact, I'm the same as you, I've been wondering why Waterstop did this, and even I thought it was my instruction, but now, I finally understand! "
The old man Uchiha Mizuki was startled, and vaguely felt a trace of malice from the Patriarch.
"It's you, it's you who instructed Waterstop to use the Sharingan to control Yondaime-sama!"
Uchiha Tomiyama shouted decisively, "Whether Waterstop succeeds or fails, my Uchiha Clan will be kidnapped by you, tied to the cliff, tied to the opposite side of the village, until my clan is pushed to The Abyss! You want to kill everyone in our clan!! "
Uchiha Mizuki's turbid eyes widened, and looked at Uchiha Tomiyama in disbelief.
He felt that Uchiha Tomiyama was going to betray him!
According to his conjecture, Waterstop's attack on Yondaime-sama was undoubtedly the Patriarch's plan, and if the plan failed, Yondaime-sama Naruto would definitely not let them go. In this case, the whole clan should unite against a common enemy!
But now, the Patriarch wants to put the blame of Waterstop's attack on Yondaime-sama on his head!
In this way, as long as the Patriarch hands him over, he can protect himself.
Protect himself?
I know, the Patriarch is afraid, he's afraid of the yellow flash, he's afraid of death, so he would rather put the blame on me than break with the village!
What a coward!
I, Uchiha Mizuki, was wrong about you!!
"Uchiha Mizuki, who allowed you to give orders to Waterstop without me, who gave you the right to make decisions on behalf of the whole clan?"
Uchiha Tomiyama said, "For so many years, the relationship between the Uchiha Clan and the village has eased, and everyone can live comfortably in the village, I won't allow you to destroy it!"
"Uchiha Tomiyama, you bastard!!" Uchiha Mizusawa stood up from the ground, fuming with rage. He was about to expose the true face of Uchiha Tomiyama, but Uchiha Tomiyama did not give him the chance.
"After I told you the truth, you don't even have the respect you should have for your clan leader …"
Uchiha Tomiyama lowered his head and sighed, "I wanted to deal with this matter within the clan, but you … Well, I will hand you over to the Dark Unit and hand you over to the Fourth Generation to deal with."
"Uchiha Tomiyama, you cowardly bastard, I …" Uchiha Water Lustre was so aggrieved that his entire face turned purple. In all his years of life, this was the first time he had been wronged like this!!
"Take him down and send him to the Dark Unit!" Uchiha Tomiyama closed his eyes.
The clansmen below looked at each other.
Everyone here knows Uchiha Mizusawa's character, so they believe that Uchiha Mizusawa is capable of doing such a thing.
But …
Waterstop was the strongest Genjutsu ninja of the Uchiha Clan, and the most important thing was that Waterstop was only 18 years old. If he continued to grow, it was very likely that he would reach the height of Uchiha Madara!
And such a powerful clansman was sacrificed because of Uchiha Water Lustre, becoming a traitor ninja!
On what basis?
You are not the clan leader, why did you sacrifice Waterstop?
Even the hardliners were not calm. They were looking forward to Waterstop's growth and lead them to 'conquer the world', but now, everything was gone!
"Unforgivable!"
"This is too much!"
"Take him down!"
Uchiha Water Lustre looked at the angry clansmen and was shocked and angry at the same time. He tried to explain something loudly, but his words were drowned out by the crowd's voices!
In the original work, the Uchiha Clan suspected that Waterstop was killed by Itachi. After that, Itachi became the enemy of the entire clan. Even if he was the son of the clan leader, it was useless. This showed how important Waterstop was in the heart of the Uchiha Clan. Now that Waterstop was' sacrificed 'by Uchiha Water Lustre, how could the clansmen be willing to accept it?
Uchiha Water Lustre's face turned red and refuted, but in the end, he was tied up and sent to Naruto's building overnight.
"Everyone."
Uchiha Tomiyama opened his eyes again and said, "Things are clear now. All of this is the conspiracy of Uchiha Water Lustre. He not only used Waterstop, but also tried to kidnap the Uchiha Clan and the village. Think about your family, think about your parents, wives, husbands, and children. Because of this man's ambition, our family almost … I don't want to say anymore, everyone, this matter ends here, and no one is to mention it again in the future!"
"Clan leader, then, what about Waterstop?" A clansman asked carefully.
Uchiha Tomiyama said loudly, "I will discuss this matter with Yondaime-sama Naruto at an appropriate time, and try to cancel Waterstop's wanted and identity as a traitor. After all, Waterstop was only used, but before that, no one is to act excessively, understand?"
"Understood, clan leader!"
"Clan leader, everything is up to you!"
As soon as they heard that Waterstop had a chance to come back, the ninjas below calmed down a lot.
After the meeting ended, the clansmen in the secret room dispersed. After a while, only Uchiha Tomiyama and Mikoto were left.
Uchiha Tomiyama sighed and got up, "Let's go."
"Thank you for your hard work." Uchiha Mikoto smiled.
"I hope this matter will end here, sigh."
Uchiha Tomiyama smiled bitterly, "Let's go home."
"Un!"
