A few years ago, because of Waterstop's defection, the Uchiha clan moved from the most prosperous area to the most remote outskirts of the village. Therefore, every time Itachi Uchiha returned home, he had to pass through a section of the 'wild road'.
The 'wild road' was solid yellow soil, and it would become muddy when it rained. On the left side of the 'wild road' was a field. It was autumn now, and the paddy fields were full of bent rice ears. On the right side was a river with a small dam. Sasuke liked to practice his Grand Fireball here.
Maybe he was waiting for him to return home.
Itachi Uchiha felt warm in his heart, but when his eyes fell on 'Cold Wind' who was blocking the road, there was a bit of impatience and disdain.
"What do you want!" Itachi Uchiha asked in a low voice.
"Itachi, it's me." 'Cold Wind' took half a step forward, his eyes full of eagerness and anticipation!
Itachi Uchiha frowned. 'So it's a trap again!
Do you think I'll fall for it again?
Don't underestimate the Uchiha clan! '
"I don't have time to play this kind of boring game with you," Itachi Uchiha said expressionlessly.
He was really angry. Not only did Cold Wind not help him find out the truth about Waterstop's defection, but now he was actually … humiliating him again and again!
It was too much!
But after all, they were both Wood Leaf ninjas and members of the Sixth Squad. Even if they didn't get along, at least they had to give each other some face, so Itachi Uchiha didn't get angry.
But what happened next was unacceptable to Itachi Uchiha.
Bang!
In the light smoke, the 'Cold Wind' in front of him suddenly turned into Waterstop.
"Itachi, it's me!" Waterstop squinted at Itachi Uchiha excitedly. His eyesight had deteriorated a lot in the past few years, and he was used to squinting at people.
"Moonlight Cold Wind!"
Itachi Uchiha gritted his teeth, the veins around his temples bulging. "Don't go too far!!"
Waterstop was startled, and then he smiled bitterly. "Cold Wind, it's me. I'm back. Because of Consultant Danzō's rebellion, I can only appear as Cold Wind's shadow clone, I …"
"Enough, I don't want to hear this!"
Uchiha Itachi, who had learned his lesson, showed a 'I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen' attitude, and his figure flashed away.
…
Back home, Sasuke was still at school. Only Uchiha Fugaku was at home. He was standing on the wooden promenade in the backyard, quietly watching the small courtyard running water. No one knew what he was thinking.
"Father-sama." Uchiha Itachi saluted him and then turned to return to the bedroom.
"Itachi."
Uchiha Tomiyama said without looking back. "Did the operation of the Anbu go smoothly today?"
Itachi Uchiha's footsteps paused, and he replied stiffly. "I'm sorry, I can't disclose the Anbu's business to outsiders."
"Am I also an outsider?" Uchiha Tomiyama turned around, his eyes were a little sad.
Of his two sons, he valued Itachi Uchiha the most!
Sasuke was eight years old this year, and he was still in the ninja school. When Sasuke was his age, he had already graduated from the ninja school and successfully opened his Sharingan. He was a real genius!
But …
"Father, for the Anbu, of course, you're an outsider." Itachi Uchiha said politely.
Uchiha Tomiyama sighed. Since Waterstop's' betrayal ', his son began to slowly distance away from him. Although he was still respectful, but that kind of estrangement made him very uncomfortable.
But as a father, Uchiha Tomiyama was proud.
"Even if you don't say it, I know."
Uchiha Tomiyama slowly opened his mouth, revealing a sweet smile as if everything was under his control. "Danzō has been caught."
Itachi Uchiha's pupils shrank: How did father know?
When Itachi Uchiha left the Anbu headquarters building, he happened to see two Anbu teams secretly escorting Danzō, so this information was impossible for outsiders to know?
Unless … when the Anbu team captured Danzō, father was there!
Itachi Uchiha instantly imagined the drama of Uchiha Tomiyama colluding with Danzō to rebel. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. "Father, aren't you afraid of implicating Sasuke and mother?"
"???" Uchiha Tomiyama's square face showed a puzzled expression.
"Danzō has been caught in the Anbu building. Father, please disassociate yourself from all relations with him as soon as possible!" Itachi Uchiha said stiffly.
"Hahaha …"
Uchiha Tomiyama laughed and said, "So you thought I would cooperate with Danzō."
"Father, you didn't?" Itachi Uchiha didn't believe it.
"Indeed."
Uchiha Tomiyama recalled the scene on the Naruto Crag just now, and his whole body instantly glowed, as if he had a second spring. The corner of his mouth overflowed with a happy smile that he shouldn't show in front of his son. He said to himself, "I did cooperate with Danzō, that's right, this way I can appreciate Danzō's despair, it's really exciting!"
Itachi Uchiha's face changed slightly. "Father, you're playing with fire. If Naruto -sama knows that you can cooperate with Danzō …"
"Of course Yondaime knows!"
Uchiha Tomiyama stopped smiling and resumed his calm expression. "Because all of this is his plan!"
Plan?
Itachi Uchiha was stunned. "This …"
How is this possible?
It must be known that the reason Waterstop defected was to sneak attack Yondaime Naruto, but everyone secretly believed that it was Uchiha Tomiyama who instructed Waterstop to do so. Even Itachi Uchiha suspected that this might be the truth he was looking for countless times.
But if this is the truth, how can Uchiha Tomiyama and Yondaime Naruto cooperate?
Looking at his son's puzzled face, Uchiha Tomiyama seemed to have completely let go of himself. Anyway, he has already confessed to Danzō, so it doesn't make a difference to add one more.
But as a father, he needs to give himself and his son a reasonable reason, so he muttered, "Itachi, you can strictly adhere to the Anbu mission in front of me, it proves that you have grown into an excellent ninja. In that case, it's time to tell you the truth. "
"The truth?"
Itachi Uchiha stared at him. "The truth father said is …"
"It's the truth you have been investigating all these years about Waterstop's defection." Uchiha Tomiyama said.
Itachi Uchiha's pupils shrank, for fear of hearing something like "I instructed Waterstop to sneak attack Yondaime Naruto".
"Waterstop's defection was instructed by Yondaime-sama."
Uchiha Tomiyama looked deeply at his son and asked, "Do you … understand?"
Itachi Uchiha's delicate body trembled.
Yondaime-sama instructed?
So Waterstop didn't attack Yondaime Naruto, his defection was … a mission?
And it must be the most confidential mission of the Anbu, which must not be disclosed to anyone … so Moonlight Cold Wind knew the truth and didn't tell him …
So, so, that's why father cooperated with Yondaime Naruto, because Waterstop's defection didn't exist between them!
There was too much information in this sentence. By the time Itachi Uchiha understood many things and raised his head, Uchiha Tomiyama had already drifted away.
Father …
Itachi Uchiha recalled how he had treated Uchiha Tomiyama so coldly in the past few years, and he suddenly felt guilty!
(? _?)
After three seconds of guilt, Itachi Uchiha suddenly remembered something.
If Waterstop's defection was fake, then he absolutely couldn't let Danzō know that he had returned to the village!
Then, the person who had stopped him just now might really have been Waterstop's real body!!
Itachi Uchiha couldn't wait to go back and confirm this, but the moment he moved, he couldn't help but recall the 'idiot' incident from last time, and for a moment, he didn't know whether to advance or retreat.
