Killing his way through the ninja world, starting from being adopted by the second generation!

Don't argue with fools too much, or you'll be the fool.

Uchiha Itachi: "..."

Does he not want to leave?

If the two people in front of him hadn't suddenly come to visit his father, he would have taken Sasuke to the training ground to practice shuriken long ago.

Although her mother was at home, she couldn't be involved in this kind of thing.

After all, Itachi Uchiha had never seen the two people in front of him before, and he didn't know that his father had such friends.

If it weren't for their calm and composed demeanor, he would have suspected that the two were swindlers.

Whether it's true or false, we'll know when Father comes back.

"elder brother!"

Sasuke Uchiha looked pleadingly at Itachi Uchiha.

He felt that what Lianye said made sense, and that his brother could accompany him to practice shuriken.

Anyway, my father will be home soon.

My brother finally agreed to stay with me, so I can't let this cause any problems!

"Sasuke, be good." Itachi Uchiha said affectionately, "When Father comes back, I'll take you to the training ground."

"Oh."

Uchiha Sasuke pouted reluctantly, staring resentfully at Renya and Danzo.

It's all those two's fault! They wasted the time my brother spent practicing with me!

Ignoring Sasuke's resentful gaze, Renye calmly sipped her tea.

He was just Erzhuzi when he was a child; he had no impact on him whatsoever.

If he hadn't been curious about why the Uchiha clan hadn't been wiped out, he wouldn't have bothered coming to the Uchiha clan to gather information.

I came here purely out of curiosity.

Sasuke Uchiha became even angrier when he realized that Renya was ignoring him.

This guy is absolutely despicable!

"Please have some fruit, gentlemen."

Mikoto Uchiha brought out some washed fruit from the kitchen, then turned and left the living room.

"Thank you."

Lian Ye smiled and picked up an apple to take a bite, seemingly treating the place as her own home.

Seeing this, Shimura Danzo was speechless, but he didn't say anything.

It's normal for a fool to act strangely.

He can't just not let an idiot eat an apple, can he?

After overhearing the conversation of three Uchiha clan members, Danzo Shimura realized that he seemed to have misunderstood his good brother all these years.

I used to think that Lianye's poor academic performance was simply because she wasn't interested in studying.

I never thought of him as a fool.

But now it seems that Lian Ye's intelligence does have some flaws.

Sometimes your best buddy seems really smart, and other times he seems kind of silly...

To put it bluntly, he's normal at times, but sometimes he's just an idiot.

Sometimes silly, sometimes not.

There's a feeling of wanting to be shrewd and calculating, but ultimately failing to understand anything.

My best friend, with whom I've spent so many years, turns out to be an idiot.

To be honest, Danzo felt quite uncomfortable about it.

For example, right now, all my good buddies do after sneaking in is drink tea and eat fruit.

Itachi Uchiha on the other side is definitely thinking about their intentions...

But since his best friend said nothing, even if Itachi was very smart, he couldn't figure it out.

It's easy to get along with smart people, but it's a different story when it comes to fools.

Just as Danzo had thought, Itachi Uchiha was indeed pondering why the two of them were looking for their father.

Logically speaking, my father shouldn't have many friends!

In fact, not only his father, but the entire Uchiha clan had few friends.

After all, given the Uchiha clan's reputation in the village, they had almost no friends other than their comrades-in-arms.

The Uchiha have only reconciled with the village; this doesn't mean their reputation has improved.

The villagers of Konoha still dared not approach the Uchiha.

Just as Itachi Uchiha was pondering the reason, Fugaku Uchiha returned home.

When he saw Lianye munching on an apple, his brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.

Who are these two guys?

Why would it appear at home?

Besides, the guy eating the apple was way too overly familiar.

If you didn't know better, you'd think this was his home.

"Father, you are back!"

Itachi Uchiha and Sasuke Uchiha immediately stood up and greeted him respectfully.

Fugaku Uchiha nodded slightly, his gaze falling once more on Renya and Danzo, and said in a deep voice.

"Itachi, are they your friends?"

Uchiha Itachi: "???"

What's going on? Aren't they my father's friends?

He glanced at the two of them instinctively and realized he had been tricked.

“Father, I don’t know them.” Itachi Uchiha regained his composure. “They said they were your friends, so I let them in to wait for your return.”

In reality, Itachi had no intention of letting anyone in; it was just that some shameless guy walked in on his own.

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

Fugaku Uchiha's voice turned icy, and the temperature around him seemed to drop several degrees.

How dare anyone cause trouble for the Uchiha clan leader! That person must be tired of living!

Seeing his father's angry expression, Sasuke Uchiha instinctively hid behind Itachi.

These two have offended the father; they're absolutely doomed!

"Uchiha Fugaku, I have something to ask you."

Despite the oppressive aura emanating from Fugaku Uchiha, Renya remained calm on the surface.

He came here only to gather information and had no intention of offending the Uchiha.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be sitting here calmly waiting.

Fugaku Uchiha raised an eyebrow, surprised that the two people in front of him did not react at all to his pressure.

They all seem to be formidable experts!

He withdrew the pressure of his chakra, and his tone softened slightly.

"Gentlemen, is there anything you'd like to ask me?"

As he spoke, he gestured with his eyes for Itachi and Sasuke to leave.

"Wait, Itachi Uchiha, stay here."

Renya stopped Uchiha Itachi, who was about to leave.

Fugaku Uchiha looked displeased upon seeing this, but said nothing.

He wanted to see what this guy really wanted to ask!

When Sasuke Uchiha realized that he was the only one who had left, his expression became even more aggrieved.

Why did this guy only let me leave?

That's absolutely outrageous!

"Tell me, what do you want to ask?" Fugaku Uchiha looked at Renya.

If it's just some trivial question, he definitely won't let the other party off easily!

"Isn't the Uchiha clan planning a coup?"

Lianye slowly put down her teacup and looked up to meet Uchiha Fugaku's gaze.

Why did you stop?

Chapter 694 A Fool's Focus Is Always Different

Fugaku Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha: "..."

Does this guy even know what he's saying?!

The Uchiha clan and the village reached a reconciliation, which seemed to disappoint the other side.

"What do you mean!"

Fugaku Uchiha slammed his fist on the table in anger, unleashing the chakra he had previously suppressed.

This guy in front of me is definitely here to cause trouble!

The Uchiha clan and the village had finally reached a reconciliation, but someone immediately started causing trouble.

It seems the village's higher-ups don't trust the Uchiha.

In his view, the two people in front of him were probably sent by the Third Hokage to test him.

Danzo Shimura: "..."

He knew his good friend wasn't very smart and couldn't understand even a simple question.

To avoid Lian Ye being unable to speak, which could lead to a complete explosion of conflict.

He had no choice but to explain.

“Clan Chief Uchiha, I think you’ve misunderstood,” Danzo Shimura said. “What my brother meant was the reason why the Uchiha and the village reached a reconciliation.”

The Uchiha clan is attempting a coup, and the Hokage cannot stand idly by.

The two sides had almost reached a point of no return, so it shouldn't be so easy for them to reach a reconciliation.

Something must have happened...

Upon hearing this, Fugaku Uchiha's eyes flickered, and Itachi Uchiha subconsciously clenched his hands resting on his knees.

They all thought of the man who had appeared that night.

"There's no particular reason," Fugaku Uchiha said calmly. "The Uchiha clan and the village didn't want things to escalate to the point of no return, so I approached the Third Hokage and reached a settlement with him."

Renya and Danzo knew that Fugaku was lying.

If he truly possessed such a mind, then the Third Hokage truly had such magnanimity.

If they had traveled to the previous timelines, the Uchiha clan wouldn't have been wiped out.

"Uchiha Fugaku, you're not being honest!"

Lianye activated her three-tomoe Sharingan and said with a hint of helplessness.

"Please tell me what happened, since I'm also a member of the Uchiha clan."

Fugaku Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha stared at the pair of three-tomoe Sharingan, a fleeting look of shock on their faces.
