Uchiha's Counterattack

The hidden space built under the temple is the secret gathering place of the Uchiha clan. Through the secret entrance hidden under the tatami, you can reach the first level of the gathering by going down about two steps.

Secret club?

Having said that, this is no longer a secret among the Uchiha people. After all, the place where they gather for every gathering is more like a place for the whole clan to hold meetings than a confidential place.

Uchiha Fugaku was leading the way with an expressionless face. There was no way to describe his mood. He could only say that from the back, he seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. His mental vigor had been lost, giving people a feeling of dead silence.

feel.

Xia Nan carried the unconscious Itachi and followed Fugaku quietly. He observed the surrounding environment as he walked, but soon discovered that this was just an ordinary underground space, and there seemed to be nothing worth paying special attention to.

There was just a strange stone in this space. Xia Nan felt a strange sensation on that stone, which made him subconsciously open his Sharingan and couldn't help but focus his energy and attention on it.

on a stone.

The stone is ordinary, but there are strange words engraved on the stone. It is almost impossible to understand the meaning of the water like tadpole writing. Even if Xia Nan looks at it carefully, he can't understand it at all. After all, he himself doesn't understand this.

The world's written language is almost unknown.

It is true that the blood of the body is left over from the previous life, but unfortunately, it only has physical ability, but does not have the knowledge of the writing system that this world should have.

"Come here."

At the end of the corridor, Fugaku opened the door of a secret room with a gentle push. After the door opened, Fugaku just turned around to remind him, and then walked in first without looking back.

After arriving in the room, I found that it was a death cell sealed by walls and thick soil. The only exit was the small door I just walked in from.

"This feeling is..."

There was a strange force all around that was suppressing the operation of chakra. Although Xia Nan did not rely on the supply of chakra, it also gave him an uncomfortable feeling.

Take a closer look at the surrounding walls. Are they densely covered with water fonts and patterns with unknown meanings - sealing techniques? Xia Nan guessed but was not completely sure. After all, he was very clear about the future history of ninjas, but for their

But I don't know anything about culture.

Just based on the current feeling, Xia Nan made a judgment.

"This is the room used to imprison Uchiha people who committed serious crimes in the past. In addition, there is a special prison on the second underground floor."

Fugaku guided Xia Nan and asked him to place the Itachi on his shoulders in the middle of the room, in a formation with the capital "Feng" font.

"Stand back."

Xia Nan heard the instructions and took a few steps back.

Fugaku walked up to Itachi, his scarlet eyes shining slightly in the dark shadow. After standing like this for a moment, Fugaku trembled his lips and exhaled deeply, his raised fingers trembling slightly.

.

The next moment, Fugaku suddenly became ferocious, and shouted with a low roar full of hatred and bitterness: "——Qiongqiong Pestle Lord·Death Body Lock Seal!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fugaku hit Itachi hard on the abdomen.

Itachi's whole body shook unnaturally from the slap. This was obviously an abnormal reaction for someone who had already passed out. Therefore, after seeing this scene, Xia Nan knew that Itachi might have woken up early.

Yes, he just pretended to be unconscious.

As for Fugaku, he must have noticed this, but seeing that his cold expression showed no sign of wavering at all, Xia Nan consciously shut up and acted like he didn't see anything.

Puff puff! Five black chains emerged from Itachi's body and turned into strong iron chains to bind his hands and feet.

"This is the death lock seal, which can block nerve signals and chakra reactions in the human body. This seal can only be unlocked by me who controls Qiongqiong Pestle. If I don't agree, even if

The holder of the same kaleidoscope will never be able to escape."

"In addition, the sealing technique in this room has been activated. It will gradually extract the chakra in the body and weaken the will to resist layer by layer, until the people trapped here give up resistance completely."

Xia Nan raised his head and looked at Fugaku. From this angle, he could only see Fugaku's back but not his expression. Therefore, Xia Nan didn't know whether Fugaku was explaining to him or warning someone who was pretending to be faint.

?

In fact, according to Xia Nan's idea, just burn it to ashes. It would be so simple. But considering that it is very likely to be locked in a different space by Qiong Qiong Pestle, Xia Nan said that she just thought about it.

That's all.

Fugaku looked at Itachi lying on the ground and retracted his hand several times.

There was silence for a moment.

"Let's go."

Fugaku stood up and turned to leave. He walked very quickly, and walked out of the secret room without even looking at Xia Nan. The panicked figure... even looked a little embarrassed.

What a pitiful guy. While thinking this, Xia Nan also left the secret room.

Before leaving, Xia Nan looked back one last time.

Itachi was lying on the ground with his body curled up and bound by chains. His head was facing the wall and his legs were facing the door. His bangs covered his face so that no one could see his expression, as if he was dead.

Motionless.

The dull and even desperate atmosphere made Xia Nan frown. He turned around and walked out of the secret room silently, and then closed the door of the secret room from the outside.

Crunch... bang.

As the walls merged again, darkness completely swallowed up the light in the secret room.

When there was no one else in the room, Itachi lying on the ground shook slightly, then slowly supported his head on the ground, turned his body over, and lay on his back, looking at the light above his head.

Seal talisman.

Uchiha Itachi is a strong man with a kaleidoscope, and he naturally knows how his father Fugaku feels about him, but because of this...

……………………

After leaving the shrine, Fugaku walked aimlessly on the road like a zombie. He was a bit stimulated that night, and too many things happened suddenly. A lot of heavy pressure like a mountain directly crushed the young man.

A man who is nearly middle-aged and still suffers from one of the three major tragedies in his life.

Xia Nan followed Fugaku for a long time until he came to a ruins and stopped.

The courtyard was completely burned by fire and was now in a mess.

Seeing this scene made Xia Nan somewhat embarrassed.

"...You should go back first. Enough things happened tonight. I need some time to sort out my thoughts."

Fugaku turned his back to Xia Nan and said something, then left Xia Nan alone and continued to move forward.

After walking a few steps, Fugaku suddenly stopped again.

"Also, thank you for your hard work."

This may be the unique tsundere attribute of the Uchiha people. Even if they want to express their gratitude, they are unwilling to say it directly, and they deliberately act like a superior talking to their subordinates. In a sense, the Uchiha clan is really interesting.

Xia Nan watched Fugaku leave. He lingered in place for a moment, raised his head and glanced at the dark night sky, and then walked in the direction of his residence.

Things have come to an end tonight.

The Uchiha clan barely got a chance to breathe. Even after defeating Itachi, the internal agent of the big villain, the Uchiha gained a sense of initiative.

But this advantage is too fragile. At tomorrow's Hokage meeting, Konoha's top brass will definitely put pressure on the Uchiha, and by the way, they will also warn the small Uchiha families.

There is no doubt that tomorrow's meeting will be difficult. If Uchiha Fugaku cannot handle it properly, then for Uchiha, the night of genocide will only be postponed for a few months.

But by that time, Xia Nan felt that he should have escaped far away, and then found a place where there was no one and stayed there until the finale. He didn't even plan to come out.

"Haah... wonderful freedom, I will soon have you."

Xia Nan, who thought that the Uchiha clan would be under pressure for him in the next few months, and that he could rest assured and wait for an opportunity to escape after a while, happily hummed a ditty on the way back.

The feeling of having someone carry the bag is so pleasant, so happy!

……………………

Early the next morning.

Boom!

There was a knock on the door outside the house.

Xia Nan slept for less than five hours yesterday. She got up from the bed in a daze and went to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, he immediately saw rows of fully armed Uchiha ninjas standing outside.

"Vice Captain Xia Nan, the patriarch has ordered us to come and greet you!"

Xia Nan:???
