Uchiha's Counterattack

"Lord Fugaku, are you doubting me?"

A cold voice suddenly echoed in the room, and it was the young man sitting in front of him who said calmly.

Fugaku raised his head in slight surprise.

"I'm sorry, because your expression seemed to be saying this, and I couldn't help but say it for you." Xia Nan bowed her head slightly in return, and then continued: "If you sell the fate of your clan in exchange for a chance to survive, maybe

It is indeed not a bad thing in the eyes of others. But Lord Fugaku, I, Xia Nan, am not such a despicable short-sighted person."

"After all, there is a saying: A dead enemy is the best. So change this sentence a little bit and say that a dead Uchiha is the best Uchiha. What do you think of this sentence?

how?"

Under the illumination of the candlelight, Fugaku's face kept changing colors, as if his inner conflicts were reflected on the surface at this moment.

"...Who is the spy placed by Konoha's top management in Uchiha?"

Fugaku changed the topic and changed directions while asking for information and making judgments.

"Uchiha Shisui, and Uchiha Itachi."

Xia Nan clearly saw Fugaku twitching the corners of his eyes.

Fugaku did not believe what Xia Nan said, and even thought he was talking nonsense. However, Fugaku did not dare to deny it easily. He began to think carefully and judge Xia Nan's words.

The ancestor of Uchiha Shisui was a disciple of the second generation Hokage and a direct descendant of Uchiha Mirror. His attitude inherited his grandfather's will. He is a member of the Uchiha tribe who is naturally close to the Hokage faction, and has always hoped to become a member of the village and the tribe.

A bridge of mutual understanding.

Uchiha Shisui did do a lot for the village and his people at first, but until the past two years, Uchiha Shisui's actions and emotions have been in a low state, and during this period, the relationship between him and the roots was revealed.

There seems to be a secret connection between them...

The Root of Konoha, when Fugaku thought of the man who led the dark side of Konoha, he couldn't help but frown, and his heart was filled with rejection of that man.

The last time Shisui appeared in front of the public was four days ago. It is said that he went to report before disappearing, but it was obvious that Shisui was not reporting to him, the clan leader. And the chess piece placed by the Hokage also said that he had not seen Zhishui.

Water was flowing in and out of the Hokage's office.

Since it was a report but not to the clan leader or anyone from the Hokage side, then who else could it be? The secret behind this is very intriguing.

"What is the evidence?" Fugaku is not stupid, he is just more cautious. He has discovered some of the flaws, but still maintains the vigilance of a high-ranking person and raised the most important question to Xia Nan——

evidence.

"Danzo and the top management of Konoha have received news that Uchiha is about to launch an armed rebellion. They believe that it is urgent to destroy Uchiha. However, due to the problems of the third generation and the existence of Shisui and Uchiha Itachi, the militant group has

Zang has been unable to obtain a kill order for a long time."

"Danzo is a ruthless man. In order to destroy the Uchiha before the rebellion occurs, he must get rid of the two most obstructive people. One of them is Shisui, who has been working hard to promote peace between the village and the tribe, and his

Companion Weasel.”

"The person Shisui went to see before he died was none other than Danzo who summoned him in the name of the Sandaime. Without any doubts, Shisui went there and fell into Danzo's trap, and was taken away during a fierce battle.

one eye."

"Eyes?" Fugaku frowned.

"Not only the eyes but also the hope for peace between Konoha and the tribe were robbed by Danzo. Danzo's actions let Zhisui know that the matter had fallen into an irreversible situation. At that moment, Zhisui

My heart completely fell into despair.”

"The tribe's incomprehension and rejection, as well as the eagerness of Konoha's top brass to destroy Uchiha, made Shisui choose suicide under a double blow, leaving Uchiha Itachi completely isolated and helpless."

"Shisui was caught in the gap between the Uchiha clan and the village. He was hanging on for a while until his life was completely cut off... No, it should be said that he chose to commit suicide because he lost hope."

"However, Uchiha Shisui's close relationship with the top management of Konoha during his lifetime has far exceeded the contact with the clan. Shisui once publicly expressed his support for the village's Will of Fire policy, which was potentially putting the interests of the village at risk.

Above the heads of the clan members, it is not difficult to see from this that his political stance is biased towards the top of the village."

"You want to say that Shisui is already Hokage's man?"

"The point is not that Hokage is a person, but the question is when did he start to deviate from his position. Uchiha Shisui's mentality and beliefs undoubtedly have a certain influence, and perhaps most Uchiha people sneer at it.

But as long as there is one person who inherits his will, and this person happens to be a relative of a certain speaker in the clan, coupled with his own good deeds and the trust of his clan members..."

The words stopped abruptly here, not because Xia Nan stopped talking, but because Fugaku in front of him stretched out a hand to stop Xia Nan from continuing.

Fugaku, who had a somewhat distorted face, lowered his head. He really knew his children very well, especially this eldest son who had always made him proud since he was a child.

Itachi is an undoubted genius. When other children are still innocent, he can already start to think like an adult. And it is precisely because of this that Uchiha Fugaku has a strong relationship between the village and his tribe.

On political issues, Itachi has never been shy about talking about these issues.

Originally...it was intended to make Itachi become Uchiha's trump card among the Hokage factions.

However, the close relationship between Uchiha Itachi and Shisui made Fugaku, who had never realized that Shisui's thoughts had such a huge threat, once ignored the huge harm that the resonance between thoughts could cause.

There is no doubt that with Itachi's admiration and relationship with Shisui, he has undoubtedly been deeply influenced by Shisui's thoughts, coupled with his own talent and understanding. I am afraid that like Shisui, he has chosen to believe in the Fire

The village of will...

Realizing that things had become out of control, Fugaku frowned and stared at the tatami in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xia Nan looked at Fugaku who was obviously out of control. He stood up on his tiptoes in an unnoticeable manner. Otherwise, he was worried that Fugaku had committed an old Uchiha habit and his emotions would explode in an instant! The speed and suddenness of the explosion

I won't reason with you at all.

But the words have come to this point, and they must be explained clearly. After all, this matter is related to one's own life.

Xia Nan thought for a while and tried his best to choose something to say that would not irritate Fugaku to the point of emotional collapse. He said: "The cause of Shisui's death is no longer important. What is important is that Shisui chose to commit suicide as a way of relief.

That's the most important thing. This means that Shisui has completely despaired of the rapprochement between the village and his tribe."

"However, despair is also a contagious emotion. Shisui's death will definitely stimulate Itachi and bring him into an extreme mood. And the problem is not whether Itachi's thoughts are extreme. The key is Itachi's

Inheriting Shisui's political consciousness and stance, his choice of position between Uchiha and the village is the key."

"And Itachi, who was obviously influenced by the Hokage faction and Shisui, had no choice...well."

At this time, Xia Nan glanced at Fugaku metaphorically and stopped talking.

The room fell into silence for a while.

………………

…………

"However, all of this is just speculation. You can't provide any real evidence, so everything can only be attributed to your personal conjecture and some reasonable inferences."

Fugaku took a deep breath, with a wry smile on his face and said: "However, even if it is just speculation, these words have made me clearly understand a lot of things. Now the Uchiha clan has no good choice."

The bright red kaleidoscope rotated slowly, staring at Xia Nan, who began to become nervous unconsciously.

"but……"

A flash of cold light in the darkness!

Brush! Before Xia Nan could react, a kunai had already rubbed his ear and flew out, bringing up a string of flickering sparks in the air...

Xia Nan was stunned for a moment, then her surprised expression faded slightly, and she looked at Fugaku, who was full of murderous intent, with a helpless expression.

"If the Sharingan hadn't determined that you were not controlled by illusion, the kunai just now would have pierced your throat directly. And in front of my eyes, any lies will be self-defeating. We are both members of the Uchiha clan.

You should know."

"But you have passed the test of my eyes, but you still have difficulty gaining my trust, so whether what you say is true or false, you will have to suffer a little first. As for what you said..."

Kick, kick, kick! A sound of trotting came.

"Master Fugaku. Master Itachi has returned and is waiting in the main hall at this time."

People outside reported it.

Fugaku was silent for a moment, then stood up and walked to Xia Nan. He placed a hand directly on Xia Nan's shoulder, inexplicably confining all the chakra in his body.

Xia Nan raised his head in surprise and glanced at Fugaku's kaleidoscope. Could this be Fugaku's unique kaleidoscope ability? And is it also a rare sealed kaleidoscope?

Surprised, Xia Nan was taken out of the house by Fugaku. After leaving, Fugaku transformed the kaleidoscope back into an ordinary three magatama, followed by the two brothers of left and right and several guardian ninjas.

Judging from the direction they were traveling, Fugaku, who was undecided and doubtful, obviously did not completely believe Xia Nan's words, but out of caution, he planned to take Xia Nan directly to confront Itachi.

If Xia Nan was lying, Fugaku didn't mind directly dealing with Xia Nan on the spot, and by the way, he used Itachi's mouth to tell the matter to the top management of Konoha, in order to show that Uchiha was really unwilling to rebel.

But if there are any hesitations or flaws in Itachi's performance...

Under the gloomy expression, Fugaku's mood also sank to the bottom.
