Konoha's Destiny Twins

On the night of December 48, Konoha 10.

In Konoha Village, it was another peaceful and peaceful night as usual.

At this time, the night is getting darker, the evening breeze is floating, and the summer insects are chirping incessantly.

In a house in the Uchiha residence, Fugaku was still carefully reviewing government documents that had not been completed during the day.

Suddenly, his door was opened, and Mikoto walked in with a cup of tea.

"Is Sasuke asleep?" When Fugaku saw Mikoto coming, he closed his eyes and rested, preparing to take a nap.

"Sleep."

"You always seem to only ask about Sasuke's situation."

"Itachi has grown up, why do you need me to remind you about going to bed on time?"

Hmm, sophistry.

Soon Mikoto's attention was attracted by the thick stack of file locks on Fugaku's desk.

“It seems like there’s more work lately than there used to be.”

Fugaku opened his eyes again, took the tea in one hand and said slowly: "Yes, there have been a lot of things recently."

Since he sided with Orochimaru and Shimizu, he has faced more and more things in order to truly revive the Uchiha clan.

The training of young members of the Uchiha clan, the expansion of the guard force, the initial screening to join Konoha ANBU and... the formulation of patrol plans.

Each of these reforms has brought a huge workload, especially the last one. Not only has Shimizu recently talked to him many times about the safety and security of the village, but even the fourth generation Hokage Orochimaru came over today during the day. Uchiha station, specifically told him to be more vigilant recently.

"I see the Yondaime Hokage came to our place today."

"Well, he came over and transferred our recent duty records, as well as our schedule for the coming period."

"Is something going to happen?" Mikoto asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, I've made all preparations." Although he said he was relieved, Fugaku was always worried in his heart.

When I thought that Qing Shui had been out for so many days, but not even the slightest news had been sent back, it would be a lie to say that he was not worried.

After all, the enemy he needs to face is Akatsuki.

But then I thought about it, with Qingshui's current strength, I'm afraid no one in the entire ninja world can stop him.

Immediately, the heart that was originally hanging dropped a little.

"Well, even if something happens, you will just hide it from me."

Hey, I didn’t expect that Mikoto’s consciousness was quite high.

"How could it be..." Fugaku immediately began to show his loyalty. He picked up the tea cup and took a few sips before saying, "Our Sasuke and Itachi all depend on your great mother."

When she mentioned "mother", Mikoto immediately thought of Kushina, whom she met on the Konoha Tea Street today. Her face was filled with happiness and a little worry, because Kushina was about to become a "mother".

"Speaking of which, Kushina seems to be giving birth soon."

As soon as he heard that Kushina was about to give birth, Fugaku put down the teacup in his hand unconsciously. When Orochimaru came over today, he didn't tell him that Kushina was about to give birth, so he confirmed again and again: "She really wants to give birth." gave birth?"

"Well, I met her at the Tea Street today. She was accompanied by a medical ninja who was taking care of her throughout the whole process." Mikoto recalled everything that happened during the day, "She came to buy things."

"You're almost pregnant and still running around." Fugaku sighed slightly.

"I said so too, but she said she just wanted to personally select a sachet that can bring good luck and hang it in the temple."

"She lives in a temple?" Fugaku asked alertly.

"Well, she accidentally let it slip." Mikoto still remembered that the medical ninja beside Kushina was nervous for a while, and it didn't get better until Kushina comforted her again and again.

"You haven't mentioned this to the third person, have you?"

"Of course not." Mikoto just looked at the reactions of the two of them during the day and realized that the place where Kushina lived now was probably highly confidential.

Fugaku breathed a sigh of relief, and then said in a deep voice: "Well, this matter cannot be spread outside."

"Fugaku, about Kushina...do you know anything?"

Of course Fugaku knows, because Qing Shui once mentioned to him that Akatsuki will definitely attack on the day when Kushina gives birth. All their preparations are to cope with the arrival of that day. Obviously Orochimaru's arrival today I also learned that the other party's delivery date was approaching, so I came in person to inquire about security matters.

And soon, Fugaku thought that his right eyelid had been beating erratically many times today.

Could something big really happen tonight?

He quickly shook off his unfounded speculation.

"Well, the village takes her more seriously. After all, she is the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki."

"Oh, that's right." After taking the empty tea cup from Fugaku's hand, Mikoto quickly left the room.

Just the conversation just now made Fugaku unable to calm down anymore.

Kushina is about to give birth, but Qing Shui still hasn't come back. Masaki, whom Shisui is following and monitoring, has been silent in the past few days. Even when Orochimaru came over today, he said everything was normal and there was nothing abnormal.

However, it is precisely this kind of "everything is normal" that makes the suspicious Fugaku deeply anxious. In his opinion, it is this calm before the storm that is the most worrying time.

Because no one knows when the real crisis will erupt.

He unconsciously looked at the bright moon above the night sky again.

"Huh?! Red Moon?!"

Historically, this red full moon only appeared during a total lunar eclipse. Logically speaking, this was just a slightly special but not uncommon astronomical phenomenon. But at some point today, the insects outside the window had stopped chirping.

The sensitive Fugaku couldn't sit still anymore, and he immediately went to Zhenshi's home alone.

However, a few minutes later, what made him even more uneasy was that Shintoki, who was supposed to be preparing to rest at this time, was not at home.

You must know that when he just came here, he confirmed with a patrol team that no one would enter or leave the Uchiha station tonight.

So where did Zhenshi go? !

He desperately wanted to know why the other party chose to go out at such a time?

Is it to pass on information?still……

Thinking of this, Fugaku immediately began to track the marks left by Shisui. This was the contact information between the two of them during this period. Through the series of marks left by Shisui when tracking Zhenji, Fugaku could easily find him at any time.

So, after a series of secret tracking, Fugaku reached the depths of the dense forest, which was very close to the border of Konoha, and was also a location where the huge Konoha's defense was extremely weak.

A patrol team will pass by this area every half hour.

Tomorrow we have to send people to strengthen the security in this area.

And just when this idea first came to his mind, he suddenly froze.

Taking advantage of the red moon, he soon discovered the figures of Shisui and Shintoki in an open space not far away.

The two of them were actually talking face to face...? !

However, due to the distance, Fugaku could not hear the conversation between the two clearly.

Has Shisui been discovered?

A strong sense of crisis hit him, and the three magatama sharingan quietly opened.

After a brief hesitation, Fugaku decided to continue quietly approaching the two of them. At this time, he needed to obtain more information.

However, when he was only halfway through, a young and strange voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Here comes the second rat of the night."
