Konoha Family's Bones

Shisui and Fugaku came out of the room, talking and laughing. No one would have thought that the atmosphere between the two of them in the room would be so tense just now.After saying hello to Uchiha Itachi on the training ground, Shisui left the home of the clan leader Uchiha Fugaku.

After watching Shisui go, Fugaku folded his arms and sat down under the eaves again.He began to guide Itachi in the practice of shuriken, until the sun gradually set, and Uchiha Itachi also ended the day's ninja training.Mikoto, who had prepared dinner, came to the edge of the training ground at the right time and asked the father and son to go back to eat.

During dinner, looking at his son who was devouring his food, Fugaku suddenly said after taking a sip of sake, "Itachi, you should continue to find Taketori Aoki as your sparring partner from tomorrow on."

"What's wrong? You suddenly thought of letting Itachi go to Aoki to practice ninjutsu?" Uchiha Itachi didn't say anything yet, but Mikoto looked at her husband in surprise. She didn't understand why Fugaku suddenly changed his mind.

"The main reason is that the clan is too busy with affairs. I can't really stay with this brat all the time." Uchiha Fugaku showed a rare smile. Mikoto didn't know that Shisui had already arrived in the afternoon, so she explained.

"Oh, I know." Hearing this, Itachi's expression was not as happy as Mikoto imagined. He just agreed in a decent manner, and then continued to work with his head down, and the topic ended like this.

Uchiha, as a powerful clan in the ninja world, the Fugaku family has always had a rule of not talking when eating or sleeping.Therefore, the family rarely spoke during meals. Fugaku had no doubts about his son's indifference.

He didn't know that his son Uchiha Itachi actually knew the inside story.

Although his son's behavior was unexpectedly cold, in Fugaku's view, the calmer Uchiha Itachi's attitude towards Taketori Aoki, the more at ease he would be as a father, because only in this way can the village avoid affecting Itachi's thoughts. .

After finishing dinner quickly, Uchiha Itachi put down the bowls and chopsticks and said to Fugaku and Mikoto, "Father and mother, I've finished eating and I'm going out first."

"Okay." Hearing this, Uchiha Fugaku nodded. He knew that this kid was probably going to find Shisui.Fugaku did not criticize this, and still had great trust in Shisui Uchiha Fugaku.

Uchiha Itachi walked out of the room and put on his shoes on the corridor.He picked up the chakra and ran outside quickly. With the tacit understanding between Itachi and Shisui, he knew that Uchiha Shisui must be waiting for him at the same place now.

Every time Uchiha Shisui finished a task or finished his work, he would go to that place to relax that night.After going back and forth, it became the "old place" for him and Shisui to meet.

Sure enough, when they arrived somewhere in the back mountain of Konoha, far away Itachi saw Shisui sitting under a big tree, looking up blankly at the stars in the sky with the gentle breeze blowing.Without taking the initiative to greet Zhisui, Itachi also sat next to Zhisui and watched the stars in the sky in trance with him.

After an unknown amount of time, Uchiha Shisui suddenly took a deep breath and said, "Itachi, did you hear the conversation between me and the clan leader this afternoon?"

Compared to Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Shisui had a deeper understanding of Itachi.Every time the two of them met in the past, Itachi would talk to him about everything and seemed very lively.Even during the time when his companions were killed, Shisui had never seen Itachi so quiet.

It was as if the Uchiha Itachi in front of him had grown a lot in an instant.

Brother Shisui guessed that he had eavesdropped on the conversation between him and his father. Uchiha Itachi was not surprised at all, and he came here today because he wanted to know the answer, "Is there any problem between the village and the family? Why? Such distrust? Even if Senior Aoki is my sparring partner, you have to be so wary?"

Hearing this, Shisui let out a long breath. Sure enough, Itachi really heard it.Through his previous interactions with Itachi, he had a very good understanding of Itachi's character. Since Itachi already knew some things, he might as well tell them all.

He has been caught between the village and his family for too long. It is too hard for Shisui to be the running-in agent. He also wants to find someone to share the burden and talk to him. Maybe the current Uchiha Itachi can't help much, but With his special status, he was destined to be unable to stay out of the situation.

"That's right, everything starts from the time of the first and second generation. The clan leader at that time, Uchiha Madara, and the first Hokage jointly established the Konoha Ninja Village..." In the next half hour, Uchiha Shisui began He told Itachi about the relationship between the village and Uchiha, which naturally included Uchiha Madara's departure and the end of the honeymoon period between the family and the village.

"That's probably what happened. Now the village doesn't trust the family. And the clan is also quite critical of the village's deliberate alienation. Maybe you don't know that in the recent period, there have been many attacks and killings of ninjas in the village in the Land of Fire. , these matters are all handled by the ANBU of Konoha. And many of the methods of committing crimes are very similar to Uchiha's methods. Because I am the only Uchiha in the ANBU, I also participated in this matter."

"Are you saying that someone in the clan is ruining Uchiha's reputation?" Hearing Shisui's story, Uchiha Itachi's eyes suddenly widened, with a trace of anger brewing in them.

"This is the evidence, and I can't refute it. I have communicated these matters with the clan leader, but Lord Fugaku insisted that no clan members have gone out recently, and there is nothing I can do if he is unwilling to cooperate with the village's investigation." Shaking his head helplessly, Shisui continued Said, "I can feel that someone does not want the family and the village to stay in harmony, but I can't find who that person is..."

"If this kind of thing continues, wouldn't the family and the village..." Uchiha Itachi stopped talking mid-sentence.Because if things really come to that point, he really doesn't know how to choose.Whether it was the village or the Uchiha clan, he belonged to both. He could not imagine that one day the two would meet at war.

"So I will try my best to find the people who are hiding in the dark and obstructing them as quickly as possible. Only by eliminating all these obstructing people can the village and the family be reunited..." Looking at the side Itachi, Shisui also told each other all the secrets for the first time.

"Brother Shisui, don't worry! I will help you! For the sake of the family and the village!" Seeing Uchiha Shisui's slightly decadent look, Uchiha Itachi suddenly said. At this moment, his eyes were extremely firm. .

"Well, let's work together for the sake of the family and the village!" Seeing Itachi's firm look in his eyes, Shisui seemed to be infected, and they struck each other's palms with each other.
