I became Uchiha Sasuke's younger brother

Itachi Uchiha jumped between the trees holding the falcon in his arms.

Behind them were the Uchiha clan members who had been brought over, and they were walking quickly towards Konoha.

Uchiha Shisui followed beside him, his eyes scanning the sleeping Hayabusa from time to time, and then, looking at the cold-faced Itachi, he frowned slightly.

"Itachi, don't worry, Falcon is fine for the time being. We'll find out after going to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow."

Of course Falcon was fine. Not only had he eaten and drank enough, he didn't even walk. He was either being carried or held.

But Itachi didn't think so, he blamed himself very much. Itachi hugged the person in his arms tightly and looked at his eyelashes that fluttered with his breathing, and the panic in his heart calmed down slightly.

"Brother Zhisui, I'm too weak."

What's the use of a brother who's too weak to follow him in the first place, who's too weak to find him now, and who can't protect his younger brother?

Sasuke kept asking at home where his brother was.

He was about to collapse when he got the news from Shisui that Hayabusa had been kidnapped.

As time passed by, Itachi became more and more panicked, and the images of the dead people even appeared in front of his eyes. He had killed people, he had seen those people lose their breath, he could watch them die, but he could not accept his brother becoming like that.

After telling his father the news, he brought his people to find him.

He followed the marks left by Shisui and found them.

In the dim forest, he saw the person lying in Zhisui's arms at a glance. His brows were calm, his long eyelashes brushed his cheeks, and his lips were red.

Seeing Falcon breathing steadily, Itachi seemed to have found his mind. Where he stood, his whole body was trembling unconsciously.

His brother, his bond, was unharmed.

"Weasel?"

Zhisui, who was standing opposite, looked at him with shock and confusion in his eyes.

"Did you open your eyes?"

The three magatama were turning slowly in the beautiful bright red eyes. Uchiha Itachi seemed not to hear his question and walked directly in front of him, moving the falcon from Shisui's arms to his own.

Hayabusa seemed to feel a different smell when he was in another arms. He opened his eyes in confusion, and as if he felt safe, he rubbed Itachi's neck, and then fell asleep again.

The chin was swept by the fluffy hair, and the arms were full. Itachi's cold fingertips restrained the falcon's clothes, and the Sharingan slowly disappeared. He adjusted his position to make the falcon sleep more comfortably.

He looked up, his face expressionless.

"Let's go, Brother Shisui, father is waiting for us."

"what--"

Uchiha Shisui looked at him, then at Hayabusa who was sleeping soundly, unconsciously touched his neck, and quickly withdrew his hand as if he had been burned.

His Adam's apple rolled

"Let's go."

The lights of the Uchiha clan were brightly lit.

The news that the clan leader's youngest son had been kidnapped had spread throughout Uchiha, and the clan members became strangely angry.

Why, Kyuubi didn't let Uchiha take action in the first battle and was always on guard against Uchiha. They all tolerated it. After all, they were all living in the same village. They knew how difficult the villagers were now, so even if they were eager to fight, it was just There were some quarrels within the clan.

But now foreigners dare to stretch their hands that far? Who should be moved? Touch their Uchiha?

Is their reputation declining or do they feel they can no longer wield the knife?

"Clan leader, this is a provocation to our entire Uchiha clan!"

"That's right! We have to teach them a lesson!"

"The people of Kirigakure are so brave. If Shisui hadn't discovered it first, who would have known where they would have taken the falcon?"

Uchiha Fugaku was no less angry than them. The one who was kidnapped was his child. He still remembered the way the child smiled and called him father. But he is the leader of the clan and cannot and is not allowed to do anything extraordinary.

Fugaku straightened his back. Wherever he sat, his sharp gaze slowly swept across the people in front of him, as if he wanted to see through people's hearts.

It's like examining and choosing.

Finally, he spoke

"Uchiha Setsuna, Uchiha Medicine, Uchiha Iron Fire."

"exist"

"exist"

"exist"

The person who is called bows his head respectfully

Everyone else also fell silent, looking at Uchiha Fugaku with burning eyes.

And Uchiha Fugaku just said plainly: "The three of you each take ten people to the border to support our Uchiha clan. By the way, you can show those who are not discerning what the consequences will be if you touch our Uchiha clan members. "

His words were loud and full of confidence.

"Yes!" The three people looked at each other and understood his determination.

Just as they were about to take action, someone raised their hand.

"Clan leader, what would the Sandaime say if they knew we were gathering?"

Uchiha Fugaku half-clasped his hands and put them on his knees. His originally calm face narrowed his eyes when he heard the question. He looked along and was silent for a while. The air condensed instantly and the atmosphere became heavier.

It took him a while before he spoke

"Lord Hokage knows that, as for you, let's follow Setsuna to the border."

The man was a little surprised, but he still nodded and agreed.

"As ordered."

Uchiha Fugaku withdrew his gaze and then changed the topic.

"Our police force has been too lax recently. I know everyone is dissatisfied with the handling above, but the first thing we have to do now is to handle our own affairs well. If a person can't handle his own responsibilities well, then what's the point? What victory do you want, do you understand?"

The Uchiha said loudly: "I understand!"

"I know that everyone is saddened by the attitude of the villagers, but we must also be sensible." He glanced at everyone, "Our relatives and friends are all here. I believe everyone still understands the principle of prosperity and loss. "

"Now, you go, I hope to get a letter of apology from Kirigakure Village tomorrow."

"Hi!"

Hokage office building

Sarutobi Hiruzen was sitting there, smoking a cigarette. The smoke was so thick that it was difficult to see his expression clearly.

In front of him were Danzo, Mito Kadenen and Koharu who were transferred to the dormitory, sitting with serious faces on their faces.

The table in the middle was filled with sheets of paper.

"Hiruzen, Kirigakure and Kumogakure are constantly attacking our border defenses. They have been testing our strength. If Konoha doesn't give them a hard blow, if they endure it, they will definitely think that we are afraid of them." Mito Kadoren pointed at the table, "Now they are raiding our defense lines every two days. Although our border defense forces can hold on, they will collapse sooner or later. Hiruzen, being on the defensive all the time will lower morale."

After turning to bed, Xiaochun sighed.

"Monoyan, you know that after the war and the Nine-Tails in Konoha, not only did our strength drop a lot, but now we can hardly sustain our finances. Kumogakure and the others came to harass us because they wanted to prevent us from developing steadily. , although we have reached this point, as long as they do not unite, we can still fight, but we cannot fight now."

"Then we can only endure it forever? How many of our troops in Konoha have died in vain?"

"We can't fight then! There are almost no grassroots ninjas in Konoha. If we fight again, we will end the generation. We must recuperate! Continuing to fight is very dangerous for the exhausted Konoha."

"What should we do!"

Mito Kadoyan patted the handle of the stool, his face turned pale.

Danzo, who had been silent all this time, snorted coldly as if he was about to say something. Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was sitting on top, knocked his cigarette stick on the table and raised his hand.

Danzo and the others also kept their mouths shut. After all, he was still the current Hokage and there was no need for them to confront him.

Hiruzen calmly took another puff of cigarette before saying: "The Uchiha boy was kidnapped by the ninjas of Kirigakure Village. Now Uchiha and the others are gathering their strength to go to the front line. Don't worry."

Danzo looked at him as the mist rose, and said coldly: "How brave, you are not afraid of what they will do."

"Duanzo, we are all from the same village. At this time, we must work together to overcome the difficulties. There are still smart people in Uchiha, and there are ANBU who are always following you. Don't think too much." Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled, "Yes. It’s time for me to go see the Daimyo, and the funding problem is still very serious.”

Mito Kadoyan and the others looked at each other without speaking.

Soon, Sarutobi Hiruzen was the only one left in this office.

He picked up the paper on the table and read it carefully.

In the empty room, a figure suddenly appeared.

The man was wearing an Anbu costume and a mask, kneeling on one knee respectfully.

"Sandaime-sama, we have confirmed that their age matches the group of people who disappeared from Konoha before, and they can all use Wood Release."

"Oh?" Hiruzen put down the paper in his hand and raised his head, "Thank you for your hard work, Kakashi."

"Sandaime-sama, Danzo-sama, Orochimaru-sama and the others"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at him lovingly, but his tone was a little sad, "I understand what you mean Kakashi, don't act rashly yet, they are all very keen and will disappear once they are alerted. If you want to expose it, it is best to With the evidence in hand, now is not the time, let’s wait for some time.”

"Yes"

"By the way, bring Uchiha Hayabusa here tomorrow. I have something to ask him."

"Yes." Kakashi replied
