Naruto: The secret in the wood escape barrier

The place where the Uchiha clan lives.

"Itachi, you have been brainwashed by him."

That day, Sasuke took the first place report card and was about to go to his father. He heard his father say this at the door of his father's room.

Sasuke didn't understand what this meant. He only knew that it was not the right time to go in now.

Sensing someone, both parties talking in the room stopped talking.

"Sasuke, what's the matter?" Fugaku asked from behind the door.

Hearing his father calling him, Sasuke opened the door. There were only Fugaku and Itachi in the room. Fugaku's expression was as serious as ever, while Itachi was still in ANBU attire and looked like he had entered the house not long ago.

"Well...if you have something to do, I won't disturb you." Looking at this scene, his father and brother must have important things to talk about, so Sasuke was ready to leave first.

"Well, your brother and I have something to talk about. You can come back later." Fugaku answered him.

Sasuke nodded to his father, then looked at Itachi Uchiha, whose brother smiled at him.

For Sasuke, his brother's smile and his father's recognition were the best rewards, and now he got one of them.

At this time, Sasuke felt like he was carrying a naughty little bird in his arms, flying up and down, very happy.

"Okay, I know." Sasuke said and ran away.

"Father, do you have to do this?" Itachi asked Fugaku after Sasuke walked away.

"Itachi, you have to know that I am not just Uchiha Fugaku, I am also the leader of the Uchiha clan. Sometimes I can't help myself. There is no problem for you to be friends with Shisui, but if he stands on the opposite side of the Uchiha clan , he is the enemy of our clan, I can only get rid of him."

Itachi was silent.

Fugaku continued: "I have also shown you the stone monument of the Uchiha clan. Our clan has its own mission. Konoha is afraid of the ability of the Sharingan. Now it is true that we are being excluded by Konoha. The minds of the people in the clan have changed." , God's will and the people's hearts are all in place, and if you violate it forcibly, you will be punished by God. Of course I want to resolve this matter in a gentler way, but the previous negotiations with Konoha did not go smoothly, and I am afraid that it will be inevitable to reach that point. At that time, If Shisui still stands in the way, then what he is doing is trying to go against the will of heaven, and he will not end well, so you can’t stay with him anymore.”

Itachi understood that his father's words undoubtedly gave him an ultimatum. His father had his own bottom line. Shisui's previous attempts to persuade his father through negotiation to reverse the Uchiha clan's ideas were still unlikely to be realized.

On the one hand, he belongs to the ANBU directly under the Hokage; on the other hand, he cannot give up his identity as the son of the leader of the Uchiha clan. Now the interests of the two conflicted, making it difficult for him to choose between them.

What's more, there is Shisui caught in it, who is his lifelong friend and his beloved lover.

"So when is father going to take action?" Itachi asked.

"Soon." Fugaku raised his head and revealed his Sharingan: "So there is not much time left for you. Which side do you choose? Tell me as soon as possible. I can't wait for you too long."

Itachi remained calm on the outside, but the inner struggle never stopped for a moment.

Once the Uchiha clan embarks on the road of rebellion, it will definitely be a lose-lose situation for Konoha and the clan. The peace will be broken, foreign enemies will take advantage of the situation, and the lives of the people will be devastated... These are all weights placed on the balance, no matter what is taken. Whichever one you choose, it will cause the balance to become unbalanced and cause irreparable losses.
