Naruto: The secret in the wood escape barrier

"This matter must be kept secret from my father and mother, including what I said to you."

Sasuke said "Okay", but he still hadn't gotten over the shock of what his brother had just said.

"Then, what should I do?" Sasuke asked.

"If you go to find father, I'm afraid he will be wary, but didn't you just say that when you wanted to carry water back, mother asked you to wait before going over. Maybe mother knows something."

"But him, didn't he get lost on his own? How would mother know?"

"I'm just guessing. According to what you said, mother should know something."

After hearing what Itachi said, Sasuke seemed to be struggling. After thinking about it, he finally pulled his brother's clothes. Said: "Brother, actually I just lied. It was my father who asked me to bring Hatake back."

"As expected..." Itachi thought to himself.

Itachi unconsciously looked serious.

"Brother?" Sasuke tugged on Itachi's clothes again and asked Itachi ashamedly: "Are you angry with me?"

Itachi shook his head and reassured him: "It's not Sasuke's fault."

Then he continued: "Go to your mother and ask her."

"What about brother?" Sasuke asked softly.

Itachi stared at the red heart on the target board, took out a kunai from his ninja bag, and threw it out with a "swipe". The kunai hit the red heart and was firmly inserted into the target board.

"I have something to do with my father," Itachi replied, then smiled at Sasuke.

Sasuke nodded.

"I have to confirm my father's attitude." Itachi thought to himself.

"The above is all the situation reported by Kakashi."

Minato relayed these demands to Hiruzen and the advisory group.

"This is a naked provocation!" Mito Kadoyan shouted: "Who does Uchiha Fugaku think he is?"

"Calm down, Men Yan." Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly exhaled a puff of smoke: "They did not directly launch a coup, but raised a demand, which already shows that they still want to seek a peaceful solution to the matter."

"But these three demands are too sharp. There is no way we can agree to them!" Men Yan said resolutely.

"Minato, Minato is the Hokage, let's listen to his thoughts first." Hiruzen reminded his old teammate.

Men Yan shut his mouth and everyone waited for Minato to speak.

"My opinion is that since Uchiha has proposed peace talks, we should still give each other a chance." Minato said.

"Well, from their point of view, their demands are not incomprehensible." Hiruzen looked at the pipe and continued: "When Danzo was here, he had been suppressing them overtly and covertly, and it is normal for internal dissatisfaction to arise. If we can negotiate peace this time, it will also be an excellent opportunity to resolve conflicts, and I support Minato’s idea.”

"That kind of negotiation is simply unnecessary." Men Yan still refused to give in: "Hokage-sama and Fugaku have a very good personal relationship. Who knows if he said this because of personal feelings?"

"Lord Kadoyan, please rest assured on this. As Hokage, anyone who threatens the village will be my enemy." Minato replied seriously: "But at present, the Uchiha have not done such a thing, so they are still protected by me. object."

"Then do we have to fully agree to their conditions?" Xiaochun asked.

"The two sides of us can resolve it through negotiation, and we can make certain concessions if necessary." Minato replied.
