Naruto: The secret in the wood escape barrier

"Father, excuse me." At this time, Itachi came over from the corridor.

Fugaku noticed his son looking at him and quickly put the note in his pocket.

Itachi pretended not to see anything and went directly into the room and sat down on his seat. Fugaku also closed the door, but he did not turn around and sit down.

"Father, I——"

"Itachi, if you are here to tell me your choice, then you don't have to say it. I don't have time to listen now."

Itachi raised his head in confusion and looked at Fugaku.

"Your actions will tell me the answer."

After saying that, Fugaku opened the door and prepared to leave.

"Father!"

Itachi shouted loudly from behind.

"I don't want to tell you anything else, Itachi. Please put yourself in my shoes and think about it."

After saying this, Fugaku left without looking back.

Little Sasuke surrounded his mother who was cooking in the kitchen.

"Mom doesn't know why he went missing, but after you went back to your room to sleep that day, a guest did come to the house, but I don't know what he talked about with your father." Mikoto stirred the soup in the pot. , while explaining to Sasuke.

"Okay then..." Sasuke drooped his head.

"Did you hear from your brother that he was missing?" Mikoto asked.

"Actually..." Sasuke put his hand to his lips, not knowing what to say.

"Is that so..." Mikoto already understood that Itachi knew about this, and she looked worried.

"Lord Patriarch, Lord Patriarch!"

Just as Fugaku was about to go out, he saw a clan member rushing in in a panic, holding a letter in his hand.

"This is a letter from the Yondaime Hokage to you."

Fugaku didn't dare to waste a moment. As soon as the messenger left, he opened it and read it carefully.

"Are you agreeing to negotiate? And the person you sent is Shisui..." Fugaku repeatedly checked the handwriting of the letter: "If Minato wrote the letter personally, he shouldn't be deceiving me, but there may be deception..."

He thought again of the note "Uchiha Madara" left for him, which made him difficult to decide.

He looked up at the sky and muttered: "Whether Konoha is cheating or not will be known as soon as we talk. If the communication is smooth, there is no need to go to that step. Let's listen to their conditions first."

------------

"Then the patriarch means to have 'friendly' negotiations with Konoha?" An elder asked Fugaku at the Uchiha collective meeting.

"Since the other party has agreed to negotiate, I think we can still give it a try." Fugaku said.

"But didn't you just say that the ancestor thought they were pretending to have peace talks? Do you want to go against the will of the ancestor?" The other party had no intention of giving in, and his tone was aggressive.

"He is just using Madara's name. It is not yet certain whether he is the real Madara." Fugaku said his thoughts: "It is also possible that he just came to provoke Uchiha and Uchiha for his own purposes. The relationship between Konoha.”

Fugaku paused and continued: "But please don't worry, I will also be prepared. If we find that the other party is not sincere in peace talks, we will immediately fight back."

"But if they were originally aiming to annihilate us, it would be too late to take action by then." A tribesman said.

"I know Minato, he's not like that." Fugaku said.
