Naruto: The secret in the wood escape barrier

The father and son came to Fugaku's room, which was a place Itachi had visited countless times, but his mood today was completely different from the past.

"Sit down." Fugaku motioned for Itachi to sit down.

The father and son just sat facing each other, remaining silent, as if this way, nothing bad would happen.

It was Fugaku who broke the silence first.

"As for me, I always think that I am right, so I have done many wrong things before." Fugaku smiled self-deprecatingly.

"I have also hurt you. Although I know some things are irreparable, I still want to say sorry to you."

Then Fugaku adjusted his kneeling posture, leaning forward and bringing his knees together. He put his hands forward against the ground, then bent down and slowly placed his forehead on the ground.

"Father, please don't do this!"

Seeing his father making such a solemn apology, Itachi hurriedly stepped forward to help his father up.

"What's wrong is wrong. It has nothing to do with age or seniority." Fugaku raised his head and said to Itachi.

Then he grabbed his son's hand, pulled him towards him, and whispered: "Qingji said he burned Shisui's body, but I didn't see it with my own eyes, but the Sharingan is real. If...you still have regrets in your heart, you can go to Qingji's house to look for them."

"Yeah." Itachi responded with his head lowered while holding back tears.

"One more thing," Fugaku took out the note from his pocket and handed it to Itachi: "This person gave me this note. He called himself Uchiha Madara, but Madara lived in an era too far away from now. And he feels more like a mature man to me.”

Fugaku continued to recall: "When I was in the secret room, I was more or less bewitched by him, and he seemed not to be restricted by space and could freely enter and exit closed places."

Itachi picked up the note and looked at it carefully.

"This person intentionally provoked a conflict between Uchiha and Konoha. I prevented him from doing so. Therefore, he may appear again. You must be careful." Fugaku warned Itachi.

"I see, father."

Itachi agreed. He looked up at his father and found that his father looked at him with such loving eyes.

"Itachi, you are a very kind boy. If I had listened to you from the beginning, I wouldn't have reached this point. But if you do something wrong, you have to take responsibility. The family is currently in a state of falling apart... However, like this As a result, Konoha will not kill us all, but from now on, the Uchiha clan will keep a lower profile."

Itachi nodded.

"You have been outstanding since you were a child, and I have always believed in your abilities, so your mother and Sasuke will be entrusted to you in the future, and the family will also have to worry about you."

"Yes..." Itachi's voice began to tremble.

Fugaku continued: "I betrayed the trust of Minato and Shisui, and ignored the voices of those clansmen who longed for peace. This is my sin. Therefore, all I can do for them now is to use my own life to make up for it. My mistake."

"Father..." Itachi finally couldn't control his tears and flowed down.

"Don't be sad, Itachi. I am also a selfish person. I do this to save your mother and you two brothers."

His vision gradually blurred, tears couldn't stop secreting from his tear glands, and Itachi held his father's hand harder.

"Father, I understand, I understand everything..."
