Tsunade, you're really drunk!

"Master Deputy Clan Leader, we just found Shisui's suicide note in his house!"

"Uchiha Jikura and the others have gone directly to the clan leader's door to question Uchiha Itachi."

Qianye took the suicide note handed to him by Uchiha Inahori.

"I can no longer endure long missions. If this continues, the Uchiha will perish sooner or later. I can no longer betray the ninja way in my heart."

Looking at the last words left by Shisui, Qianye felt a little regretful. He had performed several missions with him before. Although their relationship was not particularly close, at least Shisui still had his family in his heart.

Unlike Itachi, who has leaked all the family information to the Konoha high-level officials for the sake of the village.

We must take advantage of the time after Shisui's death to change the current situation. I hope Fugaku and others haven't forgotten my reminder last night.

Put away Shisui's suicide note.

"Let's go to Fugaku's house and find Itachi immediately."

"Yes."

……

"Shisui committed suicide at Nanga River last night. Where were you?"

"I'm telling you, I'm on a mission for the ANBU."

"I hope so, huh!"

Uchiha Jikura turned around with the other two and prepared to leave.

Uchiha Itachi looked up at the three people at the door:

"Just be frank. You suspect I'm the murderer, right?"

Zhi Cang turned around, staring at Uchiha Itachi with the three magatama in his eye sockets:

"That's right, brat."

"Listen, if you dare to betray our clan, we will never forgive you!"

Shisui's last words last night suddenly appeared in his mind, and the words of Uchiha Jikura and the other two continued to irritate his nerves.

With a quick swing of his fist forward, Itachi knocked the three men to the ground.

"Boom, bang, bang!"

He lowered his head and looked directly at the three people lying on the ground:

"A clan that opens its mouth and closes its mouth."

"You guys are so self-righteous all the time."

"How could you possibly know the depth of my ability?"

"That's why I knocked you to the ground."

Just as Uchiha Itachi was about to continue attacking, Fugaku appeared from the street entrance and rushed over.

"Stop it! Itachi, what the hell is going on…"

“Whoosh—bang!”

He quickly threw out a kunai with his right hand, which pierced the mural on the wall beside him. Cracks appeared on the wall, and the Uchiha fan on the mural also shattered.

"I have lost hope for this arrogant and boring group."

"Hey, Itachi, how can you, as the clan leader's son, say such a thing."

Qianye jumped down from the roof and stood opposite Itachi. Daohuo followed closely behind and quickly helped the three people on the ground up.

Fugaku watched from the side.

I don't know what Qianye will do next. Thinking back to the scene at the clan meeting last night, Qianye is such a bad guy. He doesn't even tell me how to cooperate with him in acting. I hope Itachi won't suffer.

I prayed silently for Itachi in my heart...

"Uchiha Qianye, this matter is not your turn to interfere."

Itachi knew Chiye, who was known as a genius in the clan second only to Shisui and himself, and who also awakened the three magatama at a young age.

But it was obvious that Itachi, who did not attend the clan meeting last night, did not know that Qianye not only awakened the Mangekyo, but also became the deputy clan leader.

Qianye smiled, shook his head, and looked at the rebellious traitor in front of him:

"I am now the deputy chief of the clan. Do you think I have the qualifications to interfere?"

Frowning, Itachi turned to look at his father, wanting to confirm if Qianye's words were true.

Seeing Fugaku nodded, Itachi didn't know how to refute Qianye. After all, Qianye was right, and he did have the qualifications to intervene.

Qianye looked at the now silent Itachi and pretended to think for a while:

"Itachi, come to Minamigagawa with Fugaku tonight."

After leaving these words, Qianye left with Daohuo, Zhicang and others.

Itachi watched Chiye and the others leave, then turned to face Fugaku:

"Father, why did Qianye suddenly become the deputy patriarch?"

Fugaku directly told Itachi the entire process of the clan meeting. Looking at Itachi's shocked expression, he didn't know whether he needed to say anything else.

But considering Qianye's plan, I'm sorry, son, but some things should be told to you at night. I, your father, didn't hide anything from you on purpose.

I don't know if it was influenced by Qianye or for some other reason, but Fugaku has some different ideas compared to before. However, it's just a little bit now. As for the future, who can say for sure.

At night, the crescent moon shone brightly. Qianye arrived at the cliff of Nanhe River early in the morning. He sat there, looking at the waterfall in front of him, thinking about his plans for tonight.

After all, Itachi is a filial son in the original work.

In Qianye's opinion, Itachi's life was extremely miserable. Itachi, who loved sweets, suffered all his life.

He witnessed the cruelty of the battlefield at a young age and was forced to grow up.

The misunderstanding between father and son gradually deepened, causing Itachi to close his heart.

It was not until later that he met Uchiha Shisui, who became like a brother to him. His Hokage-like thinking made him determined to change the current situation of the village and family together with Shisui.

But unfortunately, after Shisui committed suicide in front of Itachi, Itachi's inner pillar collapsed directly. The conflict with his father Fugaku and the Hokage-style thinking made him unconsciously more inclined towards the Third Hokage and Danzo.

In addition, after awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan, Itachi became more and more paranoid, which led to Itachi being brainwashed by the Third Hokage and Danzo, and deciding to exterminate the Uchiha clan and leave his younger brother Sasuke alone.

However, now, although Itachi has opened the Mangekyō Sharingan, he has not had time to report this to the Third Hokage and Danzo. Now is a good time to intercept him.

As long as he could successfully break Itachi's defense at this time, he could turn it into a sharp blade in his hand and control it by himself.

Two figures flashed quickly in the forest behind them and finally stood behind Qianye.

"All sit down."

Itachi and Fugaku sat on either side of Chiya.

Looking at the waterfall in front of him reminded Itachi of Shisui's suicide.

Ever since Fugaku learned about Qianye's words at the clan meeting, he had been thinking about it before coming here. According to Qianye's thoughts, the family had no way out, but it seemed that Qianye already had a countermeasure.

If there was a way for the village and the family to live in peace, he would naturally not want to draw his blade against his compatriots in the future.

"Qian Ye, what method are you going to use to help the family get out of this predicament?"

Itachi spoke first, wanting to find out the truth.

Qianye frowned after hearing this and looked towards Itachi on the right:

"Uchiha Itachi, you should first recognize your own problem."

"Me? What's wrong with me?"

Itachi was a little confused for a moment when asked by Qianye, and looked at Fugaku who was sitting on Qianye's left.

Fugaku felt Itachi's gaze and fixed his eyes on the waterfall in front of him, constantly reminding himself that he must cooperate with Qianye and perform the play well. Now the only hope of the clan is Qianye, and he must cooperate well.

Qianye silently stretched out his right hand and slapped his forehead, his heart full of complaints about Fugaku. Alas, he shouldn't have had too much hope. As expected, he still had to do it himself. Forget about relying on Fugaku. It would be too difficult for him.

"Answer me a few questions, Itachi."

"Why did the Uchiha and the Senju found Konoha?"

"What's your last name?"

"Who raised you?"

"What did Shisui say to you last?"

Chiba threw these questions directly to Itachi. Except for the first question, Itachi felt that the other questions were nonsense, but Itachi still suppressed the doubts in his heart and answered them.

"Uchiha and Senju founded Konoha naturally for peace."

"My last name is Uchiha, and my father and mother raised me."

"Shisui told me at the end to protect the village and the name of the Uchiha clan."

Qianye shook his head again and again after hearing this, but fortunately, at least Itachi still knew that he was raised by his parents. Coupled with his own ability of words, there should be a great chance that he can rescue Itachi from the brainwashing of Danzo and the Third Hokage.

It was not until Fugaku heard Itachi's acquiescence that he was forced to believe that Shisui committed suicide just to ease the conflict between his family and the village. However, he did not expect that the conflict not only did not weaken, but intensified.

"Itachi, you are wrong. The Uchiha and Senju joined forces to establish Konoha not for peace, but to protect their people."

"Also, you misinterpreted Shisui's last words."

"Protect the village and the name of the Uchiha clan."

“That’s the correct way to understand it.”
