One Piece: Start Fishing Thunder Fruit And Mangekyō

After Itachi left the training ground, he went directly to the Hokage office and reported what he saw and heard at the training ground to Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Marine Six Styles?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but frown when he heard Itachi's report.

He had also sent Anbu to track down and investigate the strange man who had recently appeared in the village.

But the result of Anbu's investigation was that he was just an ordinary person.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be deeply hidden.

"Is he strong in physical skills..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen muttered to himself.

"Itachi, do you think that man will be harmful to Konoha Village?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen came back to his senses and asked.

Itachi pondered for a moment and replied, "I'm not sure yet, Lord Third Generation."

"But after contacting him, I got some information."

"Um……"

Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered again.

"What message is it?"

he asked after a moment.

"He said that he came from the country of the sea, a very remote island country far overseas."

“It would take more than a year to reach just by sailing.”

"And in their hometown, everyone knows the Taijutsu called 'Marine Six Styles'..."

Itachi told all the information he had obtained through previous interactions with Lin Yan.

After listening, Sarutobi Hiruzen fell into deep thought again.

"Sir Third Generation, we may start from here to further investigate this man and see if the sea country he mentioned really exists."

"In addition, I will also closely monitor his movements."

Itachi explained.

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded.

"I will have people investigate the matter in Sea Country."

"In the future, I will also send more manpower to closely monitor Lin Yan 24 hours a day."

"Thank you for your hard work, Itachi."

Sarutobi Hiruzen showed approval and looked at the genius of the Uchiha clan in front of him.

"Then I will take my leave now, Lord Third Generation."

"Well, go ahead."

Itachi disappeared in a flash.

But instead of going back to the training ground to pick up his younger brother Sasuke, he went back to the Uchiha clan first.

After returning to the Uchiha tribe, Itachi found his father Uchiha Fugaku.

"Itachi?"

Uchiha Fugaku, who was communicating closely with several elite members of the Uchiha clan, turned around and looked at the door.

"come in."

Fugaku waved to Itachi.

At the same time, a amiable smile appeared on his face.

Itachi took off his shoes and walked in. He looked at the other elites and nodded in greeting.

Then he sat next to Fugaku.

"Recently, there have been more rumors against our Uchiha clan in the village."

"And the villagers have obviously become more hostile to us."

"The work of the security force is very difficult, which is not a good thing for the entire Uchiha clan, and even the entire Konoha Shinobi village."

"The duty of the security force is not only to maintain order and stability in the village, but also to prevent the invasion of external enemies."

"If our work cannot be carried out, it may cause the entire village to fall into crisis..."

"Itachi, you should also understand the pros and cons of this, right?"

One of the elite tribesmen reminded Itachi at this time.

His eyes were very sharp, like an eagle staring at its prey.

The tone contained not only a question, but also something else.

When Itachi heard these words, his heart moved slightly.

He just nodded and didn't speak.

"Since the end of the Third Ninja World War, our Uchiha clan has been jealous of the higher-ups because of our hard work and outstanding achievements. They have always thought that we are the masters of great achievements."

"In the subsequent Nine Tails incident, it was clear that the Uchiha clan did not directly participate in the battle because they received orders from the top of the village."

"But they finally dismissed it, saying that we, the Uchiha clan, controlled Nine Tails and attacked the village."

"Now even the villagers think we did it."

"How could things develop so quickly without the push and acquiescence of senior officials behind this?"

Another elite member of Uchiha reminded Itachi.

His words also made Itachi feel uncomfortable and even a little distressed.

At this time, Fugaku also said: "Itachi, are there any recent developments among the village's higher-ups?"

This was what made Itachi feel painful inside.

Although other elite tribesmen also have certain requirements for themselves.

But they often express it euphemistically.

Or complain to yourself, saying that the villagers have been unfriendly to Uchiha recently, etc.

Or just blame the top management for inaction.

As a result, the villagers of Konoha Village became increasingly hostile to the Uchiha clan.

The calls for rejection of the security forces are also getting louder.

However, the pressure put on him by the comments of these elites is far less than the pressure put on him by his father Fugaku at this moment.

Father Uchiha Fugaku, using his status as an Anbu member directly under the Hokage, has always asked himself to provide high-level intelligence to the family.

The education Itachi received from childhood was to be absolutely loyal to the village and to the Hokage.

No matter what happens in the village, everything must be based on the overall interests of Konoha.

But now his father's requirements for him are completely contrary to the above.

This put Itachi under great mental pressure.

In fact, he was very resistant inside.

But on one side are the interests of his father, his own tribe, and his own family.

On the other end are the village's senior officials, his boss who is always loyal and protective, and the interests of the village.

When the two conflicted with each other, Itachi fell into confusion.

He didn't know which side he should be on.

It seems that no matter what choice you make, it will hurt the other party.

If you remain neutral, you will not be able to solve the problem.

Itachi felt extremely painful.

For a moment, I didn't know how to respond to my father.

Seeing that his son remained silent for a long time, Fugaku, as a father, instead of asking why, urged: "Itachi? Did you hear what I just said?"

Itachi came out of his distracted state as if he was electrocuted.

He replied calmly: "Not yet..."

"There won't be any action in the village recently. Mr. Third Generation and other senior officials are very calm."

"They did not order any action against the Uchiha clan, nor were there any other abnormalities..."

Itachi explained further.

This made Fugaku a little doubtful.

Several other elite clan members also looked at Itachi with glaring eyes.

"During this period, please focus on monitoring the higher-ups, Itachi."

Fugaku took a deep breath and patted Itachi's shoulder nonchalantly.
