Chapter 138: The Death of the Ninja.

Time flies, and another half a year has passed. During this half year, Satoru has rarely carried out tasks with Itachi and the others, because Satoru now fully trusts Itachi's strength. Only a few high-difficulty tasks require Satoru to lead the team personally.

But in this half year, Satoru only led the team twice. When Satoru didn't lead the team, Itachi acted as the captain of the entire team, and Tenma and Shinko always obeyed Itachi's words.

However, at this time, there was basically no smile on Itachi's face.

For some reason, the conflict between the Uchiha clan and the village suddenly increased a lot recently, as if a conflict could break out at any time.

Perhaps because of the conflict between the clan and the village, Itachi now rarely takes on tasks. Tenma and Shinko also know Itachi's current state of mind. Going on a mission can only increase the danger, so Tenma and Shinko did not urge. Just right, when there is no task, it is considered a holiday.

"Satoru-sensei, what should I do now?"

In Hatake Satoru's home, Itachi knelt in front of Hatake Satoru, his face full of painful expressions. These days, conflicts between the Uchiha clan and other villagers occur every day.

Every day, Itachi feels particularly hard. He doesn't know how to improve this situation. It was not so bad a while ago, but now it seems like a big hand is pushing this matter to develop behind the scenes.

"At present, all the elders in the clan are also discussing the rebellion. I want to stop it, but I don't have the ability."

Itachi's fists clenched tightly, as if expressing the pain and unwillingness in his heart.

Tears have flowed from Itachi's eyes. This is the first time Satoru has seen Itachi cry. Even if the training was hard in the past, and he was seriously injured in the mission, Itachi never cried.

Now Itachi is crying, it can be imagined how much pain he must be in his heart now.

He doesn't want a war to break out between the clan and the village. He doesn't want villagers and his clansmen to die because of the war. But now there are only two choices in front of him, one is to stand on the side of the clan and fight against the village together, and the other is to stand on the side of the village and fight against the clan together.

But no matter which side he stands on, Itachi will have to bear the name of a traitor.

Suddenly, Itachi's back of his head suddenly felt a force, and before he could react, he felt his vision go dark.

"Do whatever you want to do, no matter what you do, I will support you, I will always stand by your side, because you are my disciple."

Satoru touched Itachi's head and pressed his head into his arms.

Feeling this warm embrace, Satoru felt much more at ease. He had forgotten when he last experienced this warmth.

Itachi stayed in Satoru's arms for a long time before he lifted his head again.

"I know what to do, Satoru-sensei."

Itachi looked at Hatake Satoru with a determined face.

He just needs to follow his inner thoughts. Because he knows that all the obstacles he encounters will be solved by his teacher.

Satoru has no right to interfere in the affairs of the Uchiha clan, and he doesn't want to interfere in the affairs of the Uchiha clan. But whoever dares to hurt his disciples, he will definitely make the other party pay the price.

Although Satoru has been staying at home recently and not going out, he knows that there must be someone behind him pushing this matter to deepen the conflict between the Uchiha clan and the village. Otherwise, the originally settled situation would not suddenly erupt so quickly.

"Then I want to leave, Satoru-sensei."

"Well, remember, I have always been your strong shield."

When Itachi opened the door, he found Kakashi standing at the door.

Itachi simply greeted Kakashi and left immediately.

And at this time, a look of envy appeared on Kakashi's face.

"What's wrong, Kakashi, are you envious? Do you want to come into my brother's arms? My brother's arms are very warm."

A smirk appeared on Satoru's face, and he opened his arms to Kakashi.

Kakashi, who was indeed a bit envious just now, was speechless when he saw Hatake Satoru's appearance.

"I just wanted to tell you that the conflict between the Uchiha clan and the village seems to have reached an irreconcilable point."

Kakashi said this sentence while resisting the urge to beat up Satoru.

He came to remind Satoru specially. If Satoru were an ordinary Jonin and his disciple were an ordinary person from the Uchiha clan, it would be fine, but unfortunately, Satoru's disciple is the child of the Uchiha clan leader and the first genius in the history of the Uchiha clan, and Satoru is not an ordinary Jonin.

So for which side Satoru will stand on, the elders of Konohagakure are quite concerned.

"Oh? What happened?"

The expression on Satoru's face became serious instantly. Since Kakashi had already said so, something irreversible must have happened.

"A ninja in the village died. The cause of death was due to Genjutsu. In the ninja world, there are few people who can kill people with Genjutsu, but most of these people are from the Uchiha clan.

Although there is no evidence at the scene pointing to the murderer as the Uchiha clan, for us, finding out the truth is just a matter of time. The clan leader of the Yamanaka clan has already started to check the other party's memory."

Although Kakashi didn't say things absolutely, everyone knew that it was the Uchiha clan. Although there are many ninjas in the ninja world who are proficient in Genjutsu, there should also be those who can kill people with Genjutsu, but the ninja died in Konohagakure village, it is impossible to be a foreign ninja, it can only be one's own people.

"Although there may be others behind this incident."

After all, the direction is too obvious, the cause of death is like deliberately telling others that it is the Uchiha clan's hand.

"But now the Uchiha clan is the scapegoat, Hokage-sama will not ignore this matter, next, it is really possible to start a war with the Uchiha clan."

Although this news has not spread yet, but it is known to everyone, it is only a matter of time. When Itachi returned to the clan, there were many ninjas on the road looking at Itachi's figure full of anger and jealousy. Obviously, such people are people who know this matter.

After this matter is completely spread, if ordinary villagers know it, what kind of situation will happen, it can be said to be well known.

The Uchiha clan will definitely become the target of everyone's shouting on the street.

Itachi naturally also noticed the gaze of some people, and then quickly ran towards the clan's territory. He didn't know why, but he now has a sense of ominous premonition in his heart.

When he returned home and found that his father and several elders were there, he knew that something big might have really happened.
