Chapter 155: Farewell.

After being suppressed by Minato for many years, Danzo's form has become somewhat distorted. Now he has put his own interests first, and the interests of the village have been put second by him.

"You are courting disaster, Danzo."

Hiruzen still does not approve of Danzo's plan. Although he also knows that the chance of the Uchiha clan occupying Konohagakure village is almost zero, when the conflict arises, Konohagakure village will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and in the future, it will inevitably be taken advantage of by other villages.

"Hiruzen, I came here this time, not to let you join us, you just need to watch silently as before, without your intervention."

After saying that, Danzo left directly.

"Danzo, you are pushing yourself into the fire."

Seeing Danzo's increasingly distant figure, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed in his heart.

He suddenly felt that this old friend seemed to be leaving him too.

It must be said that Sarutobi Hiruzen is the smartest among all people, because only by doing nothing can he protect his own life.

And in the Uchiha clan's territory, Fugaku has been under house arrest at home, but he is sitting calmly on the side, his face does not show any panic.

"Mom, we won't be in trouble, will we?"

Sasuke hid in Mikoto's arms and said timidly. Itachi was not at home, and no one could give him a sense of security.

"Don't worry, Sasuke, dad will protect us."

Mikoto stroked Sasuke's hair and said kindly, but from her constantly frowning eyebrows, her heart seemed to be not very calm.

"Sasuke, you have to be brave, what kind of state is this? How can you be my child, compared with your brother, you are far behind."

Seeing Sasuke's posture, Fugaku frowned and said, perhaps because he had Uchiha Itachi, his eldest son, in advance, which led him to have high expectations for his younger son Sasuke, but every time, Sasuke would disappoint him.

"I'm sorry, father, I will try to become stronger."

Sasuke's weak voice rang in Fugaku's ears, but hearing this tone, Fugaku's anger became even greater.

But in an instant, Fugaku felt a murderous aura. After noticing Mikoto's eyes, he forcibly held back the words that were about to blurt out.

"Will there be any problems?"

Then, Mikoto also asked Fugaku.

"It's okay, what they are doing is nothing more than self-destruction. How can the foundation of Konohagakure be defended by a single clan?"

Hearing the conversation between the two, Sasuke stared at the two in a daze. Although he was not young, he had never cared about these political matters, so he didn't know what had happened.

Just then, a figure suddenly flashed in. Seeing the person, all three faces showed excited looks.

"Brother."

Sasuke shouted excitedly, the person was Uchiha Itachi. Sasuke quickly broke free from his mother's arms and ran towards Itachi.

"Brother, where have you been, I'm so scared."

Sasuke acted like a baby in Itachi's arms.

"I'm sorry, Sasuke, brother has to do a very important thing, you may have to work hard to go on your own in the future."

Itachi stared at Sasuke's face closely, his eyes seemed to contain many emotions. Then, he gently touched Sasuke's forehead with his finger, and the other party directly fell asleep.

Before falling asleep in that drowsy state, Sasuke saw Itachi's apologetic eyes and the tears filled in his eyes.

"Itachi, you?"

Seeing Itachi do this, both Mikoto and Fugaku showed a puzzled emotion on their faces.

Just seeing, after Itachi put Sasuke down, he directly knelt in front of Mikoto and Fugaku.

"Itachi, what are you doing?"

Seeing this scene, Mikoto couldn't sit still, she came directly to Itachi's side, wanting to pull him up, but how could she, a woman, be able to pull up the determined Itachi?

"I'm sorry, father, mother, in the future, I can't accompany you."

Itachi knocked his head on the floor, tears flowed uncontrollably, and his voice was full of choking.

"Did the Hokage issue any orders?"

Seeing this scene, Fugaku seemed to understand something, his voice trembled a bit, but it seemed that even he did not notice the change in his tone.

"Yes."

Then, Itachi laid out all the plans for his parents.

"Itachi, you've really suffered."

Fugaku closed his eyes, seemingly not wanting to see Itachi's state.

And Mikoto was holding Itachi on the side, silently shedding tears.

"I'm sorry, Itachi, it's our incompetence as parents that made you bear so much, bear these pains that you shouldn't bear."

"No, mom, I'm very grateful to you for giving me this life, and I'm also very grateful to you for giving me such a cute little brother."

After saying that, Itachi glanced at Sasuke who was sleeping on the side, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

"Itachi, no matter what, this is your home, you can come back whenever you want. As long as someone dares to stop you from coming home, then he will be the enemy of our Uchiha clan."

When he said this, Uchiha Fugaku's tone was very firm, and the Sharingan in his pupils also changed. It was no longer the usual Three Tomoe, but a sickle-like pattern appeared, and there were three black dots.

"Yes, father."

In the original work, the reason why Fugaku wanted to rebel was that he was oppressed by the village, and the village also pushed the responsibility of the Nine-Tails incident onto them. The Third Hokage did not stand on their side, so there was the rebellion led by Uchiha Fugaku.

But this time, the Nine-Tails incident Itachi Minato helped them clear their suspicions, and they did not move away from the village center like in the original work. Minato has always been maintaining the relationship between the two sides, so Fugaku did not have the idea of rebellion. After all, as the head of a clan, he has to consider the problems of the whole clan.

Except for a few hawks who feel that they are not living well, the lives of other Uchiha clan members in the village are quite satisfactory.

"But, with Shisui accompanying you, I can rest assured. But I still hope that you can open Mangekyou Sharingan as soon as possible. It's better to have the power to protect yourself than others have the power to protect you. I believe you have this talent."

"Yes, father."

In the original work, Itachi opened Mangekyou after witnessing Shisui's death, but now, Shisui did not die in front of him, so it is normal for Uchiha Itachi not to open Mangekyou Sharingan.

But whether it's Fugaku, Shisui, or Satoru, they all believe that Itachi will definitely reach the final step.
