**Chapter 48: The Rampaging Fugaku**

The arrogant words made the Uchiha clan's faces darken.

Daring to be so arrogant in front of the Uchiha? Other than a dead person, who else would dare?

When they fully understood the content of those words, they all wanted to lose control.

Daring to call them the "evil Uchiha" to their faces? You must die! Unless Hashirama Senju were alive, no one could save you!

But!

When they saw who it was, they were left speechless.

Their anger dissipated instantly, and their gazes softened.

It was Uchiha Itsuki!

Alright then!

One of their own!

That notorious troublemaker Itsuki.

If it's him, then there's no problem.

This guy—what words wouldn't he dare say?

What wouldn't he dare do?

Initially, everyone couldn't bring themselves to like this troublemaker and even felt a bit of disdain towards him.

But now, things were different.

No matter how they looked at him, he seemed handsome!

Some of the women even wanted to take a photo with him.

Why?

Because Itsuki beat up Danzo.

They had all heard about it—how Itsuki slapped Danzo twice in front of many jonin.

Is there anything more satisfying than that?

It was so satisfying it felt like one's soul could leave their body.

Not to mention, Itsuki also took out more than ten Root ninjas.

A hero!

Itsuki was a hero of the Uchiha!

The tense atmosphere instantly dissipated.

"You bastard, what are you doing?"

The Uchiha who had just been kicked couldn't help but roar when he saw Itsuki.

"Huh, it's actually you, Brother Kaima!"

Itsuki said in surprise, "What happened to your face? Did someone beat you up? Come on, tell me whose bed you snuck into this time."

"Get lost!"

"What do you mean 'again'? When did I ever sneak into someone else's bed?"

The Uchiha looked angry and glared hatefully at Itsuki.

This was Uchiha Kaima!

A newly promoted jonin in the Uchiha clan.

He had some family ties with Itsuki as well.

As Itsuki would say, his grandfather and Kaima's grandfather shared the same grandfather.

Their families lived close to each other.

So, the two had always gotten along well, and Itsuki had helped Kaima a lot on his path to becoming a jonin in his twenties.

Itsuki smirked and said, "What are you pretending for? Didn't you sneak into a man's bed last time? I saw it with my own eyes! You looked all shy, kept saying 'No, I don't want to...'"

"Shut up!" Kaima shouted angrily, "It was you who stripped me and threw me onto that bastard's bed! And I think you knocked him out too."

"'No, I don't want to...' If I didn't say 'No, I don't want to,' should I have said 'Yes, I like it'? If I didn't say 'No, I don't want to,' should I have said 'Yes, I want it'?"

Itsuki sneered, "Ha, so you put your pants back on and pretend it didn't happen? Well, you did get what you wanted, after all."

"Itsuki, you bastard!"

The other Uchiha silently watched and listened, winking at each other.

Especially the women, their eyes were sparkling.

**So interesting!**

**So fascinating!**

Keep going!

Don't stop!

When Uchiha Itsuki isn't causing trouble for them, it's quite enjoyable to watch the drama unfold.

Uchiha Kaima is also a proud man, usually very arrogant.

It's rare to see him in such a miserable state!

And these are all jonin!

Seeing jonin in such a situation, these chunin couldn't be happier.

"What's going on?"

"What are you all doing?"

A stern shout rang out.

Fugaku walked over with a frown, glaring at a few people before turning to Itsuki, clearly hesitant to speak.

He was just short of directly saying: It's you again!

Can't you behave for just one day?

Itsuki frowned at Fugaku and said, "It's you again. Can't you just behave for one day? Why are you always hanging around in front of me?"

Fugaku: "..."

Damn it, do you have mind-reading abilities or something?

Do you have Yamanaka blood in you?

Or maybe the Mangekyō ability you awakened is related to mind-reading?

Fugaku took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, saying, "I don't want to see you either, so Uchiha Itsuki, could you please not cause any trouble?"

Itsuki rolled his eyes and said, "What trouble did I cause? Did I beat up your son, or... Mikoto-nee?"

Fugaku felt his fist clench instantly.

Damn it, why do you keep bringing up my wife?

If you dare make a move on my wife, I swear I'll kill you!

Even if you're Kagami's grandson, even if you were Kagami himself, I'd still kill you.

He turned his head away, no longer looking at the infuriating Itsuki, and instead focused on Kaima, saying, "What's going on?"

Kaima, who still had respect for Fugaku, slightly lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "There was a very strong chakra fluctuation here, so I brought people to check it out."

Recently, things had been unstable.

So!

Uchiha Fugaku had ordered all jonin to lead a team and patrol the clan grounds.

After all, the duties of the Konoha Police Force could not be neglected.

Deploying a large number of personnel had already significantly impacted the Uchiha.

They could only rely on those outside the police force now.

Kaima continued, "You should remember, this is an abandoned underground warehouse. During the Shinobi World War, it was temporarily used as a dungeon to hold prisoners. It's not important, but it's easy to hide people here."

Fugaku nodded slightly and was about to speak when Itsuki interrupted.

"How could he not know!"

Itsuki said with a playful smile, "Wasn't this location chosen by his father? By the way, where was our old clan grounds again?"

Silence!

The area fell silent.

People who had been secretly laughing.

People who had been whispering.

Now, everyone was quiet.

Because Itsuki's words touched on a forbidden topic.

As one of the original founding clans of Konoha, how could the Uchiha be located on the outskirts of the village?

It was because of the Konoha Police Force!

After the Second Hokage created the Konoha Police Force, it was almost as if he openly forced the Uchiha to the outskirts.

At that time, the one who agreed to the Second Hokage's decision was none other than Uchiha Fugaku's father!

Fugaku turned his head, coldly glaring at Itsuki. At this moment, he truly felt a murderous intent.

Itsuki's words were almost a direct accusation against Fugaku's father.

As a son, how could Fugaku tolerate this?

"Angry?"

Itsuki continued to smile warmly at Fugaku.

"Huff!"

Fugaku forcefully suppressed his anger, exhaling sharply before coldly saying, "I know everyone is unhappy, so…"

"So, I hope we can bring about change!"

Itsuki spoke up, cutting Fugaku off.

He looked at Fugaku, then at the other Uchiha present, his voice calm.

"We all hate the fact that our clan grounds were relocated. But what about the old clan leader?"

"Everyone, when you're angry at the old clan leader, I hope you'll also think about this: Did the old clan leader really want to take the Uchiha and leave the grounds where we lived for so long?"

"If he didn't want to, then why did he do it?"

"Because he had no choice!"

"Huh?"

Fugaku was taken aback, looking at Itsuki in surprise.

Was this… an attempt to excuse his father?

Itsuki's voice became gentle as he continued, "Everyone, think about it carefully. Sometimes, the person who makes the decision needs the most courage, and at the same time, they're also the one who suffers the most!"

"As the clan leader, he knew full well that what lay ahead was humiliation, yet he still had to lead everyone forward."

"In this regard, I admire the old clan leader."

"If it were me, I couldn't have done it!"

Seeing the thoughtful expressions on the faces of many Uchiha and Fugaku's softened expression, Itsuki thought for a moment, then leaned in close to Fugaku's ear and whispered, "You didn't actually believe that, did you? Did you really think your dad was that great?"

Fugaku's expression stiffened instantly!

He was wrong after all!

Uchiha Itsuki is infuriating!
