The captain of the patrol team looked at the direction Uchiha Tunan was leaving and fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, the teammate next to him patted his shoulder and said: "Captain, what are you thinking about?"

The captain was surprised and sighed: "It's nothing, I just don't know whether some things are right or wrong."

The team member looked slightly sad and sighed: "Actually, you guessed it, right?"

Several people were silent for a long time. They wanted to say something, but they swallowed it back.

In the end it was the captain who spoke:

"Don't make any noise, this is just speculation after all."

Outside the ancestral hall.

More than a dozen members of the security team were guarding all directions, keeping the entire ancestral hall extremely tightly guarded.

Uchiha Tunan came to the door and stopped, breathing heavily, and said loudly:

"How's Shisui doing?"

The guard member at the door said coldly:

"Shisui is fine, he has awakened his Sharingan."

Uchiha Tunan immediately exclaimed in disbelief:

"What! He awakened the Sharingan?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the cry coming from the ancestral hall was obviously stopped.

After saying that, Uchiha Tunan was about to enter the ancestral hall.

However, the security team members at the door tried to stop him.

Uchiha Tunan looked anxious and said: "Let me in."

"Let Tunan come in." The great elder's voice came from the ancestral hall.

Uchiha Tunan just walked into the ancestral hall.

Then he saw seven corpses covered with white cloth in the ancestral hall.

The parents of these dead children knelt beside the bodies of their children.

Either cry loudly or cry deeply.

Uchiha Fugaku and the Great Elder were kneeling and sitting at the very back.

Zhisui was currently lying in the arms of the great elder, sobbing non-stop.

These children are all his best playmates, but now they are all lying on the ground unconscious.

The young Shisui suddenly lost his friend, and the pain in his heart was no less than that of others.

The atmosphere in the entire hall was very gloomy, with several women sobbing sadly.

The great elder looked down at Shisui, then looked up at Uchiha Tunan who walked in.

A trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes, but in order to avoid conflicts, the great elder covered up that look.

At this time, the great elder was very suspicious that Uchiha Tunan was optimistic about Shisui's talent and wanted to use the death of his companions to stimulate Shisui to awaken his Sharingan.

This will allow Shisui to grow quickly.

But this is just suspicion after all, and even if Uchiha Tunan really did it, it would be difficult for the Great Elder to expose it.

After all, there is nothing wrong with Uchiha Tunan doing this.

If you want to strengthen the Uchiha clan, you can still tolerate a small sacrifice.

The great elder immediately said in a deep voice: "Tunan, you are here."

Uchiha Tunan frowned and glanced at the corpses on the ground. Lying on the cold ground were small bodies.

There was a deep look of intolerance in his eyes, and then he bowed to Uchiha Fugaku and the Great Elder:

"Clan leader."

"Great Elder."

Then, he immediately asked:

"Clan leader, have you found out who did it?"

Uchiha Fugaku said with a solemn expression: "The people in the clan are still investigating. There are no clues yet. It is possible that this is just an accident."

As soon as the words fell, the parents of several children all raised their heads, their eyes widened with disbelief on their faces.

The parent of one of the children immediately said sadly:

"Patriarch! All seven children drowned. You said it was an accident.

It has been sunny these past few days, but there has been no flooding."

Uchiha Fugaku was slightly startled. He just said that there was a possibility of accidents out of a rigorous attitude.

However, when I think about the death of children of these tribesmen, I am so emotional that I have no intention of blaming them.

"This matter requires further careful investigation. Don't be too sad. Find a time to bury the children."

Perhaps those parents heard what Uchiha Tunan said outside the ancestral hall just now.

One of the parents raised his head and stared directly at the elder and said:

"Great Elder, I have a question. Did Shisui go to the river today?"

The elder raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and roughly guessed the parent's intention in asking this question. He nodded and said, "I went, but I took Shisui away."

As soon as he finished speaking, several other parents also raised their heads and looked at the elder with suspicion.

The great elder suddenly picked up Zhisui, and several companions who happened to be playing with Zhisui had an accident.

If the great elder did not do this, then he must know something.

"Great Elder, I want to ask you why you suddenly took Shisui away."

Several parents pressed the question together, and the elder did not know what to say.

Do you mean that you suspect that Tunan is going to attack Zhisui?

Can you say this?

Not only would no one believe him, but it would also make Uchiha Tunan hate him.

You will only be displeased on both sides.

The great elder coughed lightly and said, "That's because Shisui's homework hasn't been completed yet."

Suddenly, a parent said coldly to Zhishui:

"Shisui, is what your grandfather said true?"

Zhisui heard someone asking him, turned around and wiped his tears and nodded:

"Really."

"Then what did you do when you went home?"

As soon as this question was asked, the elder's heart skipped a beat and he quickly looked at Zhisui, hoping that he wouldn't talk nonsense.

Shisui suddenly had doubts in his mind.

He hadn't noticed it just now, but now he remembered that his grandfather had lied.

Why did grandpa lie?

Uchiha Shisui immediately raised his head and looked at the great elder.

However, the great elder couldn't give Shisui any hints in front of everyone, but his face was slightly gloomy.

This is also the case for anyone whose lies are about to be exposed, let alone Uchiha.

Seeing that his grandfather didn't give him any warning, and since he was unwilling to lie from the bottom of his heart, Zhisui told the truth hesitantly.

So Rourou said weakly: "I...I went to sleep."

As soon as these words came out, the parents approached the great elder at the same time and glared at the great elder.

"Great Elder, your Shisui is very talented, and he has awakened the double magatama."

The great elder felt the hostility of everyone, and immediately became serious, and shouted:

"Shut up, you are doubting me."

"Don't dare."

"We just want the truth."

"Our child died tragically, and we need an explanation no matter what."

Seeing that the situation was not right, Uchiha Fugaku hurriedly pulled away the parents and tried to persuade them:

"The truth has not been found out yet.

I also understand your feelings, but you can't jump to conclusions just because of speculation.

Don’t worry, I will definitely investigate this matter and give you an explanation.

Let’s bury the children first.”

"Okay..."

Seeing what Uchiha Fugaku said, although everyone felt unwilling to do so, they did not dare to do anything to the elder since they did not have sufficient evidence.

After all, the most powerful people in the Uchiha clan are the Great Elder and Uchiha Fugaku.

They are not high-ranking members of the clan, so there will be no results if we continue to ask questions.
