Chapter 21 If you don't move, you won't have a house where your son gets married
Since Itachi was injured during the battle practice, today's training could only end hastily.
After returning to the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Shisui's face became serious.
Everyone they met had a sad look on their face, and they no longer had the usual enthusiasm when meeting the two Uchiha geniuses.
"Something must have happened at the gathering at Nanga Shrine..." Zhisui clenched his fists and whispered: "I should have attended... I can't be absent anymore..."
"I'm sorry, Shisui, I shouldn't have pestered you to train together in the afternoon." Uchiha Itachi pulled at his injured arm, feeling a little itchy.
"Well, how can I blame you? It's my own fault." Zhisui calmed the little boy's emotions and rolled up his sleeves for him: "I will send you home first, and then go to the jounin of the clan and ask in detail.
Find out what happened at the rally!"
"I will go with you…"
"Gah..."
Kitahara knocked on Itachi's head. If it was a question about the Uchiha clan gathering... Fugaku is the clan leader, so it would be better to ask him for more clarity than anyone else, right?
The cubs are really getting stupider as they are raised... They must have been infected by Sasuke!
The ruins caused by the Uchiha tribe during the night of the Nine-Tails Troubles have long been cleared. After a simple cleaning, it was obviously a little empty. Fugaku stood in an open space and looked around.
As the person with the heaviest responsibility in the clan, other clan members more or less showed their emotions on their faces, but Uchiha Fugaku had an expressionless face, as if he didn't care about anything.
It wasn't until he saw Uchiha Itachi and Shisui that a smile appeared on his face: "Itachi, you came back very early today..."
"dad!"
"Are you all at the practice field this afternoon? I'm still thinking that I didn't see Shisui at the rally today..." The old father looked at his son with relief, and then gave Shisui a grateful look.
My little friend, you are very interesting... In the entire Uchiha clan, the two most potential peers of the same age can get along well with each other, which is something everyone is happy to see.
Before his son could answer, his eyes suddenly stopped on Itachi's arm: "The arm...is burned?"
"...I'm really sorry...it's all my fault." Uchiha Shisui swallowed all the questions he wanted to ask. Let's first explain the afternoon's battle practice...
Because I wanted to test a new technique, but your son's current level was too low and he was accidentally injured by me. Instead, it was the crow he raised that helped me perfect the flaws of the new technique...
I always feel it’s hard to say it out loud!
Uchiha Itachi shook his arm and said: "It was caused during our ninja battle practice, and it has been bandaged, so it's okay."
The little boy was obviously better at talking. He kept the process vague in an understatement and focused on the results. It sounded like the ninja battle practice was just a small training process.
Kitahara saw through Itachi's little thoughts... He is really eloquent... Some ninjas stumble and cannot speak a word fluently... The crow glanced at Shisui cryptically.
Uchiha Fugaku smiled heartily: "Oh? As expected of my son, can he already practice fighting with Shisui?"
"..." Uchiha Itachi was really embarrassed to speak this time.
"Gah..."
The cub at home has been taken as a target... There is nothing worth bragging about...
Shisui awkwardly changed the topic: "By the way, Fugaku-senpai, did something happen at the gathering? I saw that many people in the clan... were not in a good mood?"
Some people can't speak, so don't speak...
Hearing Shisui's question, Uchiha Fugaku's good mood visibly faded: "There was a meeting in the village, and they asked us to move the clan territory to the area in the northeast corner... It seems that everyone knows this
News…”
"But isn't it true that Uchiha is further away from the village? And the relationship between our clan and the village is..."
Shisui was different from the indignation of other tribesmen after learning the news. He was clearly aware of the consequences of this incident, especially at this sensitive node.
"Shisui..." Fugaku interrupted him and continued: "The other big clans in the village have agreed."
I believe the young man can realize the unfinished meaning in his words... The Uchiha clan... was isolated by the entire village after the night of the Nine-Tails Troubles.
Seeing Shisui who was stunned on the spot, Fugaku did not continue to discuss the matter and gently took his son in his arms: "I will take Itachi home first."
"Goodbye, Shisui."
"Gah..."
The meeting of the upper management of Konoha regarding the reconstruction after the Nine-Tails Rebellion was a political game, or it could be said to be a tentative persecution against the Uchiha clan.
Once the police force launches a rebellion, the village will be wiped out quickly... Given the current situation in Konoha, many wealthy clans will not sit idly by, even the Aburame clan, which has the most marginal existence.
If the Uchiha agree to migrate, then boil the frog in warm water... Even if the Uchiha, isolated from the center of the village, launches a rebellion, they will be able to control the country by relying on ANBU in the future.
The upper echelons of Konoha understand this and naturally choose to stand together.
"Dad, are we moving?" Itachi Uchiha still doesn't understand the problem. He just wants to know if their family will really have a new house.
"Yeah..." Looking into his son's eyes, Fugaku suddenly chuckled and said, "Maybe...Itachi will like that place very much...I heard that a new training ground was built there."
"Great! Today's practice ground was severely damaged by Kitahara..."
"...Gah?"
Kitahara held the little boy's hair in his mouth, just to vent his anger on you...
To be honest, regardless of the strategic significance and the relationship with the village, the Uchiha clan does need a new residence...the population is increasing, and the houses are getting fewer and fewer.
The Fugaku family of four took a crow away. They still had two sons. As long as one of their children got married, their house would not be enough to live in...
The patriarch is really miserable...
Another clan leader of the Konoha wealthy clan, Hinata Hizashi, now lives in a big house by himself... In the future, he will have two daughters, even if they are both sons-in-law, it will be more than enough...
After Uchiha Mikoto learned the news that she was moving, she looked a little worried. Even if the new home would allocate houses according to population, it obviously couldn't make her happy.
"I have lived here for so long, and I feel a little reluctant to let go..."
"After all...we are still the same neighbors as before." Thinking about those neighbors made Fugaku feel very bad: "I'm going to have to work hard for you these days, so take your time to clean up..."
"Yes." Mikoto turned to look at her eldest son who was teasing her younger brother: "Itachi, I have to trouble you to look after my younger brother from now on..."
"good!"
After hearing their conversation, the crow flew up into the air and landed on Itachi's shoulder. Its red eyes looked fiercely at the infant Sasuke: "...Gah!"
"Pfft...pfft..."
Sasuke was not afraid at all and spat at the crow vigorously.
