The noisy phone ringing kept ringing in the dark room.
"Husband, there may be something urgent. I'll go pick it up." A gentle and gentle woman's voice sounded in the darkness.
"What other urgent matter is there? Have you forgotten that I am nothing anymore?"
Pa da~
The switch sounded, and the dark room was illuminated by lights.
Uchiha Fugaku had an unshaven beard, two dark circles under his eyes, a greasy face, and a tired look.
"Let's take it. What if it's Elder Setsuna Uchiha?"
"Hahaha, that old guy will call me?"
"Maybe he wants to cancel the arrest of Itachi."
Uchiha Fugaku sat up from the bed and glared: "You secretly went to find that old immortal yesterday?!"
"If you don't go to him to intercede, are you really going to watch that kid Itachi get arrested?!"
After Uchiha Mikoto finished speaking, she turned her back and secretly wiped away her tears.
"Asshole! Stupid woman, do you know this will make me more embarrassed!"
"Which one is more important, Itachi, or your face!" Uchiha Mikoto said with red eyes: "Itachi has become what he is now, which has a lot to do with you as a father!"
When Uchiha Fugaku heard this, he lowered his head in despair, and most of the anger that supported him was gone.
Uchiha Mikoto grabbed the phone. Listening to the voice on the other end of the phone, her heart skipped a beat. The knuckles of her fingers holding the phone turned white as she wanted to hang up.
but......
"Mrs. Mikoto, Itachi-kun is staying at my house temporarily.
Although he has a Hokage mentality, he is still a child after all, and it would be too cruel for him to have a family and not be able to return."
"If Fugaku-kun is at home, please ask him to answer the phone. I have a way to bring Itachi-kun back to the family!
And I guarantee that your husband and children can still stand in the sunshine and accept the love of the tribe as they did in the past."
Uchiha Mikoto's expression was uncertain. In the end, her love for her husband and children overcame everything else.
"Husband, this is Hokage-sama's phone number."
Uchiha Fugaku narrowed his eyes and didn't want to answer.
But then he thought about how he had worked hard for the family for so many years, and finally his child was wanted by the family, and he became the first patriarch to be demoted due to impeachment. Anger rose in his heart.
Qianye's face, Uchiha Setsuna's face, and the sneers of his tribe kept reappearing in his mind.
These were like fuel, making his anger no longer suppressable and completely burning the last cord in his heart.
Uchiha Fugaku got out of bed and walked to his wife's side and took the phone.
Uchiha Mikoto looked at the other party's cold and indifferent expression, and suddenly felt a little strange.
"Hokage-sama, I am Fugaku. What instructions do you have?"
"Fugaku, you know the strength of Konoha. The civil war will indeed cause great damage to Konoha's vitality, but the Uchiha clan will completely disappear from the ninja world from now on."
"You and I have been working hard for peace, but there is always a group of people who are trying their best to destroy the results of our efforts!"
"We are all former companions. Just because I don't want to take action doesn't mean I don't dare to take action!"
"My patience has reached its limit," Sarutobi Hiruzen said iron-bloodedly on the other end of the phone: "I will give you and the Uchiha clan behind you two choices now."
"1. Konoha's vitality is severely damaged, and Uchiha is removed from the ninja world."
"2. List out the radical fighting factions and send them away from Konoha.
I swear on the honor of the Sandaime Hokage that I will forget everything Uchiha has done before."
After Sarutobi Hiruzen finished speaking, he paused for a few seconds and said sincerely:
"Fugaku, when the radical fighting faction leaves, you will still be the respected clan leader, and this child Itachi will be the future clan leader and your successor.
Use practical actions to prove to Setsuna Uchiha who is right!"
This sentence seemed to have some kind of magic power and penetrated into his heart.
Uchiha Fugaku closed his eyes, his face struggling.
After a long time, he opened his eyes, and in the scarlet eyes, the black magatama suddenly changed.
There is a black ring in the middle, and three magatama stretch and extend, turning into curved black lines, connecting the rings to form a dark pattern that looks like a dart.
At the end of the dart, there are three black dots, like satellites.
He once again saw a corner of the future.
After the radical faction within the family was expelled, peace came to both the family and Konoha.
That bloody night completely changed!
As for seeing the Uchiha leaving in the child arts being slaughtered by Konoha, Fugaku was indifferent.
That's their own choice!
It was they who abandoned him as the patriarch first!
Two lines of blood and tears flowed from his eyes, and Uchiha Fugaku's vision worsened.
"Hokage-sama, I choose the second one, but I have one condition - hand over Shimura Danzo!"
Now it was Sarutobi Hiruzen's turn to make a choice.
Danzo stood next to Sarutobi Hiruzen, opened his mouth and said silently: "Promise him."
"Okay, no problem! I promise you!"
"Fugaku, time will prove your choice."
After finishing speaking, the phone was hung up, and a busy tone came from the receiver.
Uchiha Fugaku's stiff cheek muscles twitched and he laughed. The blood and tears on his face made him look like a ghost.
...
The radio sounded for the third time.
"Fellow compatriots, I am Uchiha Fugaku. I know that you are dissatisfied with Konoha's current regime, and so am I."
"But!" Uchiha Fugaku paused and said, "We are well aware of the power of Konoha."
"The chance of winning a coup is very low, so low that it is almost invisible. If you hit it, you will only get a bloody head."
“Before, we had no choice, we had to have a coup to survive!
Now there is a new way out, and Lord Hokage is willing to let it go.
My compatriots, instead of dying in vain, why not leave Konoha and use your hands to open up a new ninja village?"
"Those who are willing to stay, don't worry that Hokage-sama will cause trouble for everyone again. He just staked the reputation of Hokage and will never pursue what happened in the past!"
In order to increase the credibility of his words, Uchiha Fugaku said on the radio: "And the Hokage has promised me to hand over Shimura Danzo and cooperate with our clan to investigate the truth about Shisui's death!"
After hearing Uchiha Fugaku's "Letter to Compatriots", Qianye's shadow clone who stayed in Konoha frowned, knowing something was wrong.
This move was so cruel that it directly destroyed the situation he had worked so hard to establish.
Who would be willing to risk their family's fortune and life when they can survive and have other options?
After all, the timeline Qianye traveled through was too urgent. Without a long period of hard work, who would drag his family and leave Konoha with him, heading towards an uncertain future?
Uchiha's beard trembled with anger and he cursed loudly.
"Idiot! This idiot Uchiha Fugaku is even stupider than a domestic pig! He even believes such nonsense!"
"Elder Setsuna, our former clan leader is not stupid. He just once again chose to sacrifice the family's interests for his own benefit."
"Our top priority now is to urgently convey the information here to the main body to buy him time!"
