Konoha Thief

Chapter 691 Reunion

"Is it the fireball technique?"

Uchiha Fugaku glanced at the second son, his eyes flickered, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Father, brother has been busy all the time, do you have time to guide me?"

Sasuke clenched his fists to gather courage, and his face was full of anticipation when he asked.

"I'm very busy now."

However, Uchiha Fugaku hesitated for a moment or refused, and then his eyes shifted from the second son to the eldest son.

"Take Sasuke and go out. When you come back, find me in the study. I have something to ask you."

"Yes, father." Itachi nodded.

Immediately, he took Sasuke and left the house.

Walking on the streets of the Uchiha clan, Itachi couldn't help but fell into deep thought, wondering what his father wanted to tell him, was it about those things in the clan?If so, should I persuade him to correct his tribe's dangerous thinking?

He was absorbed in thinking alone, but he didn't care about Sasuke's slightly resentful muttering.

After all, the younger brother is still a child, and he would complain about not getting his father's attention. Of course, as an older brother, he can only tolerate it, although he is not angry and even finds it funny.

Sasuke soon found out about this situation, but he was a little ashamed of being so careful, so he lowered his head and kicked the pebbles, but calmed down.

The two brothers kept quiet, and when they left the Uchiha clan, the atmosphere seemed to quietly become lively.

Of course Sasuke didn't notice this, just like he wasn't aware of the undercurrents in the clan, but Itachi was very sensitive to it, and he withdrew his thoughts, with an imperceptible look of disappointment flashing in his eyes.

He has set foot on the battlefield since he was a child, and he has a level of thinking that surpasses that of his clan. He is both disgusted and worried about the current situation in the clan, and even the place called the clan often makes him feel depressed and uncomfortable.

"Hoo!~"

Taking a deep breath, Itachi's eyes seemed to have a ray of light and vitality.

"There are a lot of people in the meatball shop."

Before entering the shop, the noisy atmosphere was revealed. Sasuke walked in with his lips pouted, and it turned out that the shop was already full of people.

"Guests, please wait for a while, I have neglected the guests, and there will be gifts in the small shop later."

Seeing the two brothers entering the store, the diligent clerk wiped off his sweat and greeted them with a smile.

"Thank you." Itachi nodded politely.

The customer's good temper made the clerk heave a sigh of relief. He glanced into the store, but found that there were no vacant seats, and he couldn't help but feel a little troubled.

"Don't bother, I saw someone I know."

Itachi's personality tends to be old-fashioned, of course he can see the embarrassment of the clerk, and it just so happens that he has already seen an acquaintance.

He is said to be an acquaintance, but he is actually closer than that, but since he was named a genius, he has been given higher expectations by the Uchiha clan, and he also hopes that one day he will have the opportunity to change the status quo, so instead of They became estranged without knowing it, and now they meet again here, only to feel a special feeling surging under their chest.

"Acquaintance? Where?"

Hearing Itachi's words, Sasuke began to search in the store, and then stopped on the girl with beautiful long black hair.

"Brother, is that her?" Sasuke looked at Itachi and asked, "There is Uchiha's family crest on the clothes."

"Well, let's go over and say hello."

Itachi touched Sasuke's head and led him over.

The girl sitting alone in the corner eating meatballs was lost in thought, thinking about the old days and the boy who was fading away in time.

And at this moment, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded in her ear, and there seemed to be a slight joy in the plain tone, but it seemed to be just an illusion.

"Long time no see, Fist."

The girl immediately raised her head to follow the sound, and her memory and reality merged together, making her feel like a dream had turned into reality, and she only responded subconsciously.

"Long time no see, Itachi-kun."

The teenagers and girls looked at each other and smiled, with inexplicable brilliance in their eyes, which was obviously different from the past.

……

Sasuke is very serious about training today, but it is very difficult to learn the fireball technique, and his chakra is not enough to perform this move. Of course, there is another very important reason, that is, my brother only cares about chatting with friends. So he was not seriously instructed, so he didn't learn.

That's right, that's it!
Hearing that his brother had successfully learned the skill of the fireball once, he would never admit that his talent was worse than that of his brother.

So when he got home, no matter how his mother asked him, he didn't say that today's cultivation was not going well, especially in front of his father with a serious expression.

However, due to the exhaustion of chakra, his appetite was surprisingly good during dinner, and he even ate two large bowls of rice in a row.

As night fell, in the dead of night, Itachi came outside the study and was about to knock on the door.

"come in."

Before he knocked down, Uchiha Fugaku's voice came from inside.

"Yes."

He responded, opened the door and walked in.

The light in the study was dim, shining on Uchiha Fugaku, and then casting a shadow on the wall.

"Wait for me for a while, this is the end." Uchiha Fugaku said without raising his head.

Itachi didn't want to disturb him when he heard the words, but just waited silently, his eyes casually glanced at the scattered scrolls on the desk, and the content on them made his pupils constrict involuntarily.

Words like "elders", "secret meeting", "signs" and "seen with my own eyes" came into view, making him think of the situation in the clan involuntarily.

What my father was looking at at this time was obviously the latest situation report in the clan, and as a ninja who had already entered Anbu, he certainly knew that if he wanted to collect these, someone must do it specially. It was just that his father collected these, or more directly, his father monitored them. What are the intentions and thoughts of the dynamics within the clan?

Thoughts were surging in his heart, but the surface remained calm as usual, quietly waiting for Fu Yue to finish reading the scroll in his hand.

Uchiha Fugaku looked at the information in the scroll quietly, not missing a single word, but the more he looked at him, the tighter his frown became, and the darker his eyes became.

The real power in the clan is controlled by the First Elder. Although he is the head of the Uchiha, even the Second Elder and the Third Elder can tell him what to do, and he only has the right to make suggestions on major matters. Absorption depends on the meaning of the Great Elder.

But even so, he can still accept it. After failing without accident in the selection process of the fourth generation in the past, his desire for power has been extinguished, but he never imagined that the Great Elder bypassed him in plotting matter.

As the patriarch of Uchiha, he didn't have all the power, but he always took the responsibility. Now that the Great Elder bypassed him and led Uchiha to a dangerous path, he was finally out of anger.
