: Undercurrent

Morning in Konoha.

The long-awaited sunshine shines in every corner of Konoha. The warm light dispels the coldness of last night and warms the dawn that shines on everyone.

But at this moment, no one in the Uchiha clan can enjoy this pleasant morning.

The tribesmen walked on the streets of the tribe in twos and threes, and a dull and depressing atmosphere enveloped everyone’s heart.

The ninjas who were about to go to the battlefield also said their final farewells to their families. This scene seemed very heavy and sentimental.

Among the crowd, only a few young people who were still ignorant of the war still had “innocent” smiles on their faces.

Being young and ignorant, they were completely unaware of the cruelty of war.

In the hearts of these young people, they even dreamed that they could make contributions on the front line and become famous.

But most of the tribesmen are content to be ordinary, with depression written all over their faces.

The silent eyes of the old father, the reluctant crying of the mother, the ignorant eyes of the children, and everything about the family made them look heavy as they were about to go on an expedition.

The battlefield is ruthless. After this trip, no one can guarantee that they will come back alive.

This was a farewell to life and death, but even so, when they faced the sadness of their families, these brave ninjas still tried their best to wear a fake smile.

The sun was clearly shining on the ground, but no one felt a trace of warmth.

When the clan members were feeling extremely depressed, there was only one person who felt very good at this moment!

————

Uchiha clan, Uchiha Fugaku family.

In the study room.

At this time, Uchiha Fugaku, with his chest straightened, was sitting upright in his study, practicing calligraphy.

This man with a fierce face has never stopped raising the corners of his mouth since yesterday.

Just like the brilliant beam of light coming in from the window, his mood was also exceptionally bright.

There are many reasons for his brilliance. For example, the third generation personally stood up for him, which made this man with a fierce face who had always longed to be accepted by the top management excited inside.

Another example is Uchiha Setsuna, who used to use his seniority to suppress him. Yesterday, he choked him back and let out a bad breath!

Every time he thought of that old face full of grooves and gloom, Uchiha Fugaku felt disgusted in his heart.

He is obviously the clan leader and should have sole power, but that stubborn old man always interferes in his government affairs. And everyone is obviously from the same clan, but he just wants to create a “hawk”.

“Hmph! His heart is so cruel!!”

“The hawks are all a bunch of old stubborns who don’t understand the general situation!”

“But why are you looking for me at all?…” Uchiha Fugaku thought of the hawks’ various objections to his various policies. He couldn’t help but snorted, but then his eyes looked a little surprised.

On his desk is a letter from “Danzo”.

He suppressed the anger in his heart and his expression was extremely solemn. After all, this was Danzo’s personal letter, so he couldn’t help but ignore it.

In the eyes of Uchiha Fugaku, Danzo is one of the top leaders of Konoha. Although his reputation is not very good, if he can win over the other party and let him blow the pillow in the ears of the third generation, for him, It is undoubtedly a step closer to the top.

He slowly opened the sealed letter and glanced at the contents of the letter.

Uchiha Fugaku’s expression gradually began to change, from the original relaxed and comfortable expression to a serious frown, and finally to a look of horror.

The contents of the letter stirred up a storm in the heart of this man who had always been calm and composed!

He squeezed the letter hard and read it, veins appeared on the back of his hand, and his eyes were filled with monstrous anger.

But after he calmed down, his eyes were filled with gloominess, and finally the man fell into a long silence.

The content of the letter made it difficult for him to make a decision.

In his mind, he couldn’t help but think of the past “Uchiha Setsuna” and the various criticisms he had made against him. Finally, a sharp murderous intent flashed in the middle-aged man’s eyes.

“Don’t blame me, this is the position you chose!” Uchiha Fugaku’s eyes were stern. He no longer hesitated, picked up the pen on the table, and signed his name in the letter.

————

“Fugaku… have you seen Itachi? It’s so early in the morning, I don’t know where he went.”

A gentle-faced woman walked out of the kitchen, with a hint of complaint in her tone. In his hand was a bowl of freshly cooked noodles.

“Oh, doesn’t he have a bedroom?”

“I didn’t see anyone.”

“Maybe he went out to play…” Uchiha Fugaku was still immersed in “Danzo’s plan”, and he seemed a little careless at the moment.

“This kid, it’s true… why did he forget to lay down his quilt when he went out?” Uchiha Mikoto complained as she walked towards Itachi’s house.

But her complaint made Uchiha Fugaku’s heart suddenly sink.

His face instantly darkened, and he quickly walked to “Itachi”‘s room.

As expected, Itachi’s room was very messy, the bedding on the tatami had not been tidied up, and there was a hollow bamboo next to the window.

Uchiha Fugaku’s expression turned gloomy at this moment.

“Something happened!!”

———

“Have you heard?”

“What’s wrong?”

“The young master of the patriarch’s family has disappeared…”

“If you don’t see it, you’ll see it. How can it be stolen?”

“Why are you looking at me like this?”

“No one is really that bold? Dare to steal the clan leader’s son?”

“Yes, the clan leader has determined this matter. Itachi was kidnapped…” “Two Uchiha tribesmen in police uniforms were talking quietly with their heads down.

Surrounding them were dozens of tribesmen wearing guard uniforms. They all gathered here after receiving orders from Uchiha Fugaku.

The reason for the gathering was simple: the clan leader’s eldest son had disappeared, under the angry orders of Uchiha Fugaku. The police team began a vigorous search for the “ferret”.

——Uchiha

Setsuna, inside the bamboo house.

A burly young man sat quietly on a dark chair in the corner, holding a young child with tears in his eyes.

In front of the boy, a bearded young man with a gloomy face held a pipe in his hand and was puffing away.

“Uchiha Tensuke, why are you doing this?” Sarutobi Asuma’s deep voice finally sounded after taking a puff of cigarette.

As the dignified “Crown Prince” of Konoha, he naturally knew the “genius” of the famous Uchiha next to him.

Asuma’s eyes looked towards the dark corner.

The death lamp was still burning, and above it, a faint light could barely illuminate this dark little room.

Underneath the death lantern, a burly young man was standing.

At this moment, Uchiha Tenyou looked at the “wick” with obscure eyes. Under the influence of light, half of his face was illuminated, while the other half of his face was in darkness, looking extremely strange and eerie.

He silently stared at the light in front of him. Uchiha Tianyou found that he liked the darkness more and more. He enjoyed the loneliness that the darkness brought to him.

This ray of light is still too dazzling.

The young man’s eyes narrowed slightly, and then he slowly stretched his hand towards the wick. There was a cold look on his still slightly immature face.

Although the fire was small, it could still give people a burning pain, but he seemed to have lost consciousness.

It wasn’t until the skin on his hands made a “sizzling” sound that he pinched the “fire” on the wick…

The whole room was completely plunged into darkness.

The crazy young man last night seemed to exist in a dream. After waking up from the dream, Uchiha Tianyou was still the taciturn young man.

“Creak… crunch”, the sound of footsteps on the floor made of bamboo sounded, like the sound of teeth chewing bones hard, and the tall figure of Uchiha Tianyou came to Asuma.

In the dark cabin, only the pipe in Asma’s hand was emitting a faint light, and the young man’s red eyes instantly plunged the entire cabin into darkness.

Asma raised his head slightly and looked at the young man in front of him with a stiff expression, who exuded the iron-blooded aura. He was so excited by this aura of murderous aura that he trembled, and there was a trace of panic in his eyes.

“Itachi” in Uchiha Tenyou’s arms also opened his big eyes blankly and squirmed in the boy’s arms with a somewhat uneasy expression.

“You,…”

Before Asma could say anything, a thigh like an iron whip hit his abdomen. The violent power made a “whoosh, whoosh” sound in the air, and Asuma was hit hard before he even had time to react.

“Boom!!”

Asuma’s figure was directly smashed to the ground. His eyes were distracted, and the blood spit out from his mouth stained the thick pipe red. The pain in his abdomen instantly occupied his brain, making him unconscious. The body curled up as if it were a tight prawn. This was an instinctive action of the body in order to relieve the pain caused by the body.

The sparks on the pipe still exude its afterglow fire. This is a valuable pipe. Uchiha Tianyou thought it would break, but now it is still intact.

“You know…”

“I hate people who smoke.”

“Especially people from the Sarutobi clan smoke in front of me.”

The boy’s voice was very low, with a hint of steely hoarseness, looking at this There was a slightly “familiar” face, and he seemed to see the short old man.

A flash of scarlet flashed in Uchiha Tenyou’s eyes, but he had never forgotten the foul and rotten taste in Sarutobi Hiruzen’s mouth!

“Dong, dong, dong.”

Asma looked up with difficulty, and saw that tall body walking towards him step by step in the dark room like a pendulum.

Those black boots were getting closer and closer in Asuma’s eyes.

Until the owner of the boots raised his thigh high and crushed the smoking gun in his place.

The bong exploded instantly, and the violent force caused the tobacco inside the bong to fly around.

At this moment, Sarutobi Asuma pursed his dry lips tightly. At this moment, he calmed down inside.

He is not a real idiot. Now he has the sense to shut up, which is what a qualified ninja should do.
