Chapter 35 035. The past is in the past

"Grandpa Hokage, how did you know that I was invited as a guest by Sasuke?"

This sentence caught the Third Hokage off guard, but Naruto didn't seem to be bothered by it. He talked about what he saw in the Uchiha clan with great interest. Except for the genjutsu attack, he told the Third Hokage everything.

After listening, the Third Hokage touched his beard. He heard a different Uchiha from Naruto.

Naruto believed that Uchiha was no different from other villagers, they all had cold faces and withdrawn attitudes.

After pondering for a moment, the Third Hokage said: "Then why did you go to Sasuke's house instead of Shikamaru and Choji's house?"

Naruto said without thinking: "They didn't invite me. If they invited me, I wouldn't refuse. But only Sasuke invited me, so I went over."

"That's it..."

The Third Hokage thought for a moment and then said immediately: "However, if Sasuke invites you to be a guest again in the future, you'd better refuse. It's not good to bother their family all the time."

"No, Sasuke's mother said I'm welcome to be her guest next time."

The Third Hokage's face darkened, and his tone was unquestionable: "You are not allowed to go to the Uchiha clan in the future. They want to take advantage of the power of the demon fox in you, and they are not really inviting you."

Naruto's eyes widened: "Using the power of the demon fox... aren't they fellow villagers?"

Then, Naruto seemed to remember something, and said with a gloomy expression: "Grandpa Hokage, why does the demon fox appear in my body, and who are my parents?"

The Third Hokage looked at Naruto: "Why do you ask this?"

Naruto raised his head and stared at the Third Hokage, and his tone became more firm: "Because I want to know my identity. Sasuke's parents should know my parents, so they are so enthusiastic towards me."

"But they refused to tell me. After much deliberation, only you, Grandpa Hokage, can tell me."

After learning that Naruto's identity had not been revealed, the Third Hokage breathed a sigh of relief, and then said coldly:

"What's the use of telling you? Your parents are dead, and they won't be resurrected if you find out. And knowing this now won't do you any good!"

Naruto looked at the Third Hokage who was about to leave, lowered his head and said, "Then when will I know the truth? I can't keep living in lies."

The Third Hokage had already walked out of the rental house, and a voice sounded in the distance:

"Wait until you become a ninja and can stand alone. What you need to do now is make friends and grow up quickly in school."

After the Third Hokage left, Naruto's gloomy expression disappeared and was replaced by joking.

Being able to make the third-generation old man walk away with an ugly expression means that he has passed the test this time and does not have to worry about the third-generation old man doubting himself.

He was just a poor kid who was kept in the dark and didn't know anything.

…

At the same time, a gathering was also held at Nanga Shrine.

As a 'love' clan, Uchiha always likes to hold gatherings, gathering all open-eyed clan members to make inappropriate remarks in Nanga Shrine and express complaints against Konoha's senior officials.

Of course, there is nothing we can do about it.

Uchiha's remarks were too dangerous and could easily be known by senior officials elsewhere and taken out of context.

However, today's gathering was not a regular gathering once a month, but a temporary meeting for the gathering of Anbu in the afternoon, specifically held to discuss how to deal with the higher-ups.

As the clan leader, Fugaku stood in front of the statue and announced the start of the clan meeting with an ugly face.

A radical jounin immediately stood up and said with excitement: "What happened today was a provocation from the higher-ups against the Uchiha. They sent the jinchūriki here to detect intelligence and deal with us."

As soon as he finished speaking, another Uchiha stood up:

"I can also testify to this. The appearance of the Jinchuuriki in the clan is a trap set by the higher-ups. He placed a restriction on the Jinchuuriki, which can rebound genjutsu, causing Motoyasu to still not wake up."

"Also, as soon as the Jinchuuriki arrived at the clan territory, the Hokage arrived outside the clan territory... Isn't this a trap?"

"..."

Listening to the impassioned speeches of the clan members, Shisui and Itachi's expressions became increasingly ugly.

They knew the inside story. This was not a trap, it was just a friendly invitation from two children, but it was interpreted as a high-level plan against Uchiha.

The tribesmen are also a little too sensitive towards the higher-ups, and it is more like venting their dissatisfaction.

At this time, Shisui seemed to remember something, and whispered to Itachi: "Itachi, I remember that the Fugaku clan leader knew that these were all misunderstandings. Why did he not explain, but let the misunderstanding deepen?"

Itachi remained silent, just staring at Fugaku on the stage.

Shisui saw Itachi's eyes and was stunned for a moment before saying, "Actually, it's not the clan leader's fault. The Hokage is equally sensitive. He almost thought that the clan was going to release the Nine-Tails."

"This is all because the two parties did not communicate well and were unwilling to trust each other."

"As long as we continue to serve as a bridge between the higher-ups and the clan, sooner or later both sides will be able to put aside their prejudices and understand each other."

Itachi still didn't speak. Seeing this scene, Shisui could only sigh helplessly.

After all the Uchiha vented their grievances, the clan meeting came to an end. Opposition to the higher-ups was just a slogan. They just wanted a better life, and they had to get up early tomorrow to go to work in the security force.

After the clan meeting was over, Fugaku glanced at Shisui and Itachi in the corner, and called a few of his confidants into the room deep inside the shrine.

Really big events often only require the discussion of a few people to decide.

Shisui and Itachi also noticed Fugaku's behavior. They did not go over to join in the fun, but walked out of Nanga Shrine side by side. After walking for a while, they came to a remote cliff.

This remote cliff was not covered by a barrier, so they could speak freely and speak their minds.

Listening to the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves, Itachi sighed softly and said:

"Sure enough, my father still hasn't given up on the idea of ​​a coup. Not only did he secretly prepare materials such as detonating talismans, but he also used the jinchūriki's affairs at the clan meeting to incite people's hearts."

"This time they must have discussed the coup behind our backs again. Why can't they understand the village?"

Shisui patted Itachi on the shoulder and comforted him softly: "If Chief Fugaku really intends to launch a coup, I will take action to stop them before they launch a coup."

"How to stop them?" Itachi was a little curious. He didn't think Shisui had this strength.

Although Shisui has activated the Mangekyō Sharingan, his strength is limited compared to his own. On his father's side are the elite jonins of the clan, possessing three magatama.

Shisui pointed to his own eyes: "Of course, relying on these eyes, as long as the thinking of the Fugaku clan leader is changed and he gives up the idea of ​​​​a coup, peace will naturally usher in between the village and the clan."

"But he is your father after all. I am not willing to use this power until the end."
