Chapter 73 From now on, only Itachi
After Nijiru brought Naruto, Mikoto and others to the Uchiha gathering place.
The first thing Naruto saw was Uchiha Itachi, who was hanging on a crooked tree at the door with his hands tied, and was being beaten by a group of Uchiha.
Naruto: Are you really going to hang me up and beat me?! (ー_ー)!!
Then Naruto saw Uchiha Fugaku with a gloomy face. He moved a set of tables and chairs and sat next to the crooked tree.
There was a large wooden sign beside him, and the words carved on it could be seen clearly from a distance:
1. It is forbidden to use ninjutsu (warm reminder, illusions are unlikely to work on this unfilial son);
2. It is forbidden to hit the lower three parts, especially between the legs, and the rest is optional;
3. Each tribe member can only fight once at a time, with no limit on punches or kicks, and after the fight, they must consciously line up at the back;
Four,……
……
Naruto summarized it, anyway, the content on the wooden sign roughly said:
As long as Uchiha Itachi is not beaten to death and his future reproduction is not affected, and he is fed once every three days... the Uchiha clansmen can do whatever they want with him.
This time, Uchiha Fugaku's ruthlessness surprised Naruto. He turned to look at Jizo and asked uncertainly.
"Dad?"
Nijiru nodded with a bitter expression, then quickly ran towards Uchiha Fugaku on his two short legs.
"Father, please stop fighting. Look who I brought back."
As soon as Uchiha Fugaku looked up, he saw the figure he had been longing for for many years, and his gloomy expression instantly looked much better.
"You're here, Mikoto."
The words that Uchiha Fugaku said unconsciously caused all the Uchiha to turn around and greet Uchiha Mikoto enthusiastically.
"Mikoto-sama, you are here too?"
"Yeah, I just returned to the real world~"
"Long time no see, Mikoto-sama."
"Well, nice to meet you too, Flint."
"Mikoto-sama, how are you feeling?"
"I'm fine, thank you for your concern."
……
All the Uchiha greeted Uchiha Mikoto warmly, and Uchiha Mikoto responded with a smile.
From this we can see how popular Uchiha Mikoto is in the Uchiha clan.
It is no exaggeration to say that the reason why Uchiha Fugaku was still recognized by all Uchiha as the clan leader after Uchiha Itachi committed the act of exterminating the clan was that...
A large part of the credit for this is that his wife is Uchiha Mikoto... this gentle and wonderful woman who is deeply loved by all Uchiha.
"Mother."
Uchiha Itachi, who had been hanging on the tree with his eyes closed and silent, immediately opened his eyes after hearing the familiar voice he had not heard for a long time.
The look he gave Uchiha Mikoto seemed so complicated at this moment.
If expressed in a pie chart, it should be:
His eyes revealed three parts of nostalgia, three parts of attachment, and four parts of shame for being a son...
In response to her eldest son's call, Uchiha Mikoto did not answer, but just smiled at him gently and nodded slightly in response.
The arrival of Uchiha Mikoto put all the Uchiha in a dilemma.
They knew that the reason why Uchiha Mikoto came here was obviously for this unfilial son who was hung on the tree and beaten by them...
Now that Uchiha Mikoto is standing in front of them, will Uchiha Itachi... still fight?
beat!
If you can punch hard, then punch hard. Otherwise, you will always feel like you’re at a disadvantage!
So the Uchiha clan member who was ranked first made up his mind, turned to Uchiha Mikoto and said with a stiff smile.
"Mikoto-sama, please wait a moment. I will finish my punch first and then come back to greet you..."
After saying that, he immediately turned around, gathered his strength, and punched Uchiha Itachi hard in the stomach.
But his fist ultimately failed to land on Uchiha Itachi, because when his fist was halfway out, a girl opened her arms to block Uchiha Itachi.
He quickly retracted his fist, then looked up at the girl and questioned her angrily.
"Quan, do you know what you are doing?
Do you still want to protect this criminal who brutally murdered his entire clan?
Don't forget, even you who had always loved him were killed by him himself!"
Uchiha Izumi shook his head repeatedly and argued loudly.
"No, it wasn't Itachi who killed me, but a masked man who used chains!"
One stone caused a thousand waves!
Many Uchiha clan members recalled at this moment that they seemed to have been strangled to death by a chain.
But unlike Uchiha Izumi, they had never seen the true face of the murderer;
They also heard from other people that it was Uchiha Itachi who attacked them, so they thought that Uchiha Itachi was also the murderer who killed them.
Now, after hearing what Uchiha Izumi said, their minds suddenly became clear.
It turns out that the murderer who killed them was not Uchiha Itachi~
So to say……
"You actually have an accomplice?!"
The Uchiha's fists hardened.
The Uchiha ranked first pushed Uchiha Izumi away without saying a word and hit Uchiha Itachi with the punch he had missed just now.
"Tell me! What's the name of your accomplice?! Where is he now?!"
Naruto looked at Nijima in shock and asked in confusion.
"You didn't tell them about this?"
Erzhuzi answered coolly.
“They didn’t ask…”
Naruto: ?_?……
Good guy, Erzhuzi, you know how to save your brother.
Could it be that they tied Uchiha Itachi here for so many days just to beat him up? !
"Everyone..."
Seeing that the crowd was excited and the situation was about to get out of control, Uchiha Mikoto finally spoke.
"Could you please let me take care of this child, Itachi?"
When Uchiha Mikoto said this, almost all the Uchiha looked ugly.
But soon, they calmed down and sighed helplessly.
"There's nothing we can do. Since it's Mikoto-sama's request, we agree."
Uchiha Mikoto smiled and bowed to them to express her gratitude, then looked at Uchiha Fugaku who remained silent.
"Fugaku, what do you think?"
Uchiha Fugaku had a stern face and was about to say something, but when he saw Mikoto's eyes sweeping over him, he immediately softened.
"…I have no objection."
……
"Mother."
Uchiha Itachi, who was put down from the crooked tree by Uchiha Izumi, immediately forced himself to walk in front of Uchiha Mikoto and knelt on his knees.
Uchiha Mikoto leaned down, caressing Uchiha Itachi's cheek lovingly and spoke softly.
"It's been a tough time... hasn't it?"
Uchiha Itachi was so moved that his eyes turned red, and he uttered two words without hesitation.
"Not bitter."
"Itachi~ my child~
Mom wants you to remember that no matter who you are, where you are, or what you have become...
Mom and Dad will always love you deeply."
"I see."
Uchiha Itachi nodded heavily. As smart as he was, he had already guessed what his mother was thinking.
Perhaps it was the bond between mother and son, Uchiha Mikoto knew that her eldest son had guessed her decision;
So she didn't say anything more to Uchiha Itachi, but stood up straight and announced loudly to all Uchiha.
"I, Uchiha Mikoto, hereby declare as the wife of the current Uchiha clan leader:
Uchiha Itachi was expelled from the Uchiha clan and stripped of his Uchiha surname.
From now on, there will no longer be Uchiha Itachi in this world, only Itachi..."
Naruto: Σ(っ °Д °;)っ? ! !
Two pillars: Σ(っ °Д °;)っ? ! !
