Chapter 61 Father And Son Talk At Night

If there is an internal conflict between the Uchiha clan and Konoha Village, it is difficult to tell what the outcome will be for both parties.

But one thing is 100% certain, that is, once such a bad situation occurs, neither the Uchiha clan nor Konoha Village can be immune.

There is a high probability that both sides will suffer losses, and the most likely outcome is that the entire Uchiha clan will be wiped out.

As a member of Konoha Anbu and an elite ninja, Itachi knew very well that Konoha Village had this strength.

So when he heard Shisui's analysis at this moment, Itachi fell silent.

Shisui didn't say anything more.

The two men faced each other in silence.

After a while, Itachi finally said: "Brother Shisui, I don't want both the village and the Uchiha clan to suffer."

"That will only give external enemies an opportunity to take advantage of it."

"I'm glad you understand this, Itachi."

"But the problem we face now is how to help Mr. Fugaku solve this crisis together."

Shisui responded.

"So Brother Shisui, are you here just to think about this problem?"

Itachi immediately woke up, no wonder he had seen Shisui standing alone on the roof, staring at the moon in a daze.

It turned out that he was also extremely troubled by what happened in the afternoon.

I was also tortured by such annoying things and couldn't sleep.

"Although I have saved a little money over the years, I'm afraid it's not enough..."

Shisui was talking to himself, which could be considered as a response to Itachi's question.

Hearing what he said, Itachi frowned slightly: "Brother Shisui, do you plan to solve this problem alone?"

"If that's the case, I'll come and help."

"I have been carrying out missions in the past few years and have saved a lot of money."

Itachi said immediately.

Neither he nor Shisui are members of the security force, so they don't receive a fixed salary.

He has been on missions since he graduated from ninja school when he was seven years old. He has indeed saved a lot of money in the past few years.

For Itachi now, he is still very young.

There is no big use for keeping such a large amount of money in hand for the time being.

Shisui's heart moved slightly, but instead of rejecting Itachi, he said, "In that case, let's go talk to Master Fugaku as soon as daybreak."

"I might be able to borrow a little more money."

"Let's all work together to help the Uchiha clan overcome the current difficulties."

Shisui said very seriously.

"okay!"

Itachi nodded immediately.

"Then Brother Shisui, let's go back and rest now. The night is already very late."

Then he reminded again.

"Well, you should go to bed early."

Because the place where Itachi lives is not in the same direction, Shisui finished speaking and jumped to the other direction of the clan.

But when Itachi turned around, he showed a worried and lost expression again.

He sighed silently in his heart and jumped back to his yard.

But after falling, Itachi found his father Uchiha Fugaku standing under the eaves, folding his arms silently, as if waiting for him to come back.

"Father……"

Itachi looked at Fugaku in shock, but hesitated to speak.

Unexpectedly, it was discovered that he was not asleep.

"It's so late. Where have you been?"

Fugaku's expression looked a little serious, different from any time before.

Although his tone was not so harsh at this time, Itachi could still hear the unhappiness in his heart.

"nothing……"

Itachi originally wanted to explain it properly.

But when I thought about the pressure my father put on me, I immediately changed my mind.

I just felt that the pressure started to emerge again, and I instinctively resisted speaking.

Recently, I don't know why, but every time I face my father, I feel like this.

As he was talking, Itachi suddenly realized that something was wrong with his father's expression.

At this moment, seeing his father's expression, he vaguely felt that his father might have compromised with other clan members.

Fugaku, on the other hand, continued to take two steps forward, came to Itachi, raised his hand and gently put it on Itachi's shoulder.

"Father, what do you mean?"

Yesterday afternoon, he just saw the clan members venting their emotions and criticizing the top management of Konoha Village and Fugaku himself.

"Father, what are you going to do?"

"Have you actually saved so much money alone in the past few years?"

At this point in their conversation, the father and son suddenly fell silent.

"It's really gratifying that you are willing to sacrifice your own interests for the sake of the Uchiha clan."

But what happened next, Itachi still doesn't know because he left early.

Sure enough, at this time Fugaku said again: "Itachi, I feel the feelings of both you and Shisui."

If this is really the case, then... things may develop rapidly in a bad direction.

Fugaku's expression softened a little, and he stepped down the steps and walked towards Itachi.

"I saved it from carrying out missions over the past four years or so."

I don’t want to talk, I just want to escape.

Fugaku seemed to be praising Itachi, but in fact, he was a bit too picky about him at the moment.

"Brother Shisui will also try his best to find a solution."

Hearing him ask this, Itachi's heart sank again.

"well……"

After arriving in front of Itachi, Fugaku suddenly explained earnestly.

"If we decide to compensate the villagers for their losses, I still have about nine million taels here."

The further away you can get, the better.

"I saw you were there, Itachi."

Seeing that his son was unwilling to say more about his whereabouts, Fugaku did not continue to investigate in detail, but instead asked about what happened yesterday afternoon.

He stopped and looked at Fugaku, waiting quietly for the other person to respond.

Itachi looked at Fugaku in confusion, already having a premonition that something was wrong.

As he spoke, Fugaku sighed deeply and frowned in distress: "It's a pity. It would be great if other members of the Uchiha clan could understand justice as well as you."

Itachi looked up at his father and told him the solution he had just agreed upon with Shisui.

"Between the demands of the village and the tribe, it is not easy to find a balance point that can satisfy the demands of both parties and reconcile the conflicts, Itachi."

Itachi's heart sank slightly when he heard his father say this.

"Although our combined money is definitely not enough, as long as everyone works together, we will definitely be able to get through this difficulty..."

"Did you hear the conversation I had with my clansmen yesterday afternoon?"

Itachi replied.

"You are indeed my good son, Itachi."

"I heard you, Father."
