"Itachi! Where are you going!"
Seeing his son lose his mind the moment he returned from the mission and received the news, Fugaku roared and stopped Itachi.
Do you know what this impulsive decision you're making means?!
Fugaku's voice was full of sternness!
Itachi stopped abruptly, his whole body trembling violently, his eyes filled with tension and inner turmoil.
That adult, Haruko's teacher, suddenly became a rogue ninja.
He knew what this meant!
As that man's disciple, Haruko would inevitably be subject to investigation, interrogation, and even torture!
"Father."
"Every second I spend here right now could be endless torture for Haruko."
Even so, you still won't agree to me going to see Haruko?
Itachi tried his best to control his voice, making himself sound as calm as possible.
Try your best not to show your anger.
That was his father.
His most respected father, but whom he was gradually losing his understanding of.
That man betrayed me, and he returned even before my mission was over...
As the head of the Uchiha clan, shouldn't my father have taken Haruko back and protected her?
Itachi didn't understand.
He had no interest in trying to understand his father's thoughts.
He is now...
I just want to get out of here as soon as possible and find Haruko!
That's all...
"The Third Hokage informed me immediately. As for Haruko... the Anbu won't act recklessly."
Fugaku sighed, his tone softening considerably, and comforted his son.
"Konoha is not as simple as it seems to you now. As my son, you must have the ability to see through appearances."
"For the sake of the Uchiha clan, necessary forbearance is unavoidable!"
"You were too impulsive... Itachi!"
Upon hearing this...
Itachi's face turned pale, and his eyes suddenly filled with disbelief!
He couldn't believe it... that his father had actually said those words!
The ability to see through appearances, to avoid impulsiveness, and the necessary patience...
What exactly are you trying to say?
Is it teaching me that I should let go of things when it's time to let go?
Those are people from your clan that you also like very much!
"I know how you feel right now, Itachi."
Fugaku continued to gently persuade him.
"But I also hope you can respect Haruko's decision."
"Haruko, who was caught in the vortex, did not choose to lend a helping hand to the Uchiha. Haruko's vision was not short-sighted."
"Do you understand now, Itachi?"
When Fugaku spoke of Haruko, his tone was heavy, but it was not hard to hear the admiration in it.
Sure enough, she's no ordinary girl.
Anyone else would probably have returned to the Uchiha clan immediately...
But that little girl didn't.
Not only did they not return to the Uchiha clan for help, they didn't even make a simple call for help or ask any questions.
We tried our best to minimize any contact between this matter and the Uchiha clan.
Fugaku admired the girl and also respected Haruko's courage.
only....
Why can't your own son see this?
The Uchiha clan isn't just comprised of Haruko...
His gaze gradually returned to calm, and he forcibly suppressed the endless anger and anxiety in his heart.
The father's teachings seemed to have some effect.
Itachi slowly turned around, looked at his father, and then bowed deeply.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, Father."
The movements were practiced, and the apology was practiced.
Fugaku's expression immediately softened.
"Don't worry, I'll keep Haruko's contact information constantly..."
"But Father."
Just as Fugaku Uchiha was about to comfort his son again, Itachi suddenly raised his head and interrupted him in a deep voice.
This was the first time Itachi had done this.
For the first time, she looked directly into her father's eyes and spoke her heart.
"What if... Haruko now is Mother?"
"Would you use your gaze and patience to do the same thing?"
"Please tell me the answer, it's very important to me, Father."
Itachi's tone was calm and still, without any ripples.
Itachi's gaze was unwavering, filled with questioning.
As he said.
If Haruko were the mother, what would the father do?
Snap!
The answer Itachi received was a slap from his father.
"Rebellious son!"
"Guards! Lock this short-sighted fellow back in his room!"
"You are not allowed to come out without my permission!"
Enraged, Fugaku roared, and two Uchiha clansmen rushed in, restrained Itachi, and quickly left.
only.
Itachi's gaze never left his father.
"You haven't answered my question yet."
"Father."
Even as it was being taken away, Itachi remained calm and asked the question.
....
On the other side.
Still using the most basic slashing techniques, Qingchuan experienced his completely renewed training buff.
I can definitely feel it.
After my strength increased, that feeling of improvement with every strike returned.
Side quests have also changed from beginner quests to advanced quests.
To become a Chunin.
This was clearly a problem for Qingchuan, who had no teammates and had never carried out a single mission.
However... for now, this problem probably can't be solved anytime soon.
"Haruko Uchiha, this place, once the residence of the rogue ninja Orochimaru, has now been sealed off by the Anbu."
Several figures suddenly appeared.
Wearing a mask, his aura was more decisive and ruthless compared to those of the Roots, but he lacked that sinister edge.
Moreover, it looks more imposing than the roots that are mostly hidden inside the robe.
"The Third Hokage will not make things difficult for you."
"But now, please put down your knife and cooperate with us to go to the Konoha Interrogation Department for questioning."
