"That's good... that's good..."
Fugaku Uchiha murmured to himself incessantly, sounding almost neurotic.
"Whoosh!"
Just then, a dark figure suddenly appeared.
"Hm? Ling!"
Fugaku Uchiha abruptly rose to his feet. When he saw the Anbu figure, his heart skipped a beat.
"Itachi Uchiha, by Lord Yuu's order, prepare yourself tomorrow afternoon. Someone will take you to Lord Yuu's residence."
The Anbu silently looked at Itachi Uchiha as he spoke. The envy in his tone was almost impossible to conceal.
This was the Anbu! Everyone who entered had only codenames, emotionless machines without feelings.
Yet the unconcealed envy proved just how turbulent this Anbu's emotions were.
After speaking, the Anbu did not wait for a reply. With a flicker, he vanished from the spot.
Only Fugaku Uchiha, wearing an ecstatic expression, and Itachi Uchiha, looking utterly bewildered, remained.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Two figures became afterimages as they continuously leaped across Konoha's rooftops.
In the end, they stopped several kilometers outside a cluster of extravagant, castle-like buildings.
"Itachi Uchiha, this is already Lord Yuu's private territory. You can only go in by yourself."
The leading Anbu looked at the estate before him and spoke to Itachi Uchiha.
By this day, Yuu's residence had undergone several expansions. Everything within several kilometers was entirely Yuu's private territory.
Here, there were gardens, fountains, woods, and every kind of scenery imaginable.
One had to know that this was Konoha's central district. Land prices in Konoha had long since become astronomical; calling every inch of land around Yuu's residence worth its weight in gold was no exaggeration.
But given Yuu's current status, there was naturally no problem. The surrounding residents had long since willingly demolished their homes and moved away.
"U-Understood."
Itachi Uchiha looked at the luxurious estate before him, unease in his eyes as he nodded.
"Whoosh!"
