Uchiha Kō left the study, Uchiha Itachi followed closely behind. As soon as the two came out, Uchiha Rou immediately got up and ran towards them.
Uchiha Kō thought that Uchiha Rou was afraid she wouldn't see him again because she had almost been injured, so she ran over to comfort him. He smiled and opened his arms, ready to welcome his daughter into a big embrace.
The very next second, Uchiha Rou bypassed Uchiha Kō and grasped Uchiha Itachi's hand. "Brother Itachi, the old man didn't make things difficult for you, did he?" She glanced at Uchiha Kō, Uchiha Kō lips twitched.
He stretched his arms out behind him, pretending to stretch, which delighted Tsunade.
Uchiha Itachi looked at Uchiha Rou, shook his head, and smiled. "No, no, Rou, don't worry, your father just asked me about the specifics of what happened earlier."
Uchiha Rou looked at Uchiha Itachi, then at Uchiha Kō, and finally nodded. "Alright." Uchiha Itachi's eyes were full of tenderness, but he remained outwardly calm. He stroked Uchiha Rou's hair.
"I have a mission to do later, so listen to your mom and dad at home!" Uchiha Itachi patted Uchiha Rou's head. Although Uchiha Rou didn't understand, she still said, "Be careful on the road! Be safe!" Her eyes were filled with worry.
Uchiha Itachi smiled, nodded, bowed to Uchiha Kō, and then disappeared into the night.
Uchiha Kō glanced in the direction Uchiha Itachi had left without giving it much thought, crossed his arms, and looked outside. "The wind is picking up!" he murmured.
Tsunade walked to his side. "Honey, can Itachi really do this?"
"Of course, he's the only Uchiha ninja besides me who has the potential to Hokage!" After saying that, he chuckled and put his arm around his wife as they walked into the hall.
He snapped his fingers, and the door slammed Susanoo. The two walked into the hall and saw Uchiha Rou sullen. "Father, what mission did you assign Itachi-nii? It's so late, is it dangerous?"
Uchiha Kō was taken aback. "You little ingrate, do you really think I'm that unreliable? Don't worry, this mission won't be difficult for your Itachi brother!"
"Really? That's great!" Uchiha Rou jumped up, but her behavior alerted her father.
"Rou Rou, why do you keep talking about your Itachi brother?" Uchiha Kō probed.
Uchiha Rou was startled, then slowly said, "Itachi-nii not only taught me Ninjutsu, but also how to grill meat, and he bought me so many gifts, of course I have to show him some care!"
Uchiha Kō remained silent. Indeed, this was a matter of repaying kindness. He had previously taught Uchiha Rou, and if that was the case, then it seemed that Rou Rou had been trained quite well.
Tsunade blinked; she wasn't as easily fooled as Uchiha Kō. She looked at Uchiha Rou, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Alright, Rou Rou, go to sleep!"
Uchiha Rou showed no abnormal behavior in front of her father Uchiha Kō, but when she saw her mother's eyes and her faint smile, she suddenly felt a tightness in her heart.
"Well, well, I'm going to sleep now!" she stammered, then headed upstairs.
Tap tap tap tap tap, the sound of a girl climbing the stairs drifted up. Uchiha Kō chuckled, "This girl, it seems she's been raised well. She knows how to repay kindness, just like me!"
Tsunade smiled, "Yes, yes, just like you. Oh, by the way, you said that when Rou Rou grows up and gets married, will you..." Before Tsunade could finish speaking, Uchiha Kō fell silent, and then his clothes and hair trembled without wind.
"Then you have to beat your father-in-law!" Uchiha Kō said firmly. Tsunade sighed inwardly. This doting father, poor son-in-law, he's going to suffer a lot in the future!
Uchiha Itachi, dressed in black, walked in the darkness when he suddenly trembled. He felt as if he was being watched by something unknown!
Uchiha Itachi appeared at the Konoha Military Police Force, turned on the monitor, sat in front of his father's computer, and stared at the monitor, or more precisely, at the captured spy from Kumogakure.
At first, everything was calm, but in the middle of the night, the door was suddenly kicked open. Uchiha Itachi roused himself, started full-screen recording, and then headed towards the prison.
The spy from Kumogakure, hearing the commotion, immediately became alert. He looked towards the door, then his eyes lit up with joy. "Six! You've come to rescue me? That's great! I don't want to stay in this hellhole for another second!" he exclaimed, smiling as he looked at Six who was approaching.
Liu Zi, whose real name is Ma Liu, was a colleague of this spy from the same period. The two had a very good relationship and talked about everything. They even ate together. This time, however, he was here on a mission to get rid of this guy.
"Tu Feiyuanwu, are you insane? Do you know what you're doing? Attacking Uchiha Kō's daughter is something even the Lord Raikage wouldn't dare to do! How can you be so powerful? How dare you!" Ma Liu looked at Tu Feiyuanwu with a face full of disappointment and anger!
"Hey! Brother, I just wanted to capture Uchiha Rou to make Konoha hesitate and thus get some resources for our Kumogakure! Stop talking and open the door for me! Let me tell you, if you're any later, the Yamanaka Clan ninjas will be probing my memories!" Tu Feiyuanwu said.
Ma Liu's eyes flashed. "Your memories... they haven't touched them yet, right?"
"Yeah! Otherwise you would have been in danger long ago! I was clever enough to pretend to be sick, Konoha, out of their so-called humanitarianism, postponed the memory extraction for a day!" Tu Feiyuanwu was still gloating.
Ma Liu nodded, took out the key he had found on the Konoha Ninja, inserted it into the hole and turned it. With a click, the prison's steel door opened!
Tu Feiyuanwu hurriedly opened the door and went outside. He gave his brother Ma Liu, a big hug with a big smile. "I knew you'd come to save me! Those ungrateful bastards! Humph!"
Ma Liu chuckled, then patted his shoulder. "Let go, you're choking me!"
"Oh, oh!" Tu Feiyuanwu chuckled.
Ma Liu's eyes flickered. "Let's go!"
"Hmm!" Tu Feiyuanwu wasn't on guard against Ma Liu. Ma Liu was willing to risk his life to save him; this was his brother. How could a ninja from Kumogakure be on guard against his own brother?
Then, after he turned around, Ma Liu, holding Kunai and activating his Lightning Release Chakra Mode, stabbed it into Tu Feiyuanwu's brain. Tu Feiyuanwu was stunned; his brain was shattered, and he couldn't even turn around. But he knew that he had been betrayed by Ma Liu!
"Don't blame me, brother. Your actions have plunged Kumogakure into crisis. I can only absolve myself of any responsibility by killing you. I will take care of your wife and children, so don't worry!" With that, Ma Liu drew his Kunai and slashed again!
Tu Feiyuanwu's head fell to the ground, and then Ma Liu took out a bottle of medicine from his pocket and poured it on his body. A sizzling sound rang out, and in less than a minute, Tu Feiyuanwu turned into thick liquid!
Ma Liu glanced at him with a complicated expression, then turned to leave. At that moment, he saw Uchiha Itachi, and Ma Liu immediately assumed a fighting stance.
"Uchiha Itachi! What are you doing here!" Ma Liu's eyes were wary as he looked at Uchiha Itachi, comparing his face with the image of Uchiha Itachi in the database to confirm his identity!
"Oh? Your intelligence system is that good? You've never seen me before, yet you can determine my identity just from the files?" Uchiha Itachi asked with a half-smile.
Ma Liu was already sweating! He knew he was no match for Uchiha Itachi, but he had no choice but to fight back!
"Hand over all the information on Kumogakure spies, and you live; don't, you die," Uchiha Itachi said calmly.
As he spoke, Uchiha Itachi activated his Mangekyō Sharingan. Ma Liu hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping himself. He still had his parents and his daughter waiting for him at home! He couldn't die. At worst, if his other colleagues were purged, he could pin the blame on Tu Feiyuanwu!
"I'll hand it over, I'll hand it over." He took out a notebook from his Storage Scroll. This notebook was one that every spy had, used for communication and to record information about all spies.
Uchiha Itachi clapped his hands, and Uchiha Fugaku came out with the Konoha Military Police Force. He ordered someone to bring over the notebook, and Ma Liu dared not resist, keeping his head down and trying to minimize his presence.
It turns out that all of this was part of their plan. They anticipated that he would come to kill them and silence them. No wonder the two guards at the gate were dozing off! He took the key, dropped it on the ground, and made a sound, while they were still snoring.
He had been mocking Konoha's defenses as nothing special, but now he understood, he understood everything—he was just a pawn!
The man handed the notebook to Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Fugaku nodded. Uchiha Itachi then smiled and said, "Let him go back, because the Lord Hokage has something to say to the Raikage."
Seeing this, Uchiha Fugaku ordered his men to retreat. He and his son stood there watching Ma Liu, Ma Liu knelt on the ground, saying, "Thank you, sir, for sparing my life!"
"The one who spared your life is the Hokage. You should thank him, thank the Lord Hokage, understand?" Uchiha Itachi said calmly.
"Yes! Yes! Yes! This humble servant thanks Lord Hokage for his magnanimity!" Ma Liu readily complied and immediately changed the object of his flattery.
"Go back and tell your Raikage that this time it was someone in your village who had a problem with their brain, so I won't pursue it. But if there's a next time, no matter if it's my daughter or someone from another clan, I will wage war against you!" Uchiha Itachi repeated Uchiha Kō's words.
Ma Liu nodded hurriedly, "I, I remember, I will definitely relay it to our Lord Raikage without missing a single word!" He quickly recited the sentence in his mind several times.
Seeing this Uchiha Itachi nodded. "Get lost!"
Ma Liu fled towards the door as if he were running away, escaping Konoha, a place that had brought him to the brink of life and death several times, in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn!
He swore he would never be a spy again in his life!
