Inside the room, Sasuke was waiting patiently when he suddenly heard a muffled sound.
When Mikoto, who was cooking in the kitchen, heard the noise, her face immediately turned worried, and she hurriedly turned off the stove and ran outside.
Seeing his mother in such a hurry, Sasuke quietly followed behind and saw a sight he had never seen before through the gap.
Several Konoha Military Police Force ninjas were lying haphazardly on the ground, their backs to their older brothers, who now seemed completely unfamiliar to them.
"You spend all your time talking about clans, and it is precisely because you are so obsessed with the glory of your clans that you are completely unaware of my current capabilities."
"I'm already fed up with this arrogant and conceited Uchiha clan that only knows about its own race..."
The Uchiha Yashiro struggled to his feet, his entire body aching and numb, finding it hard to believe that this was Taijutsu used by a child who was not yet an adult.
However, what worried them even more was Itachi's almost insane thoughts.
"Do you know what you're saying? Uchiha Itachi, ever since you joined the Anbu, not only have you become increasingly strange, but you've also stopped attending clan meetings!"
"Don't forget, you are a member of the Uchiha Clan, the blood of the Uchiha Clan flows in your veins, and your eyes are the Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan!"
At this point, Uchiha Yashiro simply spoke frankly, pointing his finger at Itachi and venting his dissatisfaction.
"To be frank, ever since you joined the Anbu, Inabi has been secretly investigating you. On the day Uchiha Shisui committed suicide, you were the prime suspect..."
His expression gradually turned cold, and the chill in Itachi's eyes deepened. He still couldn't understand why Shisui would be willing to sacrifice himself for these proud and arrogant clansmen.
"Only now are you telling the truth. You suspect that I killed Shisui, right?"
"That's right! Besides you, who else could secretly assassinate Shisui? Only you were closest to Shisui, so it's most likely that it was instigated by the Konoha High Command..."
Before Yashiro could finish speaking, a sharp shout, tinged with sorrow, rang out.
"Enough. Even now you still haven't realized the difference between you and me. Let's let our eyes speak for themselves."
Just as the jet-black Tomoe, interwoven with blood and black, was about to subtly transform, a majestic voice spoke, interrupting the impending battle between the four.
"Stop! Itachi, what are you planning to do?"
Itachi turned his head and saw his father, Uchiha Fugaku, rushing over, his face still showing a faint look of disbelief.
Itachi, whom he once regarded as his pride and the future pillar of the Uchiha Clan, is now attacking an elite member of his own clan!
"Just teaching these ignorant fools a lesson. Do they even deserve to represent the Uchiha Clan?"
His eyes were cold, subtly shrouded in darkness. Fugaku's expression changed, as if he couldn't believe that Itachi could say such a thing.
"I told you to stop, and so did you, Inabi, Yashiro, Tekka ... I'll handle Itachi. As for Shisui's suicide, please come to my office tomorrow to give a detailed report."
Upon hearing this, Inabi and the others realized that their captain was intentionally covering for Itachi, and that Itachi's thoughts had definitely deviated from the Uchiha Clan's.
Given this situation, even if being imprisoned in the Konoha Military Police Force's jail wouldn't raise any issues, but...
Please.
With a slight bow, Uchiha Yashiro and the others had been about to say. His expression was grim, and he was about to teach these ignorant clansmen a lesson when a childish shout snapped him out of his rage.
"Elder brother!"
Only after realizing it did Itachi suddenly understand. After a moment of silence, he knelt down and bowed.
"I apologize for my oversight earlier. Please forgive me."
Seeing Itachi's sincere apology and Fugaku's return from the Police Force, the others didn't say much, but left Fugaku with grim expressions.
At this moment, Itachi, who was bowing in apology, glanced to the side and saw young Sasuke looking worried. He remained silent for a moment, Tomoe in his eyes spun, transforming into a pair of brand-new Sharingan with simple patterns.
'Those eyes, brother...'
After a long silence, under Mikoto's worried gaze and Sasuke's complicated expression, Fugaku returned home without saying a word.
Unbeknownst to them, the kunai that fell upon the Uchiha Clan Kunai had created invisible cracks that completely tore apart what seemed like a happy family.
That night, Sasuke didn't sleep well at all, tossing and turning, thinking about those strange Sharingan that he had never seen before.
The following day, near the Konoha Ninja Academy.
Several idle children chatted aimlessly, mainly listening to the child in the middle constantly complaining.
"Damn it, Naruto, that bastard, used to follow us around like a puppy, saying he wanted to make friends, but now he's acting all indifferent. Tch."
Among the three, the boy named Huofeng had a bulging eyebrow, his eyes revealing a trace of inexplicable jealousy and resentment.
In reality, they all knew that their little group had targeted Naruto openly or covertly many times, but in the end, they were all severely punished by Naruto.
"Speaking of which, have you heard? It seems that enemy ninjas infiltrated the back mountain yesterday. My father told us about it during dinner."
"Is Huofeng's father a member of the Police Force...?"
As the group chatted, Naruto, dressed in Black Cloak and with bandages wrapped around his hands and feet, appeared at a street corner in the distance.
The three exchanged a glance, their thoughts mirroring each other, and chuckled mischievously.
"Hey! Naruto, we heard something funny, are you interested?"
Naruto glanced at the group indifferently, his malice almost palpable in his eyes. He sneered inwardly, wanting to see what kind of scheme these guys were up to.
"I heard there are some very peculiar ninja tools from another country in the back mountains. They were left behind when they were collecting the bodies yesterday. If you can find them, your teacher will definitely praise you!"
As he watched them leave, Naruto sneered inwardly.
"I really think I'd fall for such a trap that only a fool would fall for? However, most of the corpses in the back mountain are probably ninjas from an enemy country. Interesting."
" Kurama, would you be interested in going to take a look?"
In her Inner world, Nine-Tails- Tailed Fox ignored him, speaking in a perfunctory tone.
"Yes, yes, whatever makes you happy."
'The enemy country's ninjas, capture those guys. Brother Huayue will probably be quite surprised by my progress. Let's go.'
On the nearby overpass, Shikamaru and Choji witnessed the whole thing, their expressions puzzled.
" Naruto, I thought he'd gotten smarter, but I never expected him to actually go to the back mountain. Those guys from the Huofeng gang, doing something like this."
Choji was somewhat dismissive; they often went to the back mountain to play, so they shouldn't encounter any danger.
"Let's hurry, Shikamaru, we'll be late. If Teacher Huayue finds out, we'll probably be punished by having to memorize the text."
A few minutes before class, when Huayue arrived, her gaze swept around, her eyes looking somewhat confused.
Where is Naruto?
