In the room of Uchiha Fugaku and his wife.

Uchiha Fugaku, who was sleeping on the floor, couldn't help but turned over again.

Uchiha Mikoto, who was sleeping in another bedroll, looked sideways at her husband's back and asked, "Anada, can't you sleep?"

"...I'm sorry, did I wake you up?" Uchiha Fugaku turned around and asked.

"No." Uchiha Mikoto shook her head and answered honestly, "How could I possibly sleep when such a big thing happened at home?" After all, most people in the Uchiha family have delicate minds and are easily affected.

"Don't worry too much." Uchiha Fugaku turned over and said to his wife, "Sasuke will live a good life in the future. He also said that we are all still here, so there is nothing to worry about."

After Uchiha Mikoto was silent for a while, she nodded obediently: "Yeah, okay." But in fact, she was not stupid. She had also been a ninja in the past, so she knew the situation that the Uchiha clan was facing now.

A beautiful future never comes out of thin air, so what is the price to pay for leaping from the present to that future? Not to mention, Sasuke also said that the "most important turning point" is missing here, his wife, a woman named

An Uchiha named "Otoko".

So, is everything really okay?

Uchiha Fugaku looked at his wife's soft yet worried face. His heart was full of tenderness but he couldn't say a word in his mouth - the woman in front of him gave up her life as a ninja and became a ninja because she chose him.

She became an ordinary housewife. She became his wife, gave birth to his children, took care of him and the children, and by the way, shouldered the important responsibility of the patriarch's wife.

Over the years, she has been doing a good job, no matter how hard or tiring she is, she has never complained. However, he failed to let her live a carefree and happy life. Even when she was fighting for the man named "Naruto"

When a child cries secretly, he can only pretend not to notice...

Turn around and leave silently.

This is not her fault, but his incompetence.

A man who cannot protect his wife is probably...

He also failed to protect his children and family.

——How incompetent I am...

Uchiha Fugaku sighed in his heart, and then stretched out his hand from the quilt. Under his wife's surprised eyes, he gently touched her soft and warm side face and whispered: "It's okay, Mikoto, I promise you,

I will protect you, Itachi and Sasuke no matter what."

"Anada..."

After Uchiha Mikoto sighed slightly, she made a move that surprised Uchiha Fugaku. She opened her quilt, and rarely took the initiative to get into her husband's bed and into his arms.

"!"

Uchiha Fugaku looked down at his wife who took the initiative to hug him with a blush on his face, and asked a little uncomfortably: "What, what? Mikoto, are you cold?"

In the spring night.

"No," Uchiha Mikoto smiled and shook her head, "I just suddenly want to hug you Anada." Thinking about it carefully, since Uchiha's situation has become worse and worse, it seems that the two of them have not done this for a long time.

They are obviously a couple...

"..."

"But, Ananda," Uchiha Mikoto lowered her head, pressed her face against her husband's heart, and whispered, "just protect Itachi and Sasuke. As for me, as long as I can always be with you, that's fine.

Okay, nothing else matters."

No matter life or death, as long as we are together.

On the contrary, she hopes that her two sons can live well no matter when and where they are.

"...Hmm." Uchiha Fugaku didn't refute or say anything else. He just silently raised his hand to hold the back of his wife's head and gently stroked her smooth hair. "I understand." He closed his mouth.

He closed his eyes and made up his mind - if anything happened... he would decisively fulfill his wife's wish and take her with him.

But tonight, they are not the only ones who have trouble sleeping.

In Uchiha Itachi's room.

The two brothers slept together as before, with the two bedrolls placed "side by side."

Uchiha Shisui put his hands on the back of his head, stared at the ceiling without blinking, and whispered: "I said it, Itachi."

"Huh?" Uchiha Itachi, whose pillows, hair and quilt were neatly arranged, and who was lying neatly, turned his head and asked, "What? Brother Shisui."

"Will it really happen? The future that Sasuke said."

"Hasn't he already arrived?"

"Having said that... but the specific situations of the two worlds are different, right?" Uchiha Shisui said with lingering fear, "I'm sorry, there is something... I haven't told you. Now, it should be fine.

after all……"

"It's okay, what's going on?" Uchiha Itachi asked very understandingly - after all, everyone is a ninja and understands the importance of confidentiality obligations. In particular, the existence named Uchiha Itachi can almost be said to be "ninja's"

model".

This is not a derogatory connotation, but it may not be a compliment either.

"Actually..." Uchiha Shisui paused, not hesitating whether to say something, but trying to organize his words better, "After I joined ANBU, Danzo...Shimura Danzo has been secretly contacting me to recruit me.

Taking 'Uchiha's future' as an agreement, I hope I can serve him."

Ninjas are mostly very realistic.

The current Shimura Danzo is not worthy of the title of "Danzo-sama".

Moreover, if nothing else is mentioned, the great ninja who founded the village - the first Hokage Senju Hashirama is an idol in the hearts of countless people. It is no exaggeration to say that every Konoha ninja has his own "

Naruto Dreams".

Under such circumstances, Shimura Danzo, who was constantly benefiting from a high position because he was a "second-generation disciple", actually did such a thing, naturally his reputation was instantly infamous and was despised by everyone.

It is no exaggeration to say that he is already standing on the opposite side of the people in Konoha and even the entire ninja world who worship Senju Hashirama.

"...Huh?" Uchiha Itachi widened his eyes slightly.

"Actually, it's not just me, many members of the Konoha family have been secretly recruited." Uchiha Shisui continued, "To be honest... I was a little moved, not because of the other benefits he promised, but just because he promised to help

Uchiha found the most suitable position in the village, allowing Uchiha to regain 'balance' in Konoha." At this point, he sighed slightly, "Uchiha really needs this now."

"...Yeah." Itachi Uchiha nodded in understanding, "I understand what you mean, Brother Shisui."

"But..." Uchiha Shisui said with lingering fear, "A person who can even use the first generation and his own teacher for experiments... are his words really credible? Or, in other words, the 'Uchi' he promised

Where is the future of waves? Isn't it also on the experimental platform?"

This was ridiculous, but he couldn't laugh.

because……

The possibility is really too great.

"..." Uchiha Itachi half sat up. His smooth hair, which had been untied because of sleeping, fell down his shoulders. Looking at the back, he really looked like his mother. He stretched out his hand and gently grabbed it.

He looked over the shoulder of Brother Zumi, lowered his head and looked at the other person, and said in a calm and reassuring tone, "Stop thinking about it, Brother Shisui, everything is over." At this moment, he, who was only nine years old, was different from the others.

Like many times, he shows amazing maturity.

However……

He is indeed just a child.

Uchiha Shisui, who was also only twelve or thirteen years old, withdrew a hand behind his head, grabbed the wrist of his clan brother, and said in a slightly fierce tone: "No, Itachi, you don't understand, if I really are here

If you entered the root under Danzo's deception, then you may also be deceived by me..." That would destroy the clan brother, even his family, and even...

"But, all this didn't happen now, right?" Uchiha Itachi calmly pointed out only the problem, "There is no point in apologizing for something that didn't happen, Brother Shisui."

"..." After Uchiha Shisui was silent for a while, he couldn't help but complain, "Why are you so calm at this time? I really want to see you panic sometimes."

Uchiha Itachi replied seriously: "Trouble, Shisui-san, if you turn into a cat now, maybe I will be surprised."

"..." Uchiha Shisui rolled his eyes and didn't want to talk to him.

After a moment of silence...

Uchiha Itachi lay back down again, and once again pulled up the quilt that was a little messy due to the previous actions, making it neat again.

"But Sasuke refused to say it." Uchiha Shisui said again, "The most critical information. Well, before his wife comes." At this point, he couldn't help rolling his eyes again. He really

I want to see what kind of "god" it is that makes this overly proud and self-sufficient clan brother become so fascinated and submissive.

"This is the judgment of Sasuke who has reached the best future." Itachi Uchiha replied calmly, "Although I am equally curious and somewhat incomprehensible, I believe Sasuke." I fully believe in his brother and his love for his family.

like.

"...Hmm." Uchiha Shisui sighed, "I also want to believe it. And...to be honest, after knowing that there is such a future, I felt for a moment..." He smiled, "Dead

I'm willing to do that." Not to mention, now that Danzo has fallen, they have actually avoided the worst future in disguise, right? Isn't that right? Can you think of it this way?

"Don't talk nonsense." Uchiha Itachi turned his head and showed a small smile, "Brother Shisui, we have agreed to lead the clan towards a better future together."

"...Hmm." Uchiha Shisui also looked sideways at the person and showed a smile.

at the same time--

"Saya." Uchiha Sasuke said helplessly, "Don't keep tossing and turning, how will I sleep?"

"But..." Uchiha Saya said coquettishly, "Usually before going to bed, my mother would give me a good night kiss, and Kazuma would come over and give me a hug. Today, there was nothing. It's normal that I couldn't sleep!"
