Konoha: Prepare to defect, the system is coming.

Chapter 605: The Changed Uchiha Fugaku

As night fell, the number of people on the street decreased significantly.

The vendors at the night market, seeing the little food left on their stalls, wanted to shout at the top of their lungs like they did during the day, but they instantly calmed down when they saw the patrolling ninjas walking towards them.

Da da da!
The chaotic footsteps were extremely clear in the night. A group of Uchiha ninjas wearing round fan-shaped uniforms just glanced at the stall owner when passing by the stall. After finding nothing unusual, they walked towards the darkness in the distance.

"Whoo~"

Looking at the backs of those people leaving, the boss breathed a long sigh of relief. Although he knew that these people were only cold on the surface and their actual communication was quite normal, he couldn't help feeling a little scared.

After calming down for a while, the stall owner suddenly poked his head out and glanced at the night market. When he found that the flow of people was becoming increasingly sparse, he stopped struggling and prepared to pack up his stall and go home.

“Let’s have some oden”

At this time, an old voice suddenly came, which shocked the boss. He smiled and replied, "Late-night special offer, one or two skewers per string, buy ten strings and get three free, twenty strings and get eight free."

"Forty strings!" The old voice sounded again, and a stack of banknotes emitting the smell of ink appeared on the counter.

The moment he saw the banknotes, the stall owner suddenly felt that the old man's voice opposite him was so pleasant and heroic. He deserved that he still had such a good appetite at such an old age.

After handing the packed oden to the old man, he looked at the man's departing back and asked in confusion, "This man looks a bit like the great elder of the Uchiha clan?"

“Let’s have some oden”

Another old voice followed, instantly attracting the boss's attention.

He turned around and looked at the old man with white hair and beard in front of him. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled and replied, "Late night special, one or two ounces per string."

"Forty skewers!" The old man touched his stomach and raised four fingers to the stall owner.

"okay!"

The shop owner excitedly packed up the oden and watched the old man disappear into the darkness. He couldn't help but mutter, "This man looks like the second elder of the Uchiha clan."

“Let’s have some oden”

Hearing the voice ringing in his ears, the stall owner was stunned for a moment, turned around and looked forward, and subconsciously asked, "You want 40 skewers too?"

"Ok!"

Seeing the other party nod slightly, the oden boss's mouth twitched, and his hands' movements instantly became nimble.

After a while, he handed over the packaged oden and watched the third old man disappear into the darkness.

Then, the stall owner leaned on the stall with both hands and muttered to himself, "The Fifth Elder of Uchiha? These big shots have really good appetites. They can eat so much in the middle of the night.

But this scene is a bit weird.”

“Let’s have some oden”

As the old voice sounded again, the stall owner was stunned for a moment, and suddenly turned to look at the Uchiha elder standing in front of him, and asked in surprise, "Sir, those 40 skewers were eaten so quickly?"

Hearing this number, Uchiha Saburo was stunned for a moment, scratched his head in confusion and said, "The oden I bought from you a month ago has already been eaten."

"what?"

Seeing that the old man's expression didn't seem to be lying, the stall owner's eyes widened instantly, as if he had seen a ghost, took a few steps back, and fell down on the bench.

He turned stiffly and looked in the direction where the "Great Elder" disappeared, then looked at the Great Elder who appeared in front of him, and slapped him in the face, making a crisp sound.

"."

Uchiha Saburo also found that things seemed a little strange. Looking at the boss's behavior, it seemed that someone had borrowed his identity to buy oden? ?

Damn, didn’t you pay?
Thinking of this, he immediately went to the back of the stall, took out a stack of money and put it in the boss's arms, and began to ask about what had just happened.

five minutes later.

The Great Elder, holding the oden that had just come out of the pot, turned around and looked at the direction where the three people disappeared, sneering, "How dare you impersonate me? I never thought of impersonating you."

After saying that, he clapped his hands together, turned directly into the appearance of Uchiha Asuka, and walked straight into the darkness.

It doesn't take much to figure out that one of the three people must be Uchiha Asuka. As for whether the identities of the other two are real, no one knows.

at the same time.

"Fake Uchiha Saburo" was standing at the door of Konoha's largest tavern. He looked at the gilded words on the door and read out loud, "Staying up late is a disease for modern people; drinking is a medicine for modern people.

Using medicine to treat diseases is the choice of modern people.”

"As expected of me, I could come up with such an elegant sentence back then." Then, he looked at his old appearance in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction.

When Uchiha Madou was gossiping, he once said that "this came out of my mouth, but it ends in your ears", and they patted their chests and said that they would definitely not tell anyone, and they would not go to the tavern to verify the authenticity of this matter, so as not to be exposed.
I definitely won’t tell others, but won’t I verify the authenticity? ? ?

He looked at the Great Elder in the mirror and said calmly, "I will definitely not verify the authenticity, but the one who verifies the authenticity is the Great Elder. What does it have to do with me, Uchiha Asuka?"

After saying that, Feiniao acted like a great elder, pushed open the door of the tavern, and disappeared into the crowd.

After a while.

Uchiha Ryoichi also appeared at the door of the tavern.

He looked at himself in the floor-length mirror and saw that he had transformed into Uchiha Madou. He nodded with satisfaction and said softly, "As a frequent visitor to the tavern, let me, Uchiha Madou, see what's going on."

After saying that, he pushed open the door of the tavern in the guise of Uchiha Madou and disappeared into the crowded crowd.

Two minutes later.

Uchiha Madou also appeared at the door of the tavern.

He looked at himself in the mirror and turned into Liangyi. He subconsciously took a bite of the meatball and said while eating, "Uchiha Madou is sleeping at home. I am Uchiha Liangyi."

After saying that, Madou, pretending to be Uchiha Ryoichi, also pushed open the door and disappeared into the crowd.

Followed by.

A young man suddenly appeared at the door of the tavern.

He held a bucket of oden in each hand, looked up at himself in the mirror and turned into a flying bird, sneered and said, "The old one is shameless, the young one is shameless, actually impersonating someone else's identity"

As soon as he finished speaking, he pushed open the door of the tavern and walked in.

There is a lack of entertainment options in the ninja world, and drinking in the tavern is a way for most people to while away their time. Therefore, when it is late at night and everyone is asleep, that happens to be the time when the tavern does its best business.

Seeing that the tavern was packed with people, the lively atmosphere instantly made the elder feel a few years younger.

"Ah, no wonder Fugaku likes to come here to drink. I actually liked it too, huh?"

The elder who was looking for an empty seat focused his eyes and saw three old men with white hair and beards sitting in the northeast corner of the tavern. He also found himself among the three.
After staring at the guy who had turned into himself for a while, the Great Elder's mouth twitched slightly and he said angrily.

"Shameless!"

"Shameless!" Madou cursed angrily when he saw Liang Yi come to the tavern in his own appearance, "I didn't expect you to be this kind of person."

"Each each other!"

Liang Yi glanced at him calmly, then took out the oden and took a bite, sneering and saying, "I didn't expect to see myself here, did I?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the great elder sitting opposite him and added, "I didn't expect to see the great elder here. The old man is over 80 years old. What are you doing with his status? At least change someone else."

"What's wrong with being over 80?"

Before he could finish his words, a very dissatisfied voice suddenly came from his ears. Then, a black shadow blocked the light, causing the three people at the table to look over involuntarily.

When they saw that the person coming was Uchiha Asuka, the three people at the table fell into silence. Then, the "fake Uchiha Asuka" kicked the fifth elder with his foot, signaling him to make room, and at the same time, he glanced at the guy pretending to be him, and said righteously.

“You are the faces of the Uchiha, yet you are so gossipy.

Fei Niao is younger and hasn't seen much, so it's normal for him to gossip a little. But you two old guys are 150 years old in total, and the smallest things can arouse your curiosity.

How can I trust you to hand over the Uchiha to you?"

As he spoke, he sat down next to Madou, and then put the oden on the table. While searching for the head of the family with his peripheral vision, he said with a serious expression, "Everyone's face is so full of the word "gossip" that they want to write it. They are as cunning as a big vat for raising turtles, and their eyes are full of inquiries into other people's private affairs.

As the face of the Uchiha clan, he actually stayed up late at night because of such a small matter."

The Great Elder spoke faster and faster, and felt more relaxed. He could no longer remember the last time he felt so happy.

Anyway, there are only a few months left in my life. If I don’t curse now, I’m afraid I will never be able to curse again in this lifetime.

now.

Seeing the Great Elder suddenly transformed into a shotgun and continuously firing at the other two old men, Fei Niao couldn't help but shudder and subconsciously lowered his head.

"Ugh!"

Asuka sighed deeply in his heart, his eyes occasionally glanced at the door, and shook his head, "I don't know if Uchiha Mikoto will open her Mangekyō after being stimulated like this.

If she opens the kaleidoscope, what is her ability?
To change people's minds? To escape reality? Or is it "

Thinking of this, Fei Niao was suddenly stunned for a moment, then he rubbed his chin with one hand and said thoughtfully, "If that guy heard about the Moon Eye Project, wouldn't he want to create a world with happy families?"

Before he could continue thinking, the door of the tavern was pushed open again, and a tall figure slowly walked in.

The four Asukas who were always paying attention to the gate were shocked. The great elder who had just turned into a troll also shut his mouth and silently picked up a string of oden and started eating.

"The clan leader is here!"

at this time.

Uchiha Fugaku did not notice the great elder and others in the tavern.

After a brief search around the store as usual, he went to his usual seat, asked the bartender for a few bottles of wine, and started drinking alone.

In the past, when he was upset, he liked to come here to drink. Later, when he was less upset, he still liked to come here to drink.

Because he drank too frequently here, Itachi couldn't help wondering later, so he asked him, "Why does father drink every night?"

His answer at that time was: "Why drink? Because I am not happy when I don't drink. Why drink at night? Because the daytime world belongs to the head of the Uchiha clan, and only the night world belongs to Uchiha Fugaku."

"Father, I don't understand!"

“Itachi, drinking at night is actually a way to relieve stress.

The world is asleep, the children are asleep; the colleagues are asleep, the clansmen are asleep; the people who hate the family are asleep, the competitors are asleep.

My father used this time, which he had stolen with great difficulty, to do something he liked, something that was independent of his status as the head of the Uchiha clan, because once daytime came, the world belonged to someone else again, and my father had to shoulder the responsibility of the Uchiha clan and work hard again.

In order to make life more meaningful and to make reality less empty, my father had to reduce his sleep time at night to gain the meaning of life. "

"Father, why do you like drinking? Mother obviously hates you drinking. Can't you do something else at night?"

"Itachi, you have to know that when people drink, apart from pouring and raising the glass, they don't need to use any muscles, and they don't need to think about anything.

Just focus on drinking, not drinking, drinking fast, or drinking slow."

"."

As the conversation in his mind gradually disappeared, he shook the wine glass, looking at the slightly turbid wine in it, and his indifferent eyes slowly became blurred.

Before Orochimaru's defection, he didn't like going out for drinks, but after being invited by Orochimaru for unknown reasons several times, he was no longer so resistant.

Later, Orochimaru suddenly defected, and as the person that Orochimaru had frequent contact with before his defection, he immediately came into Danzo's sight and was interrogated from time to time.

Because of this, he was emotionally unstable at the time and became a frequent visitor to the tavern.

Not long after Orochimaru's case came to an end and he was cleared of suspicion, the "Nine-Tails Runaway" incident occurred in the village. Anyone who is not blind can see that the Nine-Tails' eyes are Uchiha's Sharingan.
At that time, Fugaku felt as if the sky had fallen down, and he was stunned for a moment. When he finally came to his senses, he found that the sky did not seem to have collapsed completely.

He still remembers what happened that night very clearly.

Then, Fugaku picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and looked in the direction of the Uchiha clan's territory. He spoke slowly in a voice that only he could hear.

"Just when everyone thought that the Uchiha was controlling the Nine-Tails and preparing to weaken the village's combat power, the Nine-Tails seemed to have taken mad dog medicine. Although it was still controlled by the Sharingan, it ran directly to the Uchiha clan and fought with the Uchiha."

"Half of the Uchiha suspects were instantly gone."

"After the Nine-Tails Night, according to statistics, Konoha Village lost 3 people, 7 people were seriously injured, and 32 people were slightly injured. In this list, the Uchiha clan alone contributed 40 people.

That is to say, except for the Yondaime and his wife, all the casualties were Uchiha."

After the village announced the casualty list, although the top leaders still had some doubts about the Uchiha, the villagers looked at the Uchiha with sympathy.

Because the person who released the Nine-Tails must be an enemy of Uchiha without any hesitation.
Although Uchiha was completely cleared of the suspicion of controlling the Nine-Tails, through this incident, Fugaku discovered that his control over the family did not seem to be as strong as he had imagined.

At least
As the clan leader, he didn't know that there was a powerful Mangekyo master hidden in the family. In addition, later on, his clan members suddenly resurrected Hashirama Senju without his knowledge.

Fugaku felt more and more tired and overwhelmed by this. From that time on, he would come to the bar and drink for a few hours every night after get off work.

"When I return to the tribe, everyone seems to have a secret, and everyone seems to be hiding something important from me."

"After returning home, he lost his appetite when he saw the extremely simple meal. However, he did not want to tell Mikoto about his troubles. After all, she could not offer a solution and it would only add to his troubles."

Sometimes Fugaku would even think that as the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, he had been working outside all day and was dragging his tired body and mind back home. He thought he could eat something good at home, reward himself with delicious food, and enjoy a moment of warmth.

In the end, when I get home, I always face the same few things.

White porridge, pickled vegetables, rotten eggs.
Even ordinary villagers don’t eat this kind of food every day, right?
Squeak!

Just as Fugaku was distracted, the door of the tavern was pushed open again from the outside.

A woman with the Inuzuka clan's unique inverted triangle facial marks on her cheeks, a brown hedgehog head, wearing a green vest of a Jonin, and accompanied by a one-eyed wolf-dog walked in slowly.

Asuka and others, who had been keeping an eye on the movements at the door, were instantly dazzled when they saw the woman.

"Inuzuka Tsuma is here!" Asuka tapped the table with his fingers to remind him.

"I just don't understand, what are the advantages of a woman who can make Fugaku look at her so much?" Ryoichi secretly observed the other party for a long time and asked with a frown.

"Advantages? His figure and looks are average. Apart from his straightforward personality, I don't see any advantages." Uchiha Madou, who had no good feelings towards the Inuzuka clan, subconsciously rolled his eyes and replied indifferently.

"You idiots, since when has being straightforward been considered an advantage? To put it nicely, it means being unpretentious, not hypocritical, not scheming, and saying whatever you want to say.

But to put it bluntly, isn’t this just a case of someone missing a trick in the head? He can’t keep things to himself.”

Having said this, the Great Elder was suddenly stunned, then turned to look at Inuzuka Tsume who was standing at the door, with a thoughtful look on his face.

Then, he stroked his beard with one hand, and said in an old voice with some hesitation, "Do you think Fugaku has suddenly fallen in love with those simple-minded women whose thoughts can be seen on their faces?"

"Take the Uchiha clan for example. No matter how old our clan members are, they like to keep their secrets in their hearts and will not reveal them easily, let alone tell others, even those close to them."

"But Inuzuka Tsume's personality is exactly the opposite of ours. Her secret can be seen from her face."

After hearing the explanation from this angle, Fei Niao was confused for a moment, then suddenly his eyes widened and he looked over.

Don't say yet.
It is possible that this is the case.
