Chapter 172 The Man Who Sees Through Fate
The Nine-Tails Rebellion caused great damage to Konoha, and at the same time made the status of the Uchiha clan very embarrassing.

Because during the Nine-Tails riot, ninjas of all races in the village fought desperately and made great sacrifices.

However, the Uchiha clan was ordered to "evacuate and protect the villagers" because of the suspicion of Danzo and others.

Therefore, he did not participate in the battle against Nine Tails.

In this way, the Konoha villagers who don't know where they are, look at the Uchiha clan differently.

And Uchiha is too arrogant, always feels that he is superior to others, and doesn't bother to explain anything to others.

In addition, after the war, Konoha's high-level officials suspected that the Kyuubi Rebellion had something to do with Uchiha, and began to suppress Uchiha in various ways.

In this way, the hearts of the Uchiha clan became more and more dissatisfied.

Because in their view, in the previous battle, the Uchiha clan dealt with Yanyin Village and Yunyin Village, paid a lot of sacrifices, and made great contributions to Konoha.

Therefore, after the death of the Fourth Hokage, the Fifth Hokage should be the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, at least he should also enter the high-level Konoha.

But the result was——Sarutobi Hiruzen, who abdicated for three generations of Hokage, went up again.

Uchiha not only failed to take the position, but was expelled from Konoha's power center after the Kyuubi Rebellion.

Even the clan land was moved to the edge of the village, and it was monitored 24 hours a day by the Anbu.

To put it in a vulgar word, this is like a dog!
And the attitude of Konoha's high-level people also affected the attitude of the lower-level people.

The villagers began to crowd out Uchiha. Although they would not speak harshly to each other, sometimes cold violence hurts people more.

Facing the cold violence of the villagers, Uchiha certainly would not swallow his anger.

Holding the law enforcement power personally given by the Second Hokage, the Konoha Guard Force has always been Uchiha's property.

Therefore, Uchiha's approach to those cold and violent villagers is more direct-heavy punishment for small mistakes!
In this way, the villagers of Konoha became more and more disgusted with Uchiha who "holds chicken feathers as arrows", and the contradiction between the two began to gradually deepen.

As the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Fugaku certainly knew about these things, but he, who was very proud in his bones, did not realize the seriousness of this matter.

In other words, he didn't take Konoha's ordinary villagers seriously at all.

So he didn't let the clansmen restrain themselves, but maintained a tacit attitude, intending to use this to put pressure on the upper layer of Konoha.

But unfortunately, Uchiha Fugaku overestimated the Uchiha clan, but underestimated Konoha's defense against Uchiha.

It can be said that Uchiha Fugaku made a wrong step, wrong step!

Take this time, when his subordinates reported Shi Lei to him as an example, his handling method can be described as very rough.

Shi Lei, as a person from another country, and also a high-ranking Ninja village who had been hostile to Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzaru as Hokage is no problem to receive, but other people can't.

Because to avoid suspicion!
Uchiha Fugaku not only did not avoid suspicion, but even asked people to send invitations, what would Konoha's senior management think?
Are you, Uchiha, planning to show off your status?Or do you intend to communicate with foreign countries?
Obviously, Uchiha Fugaku didn't think about this problem.

Or he wanted to, but he didn't care.

Or maybe he was expressing an attitude to Konoha——I am a big Uchiha fan who has acted all his life, so why explain it to others?
That's right Niu Boyi!

Since Uchiha didn't care, Shi Lei who was invited didn't care much, bought a few boxes of three-color meatballs, and happily went to Uchiha Fugaku's house.

When he entered, Uchiha Fugaku was standing in the courtyard, watching a young figure practice kunai throwing, eyes full of pride.

"That's it, Itachi, your kunai throw is very good, worthy of being my son of Uchiha Fugaku!"

"Yes, Father!"

Hearing the conversation between the two, Shi Lei knew that the five-year-old child next to him was the man praised by many Hokage fans as "Itachi" and "Uchiha Hit Seven"——

Uchiha Itachi!

"This guy has been outstanding since he was a child!"

Thinking of this, he stretched out his hands and applauded, and at the same time praised:
"You are so outstanding at such a young age, Uchiha is still really an elite, congratulations, Uchiha patriarch, you are really a tiger father without a dog!"

"Haha, Shi Lei, you are overrated!"

Uchiha Fugaku laughed, and then Uchiha Itachi waved.

"Itachi, this is Shi Lei from Hidden Sand Village!"

"Hello, Your Excellency Shi Lei!"

Hearing Uchiha Fugaku's words, Uchiha Itachi immediately stepped forward and bowed his head to Shi Lei.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. My father once mentioned you to me, saying that the [Flame Lizard] in Hidden Sand Village is not inferior to Sannin... Uh...Your Excellency Shi Lei, this is..."

Before he finished speaking, Shi Lei reached out his hands to his armpits, and lifted him up with a dull expression on his face.

"(づ￣3￣)づ Little Weasel Hold it high!"

Uchiha Itachi: "╭(°A°`)╮"

Uchiha Fuyue: "..."

What's the situation?
Seeing Shi Lei who was hugging his son "holding high", the corners of Uchiha Fugaku's mouth twitched twice, and he quickly reminded him.

"Shi Lei, Itachi is different from ordinary children. Although he is only five years old, he will be entering school soon. He doesn't like being held high!"

"Uh... eh?"

Hearing Uchiha Fugaku's words, Shi Lei looked at Uchiha Itachi who was embarrassed because he was "lifted high", and quickly put him down.

Then stretched out two fingers and poked lightly on his forehead.

"Forgive me, one hit seven, this is the last time!"

Uchiha Itachi: "╭(°A°`)╮"

what's the situation?
Seeing the young Uchiha Itachi's confused face, Uchiha Fugaku on the side laughed again.

"Hehe...it seems that Shi Lei likes Itachi very much!"

"Ok!"

Shi Lei nodded hesitantly.

"For geniuses, I always have a high regard, and Itachi is the genius of geniuses!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Hearing Shi Lei's unsparing praise, Uchiha Fugaku suddenly laughed even happier, and waved his hands while laughing.

"No no no...Compared to you, any genius will pale in comparison. If I remember correctly, Shi Lei, you should have just turned nine years old this year, right?"

"Chief Uchiha, please don't judge people by age!"

Hearing Uchiha Fugaku's words, Shi Lei immediately opened his mouth to him with a straight face.

"I can tell you very seriously, even though I am young, when I flirt, even I am afraid!"

Uchiha Fugaku: "(Д*)"

What's the mess?

Hearing Shi Lei's words, and looking at the stunned Uchiha Itachi next to him, Uchiha Fugaku's mouth twitched twice again.

"Itachi, go and continue practicing!"

"Yes, Father!"

Hearing what Uchiha Fugaku said, Uchiha Itachi quickly agreed, and then went to the yard to continue practicing.

After he left, Uchiha Fugaku nodded slightly towards Shi Lei.

"Let's go inside and talk, please!"

"Please!"

After some courtesies, Shi Lei followed Uchiha Fugaku into the next room.

But what he didn't expect was that after entering the room, he had just sat down when Uchiha Fugaku jumped out a word.

"Shi Lei, if my guess is correct, you should actually be from the Uchiha clan, am I right?"

Shi Lei: "(ω`)"

———[Free Small Theater]———

Shi Lei: If you want me to admit that you belong to the Uchiha clan, you need to do one thing.

Uchiha Fugaku: What's the matter?

Shi Lei: Subscribe to the genuine "Ninja Puppet Master"!
"╭(°A°`)╮"
