Chapter 38: The End of the Road


    A weekter, early in the morning.


    The four Sasuke''s family member were enjoying their breakfast warmly in the living room. Their breakfast was not too luxury. It is no different from the average family. It was a natto bibimbap, a small fried fish, and a bowl of miso soup.


    Uchiha n''s family style was rtively serious. And generally speaking, they tend to be more reticent when dining. However, ever since Sasuke met Naruto, he has be more cheerful, lively, and active.


    The atmosphere at home has be very lively.


    Although Uchiha Fugaku sometimes scolded Sasuke, the scolding was just verbal, nothing serious. In fact, their family was very satisfied with the new atmosphere brought by Sasuke. This also made Sasuke''s behavior be bolder.


    Today, after he had just eaten a few bites of rice, he then put down the tableware and said, "Otou-san, Okaa-san, Nii-san, I am full. Can I go out?"


    "What nonsense-?! How much have you eaten? Don''t worry about ying now, and eat. Otherwise, I won''t let you out!" Uchiha Mikoto told Sasuke angrily to finish.


    Sasuke was startled. With a miserable expression on his face, he walked to her mother, shaking her wrists and shaking: "Uh~~~ Mother, I have an appointment with Naruto, that scoundrel. I will fight him again today. If I''mte, he would talk nonsense to me again, saying that I was afraid of him. I don''t want to bete~ Mother."


    "I don''t care. Anyway, if you don''t finish eating, you won''t go out!" Uchiha Mikoto suddenly put on the appearance of a strict mother.


    Seeing that acting coquettishly didn''t work, Sasuke hurried back to his seat and quickly ate the rice.


    And at this moment, Uchiha Itachi also showed a smile of rarely seen, looked towards Sasuke: "What''s wrong? Are you not Naruto''s opponent?"


    Sasuke immediately replied with wide eyes: "What''s not ''an opponent''? That scoundrel Naruto is not my opponent of course! Also, if only Nii-san finally teach me, then there''s no way that scoundrel Naruto could hurt me!"


    Uchiha Itachi pushed Sasuke''s forehead with his finger and said with a smile: "Aren''t I busy? Don''t worry, I''ll teach you whenever I have time."


    "Che, liar. You say that every time." Sasuke rubbed his forehead, a face of bitterness said.


    Immediately afterward, he stopped talking to everyone.


    To avoid beingte, Sasuke used an unprecedented speed of eating.


    The breakfast that belonged to him was swept away in a blink of an eye. Even miso wasn''t left a bit. Without looking back, he hurriedly ran out of the door: "Otou-san, Okaa-san, Nii-san, I''m full! I''m going out first!"


    The footsteps gradually receded.


    After Sasuke left, the living room returned to a serious atmosphere.


    Uchiha Fugaku, who was enjoying breakfast elegantly, asked casually: "What''s wrong? Busy these days? Have you encountered any difficulties?"


    "No, I just wanted to exercise more, so I took more missions."


    "That''s right. Even if you awakened Sharingan, don''t get careless."


    Hearing this, the ball of rice caught by his chopsticks was put down. And an "official" smile was put on: "Understood, father. I will definitely work hard. I''m stuffed. I still have a mission to do, so I will go out first. Otou-san, Okaa-san, please take it easy."


    Neither Uchiha Mikoto nor Uchiha Fugaku noticed Itachi''s strangeness.


    .....


    After breakfast was over, Uchiha Fugaku quickly returned to the Konoha Guard building.


    [TL note: The Konoha Military Police Force is  as the name suggests  the judicial organisation of Konohagakure. Initially believed to have been founded by the Uchiha, in actuality, it was founded by the Second Hokage, and was given to the Uchiha as a sign of trust and good faith between the Senju and themselves.]


    Shortly after arriving, nearly 7 members of the n ran into his office. These 7 members were almost all representatives of the younger generation in the n.


    Before Uchiha Fugaku''s chair hadn''t been warmed up yet, the group of people in front of him made him feel down.


    "n Leader, they didn''t trust us at all! Otherwise, the Jinchuriki wouldn''t juste to us. Why should we send someone to guard him?!"


    "Yes, n Leader. If we don''t do it now, do we have to wait for death?"


    "n Leader! We can''t wait any longer! Since Third-Kage took over Konoha, none of the big influences of the past have had a good result! This is the case for the Uzumaki family, and the same is for the Senju n! The next one is our turn!"


    Uchiha Fugaku''s heart was veryplicated. He did not want to start a civil war. But the n members were right.


    Uzumaki n was gone. Senju n, the top n like them, was gone too.


    Coupled with the deliberate suppression and istion from Third-Kage and the others over the years, this made the entire Uchiha n family members felt very uneasy., Making them wonder whether Third-Kage and the others have an ulterior motive and worry about whether the next n who will be exterminated is them.


    In order not to sit still, most members of the n chose to rise up to resist. Everyone''s emotions have even reached an uncontrolled level.


    "You calm down first. The matter may not be as serious as you said. Didn''t they send the Jinchuriki only to probe us? As long as we stand down, there should be no problem." Uchiha Fugaku did not give up trying to persuade them.


    Unfortunately, in recent years... every day, he was scorned and watched by his ownpanions.


    The location of the n residence was intentionally surrounded by the rest of the Great ns. Every day, they lived in frightening days. The members of Uchiha n have long been driven to go crazy by Konoha. How can they hear Uchiha Fugaku''s dissuasion again anymore?


    "n Leader! Have you ever thought about the n?!"


    "Do you know that your decision may cost the whole n''s life?!"


    Everyone kept saying the same thing to him.


    The sentiment was raging.


    If they don''t achieve their goal, they won''t let go either.


    In desperation, after procrastinating for so long, Uchiha Fugaku finally epted the matter of ''power seizure'' and repeatedly warned: "Remember, everyone. Without full preparation, do not to act alone!"


    Although it was promised, Uchiha Fugaku still hoped to dy it for a while. Hoping to find a solution that has the best of both worlds. The best thing is to solve the whole thing perfectly without shedding single blood.


    After the n members got a positive answer from Uchiha Fugaku, they all expressed excitement because they finally saw hope! No need to sit and wait anymore!


    After making that decision, of course, it was indispensable for everyone to discuss the specific details of the ''power seizure'' and the allocation work. Some people went to investigate the terrain and the time when the Great ns would be in and out. Some people go to strengthen their armed forces and so on.


    After the initial n was implemented, the Uchiha n member in the office left with satisfaction.


    In this way, Naruto''s appearance did not affect the decision of the Uchiha n. They still went to the original track...
