บท 28: Fugaku Took Action

Anbu's sudden intervention meant that this matter had already been known by the Hokage-sama.

On the surface, no one dared to question the authority of the Hokage, even if it were for Uchiha who was very unwilling.

Therefore, the battle that had just been heating up immediately ceased. Both sides did not dare to resist and left with Anbu's people.

At the same time, Aoba, who was heavily injured, was also brought to the treatment by a member of Anbu.

As for the rest, they had to be handed over to the Hokage.

.....

On the other side, after Itachi, who was in a good mood, returned home, he was immediately called over by Uchiha and Fugaku.

"Father, I'm back."

Itachi obediently knelt by Fugaku's side.

"The servant said that you ran out early in the morning. Who did you go to see?"

The moment Fugaku opened his mouth, it caused Itachi's heart to sink. He did not dare to hide it anymore and could only speak truthfully, "It's a civilian child. After the succession ceremony of the Hokage..."

After explaining the cause and effect, Itachi saw that his father was not in a good mood, so he immediately added, "Father once taught me to be grateful and keep my promise. Now that I have repaid the debt of one meal, I will naturally not go out to make trouble in the future."

Although he had promised Aoba that he would look for him again, in order to not implicate the other party, Itachi decided to bury this friendship deep in his heart.

When Fugaku saw that Itachi had a good attitude when he admitted his mistake and did not hide anything, he basically agreed with the information he had sent people to investigate and did not excessively blame him.

"Yes, I already know about this matter. You have done well. But you must know that you are the future patriarch of Uchiha. It is your mission to revive Uchiha's clan. If you have time, you should practice diligently and not waste your energy on some irrelevant people. Do you remember?"

"Yes, Father."

"Go down and spend more time with your mother later."

Itachi nodded and then walked out with heavy steps.

...

Not long after Itachi left, a figure brought bad news.

"Lord Clan Chief, Uchiha 'A' didn't listen to the order and attacked rashly. He was taken away by Anbu and a few clansmen were also taken away. I was worried that Konoha's higher-ups would use this opportunity to attack us. I ask the Clan Chief to give the order."

"Trash!"

After listening to the complete report, Fugaku's face was gloomy.

The whole thing did not take up a single word of reason, and now he was caught by the Hokage, how could he save him?

"I remember that Uchiha 'A' did not seem to have opened his eyes?"

"Replying to Clan Leader, it is indeed so."

With a plan in mind, Fugaku said, "Then give up. Send someone to bring the other clansmen back. Also, tell them what they can say and what they shouldn't say. As compensation, his family's cultivation resources will all be doubled."

"Then... what about the Hokage?"

"I will personally go and apologize."

...

The dignified Patriarch Uchiha personally came forward, not only did he not protect his clansmen, but he even lowered his stance and gave them sufficient compensation.

This made Danzo and the others who wanted to make use of this matter to make a fuss could not help but punch the cotton.

However, once this matter was spread out, it would inevitably cause a new round of damage to the already bad reputation of the Uchiha Clan.

After all, no matter what, it was an unforgivable crime for a ninja to attack civilians without permission!

What Fugaku did, even more, was that after Uchiha admitted his guilt, he directly killed him and brought the corpse back with the reason that Kekkei Genkai could not be leaked out. He did not even leave a single piece of evidence to the Hokage, and his methods could be said to be extremely sophisticated.

After all, he was already dead, so it was too late to splash dirty water.

When the civilians found out about this, they would at most scold him, "It's good to die." There was no follow-up, and they believed that the public opinion would soon settle down.

It could be said that the losses had been reduced to the lowest!

As for the indignation in the clan, Fugaku had many ways to transfer this anger to the Hokage, so that the already dissatisfied clansmen would recognize his plan and wait for that day to come.

However, after this battle, the name of Shinomiya Aoba could be considered to have been added to Uchiha's clan.

…...

On the second day of the attack.

In the hospital ward, Aoba slowly woke up.

The numbing pain from his body made his little face immediately tangle together.

"You're awake?"

Aoba was shocked at first, but when he saw the person who spoke, he immediately relaxed.

"I'm in the hospital? Oh right, where's that bastard?! Did you kill him? I blinded one of his eyes this time. If that bastard is still alive, he will definitely come to me for revenge. You can't let him go just because he is Uchiha! "

Hearing the boy's indignant shouts, Mikawa's expression could not help but become a little strange.

Who exactly had the strong desire to retaliate?

He had just woken up and was already clamoring to kill the other party. She wondered if this kid would be a scourge when he grew up.

However, when he thought of the injuries on his body and the pain he had suffered at such a young age, Mikawa couldn't help but sigh. If it were him, he probably wouldn't let it go.

Even the medical ninja who treated him said that she had never seen such a serious injury on such a young child. The person who did it was simply a beast!

To be honest, if not for the fact that the culprit had already been executed, Mikawa would have wanted to kill that bastard again!

It was simply death!

"Alright, stop cursing. The person who attacked you was called Uchiha 'A'. Not only did he plead guilty, but he was also executed by the clan leader of Uchiha. It can be considered as an explanation. Hokage-sama meant that this matter was over. After all, if he continued to pursue this matter, it was very likely that it would cause even more trouble…. Of course, the compensation given by Uchiha was also very generous. Not only did he pay for your treatment, but he also took out a total of 100,000 taels as compensation for you."

"Dead? That's really letting him off easy!"

Aoba curled his lips, but he also knew that such a small matter would not be able to defeat Uchiha. Moreover, the matter of whether Konoha's higher-ups had dealt with Uchiha had not reached an agreement yet.

For the sake of the stability of the village, he naturally had to wrong him.

Fortunately, he had successfully saved his life and completed the mission issued by the dog system. He had also killed Uchiha's spirit and obtained a lot of compensation.

Presumably, after this matter, his name would be known by many people.

After all, he had successfully saved his life under the hands of an Uchiha family's Gennin and even blinded one of his eyes.

With this kind of valiant battle record, he was considered one of the best among ordinary people.

Of course, Kakashi and those legendary figures were not included!

He just did not know whether Itachi knew about this matter or not. If he knew about this matter, would he let his imagination run wild and add a greater burden to himself
