Chapter Seventy-One: Roar

  Another year has passed, and since joining the Dark Department, he rarely comes home. Every time he returns, his body is filled with a strong bloody smell, making me swallow my saliva secretly every time. Although I remind him to balance work and rest and use the wheel eye less often, his eye bags are getting deeper and deeper. This way, he really won't be able to get married.

  The first semester's report card has come out, and I followed Mikoto Auntie's words to maintain my grades at a mid-to-high level, not too conspicuous. However, Sasuke scored the highest in the class with all perfect scores, which is also the result of his hard work. When he happily handed over his report card to his father Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Fugaku's words made him feel disheartened again: "You must maintain this state and be as excellent as your brother." He didn't want to be compared with his own brother; what he hoped for was that his father could say to him, "You're a worthy son of mine." Uchiha Fugaku didn't say much about my grades, only saying one sentence: "Keep working hard," before leaving. I believe Mikoto Auntie must have said something to him, and he also understood my abilities, although he still had an expressionless face.

  But in the dead of night, I was woken up by Uchiha Fugaku's roar and walked to Sasuke's room with a bad mood. If you can't sleep well, then let's not sleep well together, with this feeling, I decided to take Sasuke down from the ship.

  "Ah, Kurenai you're also awake? Let's go take a look then." I glared at Sasuke who was pulling my hand, why are you pulling me, Sasuke? I don't want to get scolded. Looks like I've been dragged into this mess.

  Sasuke quietly opened the sliding door a small gap, and I also squeezed over to take a look at the situation inside. Uchiha Fugaku and Mikoto Auntie were sitting together, while opposite them was Itachi, with a somewhat trial-like atmosphere.

  "I have a mission tomorrow." The low voice of the ferret sounded, and in the dimly lit room, his black eyes' emotions could not be seen.

  "What's the task?" Uchiha Fugaku still had his usual poker face, but from his furrowed brow and the irritation in his tone, it was clear that he was in a terrible mood.

  "That's classified, it's a secret mission."

  Uchiha Fugaku and Mikoto Obasan fell silent for a moment, before Uchiha Fugaku slowly spoke up "Tanuki, you're the connecting role between our clan and Konoha, aren't you? You understand that, don't you?"

  "Ah."

  "Hope you remember it well in your heart, and also come to tomorrow's gathering."

  "Sasuke, Shisui, go to the bathroom and then go to sleep quickly." The raccoon dog ultimately did not want to respond to this command, nor could he. If he responded, his beloved Uchiha Shisui, who was like an older brother to him, would die. Unfortunately, whether he responded or not, Shisui would still die. It's as if heaven is playing a trick on people, and maybe I'm one of them too.

  "Ah!" Uchiha Fugaku and Mikoto looked at the door leading to this room in surprise, neither of them knew that their son and future daughter-in-law were eavesdropping on their conversation outside the door, if they accidentally leaked it, it would be terrible!

  "What are you doing out so late?! Hurry up and go to sleep!" Ah, Uncle Fu is yelling again. At his age, he still has so much energy. Shouldn't someone suggest that he go sing some opera or something?

  "Hey." Sasuke replied with his head hung low, this was probably the first time he had been yelled at by his own father.

  "It was Uncle Fuyue who woke us up in the middle of the night with his yelling, and he even physically punished Brother You. Brother You was already exhausted from doing tasks, but when he got home at night, he was still beaten by his own father and couldn't sleep. Uncle Fuyue be careful not to get caught, abusing minors is a crime!"

  This sentence was like a thunderclap that made Uchiha Fugaku's heart and lungs feel scorched, he had never known that his future daughter-in-law's mouth was so venomous, he must be prepared in the future to prevent himself from being driven to death by her sharp tongue when he is old. Uchiha Fugaku weakly waved his hand, what he hoped most now was for them to disappear quickly from his sight and return a peaceful sky to him "All of you go to sleep."

  "Sasuke, let's sleep together tonight, goodnight, Itachi." I'm really looking forward to the little fan's hug, and also need to give Itachi time to consider, tomorrow will be the day of the water stoppage.
