When Shen returned home, he found that Uchiha Tomitake had already returned. The whole family was waiting for him to eat. No one picked up their chopsticks on the table. When Shen returned, his family did not blame him.
Upon seeing this, Shen's heart seemed to have been touched by something. However, he tried his best to restrain himself.
"I'm back." Uchiha Tomitake calmly said to Shen. He did not ask why Shen had returned so late.
"Come here, it's time to eat." Meiqin smiled as she scooped a bowl of rice for Shen and asked him to sit down.
"I…thank you, Mother." Looking at Meiqin's doting gaze, Shen, who had wanted to say that he had already eaten, swallowed his words.
"Alright, let's eat." Uchiha Tomitake picked up his bowl and chopsticks as he spoke. After all, he had been busy with the food for the whole day and was already very hungry. However, he still waited for Shen to return before he started eating. Although Uchiha Tomitake had always played the role of a serious father at home, he still loved his child very much, but he did not show it.
The family did not say much during the meal. Only Mikoto would put food into Sasuke and Shen's bowl from time to time. Then, she would watch them finish the food with a happy smile on her face.
"I'm full. Father, Mother, I'll go back to my room first.”After finishing his meal, Shen bowed to Meiqin and Fuyue before returning to his room.
"Eh? Did he eat so little? Are you feeling unwell?" Mei Qin asked with concern when she saw that Shen was eating very little.
"Oh, I'm fine." Hearing Meiqin's concerned greetings and feeling her mother's love for him, Shen felt a sense of panic in his heart. However, he could only try his best to control himself and not reveal his feelings. He replied calmly. At this moment, Shen only wanted to leave as soon as possible because he was afraid that he would be trapped in this situation.
"What's wrong with this child?" Meiqin was still a little worried.
"Alright, you don't have to worry about it. It's not like you don't know how he is. Let's eat first.”Uchiha Tomitake said to Mikoto.
On the other hand, Sasuke was upset when he saw how much Mikoto doted on Shen.
"Sigh…" Shen returned to his room and sat on his bed in a daze. In the end, he could only sigh helplessly.
. an uneventful night
The next morning, Shen was woken up by Sasuke's voice.
"Hmm? What's wrong with Sasuke? Is Itachi back?”Shen rubbed his eyes. He walked out in confusion.
"Brother, what mission did you go on yesterday? Why did you take so long to come back?"
Shen had just opened the door when he heard Sasuke's words. "As expected, Itachi is back. It should have joined the Dark Group by now.”Shen thought to himself as he opened the door and walked out.
"This is the mission's top secret.”Itachi tapped Sasuke's forehead with his right hand and said to Sasuke. At this moment, Weasel saw Shen walking out of the room. "Shen, you're up."”
"Yes." Shen replied to Weasel calmly. He then walked into the bathroom to wash up.
"Alright, Sasuke, stop pestering your brother. Come over and have breakfast. We still have to go to school later!”At this time, Mikoto served the breakfast that she had prepared in the kitchen and said to Sasuke, who was still wrapped around Itachi.
"Oh!" Seeing Mikoto's words, Sasuke reluctantly walked to the dining table to eat breakfast. Shen came out of the bathroom after washing up.
After breakfast, Sasuke and Shen went to the ninja school together. The two of them didn't speak on the way.
"Good morning, Chen Jun!" Shen heard someone greeting him as soon as he entered the classroom. It was Ino.
"Yes, Ino. Good morning!”Shen replied politely. He then walked towards his seat. When he passed by Naruto, he greeted him,"Naruto, are your injuries alright?”"Uh, it's okay, it's okay. Uncle Naruto's body is very good. "Haha…" Naruto was stunned when he saw Shen greeting him. He then spoke in a carefree manner. It was obvious that he was very happy. "Oh, that's good!" Shen then walked to his seat and sat down.
"Good morning, Chen Jun!" Xiao Jing smiled as he greeted Shen. "Haha! Good morning, Jing." The two of them greeted each other. This time, Shabi Taiyi, who was sitting on the other side, did not say anything!
After that, Iruka walked into the classroom and announced the start of the class. He continued to talk about the Muye Chronicles from yesterday, hypnotizing Shen until he fell asleep on the table. It was only after school was over that he was woken up by Jing.
It was the same on the second day, the third day, and the fourth day.
After that, Shen slowly became familiar with the various cockroaches in the original novel. Although Shen was very cold at home, he was very easy-going outside. He was not as arrogant as Sasuke, so everyone was willing to make friends with Shen. As for Ino and Sakura, they were still as love-struck as in the original novel. However, unlike in the original novel, Sakura was still pestering Sasuke, while Ino was always following Shen. The two of them did not become rivals like in the original novel, but a pair of very good friends.
A week later, Iruka began his real lecture after he finished explaining the Muye Chronicles. He explained the nature of the chakra, the types of chakra characteristics, and the chakra refinement technique. However, all of this was useless to Shen. He continued to sleep. Originally, Iluka was extremely disgusted by Shen's actions. However, after Shen displayed his chakra in front of him, he did not bother about it anymore. Then, everyone knew that Mu Ye's ninja school had produced another genius. Uchiha Tatsuki, the son of the current leader of Uchiha, was the younger brother of Uchiha Itachi, who was also a genius in school. In comparison, even though Sasuke Uchiha was also outstanding, he was still slightly inferior to Shen. The crowd once again sighed at Uchiha's talent.
That year, Uchiha Tatsuya and Uchiha Sasuke were six years old and enrolled in the Ninja School. In the same year, Uchiha Itachi joined the Dark Group at the age of 11 with the strength of a Jounin.
...................................................................................................................
Uchiha had been suspected by the village after the disaster four years ago. After all, the only one who could control Nine Tails was the Sharingan. From then on, Uchiha was suppressed everywhere in Koba. Under the request of the higher-ups of Koba, Uchiha was forced to move his family to a corner of Koba Village.
In the end, Uchiha's family decided to launch a rebellion in order to restore their family's reputation and status. Among them, Itachi's father, Uchiha Tomitake, became the planner and leader of the rebellion. He forced Itachi to become a member of the Dark Group to obtain information on the upper echelons of Koba for the Uchiha family.
Another two years passed.
In the past two years, the upper echelons of Koba used Itachi's love for peace and his reluctance to fight against war to force him to monitor Uchiha. From then on, Itachi became a double agent who weighed the pros and cons between Koba and Uchiha's politics.
In a secret base in Muye, three people were discussing something. Among the three, one was Uchiha Weitake, one was Shimura Danzou, and the last one was Koba's third generation, Naruto Akari Riken.
"Erasel, have you thought it through? If Uchiha were to start a rebellion, we would definitely send ninjas to stop him. At that time, many people would die! Of course, this includes your two younger brothers.”Tuan Zang said calmly to Weasel. "Wait a minute, we should negotiate with Uchiha first!”The third-generation successor said to Tuan Zang. "Negotiate? That was impossible. Uchiha had been plotting for a long time. They would not accept negotiations.”Tuan Zang refuted the third generation.
At this moment, Weasel, who was half-kneeling, said,""If I make a move, will I really let my two younger brothers go?”
"Yes, but one person must enter the 'root'!”
"No! We can't let them enter the 'roots'."
The Root was created by the group. Most of the members were from the blood or secret families in Muye. After entering, they would be planted with all kinds of charms and brainwashed into tools that would only obey the orders of the group. Compared to the Dark Group, it had greater flexibility and specialized in assassinations, intelligence, and other high-risk missions. It was an elite organization that the group had carefully cultivated and could only hide in the dark forever.
"You have no choice, or you want both of them to die.”Tuanzang forced the ferret.
"Tuan Zang, you're going too far!”The third-generation successor berated Tuan Zang.
"How about this? Have you thought it through?" Tuan Zang ignored the third-generation successor and asked Weasel.
" At this moment, Weasel closed his eyes in pain. His hands were clenched tightly, and his nails were digging into his flesh, but he was indifferent.
In the end, Itachi Masa opened his eyes and said to Tuan Zang,""I will make a move. After that, I will bear all the crimes and escape from Muye. I only hope that you will keep your promise.”
"Don't worry, I only want one Uchiha to join the root. I won't do anything to your other brother.”
"In that case, I'll take my leave first." Uchiha Weitake bowed to the three representatives and left.
"Tuan Zang, why are you doing this? Aren't you going too far?”After Itachi left, the third generation asked Tuan Zang.
"Humph! Uchiha is too dangerous. I don't want too many Uchiha to escape my control. You don't have to worry about this.”After Tuan Zang finished speaking, he also walked out.
" Sigh…" The third-generation successor sighed helplessly as he watched Tanzo leave.
