Chapter 541 Fugaku's Deduction

The Land of Fire.

Konoha.

The sun is setting.

After a day of training camp, Itachi headed home exhausted. When he passed by an onigiri store, he suddenly remembered his younger brother at home.

'Sasuke likes bonito onigiri.'

Itachi turned around and walked into the rice ball shop, then bought two bonito onigiri with a smile.

During this period of time, he was faintly squeezed out in Anbu, clansman blocked his path and provoked him, and coupled with Shisui's affairs, all of which made Itachi feel tired, and only Sasuke could heal his tired heart.

Back home, Itachi shouted 'I'm back', but Sasuke didn't run out to welcome him as usual.

Itachi felt something is a little strange. After changing his shoes, he went into the house to look for him. Finally, he found his younger brother sitting on the wooden corridor in the backyard, watching the sunset with his hands on his cheeks.

"Sasuke." Itachi smiled and walked over.

"Big Brother?" Sasuke turned his head abruptly, staring at Itachi with wide eyes. The look in his eyes… is a little strange.

"Why are you sitting here in a daze?"

Itachi picked up the bonito onigiri in his hand and said with a smile, "I bought this specially for you."

"Bonito onigiri!"

Sasuke hurriedly ran over to take the onigiri, but then showed a shy expression, lowered his head and asked, "Big Brother, are you busy in Anbu?"

"It's okay, it's just… sorry, I haven't been able to accompany you during this period of time." Itachi thought that Sasuke was angry, so he apologized in a low voice.

"So why Big Brother ignored me in the morning?" Sasuke grumbled.

"Morning?"

Itachi looked at Sasuke with some confusion. When he went out in the morning, Sasuke was still asleep and he didn't come back until now, so he wondered how could Sasuke see him in the morning?

Frowning slowly, Itachi keenly noticed that something is wrong, and hurriedly asked Sasuke what happened in the morning.

"Yes, that's…"

Sasuke recalled, "Not long after Mom went out to buy groceries, Big Brother came back…"

"What!"

Itachi's pupils suddenly shrank, and his dark pupils instantly turned into scarlet 3-Tomoe Sharingan!

"Big Brother…" Sasuke was a little afraid from the pupil power emanating from the Sharingan.

"Sorry, Sasuke." Itachi quickly closed his eyes, but his hands were clenched tightly, and the veins on the back of his hands are shown.

At this time, Itachi remembered the scene where he went to chase Shisui a few months ago, and finally fell into Shisui's Genjutsu and witnessed the tragic death of Sasuke 'with his own eyes'.

Just now, it seemed that this scene appeared in Itachi's mind again!

'Father goes to work, Mother goes to buy groceries, and I goes to Anbu. There is only six-year-old Sasuke at home.'

'If the person who pretends to be me is malicious, Sasuke…'

Itachi is terrified when he thought of this.

After some time. Itachi finally suppressed the fear and killing-intent in his heart, and then opened his eyes again. His pupils have returned to black, and he asked: "Sasuke, please continue."

"When Big Brother come back, you walked in without changing your shoes, as if you are looking for something. I chased to Father's study, and then, I couldn't find Big Brother."

Sasuke said aggrievedly, "Big Brother was ignoring me."

Itachi forced a smile and said: "Forgive me, Sasuke, there will be no next time."

Poking Sasuke's forehead, Itachi turned and walked towards Fugaku's study, with a solemn and stern expression on his face.

Sasuke took the bonito onigiri and took two bites, and while chewing, he followed Itachi happily, chattering about his little things.

However, Itachi is left ear in and right ear out, so he didn't listen to Sasuke. At this moment, he just wants to find that daring bastard and make him pay the price!

When he arrived at the study, Itachi immediately checked the traces in the study.

Fugaku's study room has always been neat and tidy. Whether it is scrolls or books, they will be placed neatly and spotlessly clean, but at this time, those scrolls and books obviously have traces of being tampered with!

'The target of the other party is these scrolls and books?'

When Itachi was pondering, Sasuke, who was following behind, asked while eating a ball: "Big brother, what are you thinking?".

"Sasuke, go to the kitchen and see if Mom has prepared dinner." Itachi instructed without looking back.

"Oh."

After swallowing the last bonito onigiri, Sasuke stepped on the wooden floor and rushed towards the kitchen.

The study is finally quiet.

Itachi took a deep breath, went up to look at the contents of the scroll and the book, and then sorted them out. He then placed them in their original positions, and at the end…

Itachi frowned slightly, 'It seems a scroll was missing.'

Fugaku would occasionally call him here to talk, so he had a vague impression, but these scrolls and books are his father's after all, so he couldn't be sure whether there were any missing.

'I should just wait for Father to come back.'

"Itachi, what are you doing?"

A calm voice suddenly came from outside the study. Itachi's muscles tensed subconsciously, but then he immediately relaxed.

"Father."

Itachi turned around, and it was Fugaku standing outside the study.

Seeing that Sasuke didn't follow, Itachi recounted what happened in the morning, and finally asked, "Father, the man went into the study and looked through the scrolls and the books. I suspect that his target is here."

Fugaku walked into the study and started to check calmly, and then quickly confirmed: "There is indeed one scroll missing, and it records the Shackling Stakes Technique and Mirror Heaven and Earth Change."

'These two are Sharingan's Genjutsu, and 3-Tomoe Sharingan is needed to be able to use it. It is also extremely difficult to train, and even for the Military Police Force, not many people have mastered it!'

Fugaku glanced at Itachi. A few months ago, Itachi's Sharingan suddenly evolved to 3-Tomoe. At that time, Fugaku was about to hand over these two Genjutsu to him, but because of Shisui's defection, there was some estrangement in the relationship between father and son, so Fugaku didn't give him immediately. Instead, he copied the two Genjutsu on the scroll, and during this period, he intermittently wrote a lot of his experience on it. He didn't expect someone would steal it today!

Itachi said: "Father, this must be done by the people in the clan!"

Fugaku frowned: "Don't talk nonsense!"

"Father, Shackling Stakes Technique and Mirror Heaven and Earth Change can only be used with Sharingan, so other people have no reason to steal it!" Itachi said.

Fugaku snorted silently, but what happened to his son during this time appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but pondered in his heart: 'After Itachi joined Anbu, the clansmen have been targeting him. Today's incident may be really those people who pretended to be Itachi did it like this to disgust Itachi… No, if I discovered this first, then Sasuke would be the witness against Itachi! Their real purpose is to provoke our father-son relationship!"

The more thought about it, the uglier his face became.

"Father, what do you plan to do with this matter?" Although Itachi was surprised by the change in his father's expression, he is more concerned about the safety of his family, 'This time, the other party just steals things. But what if he hurts Sasuke next time?'

Fugaku said in a condensed voice: "I will let the Military Police Force investigate, no matter who it is, I must find out!"

…

The night gradually darkened.

The depths of the Forest of Death.

As usual, Kanpū created five Byakugan shadow clones to patrol and monitor the surroundings, while the main body was being beaten by the other five Byakugan shadow clones.

Plak plak plak!

Plak plak plak!

After a fierce battle, Kanpū waved his hand to stop.

During the break, Kanpū took out a small scroll from his pocket, which was the one that Sharingan shadow clone, Ōmadara stole from Sasuke's house.

Of course, Kanpū at this time didn't know that his petty theft had caused Fugaku's infinite associations. If he knew… he would have given Fugaku a thumbs up!

At this time, the night is dark, and the moonlight was also blocked by the lush branches and leaves of the dense forest, leaving only dotted of fuzzy lights and shadows.

Kanpū asked the shadow clone to get some dry firewood, set a small fire, and then he read the content on the scroll with the light of the fire.

Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique.

Demonic Illusion: Mirror Heaven and Earth Change.

On the scroll, there are only two Genjutsu, but there are a lot of words in it, all of which are full of notes on the experience of these Genjutsu. Kanpū was stunned, and then read these notes happily.

The Shackling Stakes Technique is to pull the opponent's spirit into the Genjutsu world created by oneself, and then nail their limbs with huge stakes. The opponent will not only completely lose the control of their body, but also accompanied with severe pain. It is the best Genjutsu for torture!

As for Mirror Heaven and Earth Change, it is even more terrifying. The user can directly bounce back the Genjutsu casted by the opponent on them to the opponent!

In theory, even Tsukuyomi can be bounced back by Mirror Heaven and Earth Change. Of course, the theory has always been exaggerating, and the reality is always cruel.

After reading these, Kanpū threw out the Collection Technique.

The green light cluster in his mind surged and boiled rapidly, but it quickly subsided, showing the collection failed.

Kanpū is not angry. After all, he was only randomly throwing Collection Technique at Hyuga Clan's members during these days, so he is not afraid of wasting it.

Another Collection Technique was thrown, but it still failed.

The last time, it failed.

'Awesome!'

Kanpū angry was so angry that he wanted to throw the scroll into the fire.

Fortunately, the five Byakugan shadow clones stopped him in time!

Stuffing the scroll back into his pocket, Kanpū had almost finished resting, so he immediately continued the five-to-one.

Gentle Fist Art -Eight Trigrams - Sixty-Four Palms! *5

The five Byakugan shadow clones waved their palms unceremoniously towards Kanpū palms, and ten fleshy palms covered the sky, overwhelming, and shamelessly slapped towards Kanpū's buttocks, face, and his big muscle!

Kanpū was both frightened and angry. Relying on Sharingan's sight, Kanpū caught the trajectory of their palms in time. And using Minato's neural reflex, Kanpū's figure is like a little bee flying among flowers, dodging beautifully, one, two, just as he was about to dodge the palms of the third shadow clone, Kanpū's consciousness sank, and the memories and fatigue of the ten shadow clones suddenly poured into his mind.

Kanpū was taken aback, and then he was overjoyed!

When he went to the Land of Grass to find Karin, he created ten shadow clones and formulated ten routes for the shadow clones to bury Flying Thunder God Technique's stones along the way.

More than a month has passed since then, and now, those shadow clones have finally completed their mission!

But before the joy could be revealed from the corner of his mouth, Kanpū was abruptly blown away!

Plak plak plak plak!

On this split second, the palms of the three Byakugan shadow clones have fallen on Kanpū one after another, forming a Chopin's Nocturne!

Not to be outdone, even the two shadow clones, who were dodged before, rushed up to slap Kanpū, slapping endlessly, making the symphony even better!

Kanpū was only distracted for a second, but he was already slapped nearly a hundred times by these five little beasts!
