Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

Chapter 131 Fugaku's Explanation (Please Subscribe)

"Stay here for now, Lady Mikoto. This used to be my home. It's a bit small, but I'll improve it once I become the clan leader. Then we can stay here together."

"That's enough, Yang Yi-jun. This place is already very good. I'm... very satisfied."

Looking at this small detached house, Mikoto Uchiha felt content, even though it was small in every part. It was where Yoichi lived.

"Yang Yi, you don't need to call me 'Madam' anymore. I'm already divorced."

Mikoto said reproachfully, as soon as she entered the room, she felt Uchiha Yoichi's hand getting restless. It was on her waist a moment ago, but now it was sliding down.

"Okay, Mikoto, I'll call you that from now on, unless there are other people around."

Uchiha Yang suddenly felt a surge of desire, as if he had tasted something delicious.

However, Fugaku Uchiha stood outside with a gloomy and ugly expression. He clenched his fist in one hand, his nails digging into his flesh, and blood soon flowed from his palm. In his other hand, he held the luggage that Mikoto Uchiha had packed but had not brought with her.

He saw Uchiha Mikoto leave, but didn't take her things with her, and thought he had overlooked something, so he brought them over for her.

But I didn't expect that.

"You betrayed us first, Uchiha Mikoto. You don't deserve to be Itachi's mother."

Fugaku Uchiha turned and left, and after returning home, he remained almost completely silent.

Uchiha Itachi slowly approached his father's side. He originally wanted to ask some questions about ninjas, but instinctively felt that it was not the right time to speak, so he sat down next to his father without knowing what to do.

"Itachi, do you love your mother?"

"I love him. I love my father too. I hope to become a ninja as strong as my father."

"Is it strong, Itachi? I may not be strong, but you will definitely become a strong ninja. Father believes in you."

Fugaku Uchiha turned around and looked at Itachi seriously, saying to him that at this moment, it seemed that only Itachi had not betrayed him.

Naturally intelligent, even before he had trained, Itachi learned quickly whether it was teaching him to read or learning the basics of ninja, and he basically didn't need to be taught a third time.

If his family hadn't changed, Fugaku Uchiha was confident he could have trained Itachi to be a genius no less than Yoichi Uchiha or Shisui Uchiha. But his mind was made up, and he probably didn't have much time left.

"Itachi, come with me to see someone. He is a famous genius of the Uchiha clan and once gave me guidance."

Thinking of the plans to come, Fugaku Uchiha led Itachi toward the residence of the Eighth Hokage Uchiha.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Yatsuho was entertaining a guest at home, who was also a genius of the Uchiha clan, but not as outstanding as Uchiha Yoichi.

"Shisui, you can now try combining genjutsu and body flicker. Both of these ninjutsu are your strengths, and I have nothing more to teach you about genjutsu. From now on, you'll have to figure it out on your own."

Before Uchiha Yatsuhoshi could finish speaking, the doorbell rang.

So he got up and went to open the door, but when the door opened, Uchiha Hachiro found that the people who came in were Uchiha Fugaku and his son.

"Clan leader, what's the matter? Why did you bring Itachi along?"

"Yashiro, let's go inside and talk."

After glancing at Fugaku's expression, the Eighth Hokage nodded and said, "Alright, come in. But clan leader, Shisui is visiting me today; he's inside."

"Let Shisui look after Itachi. I have something to tell you."

After Fugaku and Yatsuhoku entered the living room, they saw Shisui. Shisui then said, "Shisui, I need your help with something. The clan head needs my assistance. Could you please look after Itachi?"

"No problem, please leave it to me, clan leader."

After standing up, Uchiha Shisui spoke, then walked to Itachi's side. Seeing that Uchiha Itachi, despite his young age, was trying his best to appear calm, he greeted him with a smile, "Hello, I am Uchiha Shisui. Let's take a stroll in the courtyard."

Uchiha Itachi glanced at Fugaku and, after receiving permission, extended his hand to Uchiha Shisui, saying, "Hello, I am Uchiha Itachi."

After the two left, Uchiha Yatsuhoku closed the door and then asked, "Clan head, what happened?"

"I'm divorced from Mikoto."

Fugaku Uchiha originally intended to keep it a secret for a while, but after making that decision, he knew that it could no longer be kept hidden.

Besides, the clan meeting will be held in a while, and all the clan's ninjas, except those on the battlefield or on missions, will participate. By then, they will know about that matter.

"My only worry right now is Itachi. He has great talent, even more so than me. He will definitely become a great ninja in the future. But I may not have time to take care of him, so I want to entrust Itachi to you, Senior Eighth Hokage."

Uchiha Fugaku's words startled Uchiha Yasho. Why was he suddenly getting a divorce and asking for Itachi's help?

"Fugaku, what happened? Why did you suddenly get divorced? And why do you want me to take care of Itachi? What happened between you and Mikoto?"

"I gained some power, but I also lost a lot. Eighth generation, at the next clan meeting, I will use strength to decide who will be the new clan leader between myself and Uchiha Yoichi."

Fugaku Uchiha opened his eyes, and the Sharingan in his eyes had changed. The three tomoe had become a small triangular dart, with three black dots surrounding it. It was no longer the shape of a three-tomoe Sharingan.

"Man... the Mangekyou Sharingan?"

The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha was shocked. How could Fugaku have also awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan? The supreme eye technique that their Uchiha clan hadn't seen for decades had appeared twice in such a short time.

"In other aspects, I may be a little weaker than Uchiha Yoichi. The only thing I can rely on is strength. After the Eighth Hokage awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, I finally understood the true power of the Sharingan."

With a resolute expression, Fugaku Uchiha said, "If I lose, I'll trouble you, Eighth Hokage, to take good care of Itachi. I've already told him before. Itachi will listen to you from now on, and when that time comes, you won't need to treat me as the clan leader anymore."

Even with his Mangekyou Sharingan awakened, he was no match for Uchiha Yoichi. If the Eighth Hokage continued to oppose Uchiha Yoichi, he would die sooner or later.

From that one stab at the entrance of the security team, Fugaku Uchiha could tell that Yoichi Uchiha was a ruthless and decisive person who could distinguish enemies even among his own clan.

"Fugaku, don't do anything foolish. Staying alive is more important than anything else."

With a serious expression, Uchiha Yatsuhoku advised, "Don't you want to see Itachi grow up? He's only a little over two years old!"

"I've made up my mind."

"Even if you've made up your mind, it won't change my mind. Don't forget, you asked me for help with illusion magic back then."

The Eighth Hokage patted Fugaku on the shoulder and said, "I'm a squad leader in the security force, after all!"

"Hazuki-san, where's Itachi? And what are these things doing here?"

Mikoto Uchiha returned home with a flushed face. Although this place was no longer considered her home, her things were clearly kept in the inner room. Why were they taken out?

"It seems that this was taken out by the Fugaku clan head. He went out for a while and then brought it back. After that, he took Itachi out again, and I don't know where they are now."

After thinking for a moment, Uchiha Hazuki said.

But her words startled Mikoto Uchiha. Fugaku had just gone out? And he was carrying my things. Where did he go?

They're probably going to deliver something to me.

Mikoto Uchiha felt a little guilty. She had been with Yoichi the whole time, and they had even taken a bath together afterwards. She had no idea that Fugaku Uchiha had come to see her.

"Mrs. Mikoto?"

"Hazuki-san, I'll be away for a while, so I'll leave the house in your care for now."

Mikoto suppressed her emotions, finished speaking to Uchiha Hazuki, and then hurriedly left with her things.

She didn't know if Fugaku had gone to Uchiha Yoichi's old house. If he had, he should have heard her and Yoichi. She should go and ask Yoichi first.

the other side.

After the Cloud Ninja's envoys settled in Konoha, they prepared to search for Yugito's whereabouts.

Reclaiming Yugito through political negotiations was only the first method, not the only one. If this method failed, they had other options.

"Can you sense Yugito's location?"

"We've sensed it. Konoha hasn't discovered the methods we used on Yugito. We now know Yugito's location. It seems to be somewhere on the outskirts of Konoha."

For Jinchuriki who haven't fully mastered the power of the Tailed Beast, the Cloud Ninja will tamper with the Iron Armor Seal. This way, they can sense the Jinchuriki's location. Only when they have fully mastered the power of the Tailed Beast will the Iron Armor Seal be ineffective against the Jinchuriki, and these little tricks will be lifted.

"Then let's go find Yukito and notify her using communication methods."

The Cloud Ninja envoy glanced out the window and continued in a low voice, "But we need to get rid of the surveillance outside first."

Soon, the two Cloud Ninja envoys tried it out. Coincidentally, Konoha's surveillance of the Cloud Ninja envoys was very lax, and they easily escaped from their residence.

Using stealth techniques, they circled around the Leaf Village barrier, spending considerable time before the two Cloud Ninja finally approached Yugito's location.

They were sent here because they are very skilled at infiltration.

"Signal Yugito and tell her to come out."

"I see."

A Cloud Ninja pulled a squirrel out of his pocket and used ninjutsu on it. The next second, the squirrel, with remarkable intelligence, ran towards the location of the Uchiha family.

After a while, when even the Cloud Ninja who used ninjutsu on the squirrel were somewhat puzzled, Yugito finally came out.

"Senior Hiki, are you here to take me back?"

"Yes, come with me now, Yugito!"

Bimuto Village spoke first, and then tried to take Yugito away.

However, Yugito was taken aback upon hearing this and quickly asked, "Senior Yugito, are we just going to leave like this? No, we definitely won't be able to escape like this."

"Don't worry, Yugito, I have a way to get you away from here."

"Senior Hiki, the person guarding me is Konoha's Raiga. Even if we manage to leave Konoha, we won't be able to return to Kumogakure."

Yugito said in a low voice, somewhat anxiously. She knew what methods Uchiha Yoichi had used on her. No matter how far she ran, Uchiha Yoichi could appear by her side in an instant.

In this situation, unless the Third Raikage escorts her, everyone else will only lose their lives.

"Senior Hiki, can't you use other means to get me back?"

"The village's situation is so-so right now. The Third Raikage has already paid the highest price, but it seems Konoha has no intention of returning you today, so we can only think of other ways."

"Himokuto Village said, but his hand slowly reached for the ninja tool bag behind him and quickly got a kunai; since this method doesn't work, then let's use the final method."

"From what you've said, it's not realistic to forcibly take you away. So we'll have to use the last method: Yugito. But we'll need your cooperation."

Upon hearing this, Yugito's eyes lit up with hope as he asked, "Are there any other methods? I will cooperate fully, Yugito-senpai."

"Tailed beasts are reborn after they die. When they are reborn, they choose the most suitable environment for themselves. The Third Raikage has already confirmed the location of the Two-Tails' rebirth. I'm sorry for the sake of the Cloud Village. Yugito."

After saying that, Himokuto Village suddenly thrust the kunai in his hand into Yugito's heart. This was his last choice to bring the Two-Tails back. Even if he killed Yugito, the Two-Tails would be reborn and resurrected, and then the Cloud Village would still be able to capture it.

But if Konoha gets the Two-Tails, then Kumogakure will never get it back.

When Yugito saw Himuka Village attack her with kunai, she was completely caught off guard, her face showing only shock and fear.

But the next second, she was suddenly pulled up by the back of her neck and flew backward.

"I told you they'd kill you once they knew they couldn't bring you back. What good would it do them to lie to a fool like you?"

As soon as Uchiha Yang finished speaking, his body crackled with lightning. After dodging the kunai, he kicked Kimura Touko hard in the stomach, sending him flying backward in an inverted U-shape. Kimura tumbled backward for dozens of meters, rolled seven or eight times on the ground, and then fell silent.

Another Cloud Ninja who used ninjutsu on a squirrel was also kicked in the neck with a whip kick, his head almost being kicked off. He fell asleep instantly and would never wake up again.

"Going back would delay my important business."

He was just reminiscing about his childhood in Mrs. Mikoto's arms when he was suddenly interrupted by a squirrel and had to put on his pants and come out to see what was going on.
