Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 58 Uchiha Fugaku (Please continue reading)

Uchiha Fugaku?

Upon hearing this name, Yuzhi's good mood vanished instantly.

He knew that this bastard was on the front lines with his son, accumulating merits for himself while also giving his son experience points.

Besides his familiarity with the environment of the Land of Grass, Yuzhi also has extensive combat experience in Kirigakure.

There was also the factor that Fugaku Uchiha wanted to run for Hokage in order to ease internal clan conflicts.

Although this conflict was subtly provoked by Hagoromo.

Yuzhi never expected to meet this guy here, especially since this old lunatic has a little lunatic with him.

After all, their previous interactions were far from pleasant, and he had deliberately pushed himself into the fray.

What frustrated Yuzhi was that even though he had long held the idea that "a great man should not live a life of subservience to others," he still couldn't change his mind.

But this guy is still the head of the Uchiha clan. Even if he has the Mangekyou Sharingan, Fugaku Uchiha probably does too!

Moreover, he has no intention of revealing this matter at this stage, after all, Konoha has always been very wary of the Uchiha clan.

"Besides, who knows if Konoha has any experience in dealing with the Mangekyou Sharingan?"

The inventor of "Evil Uchiha Brat" was Tobirama Senju, who once killed Izuna Uchiha, who possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Furthermore, during his reign, he was always dedicated to preventing the emergence of another Madara Uchiha, so he never stopped his research on the Uchiha clan and the Sharingan.

Who knows, he might have left behind some method to deal with the Kaleidoscope, even if he trained someone who could stab Susanoo with a kunai.

After settling Hikari in, Hagoromo followed Uchiha Arashi all the way to Uchiha Fugaku's residence.

As the clan head, his treatment was far superior to that of ordinary ninjas. He had his own tent, and the environment was much better than in other places.

"Haori-kun, you've come."

As soon as he stepped into the tent, Fugaku Uchiha's somewhat cheerful voice rang out.

Looking around, he realized he wasn't the only one in the tent; his eldest son, Uchiha Itachi, was also there!

At this time, Itachi Uchiha was only four or five years old, but the boy looked like a little adult.

He simply sat quietly to the side, watching the two of them without saying a word.

"Chieftain."

Yuzhi withdrew his gaze from Itachi Uchiha and then nodded slightly to Fugaku Uchiha.

But that was all; his attitude remained as indifferent as ever.

"Please sit down."

Fugaku Uchiha showed no dissatisfaction; he maintained his smile.

"It's a pity this isn't our clan's territory, otherwise I would bring out the finest tea to entertain our hero."

"Thank you, Chief. Elder Sha Na also invited me to have tea, but unfortunately I was too young to appreciate its flavor."

Yuri naturally understood what Uchiha Fugaku meant, but he ultimately declined the invitation tactfully.

At this moment, Yui was also a little curious. What did Uchiha Fugaku mean by this?

After all, on the surface, he is a member of Uchiha Setsuna's group.

"Perhaps I'm too young to appreciate the flavor of tea; I apologize for my presumption."

Fugaku Uchiha's smile faded slightly, and he hesitated for a moment before continuing to speak.

"However, Yui-kun is just too outstanding, which is why I overlooked him a little."

He performed exceptionally well in both previous and current missions, and even Minato-kun praised Haori-kun highly.

"If it weren't for Jonin Minato's rescue during the last mission, I probably wouldn't have made it back."

Yuri glanced at Uchiha Fugaku, and he knew the real show was about to begin.

"Haori-kun, the family and the village will always be one."

As expected, Fugaku Uchiha spoke softly.

"If the village is in trouble, the family will naturally suffer as well. I hope you can understand, Haori-kun."

For the sake of the village and the clan, didn't Obito also rush to the battlefield?

It's a pity that the child will remain on this land forever.

These words caused Yuzhi to fall silent for a moment. He now understood why Uchiha Fugaku had come to him this time.

But he also felt a little strange. Wasn't it a bit too unlucky to have found the culprit after searching for someone?

"Indeed, it's such a pity about Obito."

Although Yuzhi felt strange, he still nodded.

"However, Obito's sacrifice for his family and village is honorable."

Fugaku Uchiha sighed, then spoke with a serious expression.

"I think his will will continue to inspire us and guide us forward, right?"

You know what? This guy and I had a fight not long ago.

Uchiha Fugaku's words sounded grand and dignified, but inwardly Hagoromo couldn't help but want to complain.

I think so.

Although she felt extremely strange inside, Yuri, who was used to talking nonsense to ghosts, blurted it out anyway.

Yes, it will.

This statement pleased Fugaku Uchiha.

"Haori-kun, I've always thought that Obito and you are both role models for the clan and heroes of the village."

Although Obito has passed away, I still feel that his will deserves respect and steadfastness.

Even though he did some unconventional things.

After speaking, Fugaku Uchiha quietly looked at the haori.

Not only him, but even Itachi Uchiha, who was standing next to him, looked over.

Itachi Uchiha only had a vague understanding of the conversation between his father and Hagoromo.

However, he was strictly taught from a young age what he should and shouldn't ask.

Moreover, his father had taught him to learn to think for himself.

Therefore, he also got into the habit of keeping things to himself and figuring them out on his own.

Looking at the strange looks in the eyes of this father and son, Yu Zhi couldn't help but find it a little funny.

Just as he had guessed, he had to once again marvel at how truly genius Fugaku Uchiha was!

"I agree with the clan chief's words; heroes deserve respect."

Yuzhi was filled with amusement, but he still spoke seriously.

"But clan leader, I am just a Chunin. Even though I am fortunate enough to be valued by Elder Setsuna and be able to participate in the clan meeting."

But I'm still young and inexperienced, so no matter how I think about it, it probably won't have any impact.

"Haori-kun has already reached the three-tomoe level, I think you need more resources."

Fugaku Uchiha frowned slightly upon hearing this, especially when he heard the name Setsuna Uchiha.

"The elder's authority may not be enough, but I think there's something I can do, after all, you are the future of the family."

Furthermore, it's not really appropriate for you to continue serving as a Chunin. I will recommend you to take the Jonin exam after we get back.

Haori-kun, perhaps I didn't respect your wishes last time before assigning you a task.

I'm sorry for this, but as the clan leader, I have more to consider, and I hope you understand what I mean.

After all, Minato once said, "You're a smart kid, smart in every way."

I understand the saying that wealth and status are sought through flattery.

Yuzhi shook his head inwardly; now he understood something.

Even if Fugaku Uchiha comes to the battlefield, he probably won't have a good time, as Setsuna Uchiha is putting a lot of pressure on him.

Otherwise, this wouldn't have happened.

"You flatter me, clan leader. I am just an ordinary Uchiha who fights for honor."

Yuzhi gently shook his head, and his expression became much more serious.

"Heroes are indeed worthy of respect, but some things may only be answered after returning to the village."

"Perhaps, it seems I was a bit too hasty."

Fugaku Uchiha's expression shifted slightly, but he quickly revealed a smile.

"Then, I will prepare tea and we can discuss it in detail later. Perhaps you can try some tea, Mr. Haori."

After all, one can experience all the flavors of life through tea.

I think I will.

Haori nodded, then stood up.

"Then I shall take my leave, Chieftain."

Fugaku Uchiha nodded slightly, keeping his smile as he watched Yuki leave.

His smile only gradually disappeared after Yuzhi left.

"Itachi, what do you think of him?"

After a while, he suddenly spoke up and asked Itachi, who was standing to the side.

"Father, although I don't quite understand what you're saying, but..."

Uchiha Itachi pondered for a moment before answering.

"Hane-senpai was a hero of Konoha, and he also respected the heroes who had passed away. He must have been a very good person."

"Yeah?"

Fugaku Uchiha didn't know whether to believe it or not, but after a moment he sighed.

"Maybe so, but don't associate with him anymore. He's not as simple as you think."

Throughout the entire ordeal, Yuzhi never uttered a single word about "respecting the hero's will."
