I have a bunch of relatives who want to become Hokage.

"It's alright, clan leader, I'm fine."

"I wasn't talking about you."

Fugaku Uchiha decided not to ask any more questions and picked up his teacup again.

Don't count on it; even if it were him, he wouldn't come back.

"Have you noticed what Obito is planning to do?"

"He wants to get the Nine-Tailed Fox."

"Hmm?" Fugaku Uchiha put down the teacup he had just picked up. "Are you sure? Is the source of this information reliable?"

“He’s quite reliable. He told me himself.” Uchiha Shingen felt thirsty, picked up his teacup and gulped it down, then continued, “There’s this thing next to him that claims to be the embodiment of Uchiha Madara’s will. That thing is no ordinary thing. Obito’s strength is not what it used to be. He’s even awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.”

Fugaku Uchiha couldn't even sit still in his office right now, let alone drink tea.

Are you kidding me? That's a kaleidoscope, not a roadside tube!

"Describe that incarnation of Madara Uchiha's will."

"Hmm... that thing actually looks quite unique, you know, Chieftain. To give you an example, it's like a little lamb farting like a goat, both stylish and flamboyant."

I don't know anything!

Fugaku Uchiha almost couldn't resist giving Shingen Uchiha a Kaleidoscope Set as well.

This generation of young people is truly impressive; two are kaleidoscopes, and one seems to have unlocked a kaleidoscope.

Since the village was founded, the Uchiha clan has never been this wealthy.

But each of their problems was more serious than the last, yet Uchiha Shingen was still in the best condition among them.

Fugaku Uchiha has decided to increase the intensity of Itachi Uchiha's training starting today.

Speaking of which, Itachi, like Uchiha Shingen, was born with three chakra nature transformations: fire, wind, and water.

Fugaku Uchiha made a decision.

"Shingen."

"Ok?"

Do you have a girl you like?

"Huh?" Uchiha Shingen was startled.

The Ninja Clan possesses many characteristics of clans on Earth, such as their concern for the sowing of offspring among their descendants.

The Uchiha clan even set up a special "marriage market," but young people never went there; it was all people who were already parents.

As for someone like Uchiha Shingen who has awakened the Sharingan, the Uchiha clan will do everything they can to have him settle down internally. If he finds a girlfriend from another region, the girl's ancestors for eighteen generations will be thoroughly investigated, for fear that her genes are not good.

Shingen Uchiha stated that he is a staunch non-marriage advocate.

What if I get a third playthrough?

Moreover, he felt he was better suited to assigning homework to others than doing his own.

"Chief, you understand..."

"I don't understand!" Fugaku Uchiha interrupted Shingen Uchiha. "Just tell me directly whether it exists or not."

“Yes, of course!” Uchiha Shingen said, beaming. “Uncle Medicine Flavor has been there too.”

"Huh!?" Fugaku Uchiha was startled at first, and then he really understood.

Sure enough, I have to set this guy up on blind dates; he just needs to be kept in line.

Thinking about the changes in his wife before and after marriage, Fugaku Uchiha sneered inwardly.

You think you understand women? No, you don't understand them at all.

"Alright, I understand. I'll handle things later. Don't feel pressured; it won't hurt to get to know him better. There's one more thing, something personal." Without giving Uchiha Shingen a chance to mince words, Uchiha Fugaku moved directly to the next topic, "About Itachi, what do you think of that kid?"

"Itachi?" Uchiha Shingen's attention was drawn. "How has he been lately?"

“I asked Shisui to train him before, and now I want you to teach him for a while as well, since his chakra nature transformation is the same as yours.”

"Oh?" Uchiha Shingen recalled for a moment.

However, I don't really remember those details. I only vaguely remember that Itachi Uchiha seemed to know Water Release.

In the past, Uchiha Shingen would have been unwilling to teach, but now he doesn't care.

"That's no problem, but Chieftain, isn't everyone busy with missions right now?"

"Don't worry, after these three months, the frequency of our clan's missions has decreased. At least, there won't be as many high-level missions anymore."

Uchiha Shingen nodded upon hearing this, indeed, three months had passed.

In the ninja army, ninjas with official positions do not usually accept missions. If it weren't for the previous competition for high-level missions, the Uchiha clan wouldn't have had so many mission opportunities.

However, there are only so many high-level missions available during peacetime, and three months is enough to consume a lot of them.

Now that the year is almost over, the quota that could be allocated to the Uchiha clan must have been almost used up.

"Understood. When does it start? By the way, are there any requirements regarding what to teach?"

"There are no requirements, just do what you think is best."

“Alright, then, clan leader, regarding…”

"Well, that's all. You can go back now. Your information is very important. I need to contact the elders immediately to discuss it." Uchiha Fugaku once again shut down Uchiha Shingen's words.

Uchiha Shingen knew this was intentional, and while he internally grumbled a couple of times, he didn't really care.

It's just a blind date, no big deal.

So-called blind dates are only a fine line away from being a scoundrel. It's only because Uchiha Shingen has integrity and doesn't eat the grass near his own house that he would need Uchiha Fugaku to introduce him.

His two family members always bring back a bunch of informational materials every time they visit.

Before Obito Uchiha "sacrificed" himself, his grandmother brought back even more.

What's the use?

Therefore, no one can stop him from shining brightly for the world.

He will always be the man the girls of Konoha can never have. At most, they can have him for a while, but they shouldn't even think about it. His heart belongs to everyone.

After all, he's a man of the Love Clan.

Chapter Thirty-Three: My Son Has the Potential of a Hokage

Itachi Uchiha has been very happy these past few days.

Because Brother Shisui has finally returned.

Itachi Uchiha enjoyed training with Shisui Uchiha and sharing his thoughts.

Compared to his peers, Itachi Uchiha's overall demeanor was noticeably different. He appeared more mature, which could be attributed to his father being the clan leader, thus instilling in him the importance of being cautious in his words and actions from a young age.

The Uchiha are not the Hyuga. In the Hyuga, there is a strict hierarchy, and the authority of the elders and the clan head cannot be challenged unless the two sides provoke each other. Ordinary clan members are not allowed to participate in clan meetings.

The Uchiha clan didn't have such a strict hierarchy, especially after Madara Uchiha left. The atmosphere of the clan changed a lot. In the clan, abusing power for personal gain was equivalent to death. If the clan leader did something inappropriate, the old men and women in the clan would dare to block the gate of the clan leader's house and curse him.

In the Uchiha clan, very few people think that being the clan leader is a good job.

Having learned from a young age to be cautious in his words and actions, Itachi Uchiha was naturally much more reserved. Especially after his father, Fugaku Uchiha, took him on a battlefield experience, he became the perfect second-generation Fugaku-style poker face when he was out in public. He was taciturn and polite, and apart from not being very approachable, he didn't seem to have any major problems.

He only behaves completely differently when he's with Shisui.

On the training ground, after finishing his genjutsu training under Shisui's guidance, Itachi Uchiha sat down to rest, feeling very tired.

"The traces of the genjutsu are still too heavy, Itachi." Uchiha Shisui looked at his little brother gently. "Didn't I tell you, if someone notices it, the genjutsu has already failed halfway. You need to guide the situation according to the circumstances."

"Shisui-nii, it's because your genjutsu is too amazing." Itachi pouted. "Why did you lose to Uchiha Shingen? Is he really that strong?"

He had never shown this expression in front of his own parents.

"That was my own doing that backfired." Uchiha Shisui felt embarrassed thinking about it. "I wanted to use genjutsu to make him transcend his narrow love for his clan and instill in him a greater love for the village."

"and then?"

“Then…” Uchiha Shisui’s expression turned strange, “I discovered that his love for the village was even greater than mine…”

"Huh?" Itachi Uchiha was shocked. "He loves the village even more than Shisui!?"

Is he really that kind of person with an extremely unhealthy private life and who's incredibly stingy? The few times he's attended clan meetings, he's always been indirectly opposed to the Hokage Building.

“Yes…” Uchiha Shisui’s expression grew increasingly strange. “I think he must be the person in the clan who loves the village the most…”

Uchiha Shisui recalled the overly realistic dream that followed the genjutsu's rebound. He had originally intended to have a proper conversation about these things with Uchiha Shingen during this mission, but unfortunately, he didn't find the opportunity.

On the other hand, Itachi Uchiha felt that his worldview had been severely shaken.

Is he too young? Does he not understand the different ways adults express their love?

But Uchiha Shingen isn't exactly an adult, is he?

"Alright, Itachi, you can find out about Shingen's situation yourself. My experience is a good example of what happens when you learn a lesson. The risk of genjutsu comes from the opponent's resistance. Once the resistance is successful, the damage suffered by the caster will actually exceed that of the opponent."

The two then continued their training diligently.

As usual, Itachi Uchiha trained until he was completely exhausted before heading home.

Back home, his mother, Uchiha Mikoto, was busy in the kitchen, while his father, Uchiha Fugaku, sat at the dining table.

Unlike usual, Fugaku Uchiha had a small pot of sake warming beside him and was drinking it.

"Father, Mother, I'm back."

"Hmm, how was training today? Did you cause Shisui any trouble?" Fugaku Uchiha looked at his son with satisfaction.

It doesn't matter if this term seems to be a failure, because he firmly believes in one thing.

My son has the potential to become a Hokage!

"How could that be? I have always listened to what Brother Zhishui said."

"Okay, that's good. I'll take a shower and come back for dinner. I have something to tell you."

Uchiha Itachi responded and went back to his room.

As Mikoto Uchiha began serving the dishes, Itachi Uchiha changed his clothes and returned to the dining room.
