Chapter 107 Father and Son Talk at Night, Expanding Ambition (Recommendation Required)

"Itachi, what's wrong?"

Fugaku was stunned for a moment. He was about to go back to the study to handle some documents. Looking at the serious expression on his eldest son's face, he nodded:

"I understand, come with me."

Itachi followed Fugaku obediently, and the two of them walked towards the study.

"Brother, brother."

At this time, Sasuke was preparing to play happily with his dear brother after dinner, but he saw his brother leaving with his father.

Sasuke was now basically able to move independently. Seeing Itachi was about to leave, he shouted anxiously.

Seeing this, Uchiha Mikoto on the side quickly ran over and hugged Sasuke, "Sasuke, dad and brother have important things to talk about now, so let mom play with you for a while first, okay?"

Uchiha Mikoto was also helpless, Sasuke seemed to be unusually clingy to Itachi.

And Itachi has been very sensible since he was a child. Even though Itachi is only 7 years old now, neither of them treats Itachi as a child.

Fugaku began to train Itachi very early. Whether it was in terms of ninjutsu or thinking, he was exposed to things that children of the same age could not access early.

Apparently they were going to the study to discuss something, as the clan members had been in a lot of trouble lately.

Several elders from the tribe came to visit in person to express the dissatisfaction of the tribe and the demands of the tribe.

Fugaku, the clan leader, was also in a dilemma, and Mikoto could tell from his expression.

Although Fugaku was usually very serious, whenever Itachi came back, the father and son would always make Fugaku laugh with a few words.

Especially after Itachi became a genin, he became much more cheerful than when he was in the ninja school, and the father and son communicated more.

"Brother, brother." Sasuke in Mikoto's arms was still a little dissatisfied. He grabbed his hands in the air and stared closely at Itachi's leaving back.

"Sasuke, be good." Sasuke, who was gently swaying in Mikoto's arms, looked at her husband and eldest son with complicated eyes. He didn't know how long such a peaceful and warm day could last.

At this time Itachi heard Sasuke's call, he turned around, smiled fondly at Sasuke, and said softly: "Sasuke, I will stay with you later."

...

Arriving at the study, Fugaku looked serious and sat cross-legged on the mat with his arms crossed, "Itachi, what do you have to say?"

Itachi had a well-behaved look on his face, straightened his waist and knelt down on the mat, and said seriously: "Father, regarding family matters..."

He recounted the content of today's conversation with Qianhe, and raised his own new questions. It has always been Itachi's good habit to ask if he doesn't understand.

"Father, why don't you tell the village frankly about the clan's demands? As long as you are honest and sincere enough, will the village really ignore it?"

Hearing what Itachi relayed about the relationship between the family and the village that Qianhe said, Fugaku's eyes flashed with surprise. Such a young child actually has such an opinion?

When he heard Itachi's question, Fugaku's face darkened and he said in a deep voice:

"First of all, what I want to tell you is that your friend Qian He's insights are very unique and correct.

In other words, he has very similar ideas to the late Fourth Hokage.

In fact, it's not that the senior officials in the village don't understand this truth, it's just that they are unwilling to do it.

Take the transfer of the Uchiha settlement. For such a big matter, the village did not notify or consult the Uchiha clan in advance.

And the fact that the Uchiha clan was so obviously driven to a corner of the village and isolated showed the problem in itself. The village's attitude was aimed at the Uchiha clan.

How could Uchiha bow his head with such an attitude? Is there any need to be honest?

One day, the Uchiha clan will get back..."

Fugaku's expression became excited at the end, but he stopped talking at the last moment.

The Uchiha clan is a proud clan and a powerful clan.

It’s not that they can’t bow their heads like the village, but they need a step down.

Anyone who advocates strength will definitely compromise with strength. They will succumb to the strong. This is not shameful.

The Uchiha are not an ordinary small clan, they are not inferior to the wealthy Hyuga clan.

Considering that in Konoha, both Hinata and Uchiha are powerful clans respected by the common people, it is obviously unfair to start to compare how the village treats the Hyuga clan and how it treats the Uchiha.

Uchiha Fugaku is also a rational and steady person among the proud Uchiha clan. He did not become the clan leader based on his strength alone.

Thinking about the Fourth Hokage, he became Hokage at the age of 24. The Flying Thunder God is the only one in the ninja world and is powerful in the world. Fugaku asked himself that even if he reveals his long-hidden Mangekyō Sharingan, he may not be the fourth generation's opponent.

When the fourth generation was alive, Fugaku was already 32. He was 8 years older than the fourth generation Hokage, but the fourth generation was indeed stronger than him.

The strength of the fourth generation is still improving rapidly, and its peak period will be at least twenty years.

Even such a powerful fourth-generation Hokage treats Uchiha with sincerity.

It is true that Fugaku felt that the fourth generation's good attitude towards Uchiha was also because he had just come to power and his foundation was unstable, but no matter what the reason.

The fourth generation is sincere and willing to step down from the Uchiha clan, and the two sides will give in and compromise with each other.

In the third war, the Uchiha clan was targeted and treated unfairly. Although they were good at fire escape, the village sent their elite to the Kirigakure battlefield.

As a result, the Uchiha clan exerted no less strength in the three battles, many people died, but their contribution was the smallest.

Since then, dissatisfaction within the clan has been strong.

After the war, the Fourth Hokage succeeded him, and Fugaku even reached a consensus with the Fourth Hokage for a time.

The Fourth Generation would actively meet the Uchiha clan's need to participate in politics, and the Uchiha clan would also have to make corresponding compromises and concessions.

However, the Nine-Tails Rebellion shattered all of this.

The village had been suspicious of the Uchiha clan from beginning to end.

Fugaku's Mangekyō could clearly affect the Nine-Tails, which was already controlled by another pair of Sharingan at the time, and then compete for the control of the Nine-Tails and find an opportunity to reseal the Nine-Tails, but the village would not let them intervene.

Fugaku even suspected that the village deliberately did not let them intervene.

After all, the body of the Nine-Tails was as big as a mountain, and the village would not fail to see the obvious Sharingan mark in the Nine-Tails' eyes.

He even suspected that the village was dissatisfied with the Fourth Generation's excessive favoritism to the Uchiha clan, and watched the Fourth Generation and his wife die in battle. After all, the Fourth Generation and his wife had a close personal relationship with their family.

You have to know that although the village was seriously injured after the three wars, it was not without masters.

The Third Hokage is getting stronger with age. Although his strength has declined, he is still the same ‘Ninja hero’.

Although Danzo is not as strong as the Third Hokage, many of the secrets and forbidden techniques of the Second Hokage are mastered by him.

Why did the Fourth Hokage and his wife die when the Nine-Tails got out of control?

Is it because the Hokage and the Jinchūriki are closely related to the Uchiha, so they were replaced together during the chaos?

Especially after the Fourth Hokage died, the Third Hokage regained power and continued to suppress and target the Uchiha policy with Danzo, which made Fugaku more convinced of this.

In the eyes of Uchiha Fugaku, it is okay to compromise with the Fourth Hokage because the Fourth Hokage is sincere.

It is not okay to compromise with the Third Hokage because the Third Hokage trusts and reuses Danzo, and Danzo has always implemented the Second Hokage’s ideas about Uchiha.

Another important thing is that Fugaku secretly looked down on the Third Generation and Danzo. He is only 34 years old now. In terms of strength, he feels that he is not inferior to the Third Generation and Danzo at all, and his strength is still at its peak and rising period. In the next many years, he will become stronger and stronger, while the Third Generation and others will become weaker and weaker.

There is no reason for the arrogant strong to compromise with the weak, especially since the Third Generation and Danzo have been suppressing the Uchiha with dirty political means, and there was no sincerity in reconciliation from the beginning.

"In my generation, there are elites like Taichi who are in their prime years in the clan, and there are two geniuses, Shisui and Itachi, in the new generation. It is time for my Uchiha to rise.

Just wait a few more years, endure a few more years, if the village really doesn't give in, the Uchiha will naturally have its own way..." Uchiha Fugaku narrowed his eyes.

"Dad, what are you thinking about? Your eyes just now are so scary!"

Itachi's words pulled Fugaku back from his fantasy.

Looking at Itachi's nervous expression, Fugaku smiled on his serious face, "Nothing."

Looking back over the years, Fugaku felt that the one he was most proud of was his son.
