Konoha: I, Uchiha, just want to die.

Chapter 458 Become the clan leader, Uchiha Fugaku!
#
After the meal, Uchiha Ci, who had a 'Seal of the Four Symbols' on his chest under his clothes, said goodbye to Kushina and left the neighborhood.
The three members of the Minato team suddenly received a mission to go to the Water Country. There was chaos in the Water Country. These things happened unexpectedly.
Uchiha Ci had no way of judging whether this was arranged by Uchiha Madara.
but,

Things have their priorities.
Now, compared to solving the threat posed by Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Ci really has no time to be a babysitter to escort Obito and his crew on their journey to the Water Country.

If his next action failed, even if he saved Obito, he would not be able to change anything due to the inertia of history.
If the next action is successful, it will be equivalent to solving the impending crisis from the root.

This adventure that started in the Ninja World has reached its final moment.

After obtaining the 'Seal of the Four Symbols', Uchiha Ci rushed back to the Uchiha clan without stopping. He first proposed to pay a visit to the old man Uchiha Setsuna, but the old man was upset for some reason and was turned away. Then, he changed his route and visited the Uchiha Fugaku family who seemed to be waiting for him.

at this time,

In the tea room of Uchiha Fugaku's mansion, the two sat opposite each other.

Fugaku knew Uchiha Ci's personality, so he didn't beat around the bush. He just poured a cup of tea and pushed it over, then asked,
"Have you already been to the Great Elder?"

"Well," Uchiha Ci had a worried look on his face, shook his head and sighed.
“The old man wouldn’t see me”

"It should be a side effect of the Kaleidoscope Eye Technique. He told me at the beginning that the price of this eye technique is oblivion."

"Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why the old man's behavior before and after the Battle of Hell Valley would be so different."

Fugaku looked at Uchiha Ci in surprise.
“You’ve already guessed it.”

Uchiha Ci took the tea and drank it in one gulp. Then, his face became serious. He turned to stare at Uchiha Fugaku sternly and asked in a deep voice,

"Let's talk about this later,"

"It may be a little presumptuous to say this, but—"

"Brother Fugaku, have you already activated the Mangekyō Sharingan?"

"Before I returned to the clan, did you meet Uchiha, Madara?"

After hearing this, Uchiha Fugaku opened his eyes wide in surprise.

He had never expected that Uchiha Ci had guessed everything, even without any previous contact, and guessed the effect of his Mangekyō Eye Technique, and directly told him the name of the thug who almost blinded him.

And Uchiha Ci would say this, it's also very simple,
There have been many speculations about the character of Uchiha Fugaku in previous lives.

Ignore the work mistakes of Kishimoto who knows nothing about Naruto, (real)
The most reasonable guess is that Uchiha Fugaku's Mangekyō Sharingan is a time-related eye technique. On the night of the genocide, it was because he had seen the doomed ending countless times that he finally chose to let the couple die under the knife of his mad son, just to buy a way to survive for his youngest son Sasuke.

Fugaku is a dull man who is not good at expressing his feelings, but there is no doubt that his love for his children and his family is real.

At a time when the contradictions could not be resolved, he also had the courage to launch a coup. However, such a man who had the courage to launch a coup finally chose such a cowardly way to die on the night of genocide. The Mangekyō Sharingan inserted by the animation team, which did not clearly state its eye ability, is actually the most reasonable and officially recognized patch.

It is based on this point that Uchiha Ci made such a bold guess.

And at the same time,
The reason why Uchiha Ci said this directly was because now he no longer needed to explain the source of his information to others.

When a person becomes stronger than anyone else can imagine,
Then,

People who look up to him will automatically come up with reasonable explanations for his extraordinary behavior.

No matter how fantastic this explanation is!
Now, judging from the expression on Fugaku's face, this should be correct.
"You guessed it right."

Uchiha Fugaku was silent for a while, then nodded. He did not question where Uchiha Ci got the information from, but slowly recounted what happened to him.
"Here's the thing."

After hearing Fugaku's confession, Uchiha Ci couldn't help but smile and looked straight at Uchiha Fugaku.
"If that's the case, then I'm relieved."

"Hmm?" Fugaku was stunned, and then he saw Uchiha Ci stood up, just like the night of the Nine-Tails Rebellion, and turned to walk towards the terrace beside the tea room.

"Ci, what are you going to do?"

Uchiha Ci walked to the edge of the terrace, raised his head, and looked up at the endless sky. The octagonal sunlight passed through the slowly swaying wind chimes hanging under the eaves and fell on his increasingly resolute face.
Then,

He turned his head, stared at Uchiha Fugaku, and firmly told him his own judgment -

"If you are the current you, you deserve this position, have the qualifications, and the ability to protect this clan!"

"You are different from before!"

No more hesitation in doing things.

The heart-piercing pain turned into the driving force of thinking, causing him to undergo a complete transformation.

Uchiha Ci stared at Uchiha Fugaku with a firm gaze and solemnly entrusted him:
"Become the head of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Fugaku!"

Hearing Uchiha Ci suddenly say such words, he was about to give up the position of clan leader so easily!
Uchiha Fugaku only felt a hoarse sound in his ears, as if he was pricked by a sharp needle. He stared at Uchiha Ci's profile, showing an expression that he couldn't grasp the key point.
"Wait. Ci, why suddenly?"

Uchiha Ci said without hesitation, "Because I believe in you!"

"so--"

A bright smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"During the time I was away, this clan, that stupid old man, and everything——"

"I'm counting on you, Brother Fugaku!"

The words fell,

Standing on the terrace, Uchiha Ci felt a surge of violent chakra surging from his entire body.
He twisted his foot on the ground, raised his hands, climbed onto the roof, and jumped up!

In the peaceful Konoha Village under the bright sun,

He stepped on the bricks on the roof and suddenly jumped up, like an arrow shot into the darkness, flying high into the sky!
Then,

"--boom!!!"

Sonic boom roars and the engines start!
In an instant, a red band of light split the sky and shot towards the northwest of the Fire Kingdom, in the direction of the Rain Kingdom!

Uchiha Fugaku seemed to have lost his voice and stood there in a daze.

Looking at this scene that was like the night of the Nine-Tailed Fox,

a long time,

He could only show a self-deprecating smile on his face.

"Compared to you, how can I be worthy of this position?"

"You little brat, you are truly a gift from heaven to our kind, a light that shines like a shooting star!"

But then he looked up to the sky and prayed with all his heart,

"Whatever you want to do this time."

"Uchiha Ci,"

"You must return home safely!"
