Naruto, my uncle is going to be Hokage!

Chapter 48: Fugaku, you don’t want to… (Please read)
It has been three days since the battle between Namikaze Mirai and Obito, but the discussion about that battle in Konoha Village has never stopped.

The whole village was filled with excitement.

Just because that battle was too shocking!
If you look up from one-third of the distance in Konoha Village, you can see the purple sea of ​​lightning in the southeast direction.

The raging violent electric current seemed like a punishment from the gods.

After this battle, the originally dense forest disappeared, leaving only a giant basin several meters deep.

The villagers have roughly figured out the two warring parties through discussions over the past few days.

The one who unleashed that horrific attack was none other than Naruto's uncle, Blue Flash Namikaze Mirai.

This powerful man, who has been silent for three years, once again showed his brutal side to the world.

The other person is the murderer behind the Nine-Tailed Night!
After learning the inside story of this battle, most of the villagers trembled with excitement.

The pain from the Night of the Nine-Tails has not yet completely subsided. Not only ninjas died that night, but also a large number of villagers who died in their sleep.

After this battle, Namikaze Mirai's reputation in the village skyrocketed.

Some villagers even compared him to the first Hokage.

Correspondingly, Danzo's reputation fell to the bottom, he became notorious and almost became a rat crossing the street.

Just before this war broke out, there were rumors in the village that the murderer behind the scenes was Danzo's experimental subject.

This battle, which was extremely coincidental, pushed Danzo's infamy to its climax.

Became an object of everyone's contempt.

Danzo felt extremely aggrieved about this.

So frustrating!

Even though I didn't do anything wrong, the blame I was given became heavier and heavier.

Should I be the one to take the blame for all the bad things happening in the world?
As discussions outside became more and more intense, the Uchiha clan.

The patriarch's residence.

The protagonist of the incident, Namikaze Mirai, was sitting cross-legged at the two ends of a low table with Fugaku, sipping tea leisurely.

The aroma of tea leaves floats in the room, adding a touch of elegance.

"In the future, regarding Itachi's apprenticeship..."

Uchiha Fugaku put down the teacup in his hand, words came to his mouth, but he didn't know how to start.

In the battle a few days ago, Namikaze Mirai has already demonstrated his strength.

I'm afraid that even if Minato is resurrected, he will not be as good as his younger brother.

In terms of strength, he is more than qualified to be Itachi's teacher.

only……

There was a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"It was Sarutobi Hiruzen who found you, right?"

Namikaze Mirai picked up the tea, took a sip, and said casually.

"Yes, I can't hide it from you."

Seeing that Namikaze Mirai had already said it on his own initiative, Fugaku seemed relieved and nodded.

Just two days ago, Sarutobi Hiruzen also found him.

Talk to him in detail about Itachi's entry into the ANBU.

Once Itachi joined the Anbu, he would be a direct subordinate of Sarutobi Hiruzen, so it would be impossible for him to become a disciple of Namikaze Mirai.

Uchiha Fugaku was deeply entangled.

On the one hand, it would be of great benefit for Itachi to become Namikaze Mirai's apprentice. With Mirai's strength, he would be more than capable of guiding Itachi.

But letting Itachi join the Anbu seems to be a good choice.

On the one hand, it can ease the increasingly tense relationship between the Uchiha and the village.

Secondly, Itachi could also act as his spy inserted next to Sarutobi Hiruzen and pass on intelligence from the village's top leaders to the family.

Two choices, almost two completely different directions.

Uchiha Fugaku had trouble making up his mind.

Namikaze Mirai saw Fugaku's hesitation clearly.

He put down the tea in his hand.

"Fugaku, you probably want Itachi to be the Uchiha's spy for the higher-ups, right?"

A hint of dryness appeared at the corners of Uchiha Fugaku's mouth.

"Sure enough, I still can't hide it from you."

He was almost transparent in front of Namikaze Mirai. "Fugaku, have you ever thought that Itachi would really act according to your ideas?"

Namikaze Mirai restrained his expression.

"Huh? Why do you ask that?"

Uchiha Fugaku was puzzled. He was Itachi's father and Itachi should act according to his ideas.

Isn't this normal?
Seeing Fugaku's expression, Namikaze Mirai knew that he did not realize the seriousness of the problem at all.

So, I changed the way of asking the question.

"Or, do you really understand your son?"

Fugaku was even more confused. Itachi was his son and he had watched him grow up.

Of course he understands.

"Future, I don't understand what you mean."

"I'll just put it bluntly!"

"Itachi has his own ideas. You planted him in the upper echelons as a spy, and the upper echelons will also let him act as a spy to infiltrate the Uchiha. What do you think he will choose in the end?"

Fugaku's expression turned serious.

"Itachi is my eldest son. Even if he really faces such a choice, he will probably choose the family."

Double agent, this is a situation Fugaku has already considered.

Choose between clan and village.

Having grown up under Uchiha, he would undoubtedly choose the family.

"I don't think so."

Namikaze Mirai shook her head.

"Why?"

"I saw deep confusion in Itachi's eyes, just like a ship sailing on the dark sea. You made him act as a double agent, which undoubtedly greatly aggravated his confusion."

"In this desperate situation, once Itachi finds a little direction, even if it is ridiculously wrong, he will regard it as the last hope and move forward regardless of the consequences."

"Fugaku, you don't want Itachi to cause irreparable consequences, do you?"

Namikaze Mirai looked at him deeply.

A chill ran down Fugaku's spine.

He suddenly felt that he knew too little about Itachi.

Is the eldest son, who has always been sensible and obedient, in confusion and pain?
As a father, he didn't even notice it.

Outside the door, Itachi, holding a cup of freshly brewed hot tea and planning to change the tea for the two, was standing quietly, listening to their conversation.

"Itachi is a precocious and sensitive child, with a depth of thought far beyond his peers."

"What is a family? What is a village? What is magnanimity? I think Itachi must be thinking about these things all the time, right?"

"That is why he needs someone to show him the way, just like a candle lit in the darkness, to help him find the right path."

"Sarutobi Hiruzen cannot do this. He is a politician and a conspirator. His position is only based on his own interests."

"I think I should be able to."

Namikaze Mirai looked solemnly at Fugaku opposite her.

Wow!

The wooden sliding door was pulled open.

Fugaku turned around in astonishment.

It was Uchiha Itachi who was holding the hot tea, his dark eyes already turning red and moist.

pat!

The hot tea in his hand fell to the ground, and the steaming tea spilled all over the floor from the broken teapot.

Itachi knelt down suddenly, his face pressed deep into the floor.

The voice was trembling and earnest.

"Future Master, please accept me as your disciple!"

A smile appeared in the deep blue eyes, and Namikaze Mirai looked at the scene with a smile.

Possessing the ability to sense biological magnetic fields, he had already noticed Itachi's approach.

Those words just now were deliberately said for Itachi to hear.

Did it go as smoothly as expected?
