Konoha: I, Uchiha, just want to die

"Mikoto's due date is June this year."

"I'm going to have my first child soon and I'm going to name him Itachi."

"Itachi Uchiha!"

Uchiha clan,

In the center of the clan's land, there is a rather luxurious-looking 'shinden-zukuri' mansion.

Sitting on the edge of the terrace with the door open and letting the moonlight shine in the Japanese-style room,

Uchiha Ci heard Uchiha Fugaku saying this in front of the low table,

After he poured tea for the two of them,

He looked at the bright moon in the horizon and said nothing for a while.

I don't know whether it was because of the emotion of becoming a father for the first time or because Uchiha was not good at speaking, but the atmosphere between the two was a bit cold.

"The name Itachi, I remember, is not a good word, right?"

"Why did you name your child this way?"

Uchiha Ci held the steaming teacup in both hands and asked in surprise,

In the ninja world, itachi is a very unlucky animal.

But Uchiha Fugaku himself is also a genius at naming names.

The eldest son's name is Itachi, and the younger son's name is simply Sasuke after the Sandaime's father.

Uchiha Ci didn't know what he was thinking. This person, whether in his previous life or now, seemed to be covered with a veil, making it difficult to see through.

Call Uchiha Fugaku a dove, but he is willing to lead his people to start a coup. Call him a hawk. This guy can do some crazy tricks that make people mad. In short, he is like a mystery.

"This child was born in an unknown era,"

"War, blood and fire, hatred and hatred continue in the wild. In such a world, if he can be an unknown person, I think he may be able to live an easier life."

"After all, our lives are painful enough."

Uchiha Fugaku shook his head, as if he wanted to tell something, but after thinking about it, he remained silent and did not say anything to Uchiha.

At this time, he raised his head and suddenly said,

"Uchiha Ci,"

"I already know that the great elder recommended you to become the young patriarch."

"and you."

Uchiha Ci raised his head in astonishment and looked at Uchiha Fugaku whose tone was as calm as water, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

It was as if when he became the patriarch, what he took away was not the position of patriarch that the young man in front of him deserved.

Uchiha Fugaku shook his head at Uchiha Ci and said calmly,

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter who becomes the clan leader. What matters is what the person who becomes the clan leader can bring to the clan."

"To be honest, Uchiha Ci, I am relieved because of this."

Uchiha Fugaku took a sip of tea, and then exhaled with relief,

"Although I have the consciousness to become the clan leader, I know that whether it is Uchiha Madara, the former clan leader who led the Uchiha clan to found Konoha, or Uchiha, the former clan leader who, as the second-generation personal guard, made up for the relationship between the village and the clan, Wave mirror, my abilities are insufficient."

"I understand a lot of things, I understand them, but I can't solve them. I can only let them rot and make amends."

"However,"

Uchiha Fugaku suddenly stood up, stared at Uchiha Ci, and said in a deep voice,

"Uchiha Ci, you are different!"

"Your growth rate amazes me!"

"From the first battle, I could only rely on fire escape and shuriken, then I was able to fight against Kage level characters in the Evil God Cult, and finally I became a Sannin disciple and gained the power of the tailed beast."

"In the eyes of outsiders, this is the accumulation of your twelve years of silence suddenly exploding!"

"And only I know-"

"You only spent three days doing all this!"

"There is no doubt, Uchiha Ci, you are a more genius than Uchiha Madara!"

"If you don't make a sound, it will be a blockbuster!"

"Wait, that's just..."

Hearing Fugaku's praise, Uchiha couldn't help but hesitate.

After all, he was flying straight up like a rocket, not relying on his own ability.

It's a coincidence, it's a coincidence!

According to the normal training and mission execution process, even if he failed, he would never be able to become so strong so quickly.

Everything he has gotten so far has been due to luck.

This gave him an illusory and ethereal feeling, like standing on a castle in the air, fearing that one day this foundationless castle would collapse.

By then, what will he have left?

In fact, after returning to the village, there were fewer fierce battles, and the speed of getting stronger quickly slowed down.

And all improvements after reaching the threshold of shadow will slow down and become less obvious.

After all, the upper limit of the ninja world is right there.

If you don’t reach the Six Paths, everything is empty!

"I understand how you feel now."

Uchiha Fugaku looked at Uchiha Ci who looked worried,

His eyes moved slightly, as if he saw his former self.

The same hesitation, the same confusion, the same lack of confidence.

But he didn't understand. What was Uchiha worried about?

He obviously already has such a powerful power, even compared to the previous clan leader Uchiha Mirror who opened the Mangekyo Sharingan. At least he is stronger than himself now, and he will definitely change in the future. Even more terrifying.

In the end, he could only attribute it to the pressure caused by suddenly taking on such a heavy responsibility when he was a teenager.

Looking at the expression on Uchiha Ci's face at this moment, this scene made Uchiha Fugaku feel a little dazed.

His eyes suddenly softened,

This is the same as his expression when he defeated three elite jounin in his family and obtained the position of captain of the police force when he was 16 years old.

They are exactly the same!

Was the way the Uchiha seniors looked at him at that time the same as the way he looks at Ci now?

At this thought, Uchiha Fugaku couldn't help but smile,

He walked up to Uchiha's resignation and squatted down.

He raised his hand and patted Uchiha Ci on the shoulder, looking at him as if he were looking at the same kind of people.

"Don't worry, I will help you!"

Uchiha raised his head in surprise and looked at Uchiha Fugaku with a touched expression.

Suddenly he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Here we go again, here we go again!

Are these Uchihas sick?

So does the Great Elder, so does Seiichiro, and so does Shinichi and Shisui.

This guy Uchiha Fugaku is even more like this now.

Damn it, what on earth is this guy thinking about right now?

"Back to business."

Uchiha Fugaku's face became serious and he asked in a deep voice,

"Although it is a bit presumptuous to ask about other people's techniques, it is very important for the clan to take over the training sessions arranged for you."

"Ci,"

"Are you able to use Fire Release and Chakra Mode without any damage now?"

Uchiha Ci frowned slightly, and finally nodded.

He had only used Fire Release Chakra Mode twice in front of Uchiha people, and after this information was passed back to the clan, the Uchiha clan used it to deduce this almost impossible result.

We really cannot underestimate the intelligence capabilities of our clan.

Seeing Uchiha's admission, Uchiha Fugaku's face showed a look of genuineness,

Then, he nodded solemnly and continued,

"The great elder came back from Hell Valley and told about this matter,"

"If this is true,"

"Then in the next period of time, in addition to practicing the family's forbidden arts, you will also have to practice the Uchiha-style swordsmanship and the matching pupil illusions, so that you can fully perform the Uchiha clan's secret S-level forbidden swordsmanship. Mysterious meaning,"

"Halo Dance!"

"In addition, the family also spent 300 million to invest in Orochimaru's laboratory. When the time comes, you will be required to cooperate with Orochimaru to complete the experiment and cultivate the tailed beast in your body."

"In addition, the message from Orochimaru informed that you are still practicing a special ability. For this purpose, a large number of medicinal materials are required to be mixed and trial-and-error to concoct training resources for you."

"The family spent another 500 million to buy half of the Nara family's medicine field, and spent another 30 million."

As Uchiha Fugaku opened his fingers and reported the family's investment one by one,

The more he listened to Uchiha's words, the paler his face became.

For the first time, I saw what it means to be wealthy!

It cost nearly 100 million just for food, clothing, housing, transportation and various ninja protective gear. Then it invested in a laboratory, bought half of the Nara family, and bought a sub-hospital of Konoha Hospital, and transferred Most of them were pharmacists and doctors to develop prescriptions for mantra practice.

If it weren't for the difficulty of buying Konoha Hospital, Uchiha Ci estimated that this group of people could even buy Konoha Hospital!

Ling Ling finally came down, just to facilitate his practice.

The Uchiha clan spent one billion taels of funds!

This seems to be a forced attempt to turn Uchiha into a krypton gold warrior!

After talking about this,

Uchiha Fugaku took out a letter in brown paper from his arms and pushed it in front of Uchiha Ci.

"correct,"

"This is a letter from the Country of Tang, sent to you by name."

"The sender seems to be named Hidan?"

"Um?"

Uchiha was stunned for a moment and quickly took the letter.

It's actually a letter from my little brother Hidan?

If he did the math, it had indeed been almost a month, and he didn't know what the situation was like in Tang Country since he left.

Open the envelope, take out the letter paper, and unfold it.

Halfway through the letter,

After seeing what is written on one of the lines,

Uchiha stood up suddenly.

He looked at Uchiha Fugaku next to him, his face darkened, and he said solemnly:

"War is about to break out!"
