Only I can make Konoha Village great again.

How strong is Orochimaru?

He fought the entire match in both Shinobi World Wars.

He commanded the Konoha ninja army in battles against the four great ninja villages, and fought against powerful figures such as the Kazekage, Tsuchikage, Raikage, Mizukage, and Hanzo.

Eighty percent of Konoha's Jonin had served under Orochimaru, winning wars under his command and earning the merit to be promoted to Jonin.

His former subordinates are spread throughout various departments of Konoha Village, and he actually holds real power in the village.

Yamanaka Chuuku laughed and said, "It's decided! I'm going to become Orochimaru's student, and then persuade him to become the Fifth Hokage!"

"Once this step is completed, there's nothing more to do."

"Haha, I'm so clever!"

……

Uchiha Shisui carried Itachi back to the clan's territory and informed Uchiha Mikoto that Itachi suffered from a mental illness.

Uchiha Mikoto was shocked upon hearing this and immediately thought of her experience on the battlefield last year.

She suppressed her anger and settled her eldest son, then angrily confronted her husband.

"Fugaku, are you aware that Itachi has mental problems?"

Fugaku Uchiha was preoccupied with being forced to move, but he was still shocked by his wife's words. He immediately flew into a rage and demanded, "Who is cursing my son?"

Mikoto said, "Shisui told me that the diagnosis was made by a ninja from the Yamanaka clan!"

"I told you Itachi was too young to go to war, but you just wouldn't believe me!"

"Now look what's happened, our son has developed mental health issues, what will become of his future?"

Upon hearing that it was a diagnosis from a Yamanaka clan ninja, Fugaku Uchiha's anger subsided.

With a livid expression, he asked Shisui who the ninja was who had diagnosed Itachi and what the specific situation was.

Apart from the name Yamanaka Hatsukyu, Uchiha Shisui didn't hide anything and revealed all the information about the killing line.

Fugaku Uchiha gleaned more information from Shisui's relayed words.

For example, when he heard that "Hiruzen Sarutobi and the Sarutobi clan are not the same thing," Fugaku suddenly felt enlightened, and many seemingly unsolvable problems suddenly had a new direction for solution.

Upon hearing that "the Third Hokage was not Danzo Shimura" and "Root has never represented the Hokage," Fugaku felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

He understood from these two sentences that "the Third Hokage cannot fully represent Konoha Village," and he was greatly shocked.

It's like the shock of a nearsighted person suddenly seeing the world clearly when they first put on glasses.

It turns out that the wrong choices I was forced to make in the past were not because I had no other choice, but because I hadn't found the right solution.

Fugaku vaguely felt that as long as he understood the reasoning behind these words, he would definitely be able to find a solution to the Uchiha clan's crisis.

The more he thought about it, the more reliable it seemed, and the more excited he became. He completely forgot about his son's illness and stood up to walk around.

Suddenly, Fugaku Uchiha stopped, stared at Shisui, and asked, "Who told you these things?"

"I want to visit him in person and ask him how to save the Uchiha clan..."

Seeing the clan leader's anxious expression, Uchiha Shisui opened his mouth to say Yamanaka Hatsukyu's name, but he couldn't say it no matter what.

Shan Zhongchu Jiu is not a rigid fellow.

He limited himself from harming kind people and refused to recklessly alter his perception of good people, but he also set exceptions for himself.

That is, when there is a possibility of threatening one's own safety, all previous self-restrictions are nullified, since the original purpose of all restrictions is to protect oneself.

To disregard one's own life for the sake of so-called restrictions is putting the cart before the horse!

So Yamanaka Chukyu still made a move against Uchiha Shisui, but he restrained himself by adding two layers of restrictions to his desire to express himself.

Whenever the topic of the ninth day of the ninth lunar month comes up, I forcibly interrupt Zhi Shui's thoughts, forcing him to rethink before speaking, instead of blurting everything out in a moment of excitement.

Saving the Uchiha doesn't mean sacrificing yourself!

Due to the restriction of the Mind Lock, Uchiha Shisui did not blurt out the name of Yamanaka Hatsukyu, but instead made a promise to Uchiha Fugaku about Hatsukyu.

Fugaku Uchiha immediately understood that the other party did want to help the Uchiha, but did not want to take any risks, which was why they indirectly conveyed the message to him through Shisui.

Fugaku Uchiha agreed without hesitation and promised to accept indirect communication with Shisui and Itachi in the future.

After clarifying the important matters, Fugaku inquired carefully about Itachi's condition, and quickly regretted, saying, "I am truly an incompetent father."

Zhi Shui comforted him, "Clan Chief, there's no need to worry. If Senior Shan Zhong Chu Jiu was able to diagnose it, he can definitely treat it too."

Fugaku's eyes lit up: "Shisui, you're right, the Yamanaka clan can definitely cure it!"

Uchiha Mikoto was overjoyed: "Great! I will visit Yamanaka Inoichi tomorrow and beg Yamanaka Hatsukyu to treat Itachi."

Fugaku Uchiha got excited and blurted out, "I'll go with you. You have to be sincere when you ask someone for a favor."

Itachi Uchiha was his eldest son, on whom he placed great hopes, and his proudest son.

He had been foolish enough to bring his child to the battlefield, which caused the child to become seriously ill. Of course, he wanted to do his best to make amends.

Uchiha Shisui advised, "Clan Chief Fugaku, I think it would be better if you didn't go."

Fugaku immediately understood Shisui's meaning and realized that he had gotten too excited.

The Uchiha clan is currently burdened with the blame, and the suspicion of controlling the Nine-Tails is difficult to clear. They are also being forced to move by Hiruzen Sarutobi, so it is indeed not appropriate for them to personally visit the Yamanaka clan.

Moreover, he had just promised to communicate indirectly with Yamanaka Chujiu, so wouldn't it be breaking his promise to go to his door in person?

Taking Itachi Uchiha to seek medical treatment was the most appropriate choice for Mikoto Uchiha.

This would not only prove how much the couple values ​​their child, but also prevent Yamanaka Inoichi and Yamanaka Hatsukyu from refusing to meet.

Fugaku Uchiha sighed deeply: "In that case, I won't go."

"Shisui, I'm asking you to go with Mei and bring my gift."

"Please rest assured, Clan Chief Fugaku, I will protect Aunt Mikoto and Brother Itachi!"

In the blink of an eye, Fugaku Uchiha became excited again and shouted at the door, "Someone come here!"

Uchiha Tetsuka appeared at the door: "Clan Chief!"

Fugaku took out his formal attire and put it on, while instructing, "Notify the four elders to gather in the conference room; I have something to discuss with them."

"Yes, Chieftain."

Upon receiving the order, the fire instantly vanished.

Mikoto Uchiha frowned and said, "It's already dark, are you still going to a meeting?"

Fugaku replied excitedly, "Shisui's words gave me a completely new perspective on the situation, and there is hope that the Uchiha's predicament can be resolved."

"I must take advantage of this moment when my inspiration is still fresh and quickly discuss a concrete plan with the elders. Tonight, we must come up with a concrete solution to completely resolve the troubles facing the Uchiha clan."

After saying that, he hurriedly left home.
