Only I can make Konoha Village great again.

As dawn broke, Mikoto Uchiha arrived with Itachi Uchiha.

Yamanaka Ino was mentally prepared, so he had his wife, Yamanaka Rino, greet him while he slipped out the back door, ran to the Nara house, and dragged Nara Shikaku out of bed.

Haiyi grabbed Shikaku by the collar and ran home, telling him what had happened the night before, and then said, "You keep an eye on things for me, so that Mikoto's treatment doesn't cause any big problems."

Nara Shikaku said with dissatisfaction, "Yamano Hatsuyu's design was perfect. Why didn't you just let him go pick me up? Why did you have to drag me out of bed?"

Yamanaka Inoichi: "I don't care, you're my partner, you have to give me ideas!"

"Don't forget, it was you who said that the situation in the village is tense and that we all need to be cautious, and that any contact with the Uchiha must be assessed by you."

Nara Shikaku said helplessly, "Alright, alright, let's do it the same way as before. You go back and go see Mikoto directly. I'll stay next door and listen to what she has to say."

Yamanaka Ino nodded: "Okay, don't get distracted this time. When you send me a signal, be more discreet and don't get discovered again."

Nara Shikaku smiled sheepishly: "Hehe, I'll try my best..."

A few minutes later, Yamanaka Inoichi shook his head in front of Mikoto and said, "Hatsukyu's diagnosis should be correct, but as a precaution, I need to conduct another examination."

Mikoto Uchiha was deeply moved and expressed her gratitude repeatedly.

Yamanaka Inoichi gathered his chakra and used the Mind Transfer Technique to examine Uchiha Itachi's brain, analyzing it layer by layer, starting from the completely harmless surface memories.

At the same time, Yamanaka Inoichi was still deliberately comforting Uchiha Mikoto: "Mental illnesses don't arise for no reason. Apart from rare diseases that originate from bloodlines, most of them stem from family misfortunes or major upheavals."

"Fugaku's personality is very stable, and Mikoto, you are an excellent mother. There is absolutely no problem with your bloodline."

"Uchiha Itachi is five years old this year. He has not experienced domestic violence. Even if he has a mental illness, it is not too serious."

"...Holy crap!!"

Yamanaka Inoichi's expression changed. He had learned about the situation from his younger brother, Hatsuku, but he still felt that Fugaku wouldn't be so unreliable.

However, following the spiritual path described in the ninth chapter, he quickly discovered many derivative psychological problems.

Peeling back the layers of psychological issues, Inoichi Yamanaka discovered the real problem: "Post-traumatic stress disorder!"

"This...this is a mental illness that can only be contracted by those who have experienced the most brutal battles on the battlefield. How could Itachi have contracted such a disease?"

Mikoto Uchiha covered her mouth with her hand, suppressing the urge to cry, and explained, "Itachi's father... Fugaku... took Itachi... to the battlefield a year ago..."

"Fugaku said...this is training for children..."

Yamanaka Inoichi roared in fury: "Nonsense!"

"Who would bring such a young child to the battlefield?"

"Has Fugaku gone mad?"

Mikoto quickly regained her composure and asked, "Inoichi, can Itachi's illness be cured?"

Yamanaka Inoichi fell silent.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a very difficult mental illness to treat, and it is even more life-threatening at the age of five, increasing the difficulty of treatment by more than tenfold.

But what's even more critical is that the patient is Uchiha Itachi.

This kid is a genius of the Uchiha clan, and there's a high probability he'll awaken the Sharingan.

As is well known, the pain experienced by Uchiha in battle and the loss of beloved teammates are often the triggers for them to awaken their Sharingan.

Yamanaka Inoichi was unsure whether his treatment would produce any unexpected changes, thus sealing off the possibility of Itachi Uchiha awakening his Sharingan in the future.

In addition, although he had prepared himself mentally last night and planned to take the opportunity to play a trick on Shimura Danzo to clear him of suspicion in advance and get rid of the suspicion that he was closely connected with the Uchiha clan.

But when the time came, Hai Yi was no longer confident.

Danzo Shimura had already bared his fangs, barking wildly at the Uchiha like a mad dog.

The Third Hokage's attitude was ambiguous, but he loosened the constraints on Danzo Shimura, allowing him to act freely.

Instead of directly confronting the Uchiha, the free-spirited Shimura Danzo used the opportunity to put pressure on other ninja clans.

Not only did they take the opportunity to force everyone to distance themselves from the Uchiha, but they also extorted talent from various ninja clans, recruiting young and even child prodigies to join Root.

Everyone knows what a root is these days.

No matter what kind of good child was sent there, they were either brainwashed into becoming Danzo's die-hard followers or turned into corpses for no reason.

There wasn't even a body; it was just a cold, hard "missing" report.

No one wanted to entrust their child to Shimura Danzo, let alone a child with exceptional talent.

However, after the Fourth Hokage's sacrifice, Danzo Shimura frantically expanded the Root organization.

He was putting the most pressure on the Aburame clan, the Yamanaka clan, the Kurama clan, and the last remaining member of the Hatake clan, Kakashi Hatake.

Yamanaka Inoichi did not dare to directly refuse Shimura Danzo, but instead refused to carry out Shimura Danzo's request on the grounds that the Third Hokage had not given a clear order.

By treating Itachi Uchiha, Danzo Shimura might use this as an excuse to launch a vicious attack on the Yamanaka clan.

If we don't treat Itachi Uchiha, it's tantamount to watching Konoha's genius die young.

Yamanaka Inoichi was truly caught in a dilemma, and even Nara Shikaku next door couldn't come up with a solution that satisfied both sides.

At this critical moment, Yamanaka Hatsuyu stepped forward at the right time: "Uchiha Mikoto-senpai, the atmosphere in the village is too tense right now. The Uchiha clan is in the eye of the storm. As the head of the Yamanaka clan, it is not appropriate for my brother to personally treat Uchiha Itachi."

"I was the first to diagnose Itachi's condition, so I'll be the one to treat him."

"Please rest assured, my secret techniques are no less advanced than my brother's, and I guarantee I can cure Uchiha Itachi's illness."

He turned to Yamanaka Hai and said, "Brother, although we are brothers, I am not the clan leader after all."

"As an ordinary ninja of the Yamanaka clan, even if Shimura Danzo wanted to cause trouble, it wouldn't be so easy to implicate the entire clan because of me."

Mikoto Uchiha is not a foolish beauty; she understands the Yamanaka clan's situation and knows that her brothers in the mountains have taken enormous risks.

The understanding and kind-hearted Mikoto was deeply moved and accepted Yamanaka Hatsuyuki's plan, and handed over the money she had prepared beforehand.

Shan Zhongchu took the money and handed it to his elder brother, Haiyi.

Yamanaka Inoichi did not refuse, and took out the brass key that he had prepared in advance from his pocket and handed it to Yamanaka Chukyu.

"This is the key to the Konoha Hospital's mental sealing array."

"The mental sealing array can amplify the effects of secret techniques and reduce chakra consumption. Take Uchiha Itachi to Konoha Hospital."

Uchiha Itachi immediately stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Thank you so much, Yamanaka Inoichi-senpai."

"Thank you for your hard work, Senior Yamanaka Chujiu."

Shan Zhongchu said, "Let's set off now."
