Only I can make Konoha Village great again.

Mikoto Uchiha was in a very happy mood when she brought her son home.

But as soon as they stepped into the house, the mother and son keenly sensed that the atmosphere inside was very oppressive.

Fugaku Uchiha and the four elders sat in the living room, their faces ashen and their eyes filled with an overwhelming weariness, proving that they had just had a big argument.

Upon seeing Uchiha Mikoto and her son return, the four elders managed polite smiles.

The four elders asked, "Mikoto is back. How is Itachi's illness?"

Mikoto bowed gracefully and replied, "Thanks to you, Itachi is fully recovered."

Uchiha Itachi smiled and bowed, saying, "Hello, Grandpa Yomo, Grandpa Setsuna, Grandpa Yuya, Grandpa Yuichiro."

Uchiha Setsuna had a bad temper, but he valued the interests of his clan and his descendants most.

Seeing Itachi Uchiha greet him like a normal child instead of a little adult, contrary to his usual coldness, made him genuinely happy.

"Haha, it really is cured."

"This is how a child should act; the way they acted before just seemed so fake."

Elder Xi Mi said, "It's not fake, it's that the spirit is too close together, like a warrior drawing a longbow to its fullest extent."

"That's how it should be; you can tell at a glance that this is a promising child with unlimited potential."

Fugaku Uchiha was also happy at this moment, glad that his mistake had been redeemed and that he would not regret it for the rest of his life.

The good news dispelled the gloomy atmosphere in the living room, and the five men breathed a sigh of relief and resumed their discussion.

Uchiha Itachi sat obediently to one side, quietly listening to his father and the elders' discussion.

It turns out that Fugaku went to the Hokage Building today to discuss with the Third Hokage the matter of seizing property and the relocation of the Uchiha clan's territory.

As a result, he was once again besieged by the Konoha F4.

Danzo Shimura was responsible for making a scene, using his power to intimidate people without any reason, and blatantly denying the evidence brought by Fugaku.

While Fugaku was both angry and anxious, and his mind was in a daze, Mitokado Homura acted as the good cop to smooth things over, further disrupting Fugaku's thinking and softening his stance.

Koharu Utatane is responsible for playing the straight man, slowing down the pace when needed to prevent Fugaku from getting angry and flipping the table, thus causing the situation to completely spiral out of control.

After the three had had their fill of the "roof-tearing" trick, it was finally Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had remained silent all along, who "opened the window" and once again proposed that the Uchiha relocate to their ancestral home.

However, this time, Hiruzen Sarutobi's reason was no longer that the Uchiha couldn't shake off the suspicion of the Nine-Tails' Night, but rather to help the Uchiha avoid the storm of public opinion.

He made a very sincere promise: "Once the public opinion calms down, I will help the Uchiha."

Then, Fugaku Uchiha agreed in a daze and returned home in a daze.

But no matter how Fugaku Uchiha relayed Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, the elders were naturally not satisfied with the Uchiha clan's decision to relocate.

So they couldn't even wait to go to the meeting room and started arguing in the Fugaku family's hall until Uchiha Mikoto returned with Uchiha Itachi.

After the atmosphere calmed down, the five of them finally calmed down and continued their discussion, reviewing the whole incident and finally figuring out the entire process.

To be honest, Fugaku Uchiha was furious, but he sighed helplessly, "No matter what, I promised the Third Hokage in the name of the Uchiha clan head. I can't, I can't break my promise, can I?"

Uchiha Setsuna slammed his fist on the table: "Nonsense! You're willing to abandon your entire clan for your own face? Do you even deserve to be the head of the Uchiha clan?"

Unfortunately, the other three elders didn't see it that way. They all felt that since the clan leader had accepted it, everyone else should too.

Four to one!

The situation is settled!

Uchiha Setsuna was no longer able to turn the tide. Even though he was so angry that his hair stood on end, he could only sit down, panting heavily.

Just then, Itachi Uchiha, who had been silent all along, asked, "And then?"

Fugaku Uchiha was taken aback: "And then? What then?"

Itachi looked at his father with his dark eyes: "Our Uchiha clan has moved, and Hiruzen Sarutobi made a promise to Father. When will you fulfill it?"

After a long pause, Fugaku frowned and said, "You shouldn't address the Third Hokage by his given name."

Uchiha Itachi retorted, "Why? Is Hiruzen Sarutobi's name something to be ashamed of?"

Fugaku was dumbfounded: "No, it's not polite, it's not respectful enough..."

Itachi shook his head and said, "Father, you don't need to worry about such details as how we address each other."

"Hiruzen Sarutobi said he would help the Uchiha once public opinion calmed down. But what exactly does 'public opinion calming down' mean? Does it mean that no one in Konoha remembers the Uchiha anymore?"

"Is there any time limit to this so-called calm? A month? Six months? A year? Ten years? Or is it forever...?"

Before Fugaku Uchiha could answer, Itachi asked again, "Also, how will Hiruzen Sarutobi help our Uchiha?"

"Is it to help us move back to our current home? Or to declare us innocent and cleared of suspicion in the name of the Hokage?"

"Or perhaps I could say sorry to you alone in the Hokage's office?"

"Or even... they didn't plan to do anything at all?"

Fugaku Uchiha was dumbfounded. He had never thought about these questions before, so of course he had no idea how to answer them.

But before Itachi could finish speaking, he asked in a naive tone, "Father, I remember that land prices in Konoha have increased many times over. Our Uchiha clan's land is in the center of the village, so the land and houses there must be very expensive, right?"

"Our entire clan has moved away. What will happen to our clan land and houses?"

"Is it for rent or for sale?"

"Or does the Third Hokage mean to take the village for free?"

Snapped!

Uchiha Setsuna was extremely excited. He slammed his hand on the coffee table, smashing it to pieces, and shouted excitedly, "Uchiha Itachi was right!"

"I knew it! Hiruzen Sarutobi was lying to us. None of his promises had any specific conditions for fulfillment or any time limits. They were all vague and unclear."

"If he shamelessly denies it in the future, we will have no basis to pursue any claims!"

Fugaku Uchiha frowned and hesitated before saying, "But this is a promise from the Third Hokage, he shouldn't..."

Itachi Uchiha spoke again, "When the Fourth Hokage was alive, was Hiruzen Sarutobi still commanding the Anbu?"

This time, it was Uchiha Shikata who slammed his fist on the table and, moreover, slapped his thigh as he stood up: "Itachi is right! The Third Hokage could manipulate the Fourth Hokage and make Minato Namikaze a puppet, what else wouldn't he do?"

"We were so blinded by our own involvement! We were fooled by the little tricks that Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura pulled together!"

"Fortunately, Itachi was able to see through Hiruzen Sarutobi's hypocrisy with his purest eyes!"
