Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 391: I can only solve it myself

"Sasuke wants to go to another kindergarten?"

The father's voice was filled with doubt.

This is also normal.

Fugaku Uchiha was very puzzled that his son would choose to go to a different kindergarten.

However, considering that the Uchiha kindergarten was indeed inadequate, Fugaku Uchiha felt that his son shouldn't have such outstanding discernment, but he also wanted to think about his son's future.

only……

"I definitely want Sasuke to go to another kindergarten. Putting aside other options, Southeast Kindergarten and Hyuga Kindergarten are both very good."

The pharmacist at the Southeast Kindergarten, Ms. Nonou, even has an intermediate-level attending physician certificate. Itachi and Sasuke may not need to study medicine, but anyone who can pass the intermediate-level attending physician exam is an extremely talented individual.

After saying that, Fugaku Uchiha thought for a moment and added, "Especially now that Lady Tsunade's Medical Ninja Manual has reached its thirty-seventh volume."

Upon hearing this, Mikoto Uchiha quickly suggested, "Then why don't we send Sasuke to the Southeast Kindergarten?"

Fugaku Uchiha hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "I want to, but... Sasuke is my child, and I am the head of the Uchiha clan..."

"Snap"

Uchiha Mikoto slammed her hand on the table.

Fugaku Uchiha immediately panicked and quickly reassured him, "Don't worry, don't worry, let me explain slowly!"

Seeing his wife's unfriendly expression, Fugaku Uchiha felt somewhat helpless.

Even if he has the Mangekyou Sharingan, and even if his fighting power is the strongest in the Uchiha clan, he is indeed in the wrong in this matter.

and……

Sasuke is also his son, and he cares about Sasuke a lot!

Therefore, he was actually unhappy, but he couldn't show it.

"You should know that I've always wanted to integrate the Uchiha clan with the inner city, right?" Fugaku Uchiha asked Mikoto Uchiha.

Mikoto Uchiha nodded: "Of course."

At this point, Mikoto complained somewhat to Fugaku Uchiha: "If you weren't the head of the Uchiha clan, I could have taken Itachi and Sasuke to live in the inner city long ago!"

Fugaku Uchiha was a little embarrassed because Mikoto Uchiha was right.

If Fugaku Uchiha hadn't been the head of the Uchiha clan, they would have moved to the inner city long ago.

Life might indeed be a bit tougher after moving to the inner city. Fugaku Uchiha will become an elite Jonin under Yua's command, earning a salary similar to other elite Jonin each month, but enough to support his family comfortably.

after all……

Isn't the Minato Namikaze family just like this?

The only difference is that Kushina Uzumaki would occasionally take on some missions with Minato Namikaze to supplement their income when she had nothing else to do.

Kushina cannot accept missions on her own.

It's not that Kushina lacks strength, but rather that her identity is too important.

At least there's still half of the Nine-Tailed Fox inside her.

Kushina cannot afford to make any mistakes.

Therefore, Minato Namikaze is naturally the best escape tool.

After all, the Flying Thunder God Technique is something those who know it understand; it's incredibly easy to carry someone away.

If Fugaku Uchiha wasn't the head of the Uchiha clan, then their daily lives would probably be similar to those of Minato Namikaze's family.

But there are no "what ifs" in life.

Fugaku Uchiha, left with no other option, could only continue the conversation:

"In recent years, I have been working to promote the integration of the Uchiha clan into the inner city."

To be honest, there has been progress.

Mikoto Uchiha looked at Fugaku with a puzzled expression: "There's been progress? Then why do you still come home so late every day and look so tired?"

Fugaku Uchiha smiled wryly and said, "Actually, I can say for sure that those seven old men are very willing for our Uchiha clan to be integrated into Konoha's inner city."

Mikoto Uchiha looked at Fugaku Uchiha with a strange expression: "Fugaku, are you delirious from a fever?"

"Leaving aside the fact that there are only seven old men left, are you sure they all want to go to the inner city?!"

Fugaku Uchiha nodded: "I can say with 100% certainty."

Don't look at me like that. The reason they're still unwilling is actually quite simple:

The profits aren't big enough.

Mikoto Uchiha seemed to understand: "So you mean they actually know that incorporating the Uchiha clan into Konoha's inner city would benefit them, but they disagree because the benefits they themselves wouldn't receive are too great?"

Fugaku Uchiha gave a wry smile: "How could they not understand?"

It's been almost thirty years. In which year of those thirty years did each of them fail to receive three or four hundred million by the end of the year?

If we're talking about the lowest amount, it was during the first few years after the Hokage took office. I still clearly remember that at the end of the first year after the Hokage took office, my great-grandfather almost fainted after learning that they could share in 200 million ryo of wealth.

However, our annual profits are now twenty to thirty times that amount.

These family elders have become quite picky about food.

After my great-grandfather's generation and my second uncle's generation passed away, although the family power fell into my hands, their descendants never relinquished control over the distribution of profits.

Mikoto Uchiha frowned as well.

After thinking for a moment, Mikoto Uchiha asked Fugaku Uchiha, "So you've been negotiating prices with them all this time?"

Fugaku Uchiha shook his head with a wry smile: "It's not just recently, it's been like this for the past three years or so."

Mikoto Uchiha was genuinely surprised: "The last three years or so?!"

Fugaku Uchiha sighed helplessly: "At first, each of them wanted a year's share. Yes, each of them wanted nearly 5 billion ryo in wealth."

Mikoto Uchiha took a deep breath and immediately cursed, "Are they brain-dead?! How could they make such an outrageous request?!"

Who could possibly afford this?! Not even the Hokage could!

Fugaku Uchiha looked at Mikoto Uchiha with a strange expression: "Um, it's fine if it's the Hokage, because the largest gambling den in Konoha, as well as most of the restaurants and jewelry stores on East and West Streets, belong to the Hokage."

Therefore, the Hokage certainly possesses a mere 50 billion ryo.

Mikoto Uchiha's eyes lit up immediately: "In that case, we can..."

Fugaku Uchiha immediately waved his hand: "No, if we let the Hokage get involved in the Uchiha clan's affairs, then it won't be the Uchiha clan integrating into Konoha Village, but the Hokage annexing the Uchiha clan."

Do you really think the Hokage was unaware of my situation these past few years? Of course he could easily solve my predicament, but what would happen afterward?

After that, the Uchiha clan completely disintegrated, and may follow in the footsteps of the Senju clan.

"The Hokage wouldn't let me remain the head of the Uchiha clan after solving such a huge problem for me. Therefore, if I resign or am expelled from the village, it would be because the Hokage is kind-hearted. If he doesn't want my family to have a good life, he could even execute us at will."

Mikoto Uchiha fell silent.

Indeed, Fugaku Uchiha's status as the clan head was his biggest weakness.

It's impossible for Yuya to allow Uchiha Fugaku to continue to have such great power after paying a huge price to protect him.

and so……

"So we're the only ones who can solve this problem ourselves, right?"

Fugaku Uchiha nodded helplessly.
