Master, please become the Hokage

The name Shunshin Shisui came much later.

"Master Liang."

The Uchiha Yashiro had a gloomy expression and was in a low mood due to the death of his clan leader.

Sarutobi Ryo invited him into the house.

Soon, Uchiha Yashiro explained his purpose.

"Captain Fugaku left behind his last words before his death..."

Uchiha Yashiro looked at the young man in front of him, his eyes flashing with a variety of emotions.

"Captain Fugaku said... Master Liang is a ninja with the will of fire. He sees the future of the Uchiha clan in you..."

Everyone saw all of Sarutobi Ryo's behavior.

Because he is the son of Hokage, everyone will talk about how great the Hokage's son is after dinner.

therefore.

Most of Sarutobi Ryo's deeds are widely known.

This naturally includes Uchiha Fugaku.

Uchiha Fugaku mentioned it more than once in the clan's secret meetings.

If Sarutobi Ryo became Hokage, the current situation of the Uchiha clan would definitely change.

This idea became clearer after Obito's death.

Uchiha Fugaku could see that Sarutobi Ryo had been helping Hatake Sakumo, hoping that the latter could become Hokage.

Konoha White Fang is the fourth generation.

Then, Sarutobi Ryo is the fifth generation.

The Uchiha clan...could be the sixth generation.

because......

"Captain Fugaku's son... Itachi is a true genius. If he can receive Master Liang's guidance and even protection, he will definitely become Hokage..."

The eighth generation of Uchiha mentioned Uchiha Fugaku's son, Uchiha Itachi.

Itachi's talent completely surpasses that of the Sannin.

"This is what Captain Fugaku said calmly... It's not a boast, but..."

Yashiro tried his best to explain.

In the current situation of the village, Itachi's talents cannot be fully utilized.

Just as the Uchiha clan has always been suppressed by the top leaders.

No matter how capable you are, it's useless if no one wants you.

so......

"Once things settle down, I will visit you in person."

Sarutobi Ryo immediately gave Yashiro an answer.

This surprised Yashiro, who wanted to persuade Sarutobi Ryo.

Then, a look of joy appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but wipe away his tears, sighing in his heart: "As expected... Captain Fugaku was right..."

Wait until the happy and sad Yashiro leaves.

Shan Zhonghui asked: "Master, are you really going to take care of the Uchiha clan? That's a hot potato..."

In response to Yamanaka Hui's question, Sarutobi Ryou nodded.

The true will of fire is to protect important people or things.

The Uchiha clan is also part of the village, so naturally we should protect them...

Chapter 80. Miojin Mikoto, Itachi

Uchiha Fugaku's name was engraved on the memorial tablet.

Ninjas without bodies, such as Obito, would do the same.

Amaterasu burned everything, even Uchiha Fugaku himself.

Uchiha Fugaku's mansion was shrouded in a sad atmosphere.

Uchiha Mikoto...the widow of Uchiha Fugaku, was dressed in black.

A portrait of her husband is placed in the living room.

Uchiha Itachi, the son of Uchiha Fugaku, who is much younger than Kakashi, is also keeping vigil for his family.

Although he was young, he understood everything while kneeling in front of the portrait.

He was taken to the battlefield by his father at a young age.

Not a ninja, and hasn't even entered ninja school yet.

Just because Uchiha Fugaku wanted his son to realize... this is a cruel world.

This was…the Uchiha reality.

As parents, we always don’t want our children to repeat the same mistakes we made.

Uchiha Fugaku grew up like any other child, entering a ninja school, graduating like any other child, and yearning for the title of Hokage...

But I only found out later.

The reality is not as simple as he thought.

The Uchiha clan...although they are also part of Konoha, they are completely different from others.

There are also more problems to face.

and so.

Having once gone astray and understood things too late, he decided to let Itachi accept some things in advance.

Uchiha Fugaku, who is not good at speaking, believes that the best way to sharpen a person is to let him realize the truth of the world early on.

This embodies the parents' painstaking efforts and love for their children.

But...Uchiha Itachi is still young after all.

Going to the battlefield too early and seeing the mountains of corpses and seas of blood will leave a deep psychological trauma at this age.

Witnessing the death of one's father will affect a person's life.

——For example, Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan from the Land of Rain.

Nagato witnessed his parents being killed by Konoha ninjas.

Later, he witnessed Yahiko's death due to Danzo's plan.

These painful experiences completely changed Nagato, or rather...shaped Nagato into a certain person.

So, will Uchiha Itachi also follow the path of the original work?

Probably not.

The premise is...he can realize what his father's death means.

Just like Might Dai's sacrifice of his life, illuminating the way forward for the next generation, and ultimately making Kai a most upright ninja.

As one of the mourners, Sarutobi Ryo went through the motions like everyone else.

"Please grief."

After speaking the official language according to the situation, Sarutobi Ryo walked aside.

After all, Uchiha Fugaku was a well-known figure, so naturally many people would come to pay their respects.

Of course, most people just go through the motions.

"Thanks......"

Uchiha Mikoto returned the greeting, and Itachi beside her bowed as well.

As one person after another finished their formalities, the place began to become deserted.

Uchiha Mikoto looked at the empty yard and was about to close the door, but suddenly found that Sarutobi Ryo was standing at the door and had not left.

"Master Liang?"

Uchiha Mikoto recalled her husband's last words that Yashiro had brought back.

I also heard from Yashiro that he went to talk to Sarutobi Ryo at his residence.

Knowing that Sarutobi Ryo had something to say, she invited Sarutobi Ryo into the living room that had lost its owner.

When they returned again, Sarutobi Ryo was accompanied by Yamanaka Hui.

This is a way to avoid suspicion.

After all, Uchiha Mikoto's family is now an orphan and a widow.

"Mrs. Mikoto, I won't say any polite words. I'm sure you and Mr. Fugaku have a lot to learn about the situation the Uchiha clan is facing..."

Sarutobi Ryo looked at the beautiful woman in front of him.

Kushina was also seen among the mourners.

She felt extremely sad that her good sister had encountered such a thing.

Knowing that it takes time to heal a loss, Kushina, who had experienced the pain of losing a country, decided to let time heal her best friend's sorrow.

"Itachi..." Uchiha Mikoto looked at her son beside her, not knowing whether she should let Itachi hear the next conversation.

"Mrs. Mikoto, it's okay. My young master came here to discuss the future of the Uchiha clan... Itachi is Mr. Fugaku's son, so he should also participate in the conversation as a member..."

Yamanaka Hui immediately smiled and stopped Uchiha Mikoto from letting the child leave.

Uchiha Mikoto was slightly stunned.

She thought to herself, this Young Master Liang in front of her seemed... not determined to treat Itachi as an ordinary child?

"Uchiha Itachi... I heard about your situation from Mr. Yashiro..."

Sarutobi Ryo immediately looked at Uchiha Itachi.

The latter immediately stood up with a slightly serious expression.

This shows the good upbringing of the Uchiha Fugaku family.

And this quality is known to all civilizations, both near and far.

Even his old father, Sarutobi Hiruzen, admired the family style of the Uchiha Fugaku family.

"You are not an ordinary child. You are born with intelligence and talent...but this talent is like a rough jade..."

Next.

Sarutobi Ryo told Uchiha Itachi about Kakashi.

Kakashi was once very proud too.

Without being severely beaten, he took many detours and made many wrong decisions.

It was not until Uchiha Obito died in battle that he understood... talent can sometimes be a burden.

"..."

Uchiha Itachi listened to this metaphor thoughtfully.

Of course he knew the story of the genius boy, Kakashi Hatake, the son of Mr. White Fang of Konoha.

He also knew that Konoha White Fang was most likely to become the Fourth Hokage.

This is what my father said many times when he was alive.

Then, Ryo Sarutobi told the story of Might Dai.

Then...he told the story of his guide, Senju Nawaki.
