Master, please become the Hokage

Sarutobi Ryo's face was solemn.

The subversive fact shocked Itachi's mind.

"Your father, other Uchiha clan ninjas, including your mother, have all been discriminated against and oppressed..."

"..."

Uchiha Mikoto nodded, acknowledging what Sarutobi Ryo said.

Itachi in the original work.

It can be said that the will of the heart is so red that it turns purple.

Until he grew up and encountered the Iron Fist Hammer of Fire Will.

Even so, he remained loyal and did not turn into a traitor.

Because his mindset is too deeply fixed and he can't change it.

In this world, Itachi is still young and has not yet entered the ninja school.

Telling him some things in advance will help shape his personality and help him see the world more clearly.

"To change the future of the Uchiha clan, your talent and power are needed..."

Sarutobi Ryo stated.

There aren't many ninjas who can change the Uchiha clan.

Uchiha Obito is one, and you are one too.

"The burden of the clan rests on your shoulders..."

In the end, it will allow the Uchiha clan to continue to be oppressed.

Or change the status quo and prove that the Uchiha clan is also capable of serving as Hokage.

Should I do it myself, or put my hopes on Uchiha Obito and others?

For Itachi, whose dream since childhood was to become Hokage, this was a very simple question.

"Mother, I hope to take Young Master Liang as my godfather."

Itachi immediately looked at his mother, Mikoto, and expressed his intention to embark on a path of true will of fire.

Hearing her son's answer, Uchiha Mikoto's eyes flashed with understanding: "Okay..."

Sarutobi Ryo was delighted to have an adopted son, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

The tragedy of the Uchiha clan will also be reversed in his own hands.

"Then, tomorrow... I'll be waiting for Itachi to come..."

Sarutobi stood up and prepared to leave.

Today is the last day of the wake.

After tonight is over, tomorrow will be the right time.

Afterwards, Sarutobi Ryo quickly left.

"Weasel..."

Mikoto withdrew her gaze from the courtyard entrance.

She looked at her son with relief in her eyes.

That's the look of a mission accomplished.

"Since you have made your choice, you must follow Master Liang...your adoptive father, understand?"

His mother's soft voice made Itachi subconsciously feel a little strange.

But he couldn't understand the determination in Mikoto's eyes.

"Yeah." Itachi nodded.

After he left, Uchiha Mikoto once again looked at the portrait of her late husband in the living room.

Bits and pieces of memories come flooding back to my mind.

In the end, Uchiha Mikoto made a decision that she had made long ago.

The big thing has been done, Itachi's future is determined.

Then there would be no reason for me to continue living.

It's time to... follow Fugaku.

Chapter 104. Mikoto commits suicide

Uchiha Mikoto's determination comes from her own personality.

In the work Naruto, some female characters are specifically designed to serve certain male characters.

For example, Uchiha Mikoto and Hinata.

The reason they exist is that they are obsessed with someone. In simple terms, they are...completely love-brained.

Without this setting, they seem to become empty existences.

Of course, from a positive perspective, it can also be said that it is a deep love.

In the original work and official novels, whenever Uchiha Mikoto is mentioned, it is generally the husband and wife who follow each other, with Uchiha Fugaku being the main character.

——Instead of focusing on the children.

Hinata is the same in this regard.

For example, if your husband and child fall into the water at the same time, who should you save first?

Mikoto and Hinata must have made the same choice, to save their husbands first.

Even if her husband doesn't need them to save him.

This results in them finding it difficult to survive on their own without their partners.

Now that Itachi's matter has been settled, recognizing Sarutobi Ryo as his adoptive father is equivalent to entrusting his life to him, and he no longer has to worry about his growth.

This is equivalent to fulfilling the last wish.

Uchiha Mikoto felt that she could certainly follow her deceased husband and reunite with him in the underworld.

then.

Uchiha Mikoto took out the poison she had prepared long ago and drank it all in one gulp.

......

It was less than half an hour when Sarutobi Ryo learned that Uchiha Mikoto had committed suicide by taking poison.

Sarutobi Ryo was not surprised by Uchiha Mikoto's determination.

Fortunately, Itachi discovered what happened to his mother in time.

After the Uchiha clan members from the neighborhood hurriedly sent her to the hospital, Nohara Rin happened to be on duty in the medical team.

She personally performed first aid on Mikoto.

Fortunately, Nohara Rin has received guidance from Tsunade these days, and her medical ninjutsu has made great progress.

She confirmed Sarutobi Ryo's judgment.

He became a medical expert second only to Tsunade.

In the future, maybe she can be comparable to Tsunade.

Thanks to such superb medical skills and timely medical treatment, Uchiha Mikoto did not die.

Of course, this is also because Uchiha Mikoto herself is a Jonin.

Even if he took poison, he would not die immediately like an ordinary person.

Her strong physique allows her to last longer.

For example, Kankuro in the original work.

After being poisoned by the scorpion, he endured for three days and three nights, waiting for Sakura to run all the way from the Land of Fire to the Sand Village in the Land of Wind.

It means he was rescued.

No matter how strong the poison in Mikoto's suit is, it can never compare to Scorpion's.

In addition, timely medical treatment was provided and rescue was carried out in time.

Nohara Lin saved him from life-threatening danger in an instant.

Sitting on a bench in the corridor outside the emergency room, Itachi's face was silent, but confusion and sadness flashed in his eyes.

Sarutobi Ryo sat nearby.

After hearing what happened, Yashiro and others were extremely anxious and paced back and forth.

"Weasel..."

Sarutobi Ryo reached out and touched Itachi's head.

First, his father died in the war, and then his love-brained mother was going to follow his father. This must have been a big blow to him.

And Itachi must have wondered why his mother would do this.

He was still young and didn't understand the relationship between men and women.

"Your mother loved your father deeply..."

Sarutobi Ryo explained.

"When you grow up and have someone you like, you will understand..."

"Yes, Master Liang... No, foster father." Itachi nodded and said softly.

He was still wearing the black clothes. Today was the last day of keeping vigil for his father, but something like this happened.

Just then, Nohara Lin opened the door and walked out.

She breathed a sigh of relief and told Yashiro and the others that Uchiha Mikoto was out of danger, but still needed to stay in the hospital for further treatment.

The people who came to visit breathed a sigh of relief, asked some questions, and then gradually left.

The so-called tea is cool when people leave.

After Uchiha Fugaku died in battle, Itachi was well taken care of for a period of time.

But as time went by, people gradually forgot about Uchiha Fugaku's achievements.

Being alive is completely different from being dead.

Everyone left one after another, and the corridor became deserted again.

Although there are people coming and going, no one cares about this place.

Until a red figure appeared, it was Kushina.

When she heard that her best friend had committed suicide, she understood, but also felt sad.

As a good sister who truly cares about her bestie, her arrival is a matter of course.

Accompanying her was Minato Namikaze.

Minato Namikaze has not had a good time these days.

He felt very anxious for the first time as he was condemned and questioned by senior executives such as Koharu Utatane and Enmi Mitokado.

Now that something like this has happened again, will the Uchiha clan... still support him?

I saw Sarutobi Ryo and Itachi sitting together.

Minato Namikaze's heart skipped a beat and he had a bad feeling.

As expected, the next moment, Itachi stood up and responded to Kushina's concern and finally said: "Thanks to my adoptive father for asking Miss Lin to personally rescue my mother, my mother... is temporarily out of danger..."

Because Nohara Rin is a member of Anbu Team 6.

In addition, Sarutobi Ryo completely obeyed his instructions. Itachi saw this and gradually understood the situation.

He knew that it was his adoptive father who used his connections to get Miss Lin to personally rescue his mother.
