The remaining fire sword of Konoha

Hearing Uchiha Fugaku mention the current difficulties of the family, Yusuke nodded and said: "Yes, I know all these."

"Danzo has always been at odds with our Uchiha clan. In past internal disputes, the elders have favored Danzo's side. And the Third Generation seems to want us, the Uchiha clan, and Danzo to check and balance each other." Uchiha Fugaku sighed.

"Since I became the clan leader, I have been carefully maintaining the relationships between all parties. However, my ability is really limited, and I have tried my best, but I still cannot win the right to speak for the family. Instead, the conflicts between the family and the village have become more and more serious. more."

Itachi raised his head and looked at the father beside him with a worried expression. These fathers had never told him before, and this was the first time he heard about these family situations.

Although Itachi is only six years old now, his mind is indeed much more precocious than other children. From the words of his father, Uchiha Fugaku, he can feel the crisis of the family and the burden on his father's shoulders.

Seeing that Uchiha Fugaku actually said these words in front of him that could not be mentioned outside, Yusuke knew that Uchiha Fugaku was indeed overwhelmed by the family's problems.

Until this point, the head of the clan would not reveal his inner thoughts in front of a junior like him.

As if sensing the worry of his son next to him, Uchiha Fugaku smiled and touched Itachi's head next to him, indicating that he didn't need to think too much. Then he said to Yusuke: "There are not many ninjas in the family who can stand alone, and among these people, I have not seen a talent who can become the real pillar of the family. Until I heard about your outstanding performance in the three wars, at that time I am very happy and have been paying attention to you."

After saying this, Uchiha Fugaku's expression became serious, and he looked directly into Yusuke's eyes: "But judging from your performance, I don't see the sense of family honor that an Uchiha tribesman should have! You can tell me that the family is here What is your true position in your heart? Yusuke Uchiha!"

Uchiha Fugaku's tone was extremely serious, especially when he said Yusuke's name at the end, his tone became even more serious.

Facing Uchiha Fugaku's accusation, Yusuke felt a little ashamed. I have been focusing on training and the development of ninjutsu, and I really have no special contribution to the family.

But Yusuke had no intention of giving up on the family. After confirming his identity as a member of the Uchiha clan after time travel, Yusuke had already decided to save the family's tragic fate! It's just that the way he wants to use it is not political wrestling.

"Clan leader, I am also a member of the Uchiha clan, but judging from the situation, do you see the road ahead for the family?" Yusuke asked calmly.

After hearing Yusuke's words, Uchiha Fugaku slowly closed his eyes and sighed. Then he slowly opened his eyes again, looked at Yusuke with a sharp look and said: "Even if we can't see the road ahead, we, the Uchiha clan, must persevere to the end. The family cannot be destroyed in our hands! And those who have extraordinary talents You should take up this responsibility instead of giving up on the family!"

"I didn't give up on the family, I just gave up on saving the family through political means." In the conversation with Uchiha Fugaku, Yusuke began to mention his true thoughts for the first time.

Uchiha Fugaku frowned slightly and asked tentatively: "What do you mean?"

"In recent years, under the deliberate exclusion of various forces, the living space of our Uchiha clan in Konoha has become smaller and smaller. Although there is no way to save it, I ask myself that I don't have the wisdom in this regard." Facing Uchiha Fugaku's fierceness Yusuke looked at each other without fear.

"So I tried my best to improve my strength. If the family had a strong man like my ancestor Uchiha Madara, all those so-called exclusions and conspiracies would be nothing to mention, and all the problems that plague the family would be solved! "Yusuke no longer concealed it and spoke out about his pursuit of power, or ambition.

Uchiha Fugaku looked at Yusuke blankly, with an incredible meaning in his eyes. He had never thought that Yusuke had the idea of ​​becoming a strong man like Uchiha Madara.

You know, since the Sage of Six Paths, there are only two people who have truly reached this level - the first Hokage Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara.

"This is why I rarely attend family meetings. While you and other senior officials in the village are working hard to scheming, I have been practicing hard." Ignoring Uchiha Fugaku, whose eyes were slightly dull, Yusuke stated confidently. The reason for his absence from the clan meeting.

The living room was silent for a moment, no one spoke. Uchiha Fugaku was thinking about the possibility of Yusuke's idea, while Yusuke waited quietly.

For Yusuke, his goal will never change from beginning to end. He was absent from previous clan meetings, and he will still not be present at future clan meetings!

"Perhaps it takes someone with your caliber and ambition to reach the heights of our ancestor Uchiha Madara!" After a long time, Uchiha Fugaku sighed and continued to ask Yusuke: "So in your opinion, the family is now What should we do?”

Yusuke thought for a while and said: "If it were me, facing the pressing pressure of other forces, I might retreat in order to advance. Of course, the so-called 'retreat in order to advance' means that we must also be prepared to retreat to the end." . But I think it is a way for the family to put down its power and concentrate on improving the strength of the clan after going into seclusion. "

Uchiha Fugaku shook his head and said: "Why haven't I considered it this way? Unfortunately, most of the clan members will not agree."

Yusuke nodded and said no more. In fact, there was something he had hidden in his heart that he had not said out loud, that is, "If the patriarch's authority is sufficient, then he can make a decision with just one word." However, there is no need to state this impossible assumption.

"I will explain the following clan meetings, and you don't have to attend any more. But for some important meetings, I will personally notify you in advance. You must be present at these meetings!" Uchiha Fugaku looked at Yusuke and said. His eyes were burning and he could not refuse.

Yusuke nodded: "I understand, and I would like to thank the patriarch for your understanding." Having said this, Uchiha Fugaku had already made a lot of concessions to himself. It would be shameful if he continued to be ignorant.

After almost talking about family matters, Uchiha Fugaku's expression relaxed and he revealed another purpose of inviting Yusuke: "Actually, I invite you here today. I have one more thing I want to discuss with you."

"Please tell me." Yusuke said.

"What do you think of this kid Itachi?" Uchiha Fugaku gently patted Itachi's shoulder next to him and asked Yusuke.

Yusuke was slightly stunned, and he probably understood the reason why Uchiha Fugaku brought Itachi to talk to him today. Uchiha Fugaku most likely wanted to make Itachi his disciple.

Because apart from this reason, Yusuke really couldn't think of any other possibilities for Uchiha Fugaku to ask this question. You don't want to marry yourself, so you want to ask if Izumi and Itachi in your family are compatible?

"Itachi is six years old and is about to enter the ninja school. I have just started teaching him ninjutsu recently. Maybe you will think I am exaggerating, but as far as I can see, he has a talent that is not inferior to yours! I hope you can become him A teacher who will guide him in his future Ninjutsu practice." Uchiha Fugaku said seriously.

In fact, in his opinion, Itachi's talent is better than Yusuke's, but of course he still has to be a little more modest when saying it.

Itachi was very smart and he also guessed what his father was thinking. At this time, he also hoped to have a suitable teacher to guide him, so he looked at Yusuke expectantly.

Yusuke smiled, nodded and said: "I also see that Itachi has extraordinary talents, and I am very happy to be his teacher. But I didn't expect that I would accept two disciples on the same day. It's really... I kind of don’t know how to describe this feeling.”

Originally, Yusuke planned to come into contact with Itachi sooner or later. After all, Itachi was a key figure affecting the fate of the Uchiha clan. Unexpectedly, Uchiha Fugaku now directly approached him as Itachi's teacher, which was really the best thing.

Regarding the other disciple mentioned by Yusuke, Uchiha Fugaku did not ask any more questions, but ordered Itachi to formally perform the apprenticeship ceremony.

Itachi stood up from the futon, then knelt down on the floor next to him, and kowtowed respectfully to Yusuke: "Uchiha Itachi, please give me more guidance from the teacher in the future."

Yusuke helped Itachi up and officially accepted Itachi as his second disciple. Looking at Itachi who looked like a young shota, Yusuke couldn't help but think of his little sister Izumi.

"Izumi is going to ninja school soon, and if Kabuto and Itachi are included, why don't I just apply to lead a genin class?" Yusuke thought to himself.

At this time, Yusuke didn't know that his sister was Itachi's lover in "The True Story of Itachi". If he knew, Yusuke would definitely not arrange it like this. In Yusuke's opinion, a disciple like Itachi can no longer break up with him.

"Yusuke, is your Sharingan really not activated, or have you been hiding your strength?" Uchiha Fugaku asked after Itachi finished his apprenticeship.

"It's really not turned on. I also did a lot of research, and the investigation revealed that it requires strong mental stimulation to turn on the Sharingan, so I gave up." Yusuke said helplessly.

Uchiha Fugaku nodded and said: "Generally speaking, this is good, but the Sharingan relies on the Yin Shield, that is, mental power to activate it. Logically speaking, with your current attainment of mental power, even without external stimulation , it should be enough to open the Sharingan."

Uchiha Fugaku thought for a while, then suddenly looked at Yusuke with strange eyes and said: "Your father is not from the Uchiha clan. Is it because you have not inherited the blood line of the Uchiha clan?"

Hearing Uchiha Fugaku's words, Yusuke didn't seem very surprised: "To be honest, I doubt it now too."

Although the bloodline of the Uchiha clan is very powerful, even if a person from a foreign clan marries a member of the Uchiha clan, the offspring will generally inherit the blood lineage of the Uchiha clan.

Unless the opponent also has a strong blood inheritance limit, there will be a certain chance that the offspring will not inherit the Sharingan, but inherit other blood inheritance limits.

Of course, there is also a very small chance of inheriting two blood inheritance boundaries.

But Yusuke's father is just an ordinary person, and there is no reason to overwhelm the Uchiha clan in terms of blood, making Yusuke unable to inherit the Uchiha clan's blood inheritance limit.
