Konoha's Residual Fire Sword

Chapter 8 Talking to the Patriarch

Hearing Uchiha Fugaku mentioning the difficulty of the family's recent situation, Yusuke nodded and said: "Yes, I know all of these."

"Danzo has always been at odds with our Uchiha clan. In previous internal disputes, the elders were more inclined to Danzo's side. And the three generations of adults seem to want our Uchiha clan and Danzo to check and balance each other." Uchiha Fuyue sighed.

"Since I became the patriarch, I have been careful to maintain the relationship between all parties. However, my ability is really limited. I have exhausted my mind, but I still haven't been able to win the right to speak for the family. On the contrary, the conflict between the family and the village has become more and more serious. more."

Itachi raised his head and looked worriedly at his father beside him. These fathers had never told him, and this was the first time he heard about the family.

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

Seeing that Uchiha Fugaku actually said these things that could not be mentioned outside at all in front of his own face, Yusuke knew that Uchiha Fugaku had indeed been overwhelmed by family problems.

Until this point, the head of the dignified clan would not confide these thoughts in front of a junior like him.

As if feeling the worry of his son beside him, Uchiha Fugaku touched Itachi's head beside him with a smile on his face, signaling him not to think too much.Then he said to Yusuke: "There are not many ninjas in the family who can stand on their own, and among these people, I have not seen a single person who can become the real pillar of the family. Until I heard about your outstanding performance in the third battle, at that time I am very happy and have been following you."

Speaking of this, Fugaku Uchiha's face became serious, and he looked directly into Yusuke's eyes: "But from your performance, I haven't seen the sense of family honor that a Uchiha tribe should have! You can tell me that the family is Is the real position in your heart? Yusuke Uchiha!"

Uchiha Fugaku's tone was extremely serious, especially when Yusuke's name was said at the end, the tone was aggravated.

Facing Uchiha Fugaku's questioning, Yusuke felt somewhat ashamed.I have been focusing on training and the development of ninjutsu, and I really haven't made any special contributions to the family.

But Yusuke has no intention of giving up the family. Ever since he confirmed his identity as a member of the Uchiha clan after crossing, Yusuke has decided to save the family's tragic fate!It's just that the way he wants to use is not just political wrestling.

"Master patriarch, I am also a member of the Uchiha clan, but judging from the situation, have you seen the way ahead for the family?" Yusuke asked calmly.

Hearing Yusuke's words, Uchiha Fugaku slowly closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.Then he slowly opened his eyes again, looked at Yusuke sharply and said: "Even if we can't see the way ahead, our Uchiha clan must persevere to the end, the family cannot be destroyed by our hands! You should take up this responsibility instead of giving up the family!"

"I didn't give up on the family, I just gave up trying to save 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?"

"Over the years, under the deliberate exclusion of various forces, the living space of our Uchiha clan in Konoha has become smaller and smaller. Although it is not impossible to save it, I ask myself that I don't have the resourcefulness in this regard." Facing Uchiha Fugaku fiercely Yusuke looked at each other without fear.

"So I tried my best to improve my strength. If the family has a strong man like the ancestor Uchiha Madara, those so-called exclusions and conspiracy are all worthless, and all the problems that plague the family will be solved! "Yusuke no longer concealed it, and revealed his pursuit of power, or ambition.

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

You know, since the Sage of the Six Paths, there are only two strong people who have really reached this level-the first generation of Naruto Senjujuma and Uchiha Madara.

"That's why I seldom participate in family meetings. I have been practicing hard while you and other high-level officials in the village are struggling." 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, and Yusuke was waiting quietly.

For Yusuke, his goal will not change from the beginning to the end. He was absent from the previous clan meetings, and he will still not be present in the future clan meetings!

"Perhaps you have to have such stamina and ambition to reach the height of your ancestor Uchiha Madara!" After a long time, Uchiha Fugaku sighed, and continued to ask Yusuke: "In your opinion, what is the status of the family now?" What should I do?"

Yusuke thought for a while and said, "If it were me, facing the pressure of other forces, I might retreat. Of course, the so-called 'advance through retreat' must be prepared to retreat to the end. But I think it is a way for the family to let go of the power in their hands and concentrate on improving the strength of the clan after returning to seclusion."

Uchiha Fugaku shook his head and said: "Why haven't I thought about it this way, but unfortunately most of the tribe would not agree."

Yusuke nodded and said nothing more.In fact, there is still a sentence hidden in his heart that he did not say, that is, "If the authority of the patriarch is sufficient, then the decision can be made with one word."However, there is no need to speak out about this impossible assumption.

"For the future clan meetings, I will explain to you that you don't have to attend any more. But for some important meetings, I will personally notify you in advance, and 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: "Understood, and thank the patriarch for his understanding." Having reached this point, Uchiha Fugaku has already made a big concession to himself.

The conversation about the family is almost done, Uchiha Fugaku's expression relaxed, and he revealed another purpose for 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 Itachi kid?" Uchiha Fugaku patted Itachi's shoulder beside him and asked Yusuke.

Yusuke was taken aback for a moment, and probably understood why Uchiha Fugaku brought Itachi to talk to him today.Uchiha Fugaku probably wanted to arrange Itachi to be his disciple.

Because apart from this reason, Yusuke really couldn't think of any other possibility for Uchiha Fugaku to ask this question.It's not that he wants to get married with himself, and ask if his family's Quanmei and Itachi are suitable?

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

In fact, in his opinion, Itachi's talent is even better than Yusuke's, so of course he has to be a little more modest when speaking.

Itachi is very clever, 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 with anticipation.

Yusuke smiled, nodded and said: "I also see that Itachi has extraordinary talents, and I'm very happy to be his teacher. But I didn't expect that I accepted two disciples on the same day. Kind of makes me not know how to describe the feeling."

Yusuke originally planned to contact Itachi sooner or later. After all, Itachi is a key figure who affects the fate of the Uchiha clan.I didn't expect that Uchiha Fugaku would directly find himself as Itachi's teacher, which is really great.

Regarding the other disciple mentioned by Yusuke, Uchiha Fugaku didn't ask much, but ordered Itachi to formally perform the ceremony of apprenticeship.

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

Yusuke helped Itachi up, and formally accepted Itachi as his second disciple.Looking at Itachi who looks like Xiaozheng, Yusuke couldn't help but think of his little sister Izumi.

"Izumi is going to the ninja school soon, and if you add Dou and Itachi, why don't I just apply to take a ninja class?" Yusuke thought to himself.

At this time, Yusuke still doesn't know that his younger sister is Itachi's lover in "The True Story of Itachi". If he knew, Yusuke would definitely not arrange this way.In Yusuke's cognition, it is already impossible to break a younger brother like Itachi.

"Yusuke, is it true that your Sharingan has not been opened, or have you been hiding your strength?" Uchiha Fugaku asked after Itachi finished his apprenticeship.

"It's true that it hasn't been opened. I have also done a lot of research, and after investigation, I found that strong mental stimulation is needed to open Sharingan, so I gave up." Yusuke said helplessly.

Uchiha Fugaku nodded and said: "Generally speaking, this is not bad, but Sharingan is stimulated by Yinshield, that is, mental power. According to reason, with your current attainment of mental power, even if you are not stimulated by external , should be enough to open Sharingan."

Uchiha Fugaku thought for a while, then suddenly looked at Yusuke with strange eyes and said, "Your father is not a member of the Uchiha clan. Could it be that you have not inherited the Uchiha clan's blood successor boundary?"

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

Although the blood of the Uchiha clan is very strong, even if a foreigner intermarries with a member of the Uchiha clan, the offspring will generally inherit the bloodline of the Uchiha clan.

Unless the opponent also has a powerful blood successor limit, there will be a certain chance that the offspring will not inherit Sharingan, but will inherit other blood successor boundaries.

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

But Yusuke's father is just an ordinary person, there is no reason to overwhelm the Uchiha clan in terms of blood, so that Yusuke can't inherit the blood successor limit of the Uchiha clan.
