The first four generations of Naruto

"Lord Shirano Hokage came to visit today, which is really disappointing..."

Uchiha Fugaku looked a little embarrassed, because when Itachi ran in to tell him the news, he had a surprised look on his face, but his first reaction was that his eldest son, when did he make such a joke?

Just when he was about to scold Itachi, Namikaze Minato walked in, following him.

He only felt that his facial expression when he saw the Fourth Hokage suddenly appeared in front of him was probably a little out of control, because in the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of his wife Mikoto pouting and snickering...

"Chief Fugaku, my sudden visit to Uchiha was actually an abrupt move on my part." Namikaze Minato tried his best to appear as humble and gentle as the original Minato, and then continued: "It happened suddenly, but it was actually something very important. , I would like to discuss this with you, who is now the leader of the Uchiha clan."

Uchiha Fugaku's heart skipped a beat. This was the first time that Konoha's Hokage took the initiative to talk to Uchiha alone. Although he was a little more expecting in his heart, there was nothing unusual on his face. He just picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

However, before he could swallow the tea in his mouth, Namikaze Minato's next words made him almost spit out the tea in his mouth again...

The Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato asked straight to the point: "Chief Fugaku should know that the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan has the power to control the Nine-Tails, right?"

"...manipulating the Kyuubi?"

Uchiha Fugaku's expression suddenly changed slightly. He didn't know for a moment what the Fourth Hokage in front of him had suddenly mentioned about this matter, so he asked tentatively: "Why did the Hokage suddenly ask about this matter?"

"The former Uchiha ancestor, the first generation patriarch during the founding of Konoha, Uchiha Madara is rumored to indeed have this ability..."

After all, many people knew about this matter, so there was no point in Uchiha Fugaku pretending not to know, so he spoke calmly.

After Minato Namikaze heard this, he continued to ask: "So, do the current Uchiha clan have this ability?"

After Minato finished speaking, he looked at Uchiha Fugaku's face.

Sure enough, although Uchiha Fugaku had concealed it well enough, the flash of panic in his eyes did not escape Minato Namikaze's keen insight.

"Haha, Yondaime-sama, the reason why our ancestor Uchiha Madara can control the Nine-Tails is because he has the Mangekyo Sharingan that evolved from the Sharingan. He is able to do this kind of thing."

"The ordinary Sharingan can't do it..." Uchiha Fugaku explained with a dry smile.

I thought that the Fourth Hokage came to Uchiha specifically to change the special structure of the Guard, or to learn about the recent work of the Guard.

But at this time, Namikaze Minato suddenly mentioned the Kyuubi, and he realized that the village was still deeply afraid of their clan's Sharingan.

"So that's the case, then I can speak frankly." Namikaze Minato's expression became solemn, and then he asked directly: "In the near future, the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki may be at risk of being unable to suppress the tailed beast in his body. , so now there is an urgent need for other means to control the Nine-Tails. I want to know, does the Uchiha clan today have the Mangekyō Sharingan?"

Yes or no.

This question is obviously a test.

Namikaze Minato has read the original work and is well aware that Uchiha Fugaku activated the Mangekyō Sharingan during the Third Ninja War.

At this time, he asked directly, whether it was intentional or unintentional, it was a test for Uchiha Fugaku, the current clan leader.

If the answer is yes, it means that in his heart, he intends to get in touch with the core secrets of the village, and wants to take the opportunity to let Uchiha have the right to speak and change Uchiha's situation.Even so, his move will inevitably lead to suspicion of ambition.

But if the answer is no, then it can be proved that Uchiha Fugaku probably has no ambition.All his actions are only for the sake of the family.

This small answer actually affects Namikaze Minato's attitude towards him in the future.

After repeated flashes of struggle and hesitation, he finally gritted his teeth and denied it.

"Sorry, Hokage-sama, the Uchiha clan has never had the Mangekyo Sharingan since the ancestor Uchiha Madara..." Uchiha Fugaku said with deep regret.

For the sake of the Uchiha clan, he must not reveal that he possesses the Mangekyo Sharingan.

Uchiha Fugaku was thinking silently in his heart. The Uchiha clan was feared because of the power of their eyes. The current situation of the Uchiha clan was not good. If the Mangekyou incident was exposed again, then the Uchiha who were originally feared would never be able to be harmed again. Trust, having a say in Konoha has become out of reach.

"It's such a pity."

Namikaze Minato pretended to sigh, then frowned, thinking: "It seems that we need to find another way..."

When Uchiha Fugaku saw Namikaze Minato sighing, he hesitated again. He remembered that when the new Hokage, who was born as a commoner, visited various families with the Third Hokage for the first time after taking office, he was clearly interested in Uchiha and the security team. The contribution of the village is affirmed in words.

Maybe, the new Hokage really intends to show favor to Uchiha, and maybe he wants to change the relationship between senior officials and Uchiha. If this is really the case, wouldn't he have missed the opportunity for his family to rise in Konoha?

"Lord Hokage, Kushina is also a close friend of mine. I would like to ask, is there something wrong with the Kyuubi's seal?"

At this time, Uchiha Mikoto, who was standing by her side, clearly understood her husband Uchiha Fugaku's inner thoughts. In order to save the situation, she deliberately interrupted and asked.

"It concerns the village's important balancing weapon Kyuubi, and Kushina's matter involves confidentiality. I can't tell you clearly for the time being." Namikaze Minato responded with a hint of regret: "But currently, there are indeed concerns in this regard."

"So, we need to start looking for solutions in advance..."

As he spoke, Namikaze Minato showed a look of helplessness again. While he was speaking, he also secretly paid attention to the expressions of Michifugaku and his wife.

Sure enough, his sincere words later made Uchiha Fugaku seem to be shaken in his heart.

Maybe he has begun to regret now that he has finished his words and denied that Uchiha does not have the Mangekyō Sharingan, right?

At this moment, Uchiha Mikoto spoke again: "Fourth generation, please rest assured that if the village needs the help of the Uchiha clan, our clan will definitely contribute our strength without hesitation..."

By this time, it was impossible for Uchiha Fugaku not to hear Mikoto's intentions. Seeing his wife's determined look, he suddenly came to his senses and said the same: "That's right, Hokage-sama."

"If necessary, please feel free to order the Uchiha clan. Our clan will do our best for the sake of the village..."

While the two of them were talking, they even bowed to Minato.

Namikaze Minato's eyes lit up, and he thought that it was indeed not in vain, this was what he had been waiting for.

Then he said no more, and handed over one of his Flying Thunder God Kunai under the surprised gazes of the two people...
