Konoha: The New Will of Fire

Itachi approached his father and asked him directly without any nonsense.

Hearing Itachi's question, Fugaku was shocked, his body stiffened, and he stopped throwing food in his hand.

"How does Itachi know this?"

Fugaku was shocked. This was his biggest secret. To have secret contact with Madara Uchiha was to risk the world's disapproval. Even he couldn't bear the consequences of such a thing being leaked.

Could it be that Uchiha Madara took the initiative to find Itachi?Sure, there may be no other answer other than this.

Damn Uchiha Madara, unable to get answers from him, went to find his son.

There was a turmoil in his heart, and his thoughts were changing rapidly, but Fugaku's face was calm and he continued to feed the colorful crucian carp in the pond.

"Who told you this?"

"Uchiha Madara", facing his father's inquiry, Itachi pressed forward step by step: "Father, you haven't told me yet whether you are secretly in contact with Uchiha Madara."

In fact, Itachi had already gotten the answer from Fugaku's reaction just now, but that was the answer he least wanted to see. Itachi wanted to hear it coming from his father's mouth.

Fugaku stopped throwing the bait, turned around and looked at Itachi, scolding: "Itachi, do you still have me as your father in your heart? What are you doubting?"

"Uchiha Madara did look for me, but looking for me means that I have done something sorry for Konoha... Uchiha Madara also looked for you, do I have to suspect that my son betrayed the village?"

Itachi was startled and was scolded by Fugaku. Itachi suddenly became more awake and felt that he was too abrupt.

Father's contact with Uchiha Madara does not mean that father will cooperate with Uchiha Madara. Just like him, he also came into contact with Uchiha Madara, but he did not choose to cooperate with Uchiha Madara.

Too many things happened this whole day. First, he killed his teammates with his own hands, and later learned that his father had been in contact with Uchiha Madara. Itachi's entire mind was in chaos, and he lost his previous calmness and rationality.

"I'm sorry, my father."

Itachi bowed his head and apologized.

When Fugaku saw this, his expression suddenly became much better: "I saw that you were not in a good state while eating dinner. Did something happen during this mission?"

"Something did happen, but it is confidential and cannot be leaked."

Itachi's words directly blocked Fugaku's next question in his mouth.

The atmosphere in the courtyard fell silent for a moment, Fugaku didn't know what to ask, and Itachi didn't speak.

After a moment of silence, Fugaku broke the silence: "Since it is a matter of confidentiality, there is no need to say it. However, Itachi, I hope that no matter what happens, you can get through it with a strong will."

"After all, the future belongs to you young people. The future of Uchiha depends on you. If you can also awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan, we Uchiha may be able to produce a Hokage."

Itachi paused and asked tentatively: "Father, do you want to be Hokage?"

Of course Fugaku wanted to be the Hokage, but he also knew that it would be impossible for him to become the Hokage with the Fifth Hokage around.

Fugaku shook his head and sighed: "As long as I am in front of him, anyone will become dim and dull. It is impossible for me to become Hokage, but you still have hope. My biggest wish is that Uchiha can produce a Hokage."

If it were originally, Fugaku just had this idea and would not say it out loud, but it is different now. Uchiha has reached the peak of both power and reputation.

Just as Fugaku was imagining, Itachi suddenly said.

"Father, I have also awakened those eyes."

"Those eyes? What eyes..." Fugaku asked subconsciously. As he asked, Fugaku suddenly noticed something was wrong, his expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Itachi. Unable to conceal his excitement, he confirmed: "You are really awake. Got it? Mangekyou Sharingan..."

"Ok!"

Itachi nodded, and when he raised his head again, his pupils changed, and in the blood-red eyes, the three-edged shuriken pattern was clearly visible.

"Ha ha ha ha…"

After reacting, Fugaku laughed excitedly, and the hearty laughter echoed throughout the courtyard. Sasuke, who was doing homework in the room, heard that his father was so happy, and curiously came to the window and looked down through the window.

I saw my father laughing in the courtyard, and Onii-chan was standing in front of my father.

Sasuke murmured in his heart: "I have never seen my father so happy. What did Onii-chan do?"

Fugaku stopped laughing, but the smile on his face couldn't stop. He couldn't help but praise: "My son is indeed a genius. He has awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan. He is no worse than Shisui."

Itachi has shown great talent since he was very young. He learned the Go Fireball Jutsu at just one glance and learned the Shadow Clone Jutsu at the age of six.

But Uchiha does not lack geniuses. There have been many geniuses in Uchiha history, but there are very few people who can awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan.

Because what really matters in awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan is not talent, but opportunities and opportunities, but some people with low talent can awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Therefore, even though Itachi showed extremely high talent, Fugaku was not sure whether Itachi could awaken.

But now Itachi suddenly awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan. The excitement and excitement in Fugaku's heart could not be described in words.

At the same time, a seed called 'ambition' quickly took root and sprouted in Fugaku's heart.

Including Shisui and Itachi, as well as him, Uchiha Itachi's three pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan, plus Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Asuka outside, there are five pairs of kaleidoscopes in total. The position of the Hokage seems to be close in front of him. Maybe it's really possible, if you take one more step forward, you can become Hokage.

The Uchiha would become the most prominent family in the ninja world.

Itachi looked at his excited father, and he felt very disappointed. His father was only excited for him to awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan, and didn't care at all what he went through to awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan.

If his father hadn't awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, Itachi wouldn't have thought this way, but his father had clearly awakened the Mangekyō and experienced the same pain as him.

Itachi began to wonder, was it really a good decision to confess to awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan?

Fugaku was so excited that he didn't notice the change in Itachi's eyes. At this moment, he was dreaming about Uchiha's bright future.

The future history of Uchiha will remember that he Fugaku, the patriarch of Uchiha, led Uchiha to an unprecedented peak.

Fugaku, who had finished his excitement, looked at his outstanding son in front of him, and suddenly thought of Sasuke in his mind, and sighed: "It would be great if Sasuke could be as good as you. In the subject assessment, he even tied with the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki. So far, He hasn't even awakened the Sharingan, he is much worse than you."

Fugaku didn't know that his words were heard by Sasuke who was lying on the window and eavesdropping.

Sasuke stood there blankly, his father's disappointment was like an invisible steel knife that penetrated deeply into Sasuke's heart and pierced Sasuke's glass heart.

The words kept echoing in my mind, "He is too far behind... too far behind... too far behind..."

Sasuke leaned his back against the wall, his body slipping weakly, holding his knees with his hands and burying his head between his knees.

The black clouds floating in the sky blocked the bright moon, and a ray of darkness fell on Sasuke's feet, swallowing Sasuke bit by bit.

Not sure how much time had passed, Sasuke raised his head, revealing a pair of blood-red eyes.
