Konoha: Change from Uchiha

As a father, Fugaku was worried about Itachi's safety after he joined the ANBU. After all, there were not a few geniuses who died young.

Although Itachi obtained No. 1 in the Joint Chunin Examination, his strength was at most that of an ordinary Jonin, and it was difficult to withstand betrayal and assassination during missions.

But he obviously misunderstood what Sasuke meant. Sasuke was worried that Itachi himself was willing to act as a double agent and cause harm to the clan.

This is also true. The Uchiha clan did not die out during the Warring States Period and the Great Ninja War. Instead, they were exterminated in the hands of their own people. The executioner was Uchiha Itachi after joining ANBU.

If he were a few months ago, he would probably try his best to prevent Itachi from joining ANBU and avoid that tragic fate.

But now he decided to let nature take its course. He had the idea of ​​joining the ANBU. No matter how hard he tried to stop Itachi, it would only delay the time of joining the ANBU. However, Danzo, who was very interested in Itachi among the top brass in Konoha, would definitely find ways to let him. Itachi joined in.

Without the bridge of communication between the clan and the village like Itachi, it would be too difficult to detect the actions and thoughts of the higher-ups.

After pondering for a moment, Sasuke looked at Fugaku and said, "Since Itachi wants to join the ANBU, why don't father let nature take its course? We also need Itachi's channel to know the thoughts of the higher-ups."

After a pause, Sasuke continued: "After joining ANBU, Itachi will probably go out on missions. My father will also hold a clan meeting to rectify and reform the clan. My father should also realize the power of the curse seal."

"Didn't you say that the curse seal technology is not perfect yet?"

Fugaku's eyes lit up, and then he frowned.

Fugaku did not trust Sasuke so much from the beginning. The Kumogakure mission incident made him treat Sasuke as a ninja. But what really made Fugaku value Sasuke was that he undoubtedly encountered the scene where Sasuke was experimenting with curse seal technology.

Although the power was very weak, he could still detect that it was natural energy, an area that Uchiha had never touched.

In the eyes of the world, the first Hokage relied on wood escape to conquer the world, but there are records in Uchiha that what truly made the first generation invincible was the power of Senjutsu, which allowed him to possess a huge chakra that surpassed the tailed beasts.

If Uchiha mastered this power...

Whenever he thought of this, Fugaku's breathing became slightly faster.

Since then, Fugaku has regarded Sasuke as the hope for the rise of the clan, and his expectations for the latter have even exceeded Itachi.

But unfortunately, Sasuke said that the curse seal technology will take at least several years to be perfected, and the current improvement in power is not great. He also proposed a prerequisite for sharing this technology, which is to carry out reforms within the clan.

It was not that Fugaku had never thought of using his father's authority, but Sasuke's research on natural energy was unique.

Just like the first Hokage suddenly mastered senjutsu, Sasuke also has a unique talent in this area, and the clan also needs to be integrated. The current clan leader position no longer has the absolute right to speak.

"It is indeed not perfect yet, but it can utilize natural energy in a short period of time. It can be regarded as a one-time curse seal."

Sasuke also thought about perfecting the curse seal before taking it out for the clan to use, but there was not much time left, so he took the initiative to be discovered by Fugaku.

Rather than improving the curse seal technology alone, it is better to let the clan's jounin study it together. Anyway, he is the only one who masters the technology of creating curse seals. A one-time curse seal can also prevent the leakage of this technology, and even leave it for future generations. Control it with your hands.

After gaining the memory of his genocide, his psychological barrier to using these methods became much smaller. No matter how bad it was, it was better than having his entire genocide wiped out.

Only the Uchiha with a unified voice internally can make the senior officials of the three generations and one family scruple and find no way to break through from the inside, thus avoiding the death of the people and the annihilation of the clan.

"One-time is enough..." Fugaku nodded, and then said: "Are you going to show up at the clan meeting when you take out the curse seal?"

Sasuke shook his head slightly: "This time, my father still came forward. I am still just a student of the Ninja School, and I am not suitable for contact with the 'big things' of the clan association."

Fugaku also felt deeply troubled by the trivial matters at the clan meeting, but he would not ridicule them mercilessly like Sasuke.

……

the next day.

Fugaku submitted an application as a guard captain, and the application soon appeared in the Hokage Building.

After Sarutobi Hiruzen carefully read the application, he looked at the two consultants beside him with a solemn expression, and said, "What do you think about Captain Fugaku wanting Chunin Uchiha Itachi to join ANBU?"

As Hokage, he was not opposed to absorbing new blood like Itachi Uchiha, especially after Itachi became No. 1 in the Joint Chunin Examination.

But this goes against the tradition of ANBU. ANBU is a department that does not allow Uchiha members to join and belongs exclusively to the Hokage family.

Moreover, the struggle between Uchiha and the village has almost reached a point that cannot be ignored. Even if he wants to pass, I am afraid that he will be opposed by several of his friends.

After all, no one knew what Uchiha's purpose was in joining ANBU.

Although Itachi is an excellent child, he will inevitably be exploited by some radical Uchiha.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had even thought of their reasons to refute him.

Koharu and Mito Kaden went to bed and read the application form, looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen's complicated eyes, and gave their suggestions.

"As long as Danzo doesn't object, we don't have any objections."

"..." Sarutobi Hiruzen fell silent, allowing Danzo, who hated Uchiha the most, to agree to Uchiha joining the ANBU. Is this another way of rejecting the application?

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't even think of asking Danzo for his opinion, thinking about how to appease Fugaku when he rejected him.

At this moment, Danzo suddenly appeared in the office with a cane. After scanning around, his eyes fell on the application form that Sarutobi Hiruzen was about to write down and he narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Danzo, do you have any comments about this application?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked casually.

"I agree." Danzo replied.

"As expected, are you still against it..."

Sarutobi was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Danzo. The two consultants also showed incredulous expressions and asked in confusion: "Danzo, are you really planning to let Uchiha join ANBU? Is that what you think is evil? The Uchiha of the clan."

"Most Uchiha are evil, but there are also talented people like Itachi who can be used by the village."

"Yicai?" The advisory duo murmured to themselves. Danzo's sudden agreement made them speechless who originally had objections. At the same time, they also secretly thought whether this was a signal for Danzo and Sarutobi to unite. .

After the advisory duo left, Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and looked at Danzo and asked: "Danzo, how long have you been eyeing Itachi? You had previously recommended Itachi to take the Chunin Exam, and now you have agreed to let Itachi join the ANBU. .”

"About six years ago, when he first entered school..."

Danzo seemed lost in thought and answered after a while.

"Six years ago, when Minato was still alive, you set your sights on Uchiha Itachi. Your ambition must not have diminished." After calculating the time, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression changed slightly.

"Although Minato and you are both confident of solving the Uchiha problem, Minato died unexpectedly, and you were hesitant. I can only select outstanding children from the Uchiha to train and solve the Uchiha problem once and for all. The problem."

After a pause, Danzo continued: "However, it was I who agreed to join the ANBU. It is best to leave the task of joining the ANBU to me. It can be used to test whether he has the consciousness to join the darkness."

"Yes, but in exchange, you are not allowed to attack other Uchihas."

Sarutobi Hiruzen warned.

"Don't worry, Uchiha Itachi only needs one."

There was confidence in Danzo's words.
