Naruto: If I ask you to be Naruto, you will become a yellow-haired person?

The sound of a door closing came from Sasuke's room.

At this moment, Mikoto Uchiha's full, rosy lips clearly drooped.

Her delicate feet, encased in pristine white socks, shifted slightly, stepping on the high-quality mahogany floor, and she knelt expressionlessly beside Fugaku Uchiha.

Her melodious voice, like that of a warbling oriole, carried obvious dissatisfaction and annoyance.

"Why do you always take out your frustrations from the clan on the family?"

"Sasuke clearly needs attention. What if he encounters setbacks at school? Sasuke is already a bit shy…"

Fugaku Uchiha's face remained gloomy, and he waved his large hand impatiently, saying,

"Mikoto, you're being utterly shortsighted!"

"Uchiha Izumi was captured by Danzo's mad dog and her fate is unknown. The clan is facing the imminent threat of Danzo's lackeys from Root. We don't have time to worry about Sasuke and the others' games at the ninja academy!"

Hearing this, Mikoto Uchiha furrowed her beautiful brows, her lovely eyes filled with worry, and she lowered her gaze.

Staring at the thin layer of socks wrapped around her fair ankles, she was lost in thought.

She knew that Fugaku Uchiha was right to prioritize the clan's interests.

But in her heart, her two sons always weighed more heavily than the clan. The clan was secondary.

She couldn't help but sigh softly in her heart.

At this moment, two young men in Anbu uniforms with cold expressions hurried in.

Seeing them, Fugaku Uchiha quickly said,

"Itachi! What did the Third Hokage say? Was Danzo's capture of Izumi his own unauthorized action?!"

This was Fugaku Uchiha's biggest worry.

If Root's capture of Uchiha Izumi was authorized by the village's higher-ups,

wouldn't the suppression against the Uchiha clan increase instead of decrease, and this time it would be out in the open?!

In the past, most of those who mysteriously disappeared from the clan were ordinary genin and chunin,

but Uchiha Izumi was a clan genius second only to Itachi and Shisui in the younger generation, and she had awakened the Three-Tomoe Sharingan!

It was not impossible for her to go further in the future, like himself, and awaken the clan's supreme Mangekyo Sharingan!

Wasn't the Leaf Village's higher-ups being too unreasonable this time?!

Did they really think of him, Fugaku Uchiha, as a pushover to be manipulated and humiliated at will?! His Sharingan was not to be trifled with either!

Fugaku Uchiha's right hand, holding the teacup, involuntarily tightened, producing a cracking sound as the porcelain began to shatter.

Itachi Uchiha, with tear streaks on his face, shook his head anxiously.

"The Hokage said that he was completely unaware of this matter. He said that he would immediately summon the other Hokage advisors to hold a secret high-level meeting."

"Within three days, he will definitely give our Uchiha clan an explanation…"

Izumi had been close to him since childhood, and she was the person he cared about most in the clan besides Shisui and his parents and brother.

And Izumi's capture by Root, which had always been cruel and devoid of the Will of Fire,

meant that her chances were slim, and Itachi Uchiha couldn't help but feel a surge of unease in his heart.

Hearing that it was not the Third Hokage's instruction, Fugaku Uchiha secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It was good that Sarutobi Hiruzen had not joined forces with Shimura Danzo to harm their Uchiha clan!

"Since the Third Hokage said he would give the Uchiha clan an explanation, then I will go stabilize those hawks in the clan and wait for the Third Hokage to give us an explanation!"

Hearing this, Itachi Uchiha hurriedly stepped forward.

"Father! That's Root! It's not that I don't trust the Hokage, but if we can't rescue Izumi today, if we wait a few more days, Izumi will probably be in mortal danger!"

Shisui Uchiha and Mikoto Uchiha also nodded repeatedly, their faces filled with anxiety and worry, obviously agreeing with Itachi Uchiha's opinion.

Fugaku Uchiha's brow furrowed, his solemn expression changing, and after a long time, he seemed to have made up his mind, gritting his teeth and saying,

"I know you have some affection for Izumi, and every drop of blood in the clan is extremely precious!"

"But she has been taken away by Root for so long. With Danzo and those Root people's ruthless methods, I'm afraid she has already met with misfortune!"

"Moreover, the Third Hokage has already spoken. How are we going to save Izumi? Are we going to lead the clan's police force to surround the Root base? Force Shimura Danzo to hand over Uchiha Izumi?!"

"Wouldn't that be directly falling into Danzo's conspiracy again!"

"Instead, it would make the clan's current situation even worse. It would be better to completely obey Sarutobi Hiruzen's instructions, even if… Izumi meets with misfortune…"

"The Third Hokage, seeing that our Uchiha clan is honest and obedient this time, the village's higher-ups will more or less give us some compensation and trust in other areas of power!"

Itachi Uchiha was even more thunderstruck, his face instantly turning pale, frozen in place,

What struck him heavily was not only the thought of Uchiha Izumi's imminent predicament, but also that he had clearly understood his father's attitude towards this matter.

That was to abandon Uchiha Izumi in order to appease the village's higher-ups and seize more benefits.

Shisui Uchiha's young face lost its usual brightness, his eyes lowered, and he shook his head with some disappointment.

"Clan leader, the clan can't just give up on Izumi like this…"

Fugaku Uchiha looked at Shisui Uchiha, his tone somewhat sad and heavy, and sighed,

"Ah, Shisui, you must also understand that this is the limitation of the clan's difficult situation in the village today, it is a helpless choice for me as the clan leader! It is also a necessary sacrifice!"

Itachi Uchiha regained some spirit, tugged at Shisui Uchiha, and persuaded him with a bitter tone.

"Brother Shisui, Father is right. Izumi is also sacrificing for the clan and the village this time! I think she would be pleased to accept it if she knew!"

Hearing this, Mikoto Uchiha, whose moist, beautiful eyes contained a trace of helplessness and sadness,

suddenly widened her eyes in astonishment, staring blankly at Itachi Uchiha, her full, red lips trembling slightly.

How could Itachi say such a thing, when she had watched Izumi and him grow up since they were young…!

Then, a thought suddenly flashed through Mikoto Uchiha's mind, and she said:

"Should I go ask Tsunade for help?! If Tsunade is willing to step in in time, perhaps she can save Izumi from Danzo's hands!"

Hearing this, Shisui Uchiha's eyes also lit up.

Fugaku Uchiha's face froze for a moment, and he frowned and hesitated, saying,

"Tsunade? Although Tsunade can't stand Root, she has always been reluctant to get involved in the village's muddy waters. How could she extend a helping hand to our Uchiha?!"

Mikoto Uchiha's originally dim and worried beautiful eyes flashed with a clever light, and she hurriedly got up from her kneeling position, preparing to go out.

Her slender, soft hand pressed against the kimono that hugged the exaggerated, graceful curves of the beautiful woman's waist and hips.

Although the dignified and conservative kimono tightly stretched the two full, rounded buttocks, it could not hide the plump, luscious flesh within.

"Sasuke has a good relationship with Tsunade's disciple Naruto. I'll try to ask little Naruto for help…"
