Fugaku let out a heavy sigh. He had suspected long ago that today's conversation might not go smoothly.
But he had never expected to receive quite so much information.
Would his eldest son, his greatest pride, really do something like that in the future?
To protect Konoha, to uphold his convictions.
Would he truly have the resolve to slaughter the entire Uchiha Clan?
Fugaku felt lost.
As the head of the Uchiha Clan, once he learned that Uchiha Itachi was destined to commit such an act, he should have put duty above family and killed Uchiha Itachi immediately!
"But..."
Fugaku murmured, "What would be the point? Perhaps the future Chisen saw is simply the Uchiha Clan's fate. And fate cannot be broken."
Even after returning home with his head lowered, silent the entire way, Fugaku still had not recovered from the shock.
"Fugaku, didn't Itachi come back with you? You two didn't get into a fight with Chisen, did you?"
Uchiha Mikoto came forward and asked with concern.
Coming to his senses, Fugaku shook his head and answered, "Itachi probably went to report to the Anbu. It was dawn, after all. If I'd fought Chisen, you might be looking at an injured husband right now."
Uchiha Mikoto immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
She knew that her son and husband had gone to see Uchiha Chisen.
For that brief stretch of less than an hour, Mikoto had been on tenterhooks.
She had been terrified that something might go wrong.
"Did something happen?" Uchiha Mikoto keenly noticed that something was wrong with her husband's expression and mood.
"...No."
Fugaku chose to keep it from her.
After all, telling a mother that her eldest son would very likely kill her with his own hands a year from now...
Would be far too
