The Third Shinobi World War ended, Obito Uchiha, and it seemed that everything was coming to an end.
But in reality, no. The Sharingan that Kakashi inherited will always be a source of deep regret for the Uchiha clan.
Therefore, they even dared to openly reveal the Uchiha Clan's ambitions during the memorial service.
"Although the war is over, too many people have sacrificed their lives. I heard that the third generation is going to resign to take responsibility."
"Some have also suggested that Captain-sama should be promoted to the Fourth Hokage. We would appreciate it if you..." The radicals of the Uchiha Clan made no attempt to hide their thoughts.
[Sarada: What does this mean? Does Grandpa mean...?]
[Kaminarimon Denki: No way, Sarada's grandfather is actually qualified to be the Fourth Hokage!]
Everyone was shocked by what the Uchiha Clan had said.
They never imagined the Uchiha Clan was so powerful, even capable of influencing the Hokage election.
Sasuke gazed at the scene before him, wondering what his father had truly been thinking back then.
Was it that the clansmen wanted a coup, or did his father want to become the Hokage?
Sasuke has never quite believed that his father would choose to stage a coup, considering the presence of his mother, brother, himself, and the ordinary members of the Uchiha Clan.
As expected, Uchiha Fugaku resolutely refused after hearing his subordinate's suggestion.
"Don't bring this up again."
The subordinate immediately stopped talking, but no one knew what he was really thinking.
After a moment of silence, one of Uchiha Fugaku's men spoke again.
What should be done about Kakashi Hatake Sharingan?
"He's not a member of the Uchiha Clan, yet he possesses the Sharingan."
I heard that Fugaku also glanced in Kakashi Hatake.
"I've heard that Obito Uchiha bravely in the war; let's respect his will."
"It would be better to Sharingan," the subordinate said discontentedly.
It's important to know that the Sharingan is a very important Kekkei Genkai for the Uchiha Clan, although the Uchiha Clan isn't as strict about it as the Hyuga Clan.
But ultimately, it belongs to the Uchiha Clan; if it falls into the wrong hands...
[Boruto: This is outrageous! Kakashi has Sharingan too! This is just too much...]
Sarada felt even more inferior; even Kakashi, who wasn't from the Uchiha Clan, possessed the Sharingan, while she didn't.
I'm so heartbroken.
[Kakashi Hatake: I never expected that Chief Fugaku would speak up for me back then...]
When I first obtained the Sharingan, the Uchiha Clan's attitude towards me was far from kind.
If I can't protect Obito's eyes, I won't be able to face Obito even after I die.
Obito: Don't worry, if the Sharingan is taken back by the Uchiha Clan, guess where it will end up?
Faced with the discontented clansmen, Fugaku could only do his best to appease their resentment.
"The peace we've finally achieved, though brief, must be maintained with all our might; it is the responsibility of our Uchiha Clan." Uchiha Fugaku's words were deeply moving.
At the very least, Uchiha Fugaku and Hyuga Hiashi were not the same kind of people.
[Boruto: This is outrageous! Sarada's grandfather doesn't seem like the type to stage a coup.]
[Shikadai: Boruto, you can't judge a person solely by their appearance.]
Shikadai told Boruto that coups are not something only bad people can do.
But Shikadai dared not say it aloud.
Just then, a small figure appeared near the Memorial Stone in Konoha.
But unlike the others, this boy didn't show much sadness; he only looked puzzled.
Having experienced life and death on the battlefield, Itachi began to ponder the meaning of life.
During the mourning ceremony, Itachi noticed a person who stayed away from the crowd. While everyone was grieving for their fellow villagers who had died, he remained indifferent, as if the loss of life meant nothing to him.
This piqued Itachi's interest; perhaps he could find the meaning of life within it.
[Mitsuki: Father!]
Mitsuki never expected to see her father during the inventory.
[Kaminarimon Denki: Father, Father, dear!]
[Iwabee: Orochimaru!!]
[Metal Lee: Ahh!]
Although these children didn't know the specifics of Orochimaru's actions, the fact that he killed the Fourth Kazekage and the Third Hokage was common knowledge.
Orochimaru is said to have three heads and six arms, a mouth full of fangs, and to feed on children every day!
So, this terrifying person was actually Mitsuki's father.
A cold sweat involuntarily broke out on their backs.
[Sasuke: Orochimaru, you didn't say anything inappropriate to Itachi, did you?]
Sasuke questioned Sasuke, but he showed absolutely no respect.
This terrified the children.
"Sarada, your father actually knows Mitsuki's father!" everyone exclaimed in surprise.
"Forehead!"
Sarada said she knew nothing about it.
Orochimaru: Itachi was a very intelligent child, it's just a pity...
"It's pointless to mourn the dead. If death has any meaning, it's only when it can be used," Orochimaru muttered to himself.
So Itachi stepped forward and posed the question, hoping to get an answer: What is the meaning of life?
Orochimaru replied, "Life has no meaning. Even if it does, the answer will only be found when life is eternal."
After saying that, he turned and left.
What they didn't know was that once Orochimaru left, he would never return!
"Is life meaningless?"
Itachi was left alone to ponder this unanswerable question.
[Akimichi Chōchō: This is so troublesome. This kind of problem is clearly beyond our ability to figure out.]
[Sarada: Yes, perhaps the Seventh Hokage could answer this question.]
Sarada said respectfully, in her eyes the Seventh Hokage seemed to be omnipotent.
[Boruto: Pshaw, how could he possibly understand such profound questions?]
Boruto said in disbelief, "Don't you know your own father?"
[Hinata: Boruto, you can't talk about your father like that.]
[Naruto: It's okay, I really don't understand this question.]
Naruto wasn't upset that his son had brought up his shortcomings; after all, he was still struggling to put food on the table at that age, and he couldn't possibly have come up with such profound questions.
But we can't just say that directly, can we?
I, the Seventh Hokage, have no pride, do I?
This is the kind of question only a genius Sasuke would think of. How could someone like me, a loser, possibly come up with such a profound question?
Sasuke, far away, was also wondering what he was doing at his age.
It's like she's following her brother around like a little tagalong.
