Looking at the figure in front of him, Uchiha Chen looked surprised.
The usual Fugaku always wears a black windbreaker, and his hair is very neatly styled. He talks with a smile, but in fact he has a sense of superiority.
And now...
He looked expressionless, but his brows and eyes were full of sorrow. Moreover, he was not dressed as a ninja, but in plain wide Yamato clothes. What was even stranger was that his left eye was covered with a thick bandage...
Are your eyes injured?
Uchiha Chen was puzzled, but he did not think about Izanagi. After all, few people would use this kind of Forbidden Jutsu unless they were in desperate situations.
Speaking of which, the two hadn't seen each other for more than ten days since their last conversation.
There were no rumors about the Uchiha Clan in the village. Likewise, Uchiha Chen never saw the team escorting the Sand Ninja appear again... as if they suddenly disappeared.
Looking at the way Fugaku is dressed now, I think something really happened.
Uchiha Chen pressed his doubts and was about to stand up, but this Young Clan Head held his shoulders and did not mind the dust, but sat directly side by side on the ground.
"The sun is warm and it's really comfortable to bask in. Why didn't I notice it before?" After a long time, Fugaku opened his exposed right eye and asked.
Uchiha Chen smiled and said, "Things that are too ordinary are easily overlooked."
"Yes, especially for a family like ours who use their eyes, they are more likely to be careless than ordinary ninjas. They always like to look at the height of this mountain...
Speaking of which, I have always felt that you are not like one of our Uchiha Clan clansmen. Now that I think about it, it is because you do not have this or that problem. "
Uchiha Chen laughed dumbly. If Fugaku refers to Long Aotian, he is indeed an atypical Uchiha Clan.
Fugaku continued his words: "If I could be like you, I wouldn't be like this."
Uchiha Chen asked knowingly, "What's wrong, the sand ninja attacked you?"
Fugaku shook his head and briefly explained the whole thing.
Generally speaking, he didn't add any fuel to the fire, because with Uchiha Chen's relationship, he could find out the truth with just a little inquiry, so there was no need to play tricks on this kind of thing.
However, he did not mention Izanagi about how he escaped in the end, but was vague about it.
Uchiha Chen After listening, he pondered for a moment and said, "How are the casualties among the tribesmen this time?"
"In the end, even me, only seven people escaped."
Uchiha Chen shook his head. "You are too impulsive. Sunagakure A village cannot be resisted by one clan."
"Yes, but it's too late to say this now." Fugaku's voice was bitter. "The pensions for the clan members who died in the war have been paid out. As the person responsible for this, I also resigned from my position Police Force Squad Leader."
Uchiha Chen nodded and said, "Then is there anything you need me to do?
Fugaku pointed to his eyes that were wrapped in bandages. "There was something wrong with my eyes during the battle..."
"Can it be cured?"
"Yes, already blind."
Uchiha Chen frowned and said, "What if I get a new eye?"
Fugaku shook his head. "Medical Ninja in the clan said that the nerve tissue around the retina has been completely damaged, and simply replacing the eyes is no longer possible."
In fact, they also tried this method, but in the end they just wasted one Sharingan and did not restore the lost vision, otherwise Fugaku would not have been found here...
Uchiha Chen did not speak, but pondered for a moment.
He can now basically conclude that this Young Clan Head used Forbidden Jutsu Izanagi.
If Tsunade hadn't mentioned it casually before, and the cost of using Izanagi was too obvious, Uchiha Chen would have been deceived by Fugaku...
As for why I didn't tell you anything, it was probably because I was afraid that he would raise the price and ask for this life-saving Forbidden Jutsu...
Uchiha Chen laughed in his heart, but asked calmly, "You want me to help you find Teacher Tsunade for treatment, right?"
"Yes, Tsunade cured Clan Chief Hyuga some time ago. His symptoms were similar to mine. Come to think of it..."
Uchiha Chen nodded and said, "That's true, but in fact the risk is also very high, otherwise Hyuga clan leader would not have delayed it until now."
"I'm already blind, how could I be worse?"
Uchiha Chen patted his chest and said, "Okay, leave it to me. I'll ask her, but you should have heard about it..."
Fugaku wondered, "What?"
Uchiha Chen sighed, "I asked her to treat Mikoto, and she charged me three hundred thousand taels!"
"..."
Uchiha Chen continued to lament, "I am still her apprentice, but in front of money, she disowns her relatives!
You may not think that Mr. Tsunade looks like a dog, but in fact he is full of bad ideas and has bad medical ethics, so you should be mentally prepared. "
"..."
Fugaku is Uchiha Clan Young Clan Head. It's not that he can't afford three hundred thousand taels, but think about it, even his apprentice, Tsunade, is cruel enough to ask for so much money, so he has to give him a few gold and silver mountains.
"Anyway, brother Fugaku, you must explain it clearly to the clan leader."
Fugaku nodded. "I will definitely tell my father. After all, you can't get the money. Anyway, I am very grateful to you for helping me."
Uchiha Chen smiled, "It should, it should."
The two stood up and walked outside Training Ground. When they reached the door, Fugaku took Uchiha Chen's hand and said, "My father invites you to my house for dinner the day after tomorrow. You must come."
Uchiha Chen thought for a moment and said, "Thank you, Chief, for your kindness. I will definitely go."
Seeing that he agreed, Fugaku turned around and headed towards the clan Earth Flow.
"Young Clan Head, the clan leader is already waiting in the study."
After Fugaku returned home, a Uchiha Clan Jonin approached and said this.
"Well, I'll go now." Fugaku nodded and walked straight into the house.
There was only Uchiha Yama in the study, and he was reading books. When he saw his son walking in, he raised his head and motioned for Fugaku to sit down.
"Father." Fugaku greeted him respectfully before finding a chair and sitting down.
"How's the situation?"
"Chen has already agreed, but he said that Tsunade might raise the price..."
Uchiha Yama nodded. "As expected, Tsunade belongs to the Senju Clan. Although he has not been affected much by the ideas of the older generation Warring States Period, he is not a bad person either. Be prepared to bleed a lot."
Fugaku couldn't help but ask, "Then why don't you find Third Hokage? We have suffered such a big loss this time, so it is only natural that the village should treat me..."
Uchiha Yama interrupted him, "Yesterday Sarutobi Hiruzen showed me Sunagakure's accountability letter!"
"What accountability letter?"
"Sunagakure accused us of carrying out a sneak attack on them and breaking the signed treaty."
Fugaku said angrily, "They are a defeated country, they are worthy of blaming us!"
"Yes, Sunagakure is a defeated country and it is indeed unworthy, but how can we Uchiha Clan not be defeated at the hands of Senju Hashirama?" Uchiha Yama sat slumped in a chair.
"Otherwise, why would I be today, being manipulated by Sarutobi Hiruzen, and having his hat pulled off, I can only have nothing to say.
In this case, if we still want him to convince Tsunade, we can only be blackmailed more! "
Fugaku hesitated for a moment. "What if we spread the word to the village that Sunagakure will attack us?"
"Sunagakure was just defeated by Konoha, and then we turned around and sent a wave of attacks. What do you want the other ninjas to think? They will only think that we Uchiha Clan are embarrassed."
Uchiha Yama stood up and walked to the window, stood with his hands behind his hands and continued, "After all, the root cause is still Third Hokage. If he doesn't take the initiative to hold Sunagakure responsible, it will be useless no matter what we do."
Fugaku said angrily, "Then let the tribesmen die like this? Aren't we the villagers of Konoha?
And that Shimura Danzo, what's going on with him? He clearly promised us that no matter what happens..."
"Crack!"
Uchiha Yama walked up to Fugaku and slapped him hard. "Don't let me hear you say such stupid things again.
You have to remember that anything anyone promises you doesn't count, only what you can control counts! "
Fugaku covered his mouth and stared blankly at his unfamiliar father, then nodded. "I remember."
After another half while, Uchiha Yama looked at his seventeen-year-old son, sighed, and then said softly, "Don't think about this anymore."
"Your current identity is Young Clan Head of the Uchiha Clan. Even if you are blind in one eye, you are still Young Clan Head of the Uchiha Clan.
In the future, you will also become the leader of the largest clan in Konoha. Every move you make is related to this family. You must be more mature in the future and stop acting rashly. "
"Yes!" Fugaku lowered his head and listened to his father's admonishment.
"Also, if Tsunade can really repair your nerves, I will transplant my left eye to you."
"What?!"
Uchiha Yama waved his hand and said, "Don't refuse in a hurry. For us Uchiha Clan, you know how important blood relations are. It was Madara who transplanted his younger brother's eyes to open Eternal Mangekyo.
I will never be able to open Mangekyo Sharingan in this life, but I place my hope on you. With any Three Tomoe Sharingan, you may not be able to open your eyes Mangekyo Sharingan, but if it is my eyes, I think the impact will not be big.
And I'm already old and don't need to go out to fight anymore, but you are still young now. "
Fugaku knelt on the ground, tears welling up like a fountain. "Father, I will definitely open Mangekyo Sharingan and regain the glory of our Uchiha Clan."
Uchiha Yama laughed and said, "I believe you are my son after all."
Fugaku wiped his tears and said, "Then what should you do? We still have a backup Sharingan in our clan, why not..."
"Just leave me alone, I have my own arrangements."
Uchiha Yama touched his left eye and showed a strange smile.
