Itachi's Realization: I Want to Be Clan Head! (1)

Chapter 24: Itachi's Enlightenment: I Want to Be Clan Head! (1)

"Think about it!"

"Really think about it!"

At the Yuhi family's residence, Kazuki sat in a chair, repeatedly banging on the table, his expression agitated as he shouted, "Just tell me, Itachi kid, am I making sense or not?"

Itachi remained silent.

Beside him, Kurenai Yuhi watched Kazuki with a blank expression.

They're all blind, yet they're still so energetic. It's not easy!

Kurenai's mouth twitched uncontrollably.

Becoming Hokage wasn't a matter of the Uchiha agreeing, or the Hokage agreeing, and then Itachi would inherit the position.

"This..."

Itachi hesitated.

Kurenai looked speechlessly at Kazuki: Damn you!

You really didn't grow that mouth for nothing!

Itachi also wore a speechless expression.

Kazuki slammed the table hard.

So charming!

"If I become Hokage, I can change the Uchiha, allowing the Uchiha to completely integrate into the village."

After a long while, Itachi suddenly spoke, saying, "What Kazuki-bro said, I think, makes a lot of sense!"

"...Why?"

Many Uchiha didn't care who the Hokage was; they wanted the Hokage to be an Uchiha!

"Secondly!"

Itachi: "..."

"Don't say it's impossible. A ninja in their sixties might be gone at any time."

"No!"

Unlike the original story, after Kazuki's repeated meddling, Itachi had become less trusting of the Third Hokage and the others.

Itachi said in a low voice, "Kazuki-bro, becoming Hokage isn't that easy."

"No!"

"Of the four most powerful people in the Uchiha, Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Sougi, Uchiha Setsuna, and myself, Uchiha Kazuki, three are on your side."

If it were Itachi instead, it might not be entirely unacceptable.

Itachi and Kurenai fell silent.

"What does that represent?"

Good heavens, you've become the most powerful person in the Uchiha?

Kazuki said coldly, "Don't you believe in the Hokage? Do you think the Hokage is just greedy for power?"

They're being honest!

Then, not long after the Third Hokage took office, when Konoha was unstable, he caused trouble again.

"Oh, right, and Shisui! I almost forgot about that guy!" Kazuki slammed the table hard. "Tell me, will he help you?"

Beaten again!

"In all these years, has the Third Hokage trained any successors?"

Taking the position of Hokage without bloodshed would be a happy outcome for everyone.

As for the village...

Itachi nodded subconsciously.

After the successful armed coup, who would become Hokage?

"Among the new generation, three geniuses. Besides you, there's me and Shisui. Both of us are willing to support you."

Compared to Kazuki, he trusted Shisui more.

Itachi asked subconsciously;

"It represents that the Hokage was already planning to groom you as the next Hokage."

"If you become Hokage, I believe not only Clan Head Fugaku but also Elder Sougi will help you. As for old man Setsuna, you don't need to worry about him. I'll keep an eye on him and ensure he behaves. You should believe I have the ability to do that, right?"

Kazuki indeed had such an ability.

Itachi's expression was strange.

If Kazuki were to deal with Setsuna, he believed Setsuna would also become obedient.

He wasn't an idiot.

The scene was incredibly beautiful!

"Or what?" Kazuki retorted, "Are we waiting for you, or for that brat of a Third Hokage?"

After being dealt with by the Second Hokage.

Kazuki slammed the table again and shouted, "The clan will definitely support you, won't they?"

"Yes!"

"Itachi, what are you hesitating for?"

Uchiha Setsuna, with a dark and rebellious nature, often did extreme things.

"What are you hesitating for?"

He knew now that Kazuki had Jonin subordinates under him. Combined with his own strength, keeping an eye on Setsuna wouldn't be difficult.

But Kazuki looked at him with disappointment, as if he couldn't be molded into what he wanted. "Tell me, besides you, has the Third Hokage ever said this to anyone else?"

Itachi gave Kazuki a strange look.

The Uchiha also needed someone like this; otherwise, Konoha being too peaceful wasn't good.

Kazuki waved his hand grandly, full of ambition, "Don't be silent, speak up. Tell me if what I'm saying makes sense?"

Kazuki shouted, "Besides this, tell me, why hasn't the sixty-something-year-old Third Hokage cultivated a successor? Tell me!"

"Do you think I'm wrong?"

Both generations of Hokage had chosen to let him go.

Kurenai coughed dryly from the side, "If you're going to deceive, cough cough, just speak, don't resort to personal attacks."

"Itachi!"

Fugaku!

This wasn't difficult at all.

"Why hasn't he cultivated one? The Third Hokage has long since grown up. He's in his sixties, the prime of a ninja's life, and he has nothing left. He's been hoarding power for decades, so why is he clinging to the position of Hokage?"

However, it was hard to refute.

"To cultivate you!"

At least, Itachi's trust in them had been cracked open by Kazuki.

"I'm telling you!" Kazuki pointed his finger at the two of them, "The best way to solve the problems between the village and the Uchiha is to cultivate a Hokage from the Uchiha who possesses the Will of Fire!"

Itachi was stunned: "Wait, wait for me?"

I'm dizzy!

Let me catch my breath!

Me becoming Hokage... Bah, how could I possibly become Hokage?

If!

Itachi sat silently to the side.

Are Shisui and you really brothers?

"If you become Hokage, will the conflict between the village and the Uchiha still exist?"

Just as Kazuki said, the Uchiha elders would support me, and the new generation would also support me.

A sharp shout rang out.

Kazuki grabbed Itachi's shoulders with both hands and shook him vigorously, "Because you little brat were too young, he could only shamelessly continue to be Hokage. When you grow up, that's when he'll abdicate."

"The relationship between the village and the Uchiha, which makes you want to live and die, can actually be resolved very simply."

"This, this, this..."

Itachi and Kurenai were silent.

This statement felt a bit off.

Itachi: "..."

Shisui appeared.

"As long as you become Hokage!"

As if to make Itachi make up his mind.

Itachi's expression turned blank.

"First!"

"Otherwise!"

Kazuki couldn't help but roar, "The Third Hokage himself said you have the mindset of a Hokage, do you know what that means?"

Kazuki excitedly grabbed Itachi's hand and shook it vigorously!

The village has many ninja clans, big and small. How many of them are willing to have an Uchiha become Hokage?

"What if he kicks the bucket one day, what happens to Konoha?"

"Look!" Kazuki said, counting on his fingers, "Let me break it down for you."

For example, during the Second Hokage's era, he rebelled.

"If you're going to say the Uchiha are inherently evil, I'll just have to bring Shisui, no, your father, bring your father over."

And yet...

Kazuki said, "The Third Hokage will definitely support you, right?"

How could he say it?

Although he vaguely suspected... cough cough!

Absolutely cannot suspect!

That's the Hokage he respected!

Regarding this, Itachi didn't hesitate in the slightest.

"It's that simple!"

"This is also the Hokage's choice, Itachi, the product of this choice!"

A smart person, a subtle crack, was enough for him to think of many things he had previously overlooked.

Kazuki's tone turned cold, "The Hokage is deliberately making things difficult for Itachi, deliberately targeting the Uchiha. Other than that, tell me, is there a second answer?"

"Yes!"

In their eyes, the village owed them a Hokage, so they wanted to stage an armed coup and take back everything that belonged to them.

If they had the chance, the Hokages could completely use Setsuna as an excuse to eradicate the Uchiha.

"The Uchiha have many flaws, like arrogance and looking down on others... Can't they change?"

The Uchiha are going mad thinking about producing a Hokage.

His face was also bandaged, but his expression was extremely stern.

He stared coldly at Itachi, "Don't talk nonsense!"

You don't actually believe Kazuki's nonsense, do you?
