Tell You Seriously!

Fugaku's face remained expressionless. "What happened to Itachi?"

"This Itachi... sigh!" Kazuki's expression was complicated. With a sigh, he said, "That Itachi... sigh!"

Fugaku silently revealed his Three Tomoe again.

If I didn't beat you to death, I wouldn't be Fugaku—I'd change my name to Fugako!

Only then did Kazuki bluntly say, "I came to ask for a position, for Itachi's sake."

"He wants to become the Uchiha's..."

"Vice Clan Head!"

Uchiha Yashiro was no ordinary Uchiha.

Kazuki, I really underestimated you.

Fugaku was trembling all over with rage.

Vice Clan Head of the Uchiha?

"Yes!"

Kazuki cried, "What the hell is Itachi? What use is having the title of genius? Wasn't I publicly assassinated all the same? I told him that if he wanted to change the village and the Uchiha, he needed a certain amount of status. Being a genius alone was meaningless. Tell me, wasn't I right?"

At that moment, their Sharingan nearly turned into Byakugan.

"Could they have mixed up the babies at the hospital back then?"

Kazuki's face was full of regret as he said, "It's a good idea, but the problem is that his old man has only been clan head for a few days. And he's only forty this year—he can still live for a long time. How long would Itachi have to wait before taking the position?"

Kazuki had come today for one reason: to tell them about Itachi's thoughts.

"Exactly!" Kazuki nodded, asking in surprise, "Could there be another Uchiha named Yashiro?"

The Third Hokage's side might even openly object.

I already had six jonin under me, including ones who held real authority.

Fugaku and Setsuna exchanged a glance. Fugaku slowly said, "Kazuki, we understand what you mean. We will consider letting Itachi..."

"How many jonin?"

Fugaku's eyes narrowed dangerously.

"Itachi felt that becoming Hokage directly would be too difficult, so he settled for the next best thing and chose to first become the Uchiha clan head."

Kazuki openly told Fugaku and Setsuna everything about his subordinates.

"Enough, stop spouting nonsense. We know. We understand very clearly. So talk about something else!"

You need to stay calm.

Neither Fugaku nor Setsuna spoke.

The words fell.

Kazuki looked surprised. "Oh! You already knew? You really know a lot!"

The other reason was that Kazuki wanted to tell them something.

Fugaku was stern!

Setsuna was sneering!

Kazuki looked at the two, slammed the table, and shouted, "If you don't know, let me explain! But this has to begin in the distant, distant past..."

Since they would eventually find out if they investigated, he might as well tell them himself and secure the greatest bargaining chip possible.

Even within the entire Uchiha clan, he could barely be considered part of the upper ranks.

Forget whether the Uchiha even had such a position; even if they did, they would never give it to Itachi.

A tiny bit?

He was one of the Konoha Military Police Force's upper echelons, second only to Fugaku in status.

"What do you mean, nonsense?" Kazuki refused to accept that. He slammed the table and shouted, "A child wants to do something—why wouldn't his parents support him?"

Old bastard, are you trying to get my son killed?

Kazuki said helplessly, "I tried to persuade him. The first thing I thought of was Hokage. The Third Hokage had said that Itachi could think with a Hokage's mindset at the age of seven. Then if Itachi became Hokage at seventeen, that would be perfectly normal, right?"

"Enough, listen to me!"

Setsuna could not help glancing at Fugaku.

It was him!

"No!" Kazuki said with a solemn expression. "What I advised him at first was to kill Uchiha Fugaku."

And he supported it!

Fugaku looked over coldly.

He was used to it!

He had noticed something else.

Kazuki said aggrievedly, "You're being unreasonable. Whenever anything bad happens, you dump it on me. Am I the Uchiha's Ninjutsu of Darkness? Uchiha Kazuki Danzo?"

Faced with Kazuki saying "kill him" on the left and "kill him" on the right, Fugaku's expression did not change.

"Yes, Muren, Nandou, Tekka, Inabi, Yashiro, and the beautiful Lady Chiba. They all think I'm pretty good. They think they'll have a future if they follow me."

Setsuna and Fugaku's breathing quickened.

He had actually chosen Kazuki!

Why?

What gave him the right?

What kind of charm did this Uchiha, who always loved causing trouble, possess?

Fugaku and Setsuna stared fixedly at Kazuki.

"Hmph!" Fugaku snorted coldly and said nothing more.

Don't worry, I absolutely won't stop you.

At least wait until Kazuki finished talking before making a move.

"..."

The two said nothing, merely staring straight at him.

"So you encouraged him to become some Uchiha Vice Clan Head?"

He was one of the four squad captains of the Konoha Military Police Force.

Fugaku's expression darkened.

"Say something!"

"It's nothing!"

Kazuki grew anxious and cried, "We need to have a conscience in how we conduct ourselves. Judge people, not matters. Just tell me, did what I said make sense?"

Kazuki suddenly said, "I have something extremely serious to tell you!"

Normal my ass!

Probably only you thought it was normal.

"You, you..."

There was no need for doubt, no need for hesitation.

Fine!

Just fine!

"Then I'll continue!" Kazuki thought for a moment and said, "Itachi is very troubled. He wants to change the relationship between the Uchiha and the village. He wants it very, very badly."

Kazuki said with a smile, "Shisui also expressed his support. The kid came to me, so I agreed on behalf of the several jonin under me. I also wanted to know just how capable someone the Third Hokage believed had a Hokage's mindset at seven really was."

Kazuki waved his hand grandly. "So I suggested right then that he kill his dad..."

As long as Fugaku dared to do it, who knew how many people would think the same way.

The two remained expressionless.

It was him!

"That's the whole story."

He really dared to think that!

"Uchiha Yashiro?"

"I thought it over and decided to first make him one of the Uchiha's managers, so he could get involved with clan affairs. As for killing his dad, that could wait until later. There would be plenty of opportunities anyway."

Have some confidence!

One hundred percent, it was you from beginning to end!

If it wasn't you, I'd cut off my own head and use it as a ball.

"Not consider—definitely!" Kazuki looked at Fugaku in confusion. "Are you even Itachi's father? You won't even support your own child. Could it be..."

Setsuna slowly said, "Kazuki, how could Itachi have such thoughts? Did you say something to him again?"

Is your family planning to turn the Uchiha into your private property?

Fugaku's cheek twitched.

Upon hearing this topic, Fugaku and Setsuna's expressions changed slightly.

His hand chopped down fiercely, as though he had already severed Fugaku's head.

Oh, my mother!

I wasn't without support in the Uchiha.

It was him!

It was Kazuki!

There was no need to look for a second person besides him.

A thirteen-year-old child!

Setsuna smiled without warmth. "Continue."

Although it was phrased as a question, his tone was exceptionally certain.

And he was Fugaku's child!

What?

The veins on Fugaku's forehead bulged.

Setsuna smiled.

This time, even Setsuna's expression changed.

Fugaku almost roared, "Uchiha Kazuki, what nonsense are you talking about?"

So why not guess how many ordinary Uchiha supported me?

Fugaku sighed.

He possessed exceptionally precise analytical and command abilities. Even Fugaku valued and respected him greatly.

Kazuki said helplessly, "Fine, it... has a tiny little bit to do with me."

They understood.

Setsuna smiled faintly.

"Yashiro?"

At the same time.

Setsuna said flatly, "If he wants to change the current situation, he truly needs status. Then why not have him run in the competition for Hokage?"

"Once his dad died, there would be much more room to maneuver. But the kid refused."

Fugaku gave a cold laugh. "Still able to live for a long time? My apologies."

At that moment, Setsuna and Fugaku's thoughts were astonishingly aligned!

"Sigh, I'm sure you both know about the relationship between the village and the Uchiha!"

Seeing Kazuki's expression, the two could not stop their balls from aching.

Whenever Kazuki wore that expression, great terror was destined to descend.
