"Come and have breakfast."

Uchiha Fugaku smiled as he took the breakfast Uchiha Mikoto brought in.

"Where is Sasuke?"

Hearing Uchiha Fugaku's inquiry, Uchiha Mikoto also said with a smile.

"I just called him to get up."

"Itachi, go quickly and wake your brother up. Oh, and don't forget to take him to school today."

Hearing Uchiha Fugaku's words, Itachi could only stand up silently to go wake Sasuke for breakfast.

Seeing Uchiha Itachi leave, Uchiha Fugaku immediately pulled Uchiha Mikoto into his arms.

"Mikoto, come, let me feed you."

Hearing Uchiha Fugaku's words, Uchiha Mikoto immediately resisted.

"Stop, the children are still here."

"It's fine, don't I know Sasuke? He won't be getting up for a while."

"No, no, how did you become like this, Fugaku?"

Hearing Uchiha Mikoto's question, Uchiha Fugaku laughed.

"Isn't it because I just resolved the issues between the clan and the village, so I'm in a good mood?"

"Fine."

Hearing Uchiha Fugaku's words, Uchiha Mikoto set aside the doubts in her heart. After all, Uchiha Fugaku was never a serious person to begin with; just think about it, how serious could a man who robs the cradle be?

After finishing breakfast, Itachi went to take Sasuke to school, having already resigned from his duties.

Uchiha Fugaku didn't know what to do for a moment, so he subconsciously started feeding the fish in the courtyard.

Uchiha Mikoto, who had just finished cleaning up, was stunned for a moment as she watched Uchiha Fugaku standing blankly in the courtyard feeding the fish.

"Fugaku, aren't you going to the Military Police Force to work? You'll be late if you don't leave now."

"Work at the Military Police Force? Late?"

Only then did Uchiha Fugaku remember what he had forgotten. He was the head of a clan now; he was supposed to be very busy.

"Oh right, the Military Police Force. Mikoto, I'm leaving now; I'm already late."

After speaking, Uchiha Fugaku used the Body Flicker Technique and rushed rapidly toward the Konoha Military Police Force.

"Good morning, Clan Head. Is there something important that has you in such a rush?"

Seeing the hurried Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Zhi, who was guarding the gate, immediately greeted him.

Hearing Uchiha Zhi's inquiry, Uchiha Fugaku subconsciously replied.

"I'm late for work, how can I not be in a rush?"

Hearing Uchiha Fugaku's words, Uchiha Zhi was completely confused.

Is being late for work that urgent?

Is there some important matter that needs to be handled?

Uchiha Fugaku, who had rushed into the Military Police Force, was also stunned.

Speaking of being late, Uchiha Fugaku suddenly realized.

I am the Captain of the Military Police Force and the Clan Head! Who has a death wish and would dare to reprimand me for being late?

Thinking of this, Uchiha Fugaku immediately calmed down and began to walk at a leisurely pace.

It's all because of these memories from my past life; I've become obsessed with going to work.

But the moment Uchiha Fugaku pushed open the door to his office, he found a group of elders standing inside with solemn expressions.

Holy crap, they aren't actually here to sanction me for being late to work, are they?

That shouldn't be right? It's just being late for work.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Fugaku couldn't help but feel a bit guilty.

However, once he remembered that he was the Clan Head, Uchiha Fugaku couldn't help but straighten his back, then calmly walked over to his desk and sat down.

He looked at the many elders and spoke.

"Great Elder, is there something you and the other elders need from me?"

Seeing Uchiha Fugaku acting this way, the Great Elder couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Didn't you make a bold declaration yesterday about leading us back to our original clan grounds?

Isn't the reason I and the other elders are here waiting for you today to get a result?

However, Uchiha Setsuna feared that if he asked and Uchiha Fugaku failed to deliver, he would lose face, so he had no choice but to phrase his inquiry more tactfully.

"Clan Head Fugaku, do you remember the matter you spoke of at yesterday's clan meeting?"

Clan meeting?

The matter?

Wasn't it just surviving the Night of the Massacre? Didn't I clear that perfectly?

Could it be that he wants to ask me for an explanation regarding Itachi?

Uchiha Setsuna, are you feeling brave? You actually dare to bring so many elders here to demand one?

That is my son! You dare come here to demand an explanation?

Do you think my Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan is a joke?

Or do you think my Complete Body Susanoo isn't tough enough?

Thinking of this, Uchiha Fugaku's expression darkened as he spoke.

"What is it, Elder Uchiha Setsuna? Do you truly want me to give you an explanation?"

Seeing Uchiha Fugaku's expression shift, Uchiha Setsuna couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart.

That detestable Kagami Uchiha pushed me straight into the fire.

I told him long ago not to ask, not to ask.

We should have waited for the Clan Head to bring it up himself, and if he didn't, we should have acted as if it never happened.

Meanwhile, seeing the look Uchiha Setsuna was shooting his way, Kagami Uchiha couldn't help but avert his gaze.
