Hokage Selection! Come out, Minato Namikaze

At the gathering, Fugaku did not deny the possibility of a coup d'état.

In that moment, Itachi felt a profound sense of disappointment in Fugaku.

Those unable to cast aside their prejudices were not qualified to become Hokage.

However, the genius Itachi could always sense an unfamiliar fluctuation emanating from his father; his intuition warned him that his father possessed a power he did not understand.

It was much like when he faced Uchiha Shimizu.

Though, the feeling Uchiha Shimizu gave off was even more suffocating.

Even so, Itachi dared not claim he could secure a victory against Fugaku.

Furthermore, Itachi discovered that his own constitution was different from the average person, being far stronger than a typical Uchiha.

His chakra reserves were the same.

The only explanation was that his father's strength had allowed him, as a son, to inherit Fugaku's bloodline.

"Itachi!"

A loud shout rang out.

It was not Uchiha Izumi who spoke, but Uchiha Tekka, who had not yet come upstairs.

"Captain Fugaku is your father. How could you say such things, and in front of everyone, no less?"

Uchiha Tekka frowned deeply. If not for the fact that Itachi was Captain Fugaku's son, and that he had to consider the Captain's reputation, he would have truly wanted to teach Itachi a lesson.

An Uchiha, actually saying such things that bolstered the enemy's morale and diminished his own!

What did he know about the capacity of the clan?

What was it? Did Itachi look down on the Uchiha?

"Senior Tekka, Itachi didn't mean it. Please don't be angry."

Seeing several clansmen casting glares in their direction, Uchiha Izumi quickly stepped forward to speak for Itachi, hoping to prevent the situation from escalating.

Izumi apologized repeatedly on Itachi's behalf, and the other clansmen ultimately did not pursue
