Land of Fire.
Konoha.
Uchiha Clan's backyard.
At this moment, the Black Naganao team of Yingying and Yanyan are preparing to go on stage, and the captain of the maid team, Hyuga Natsuhi, who is responsible for taking care of Hinata and Issei's daily life, is talking seriously to the candidates. Not far away, Yuboku and Samui are also imparting experience to the juniors.
Speaking of which, even Fugaku himself didn't expect it.
Beauty Pageant, which was designed just to lick Hyuga Hitoshi at the beginning, has now become more and more formal, and the competition among everyone has become more and more fierce.
The number of candidates has also expanded from the Uchiha Clan to the entire Konoha, and now there is a trend of spreading to the entire Shinobi World.
All beautiful girls of the right age have the opportunity to go through layers of screening, and Maid Squad who joins His Majesty Sun God will have their status and status increased from then on.
Competition is fierce, so naturally the process becomes cutthroat.
In addition to appearance, these candidates must also learn how to be a qualified maid, which is why Summer Maid Chief brought someone over to teach them.
Perhaps at the beginning, the black and straight people of Uchiha had to join Beauty Pageant just because of Clan Head's order, but later when Sun God Country was completely stabilized, and the identity of the maids around His Majesty Sun God became completely popular, there was no such thing as compulsion.
Everyone knows the principles of the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister. Not everyone can join Maid Squad of His Majesty Sun God, but once successfully joined, they will skyrocket. In addition to the enhanced version of Sun God Seal, if you are favored by His Majesty Sun God, you may have the opportunity to become God Consort of the Divine Kingdom. Everything is right before your eyes.
Of course, at this stage, because there are enough girls around Hyuga Hitoshi, Hyuga Hitoshi has restrained himself a lot when he started.
However, many people who know Hitoshi Clan Head firmly believe that he will take action again, but now Shinobi World's flowers have not grown yet and he cannot destroy them.
"How is the effect of Eye Power Supplement Liquid from Snake Minister?"
At the beauty pageant's judging table, Hyuga Hitoshi looked curiously at Fugaku next to him and asked.
"It's very good. At least the problem of vision loss has been improved, and the pupil power has also been improved."
When Eye Power Supplement Liquid was mentioned, Fugaku immediately looked impressed. He originally asked Orochimaru to study Sharingan with the attitude of giving it a try, but he did not expect that he would actually gain something.
"It's useful, but just supplementing the pupil power is not enough. Snake Minister and I are studying how to stably let Mangekyo evolve while retaining the pupil power, reaching the level of Eternal Eyes."
There are examples of this in the original work.
Obito, which is fused with Hashirama Senju's Cells, can use Kamui as if without restrictions. After becoming Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, he can even replenish his pupil power again and use the last power to let Kakashi activate Perfect Susanoo. There is no doubt that he already belongs to the Eternal Eyes level at that time.
The problem is already obvious, it lies in the integration of Indra and Asura Chakra, so the research on this aspect Naruto is the key, waiting for If Naruto grows a little more and can Skillful Application Asura's Legacy, he may be able to develop the power of Asura, the beggar's version, and stabilize Mangekyo's pupil power.
"Hitoshi Brother Gaoyi! I can't speak. From now on, Uchiha's Hei Changzhi will be your second harem! You can choose whatever you want!"
Good boy, you're not hiding anything anymore.
Hyuga Hitoshi's mouth twitched, and he no longer knew how to evaluate Fugaku in front of him.
However, there is one thing to say, precisely because of the existence of Fugaku, as Sun God Country Lord, he has always been full of expectations for the future life, and his After-party Program has always been directly filled up.
Sun God Country developed steadily, the wives found what they liked, and the tribesmen became stronger step by step. Shinobi World also became peaceful and friendly because of the existence of Sun God Country. Countries began to trade with each other, and unknown areas outside Shinobi World also began to be explored. Worldview began to be enriched because of his actions.
And his Energy Vessel Tenseigan has gradually become perfect after several years of hard work. Over the years, he has basically completed Tenseigan - Absorption that can absorb Six Paths Ninja Tools, and the magical Gelel Stone has also been directly controlled by Sun God Country to create the exclusive mineral vein belonging to God Country Guard.
The only regret is that because Hyuga Hitoshi's control over time is still weak, he did not dare to absorb the power of Dragon Vein without authorization. He only met Roran Queen Sara while traveling in the desert and helped her solve the problem of the powerful minister and Next Generation's successor.
Regarding the power of Dragon Vein, Hyuga Hitoshi plans to complete the process, use the power of Infinite Tsukuyomi to temper Energy Vessel Tenseigan, and then consider absorbing it after it is completely integrated with Energy Vessel Tenseigan.
People will always pay the price for their recklessness and ignorance. Hyuga Hitoshi is self-aware. He cannot restrain the power of time. If used improperly, it will cause disaster. He does not want to absorb Dragon Vein and then As Soon As I Opened My Eyes will go thousands of years ago and have no way to come back. Or, at a glance, the people around him for ten thousand years have turned into withered bones in the grave. What an irresponsible performance.
Therefore, at this stage, he does not plan to act without authorization, but is just keeping Dragon Vein under control.
Everything is getting better at Shinobi World.
Just like Hyuga Hitoshi said, while he maintains his enthusiasm for Sun God Country, his existence will definitely bring peace to Shinobi World, and this enthusiasm should not dissipate before overthrowing Otsutsuki Clan's status as the ruler of the universe.
"Speaking of which, if Itachi really goes the wrong way, what are you going to do with him?"
Blinking at Uchiha Chiri in the distance, Hyuga Hitoshi asked Fugaku leisurely as he watched her run away in panic.
"Itachi."
Fugaku first let out a long sigh, and then showed a wry smile.
"To be honest, I was disappointed with his performance, but he is."
After all, he is his only biological son.
Fugaku told Hitoshi Clan Head early on about the idea of looking for Uchiha Hikari, wanting her to go on a blind date with Hyuga Hitoshi, and using this to test his son's mettle.
Some people may think that what he is going to do like sending Uchiha Hikari to Hyuga Hitoshi is no different from the usual dog-licking behavior.
But Hyuga Hitoshi understands that this is the real smart person.
The news that Sealing Grounds was found from the Sarutobi Clan a few years ago cannot be hidden from others.
And Hyuga Clan is also from the wealthy family of Warring States Period, and he also has a certain understanding of the existence of Uchiha Hikari.
So Fugaku simply chose to give the disposal rights of Uchiha Hikari to Hyuga Hitoshi in order to express his position! But he did not keep this unstable factor.
After all, his son habitually thinks that Uchiha Clan is looking for Ultimate Weapon in order to overthrow the rule of Hyuga Hitoshi and establish the hegemonic regime of the Uchiha Clan. If his son is like this, what will others think?
Therefore, in order to avoid suspicion and prevent the Hitoshi Brother who finally understood it from being alienated from each other, Fugaku chose the most correct approach.
That is to hand over Ultimate Weapon!
In order to achieve this step, he even killed many radical elements in the clan who did not know their importance.
Yes.
After releasing Uchiha Hikari's seal, in addition to testing his own Big-headed Son's courage, Fugaku also wanted to see if there would be a swollen guy in the Uchiha Clan. The result was obvious. Someone really wanted to use the power of Uchiha Hikari to enhance Uchiha Clan's voice.
Human nature will never stand the test, especially extremists like Uchiha who like to show off.
They even believe that Hyuga Clan, who was once One of the Konoha Twin Eyes, can carve out a country. Since Hyuga Clan can do it, and even does it so well, there is no reason why Uchiha Clan, who is also One of the Konoha Twin Eyes, cannot do this.
As long as the power of Uchiha Hikari is used properly, it is not a problem to create a Yin God Country similar to Sun God Country. Then it will no longer be Konoha Twin Eyes, but Shinobi World Twin Eyes, which is very good at first sight.
In short, they did not want to tolerate being Shinobi World's second best. They were typical dangerous elements who clearly understood their status. But this time they had become Hokage. Fugaku, who had his own absolute confidant, did not choose to continue to tolerate it. Instead, he quietly used the convenience of Hokage to resolve these unsettling factors.
It was also this kind of move that made Fugaku realize what a qualified Hokage should do, and also seemed to understand why Sarutobi was so laissez-faire towards Danzo.
But it seems that they are all doing the same thing, but they are actually different.
The old Village Chief's indulgence time and time again made Konoha become weaker and more unstable. However, when he dealt with these radical boys, he really did it for the sake of the village, and his nature was completely different.
Fugaku also used this move to let Uchiha Itachi understand that his father had no intention of taking advantage of Uchiha Hikari, but just wanted to hand over such dangerous things to Hyuga Hitoshi for safekeeping.
Now, as long as Uchiha Itachi goes to carefully observe his tribe, listen to the thoughts of the tribesmen, and then sit down and have a serious chat with his father and ask the questions he wants to ask, as long as he does this, he will definitely learn the truth about Uchiha Hikari and his father's thoughts from his gratified old father.
Fugaku was obviously waiting for Itachi to come to him and have a frank and honest talk with Itachi.
Just like Sarutobi Hiruzen wants his son to become a dragon and support his son Hokage Position, Fugaku also wants to train his son so that Itachi can truly possess the qualities of Hokage.
Hitoshi Brother told him before that a person like Uchiha Itachi would not be a qualified Uchiha Clan Member, but he would be a qualified Hokage, but only if his distorted mentality is changed.
He was giving his son a chance, but now it seems that Uchiha Itachi has no intention of seizing the opportunity. Instead, he expresses his opinions intentionally or unintentionally.
Itachi felt that his father, Hokage, was forcing others to participate in the beauty pageant and ignoring the thoughts of those beautiful girls. He was so angry that he slapped his son away with his big buttocks.
This is not the point Fugaku wants him to grasp at all!
"I hope he can figure it out soon."
With another long sigh, Fugaku, who was worried about his son, admitted that he was a failed father, but he had tried his best. He really didn't expect that his son could be so paranoid.
"Fugaku should prepare in advance to prevent him from being used by gangsters to harm Uchiha Clan."
Others don't care, as long as it doesn't affect the beauty pageant later.
As Hyuga Hitoshi held Uchiha Izumi, one of the new maids, in his arms, announcing that Beauty Pageant won the championship with Uchiha Izumi and Uchiha Chiri came second, the beauty pageant ended successfully.
Looking at Uchiha Izumi, who had a pretty and slightly red face, Hyuga Hitoshi raised his eyebrows. He felt that life needed a sense of ritual, and then he stretched out his hand and tapped Uchiha Izumi's forehead.
"Forgive me, this is the last time."
That won't work!
Uchiha Izumi was so anxious that he bit Hyuga Hitoshi's finger.
"Ahem~ You don't have to worry too much about this issue."
Fugaku looked away intently. Anyway, he had nothing to worry about.
"Just like his brother's love for his younger brother, Sasuke doesn't want to see his brother go astray. Once things become out of control, Sasuke will make his brother understand that his so-called magnanimity is nothing."
When he thought of Sasuke, Fugaku's expression was slightly unnatural, not because of the child's bloodline, nor because the child was born to his brother and his brother's sister-in-law. He didn't care about this. After all, as long as Sasuke still had the surname Uchiha, he was his son.
Fugaku's silence and unnaturalness were due to the fact that what happened when he taught Sasuke Great Fireball Technique that day was so shocking that he has not yet recovered from the shock.
The conscience of heaven and earth, Fugaku is also Only Then Did He Realize. When a person is strong enough, even the most ordinary Great Fireball Technique can burn the entire lake clean!
In terms of talent and strength, Sasuke is already super powerful, especially since the follow-up Hitoshi Brother also gave Sasuke Sun God Seal. The huge strength gap is even more daunting.
But Itachi, who hasn't practiced with Sasuke for a long time, doesn't know this strength, so once Itachi goes astray, his brother will definitely teach him how to behave.
Anyway, through the performance of Sasuke, the final result is that Fugaku's belief in sending Uchiha Hei Changzhi to Hyuga Hitoshi's side has become stronger.
As for the young people
This was an opportunity to prove to Hitoshi Brother the power of Uchiha, and also an opportunity to prove to everyone that there was nothing wrong with him as Hokage. He planned to handle it on his own, and it would not be too late to ask for help from Hitoshi Brother if he couldn't stand it any longer.
"I just hope Itachi can make the right choice for once."
People have countless choices in this life, which will also affect their final outcome.
Fugaku This time, he wanted to make his son understand him from the bottom of his heart, and also wanted to completely correct his thinking. This was Itachi's last chance.
As a father, Fugaku feels extremely complicated right now.
Beauty Pageant ended successfully, and Orochimaru, who came belatedly, strangely became the third runner-up of Beauty Pageant after Shisui signed her up, and was very popular.
But Hyuga Hitoshi said he couldn't bear it, and told Orochimaru Research Department that he couldn't live without Snake Minister, just like Uchiha couldn't live without Fugaku, and quickly evacuated the scene with Uchiha Izumi and Uchiha Chiri.
And Fugaku obviously doesn't know that the son he has high hopes for at this moment has obviously made the wrong choice again and is going further and further down the wrong road.
Land of Fire.
Old Fire Temple Site.
Since Land of Fire Daimyo's name appeared on the execution list and was executed on Shinobi World Conference five years ago, whether it is Conservative Faction Guardian Ninja headed by Chiriku, or Kazuma Radical Faction Guardian Ninja headed by all disappeared without a trace, and Fire Temple without Chiriku has also become a lot more desolate. Until now, it has been completely neglected and completely abandoned.
But desolation also has its advantages.
Uchiha Itachi and Sarutobi Asuma had a quick farewell last time, and they agreed to meet again at Fire Temple, which became their secret contact point.
Sasha~
Figures were moving through the jungle, and Uchiha Itachi, who seemed to be feeling something, quickened his pace.
But when he fell into the desolate courtyard of Fire Temple, which was overgrown with weeds, he took a closer look and discovered a scene that made his eyes split open.
The fatal hook lock locked the strength of Asuma's proud lower body, and the sharp Kunai also pierced Brother Asuma's broad chest, and the bright red blood stained the ground. Even so, Brother Asuma still stood firm in the face of the enemy's siege, and wanted to fight back unyieldingly.
As if he caught Uchiha Itachi's gaze, Asuma, who was seriously injured in the fierce battle, his eyes lit up, and then he used his last strength to shout something like saying something regardless of the cost.
"Uchi."
Phew!
But the cruel reality did not give Asuma a chance to explain the follow-up. When he was distracted by wanting to leak the information, a Shuriken also stabbed his neck, the artery was cut, and Brother Asuma's blood suddenly spurted out.
Witnessing this scene, Uchiha Itachi not far away also let out a mournful cry:
"Brother Asuma!"
The scarlet Three Tomoe was running rapidly in his eyes, and with the flow of blood and tears, the displayed Mangekyo appeared in his pupils. He seemed to have awakened some new ability!
But it was too late to use it. Those who besieged Asuma did not want to fight after they were sure that Asuma would definitely die. They did not want to conflict with Itachi and ran away.
Itachi, who was concerned about Brother Asuma, did not pursue him. He rushed over and blocked Brother Asuma's neck with his hands, but the bright red blood still couldn't stop flowing.
"Yu"
Brother Asuma had lost the power to speak, but he still wanted to tell Itachi something.
"I know, Brother Asuma."
Itachi shook his head, blood and tears flowed down the tear trough and fell on Asuma's face, but Brother Asuma, who was on the verge of death, had a look of confusion on his face.
What do you know?
"It was the people from Uchiha who did it! In order to prevent you from preventing them from lifting the seal of Uchiha Ultimate Weapon, they had no choice but to kill you!"
Uchiha Itachi said angrily.
?
Not really!
It is true that these people are Uchiha, but something seems wrong.
But that's not important.
Asuma's face was purple and black, and he was obviously holding his breath and didn't want to die, because this was just a misunderstanding, and he already knew the truth!
I just want to hand over the unstable weapon to the Hyuga Clan and arrange a blind date for Lord Hitoshi and Uchiha Hikari. Brother, can you please stop having so many dramas in your mind!
He had told Itachi countless times before not to view Uchiha Fugaku in this way, not to misinterpret the meaning of Fifth, and not to make arbitrary conclusions before the truth of the matter emerged.
But Uchiha Itachi has never heard of it!
"Go back to my father"
Go ask your father!
Feeling the loss of body strength and knowing that he was about to die, Asuma tried his best to tell Uchiha Itachi the truth of the matter.
But.
"I know, my father is the mastermind behind this!"
Uchiha Itachi nodded sadly.
"Don't worry, Brother Asuma! I will inherit your will and I will never let the clan's conspiracy succeed! I will deal with my father's Mangekyo! I will also stop the clan's Evil Plan!"
Hmm.
But this time, he obviously didn't get a response from Brother Asuma.
When Itachi lowered his head, he only saw Brother Asuma's deadpan face.
This moment.
Sarutobi Asuma is dead.
But he was pissed to death by Uchiha Itachi
But in Itachi's eyes, he passed away peacefully and calmly after bringing the news to him.
As it should be.
At this moment, he made the wrong choice again.
What Itachi didn't know was that Obito and Danzo, who were watching him from a distance, had fallen into silence.
They admitted that Obito and Danzo, who were originally thinking about how to throw dirty water on Uchiha and bring Itachi over to their side, became confused at this moment.
"This is a talent."
Obito commented.
"Well, he was born to be a villain!"
Danzo nodded slightly.
