In the eastern sky, a fiery red cloud showed its splendor.
Uchiha Fugaku, who had figured out the situation overnight, was smiling brightly and shaking hands with Hizashi Hyuga to express his welcome.
"From today on, Hyuga Branch House has officially settled in the Uchiha Clan. Please take care of Fugaku and be tolerant."
Hearing this, Fugaku smiled from ear to ear. Since the establishment of Konoha, Uchiha Clan can be said to be alone with very few allies.
Of course, this is inseparable from the Uchiha Clan's consistent behavior.
Now, Uchiha Clan has finally welcomed his first ally inside Konoha, half of the Hyuga Clan, and Konoha, who also owns Kekkei Genkai.
Although such actions are bound to arouse Konoha High Command's dissatisfaction, how could Uchiha, who had already been driven out of the village's power center, care about Konoha High Command's attitude.
No, the members of Konoha Military Police Force enthusiastically provided help to Hyuga Branch House, but they were also treated unfairly by the village. Uchiha Clan was very sympathetic to Hyuga Branch House's experience.
However, there are also a small number of Uchiha who look at Hyuga Branch House with mocking eyes, and all they want in their minds is to regard Hyuga Branch House as a subsidiary of the Uchiha Clan.
When the sun fully rose, Fugaku's home was as usual, with the gentle Mikoto serving tea, quietly picking up the three-year-old Sasuke and leaving, Fugaku was the first to speak.
"I have always been worried about whether Uchiha, who is surrounded by three Konoha clans such as Yamanaka, Nara, and Akimichi, will one day be targeted by the village."
"Now, with Hyuga Branch House's great help, Uchiha will not be left alone. I am really grateful."
Fugaku gave a slight salute, but Huayue, who was sitting opposite, remained silent. He just looked at the cup of rich green tea in front of him silently, and after a long time he spoke back.
"Some people in Uchiha are looking at something wrong. The way they look at Hyuga Branch House... I usually ask those guys to put their little thoughts aside, otherwise they will just push their allies away for no reason."
Huayue's words immediately made Fugaku wary. Uchiha Clan was used to being arrogant and domineering on weekdays, so they couldn't be allowed to cause trouble at this juncture.
"I understand. I am asking you this time mainly for the purpose of selecting the next leader of the Uchiha Clan. I think..."
Before he finished speaking, Fugaku saw Huayue reaching out to tell him not to say any more.
"Long time no see. I heard that you skipped a grade and graduated from the Ninja Academy. I originally wanted to see it with my own eyes, but I didn't expect that you would come back from completing your mission and bring a pair of eyes with great potential, Itachi."
The door opened, and Uchiha Itachi, who was only eight years old, stepped inside. In the eyes of the orangutan Red Eye, two Tomoe rotated slightly.
"Itachi, have you turned on Sharingan?"
Fugaku's face flashed with joy. Unexpectedly, Itachi had already opened his eyes. Why hadn't he heard it mentioned before?
"Father, Lord Huayue, I'm back."
"Congratulations, my eyes are right. You are a talented being. Maybe one day, you can also activate the pupil technique that is superior to Sharingan."
"As for Fugaku, the things you mentioned before are over. Hyuga Branch House still needs my help in some matters. Goodbye."
Smiling at Itachi, Huayue turned and left, with a mere R card, less than half a point of my Full Eye Technique collection.
When Huayue left, Fugaku, who looked proud of his child, was talking loudly, completely unaware of the trace of disgust flickering in Itachi's eyes.
'Why? Why can he still smile so happily? In order to get these eyes, he...'
Little Sasuke in Mikoto's arms seemed to feel Itachi's breath, with a small face full of smiles, and ran towards Itachi excitedly.
"Brother!"
Looking at the joyful scene in front of him, Mikoto also had a smile on his face, thinking about what kind of meal he should prepare tonight.
Meanwhile, Konoha, Hokage's Office.
"Sandaime-sama, are you looking for me?"
Uzuki Yugao sounded confused, and even if he couldn't see clearly the expression behind the mask, he could still detect the fluctuations in his emotions.
"Yugao, please sit down."
Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled kindly, as if the person in front of him was not Third Hokage, but just an old man who was kind to others.
"I heard that you have a close relationship with Uchiha Huayue?"
"Yes, Master Third Hokage, I wonder if there is anything I need to do."
Uzuki Yugao was surprised in his heart, but he answered honestly. After all, he was once a member of the three-person team led by Orochimaru. There was nothing to hide about this.
"Young people's free love is worth encouraging. I didn't want to interfere, but Uchiha Huayue's behavior has been a bit weird recently. If there is any important information, be sure to inform Anbu immediately."
"Of course, old man, I also want to see the new generation that can inherit Will of Fire earlier, hahahaha..."
If it weren't for the mask, Yugao would have been so embarrassed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to burrow into. Fortunately, Third Hokage asked her to leave immediately, otherwise I don't know how embarrassed she would have been.
After Uzuki Yugao left, Mitaraishi Anko hurried over and left with a strange expression after chatting for a while. The same situation happened again with Yuhi Kurenai.
Until Hong, who usually has a strong personality and a heroic spirit among girls, ran out with a shy face, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed deeply and was not even in the mood to practice calligraphy.
At such a young age, he still has to put up an old face for such things, just so that this scourge can cause less trouble to the village and create more people. When did he Third Hokage fall to this level?
"When they have a child, parents will try their best to put their hearts on the child, hoping that the guy will cause less trouble to the village and wait quietly until the next generation of buds will grow up."
In the crystal ball on the side, Little Naruto was continuously practicing with weight. Even Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't notice the chakra condensed on the soles of Little Naruto's feet.
"If Naruto can grow to the level of Minato, the burden on me will be much lighter. It would be great if he could inherit his father's talent."
No one can understand Sarutobi Hiruzen's emotions, and now there is Shimura Danzō who has the same mentality as him, hiding in the secret.
"One in sixty, one in sixty probability, there is an existence equivalent to Uchiha Madara. As an inheritor of First Hokage cells, can you only do this?"
Outside Konoha, in an unknown corner, Danzo looked at the lifeless dead wood in front of him. He couldn't help but lower his head and think, what is the difference between the young man in front of him and Master First Hokage?
"Is it a matter of age? Maybe it will be different when you grow up. This is Master First Hokage's Wood Release. Only you can practice it. Work hard, A."
The man with brown hair and white nails nodded gently, and Danzo turned around with cold eyes.
"Wait, Uchiha brat, Konoha is not Uchiha's Konoha, wait until A grows up, and see the legend of the great defeat of Ban in the past!"
