Seeing Mikoto's sudden excitement, Yuzuru knew when to stop.
" Mikoto, you can start working normally tomorrow."
Seeing Yuzuru suddenly become serious, Mikoto's expression froze. She really wanted to stomp on Yuzuru's face right now.
I've never found this person so annoying before!
He flirted with them and then ignored it. There were still over four hours until Itachi and Sasuke got off work and school, and this guy...
Before she knew it, Mikoto had puffed out her cheeks and was staring at Yuzuru.
"What's wrong?"
Yuzuru was somewhat surprised to see Mikoto display such an expression that was out of character.
"Never mind, it's nothing."
Mikoto, though momentarily enraged, ultimately chose to swallow her anger.
"I thought you were worried about being laid off. Don't worry, at least for now, the secretary position still needs you."
"I'm not worried about that kind of thing."
Mikoto said something in a low voice.
"By the way, regarding Itachi's illness, thank you so much, Lady Tsunade."
"Oh, you're welcome. Besides, Itachi made a significant contribution to medicine, after all, he was the first person in the Uchiha Clan to have Kekkei Genkai Disease."
Yuzuru joked.
Hearing this, Mikoto rolled her eyes at him.
"That child was instilled with a distorted understanding from a young age, his mind filled with nothing but maneuvering between the Uchiha and Konoha. He was even taken to the battlefield by Fugaku at the age of four. If you hadn't asked Shisui to look after him, Itachi's understanding might have been completely warped."
"Yes, that's true. That old Fugaku endured his whole life and still wanted to send his most talented son away. I really can't stand him. Whether as a husband, a father, or a clan leader, he's disgustingly incompetent."
Hearing Yuzuru belittle Fugaku to his face, Mikoto's lips moved slightly, but in the end she said nothing.
Indeed, the annihilation of the Uchiha in Konoha was ultimately due to Fugaku's own actions.
He suppressed and secretly executed the radical faction within the clan, leaving only a group of brainwashed Uchiha who deserved to be wiped out.
Konoha was targeting him so obviously, yet the clan leader showed absolutely no backbone. First, he was forced to relocate from the clan's territory, and later he was completely unable to integrate into the upper echelons, his status even lower than a dog's.
If Yuzuru hadn't taken some of the Uchiha clan members with him, there wouldn't be any Uchiha left in the Shinobi World today. They would all be extinct and impossible to find.
Moreover, in the original story, Itachi was also harmed by Fugaku.
Imagine you are a precocious boy who is only three years old and has shown amazing talent.
As a result, your father seemed to have found a tool and began to brainwash you under high pressure every day, talking about the fragile relationship between the Uchiha and Konoha, teaching you how to integrate into another group that completely looked down on you, and how to compromise and submit.
Being taken to the battlefield at the age of four and witnessing the cruelty of war is a testament to a child's resilience; it would be remarkable if he didn't suffer a mental breakdown.
As a result, Itachi was completely spoiled and brainwashed by the combined ideas of the Hokage and Fugaku, fulfilling their expectations until the night of the massacre.
Fugaku, the scoundrel, had his own children brainwashed and turned into tools, yet they didn't resist at all. So, while his two children survived and he had offspring, what about the others?
If Obito's soul and nature were pure scum, with kindness merely a facade and his true nature being pure evil, then Itachi was simply ruined by brainwashing and indoctrination from a young age.
Compared to him, he's not even as good as Obito, that orphan.
At least Obito didn't have a father like Fugaku, who constantly subjected him to high-pressure brainwashing. He witnessed the cruelty of war at the age of four and saw people die in front of him.
As for why Obito turned evil, it was indeed related to Madara's scheming, but more importantly, Obito himself was an evil person, he just disguised it well.
How can someone who lost loved ones in the war, yet took his anger out on Minato, and even cruelly harmed Kushina without the slightest hesitation, be changed?
The answer is that it cannot be changed; only death awaits!
Itachi killing his family is indeed despicable, but ultimately it was because of Fugaku, that incompetent good-for-nothing.
If Obito had experienced what Itachi went through, he would probably have already suffered a mental breakdown and would have taken even more cruel revenge on everyone, whether it was brainwashing his father or caring for his mother. He would probably have even been jealous of why Sasuke didn't have to go through all of this, and thus killed Sasuke.
Conversely, if Itachi were in Obito's situation, he wouldn't hold a grudge against Minato, because he knew that anyone could die in war, for whatever reason.
This is the fundamental difference between the two.
The fact that Obito could be brainwashed by a moron like Hashirama, whose brain is only the size of a walnut, shows Obito.
Madara's ability to orchestrate events is unmatched by anyone else, unlike Obito's.
Because that was war!
Everyone knows the cruelty of war, but Obito, just doesn't understand it.
He could easily kill enemy ninjas and took it for granted, but he couldn't accept the death of his beloved on the battlefield.
This kind of person is fundamentally rotten; there's no way to cleanse them of their flaws.
This is why Yuzuru had high hopes for Shisui and Itachi, but felt nothing but disgust and murderous intent towards Obito.
Itachi's problem stemmed from flawed upbringing and education, which shaped his beliefs. He sacrificed everything, including his life, for those distorted beliefs, even though they were wrong.
Or rather, after more than a decade of intense brainwashing, Itachi has lost the ability to distinguish right from wrong and has become numb. Only his love for his younger brother makes him feel alive.
Obito, on the other hand, was simply a bad seed.
He unconditionally enjoyed the love and care of Minato and Kushina, but ultimately repaid them in the most cruel way.
In the original story, Naruto was incredibly lucky to survive. Obito, that bastard, even tried to kill Minato and Kushina's only child, and the two of them fought tooth and nail to protect Naruto.
Thinking of this, Yuzuru couldn't wait to kill Obito.
But killing him like this would be too easy for him.
Kakashi and Rin are together and will be getting married soon.
What could be more agonizing for Obito than being told that this was Rin and Kakashi's child?
All I see is Rin? What a joke! Rin wouldn't even look at trash like Obito.
It involves both mental and physical torture.
Since he wants to become stronger and dream of unlocking the Infinite Tsukuyomi, let him go. Whether it's Madara or Obito, everything they did was to help the Ten-Tails recover better.
When the time comes, if the Ten-Tails absorbs their Chakra, the effect will only be better than if the Nine-Tails were intact.
Under Mikoto's resentful gaze, Yuzuru left her house and headed towards the hospital.
He hasn't seen Teacher Tsunade in a long time; he misses her terribly.
Upon arriving at the hospital, he went straight to Lin and asked:
"Lin, where's the teacher?"
" Lady Tsunade is in the analysis room on the third floor of the building next door."
Lin answered immediately.
"Okay, I understand."
With a wave of his hand, Yuzuru immediately left and went to find Tsunade in the analysis room.
Without disturbing Tsunade was engrossed in her work, Yuzuru stood behind her, silently watching her.
To be fair, Tsunade is undeniably captivating when she gets serious, especially in her area of expertise.
