Chapter 23: Everyone is responsible for cracking down on filial sons
"Uchiha...Itachi!"

Hong looked at the person who came and her face darkened slightly.

Hong had heard Kazuki comment on this famous Uchiha genius... Between the Uchiha and Hokage factions, he was more inclined towards the Hokage.

Will he hurt Kazuki?

Yishu is very strong, and his opponent is also a famous Uchiha genius.

Red doesn't dare to gamble!

The root attack just now had already stretched Hong's nerves to the extreme.

"Don't be nervous, Red!"

Yishu gently patted Hong's shoulders, turned his head towards Itachi, and said with a grin, "How was today's performance? There's a fee for watching such a good show. When I transplant my eyes later, you will be the one to protect my safety."

He gently weighed the Sharingan in his hand, and his heart was burning with joy.

Even with system cheats!
Even if it is just that I am destined to possess the Eternal Eye.

At this moment, his heart was still excited.

Only with the Eternal Eye did he truly qualify to challenge those people.

As for Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others, Kazuki in his three-magatama period did not take them seriously.

Itachi stared at Kazuki with his eyes fixed on him and said coldly, "You said the same thing to Elder Setsuna?"

In the ward, Uchiha Setsuna's behavior was different from his usual self.

It would have been fine if it weren't for those who didn't understand Setsuna, but all of these core Uchiha figures had noticed something was wrong.

Ninjas are good at gathering intelligence.

Uchiha Itachi is no exception.

"Yes!" Yishu said with a smile, "I don't usually keep in touch with Elder Setsuna, but a few days ago, I told him that a big show was coming, and asked him to be prepared, and also remember to pay."

Itachi's face turned cold, and he said, "Uchiha Yishu, what exactly do you want to do?"

"Didn't you hear the conversation between me and Shisui?"

Itachi groaned, "I feel like you're hiding something from him."

Yishu smiled slightly and said, "So what do you think I've been hiding from him?"

"His life!"

After a brief silence, Itachi looked at him with a complicated expression and said, "You dug out his eyes to protect him, right?"

"Those eyes he has, those eyes of the other gods, will make him a target for everyone."

Although the timeline is approaching the night of the Uchiha clan's extermination, Uchiha Itachi at this moment is not as extreme as in the original work.

One reason is that Shisui, who should have died long ago, is still alive.

The existence of a tree is also a reason.

He subtly changed Itachi to a certain extent.

At the same time, he constantly undermined the prestige of Sarutobi Hiruzen and others, exposing their ugliness and causing Itachi to waver in his trust in them.

As long as Uchiha Itachi does not despair, he will not go to extremes when taking care of his filial son.

Look, how simple it is.

Just by plucking a string lightly, the fate of an entire clan could be changed.

If he went to extremes, Yishu would have no choice but to kill him.

Yishu never understood what kind of mentality it was to kill one's own parents for the sake of the village.
He couldn't understand.

"Ugh!"

Kazuki sighed deeply and said, "What a smart boy, Itachi. You really are worthy of being the one who has the thinking of a Hokage at the age of seven. Sarutobi Hiruzen made the right choice by choosing you as his successor."

"The great tree of Konoha is healthier with you!"

God damn it's healthier!
Hong burst out laughing.

Itachi's eye twitched, "When did the Hokage choose me as his successor?"

"Isn't it?" Yishu said in surprise: "Don't you have the thinking of a Hokage at the age of seven? At the age of seven, you can consider things from the perspective of a Hokage. If you train for another ten years, you will be able to reach the sky!"

"Even the sun bows before you."

Itachi: "..."

Can you speak well?

This makes me want to punch you.

Who will be eliminated?

"Brother Kazuki!" Itachi sighed and said, "Everyone knows that the Hokage will never pass the position to me, so why do you say that?" Kazuki was like a curious baby, saying, "Why can't the position be passed to you? Are you not loyal to Konoha? Impossible, I guess the Hokage also believes in your loyalty to Konoha."

"You have no ability? How is that possible? At the age of seven, you can see the world from the perspective of the Hokage."

"You are not strong enough? How is that possible? Not only are you one of Konoha's top geniuses, you are also well-known in the ninja world."

"Then why can't the position of Hokage be given to you?"

Itachi was silent.

After a long while, he said calmly: "Brother Yishu, let's talk about your transplant of the Sharingan."

"No, I want to know now why you can't become Hokage!"

Who is Yishu?
My favorite thing is to rub salt into the wound.

Even if there is nothing to do, you still have to find something to do, especially now.

At this moment, looking at Uchiha Itachi's depressed expression, there was no reason for him not to press on and pursue the victory.

"Let's talk about this today, why can't you become Hokage?"

"If you don't explain it clearly, my thoughts won't make sense."

Itachi was speechless.

If your thoughts are not clear, how can mine be clear?
Kazuki continued, "You were able to think from the perspective of the Hokage when you were seven years old. This was said by Sarutobi Hiruzen himself. This evaluation is quite high. Moreover, you are the only one in the entire Konoha who received this evaluation. Why can't you become the Hokage?"

Itachi stared at Kazuki.

After a while, he said helplessly: "Because of the family!"

"What happened to the family?"

...That's what I've been waiting for you to say!

Kazuki asked curiously, "Does the fact that the family is preparing for an armed coup affect you? But if the Hokage gives you the position, will the family still launch an armed coup? Or do you think that you will not be able to lead the family well after becoming the Hokage?"

"I'm not saying anything more than that. As long as you give the Hokage to Uchiha, even if you give Chief Fugaku a big fight on the spot during the Jonin meeting, he will smile and say yes."

Itachi was confused.

He stared at Yishu blankly.

What the hell!
That makes sense!

Yes!

The family was dissatisfied and prepared for a coup because the Uchiha were being suppressed and the Uchiha had never had their own Hokage.

This has led to many people in the family acting more and more extreme.

But, if I become Hokage...

Then isn't everything solved?

To put it bluntly, the conflict between the family and the village is about a Hokage.

If the village is willing to let Uchiha serve as Hokage, then the Uchiha will definitely not mind making concessions in many aspects.

Including the Konoha Police Force.

Even a lot of resources will do.

Looking at the dazed Itachi, Kazuki smiled with satisfaction.

Itachi is a very smart kid, he can understand things very quickly since he was young.

Many things don't need to be explained too clearly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said to Itachi, you can see things from the perspective of the Hokage when you are only seven years old.

This is actually a form of brainwashing!
Children in the ninja world mature precociously, and for a seven-year-old Itachi, it is an important time to shape his life values.

Fugaku is an idiot, just throw him to the battlefield.

Regarding this, Yishu wanted to say: You deserve to be hacked to death!

I just feel sorry for my Mikoto!

You are still alive, I am not old...

Sarutobi Hiruzen is really amazing. He said those words of the seven-year-old Hokage. Think about it, think about it carefully!

Grass!
Yishu imagined that if he was fooled like this when he was seven years old, he would have to put aside the saying "a gentleman will die for his friend".

Lord Third Hokage, I will kowtow to you first. I will die whenever you want me to.

When the blood is boiling, no one can help.
