Fugaku Uchiha was amazed by Uchiha Kakuzan's medical skills. He had thought that after the eye transplant, he would have to wear bandages on his eyes for a few days, but he didn't expect that he could use them directly.
After replacing his eyes, Fugaku Uchiha looked with some emotion at his former eyes, which were now in a glass bottle soaking in a clear liquid, before sealing them back into the scroll.
After finishing wrapping the scroll, Fugaku Uchiha casually tossed it in his hand and threw it toward Uchiha Okayama, who was standing to the side.
When Uchiha Kakuzan saw that Uchiha Fugaku had tossed the scroll to him, he casually caught it and frowned, asking:
"What does Chief Fugaku mean? Although the Mangekyou Sharingan is extremely rare, I don't need your pair of Mangekyou Sharingan."
Fugaku Uchiha shook his head and said, "Kyuu-kun, you misunderstand. I'm not giving you my Sharingan, but handing it over to the clan. I want it to become part of the Uchiha clan's heritage, and that way, I'll feel less guilty."
Uchiha Kakuzan frowned slightly upon hearing Uchiha Fugaku's words: "What does Clan Head Fugaku mean?"
Fugaku Uchiha looked at him and said, "Kyuu-kun, do you still remember what you said to me when you came to my house? It was about the future of the Uchiha clan?"
Uchiha Kakuzan nodded calmly. Although he knew that his predictions were lies to Uchiha Fugaku, and that what he said about the future was true, he wasn't afraid of being exposed by Uchiha Fugaku.
Fugaku Uchiha continued, "After you told me fragments of the future, I sensed something was wrong. In the future, when the Uchiha clan was wiped out, I, as the head of the Uchiha clan, did not stand up to resist, or rather, did not stop the enemy."
"But you also know about my Mangekyou Sharingan's eye technique—Izanagi. It's an eye technique that can be said to be able to change cause and effect. With this eye technique, it's impossible for me to be successfully ambushed by the enemy."
"So there's only one possibility: I didn't resist. And the only things that could make me not resist are my family members, either becoming enemies or hostages."
"It was only later, when Itachi Uchiha successfully awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, that I finally understood everything."
Fugaku Uchiha paused here, looking directly at Okayama Uchiha: "The reason I can't resist is probably because, in the future, the one standing against me is Itachi, right?"
Chapter 199 Continuing the Errand Run
Chapter 199 Continuing the Errands
Uchiha Kakuzan fell silent upon hearing Uchiha Fugaku's words.
He hadn't expected that even though he had hidden the truth to avoid upsetting Mikoto, Fugaku Uchiha still managed to figure it out through various clues.
When Fugaku Uchiha saw that Uchiha Kagami had fallen silent, he knew that he had guessed correctly, and the light in his eyes dimmed.
"Looks like it really is Itachi."
Uchiha Fugaku said leisurely
"It's still my fault. I let Itachi have too much contact with the Third Hokage and was influenced by him."
"Itachi has been different from other children since he was a child. He is not only talented in training, but also has an extraordinary way of thinking."
"I was secretly pleased, thinking it was a good thing, that when Itachi grew up, he would be able to lead the clan to a better life."
"Now it seems that his thoughts have strayed from the Uchiha clan, and his heart is no longer with the clan."
After saying that, Fugaku Uchiha let out another deep sigh.
Uchiha Kakuzan looked at Uchiha Fugaku, who was standing there dejectedly, shook his head, and said:
"Clan Chief Fugaku, don't worry. Itachi hasn't gone that far astray yet. I estimate that Itachi's thinking only became so extreme after Shisui died."
"Now that our Uchiha clan has separated from Konoha, and Itachi will no longer have contact with the Third Hokage and the others, there should still be a chance to save us."
Fugaku Uchiha agreed with what Okayama Uchiha said and nodded in agreement.
"Then I'll trouble Clan Chief Qiu to keep an eye on him from now on. Also, I don't want to give my Mangekyou Sharingan to Itachi. Otherwise, I'm afraid he'll go further and further down the wrong path and cause irreparable damage to our Uchiha clan."
Uchiha Kakuyama nodded, indicating that he understood. After all, Uchiha Fugaku had been the clan head for so many years and he cared about the clan. Although as a father he couldn't be ruthless to his son, he still had to be responsible for the clan.
Uchiha Kakuzan said, "Clan Chief Fugaku, rest assured, your youngest son, Uchiha Sasuke, is also a genius. He will definitely awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan in the future. I will leave your eyes to him."
Just kidding. As the reincarnation of Indra, and the one destined to seal Kaguya Otsutsuki, how could he not awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan?
Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuyama's words, Fugaku Uchiha thought of his youngest son, and the features on his face softened somewhat.
"Speaking of which, you are Sasuke's teacher. I won't be in the clan anymore, so I'll trouble you, as his teacher, to educate Sasuke and prevent him from following Itachi's path. Even if he doesn't become a great person, he should still become a person with flesh and blood."
Uchiha Kakuzan nodded in agreement, then asked with some curiosity.
"What are the plans of Clan Chief Fugaku for the future?"
Fugaku Uchiha gave Okayama a complicated look and said...
"I still have a task you gave me. I'll go to Kumogakure first to complete it. If you don't have anything else, I'll go to the old site of our Uchiha clan before we joined Konoha to pay my respects to our ancestors."
"I'll stay there for a while. If you need anything, you can notify me through the spatial imprint. If not, I'll go and travel around the ninja world."
"Being the head of the Uchiha clan is both a responsibility and a constraint. Since I became the head of the Uchiha clan, I haven't had time to go out and see the world. Now that I'm passing the position to you, and with the Grand Elder to assist you, I can finally go out and see the world with peace of mind."
Upon hearing Uchiha Fugaku's words, Uchiha Kakuzan seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but say:
"Chief Fugaku, when you have time, you can go out to sea and visit the Land of Water. The Land of Water is overseas, isolated by the sea. The customs and culture there should be different from those on land. It should be a good place to visit."
Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words, Uchiha Fugaku seemed momentarily speechless, gave Uchiha Kakuzan a deep look, and said:
"After Kumogakure in the Land of Lightning, it's Kirigakure in the Land of Water, right? Okay, the Land of Lightning is also the closest to the Land of Water, so I'll just go there directly then."
Uchiha Kazuyama felt a little embarrassed by Uchiha Fugaku's gaze, scratched his head, and looked away from him.
"Chief Fugaku has just had his eyes replaced, so he should get some rest. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."
"I wonder when Chief Fugaku plans to leave. Let me know when that happens, so I can see you off."
Fugaku Uchiha thought for a moment and said, "Three days from now. Once I've sorted things out in the clan, I'll head to the Land of Lightning."
Uchiha Kakuzan nodded to indicate that he understood, and said, "Then Clan Chief Fugaku should rest first. I'll come and see you off later."
Fugaku Uchiha watched as Uchiha Okayama prepared to get up and leave, pursed his lips, and couldn't help but say, "Okayama-kun, please take good care of Sasuke in the future, don't let him go astray, and also, be good to Mikoto."
Uchiha Kakuyama paused, then nodded seriously to Uchiha Fugaku who was looking at him. "Don't worry, I will take good care of Mikoto and Sasuke."
After bidding farewell to Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Kakuyama immediately used his eye technique, Takamagahara, to enter the space.
Uchiha Kakuzan teleported directly to the villa he had prepared for Mikoto. He didn't summon Mikoto directly, but instead made the spatial mark on Mikoto vibrate twice before patiently waiting on the villa's rooftop.
Uchiha Kakuzan didn't have to wait long. After only a short while, Mikoto activated the spatial mark and came to Uchiha Kakuzan's side.
Uchiha Kakuzan looked at Mikoto standing in front of him, said nothing, and simply hugged her in his arms.
Mikoto sensed that Uchiha Kakuzan was emotionally agitated, so she gently hugged him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Uchiha Kakuzan didn't answer, but instead asked, "How's Mikoto-nee doing lately? Is the child naughty? How's Sasuke doing?"
Upon hearing Uchiha Okayama's words, Uchiha Mikoto gently touched her already protruding belly and softly said:
"The kid's quite active, you should spend more time with him if you have the chance. Sasuke got first place in his class again today and bragged about it to me all night, haha, he's just a kid. I'm doing pretty well lately too. Although we haven't moved to Whirlpool Island yet because of Sasuke's school, things are fine."
"Also, Lady Tsunade came to my house today and even looked at our child."
Chapter 200 Slug Immortal
Chapter 200 Slug Immortal
Uchiha Mikoto, being held by Uchiha Okayama, said, "Okayama-kun, Lady Tsunade came to visit me today and even checked on our child."
Upon hearing Mikoto's words, Uchiha Kakuyama kissed her cheek. "I invited Lady Tsunade. She is a medical expert. Letting her take a look at you and the child will put my mind at ease."
After hearing what Uchiha Kazuyama said, Uchiha Mikoto finally understood why Tsunade had come to see her. She was deeply moved, and her gentle expression deepened. She nestled in Uchiha Kazuyama's arms and quietly gazed at the distant seascape.
Uchiha Kakuzan held Mikoto and looked at the scenery for a while, then suddenly remembered something.
"Sister Mikoto".
"Ok?"
"Tonight, our Uchiha clan is holding a gathering on Uzushima Island."
"Ok, I know."
"I have been elected as the clan chief."
Upon hearing Uchiha Kazuyama's words, Uchiha Mikoto paused for a moment, then quickly looked up at him with delighted surprise, her eyes sparkling with a captivating light.
"Really?"
Seeing Mikoto's delighted expression, Uchiha Kakuzan couldn't resist kissing her forehead.
"Yes, it was the Fugaku clan chief and the elder who pushed for it. During the gathering, the Fugaku clan chief voluntarily stepped down and gave way to a more capable person. The elder also agreed and put me in the position of clan chief."
Uchiha Mikoto looked at Uchiha Kyuuyama with delight, cupping his face in her hands: "I never imagined my Kyuuyama-kun would be so amazing, he's even become the clan leader."
"I was also surprised. I thought that Chief Fugaku would pass the position of chief to Itachi."
Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words, Mikoto frowned slightly and said with some worry.
"Although Itachi is a very smart child, he doesn't get along well with the clan members. Moreover, given his personality and ability to handle affairs, he is not suitable to be the clan leader."
Then, Mikoto turned her gaze to Uchiha Kazuyama, straightened his collar, and said with a relaxed expression, "Besides, the position of clan leader isn't hereditary. With Kazuyama-kun's contributions to the Uchiha clan and your strength, it's only right that you become the clan leader. So, Kazuyama-kun, don't underestimate yourself. In my opinion, you're the best. With your abilities, you're more than qualified to be the Hokage, let alone the clan leader."
Looking at the somewhat adorable Mikoto, Uchiha Kakuyama smiled slightly and didn't refute her, but simply tightened his grip on her.
It was already past midnight when she parted ways with Mikoto. After all, she still had little Sasuke to take care of, and she was also pregnant, so it wasn't appropriate for her to stay up too late.
After sending Mikoto back, Uchiha Kakuzan did not return to his spatial dimension. Instead, he said goodbye to Mikoto and went to his home in Konoha Village.
Of course, although it's called home, Uchiha Okayama hasn't lived here for a long time.
After arriving at the house, Uchiha Kakuyama glanced around at the clean and tidy room and knew that Mikoto had instructed the maid to clean it.
Uchiha Kakuyama looked at the familiar furnishings in the room, recalled the three years he had lived here, breathed a sigh of relief, and then got down to business.
Uchiha Kakuzan went to an open space in the room, and reversed the hand seals according to the order of the summoning jutsu. With a bang, Uchiha Kakuzan disappeared from the room.
Shikkotsu Forest is one of the three sacred sites for summoning beasts in the ninja world, and also the most mysterious one.
The slugs in Shikkotsu Forest are all clones of the Shikkotsu Forest Slug Sage. This shows how powerful the Slug Sage is. The Slug Sage can be said to have single-handedly become one of the three holy sites for summoning beasts.
Uchiha Kakuzan used the Reverse Summoning Technique in order to come to Shikkotsu Forest and learn the Sage Techniques belonging to Shikkotsu Forest.
When Uchiha Kakuzan opened his eyes, he found himself in an unfamiliar place.
This is a very strange place, surrounded by towering trees that have been growing for who knows how many years. The air in this forest is very humid, like being in a damp cave, but the air is very fresh.
In Uchiha Kakuzan's perception, the air in this Shikkotsu Forest seemed to be filled with a kind of energy. This energy was basically imperceptible to Uchiha Kakuzan in the outside world, or rather, it didn't exist at all. But in Shikkotsu Forest, it was full of it. Uchiha Kakuzan took a deep breath and felt comfortable all over.
Just then, as if sensing Uchiha Kagami's arrival, many slugs of all sizes crawled towards him from the forest.
One of the larger slugs crawled up to Uchiha Kakuyama and said in a cute little girl's voice, "Lord Uchiha Kakuyama, you've finally arrived."
Uchiha Kakuzan looked at the slug in front of him: "Sorry, I've been quite busy lately and only now have some free time. I've kept the Slug Sage waiting."
Slug shook her head: "This little bit of time is really nothing to me. It's just that since I learned that Lord Uchiha Kakuzan was coming to Shikkotsu Forest to practice Sage Mode, I've been looking forward to your arrival. As you know, I'm all alone in Shikkotsu Forest, and I'm always happy when someone comes to visit."
Uchiha Kakuzan understood what the slug meant when she heard its words, so she talked to it and followed its guidance towards the center of Shikkotsu Forest.
