Konoha: We, the Uchiha, are ready to give up!

He couldn't quite understand it.

Why ask your teacher about the relationship between the Uchiha clan and the village?

Do I have to come back and tell my father?

It's one thing if you're young and don't understand, but your father is the clan chief, how could he not even know something like this?

Although Itachi is young, he is quite intelligent.

Almost instantly, he understood.

His face darkened.

His lips twitched violently, and the look in his eyes as he gazed at Fugaku was incredibly complex.

only.

Although I understood what was going on, I couldn't bring myself to say it.

After all, the person in front of him was his own father.

But he didn't understand.

How can a father who doesn't even know this kind of thing really handle the relationship between the clan and the village?

Hey!

He sighed helplessly, but still nodded and spoke.

"Ok, I see."

"I will find out the truth as soon as possible, Father, please don't worry."

Fugaku nodded.

Although his brain wasn't working very well, he could clearly still see through Itachi's complicated expression.

His cheeks were slightly flushed.

But there was nothing we could do!

As a traditional Uchiha, he's just not good at using his brain. (670)

Otherwise, how could the clan and village have become like this?

"Okay, just remember that." Fugaku said in a low voice, "Go back and rest early."

Itachi nodded.

He had no interest in talking to his father either. After what happened today, he felt that his father was not as good as himself.

I doubt my father could offer any advice on the questions I've been pondering.

So, forget it!

You should go back and think about it slowly.

After Itachi turned and left the study, he rubbed his temples in exasperation.

It's no wonder he was in a bad mood after being looked down upon by his own son.

There's just nothing we can do about it.

Thinking about such complex problems is really not his forte.

"Fugaku, what's wrong?" Mikoto walked in. "You chatted with your son for a while, why do you still look so upset?"

"What exactly did you two talk about?"

After seeing Itachi off to rest, Mikoto, who had just entered the study, saw her husband's appearance.

While finding it somewhat amusing, she still gently made him tea and then began to massage his shoulders.

She was indeed very curious.

What exactly were her husband and son talking about just now?

Fugaku is the head of a clan, so why does he look so melancholy?

"I've been looked down upon by your son." Fugaku said helplessly, "My fatherly authority is gone. How am I supposed to face Itachi now?"

He had a terrible headache.

You should know that he is a serious person, especially in front of his son Itachi, he always puts on this posture.

Now that he is looked down upon by his son, will he still be able to maintain his authority in the future?

of course.

Fugaku did not refuse to answer the question about his wife; instead, he gave a brief explanation.

"I see." Mikoto frowned slightly, then smiled broadly. "Actually, you should be happy!"

"Our Uchiha clan isn't known for its sharp minds, but now we have someone like Jin-kun who can use his brain, someone similar to the Nara clan. Isn't that something to be happy about?"

"With a teacher like this, no one will be able to fool Itachi in the future."

"A little bit of fatherly authority is utterly insignificant, isn't it?"

"Besides, I told you long ago, if you want to put on airs as the clan leader, go outside. Why put on airs with your children at home?"

"You two are father and son!"

"But that Jin-kun really doesn't seem like an Uchiha."

Upon hearing this, Fugaku nodded slowly.

Yes.

He had already discovered it long ago.

If it weren't for the fact that Uchiha Jin possessed the Sharingan, and the unique Mangekyou Sharingan at that, he would have truly believed that Jin was a member of the Nara clan, and that Jin's parents had switched babies when they were born in the hospital.

Since returning from the Hidden Mist battlefield, Uchiha Jin has stayed indoors and rarely ventured out. His lazy and unambitious demeanor, coupled with his insightful understanding that sees through the fog and gets straight to the heart of the matter, is typical of Nara.

But it's alright.

The appearance of the Mangekyou Sharingan made it impossible for anyone to question Uchiha Jin's identity.

Of course he can be completely at ease!

Taking a deep breath, Fugaku couldn't help but speak.

"Mikoto, there's something I need your help with."

"The position of police chief that Jin was given before was actually more of a nominal one."

“But since Jin has the ability, I want him to actually take up the post.”

"With his wisdom, which is no less than Nara's, he will definitely be able to handle the problems of the village, the villagers, and the Uchiha."

"But I'm also afraid that the other tribesmen won't agree."

What do you think?

Yes.

Although he had already made the decision to directly appoint Jin to the position, he hesitated to make a decision for a while due to concerns within the clan.

Thinking of this, he frowned.

"Fugaku, you're overthinking it," Mikoto said directly. "I don't think it's as complicated as you think."

"You must never forget one thing: Lord Jin is the only kaleidoscope in the clan."

"Are they really willing to offend an Uchiha with a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan over such a trivial matter?"

"Aren't you afraid that Jhin will make things difficult for them?"

"Not only do you not go out of your way to curry favor, but you also offend people over such a trivial matter?"

"How desperate could someone be?"

"Fugaku, you are actually very talented, but you are a bit indecisive."

"That's really not good!"

"You're the head of the Uchiha clan, at least show some of your domineering presence!"

Upon hearing this, Fugaku wore a bitter expression.

He was well aware of his indecisiveness.

But I really can't change it!

He didn't want to offend anyone and always wanted to find a solution that everyone could agree on.

But, things went against our wishes.

"Alright, I understand." Fugaku said helplessly, "I'll try my best to change from now on, I promise."

“Mikoto, your idea is excellent. It just so happens that the clan meeting is tomorrow night.”

"I will make the suggestion then."
