JST Chapter 66: Uzumaki Mito’s Call
🕑 Added 2024-10-07 22:37:14 +0000 UTCJust as the Uchiha around Kazuki prepared to leave together, a man slowly emerged from the shadows, watching Kazuki with a sharp gaze.
"A meeting? May I join?" The man said in a calm voice.
This man is the current patriarch of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Fugaku.
Uchiha Yashiro narrowed his eyes, quietly blocked in front of Kazuki, and squeezed out a smile. "Patriarch Fugaku, eavesdropping on other people's conversations is not a good habit..."
Uchiha Fugaku snorted coldly. "I'm just passing by, and you are too noisy!"
Uchiha Fugaku looked at Kazuki across the crowd, with mixed feelings in his heart.
As the clan leader, he wanted Kazuki to be connected with the Konoha high-level officials, but he didn't want to be bypassed. Uchiha Fugaku also wanted to participate in the high-level decision-making...
After all, he was the clan leader of the Uchiha clan!
Why didn't the clan members report their actions to him as the clan leader?
Otherwise, what was the point of him being the clan leader? He couldn't even grasp the direction of the clan...
Uchiha Fugaku didn't like the feeling that his power was not solid enough and was gradually slipping away.
He didn't have any substantial dislike for Kazuki, but Kazuki's existence touched his interests, which was enough to make Uchiha Fugaku alert.
Kazuki glanced at Uchiha Fugaku. He didn't have a good impression of this man...
What else can a clan leader say when he lets his son slaughter his clan members without taking action?
Those who trusted him, who followed him, did they do so only to end up being killed by Itachi?
That indecision, that changing nature… was difficult to tolerate.
Just as Kazuki was about to open his mouth to confront Fugaku, Tsunade appeared running with the force of a storm, completely ignoring the surprise of the Uchiha around her.
Uchiha Yashiro blinked.
What were the clan guards doing? Did they just let an outsider in?
"Kazuki, follow me, someone wants to see you!"
Ignoring Kazuki's disapproving look, Tsunade forcefully ruffled his black hair and inspected it from top to bottom.
"You're fine like this, there's no need to change."
"Tsunade, I, the clan leader, have something important to discuss with Kazuki. It would be better if it were another time."
Uchiha Fugaku said with a stern face: "Our Uchiha clan will hold a clan meeting tonight."
Tsunade sneered and turned back, looking at Uchiha Fugaku.
She was not familiar with this person, but in just a moment, Tsunade also understood what Uchiha Fugaku wanted to do.
This is to show Kazuki his power!
"Uchiha Fugaku, do you know who wants to see Kazuki?" Tsunade sneered and looked at Uchiha Fugaku with a playful look, with a very straightforward provocation in her eyes.
Uchiha Fugaku looked around at his clan members, and his heart sank.
Although he was reluctant to offend Tsunade, if he retreated at this time, his prestige as the clan leader would be ruined.
"No matter who it is, Uchiha Kazuki is from the Uchiha clan, and it is necessary to attend the clan meeting!"
Uchiha Fugaku waved his hand majestically. "Don't Tsunade-sama, who was born in the Senju clan, understand this truth?"
"Oh, it's my grandmother Uzumaki Mito who wants to see Kazuki."
Tsunade looked at Uchiha Fugaku's instantly stiff smile, and said with a smile: "Clan leader Fugaku, do you agree?"
Uchiha Fugaku froze in place.
Even if it was Sarutobi Hiruzen! Uchiha Fugaku could find a way to argue a few words, so as not to make the scene so ugly.
But if it was Uzumaki Mito, Uchiha Fugaku didn't even want to argue.
Uchiha Fugaku awkwardly forced out a smile and quickly turned and left.
He wanted to snort but swallowed it back when it reached his throat.
"Excuse me everyone, there is an important matter I have to attend to..." Kazuki said, with the same kind expression as always. "I'm leaving now senpai, but if you ever need anything, don't hesitate to look for me at home."
The Uchiha nodded repeatedly.
They knew that Kazuki might be saying polite words at this moment, but after Tsunade mentioned Uzumaki Mito, it sounded more pleasant.
Look at Kazuki, gentle and polite, not arrogant or impatient!
Looking back at Uchiha Fugaku, it can only be said that it is not easy to evaluate him…
Uchiha Yashiro stared at Kazuki's back and laughed.
His uncle gently pushed him and whispered: "Tell your second uncle, how come Kazuki has such a good relationship with Tsunade and can also get in touch with Uzumaki Mito?"
Although Uchiha Yashiro knew nothing, he waved his hand mysteriously. "This matter... is very complicated, there are many things in the dark and the interests involved are complicated."
"Anyway, if you want to know more about Kazuki, you can come and chat with me, we have a good relationship."
The Uchiha looked into the distance, watching Kazuki walking next to Tsunade, chatting and laughing.
Looking at Uchiha Yashiro standing with his hands behind his back, everyone was jealous for a moment, and everyone who knew the inside story cursed in their minds: 'Damn it, let Uchiha Yashiro pretend!'
'How can this kid be so lucky? The old man Setsuna is really damned. Why didn't he let me get beaten at that time!'
And in Kazuki's body.
Senju Tobirama said in a deep voice: "Kazuki, accept my power, this matter is not simple!"
"What's wrong, Tobirama..."
Although Kazuki had a vague understanding, he still said in a puzzled tone: "You're not telling me to fight her using your power, are you?"
"Aside from the fact that she's already an old lady, do you really think I could beat her? How could a brother-in-law like you ask me for something like that?"
"Little boy, calm down!"
"Huh? As expected, you can't beat her, hehe..."
Kazuki raised his eyebrows and whistled funny.
"Who told you that?! Although it's true that my sister-in-law's sensory ninjutsu and Adamantine Sealing Chains are difficult to deal with, and her amount of chakra is incredible, with my Flying Thunder God Technique and using all my forbidden techniques, it's not like I don't have a chance!"
Senju Tobirama was very stubborn. "As for Nine-Tails, Nine-Tails... Well, I won't lose anyway, I have the Flying Thunder God Technique!"
Kazuki tutted.
Senju Tobirama suddenly came to his senses and rolled his eyes in annoyance...
Not only did this kid start talking nonsense again, but even his wise and calm thinking was led astray, and he began to argue with Kazuki about who was stronger between him and Uzumaki Mito...
In fact, Senju Tobirama had always thought that this kind of question was very childish. What adult would argue about this?!
However, arguing with Kazuki was somehow quite entertaining for him.
"Kazuki, this is a very serious matter, which is related to your future development in Konoha!"
Solving his strange mood, Senju Tobirama said seriously: "I know what my sister-in-law wants to do... Her perception ability combined with the power of the Nine-Tails can identify the good and evil in a person's heart and can also analyze emotions and even character from chakra!"
Kazuki listened carefully in silence and stopped making jokes.
What Senju Tobirama said was probably the Mind's Eye of the Kagura, the strongest perception ninjutsu in the shinobi world, which comes from the characteristic lineage of the Uzumaki clan.
Moreover, Uzumaki Mito can also control the Nine-Tails' ability to perceive good and evil!
"During my tenure, I always asked my sister-in-law to use her skills to evaluate selected higher-ups, weed out potential traitors, and conduct periodic spy clean-ups within the village…" Tobirama explained matter-of-factly, showing how familiar he was with Mito's abilities. He had used that power to perfection, applying it to all aspects of life in Konoha.
"Tobirama, you use ninjutsu to check people's hearts? Doesn't the Will of Fire say that we should trust our companions..."
Kazuki seemed to have discovered a blind spot and said in surprise: "Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo and others, have you let Uzumaki Mito test them a long time ago..."
"So, in fact, the successor to Hokage has been decided a long time ago, right?"
To Kazuki's surprise, Senju Tobirama did not deny it, but simply admitted it. "You are right, Kazuki, not only Monkey and others, but also the ninjas in the ANBU, I asked my sister-in-law to take action."
"Kid, the Will of Fire is just the content in the book, and in order to make the village run more stably, any means can be used as long as necessary."
"Remember, Kazuki, this is also part of the Will of Fire..."
The tone of Senju Tobirama's earnest teaching made Kazuki feel a little unnatural.
Kazuki had a strange sense of déjà vu, as if Senju Tobirama was like an old emperor in the feudal era, teaching him, the prince, the art of ruling the country...
Senju Tobirama cleared his throat and finally got to the point. "In short, you must understand that Mito is going to try to test you..."
Kazuki blinked, and at this moment, he realized what Senju Tobirama was worried about.
Old man, you don't really think I have Uchiha Izuna's chakra, do you?
Although I really want it, I, Kazuki, really don't have that thing!
Tobirama, if you miss him so much, why don't you find a way to give him to me? I, Kazuki, would gladly accept it…
