"Uncle Fugaku."
Itachi shouted.
Fugaku's lips twitched when he heard Itachi call him "uncle".
He forced a stiff smile and asked:
Has your mother not returned yet?
"not yet."
Itachi returned.
He knew the man in front of him was the head of the Uchiha clan.
He always tried to get close to his mother under some pretext, but his mother didn't really pay any attention to him.
Are there any difficulties in your spiritual practice?
Fugaku remained silent for a moment, then looked at Itachi.
Regardless, Itachi is Mikoto's child.
He could also show his magnanimity as a man and take better care of Itachi.
"I have just finished my training. Thank you for your kindness."
Itachi politely declined.
He knew his mother didn't like Fugaku, so he didn't have much contact with him.
He could figure out the problem with the kunai all by himself.
"Ok."
Fugaku sighed helplessly and walked away alone in dejection.
……
Another period of time passed.
The Hokage succession ceremony is about to begin.
Kiyoshi will then become the official Hokage.
To Kiyoshi's surprise, Shimura Danzo did not cause any trouble during this time.
That's good; Kiyoshi doesn't want to kill Shimura Danzo now.
We have to wait until he squeezes out all the remaining value. Kiyoshi is very interested in the spacetime secret technique "Bull-Headed Heavenly King".
And Sasuke is about to be born.
Kiyoshi made a point of spending time with Mikoto.
If this child does not have Indra's chakra to reside in, Kiyoshi's plan will have to be interrupted and started all over again.
For example, speeding up time to find the "Dragon Vein," using its immense energy to travel to the past, and finding a way to obtain Naruto and Sasuke's chakra.
But the risk is too great.
For Kiyoshi, time travel is full of uncontrollable factors; no one knows which era he will travel to.
Even failure is not impossible.
Kiyoshi's ability to successfully meet Minato Namikaze can only be attributed to the protagonist's halo.
If the "Dragon Vein" could travel through time so easily, then the movie's boss, Hyakuzoku, wouldn't have needed to inject the "Dragon Vein Chakra" into the puppets and create a puppet army when the five great nations were at their peak.
He could have easily used a puppet army to carve out a vast territory during the chaotic Warring States period, when ninjutsu was still underdeveloped.
"I'm here, don't worry."
Kiyoshi stroked Mikoto's forehead, comforting her.
He then nodded to the nurses beside him and pushed Mikoto inside.
Kiyoshi was quite experienced and skillfully delivered Mikoto's baby.
After a while, the sound of a baby crying could be heard in the operating room.
Kiyoshi's eyes subtly turned crimson, and strange kaleidoscope patterns bloomed as he carefully observed the newborn baby.
"Indra's chakra..."
Kiyoshi observed for a while but found nothing unusual.
Madara's awakening of the Rinnegan is also a basis for speculation that he and Sasuke share a deeper bond.
That means they are both reincarnated beings.
With that in mind, Kiyoshi took some of the baby's blood, intending to study the cells inside.
Theoretically speaking, even without the Sage of Six Paths giving him a power-up, Sasuke could still follow Madara Uchiha's example and steal the cells of Ashura's reincarnation to awaken the Rinnegan.
Chakra is a product that can be passed on in genetic material.
"Mikoto, Sasuke is very healthy."
After doing everything, Kiyoshi held Sasuke, who was still in swaddling clothes, for Mikoto to see.
Mikoto's face was pale, and she gave a weak smile.
……
When Mikoto was taken into the operating room, Itachi was the only one left outside.
For Itachi, every day is insignificant.
Whether you spend the year in a daze or in a fulfilling way, nothing will change.
The important thing is daily practice.
For him, the key is to make real progress step by step.
However, today is an unusual day for Itachi, as he is about to have a younger brother or sister.
The surgery went smoothly. Itachi watched as the operating room door suddenly opened, and Kiyoshi led Mikoto to a hospital room to recuperate.
Not long after, the nurse brought in a somewhat wrinkled baby.
Itachi knew that all newborn babies were like this.
"Itachi, he will be your younger brother from now on."
After Mikoto finished talking with Kiyoshi, she looked at Itachi standing by the bed.
Itachi did not reply, but simply stared at the infant in front of him.
The newborn baby couldn't see clearly in front of him; his bewildered eyes stared into the air as he desperately tried to understand his situation.
Itachi reached out and gently touched his cheek.
The sudden stimulation made the baby tremble.
Itachi was startled by his reaction and withdrew his hand.
The mother laughed when she saw this and looked at the weasel.
"It's Sasuke."
Mikoto said.
The name Sasuke echoed in Itachi's mind.
The child's name.
My own younger brother.
Uchiha Sasuke...
The weasel gently touched the baby's rosy cheeks again.
"Sasuke..."
When he first called out his brother's name, a warm feeling quietly welled up in his heart.
This was different from the love he received from his mother; it was a special feeling that defied description.
Young Itachi couldn't explain what kind of feeling this was.
However, seeing the ethereal baby in front of him, who seemed so fragile that he could break at the slightest touch, a sense of responsibility as a man welled up within him, and he felt that he had to protect him.
Perhaps this is the responsibility of an older brother?
All Itachi knew was that at this moment he had made up his mind to protect Sasuke.
"I'm entrusting my younger brother to you."
After hearing his mother say that, Itachi still placed his hand on Sasuke's face and nodded heavily.
"Is he still a brother-complex character?"
Kiyoshi looked at Itachi.
At this moment, Itachi kept his eyes fixed on Sasuke.
"Itachi, this is the 'bond' of blood. Many members of the clan also have brothers and sisters."
Kiyoshi suddenly said.
"Others also have...brothers and sisters."
Itachi turned to look at Kiyoshi.
He had never thought about this question before.
"That's right, everyone's feelings can be similar at times."
Kiyoshi's dark eyes reflected the young Itachi.
In the original story, when Itachi wielded his sword and killed one clansman after another, did he ever think that they were also someone else's younger brother, younger sister, or parents?
What Kiyoshi needs to do now is to implant these concepts into the young Itachi's mind.
If he still goes astray, believing that Konoha is greater than Uchiha.
Then there's no way.
Kiyoshi was still interested in "Tsukuyomi" and "Amaterasu".
If Itachi were to follow the path of the original work, he would inevitably have the same mindset as the original work, causing his Eye of the Soul to respond to the original work's eye technique.
“I remember, Father.”
Itachi nodded.
"Don't do that in public."
Mikoto gently rebuked him.
After all, Itachi is Kiyoshi's illegitimate son, and having a child out of wedlock might have an impact on Kiyoshi.
"fine."
Qingsi smiled.
People from the Uchiha clan are all fanatics, so they are also prone to being love-struck.
In the original story, Mikoto was willing to die with her husband, but she never considered how tragic it would be for Sasuke alone.
This proves that in her heart, her husband is more important than her children.
Just like when Hinata saw Naruto in danger, she immediately handed her daughter Himawari to Sakura and rushed forward as a Chunin.
Before he could even reach them, he was knocked unconscious by the aftershocks of Naruto and Momoshiki's battle. When Boruto woke up, he saw his mother receiving treatment from Sakura.
Mikoto and Hinata are essentially the same.
Of course, this is a double-edged sword, and no one knows what the more extreme Uchiha might do for love.
"……Yes."
The weasel lowered its head.
He could sense that his father held a higher position in his mother's heart.
But he doesn't care about that now. Maybe he used to, but after meeting Sasuke, Itachi no longer cares about such things.
