Chapter 189 Fugaku: Please, Mikoto

Kiyoshi explained the reason to Mikoto.

Konoha definitely has spies within the Uchiha clan. If word gets out, the Hokage will have someone else investigate.

Who knows what the situation will be like then? They might investigate Fugaku even more secretly.

"it is good."

Mikoto said earnestly.

This matter is of great importance, and she is not one to gossip.

"Kiyoshi, how do you plan to reply?"

Upon hearing this, Kiyoshi looked troubled and said:

"I'm afraid I don't have much say in this. I believe Lord Fugaku isn't the kind of person who hides his strength, but if the investigation results are indeed like that, I..."

Kiyoshi's expression was conflicted.

(Please remember the website 20 ...

Mikoto's heart skipped a beat.

Kiyoshi was not born and raised in the Uchiha clan. He grew up in the Land of Lightning and later went to the Ninja Academy to be influenced by the "Will of Fire".

He might be a good person like Uchiha Kagami.

This is a good thing.

However, it's easy to focus on the issue rather than the person.

If the investigation actually uncovers anything, it will likely be reported truthfully.

Given Qing Si's special status, no one in the clan dared to touch him.

It's obvious they're middlemen sent by Konoha to oversee things.

Thinking of those terrible consequences, Mikoto couldn't help but frown.

Fugaku was indeed the clan leader, but the Uchiha clan wasn't just comprised of Fugaku's faction.

Just like Uchiha Setsuna, he didn't need to follow Fugaku's call at all, and he already had a certain number of supporters.

Those clansmen who do not agree with Fugaku might take the opportunity to jump out and criticize him.

Fugaku, on the other hand, faces the dual pressures of the village and his clan.

At this point, the truth becomes less important.

At that moment, Mikoto considered many possibilities, and her face turned pale.

"Kiyoshi, Fugaku is doing this for the sake of his clan. I think he has his own reasons."

Mikoto carefully considered the words.

The clan leader concealed his strength, and the clansmen fought to the death.

Even if Kiyoshi reports the truth, it wouldn't be considered a betrayal of the Uchiha clan. On the contrary, he might even gain support from some of his clansmen.

That group of people were those who longed for stability.

That's how Madara, who wanted to start a war, was abandoned by his clan.

Fugaku... could very well be next.

"Then I don't know."

Kiyoshi shook his head.

Mikoto tried to persuade him a few more times, but seeing that Kiyoshi showed no sign of relenting, she had no choice but to leave first.

Kiyoshi remained seated calmly, gazing at Mikoto's voluptuous figure.

If he's not mistaken, Mikoto will come back for a second time soon!

The reason is simple: Danzo Shimura would never trust Fugaku Uchiha.

This will continue to fuel public opinion for some time.

The Uchiha clan's bad reputation is inseparable from Danzo Shimura. Naruto's childhood being exposed as a demon fox and being scorned and hated by the villagers is also inseparable from Danzo Shimura.

This old dog is a master at creating public opinion and rumors.

If he finds out it's the Mangekyou Sharingan, Danzo Shimura will try to take it.

Even if it were a secret technique, Danzo Shimura would still take it.

Otherwise, how could Danzo Shimura know Izanagi, which even Sasuke doesn't know?

This is a special secret technique of the Uchiha clan.

Because such exaggerated secret techniques were once rampant, it led to endless infighting within the clan.

Later, Uchiha Chiri developed the corresponding "Izanami," which finally ended the chaos of internal strife.

Even now, these two secret techniques are closely guarded secrets of the Uchiha clan.

Even among the Uchiha clan's own ninjas, very few can do it.

"Fugaku, your weakness is precisely the key to my further advancement."

Kiyoshi watched the setting sun and teased the white snake.

Fearing failure and indecisive, Fugaku resorts to escapism.

Just as Itachi Uchiha had shown signs of something being wrong, Fugaku chose to apologize humbly in the face of accusations from other clan members.

Given the current slander, Fugaku will probably choose to tough it out.

Because he is a very contradictory person.

He wanted to use this power to become Hokage, but he was also afraid of failing.

The Uchiha clan's attempts at a coup have remained mere rhetoric, with no actual action ever taken.

"I will take good care of Mikoto."

A gust of wind swept through the courtyard.

The wind carried away all traces, leaving Kiyoshi's playful words hidden in the wind.

"hiss?"

The white snake was puzzled.

Then it squinted its snake eyes and enjoyed its master's massage.

…………

Fugaku's house.

"Fugaku?"

Fugaku, standing in front, had a gloomy face, seemingly lost in thought.

This caught Mikoto's attention.

He hadn't had a chance to tell the wealthy man that he was under investigation.

"Mikoto, Kiyoshi has agreed to join the Anbu?"

When he saw that it was Mikoto, Fugaku's expression softened a bit.

He had just returned from the Hokage Building.

The Konoha leadership pressured him, asking if he was hiding anything.

Fugaku had no choice but to play dumb and say that he had broken through his physical limits in a fit of rage in order to kill the enemy instantly.

The higher-ups didn't press further, but Fugaku knew they would definitely try to find out privately.

After all, the Uchiha clan has a record of the "Mangekyou Sharingan," and that person is quite famous—Uchiha Madara, who joined forces with the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, to create Konoha.

Even the name Konoha was Madara's idea.

"Kiyoshi, he said he'll join the Dark Division."

"it is good."

Fugaku nodded.

We can talk about this at the secret gathering at Nanga Shrine tonight.

If Uchiha joins the Anbu, it means they also have spies in Konoha.

If anything happens, we won't be completely passive.

"What about the girl he likes?"

Fugaku asked.

Kiyoshi is quite handsome, and with his remarkable talent, there must be quite a few girls in the clan who would be interested in him.

He still says no.

Mikoto hesitated, unsure whether to relay Kiyoshi's reply.

She had told Fugaku last time that Kiyoshi had chosen her.

In the end, Kiyoshi still talked about himself.

"That's enough."

Fugaku waved his hand.

The matter was not discussed further.

Mikoto looked at Fugaku with a worried expression.

What is Fugaku hiding?

The village's opinion of the Uchiha clan hasn't been very good lately.

Fugaku, in particular, has been constantly slandered.

It had the same scale as the incident involving Sakumo Hatake.

"Fugaku, you're under investigation."

Mikoto told Fugaku what Kiyoshi had told her.

Fugaku's square face stiffened.

It wasn't because of Qing Si, but because I was wondering if there were other people in the clan like Qing Si.

Given the precedent of Uchiha Kagami, there are also pro-Konoha factions.

"I'll have to ask you to do this for me, Mikoto."

Fugaku looked at Mikoto, who was filled with worry for him, and said those words.

He was a dignified and rigid man, not suitable to meet Kiyoshi.

That would put pressure on Kiyoshi, who was under the command of a clan chief.

It might backfire.

Coincidentally, Kiyoshi has a fondness for gentle women like Mikoto, and boys of this age are most easily persuaded.

"I know."

Mikoto nodded, but still wanted to know what Fugaku was hiding.

Left with no other choice, Fugaku selectively revealed some information to Mikoto.

And she repeatedly instructed Mikoto not to tell anyone.

If it weren't for seeing how devoted Mikoto had been to him, Fugaku would never have revealed it.
