Chapter 87 Even God Wants You to Die (New Book, Please Collect and Recommend!)
"Have you thought of anything?"
Uchiha Fugaku looked at the young man lost in thought before him, his heart filled with an involuntary sigh of emotion.
He truly hadn't expected that the person who, like himself, noticed the immense crisis hidden within the relationship between the Clan and Konoha would be a mere youngster.
What surprised him even more was that the one who saw through all of this was a former 'outsider' of the Clan!
Yes, Uchiha Fugaku might have heard the name Uchiha启, but he had only seen it on deployment rosters.
Such deployment rosters were typically a list of Clan Ninja whom the Village required to contribute, and whom the Clan Ninja themselves chose and compiled.
It could be said that almost everyone who appeared on such a list was considered by the Clan to have no future and no expectations were placed upon them.
Yet, two anomalies appeared on this very list: one was Uchiha Obito, who awakened his Sharingan with a Two-Tomoe.
Unfortunately, that child ultimately died on the battlefield in the Land of Grass, his body never recovered.
And the other was even more astonishing: Uchiha启, who awakened his Sharingan with a Three-Tomoe!
Although Uchiha Fugaku felt there was something off about this young man, because not long after he activated his Sharingan, he not only killed Kari of the Stone Ninja's Demolition Squad in the subsequent fierce battle.
That wasn't all; later, he also eliminated the Stone Ninja's Iwashimizu Shū Team, and he accomplished all of this independently!
One can imagine how terrifying this talent was; if he couldn't find any evidence to prove his point, he truly wouldn't believe Uchiha启 had just awakened his Sharingan.
After Uchiha Fugaku met this young man, Uchiha Fugaku found him to be very interesting.
This young man was very intelligent, and at the same time possessed some of the qualities he should have; these discoveries piqued Uchiha Fugaku's interest.
And subsequently, this young man's performance at the Konoha funeral also aligned with his own thoughts.
These events made Uchiha Fugaku increasingly interested in this young man, and what brought his interest in this youngster to its peak was that Clan meeting.
He truly hadn't expected this youngster's way of looking at problems to be so unique, yet remarkably logical, and the most interesting part was that his ideas truly coincided with Uchiha Fugaku's!
Under such interest, Uchiha Fugaku began to pay more attention to this young man. He wanted to see what choice this young man would make in the complex environment of the Clan.
But to his surprise, this young man made no choices at all; he didn't even come to pay respects to him, the Clan Head.
However, Uchiha Fugaku didn't pay too much attention to this young man, because he knew that this young man was either reading or training all day. Uchiha Fugaku wouldn't interfere too much with someone who demanded so much of himself.
He just hadn't expected that when they met again, it would be his own son who had jumped off a cliff and been saved by this young man.
This made Uchiha Fugaku wonder about his son's actions, while also being very grateful for what this young man had done.
Therefore, Uchiha Fugaku simply called this young man over to chat with him, and he decided to deal with his son's matter later.
Uchiha Itachi was very mature, and his thoughts were very profound. As Uchiha Itachi's father, Uchiha Fugaku, he suspected that his child had probably not committed suicide, and this matter was also not good for the child's mother to know.
However, Uchiha Fugaku never expected that a casual chat would bring him such incredible shock, and it was precisely this time that he kept Uchiha启, making him unconsciously no longer dare to treat him as a child!
Too keen, too precise! He actually, at such a young age and with incomplete information, judged the relationship between the Village and the Uchiha through some cultivation insights!
Even if many adult Clan members were given all the Clan documents, they might not necessarily understand the key points.
Uchiha Fugaku felt he had underestimated this young man. Even though he repeatedly raised his evaluation of him, he always felt he still underestimated him.
In terms of strength, this young man had already proven himself, and he was only thirteen or fourteen, with plenty of room for growth!
In terms of wisdom, he had also proven himself, proving himself on such a complex battlefield, and proving himself in such an enigmatic environment of the Village and the Clan!
At this moment, Uchiha Fugaku decided that he could no longer let this young man remain so detached from the Clan. This young man maintained a relationship with Kakashi; perhaps he harbored other intentions?
Some intentions that Uchiha Fugaku didn't even dare to think about.
"Clan Head, are you thinking of changing the Konoha Military Police Force?" Just as Uchiha Fugaku was looking at Uchiha启 with a somewhat complex expression, Uchiha启 suddenly spoke up and asked.
He had already figured it out. Uchiha Itachi joining the Anbu and becoming a double agent was fundamentally due to the outbreak of the Nine-Tailed Fox Incident.
Uchiha Shisui's situation was similar. Although Uchiha Shisui had always leaned towards Konoha before, his entry into the Anbu also occurred after the Nine-Tailed, when the relationship between the Uchiha and Konoha was precarious.
Those old foxes in Konoha outwardly appeared to be appeasing the Uchiha Clan, but in reality, how could they not guess these guys' intentions? And due to compatible ideologies, these two Uchiha were directly brainwashed and defected!
Now, there was no Nine-Tailed incident, so Konoha probably wouldn't allow the Uchiha to meddle with the Anbu.
So, the most likely possibility was that Uchiha Fugaku indeed wanted to change the Konoha Military Police Force. The points Uchiha启 brought up probably greatly stimulated this Clan Head.
Especially since he almost stood on the 'Dove Faction's' position.
Making some changes in advance to avoid certain things was definitely the right choice; even if it was difficult, he wanted to try.
And for Uchiha启, this was absolutely good news, because it was a sign of Uchiha启's plan succeeding!
"Yes," Uchiha Fugaku did not hide it: "Too many people hate the Uchiha Clan, and the Uchiha and the Village are drifting further apart. This is not what I wish to see."
"This is a difficult matter, Clan Head." Uchiha启 thought for a moment; he decided it was better to be somewhat reserved: "Many people within the Clan probably won't allow you to do this."
"I know that, of course, but there are some things I must approach with a more forceful attitude." Uchiha Fugaku sighed: "Think it over carefully and give me some suggestions, how about that?"
"Clan Head." Before Uchiha Fugaku could finish speaking, the door to his office suddenly knocked: "Lord Yu has arrived."
Uchiha Yu arrived?
Uchiha启 nodded calmly. Indeed, he should have arrived. Since his whereabouts weren't hidden, how could he not know?
Uchiha Fugaku also responded calmly, then stood up and walked towards the door.
"Think it over carefully, Qi-kun." Uchiha Fugaku said calmly: "You wait in here for a moment; I'll go talk to Lord Yu."
"Yes, Clan Head." Uchiha启 also stood up and bowed to Uchiha Fugaku.
Although he didn't care about this Uchiha Yu fellow at all, since someone was helping him resolve trouble, he naturally preferred to avoid unnecessary complications.
Perhaps Uchiha Fugaku calling him here also had this intention. Eliminating conflict was impossible, but at least it could alleviate it, couldn't it?
Smiling, he watched Uchiha Fugaku close the office door. Uchiha启 also looked around the office, but when his gaze fell upon Uchiha Fugaku's desk, Uchiha启 froze.
On it, astonishingly, was the Konoha Military Police Force Ninja patrol map that Uchiha Fugaku had just finished drawing up!
"It seems that this time, even heaven wants you dead, Uchiha Yu."
Thanks to Liu Yingshui for the reward~ Thank you, great one
