# Chapter 17: I Will Shoulder All of the Uchiha's Burdens!
"No one is home, yet there's still an ANBU watching?"
Uchiha Fugaku arrived at Uzumaki Mizuki's home as agreed.
He infiltrated stealthily and, upon opening his Sharingan, easily discovered an ANBU member monitoring Uzumaki Mizuki's house.
This made him frown.
However, the ANBU wasn't what gave him a headache; it was what would happen next.
It seemed there really was something troublesome this time.
Uchiha Fugaku easily controlled the ANBU with a genjutsu.
As a Mangekyo user, although genjutsu wasn't his strongest suit, making a ninja with only Chunin-level strength fall for it was a simple matter.
The opponent wouldn't even know what happened.
However, the faster it was resolved, the better.
He quickly infiltrated Uzumaki Mizuki's home.
As agreed, he made the sound of a lighter lid opening.
"You're here!"
Uzumaki Mizuki's shadow clone pushed open the bathroom door.
"Contacting me so urgently, is something wrong?"
Uchiha Fugaku asked with a solemn expression.
Because it hadn't been long since the Uchiha situation stabilized.
He had thought they would pass this period of stability before meeting again.
He didn't expect Uzumaki Mizuki to contact him so soon.
"Danzo might be onto me. If I'm exposed, there won't be many more chances."
"So, I'm preparing to do something big to attract his attention."
Uzumaki Mizuki said directly.
Fugaku had boarded a pirate ship.
If this was ultimately exposed, the threat to the Uchiha Clan would be even greater than his own.
So he didn't hide anything and spoke directly.
"Discovered your identity?"
Hearing this, Uchiha Fugaku was shocked and hurriedly asked.
If so, that would be troublesome.
Could it be that at this very moment, he had fallen into a trap? Was the ANBU outside just a decoy to lure him in?
There could be dozens of ANBU deployed around, waiting for him to leave, and then they would immediately kill him!
"No, he should be after my aptitude."
"Haven't I been beating up your son and kids from other clans recently!"
"He probably discovered that my aptitude is good and wants to recruit me for training. It's even possible he wants to use me to replace my brother and become the new Jinchuriki."
Uzumaki Mizuki quickly understood this.
If Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to take over, he would definitely send him to the Ninja Academy for brainwashing.
The so-called "other place" must be Root!
That old geezer Danzo would not have any compassion for the two brothers.
Both of their parents had given their lives for the village!
Guessing Danzo's intentions was easy.
Including Yamato, the inheritor of Konoha's Wood Style!
"I see... But I can't interfere in this matter."
"You know the current situation of the Uchiha. It's good enough that we've stabilized. There are internal troubles, plus my sensitive identity. There's no way I can do anything!"
Uchiha Fugaku breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he spoke hurriedly.
In fact, he didn't hide anything.
Unless they turned against Konoha, there was nothing the Uchiha Clan could do.
"Previously, I talked to you about changing the fate of the Uchiha Clan, so they are no longer cast aside like stray dogs. Have you considered it?"
Uzumaki Mizuki didn't answer.
He looked up slightly and stared seriously at Uchiha Fugaku.
After exchanging for the Tear of the Goddess, he could now act freely and had the power to protect himself.
To stir up trouble, he had to drag the Uchiha in.
However, he would also shoulder and bear everything for the Uchiha!
"The Uzumaki Clan's method?"
"Do you want to openly confront Konoha?"
Uchiha Fugaku was stunned. He didn't expect Uzumaki Mizuki to say this at this time.
Then he also spoke very seriously.
A solid ally was necessary.
After experiencing Konoha's plan to eliminate the Uchiha, he had no lingering feelings for Konoha.
"Everything will be shouldered by me!"
"But the Uchiha Clan must also pledge loyalty to me!"
Uzumaki Mizuki said seriously.
Saying this was his promise.
He wasn't like those protagonists in Xuanhuan novels who took other people's things and women but didn't care!
"What do you mean!"
"Does the Uzumaki Clan want to seize the position of Hokage!"
Uchiha Fugaku was somewhat shocked and angry.
He didn't want Konoha to experience such things again.
It was truly disgusting.
He only hoped to be able to leave Konoha with the Uchiha Clan intact and survive in the future.
"This world is unreasonable!"
"Hokage and such things, I don't care for them. What's above is my goal!"
"Konoha is just the beginning. I want to change the entire world!"
"In the future, there will be no more foolish wars. Everything will change. Help me change this world, and also help the Uchiha change their destiny!"
Uzumaki Mizuki said solemnly to Uchiha Fugaku.
Uchiha Fugaku looked at Uzumaki Mizuki in shock.
He didn't expect a child to have such grand ambitions.
He didn't know why, but at this moment, his blood was boiling.
"What can the Uchiha Clan help with now?"
"If it's direct confrontation with Konoha, I advise you to give up. I can try to help you escape Konoha. In the future, I will have my chance."
Uchiha Fugaku quickly calmed down.
Although he didn't agree directly, he had started to help plan.
He felt the possibility was low, but the child before him possessed such aptitude!
He didn't have a subservient heart but possessed the conviction of a king!
"Just sign this contract. The Uchiha doesn't need to do anything else."
Uzumaki Mizuki raised his hand, opened the Gate of Babylon, and took out a piece of A4-sized paper from it.
Only a few words were written on it, with no other content.
