Chapter 112 Fugaku: Unexpected!
After hearing Tobirama's words, Itachi's expression changed, and then he nodded.
The sun has already set; let's wait until Sasuke falls asleep.
As night fell, Itachi decided to take action.
However, he felt it was inconvenient for him to do things, so he chose to find a "tool person".
"Tenzo, go and bring Sasuke to Root."
So, Itachi pulled Tenzo, who was sleeping on the bed, up.
Tenzo: ⊙(・◇・)?
No, we just got back to Konoha, and we've been drinking and taking baths. It's almost 10 PM, and I'm already happily dreaming. You're pulling me out of bed so I can go bring your brother over?
Leader, are you awake?
Tenzo strongly suspects that Itachi's two-hour bath has damaged his brain.
He got up and touched Itachi's forehead. "Huh, the temperature isn't very high?"
Why would she say something so strange? Could it be that she hasn't seen her younger brother in a long time?
That's not right. I remember that as soon as he came back, he summoned a crow to go see his younger brother.
Itachi's lips twitched, his usually aloof and handsome face becoming slightly distorted.
"What are you doing?"
"Oh, let me see if you've ruined your brain by soaking in the hot springs."
Tenzo blurted out what was on his mind without thinking.
Itachi's fist hardened.
"Did you figure it out?"
Itachi twisted his neck and stared calmly at Tenzo, a red light flashing in his eyes.
"Cough cough cough, I can see it, I can see it."
Tenzo raised his hands in surrender.
"Let's talk this out. Don't resort to physical violence or eye contact. But why did you have to call Sasuke over in the middle of the night?"
Itachi was silent for a moment, then shook his head.
"Don't worry about it, it's my family matter."
He couldn't very well tell Tenzo that this was a battle between two ancestors, could he?
Besides, Itachi went through a lot of trouble to find out about his little brother's condition.
"Oh, what a hard life, but I want a bonus."
Tenzo put on the Root's new uniform, a dark coat to conceal his figure, while underneath he still wore the ANBU's specially made combat uniform.
"Wait."
Itachi called out to Tenzo, who was about to leave.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
Tenzo felt like he was being drained dry by this little leader.
"Come here for a moment."
The Mangekyō Sharingan in Itachi's eyes spun, and then the Mangekyō Sharingan in Tenzo's eyes also appeared, briefly before returning to its original state.
"Just tell my parents about this later."
Itachi didn't have a clear definition of his father's strength, but during their previous conversation, he learned that Fugaku possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan.
Based on this point alone, if Tenzo really wanted to forcibly take Sasuke away, it definitely wouldn't work.
It will take a considerable amount of time for Tenzo to convince his parents through his words alone.
Therefore, adhering to the principle of "better to avoid trouble than to cause trouble," Itachi gave Tenzo a "pass."
When the time comes, just show me the Mangekyō Sharingan, and the basic problem will be solved.
We can just move the sleeping Sasuke over there.
Tenzo felt that there was something in his eyes, but he didn't know exactly what it was.
After all, he's not from the Uchiha clan; at most, he's a Mangekyou Sharingan user, only able to use his own eye techniques, which have some bonuses.
But if you really want him to use the Sharingan to perform genjutsu or something, Tenzo can tell you definitively.
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
He wasn't a professional illusionist to begin with, so how could he possibly do something like this?
However, Itachi was quite thoughtful.
Tenzo felt a warmth in his heart. He hadn't expected the leader to be so considerate. Sigh, really... etc.
It seems he dragged me out of bed to work overtime.
ᕙ༼ ͝°益° ༽ᕗ
Oh no, I've been CPU-bound.
"May you rest in peace."
Itachi looked at Tenzo, who had frozen at the door, and kindly offered a word of advice.
"Ouch."
Tenzo nodded stiffly. Perhaps the only thing that could comfort him now was the overtime bonus.
In the darkness, a figure in a black robe darted about in the trees.
He leaped from one tree to another, looking exactly like a notorious bandit.
Tenzo: Hey! Aren't all ninjas like this?!
After a journey of less than ten minutes, Tenzo arrived at the Uchiha clan's territory, marked with a ping-pong... fan.
Because the black robe provided excellent concealment in the darkness, and because Tenzo himself was quite strong, no one noticed him along the way.
Finally, he arrived at Fugaku's house.
Tenzo pushed open the courtyard gate and walked into the courtyard.
Looking at the door of the house, Tenzo stroked his chin and then reached out his hand.
"Da da da".
A knock sounded at the door, and Fugaku, who was still thinking about government affairs, looked up at the door.
"At this hour, will anyone still come?"
Fugaku frowned. At this hour, no one usually comes unless something major happens and the Hokage comes looking for them.
But the Hokage wouldn't be the type to knock on doors like that, would he?
Could it be?
After considering a possibility, Fugaku's eyebrows relaxed.
There was even a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
As the head of the Uchiha clan, he was quite concerned about the whereabouts of some of his clansmen.
There was a little girl named Izumi whom Fugaku paid more attention to.
After all, he knew that Izumi had registered for the Root organization three years ago.
Moreover, she and Itachi had a very good relationship.
Adding to this, Fugaku happened to pass by Izumi's house by chance and overheard Izumi mentioning a weasel. He could conclude that Izumi was very likely his daughter-in-law.
Then, Izuna came back this afternoon.
What does this tell us?
This means that Itachi has returned.
Moreover, it was the middle of the night, and Sasuke and Mikoto were already asleep; he was the only one awake at home.
Honestly, why did you have to deliberately avoid Mikoto and Sasuke when you came back?
Did you want to have another long-awaited father-son conversation?
Fugaku could no longer hide his smugness.
He patted his clothes and tidied up the slightly messy files on the table.
"They're here."
InTorevent Itachi from leaving, Fugaku deliberately spoke in a voice that would be heard by the person knocking on the door outside without waking up Mikoto and Sasuke.
Luckily I took a shower tonight, ot hair would probably be terribly oily.
I touched my hair; it was smooth, shiny, and resilient.
Satisfied, very satisfied.
Fugaku walked to the door and opened it.
Approaching was a man dressed in a black robe and wearing a mask, who bowed politely.
"It's Itachi, isn't it?"
Fugaku turned his back and said calmly.
Yes, I've checked the clothes, they're correct.
That's my beloved eldest son!
Oh, you've really suffered these past years.
It's alright, tonight will be a long night for my son and me.
"Um...excuse me, are you Itachi's father?"
A voice that surprised Fugaku came over, and his body froze.
