Chapter 343 Mikoto: Let’s Have Another Sarana
Inside a house in the Uchiha clan.
"I'm back……"
Hearing the familiar voice, Mikoto immediately stood up and walked to the entrance to greet her; "Oh, it's really strange to come back so early."
Fugaku took off his shoes and stepped on the wooden floor: "The police department equipment needs to be updated, so we all got off work early tonight."
Thinking of tomorrow's events, Miqin's eyes dropped: "It's better to get off work early tonight..."
"Don't worry, everything will be fine after tomorrow..."
Fugaku noticed his wife's worries and put his generous palms gently on her shoulders: "This is not only for us now, but also for our descendants, and even for the descendants of our descendants."
Mikoto smiled: "Let me make you a pot of tea."
Fugaku apologized: "I've always troubled you..."
Mikoto shook her head, with a reassuring smile on her face: "After all, I am your wife..."
Fugaku, who has never shown true feelings, said sincerely: "It's great to be with you..."
The two entered the house. Fugaku took off his police uniform and put on casual clothes. He sat cross-legged in the room for a while before Mikoto came in with tea.
Fugaku took it with both hands, thanked his gentle wife, then took a sip and asked about his youngest son's current situation: "Sasuke, haven't you come back yet?"
At this time, my son should be out of school.
"Sasuke, you should still be practicing with the teacher at school. Recently, he always comes home very late."
"Really……"
Fugaku held the green tea with his eyes, looked at the reflection in the cup, and fell into silence for a while.
Seeing his worried look, Mikoto asked worriedly: "What's wrong?"
"I'm just lamenting that I'm really not a competent father. I don't even know when my son is out of school."
Mikoto comforted her softly: "It's not your fault."
Fugaku regretted: "If I had paid more attention to the children, maybe Itachi wouldn't have drifted away from me."
"Itachi, I will gradually understand you..."
Fugaku shook his head and didn't think so. His son was different from ordinary people in maturity, and people like this often have their own set of behavioral logic:
"I met a girl some time ago."
"Girl?"
"She seems to be deeply in love with Itachi..."
"Ah?" Mikoto's eyes flashed with surprise.
"Her name is Uchiha Izumi."
"From the Uchiha clan?"
"Well, she is Hazuki's daughter. After her husband died, she returned to the clan and Izumi is his daughter. She is a very beautiful girl."
Mikoto had an impression in her mind: "I remember that she seemed to be a classmate with Itachi."
"Yes."
"I thought that after Itachi graduated from the ninja school, the two of them had no contact..."
Mikoto knew very well that her eldest son only had missions in his mind, but she didn't expect that the two of them seemed to have maintained a certain degree of contact.
"I only found out about this recently..."
Fugaku lowered his head, trying to remember when he and Itachi had drifted apart, and were even strangers.
"do not think too much about it……"
"Mikoto, have I failed, not only as a father, but also as the leader of the Uchiha clan...?"
During the conversation with his wife, Fugaku was slowly losing his former solemnity: "Sure enough, I am not suitable to be the patriarch. If that person is still there..."
On weekdays, Fugaku is always serious and never shows any flaws to anyone. His character itself is one aspect, but the deeper thing is because he is the leader of the Uchiha clan and has a heavy burden on his shoulders. He must always remain strong and not show weakness. , even in front of children.
Until now, when both children are gone, Fugaku has revealed the softest side of his heart in front of his wife who knows him very well.
"You've done enough..."
Mikoto said half-jokingly: "You see, I have been busy working all day, and I look older than my peers. For this, I have been teased by my friends a lot..."
Fugaku:……
Mikoto moved closer to Fugaku: "After this incident, let's have another child."
Fugaku was stunned: "Huh?"
"You see, although Itachi is estranged from you, haven't he and Sasuke always been very good? If we are having a child, the house will be more lively. Taking this as an opportunity, Itachi may slowly reconcile with you."
"Well……"
"I've already thought of a name. I'll call it Zoliana. What do you think?"
Fugaku thought thoughtfully: "Zarana, does it sound like a girl's name?"
"Yeah. It's a girl."
"That's true, but whether it's a boy or a girl depends on luck."
"I have a feeling it must be a girl this time."
"What's the basis?"
"With two boys in a row, I think it must be a girl."
"..."
"You're kidding, I'm talking about a woman's intuition."
Fugaku:……
This is less reliable than the previous one.
Mikoto smiled and said: "Let's announce this when Itachi and Sasuke go home together. Let's see how they react. I think it will be interesting."
"You...just be happy, don't hit on me..."
"That's not possible. I can't do this kind of thing alone..."
Fugaku:……
Mikoto smiled and said: "I'm really looking forward to it. I really don't know why these two brothers are going home. Sasuke should still be practicing shuriken in school, and Itachi is doing something..."
Fugaku said casually: "You don't need to think about it, you must be on a mission..."
As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them seemed to think of something and lowered their heads one after another. The atmosphere became depressing, and the joyful atmosphere between the old husband and wife was completely gone.
Itachi is a double agent.
Thinking of the current relationship between his son and himself, it was hard for Fugaku not to wonder what Itachi's position was now.
If he informed the top brass about the coup...
The two couples decided to go together.
"Itachi, he..."
"When he comes back, let's have a good talk with Itachi..."
"Let's see what he is..."
"Um……"
After that, the couple was enveloped in suppressed emotions and stopped talking to each other.
This state lasted for a while, and suddenly a loud noise broke the silence.
"What happened——!"
The sudden loud sound made the two of them jump.
"I don't know. It sounded like something huge falling from the sky."
"Meteorite?"
"You'll know when you go there..."
Fugaku sighed in his heart.
A coup is going to be launched tomorrow. Such a big movement may even alarm those in the center of the village.
It seems that the coup matter has to be put on hold for the time being.
The two couples came out of the house. In addition to them, other members of their clan came out of the house. It seemed that everyone was startled by the loud noise just now.
A tribesman ran to the couple and asked about the situation: "Lord Fugaku, what is going on?"
"I don't know what the specific situation is." Fugaku shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I won't know until I go there."
Just as he was talking, a figure moved up and down above the room.
Fugaku noticed his presence, and soon the man came to him.
This is one of his subordinates. He is here to report the situation after seeing the situation.
Fugaku maintained the composure of the Uchiha clan leader: "What happened."
"Captain Fugaku, that man is back..." The visitor's urgent voice was filled with excitement.
"who?"
"Uchiha...Aoji..."
"W-what-!"
Fugaku's eyes widened, unable to keep calm.
