Chapter 136 Night Talk of Three Generations (Part 1)
Uchiha clan land.
After greeting several people, Xia Mu came to Fugaku's bedroom.
Fugaku sat on the bed, his eyes were open, but his irises were gray and white, and he didn't know how much vision he had.
Xia Mu walked in, and Fugaku looked over.
"Is it Xia Mu?"
Fugaku asked. He could only see an outline now, and the rest was unclear, but he estimated it should be Xia Mu.
"Why are you so embarrassed, clan leader?"
Xia Mu smiled, his tone was relaxed, and he didn't feel sorry for Fugaku at all.
Fugaku also smiled with relief: "I wanted to keep Obito, but I didn't expect him to run away in the end."
Xia Mu shook his head. Obito hurt the Uchiha clan so badly. If it weren't for his intervention, the clan would have been exterminated now.
Fugaku naturally didn't want to let Obito go, but Fugaku didn't discuss it with him, and did it quietly.
It is said that Fugaku and Obito finally competed in pupil power, and both were injured.
Look at Fugaku's eyes, they are basically useless.
Obito, because of Hashirama's cells, is very strong.
He is probably recovered now.
He has taken back the eyes on Kakashi.
He is probably much stronger now.
Xia Mu came back early because he was worried that Obito would make a comeback.
"I have set up a summoning circle for you, why don't you call me back, or Itachi and Shisui back."
Xia Mu didn't mean to blame him, he just wanted to hear Fugaku's thoughts.
Fugaku sighed: "Itachi and Shisui are too young, I'm worried about accidents."
"As for not summoning you."
Fugaku paused:
"I have made no contribution to the clan, but you have been working for the development of the clan."
"After seeing the future scene, I feel that I am incompetent and I am very grateful to you."
"Since I am ready to give my eyes to Itachi, I have no regrets."
"I thought I was well prepared, so I directly activated the time-sealing array. The time-sealing array cannot be activated to summon spirits."
"I didn't expect Obito's Wood Release to be so strong, and suddenly lost a lot of people."
"After the time-sealing array ended, I didn't expect him to have helpers."
"Later, I fell into a coma and the enemy retreated, so I didn't call you back."
Fugaku slowly explained these words to Xia Mu.
"We are all Uchiha clan members, and we are all working hard for the Uchiha clan to become stronger."
"Don't belittle yourself. You have led the Uchiha clan and have not suffered any major losses."
"Don't talk about regrets or not."
"Itachi is not married yet, and Sasuke is not grown up yet."
"There is still a long time to go, and you haven't seen the Uchiha clan become the strongest force yet."
Natsuki comforted Fugaku, although Fugaku's years as clan leader were not very good.
But with his intervention, the Uchiha clan is still there, and Fugaku doesn't have to blame himself so much.
Fugaku didn't want Itachi and Shisui to take risks, and he underestimated Obito, so it turned out like this.
No one is perfect, and it is understandable that Fugaku would have such thoughts.
It doesn't matter now, because the clan hasn't suffered much loss anyway.
But the time-sealing formation, a killer weapon, was exposed.
Fugaku felt warm in his heart after hearing what Natsuki said.
Xia Mu teased, "You have squandered all your eye power now."
Fugaku was very open-minded: "It doesn't matter, I have already decided to leave my eyes to Itachi."
Xia Mu opened his Sharingan and observed Fugaku's eyes:
"You overdrawn too much before, and now you need to recuperate for a while."
"It doesn't matter, since you are back, take away the eye power left by the transcription seal." Fugaku said.
Now Fugaku can still see an outline because Xia Mu's eye power is still left in his eyes.
If Xia Mu takes away the eye power, Fugaku will not be able to see at all.
"Okay then."
Since Fugaku had already planned, Xia Mu was not polite to Fugaku.
Now is the time when the family needs him, and it doesn't matter whether Fugaku can see now.
Fugaku's blindness is an inevitable process, and he needs to take care of his eyes.
When the body recovers and Itachi meets the conditions, the fusion of the Eternal Mangekyo will be carried out.
If his pupil power was in Fugaku's eyes, it would interfere with and burden Fugaku's Mangekyō training.
After Xia Mu split his pupil power, he realized that it was not as simple as just splitting a part of it and restoring the Eternal Eye.
Rather, the upper limit of the pupil power was also restricted.
Xia Mu stretched out his hand and pressed it on Fugaku's eyes, and a familiar pupil power slowly spread out.
He pulled his hand back, and this invisible pupil power came out with the spell in Xia Mu's hand.
Xia Mu lightly touched his eyes, and the spell surged, and these pupil powers slowly entered his eyes.
Instantly, his eyes felt cool, and after the pupil power was replenished, the whole eye was different.
But now is not the time to think about this, after the transfer of the sealed pupil power was extracted.
The irises of Fugaku's eyes completely dimmed.
"Patriarch, how are your eyes now?"
Fugaku opened his dim eyes and looked around.
He said calmly: "It's pitch black now. Is this what it feels like to be blind?"
"Itachi will have to work hard for a while. Itachi's current physical condition is not yet able to fuse your eyes." Xia Mu said.
Fugaku waved his hand indifferently: "It's okay, it's just right that you're back, the position of clan leader, I'll give it to you."
Xia Mu agreed before leaving, but now that Obito has taken back the left eye of Kamui, the threat will be greater in the future.
At this time, some plans need to be accelerated.
"No problem, but I need to publicize my succession as clan leader."
Fugaku tilted his ear with some doubt: "Don't you hate this kind of trouble the most?"
Xia Mu said helplessly: "I really don't like it, but Obito has taken back the eye, we have to take the initiative to clean up Danzo who always opposes us."
"Only by pulling out the nail of Danzo can we exchange interests with the third generation."
Fugaku frowned. This Danzo started to target them many years ago, and was dismissed and revived.
It was because the third generation Hokage protected him that the third generation Hokage could even endure Danzo's assassination. It is even more difficult for outsiders to completely nail Danzo.
"It's not easy to deal with Danzo."
Natsuki certainly knew that the Third Hokage had protected and condoned Danzo, but the Third Hokage was far from being as simple as imagined.
From the time Fugaku took office as the clan leader to the time he was killed by Itachi, it can be clearly seen that he had no political acumen.
If Fugaku was smart, he would not let his entire clan be slaughtered and die in the hands of Haodaer.
So Fugaku's understanding of the Third Hokage and Danzo was still superficial.
Since Natsuki has accumulated enough capital for Uchiha, it is natural to start working now.
Natsuki felt that it was necessary to analyze the Third Hokage to Fugaku. It also increased Fugaku's political literacy.
How can I do it alone? Fugaku, you can't rest either.
"Fugaku, your understanding of the Third Hokage is too superficial."
Fugaku is a person who knows his own affairs. When it comes to politics, he basically knows six out of seven orifices, but nothing.
That's why I've been following Natsuki's policy. Now that Natsuki is back, I'm anxious to give the position of clan leader to him.
It's because Natsuki is better than me at being the clan leader.
Listening to Natsuki's words, he seemed to want to analyze the Third Hokage's meaning.
Fugaku showed a listening look.
Natsuki cleared his throat: "In the early days of the Third Hokage, he and Danzo, one civil and one military, suppressed the major families and suppressed the powerful families one by one, greatly enhancing the centralization of the Hokage line."
Fugaku nodded. Indeed, when the Third Hokage first took office, there were still many powerful families in the ninja village, especially the Senju clan. The first and second generations were both from the Senju clan.
They left behind huge property and political assets. If Tobirama hadn't died unexpectedly and the heir of the Senju clan was young, the position of the Third Hokage would never have fallen into the hands of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Xia Mu continued: "Although the Third Generation had many things that were inconvenient for him to do, he could let Danzo handle them, but this also indulged Danzo's power."
"Of course, the Third Generation also had selfish motives. While suppressing other families, he also tilted some resources to his own family.
"Danzo's approach was different from the Third Generation. On the one hand, he wrote some blank checks to the Shimura family, sucking the blood of the Shimura family, while tilting all the resources to his own organization."
"The result is that all the people in Danzo's forces are diehards, and their loyalty to Danzo far exceeds their loyalty to the village."
"Danzo, whose power expanded, became more unscrupulous in doing things. During the period of suppressing the family, some accidents occurred."
"For example, Hatake Sakumo's suicide."
Fugaku was surprised: "Hatake Sakumo was the mastermind behind it? Didn't he commit suicide?"
Xia Mu waved his hand: "The Hatake family evolved from a samurai family, and the family values honor. Could the Third Generation not know the harm that public opinion has done to the Hatake family? ”
“How did the rumors spread? It was Danzo’s root who did it.”
“How could the Third Hokage know nothing about the rumors spreading in the village? It is obvious that Danzo’s behavior was tacitly approved by the Third Hokage.”
Fugaku frowned: “Hatake Sakumo’s death, didn’t it weaken Konoha’s strength?”
What Fugaku said made sense. You know, during the Second Shinobi World War, the Sand Village was terrified by the short sword.
He killed Scorpion’s parents directly, laying the groundwork for the Third Shinobi World War.
Natsuki chuckled: “No one is perfect. How could the Third Hokage predict everything? He just wanted to suppress Hatake Sakumo at the time, and he didn’t expect Hatake Sakumo to commit suicide directly.”
