Chapter 39 Shisui and Itachi

Yuhi Hong heard the sad cries outside and lost her mood.

Instead, she chose to let Zaohui pick out a few white chrysanthemums and wrap them up. Hong and Che left holding a bouquet of white chrysanthemums and went to the cemetery where the ninjas who died fighting on the border were buried to offer their condolences.

Yamanaka Hai's wife said: "These two children are really good."

Zaohui nodded and agreed with her husband.

After presenting flowers, Che and Hong also parted ways.

Che returned to the Uchiha station and was stopped by several acquaintances.

"Brother Che!"

One after another, voices were calling for big brother, and it was Uchiha Copperfire and the others who came.

In the blink of an eye, these bad students from the ninja school have grown into qualified Konoha genin, among which the strength of Copper Fire and Iron Fire is the best among the genin.

"What's wrong?" Che observed that the expressions of several people seemed to have something to say.

"Clan Chief Fugaku's wife has given birth, and now many people in the village have gathered around to watch the excitement."

Tonghuo explained the situation, and Che also became interested.

"Then let's go together."

After hearing Che's words, Tonghuo and others happily followed Che to the patriarch's home.

A large group of people had gathered outside the courtyard, all trying to join in the excitement of the clan leader's birth, and everyone was speculating whether the child would be a boy or a girl.

At this time, the door to the courtyard was opened, and Fugaku came out with a happy face and said to everyone: "My wife just gave birth to a son, named Uchiha Itachi."

Everyone stepped forward and took out their gift bags (Japanese red envelopes, but they were white) stuffed with gift money, hoping to establish relations with the patriarch's family.

A man shouted loudly: "What a great name! I will definitely become as strong as the clan leader in the future and revitalize Uchiha!"

"Yeah yeah!"

Everyone echoed incessantly.

But Tong Huo whispered beside Che: "Weasel? Isn't it just a weasel? Doesn't this thing bring bad luck?"

In traditional concepts, the ferret is indeed an animal that symbolizes mystery and brings bad luck and misfortune.

Che smiled slightly and explained: "Weasels are actually very powerful predators. They are agile, fast, and ferocious. They are small but can prey on prey that are larger than themselves."

"Perhaps the clan leader chose this name for this reason, hoping that his son would have these advantages of Itachi in the future."

Tonghuo scratched his head and expressed his incomprehension. After all, there were so many ferocious predators in the world. Why did he have to call him Itachi? It would be nice to call him Uchiha Wolf, Uchiha Tiger or something like that.

However, Tonghuo Xianggui thought so, and still echoed with the crowd: "What a name! What a name!".

By the time the crowd dispersed and the excitement had passed, it was already dark.

Che sent a congratulations bag to Fugaku. The gift money in it was not much, but it was just a token of appreciation. After all, the patriarch's family did not lack his own money.

Fugaku took the gift bag with a happy face, patted Che on the shoulder and said, "We are staying for dinner today. There are not many people at the family banquet."

Che bowed respectfully to express his gratitude.

With so many people coming to congratulate, Che was able to stay for the family dinner, which shows how much they value Che.

Che sent a shadow clone to Yuhi Hong's house to inform him that he would not go to her house for dinner that night, and then followed Fugaku to clean up the house in the courtyard.

The people coming and going just now inevitably messed up the Fugaku family's yard.

"Your Sharingan hasn't opened yet, has it?"

Fugaku asked seemingly casually.

While playing with the messy objects in the yard, Che replied: "I'm ashamed that I haven't opened it yet."

Fugaku said: "Don't be ashamed. The opening of the Sharingan Eye is conditional. It needs to encounter tragic events such as witnessing the loss of relatives and friends, and it can only be opened when you are devastated."

"That's why the Sharingan is also called the cursed eye."

"And you have been mature since childhood, with a thoughtful mind and a stable personality. It will be more difficult for you to open the Sharingan with such a personality."

Che felt strange after hearing Fugaku's explanation.

"Why is the way to open the Sharingan so weird? I think the Hyuga family next door can open it by learning how to form seals to control chakra."

Che was confused, so he asked Fugaku: "Clan leader, can you show me your Sharingan?"

Fugaku put down what he was doing, turned to look at Che, and looked into Che's eyes.

Suddenly, Fugaku's black eyes changed their appearance. The original black eyeballs instantly turned into blood red, with three black magatama lines on them, making the whole person's temperament become sharp and solemn.

Che's six eyes flickered and he immediately found the secret of the Sharingan.

"The chakra of the Sharingan is connected to a certain part of the brain. It seems that the secret lies in this."

"It's a pity that I can't directly see what this brain area does, otherwise I should be able to directly uncover the secret of the Sharingan."

"It seems that I can only do further research after I open the Sharingan."

Che thought in his heart.

Fugaku then closed his Sharingan.

At this time, another guest came outside the door.

A boy with short black slightly curly hair walked in, holding a congratulations bag and handed it to Fugaku, then bowed and said, "Sorry, Uncle Fugaku, I was just practicing at the training ground, so I'm late."

"It doesn't matter, you just have to come." Fugaku kindly took the gift bag and said, "You can also stay and eat together."

Then Fugaku looked at Che and introduced: "Che, this is Uchiha Shisui, a descendant of Kagami-sama who once served as the bodyguard of the Second Hokage."

"Shisui, this is the Uchiha Che you've been thinking about." Fugaku then introduced Che to Shisui. After all, Uchiha Che's name as a genius is something that every young man admires.

Shisui said respectfully to Che: "Hello, Brother Che."

Che also replied: "Hello."

Fugaku looked at the two people in front of him, smiled and said: "You two are the future of our Uchiha. From now on, I'll ask you to take care of our Itachi."

Che and Shisui agreed.

Fugaku then took Che and Shisui into the house.

Inside the house, several servants were doing their best to take care of Uchiha Mikoto, who had just given birth, and Uchiha Itachi, who had just been born.

Che and Shisui first saluted Mikoto, and then, led by Fugaku, came to the crib to visit the newly born Uchiha Itachi.

"So this is what a newborn baby looks like." Shisui said as he looked at Uchiha Itachi, who was lying on the bed and was completely unaware of the outside world.

Che was not interested in babies, but Shisui seemed to like this baby.

Fugaku looked at the baby named Itachi, and the fierce and murderous look in his eyes had long disappeared, replaced by the tenderness and expectation of fatherly love.

The three of them then enjoyed a family dinner together, eating at the same table.

While eating, Fugaku said to Che: "Shisui has just enrolled in the Ninja School, and his performance in school is very good, quite like your style in the past."

Shisui repeatedly said modestly that he was not worthy of it, but Che commented: "As a member of our Uchiha clan, it is normal to be excellent, isn't it, Fugaku-sama?"

Che's words not only gave Shisui a way out, but also threw away a burden, and took the opportunity to praise Fugaku, the head of the Uchiha clan, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

The three of them laughed tacitly, and the scene was very harmonious for a while.

After dinner, Che returned home and began to practice.

He fell asleep until late at night.
