"I am back."
Itachi took off his shoes in front of the entrance and stepped on the tatami mats on the floor.
Another few days passed, and his injuries recovered a lot. Today, he got the permission to leave the hospital, and immediately rushed back home without stopping.
The voice echoed in the empty living room, but no one responded.
"Mother should have taken Sasuke out. Father is still working in the police department. Didn't he come back?"
Glancing around a few times, he felt a little empty inside for no reason.
"Itachi, you're back."
Familiar words came from the side room, and he glanced in surprise.
"Father, you are at home."
Opening the bamboo sliding door, Fuyue was sitting with his back facing him, staring at the paintings on the wall all the time.
Looking at his father with his back turned, he seemed to see several heavy mountains, weighing heavily on the middle-aged man's shoulders.
"Come, sit across from me."
Fuyue's deep voice echoed in the small room, faintly revealing a little tiredness.
"Before, you were in the hospital, so I didn't congratulate you for becoming a Zhongnin immediately. It's not too late to make up for it now."
He took a closer look at his son who had put on a Chunin vest. Since Itachi was only seven years old this year, the vest looked a little wider than others.
"In less than a year, he completed the transformation from a lowly ninja to a middle ninja. He is worthy of being my son."
"You are overrated, Father." Itachi replied neither humble nor overbearing, his eyes fell on his father's face, a strand of white hair between the temples was particularly conspicuous.
At some point, his father had a strand of white hair.
After hesitating for a moment, he thought about it and said, "Father, is there anything bothering you?"
As if he didn't expect Itachi to ask this sentence, Fu Yue raised his head in surprise, and subconsciously wanted to say the word 'it's okay', but then he seemed to think of something, and his eyes showed a bit of kindness.
"Itachi, although you are only seven years old, in terms of mental maturity, you are not inferior to many adults.
Moreover, now that you have become a Chunin and have the qualifications to lead a team, then, there is no need to deliberately hide some things from you, you have the right to know. "
He reached out and patted his son's shoulder lightly, his eyes seemed to penetrate the wall, looking into the endless distance.
"You should have heard about the three generations of adults falling into a coma, right?"
"Yes, the fact that the three generations of adults were attacked by the rebel ninja Orochimaru is now known to everyone in Konoha, and everyone knows it."
Itachi nodded respectfully. During his recuperation in the hospital, the assistant Hokage would go there every day to give speeches and promote himself.
"Yes, it is precisely because of this that Konoha is now in a leaderless state, so the elders and Jiraiya-sama decided to temporarily select the deputy Hokage, and temporarily act as Hokage until the third generation of adults wakes up.
After discussing with several clan elders, I, for the sake of the Uchiha clan, intend to participate in the election for the Fifth Hokage. "
"Father, are you going to run for Hokage?" Itachi was shocked by the news. He knows the position of Hokage, and what this means to the Uchiha clan.
The room was silent for a moment, and Fuyue recalled the scene of discussing Uchiha's future with several clan elders, and looked at Itachi with a little guilt, which turned into firmness.
His tone was much more serious: "Besides, there are two other things, one is related to you, and the other..."
He took out a neatly folded paper from his arms and handed it to Uchiha Itachi: "The second matter has something to do with you, so you can take a look at the contents of this paper.
Now, to be precise, the family needs your help. "
"The family needs my help?" Itachi reached out to take the paper, and did not unfold it immediately, but showed a somewhat puzzled look, and then said, "If I can do it, please leave it to me."
"Haha, I knew it, as expected of my son."
His expression became more relaxed, and Fu Yue seemed more excited than before: "You should understand the importance of acting as Hokage to the family."
The long-cherished wish of the Uchiha clan for many years may be fulfilled in him, and he tried his best to restrain the emotions of being extremely excited and worrying about gains and losses.
"In this campaign, the family will support me with all their strength.
It's a pity that our Uchiha clan was appointed to be responsible for Konoha's security work, but we were also stripped from the center of the village, so in order to get the latest developments in Konoha, we need our own eyes and ears..."
Hearing this, Itachi already roughly understood what his father wanted to express.
Taking a deep look at the boy sitting in front of him, Fuyue said sincerely: "So...the family hopes, Itachi, you can be the eyes and ears, join the Anbu directly under Hokage, and always obtain all kinds of information about the actions of Konoha's high-level officials. "
Fuyue knew very well in his heart what Anbu meant, but the eyes and ears of the family must be someone who can be absolutely trusted and foolproof, and there are very few such people.
It can be said that even the few subordinates who have followed him for a long time cannot give absolute trust.
Once again, the room fell into a silent scene where no one spoke, and Itachi could clearly feel that his father's burning and expectant eyes almost never moved away from him for a moment.
The Uchiha clan has longed for the position of Hokage for a long time.
To be honest, he himself can't understand this desire at all, he just wants to have a harmonious and warm little home as a safe haven in the peaceful Konoha, that's all.
At least, whether the Hokage in the village is surnamed Sarutobi, or Shimura, or Uchiha, or something else, as long as it doesn't have much influence on him, he doesn't particularly care.
"It's about your future, so there's no need to make such a hasty decision, Itachi."
Fuyue returned to his usual plain and old-fashioned appearance, hesitated for a moment, and added: "Because of the status of the patriarch, I hope you can join Anbu and contribute to the Uchiha clan.
But... As a father, I hope you can act with your own will.
To go or not to go is entirely up to you, this time, I will not force you to make a choice, I respect your own decision. "
Speaking from the bottom of his heart in one breath, Fuyue himself was actually a little surprised. He always felt that, unconsciously, his views on the family and the family seemed to be subtly changing.
For these changes, he didn't have much resistance in his heart.
The scene of a family of four and the girl sitting around the kotatsu table eating and talking together appeared in my mind. The balance between the two sides of the family and the family shook slightly, as if they were looking for a new balance point.
"I've made a decision, Father." Itachi was not only thinking about his father's words, but also used this time to finish reading the paper.
Holding it tightly in his palm, he said solemnly: "Anbu, I can join.
However, I would like to join the root led by Danzo-sama.
Please help me tell Danzo-sama who sent the letter, since I have become a member of the root, there is no need for Rin Uchiha to join.
It is enough for me to watch everything in the dark. "
Itachi took off his shoes in front of the entrance and stepped on the tatami mats on the floor.
Another few days passed, and his injuries recovered a lot. Today, he got the permission to leave the hospital, and immediately rushed back home without stopping.
The voice echoed in the empty living room, but no one responded.
