Naruto: Start by eating the golden fruit.

The next day, on his way back from school, Itachi Uchiha found a girl.

"Um, your name is Uchiha Izumi, right?"

Standing in front of Uchiha Itachi was a girl who was about the same age as him.

In fact, many people in Konoha Village do not go to ninja school when they are ten years old.

For example, the little girl Uchiha Izumi.

Although she was about the same age as Itachi, her parents did not send her to a ninja school.

The reason...

Of course it’s because there is already a school in the Uchiha clan’s territory.

And in Konoha Village, the students accepted by the Ninja School must naturally have the talent of a ninja.

In this way, most of the civilian population will be isolated.

Some members of the family also feel that there is no need to actually go to ninja school.

This results in an increasing population. Theoretically, the number of new students in ninja schools every year should be at least 800, if not over a thousand.

You know, the population of Konoha Village combined now exceeds eight million!

With such a large base, isn't it normal for this ninja school to have a thousand new students?

However, due to various reasons, if there are 500 new students in the Ninja School every year, it is considered a lot.

However, these don’t matter much to Uchiha Itachi, and he doesn’t need to care about this matter.

For Itachi, as long as his younger brother is not involved, he won't care about most things.

But now that he had promised Sasuke, he naturally wanted to fulfill his promise.

So Uchiha Itachi found Uchiha Izumi today.

Uchiha Izumi himself is not important.

In other words, her family is not important.

But the person behind her parents, or the boss of Uchiha Izumi's parents, is very important to Uchiha Itachi.

Uchiha Izumi's parents were subordinates of an Uchiha clan elder.

There are few people in the Uchiha clan now. Since Uchiha Izumi's parents have taken refuge with an elder, and considering that there are no more than 300 clan members left in the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Izumi's parents are highly valued by the elder.

It’s not because they are so strong, it’s simply because there is really no one left.

Although Uchiha Izumi's parents are not very powerful, they are indeed loyal enough.

This is also what Uchiha Itachi values.

How to say it, if Uchiha Itachi was asked by his father to contact Uchiha Izumi, then Uchiha Itachi might not have put in much effort.

But now Uchiha Itachi is doing this for the second pillar, which has stimulated Uchiha Itachi's subjective initiative.

Like Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Izumi has lived in the clan territory since he was a child.

And because of her parents, she didn't even go to ninja school.

Of course, since Uchiha Izumi received family education since childhood, he didn't think there was anything wrong.

This time, Uchiha Itachi found Uchiha Izumi with a clear goal.

He wanted to contact the clan elder behind Uchiha Izumi's parents.

Uchiha Itachi didn't care about his father's arrangement. He just thought that if he wanted to help Sasuke and let him have a perfect childhood, then he had to contact the elders of the clan, one by one, and ask them to agree to the conditions for allowing the Uchiha clan to integrate into the inner city of Konoha.

And this news soon reached the ears of Uchiha Fugaku.

After all, he is the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, and Uchiha Fugaku still has many ears and eyes in the Uchiha clan.

After learning that Uchiha Itachi had found the daughter of a clan elder's subordinate, Uchiha Fugaku's first reaction was actually anger.

After all, Uchiha Itachi didn't listen to his orders at all.

This made Uchiha Fugaku feel a little dissatisfied.

However, Uchiha Fugaku was the patriarch of the Uchiha clan after all, and he quickly calmed down.

After calming down, Uchiha Fugaku suddenly realized: This is an opportunity!

An opportunity to make your attitude clear and try to achieve your goals!

So that night, Uchiha Itachi was called into the room by Uchiha Fugaku, and then Uchiha Fugaku asked Uchiha Itachi in a deep voice: "Why did you go to find that girl?!"

Uchiha Itachi looked at the father in front of him. In fact, from childhood to adulthood, Uchiha Itachi did not feel much fatherly love.

But this does not mean that Uchiha Itachi likes to go against his father. This is impossible, and Uchiha Itachi is not that kind of person.

"I just wanted...Sasuke 9 to have a different childhood."

Uchiha Itachi began to explain to Uchiha Fugaku, and he explained his plan.

He also knew that if Uchiha Fugaku wanted to investigate, he would not be able to hide it.

Instead of hiding it, it is better to confront his father.

Uchiha Itachi's plan was very simple. He would first infiltrate the clan elder. With his identity as the son of Uchiha Fugaku, the other party would definitely agree to let him join his army.

Next, Uchiha Itachi will grow to the point where even the clan elder will have to face him within a year. After that, Uchiha Itachi will use his allegiance as a condition in exchange for the other party's agreement to Uchiha Fugaku's decision to integrate into the inner city.

Of course, how far he can ultimately reach depends on how much Itachi can grow in this year.

Uchiha Fugaku shook his head after listening to this. He certainly knew what his son was thinking.

He used his identity as the son of the Uchiha clan leader to get the clan elder to pay attention to him.

After that, whether the other party valued Uchiha Itachi or not, it depends on Uchiha Itachi's talent. As we all know, regardless of whether Itachi is mentally ill or not, his strength and talent are definitely the best in the entire Hokage.

——My brain is not very good...

Whether it is the importance attached to Uchiha Itachi personally, or the importance attached to Uchiha Fugaku - this is naturally to gain more bargaining chips for oneself.

From two aspects, Uchiha Itachi can achieve his goal no matter what, and the clan elder cannot refuse.

After that, it will be as Uchiha Itachi said, it will take a year for the other party to take him seriously.

Then Uchiha Itachi spoke up and stated his goal.

To be honest, the strategy is very consistent with what a ten-year-old child would come up with on his own.

It was Fugaku who scoffed at this.

Although theoretically speaking, it would be a good idea for him to follow Uchiha Itachi's idea and let Uchiha Itachi be a double undercover agent, but...

Just to let her little son go to a kindergarten outside, is it necessary to go to this extent? !

Uchiha Fugaku was speechless.

It’s not a very serious matter. Has my eldest son sacrificed too much?

Uchiha Fugaku was thinking something strange in his mind, but he remained calm on the surface.

He even asked Uchiha Itachi in return: "Itachi, let's not talk about anything else, that Uchiha Izumi...what do you think of him?"
