After traveling through time, I became friends with Tsunade

"Itachi Uchiha!"

Suddenly, Yusuke's steady voice broke the silence.

"Yes! Hokage-sama!"

Uchiha Itachi straightened his small body and responded loudly with a childish voice, but his childish voice revealed a firmness that did not match his age.

"Is it your idea or your father's idea to become my disciple?"

Yusuke looked at Uchiha Itachi calmly and asked slowly.

Uchiha Itachi did not hesitate at all and spoke loudly:

"It's my own idea. I beg my father to ask you to let me become your disciple!"

"Oh... why?"

Yusuke asked quietly, a curious look on his face.

"Because I want to be as strong as you!"

There was a blazing light flashing in Uchiha Itachi's bright eyes as he looked straight at Yusuke. Facing his penetrating gaze, Uchiha Itachi clenched his teeth, suppressed his inner tension, and tried hard not to retreat.

"What will you do after you become a strong man? Unify the entire ninja world?"

Yusuke continued to ask.

"No." Uchiha Itachi shook his head vigorously.

"I have to become stronger so that I can protect the village from being destroyed by bad guys. I have to protect my family from being harmed by bad guys."

His mind involuntarily emerged with the things that had happened in the Uchiha clan before.

Although he was only about 2 years old at the time, those memories were like a deep imprint, firmly imprinted in his mind and could not be erased.

"So what do you think is more important, the village or the family?"

"Yusuke..."

Hearing Yusuke's question, Uchiha Fugaku shouted anxiously, but was stopped by Yusuke's gently raised hand.

"Answer me, Uchiha Itachi."

Yusuke stared at him very seriously, as if he wanted to see through his eyes and see what Uchiha Itachi's thoughts were at the moment.

"I...I don't know."

Uchiha Itachi shook his head and answered with difficulty, his face full of confusion and bewilderment.

"It's okay, you're still young. If you find the answer, remember to tell me."

There was no trace of blame on Yusuke's face. Instead, he reached out and gently touched his head.

Looking at the person in front of him who had shouldered countless heavy burdens in the original work, Yusuke couldn't help but feel a trace of pity in his heart.

"Sit down, Itachi. And you, Fugaku, your concentration is not even as good as Itachi's."

Yusuke said with a hint of sarcasm, then he turned to look at Uchiha Fugaku and spoke leisurely.

“Fugaku, Sakumo has returned. Today, I made a deal with Rasa. There happened to be 1000 ninjas stationed at the border, so I am going to support the Sand Village.

However, they are still short of a leader. In two days, you will lead two Uchiha clan teams to the border to join them. Also, take Itachi with you."

"Yusuke, it's fine for me to go, but Itachi is still..."

Uchiha Fugaku looked at Yusuke's unyielding eyes and could only swallow back his unfinished words helplessly.

"Itachi's upper limit must be higher than yours. Take him out to see the outside world, let him see what war is, what peace is, and then think carefully about what a village is and what a family is."

After Yusuke finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in the glass. Then he slowly stood up and said

: "It's getting late, I should go back. Fugaku, make up your mind and start preparing tomorrow."

After saying that, Yusuke gently touched Uchiha Itachi's head, nodded slightly to Uchiha Mikoto, and then disappeared in a flash of light.

"The Flying Thunder God Technique is really convenient."

Uchiha Mikoto finally couldn't help but speak, but her face was full of worry and her eyes wandered back and forth between her husband and son.

......

The next day, Hatake Sakumo returned with part of the troops in a majestic and powerful manner.

And with the careful efforts of several illusion masters, Kakashi Hatake successfully broke the illusion.

However, no matter how hard they tried, they could not pry a single word out of his tightly closed mouth.

Hatake Sakumo rushed to the Hokage's office as soon as possible, his eyes fell on Yusuke who seemed to be leisurely sitting aside, and he remained silent.

Today, their status has changed greatly. With the help of Yusuke, he had finally gotten rid of his bad reputation. But now, what he pursues is completely different.

"I thought you would go visit Kakashi first."

Yusuke said with a faint smile as he looked at Hatake Sakumo who was standing upright.

"Sakumo, sit down and talk."

Hatake Sakumo did not refuse at all. He received a message from Konoha early on his way back. At this moment, his heart was full of worries. He really didn't know what kind of punishment Konoha would give to Kakashi.

"Hokage-sama, Kakashi..."

Hatake Sakumo lowered his head, with a hint of pleading in his eyes, "What kind of punishment will he receive?"

"I thought you would be concerned about his physical condition first."

Yusuke shook his head slightly and said slowly:

"Let Kakashi join the Anbu training institution first. You have to guide him well. You and your son won't have to go out on missions in the near future."

Hearing this, Hatake Sakumo finally felt relieved and a relieved smile slowly appeared on his face:

"I'm relieved about your health. With Tsunade here, I'm sure there won't be any problems."

"Okay, go check on him, but don't provoke him. Now you can't mention anything about Uchiha Obito and Harano Rin."

In fact, Hatake Sakumo had been eager to visit Kakashi for a long time, but he forced himself to come here to report as soon as possible just to express his respect for Yusuke.

But now it seems that this reporting work may not be necessary.

He had never seen Sarutobi Hiruzen so leisurely when working here before, and there were hardly any documents piled up on his desk.

He couldn't help but feel sympathy for the few people who had worked with the Hokage and assisted him in his positions. It seemed that Yusuke had only inherited the title of Hokage, but delegated many of the Hokage's duties to others.

This guy really knows how to enjoy life.

"Then I'll go there first."

Hatake Sakumo did not refuse at all. After he finished speaking, he turned around and left quickly, heading straight towards the Konoha Hospital.

In the Konoha Hospital, Kakashi sat quietly on the hospital bed, while Minato Namikaze and Kushina kept talking to him, trying to ease his emotions.

It was not until Hatake Sakumo walked into the ward that the two of them tactfully left, leaving this quiet space to the father and son.
