Upon closer inspection, it became evident that these two summoned beasts bore a striking resemblance. This unprecedented encounter marked Fugaku's first foray into naruto world, facing adversaries of such intimidating aggression.
The ninjas fled under the wolf's cover, Fugaku prepared to employ a Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique to swiftly eliminate the two wolves and catch up with them.
He felt a mysterious disdain for these wolves in his heart, without understanding why.
"Take this!" Fugaku yelled as a sudden surge of energy from from within him. The power rippled outwards like a silent shockwave, expanding in all directions. The two wolves, who had been staring at him intently, were overpowered by this unseen force. Their bodies collapsed, writhing in agony on the ground.
"Could it be… Conqueror's Haki?"
Fugaku wondered aloud. He had some knowledge of One Piece, and he wondered if he had the Color of the Supreme King Haki, Haoshoku Haki, that could dominate and intimidate others with his willpower. He had seen it work on animals before, making them fearful or docile, and sometimes knocking them out.
The ninjas who had fled earlier felt the force behind them. They turned around and saw two wolves kneeling before Fugaku. They were shocked and stopped in their tracks.
Fugaku ignored the ninjas. He closed his eyes and felt his own body. He opened his eyes and locked his gaze on the two giant wolves. He walked towards them without thinking.
The wolves, upon seeing Fugaku approaching and panicked. As the distance between them dwindled, They tried to get up but failed.
They vanished in a puff of white smoke, leaving only a stench and a stain.
"What is this…" Fugaku muttered: "Is it not haki, but bloodline suppression…"
He recalled the theory of bloodline suppression, The higher creatures can intimidate the lower ones with their presence, like a tiger facing a rabbit. This is the primal fear of animals, and with his presence, he can also intimidate them at will.
How remarkable. Huh I wonder, would it affect humans too? or How about the tailed beasts?
As Fugaku was lost in thought, an owl flew towards him. He recognized it as the one he used to communicate with Akihiko. He took the owl and removed the letter from its leg. Fugaku's brow furrowed.
"What? The Third Hokage summons me? Has it been half a year already? And this… my son is due soon?"
---------------------------
Three days later, on the streets of Konoha Village.
two girls were engrossed in conversation. One was a striking redhead, the other girl with a visibly swollen belly.
kushina turned to Mikoto and asked, "Mikoto, your husband left you pregnant and alone for most of the year. Why are you so calm about it?"
kushina was unhappy for her friend She thought that if Minato did that to her, she would blow up.
Mikoto smiled: "It's okay, I can understand…" Even though she said that, she still felt sour in her heart. But she had no choice, because Fugaku told her when he left that it was for the clan! Even though she didn't get why Fugaku did this, she decided to back him up quietly.
"What is there to understand? This is simply unforgivable," Kushina exclaimed.
"What's unforgivable?" Fugaku asked as he appeared suddenly and caught the attention of the group. Kushina was embarrassed and quickly changed the subject. "Oh, Fugaku have you eaten?"
Fugaku shook his head helplessly. He didn't want to leave his pregnant wife alone for so long, but he had to hone his abilities and unfortunately lost track of time.
Mikoto was overjoyed to see Fugaku and quickly walked up to him, taking his arm. "When did you come back? Why didn't you tell me before?" she asked, ignoring Kushina's presence.
Fugaku smiled, gently touching Mikoto's belly and feeling the connection of their bloodline. He spoke slowly, "I didn't want you to come all the way to the village entrance to pick me up. It's quite far."
Kushina interjected, "As far as you could talk...."
Seeing the flirtatious exchange between Mikoto and Fugaku, Kushina couldn't help but feel exasperated. She felt like a third wheel in their blossoming romance.
"Mikoto, please head home. I'll head to the Hokage's office and come back later to cook for us."
"Would you like me to go grocery shopping?" Mikoto offered.
"No need, let Megumi handle it," replied Fugaku.
Had it not been for the Uchiha clan's grudge with the Senju clan, Fugaku believed the position of patriarch would have been quite comfortable.
Fugaku suspected that the moment he entered the village, someone had already alerted the higher-ups in Konoha. Therefore, he strode towards the Hokage's office with purpose.
The peace of Konoha Village made him feel a little more emotional, and now he remembers how he felt when he first pushed open Uchiha's door,
"Fugaku-sama…" A young man with a needle in his mouth stood at the foot of the Hokage Building. He spotted Fugaku approaching and quickly saluted him.
Fugaku nodded: "Genma, lead the way." He was aware that Genma, a mere twelve-year-old, was already a Hokage Guard. He was a renowned shinobi, but Fugaku didn't care much about him. He felt the same aloofness as when he witnessed Uchiha clan member.
