055

Uzumaki Kushina, she is really not just talking.

She is indeed following Minato, trying to solve the problems of the Uchiha clan in her own way.

Although now in Chiba's view, the methods are a bit radical.

But this is what she did.

After all, the title of [Blood Red Pepper] is not for nothing.

She wants to help her husband fulfill Hokage's duties in a true sense as a wife.

She never doubted the candidate for Fourth Hokage.

As Nine Tails Jinchūriki can marry Namikaze Minato is the best proof.

She doesn't have to consider that her own actions will affect Namikaze Minato's upper rank Fourth Hokage. In its current form, unless Namikaze Minato is dead, Fourth Hokage cannot be someone else.

"The Fugaku patriarch, anyway… the relationship between Konoha and Uchiha, I want him to be settled here in my husband's generation."

Kushina doesn't shy away either.

She often visits the Uchiha clan, and the one she visits most is naturally her best friend's house.

Naturally, Kushina knows her best friend's husband very well.

For the Uchiha clan, she naturally knows too.

It is definitely not the impression given by the various ethnic groups in the village that strangers do not enter.

Uchiha, more amiable relatives than expected.

In fact, Kushina was not very clear about the relationship between Konoha and Uchiha.

After all, Sarutobi Hiruzen intended to support Minato's superiors but agreed to accept Uchiha as his apprentice.

Kushina realized the conflict between Chiba and Sarutobi Hiruzen during the last meeting with Chiba and the memorial.

The relationship between Konoha and Uchiha is not as simple as imagined.

However, Fugaku just shook his head.

"I think it won't be that simple!"

"I also think so!"

Chiba echoed.

Kushina looked helpless.

"Do you have so little confidence in our Minato?"

"It's not a question of confidence–"

Chiba didn't know how to speak.

The problem between Konoha and Uchiha was left over from the beginning of the village.

After Third Hokage, more than forty years of history.

Time is a terrible period.

The high-level targeting of Uchiha has become accustomed to all ethnic groups.

Even with the accumulation of time, all races have formed such an impression of Uchiha.

And such an impression cannot be changed in a short time.

more importantly.

Even if Namikaze Minato becomes Hokage, how much power can he have?

At that time, even if he has the intention, he may be powerless.(Read more @ mtlnation.com)

The political battlefield is more cruel than the real battlefield.

At this moment, Itachi, who was standing next to Fugaku, suddenly pulled the corner of his father's clothes.

"What's the matter? Itachi."

"Has the relationship between Konoha and Uchiha really reached that point?"

Hearing that, Fugaku smiled.

"Itachi, to say the least, it's not the worst."

"The current Uchiha is Konoha's Uchiha—"

"Itachi, I want to ask you a question."

At this time, Chiba thought for a while, as a friend, he still spoke.

"What's the problem? Chiba-san."

"One day, if one day… Uchiha walked on the opposite side of the village, who would you swish the butcher knife in your hand?"

Hearing this, Itachi was stunned.

Chiba suddenly offered him a choice.

Choose the village or Uchiha?

This is the choice that will be placed before him in the future in the original work, but it was mentioned by Chiba several years in advance.

So, what choice will a young itachi make?

However, it didn't wait for Itachi to answer.

With a slap, Kushina slapped Chiba on the back of the head.

"You kid, what do you do with this inexplicable question for my nephew?"

Kushina gave Chiba a white look.

Chiba didn't answer, just spoke quietly.

"You don't understand, Kushina, if your friend is deep in the dark abyss, would you choose to give him a hand?"

"Of course."

"So, your answer is–!?"

Chiba confronted Itachi.

Seeing Chiba's serious face, Itachi was silent.

Although Chiba always likes to pop some deep words in his mouth, so that he can think for a long time.

However, it seems that this time is different.

He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

"Chiba-san, would you believe me?"

"As a friend, no matter what, I will stand by your side."

Heard this answer.

Chiba froze for a moment.

"Is that right… I get it."

"So, Aunt Kushina."

Itachi looked at Uzumaki Kushina suddenly.

"Can I be your disciple?"

"Oh? Do you want to learn seal art too?"

"I want to go to the battlefield with Chiba-kun to see—"

Hearing that, Kushina glanced at Chiba weirdly, and then at Itachi.

That look is very magical.

"You guys… something is wrong."

"However, if you want to come, I don't care… The village has always been very indulgent in my organization. If you two, I think you can form a good team!"

Itachi smiled and smiled happily.

It's been a long time since I saw him smile like this.

"You can team up with Chiba-kun again."

And at this moment.

Chiba came quietly next to Itachi, and a whisper came from the corner of his mouth.

"Itachi, you know… what is the abyss I'm talking about?"

"I said, your shortcoming is that you think too much."

"When you stare at the abyss, the abyss is staring at you too. It's okay to see, but don't look too long—"

Another unclear sentence.

But this time, Itachi seemed to understand.

That was Chiba's reply to Itachi's crappy answer.

Itachi, after all, did not choose between the village and Uchiha.

In the end, the choice was handed over to Chiba.

But Itachi laughed again.

"it does not matter–"

"Because, at that time, Chiba-kun…you will give me a hand."

The current Itachi is surprisingly pure.
