Chapter 376 Warning and Encouragement
The severe cold of winter gradually fades away, and the warm breath comes. Everything seemed to wake up overnight, and the passage of time quietly unfolded in the landscape of Konoha.
In the morning of early spring, the sun shines on the earth through thin clouds, painting the silent wooden leaves with a golden light. The snow gradually melted in the sunshine and formed a stream, flowing in the valley, making a gurgling sound. The coldness of winter is gradually replaced by the warm spring breeze
The breeze caressed my cheeks, bringing a hint of warmth.
As time goes by, spring is getting stronger. The dead branches began to sprout buds, swaying gently in the spring breeze. The green leaves gradually grew lush, covering the originally bare branches. The wild flowers blooming along the roadside add a touch of color to the leaves.
The seasons turn, and the passage of time makes the world a better place.
"Have you really decided?"
In Uchiha Fugaku's mansion, Fugaku, who was sitting in the main seat, looked at Toshiro, who kept a faint smile, and the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.
"Ah! I've decided, after all, this is my dream!"
"..."
What a bullshit dream, isn't it just that you want to imitate Jiraiya and wander outside without ever returning?
It was really hard for him to imagine that there was such a strange person like Toshiro in his family, and he even told him that he wanted to take a trip at the drop of a hat.
It's just nonsense.
After being exposed by himself, he shamelessly admitted it.
"Then...the Hokage's side..."
"Don't worry! That old man is very evil. He might wish I had died outside!"
He picked up the tea in his hand and blew on it. He had to admit that the tea made by Mrs. Mikoto was quite good.
"I think not only the Hokage, but also the Fugaku clan leader wishes I could leave Konoha as soon as possible!"
Putting down the tea cup in his hand, Toshiro looked at Uchiha Fugaku with a very calm expression.
"Did you get discovered by Toshiro?"
Sighing, Fugaku didn't refute.
As Toshiro became stronger and stronger, the restless guys in the family became more and more active, and he was always trembling with fear whenever clan meetings were held regularly.
I'm afraid that if one thing is not handled well, unnecessary conflicts will break out between the family and the village.
"Clan Chief Fugaku, I don't object to your idea of getting closer to the village, but I want to remind you of a few points."
After these years of contact, Toshiro also knew that the clan leader Uchiha Fugaku was actually an Uchiha with the "Will of Fire".
He really didn't know how to complain.
In this way, it makes sense that it would behave like that in the original work.
"How do you say something like 'The Will of Fire'!"
"It is understandable for a ninja to believe in the will of fire when he was young. On the contrary, it can prove that he is a kind and reliable child."
"However, if you still believe this when you reach the age of the patriarch, it will only prove that the patriarch is still too naive!"
"Don't watch what the Sandaime Hokage says, watch what he does!"
"Is... Toshiro so defensive about the Sandaime?"
"Ah! As the Hokage, although I don't like some of the things he does, I have to admit that there is a certain reason for what he does."
"But, after all, I am not Hokage, so I should be on guard against him."
Having said this, Toshiro looked at Fugaku with a serious expression.
"On the other hand, if you, especially your eldest son, get too close to the Hokage, you may become a sharp blade aimed at our Uchiha in the future."
"What are you going to do then?"
"Don't worry Toshiro, this kind of thing will never happen!"
"Itachi is a smart boy and will definitely become the pride of the family in the future!"
Fugaku was shocked when he heard Toshiro's warning, but he didn't think his son had any reason to do this, so he quickly defended his son.
"I hope so!"
Back at home, Toshiro sat on the sofa in his living room and began to think.
With its own existence, is there any possibility that another genocide will break out in a few years?
After a long time, Toshiro, who found nothing, looked towards the direction of his own door.
There, fourteen-year-old Uchiha Shisui walked in.
"Senior Toshiro, I wonder why you came to see me?"
As soon as he entered the door, Shisui bowed very respectfully, then sat on the sofa opposite Toshiro and looked at Toshiro quietly.
"Shisui, have you ever thought about becoming Hokage?"
Seeing his outstanding junior, Toshiro didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point and asked his question.
"…What?"
Just as he picked up the tea on the coffee table, Shisui could hardly believe his ears when he heard Toshiro's words.
"It seems you have never thought about this before!"
Seeing Shisui's expression, Toshiro didn't know that Shisui didn't even have this idea in his mind.
"Shisui, among the juniors of the Hokage line, except for Kakashi Hatake, there are no outstanding figures at all. If you intend to develop in this area, there are still some opportunities, why don't you consider it?"
"You should also know about the conflicts between the family and the village. If you become Hokage, these problems will be solved!"
Looking at Shisui, Toshiro had no intention of giving up just like that. The other party was different from him, and he had no intention of developing in this direction at all.
But Shisui is different. He is a person with ideals and ambitions. The position of Hokage is very suitable for him.
His slightly upturned eyes were widened, his iconic nose was slightly wrinkled, and the corners of his mouth, which were always smiling, were unconsciously opened.
Even his usually clear eyes now revealed shock and confusion.
"What, you don't want to think about it?"
Toshiro didn't intend to stop speaking. Looking at Shisui who was already a little down, he continued:
"Isn't your dream all along to protect everyone in the village and protect the name of Uchiha?"
"To protect these, what better way to display your ambitions than the position of Hokage?"
The other party is different from a salty fish like himself. He has seen everything the other party has done over the years. He can be called a 'good boy' who has fully understood the 'will of fire'.
"Could it be that... Shisui's dreams over the years... are just talk?"
"Or, you have never thought about becoming Hokage yourself, protecting the villagers in the village, and protecting the glory of Uchiha!!"
At this moment, Shisui really didn't know how to answer Toshiro's question. What the other party said was completely beyond his expectation, making him unable to recover for a moment.
