Looking at the figure in front of him, Uchiha Tatsu looked surprised.
The usual Fugaku always wears a black windbreaker, his hair is very neatly styled, and he talks with a smile, but in fact he has a sense of superiority.
And now...
He looked expressionless, but his brows and eyes were full of sorrow. Moreover, he was not dressed as a ninja, but in a plain, wide kimono. What was even stranger was that his left eye was covered with a thick layer of thick bandage…
Are your eyes injured
Uchiha Chen was confused, but he did not think about Izanagi. After all, few people would use this forbidden technique unless they were in desperate situations.
Speaking of which, the two hadn't seen each other for more than ten days since their last conversation.
There were no rumors about Uchiha in the village. Likewise, Uchiha Tatsumi never saw the team escorting the Suna Ninja appear again... as if they suddenly disappeared.
Looking at the way Fugaku is dressed now, it seems that something has really happened.
Uchiha Tatsu suppressed his doubts and was about to stand up, but the young patriarch held his shoulders and did not mind the dust, but sat directly on the ground side by side.
"The sun is so warm, it's so comfortable to bask in. Why didn't I notice it before?" After a long time, Fugaku opened his exposed right eye and asked.
Uchiha Tatsumi smiled and said: "Things that are too ordinary are easily overlooked."
"Yes, especially for a family like ours that uses eyes, it is always easier to be careless than ordinary ninjas. They always like to look at the height of this mountain...
Speaking of which, I've always felt that you don't look like one of our Uchiha clansmen. Now that I think about it, it's because you don't have this or that problem. "
Uchiha Tatsumi laughed dumbly. If Fugaku was referring to Long Aotian, he was indeed an atypical Uchiha.
Fugaku continued his words: "If I could be like you, I wouldn't be like this."
Uchiha Tatsu knowingly asked: "What's wrong, the sand ninja attacked you?"
Fugaku shook his head and explained the whole thing briefly.
All in all, he didn't add any fuel to the fire, because with Uchiha Tatsu's relationship, he could find out the truth with just a little inquiry, so there was no need to play tricks on this kind of thing.
However, he did not mention Izanagi about how he escaped in the end, but was vague about it.
After hearing this, Uchiha Chen pondered for a moment and said, "How are the casualties among the clan members this time?"
"In the end, even me, only seven people escaped."
Uchiha Tatsumi shook his head: "You are too impulsive. A village like Sunagakure cannot be resisted by one clan."
"Yes, but it's too late to say this now." Fugaku's voice was bitter. "The pensions for the clan members who died in the war have been paid out. As the person responsible for this incident, I also resigned from the position of captain of the security team."
Uchiha Chen nodded and said: "Then is there anything you need me to do
Fugaku pointed to his bandaged eyes: "I had some problems with my eyes during the battle..."
"Can it be cured?"
"Yes, already blind."
Uchiha Chen frowned and said, "What if I get a new eye?"
Fugaku shook his head: "The medical ninjas in the clan said that the nerve tissue around the retina has been completely damaged, and simply replacing the eyes is no longer possible."
In fact, they also tried this method, but in the end they only wasted one Sharingan and did not recover the lost vision, otherwise Fugaku would not have found this place...
Uchiha Tatsu didn't speak, but thought for a moment.
He can now basically conclude that the young patriarch used the forbidden technique Izanagi.
If Tsunade hadn't mentioned it casually before, and the cost of Izanagi's use was too obvious, Uchiha Tatsu would really have been deceived by Fugaku...
As for why I didn't tell you anything, it was probably because I was afraid that he would raise the price and ask for this life-saving forbidden technique...
Uchiha Chen laughed in his heart, but asked calmly: "You want me to help you find Teacher Tsunade for treatment, right?"
"Yes, Tsunade cured the Hyuga clan leader some time ago. His symptoms were similar to mine. Come to think of it..."
Uchiha Chen nodded and said: "That's true, but in fact the risk is also very high, otherwise the Hyuga clan leader would not have delayed it until now."
"I'm already blind, how could I be worse?"
Uchiha Chen patted his chest and said, "Okay, leave it to me. I'll ask her, but you should have heard about it..."
Fugaku asked in confusion: "What?"
Uchiha Tatsumi sighed: "I asked her to treat Mikoto, and she charged me three hundred thousand taels!"
“…”
Uchiha Chen continued to say sadly: "I am still her apprentice, but in front of money, she disowns all her relatives!
Although Mr. Tsunade looks like a bitch, she is actually full of bad intentions and has bad medical ethics, so you'd better be mentally prepared. "
“…”
Fugaku is the young leader of the Uchiha clan, so it's not that he can't afford three hundred thousand taels, but think about it, even his apprentice, Tsunade, is cruel enough to ask for so much money, so he can't afford to give him a few mountains of gold and silver.
"Anyway, Brother Fugaku, you must explain it clearly to the clan leader."
Fugaku nodded: "I will definitely tell my father. After all, you can't get the money. In short, I am very grateful to you for helping me."
Uchiha Chen smiled: "It should, it should."
The two stood up and walked towards the outside of the training ground. When they reached the door, Fugaku took Uchiha Tatsumi's hand and said, "My father invites you to have dinner at my house the day after tomorrow. You must come."
Uchiha Chen pondered for a moment and said, "Thank you, Chief, for your kindness. I will definitely go."
Seeing that he agreed, Fugaku turned around and walked towards the clan.
…
"Young patriarch, the patriarch is already waiting in the study."
After Fugaku returned home, an Uchiha jounin approached and said this.
"Well, I'll go now." Fugaku nodded and walked straight into the house.
There was only one person in the study, Uchiha-san, who was reading books. When he saw his son walking in, he raised his head and motioned for Fugaku to sit down.
"Father." Fugaku greeted him respectfully before finding a chair and sitting down.
"How is it going?"
"Chen has already agreed, but he said that Tsunade might raise the price..."
Uchiha nodded: "As expected, Tsunade is from the Senju clan. Although she has not been influenced by the ideas of the older generation of the Warring States Period, she is not a bad person. Be prepared to bleed a lot."
Fugaku couldn't help but ask: "Then why don't you find the Third Hokage? We have suffered such a big loss this time, and it is only natural that the village should treat me..."
Uchiha-san interrupted him: "Yesterday Hiruzen Sarutobi showed me Sunagakure's accountability letter!"
"What accountability letter?"
"Sunagakure accused us of launching a sneak attack on them and breaking the signed treaty."
Fugaku said angrily: "They are a defeated country, they are worthy of blaming us!"
"Yes, Sunagakure is a defeated country and it is indeed unworthy, but how could we Uchiha not be defeated at the hands of Senju Hashirama?" Uchiha-san sat on his chair slumped.
"Otherwise, why would I be today, being manipulated by Sarutobi Hiruzen, and having his hat pulled off, I can only say nothing.
In this case, if we still want him to convince Tsunade, we can only be blackmailed more! "
Fugaku hesitated for a moment: "What if we spread the word to the village that Sunagakure is attacking us?"
"Sunagakure was just defeated by Konoha, and then we turned around and sent a wave of attacks. What do you want the other ninjas to think? They will only think that our Uchiha clan is embarrassed."
Uchiha-san stood up and walked to the window, stood with his hands behind his hands and continued: "After all, the root cause still lies with the Third Hokage. If he doesn't take the initiative to hold Sunagakure responsible, it will be useless no matter what we do."
Fugaku said angrily: "Then let the clan members die like this? Aren't we villagers of Konoha
And that Danzo Shimura, what’s going on with him? He clearly promised us that no matter what happens..."
"Snapped!"
Uchiha-san walked up to Fugaku and slapped him hard: "Don't let me hear you say such stupid things again.
You have to remember that anything anyone promises you doesn’t count, only what you can control counts! "
Fugaku covered his mouth and stared blankly at his unfamiliar father before nodding: "I remember."
After another half while, Uchiha-san looked at his seventeen-year-old son, sighed, and then said softly: "Don't think about this anymore."
"Your current identity is the young clan leader of the Uchiha clan. Even if you are blind in one eye, you are still the young clan leader of the Uchiha clan.
In the future, you will also become the leader of the largest clan in Konoha. Every move you make is related to this family. In the future, you must be more mature and stop acting rashly. "
"Yes!" Fugaku lowered his head and listened to his father's admonishment.
"Also, if Tsunade can really repair your nerves, I will transplant my left eye to you."
"What?!"
Uchiha waved his hand and said: "Don't refuse in a hurry. For our Uchiha clan, you know how important blood relations are. It was Madara who transplanted his brother's eyes and opened the Eternal Kaleidoscope.
I will never be able to open a kaleidoscope in this life, but I place my hope on you. With just a three-magatama sharingan, you may not be able to open a kaleidoscope in both eyes, but if it is my eyes, I think the impact will not be big.
And I'm already old and don't need to go out to fight anymore, but you are still young now. "
Fugaku knelt on the ground, tears welling up like a fountain: "Father, I will definitely open the Mangekyō Sharingan and regain the glory of our Uchiha clan."
Uchiha-san laughed and said, "I believe that, after all, you are my son."
Fugaku wiped his tears and said: "Then what should you do? Our clan still has backup Sharingan, why not..."
"Just leave me alone, I have my own arrangements."
Uchiha-san touched his left eye and showed a strange smile.
