The Strongest Uchiha - Volume 1 Chapter 4 Meeting
Itsu appeared in his room after using flying raijin to teleport from the hokage’s office, step one of his plan to save his clan had been complete and now he was on step two.
He walked downstairs to see his parents spending some intimate time together, if it was a normal day he would have allowed them to continue but this was important. “Mom, Dad?”
Both his parents looked towards the doorway to see their son standing there with some paper in his hands, “Mother, father I have something important that I need your help to achieve”
Itsu said this with a serious expression on his face, both his parents turned towards him and showed that they were ready to hear about what their son wanted to do, Itsu handed over the papers to his father for him to read.
“What is this Itsu?” His mother asked while looking at the papers in her husbands hands, “This is an agreement signed by the third hokage that shows he wants to improve relationsh.i.p.s with the clan, he has even agreed to move the clan compound closer the the centre of the village which shows he is serious about this”
After hearing what his son had said his father looked at him with a serious expression “The third wouldn’t agree to these terms so easily and with nothing in return, so what did you give him”
After hearing that Itsu crossed his arms and answered with a blank expression “If you read the agreement in exchange for the third moving the compound closer to the centre of the village I will try to make the clan elders trust the hokage and he will also train me as his disciple”
“This way the tension between our clan and the village will hopefully diminish as it would only be a matter of time before the situation turned into something serious”, after saying that Itsu thought about how his clan would be massacred if he could not calm the clan elders growing anger towards the village.
“I wish to meet the clan elders and the clan head Fugaku Uchiha and show them the agreement and explain the situation” Itsu’s father’s expression didn’t change, “Itsu the third hokage isn’t going to train you just because he feels like it, he most likely is training you so that your talents and abilities can be used for the village, are you sure about this?”
Itsu nodded his head. “This was the best possible outcome, the Uchiha clan would gain respect and prestige when it is known that one of the children in the clan is being personally trained by the hokage, this would raise the opinion of our clan in the minds of our peers, don’t worry father I will make the Uchiha clan the most respected clan in the village”
His father sighed, he couldn’t think of a better way to help the clan, the best plan was definitely the one that his son had suggested, he got up from his seat and spoke “Follow me I will take you to the clan head and show him the agreement and help you explain the situation”
Itsu didn’t say anything but he just followed his father as he led him to the clan head, his mother had decided to stay at home. Itsu and his father arrived at a large building with the clan symbol on the top, the guards around the building walked up to him and his father “Halt state your business in coming here”
His father looked at the guards and kept a calm expression on his face. “I have come to show the clan elders a written agreement signed by the hokage himself about helping our clan”
After the guards heard that they moved out of their way but one followed behind them to make sure that they weren’t causing any trouble, after walking through the large building the arrived at a large hall that barely had any lights inside, it was difficult to see in this lighting, “State your business quickly” both Itsu and his father looked towards where the voice came from and saw Fugaku Uchiha sitting with his legs crossed in the middle of the hall.
“Sir I have come to show you an agreement that the third hokage has given to our clan” Itsu’s father spoke while handing over the agreement to the clan head, Fugaku took the agreement and read it, after finishing he merely stared at Itsu, his eyes full of curiosity, “As the clan head I would like to personally thank you Itsu Uchiha, after being moved to the outskirts of the village our clan has been suppressing a lot of hostility towards the village and if a solution didn’t come soon then there would be not telling what might have happened”
Itsu new exactly what would have happened if he didn’t do what he had done, the Uchiha clan would be on the brink of extinction “You don’t have to thank me, I was merely doing what I must for the clan, I know that the solution that I have given won’t completely appease everyone in the clan, but give me time and I will make the Uchiha the most respected clan in the village”
Fugaku didn’t answer Itsu instead he looked at his father, “Kando, you have raised an excellent son” Fugaku looks back at Itsu and continues speaking “I accept your proposal, I will make sure that the Uchiha don’t do anything hostile and I will give you time to raise our reputation in the village”
After hearing that Itsu was happy, he was about to leave before he was stopped. “Since you will be trained by the third himself I also think that it would be appropriate for me to also train you, this is not up for discussion I am merely informing you of my decision”
After hearing that Itsu was shocked, but he wasn’t upset being trained by the third and also the head of his clan would only be beneficial for his growth, “Thank you for this opportunity sir” Itsu and his father bowed to Fugaku and then left the building since they had finished their business.
While walking back to their home his father spoke up “You do realise that just like the third hokage Fugaku isn’t training you just because he feels I like it, it is a tradition in our clan for potential successors to the Uchiha clan to be trained by the current clan head”
This surprised Itsu, he didn’t know that such a tradition existed, “I thought that the clan heads first born would inherit the clan” Itsu’s father shook his head and answered his son “No the clan head can choose who inherits the clan and the head only trains potential candidates for the position so not only will you be trained by the third hokage but you’ve also become the next potential head of our clan”
His father sighed ever since his son had been born all he has done is continued to surprise him in different ways, he has desolated talent unlike anything he has ever seen and intelligence that could outsmart a jonin, his sons potential seems limitless
