My Life as Itachi's Crow

Chapter 105: The Village Doesn't Need Our Protection

Uchiha Shisui made a huge mistake.

Before he attempted to use the Mangekyo Sharingan's Kotoamatsukami ocular jutsu to change Fugaku's will, he must have felt a sense of unrivaled loneliness, and exposed the intelligence of his own ocular jutsu…

The Uchiha, more or less, have inherited some form of "showing-off jutsu" from their predecessors. Even the Fugaku father and son were no exception. The one who ultimately brought this 100% negative flag to its peak…

Was the little cub at home.

Say the harshest words, take the most vicious beating… A bunch of chuunibyou!

Shisui's result was no exception.

Fugaku's understanding of Sharingan ocular jutsu was extremely profound. He instantly activated Susanoo. After all, who knew how many Mangekyo abilities he knew. The strange and varied ocular jutsus made even the Uchiha clan members themselves feel it was incredible!

Utilizing the power of Susanoo, as long as he didn't look directly at Shisui's Sharingan, Fugaku was virtually invincible... The "showing-off jutsu" inherited in the old father's bones also acted up…

Actually, this was understandable. He had been questioned by his clan for so long and was unwilling to reveal the secret of his Mangekyo Sharingan... Since he had already used it in front of Shisui, of course, he had to fiercely boast about his own efforts!

Unfortunately, what Fugaku didn't expect was that Shisui would forcibly enhance his ocular power to open Susanoo. The battle that could have been easily resolved became a stalemate, until Kitahara's arrival stopped their fight.

It's easy to be low-key for a moment, but it's hard to be low-key for a lifetime!

The old father had truly capsized in a gutter…

The story of the old father and Shisui tonight had its twists and turns... Although not as good as the little cub's fancy ways of courting death and getting beaten, it was still very exciting.

Shisui hid his Mangekyo Sharingan for a similar reason as Fugaku. They didn't want the clan to know, because two pairs of Mangekyo were enough to drive the hawk faction within the clan crazy.

Now it's good…

Apart from the defected Uchiha Obito outside, the owners of three pairs of Mangekyo Sharingan were all here, and two of the hidden ones could even use the ultimate ocular jutsu, Susanoo…

Noticing that Itachi's mood was not right, the crow stretched out its wing and stroked its own cub's head, cawing compassionately, "Caw…"

Now you know there are people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens?

Don't be sad, with me here, you are still the number one master of the Uchiha.

Uchiha Itachi was caught between laughter and tears. His anxious mood was instantly eased by the crow's meaning, "Kitahara... When have I ever cared about those issues!"

Seeing the cub's uneasy emotions ease, the crow then looked at Uchiha Shisui. The Mangekyo Sharingan in his eyes had long since receded to three tomoe... It was a bit of a headache!

An ocular jutsu like Kotoamatsukami, which could permanently change a person's will without a sound, was far too terrifying... The fact that Shisui wanted to use it on Fugaku was something Kitahara found somewhat intolerable…

"Caw!"

The crow's crimson eyes fearlessly stared directly into Shisui's eyes. The price of forcibly using Susanoo was severe consumption of ocular power…

Even Fugaku, who had researched the Mangekyo Sharingan almost to its limits, couldn't maintain the Mangekyo's activation after using Susanoo.

Uchiha Itachi was silent for a moment, then walked to his friend's side, translating the crow's words, "Shisui... did the Third Hokage instruct you to do this?"

"Itachi, it was my own idea."

Shisui shook his head with a bitter smile, "Lord Hokage doesn't know about me awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan. I haven't decided whether to report it to him yet..."

"But after today's clan meeting, I have already found a way to stop the clan from launching a coup, and that is by changing Senior Fugaku's will..."

Uchiha Itachi interrupted him, "Shisui, have you thought about dealing with those people in the clan? Have you thought about how to resolve the conflict between the village and the clan?"

"..."

Uchiha Shisui was speechless for a moment, then lowered his head and said in a low voice, "At least this is the fastest way to stop the bloodshed!"

"But Dad..."

The youth turned his head and glanced at his father, who was recovering his energy, "...will be blamed by more and more clan members, until he is forced to leave the clan grounds, and even leave the village..."

This was the biggest loophole in Uchiha Shisui's plan.

Even if he used Kotoamatsukami to solve the problem for a while, he was shifting a greater future burden back onto Fugaku's shoulders. Their family would sooner or later be drowned in the clan's rumors and gossip.

Until they become like Senior Kakashi Hatake's father...

"I will help Senior Fugaku handle it."

"That kind of ocular jutsu... can't be used frequently, right? Besides, that's not Dad's true will, it's something you forcibly imposed on him!"

Uchiha Itachi held the crow in his arms and sat cross-legged in front of Shisui, soothing the crow's emotions. Kitahara had mentioned the drawbacks of his Mangekyo Sharingan…

The pair of childhood companions fell silent.

Uchiha Shisui pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked up, "Itachi! I've always had a question I wanted to ask you, can you tell me? A village, a clan, in your heart, which one is more important?!"

"Caw!"

Kitahara's feathers instantly bristled!

Itachi quickly grabbed its wings and held it back in his arms, saying coldly, "Konoha's weight is indeed more important. If the Uchiha clan wants to destroy all of Konoha, I will do everything in my power to stop them and prevent anyone from being sacrificed!"

"But!"

"If Konoha can't even find a way to accommodate an Uchiha who helped found it," Uchiha Itachi's emotions gradually calmed down, and he said softly, "I want to protect it, but it doesn't seem to want my protection, does it?"

The crow really wanted to praise its cub. Beautifully said! Actually, it itself didn't know when its cub had developed this kind of thinking…

But it was not in vain that it had raised the cub from the age of four until today!

"..."

Uchiha Shisui's eyes gradually dimmed. The idea he had been exposed to since childhood was always to do whatever it takes to protect the village.

The theory Uchiha Itachi proposed was something he had never thought of. He had many points he wanted to refute, such as Konoha's leadership was changing, and that this coup was initiated by the Uchiha…

However, the most ironic thing was…

Shisui himself was a spy planted by Konoha in the Uchiha clan. He had even been ordered by Danzo to monitor Uchiha Itachi's every move at the clan meeting.

Konoha's leadership had never truly trusted the Uchiha clan.

He had already made his decision.

Death could also be an escape from everything…

Uchiha Shisui suddenly said, "Give me a kunai!"

Uchiha Itachi said nothing, lowered his head, took out a kunai, and handed it to Shisui. From the day he became a ninja, he had already thought about the question of death…

No, it should have been from the day he witnessed the Shinobi World War.

It was just that today, it was his friend's turn…

A hand stained with blood stopped their exchange. Fugaku had appeared behind his son at some point and took the kunai from Itachi's hand.

"After awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan, it's inevitable to feel like there's something wrong with your vision!"

The old father raised his hand and threw away the kunai, looking down at the stunned Shisui and grinning, "If you consider yourself Itachi's friend, then don't make his future life too painful!"

His son had already safely passed the most important threshold for the Uchiha clan; how could he let him be shadowed by such a thing!

The youth raised his head, stunned for a moment. As if understanding the meaning of "father" for the first time as a child, tears gradually welled up in his eyes, "Dad..."

"Itachi, you're already a man, you can't cry..."

Uchiha Fugaku bent down and wiped away his son's tears with his thumb, "I'm so sorry! My son is the most outstanding in the entire ninja world, but I am not an outstanding father!"

Although it was very touching, Kitahara really wanted to complain, "..."

In the entire ninja world, from ancient times to the present, when it comes to being a good father, there seem to be few who can even hold a candle to Fugaku!

"Shisui, after I've truly talked with the Third Hokage, we'll decide how to deal with you!" Uchiha Fugaku stood up, looking at the two figures leaping over!

Lord Hokage, what a tough job…
