My Life as Itachi's Crow

Chapter 158: How Come You Live Like a Danzo!

A clan meeting broke up on bad terms.

The Uchiha clan meetings, apart from those nonsensical matters, when serious issues were brought up for discussion, never ended with the whole hall in delight... What's the point of holding a damn clan meeting!

Isn't it nice to just book a dessert shop and have a tea party?

Of course not... Clan meetings were a tradition of the Uchiha clan. Let alone you being Uchiha Fugaku, even if you were Uchiha Madara, you still had to hold clan meetings!

On the battlefield, they were all Uchiha with strong individualistic styles, yet in family matters, they insisted on adhering to the principle of collectivism without wavering.

Kitahara had reason to suspect, could it be because Indra greatly disliked the Sage of Six Paths unilaterally deciding on the position of heir, and thus passed down this family rule?

Back then, the group of ninja sect disciples around him had all advised the Sage of Six Paths not to abolish the primogeniture, especially since the eldest son, Indra, was outstanding in all aspects.

The Sage of Six Paths pondered. Sometimes, truth is held in the hands of the few.

Look at how lively and active the younger son is. And after going out for a trip, he comes back with a little girl. At a glance, you know he's one who can carry on the family line... quite has the style of his old man back in the day.

Then look at the elder son. Every day, besides practicing taijutsu, he's developing ninjutsu, surrounded by a group of rough old men... This branch is probably going to have its lineage cut off!

If the ninja sect is passed to the elder son, trouble will arise sooner or later.

Facts proved that the Sage of Six Paths had eaten more salt (was wiser) and had considerable foresight.

In the original world, it was indeed so…

Even though Indra's chakra reincarnated each time, it still preferred to play with boys; Asura's reincarnation, relying on beastly instinct, would always inexplicably attract romance.

The old man was very fair. He was doing it so the ninja sect could be passed down. Otherwise, the population of Asura's family would grow larger and larger. What if Indra's family only had two or three kittens? At that time, wouldn't Asura's descendants be dissatisfied with the Indra lineage, with its small population, being in power?

As the Sage of Six Paths had predicted.

Asura's descendants blossomed everywhere. They didn't even care about intermarriage outside the clan. The Senju clan and the Uzumaki clan became behemoths of the Warring States period, and this didn't even count the descendants of the branch families.

Indra's descendants for a thousand years were only the Uchiha clan... and there was never any outflow of their Kekkei Genkai.

It's estimated the only thing the Sage of Six Paths didn't foresee was that although Indra's descendants were few in number, each one was a formidable fighter, forcefully changing the landscape of the ninja world... The ninja sect perished amidst its division.

Kitahara traced the Uchiha clan's meeting system back to the origin of the Otsutsuki... After grumbling for a while, the crow flapped its wings, took flight, and grabbed its cub's shoulder.

After the clan meeting ended.

Shisui promised them that he would do his best to find ways to prevent clan members from going out, and in his Sage Mode training class, he would mention measures to deal with space-time ninjutsu.

Kitahara was very excited. Uchiha Obito's weakness being exposed to the public would surely be very interesting! As a result, this young man Shisui's first instruction was on how to deal with the Flying Thunder God Technique.

The danger of the S-rank rogue ninja Zetsu was even greater than Uchiha Obito's.

Kitahara's mood was not very good.

Because they were delayed at the Naka Shrine for some time, their return home was a little later than Fugaku's.

Uchiha Mikoto gently patted her eldest son's head, "Itachi, Fugaku-kun and Sasuke are waiting for you in the study! Hurry up! It's almost time for dinner!"

"Caw?"

"Eh? Did Sasuke do something wrong?"

Uchiha Itachi and the crow on his shoulder raised their heads at the same time. It was just that the young ninja's face was full of surprise, while the crow's eyes were full of pleasant surprise.

"I don't think so?"

Mikoto shook her head, thought for a moment, then pinched the crow's wing, "Kitahara, want to try today's dango first? They'll probably be talking for a long time!"

The crow deliberated and nodded, flying onto the housewife's shoulder.

In the study.

Uchiha Fugaku first praised his eldest son. From all aspects of feedback, Uchiha Itachi could be called his pride.

If not for the old father having a pair of Mangekyo Sharingan as a foundation, he would probably suspect his own status in Konoha was because he had a good son.

Next was a half-hour lecture for his youngest son. Because when he came home today, he found Sasuke slacking off in his taijutsu training. This was just a trivial matter... If it were before the clan meeting in the afternoon, Fugaku would also be very magnanimous, even doting on his youngest son's hard work.

But that was only an "if"…

Sasuke wasn't born a daughter, but he had the heart of a tsundere princess... The little cub wanted to be coaxed, not scolded…

His father's sternness finally made Sasuke realize his family status. At the same time, he also received a training plan from his brother's childhood.

When the father and three sons came out, Fugaku had a look of sighing at his son's failure to meet expectations, while Itachi helplessly led the teary-eyed Sasuke.

Kitahara looked at them in surprise, couldn't help but shiver, and flew to Itachi's shoulder, "Caw?"

That little brat Sasuke... finally got a beating?

Uchiha Itachi: "..."

There's no benefit in provoking Sasuke, yet you bicker with a child all day... Is it that fun? How come the crow I raised never learns its lesson!

The next morning.

Uchiha Itachi let the crow sleep in and went out alone. He was responsible for submitting the follow-up mission report after the C-rank commissioned mission.

And because Captain Asuma had resigned in shame, their peculiar ninja squad could finally continue to carry out low-level ninja missions.

In the evening, when Uchiha Itachi returned home, Fugaku seemed to be reviewing a document. Mikoto was kneeling with a worried face, and Sasuke was kneeling restlessly on the floor…

"What happened?" The young ninja scanned the room, seeming to be missing an important creature, "Where's Kitahara?"

Mikoto's brow was tightly furrowed. She rubbed her temples, "This morning, Sasuke and Kitahara went out to train together. In the evening, only Sasuke came home alone. They must have had a fight…"

The corner of Uchiha Itachi's mouth twitched slightly, "Did it run away from home?"

"...Sorry, Itachi, I've already had the Police Force look for it. If you're not at ease, you can look around the village. You're more familiar with it…"

Uchiha Fugaku instructed his eldest son to leave, then looked at his second son kneeling on the floor and threw down a piece of paper, "From now on, your training volume will follow this!"

That was a training plan that had once held the hopes of the entire clan.

Naka Shrine.

Tonight's candlelight was somewhat bright.

Several giant crows gathered together.

A man looked at the Sharingan in those crows' eyes and fell to the floor in panic, "This is a conspiracy! What 'failed to cultivate Sage Mode'! It's all fake! It's all fake! You want to turn all the clan members into crows!"

"This is not a conspiracy. Many clan members, when their Sharingan promotion is hopeless or they are unable to awaken the Sharingan, are willing to come and try this new power." Uchiha Shisui glanced at him coldly and continued, "But you are an exception!"

"We…"

The man looked at the giant crow beside him and pounced, hugging one of its wings, "Showa-kun, wake up! Uchiha Showa, wake up!"

Soon the man realized he could never let his friend return to human form. Two lines of tears gradually flowed down. The Sharingan in his eyes gradually changed, and a tomoe unknowingly appeared…

The man turned his head to look at Uchiha Shisui, seeming to understand everything, and roared regardless of anything, "Uchiha Shisui, so you and the clan head are co-conspirators…"

"You could say we're unilateral co-conspirators!" Shisui didn't directly deny it, squatting down to look directly into the man's eyes, "After all, my goal is the same as Senior Fugaku's, to allow our Uchiha clan to truly integrate into Konoha!"

The genius that the entire Uchiha clan was once proud of clenched his fist, "You are still on the wrong path, while I have already found the direction."

"What direction! You are harming the clan members!" The man quickly got up and rushed towards the shrine's wooden archway!

"Senior Taisho, the ones truly harming the Uchiha clan are you restless elements who disturb the situation!" Uchiha Shisui replied loudly, raising his hand and throwing a short sword, pinning the man's body to the ground.

After straightening the man's body, Shisui looked at the three-tomoe Sharingan in his eyes and said in a low voice to the crow on his shoulder, "Another three-tomoe…"

"Colluding with a ninja crow to do such a thing!" The man on the ground suddenly reached out and grabbed the short sword stuck in his body, about to slit his own throat, "Even in death, I will not let you succeed!"

"Senior Taisho!"

Uchiha Shisui grabbed his wrist and said calmly, "Are you sure you want to commit suicide? All the giant ninja crows here can continue to guard the Uchiha here, and can even sign summoning contracts to protect their own children…"

Clatter…

The man weakly loosened his grip, and the short sword slid to the ground. After thinking for a long while, he pursed his lips and stammered, "I don't have children…"

"..."

This was the first time encountering this, a bit tricky!

Uchiha Shisui's face didn't look good. He had experienced too few things and couldn't be ruthless towards these clan members.

After a moment, the Sharingan in Shisui's eyes turned into a pinwheel-shaped Mangekyo, "We are of the same clan. There can be no dead people at the Naka Shrine. If you don't want to become a ninja crow, I will use genjutsu to control you. After you return home, I will let you commit suicide."

"My wife is not a ninja; she is just an ordinary person…"

The man sobbed in a low voice, "I don't know how she can live in the village after losing me!"

"..."

So you still have a loved one in your heart, why did you get involved with this group of people! Don't you know that others have no such worries!

Uchiha Shisui and the crow on his shoulder exchanged a look. Before Shisui moved to the Naka Shrine, he didn't have much money left and was a poor man.

Kitahara asked doubtfully, "Caw?"

Deep love between husband and wife, let him go?

Shisui shook his head, "Impossible. Not to mention whether it's true or not, this matter absolutely cannot be spread. It seems we need some operating funds!"

Kitahara: "..."

How come every one of my own people wants money from me!

It did have ten million in private savings, but that was for great use in the future!

Now it seemed it couldn't be saved. If this situation happened again in the future, the money would definitely not be enough... This business was expensive.

The first time dealing with the hawkish Uchiha clan members, the condition Shisui proposed was to let these clan members have their own choice; he wasn't purely an evil person.

Since he had turned people into ninja crows, he certainly had to help clean up the aftermath.

"I can become a crow." The man stood up and knelt down solemnly, "As long as my wife can live out her life in peace…"

Uchiha Shisui agreed seriously.

The man, in turn, comforted him, "Shisui is actually not suitable for this kind of thing! You don't have the cruelty of a schemer, which will make your heart suffer more!"

"I will atone for my sins... The Uchiha will achieve a true revival!"

Kitahara no longer paid attention to this group of chuunibyou. Its wings flapped gently, and a stream of natural energy, like a trickling brook, entered the body of the man on the ground. Pitch-black feathers slowly spread and grew on the man's body…

Not long after, a giant crow dazedly climbed up from the ground. Blood was still dripping from its feathers, but the wounds were slowly healing.

Then the giant crow saw Shisui and the crow on his shoulder. The innate suppression made it understand the current situation. It cautiously spread its wings and retreated to the side.

Before Kitahara left, it paused and looked at Shisui, "Caw!"

Don't let the cub find out about this... After all, it's not a good thing…

"..."

It's not a good thing, so you come to me?

However, the longer he thought at the Naka Shrine, the more he seemed to figure it out. He nodded at the crow, "Even if it can't be hidden one day, this matter was led by me…"

Kitahara: "..."

So young, yet how come you live like a Danzo!
