"Do you wish I had taken your mother's situation seriously?"

Fugaku, who had just finished washing up and was about to go to bed, suddenly fell silent after hearing Itachi's thoughts.

After a long time, he sighed, "Actually, I value her. ”

Hearing this answer, Itachi was stunned.

My father didn't reprimand him as he imagined.

He actually ...... Want to explain it to yourself?

"Your mother is the best person I've ever met in my life, and I'm so happy to have a family with her."

But Fu Yue didn't stop because of the change in his demeanor, and continued, "But as the head of the clan, I can't let go of the things in the clan because of her. ”

After a pause, after remembering his son's maturity far beyond that of children of the same age, he explained: "You should have heard more or less about the recent events in the village, the land of fire and the country of earth signed a peace treaty. ”

"And because of this treaty, many people in the village believe that the act of slashing the ape is a betrayal of the souls who died in the war, so they may be forced to take the blame and be dismissed."

"Nowadays, there are many people in the village who plan to compete for the position of this fourth-generation goal."

"And the clan is also ready to move, they want to elect me to the throne."

"These restless guys don't understand that I can't sit in that seat."

Speaking of this, Fuyue looked at the Itachi opposite, "Itachi, do you know why?" ”

He wanted to take this opportunity to expand the pattern of the ferret.

Lest you be short-sighted like those people outside!

Itachi hesitated for a moment, and when facing his father's expectant gaze, he unconsciously did something contrary to his usual behavior, and replied seriously:

"Because our Uchiha people can't sit in that seat."

"If we show the idea of competition, the other people who are in competition will immediately turn the finger around and turn the knife at us."

"Fighting for this position is not a good thing for us, it only adds to the burden."

His words made Fu Yue, who originally planned to educate his son well, stunned.

And even beside her, Artoria's gaze became a little subtle.

"Then tell me about the specific reasons."

The gentle look on Fu Yue's face suddenly stiffened, and he continued to ask, "How did you come to this conclusion?" ”

Could it be that someone deliberately said something in front of the ferret?

"Hokage, as the king of the entire Konoha, needs to think and judge from Konoha's point of view."

Now that they have already spoken, Itachi doesn't mind saying more, "And as a family with a blood lineage, neither the father nor anyone else can abandon the concept of the family and abandon selfishness. ”

"A person who has selfish intentions and is likely to seek personal interests for his family and himself is unlikely to sit in that position."

"So whether it's for pretense or sincerity."

"If you want to be in that position, at least you can't have any family and personal concepts on the surface, but you can only be a person who is Konoha and centered on the overall situation."

As a child, although I never had the opportunity to touch the core of Konoha, I never went to school to receive the influence of Konoha culture.

But this does not prevent the Itachi from learning about these things from the bits and pieces of life and making judgments.

From the big picture that Artoria has always emphasized, Itachi can clearly understand that a superior person should think from the perspective of family, village, and country according to his own position, detached from his personal perspective.

And from the attitude of his father and the clan, it can be seen that the Uchiha is not a family that can abandon personal concepts and fully integrate into the Konoha culture.

That being the case, the position of the Hokage has nothing to do with the Uchiha.

And about this, Hinata seems to be similar to them, who is also a wealthy Konoha clan.

"These thoughts...... Did you think of it yourself? ”

Fu Yue's eyes were full of brilliance.

Itachi had too many surprises for him today.

Not only does he rely on his own efforts to temper his body so well by practicing alone, but even his calm posture during battle is a condition for forbearance.

In addition, now there are eyes, thoughts, and wisdom...... Do you want to surprise yourself?

"My father, as the patriarch, didn't have the time and energy to stay at home and take care of my mother, and I can understand that."

Itachi didn't answer Fugaku's question much, but asked about his mother again, "But I want to help take care of it, why does my father want to stop me on the grounds of cultivation." ”

"In terms of age, I'm only five years old, and I'm still a year away from officially attending ninja school."

"This way, I can adjust and use my time in a more appropriate place at this stage, which is to take care of my mother."

"As for ninjutsu, when my younger brother is born and the time is free, it's not too late for me to learn it."

Fu Yue's originally excited expression paused, and explained in a deep voice: "Because you are my son. ”

"With the talent you are showing now, there is a high probability that my position as the patriarch will be inherited by you in the future, so ...... Strength is an indispensable condition. ”

"The sooner you have the strength to become the patriarch, the sooner I can nominate you in the clan council, so that you can officially become a candidate."

Patriarchal candidates?

Itachi paused for a moment, then replied:

"But more than the patriarch, I want our family to be healthy."

"Compared to the patriarch mentioned by my father, when my mother said that I was going to be an older brother, the idea that I wanted to protect my younger brother and protect my family was more real."

"I don't want to practice to become a patriarch, I just want to practice to protect my family."

At least...... When Artoria brought up the big picture, when his father mentioned the patriarch, he didn't have the slightest idea in his heart that he wanted to be strong for it.

And when he said this, Itachi did not dare to observe Artoria next to him.

He found himself a little afraid of facing her gaze.

She was able to ask for her guidance because Artoria felt like her.

When my father was busy, I wanted to find someone to guide my practice.

And Artoria wants to be a better king than her.

In this way, the ideas of the two coincide.

And judging from the current situation, I am completely different from her on this road.

"You ......"

Faced with such an unenterprising son, Fu Yue's face turned cold, and he was just about to reprimand something.

But soon, under Itachi's calm gaze, he paused.

"Your mother doesn't need your care, she came alone when she was pregnant with you."

Fu Yue took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart, "Don't underestimate your mother, she was the one who went to the battlefield with me at the beginning, even if she is now a housewife, she has not forgotten her ability to be a ninja." ”

"Compared to you accompanying her, she hopes that you will not delay your cultivation and adapt to the identity of a ninja as soon as possible."

"It's her idea, and it's mine."

As he spoke, he stood up, "I'll take a morning off tomorrow morning and wait for you at home." ”

"If you want to learn ninjutsu, you can come to me."

"But if you think your mother needs your care, don't come."
