Chapter 58: and translation of chapter title

Uchiha Fugaku?

Hearing that name, Yuzhi's originally good mood vanished instantly.

He knew that bastard was taking his eldest son to the front lines, racking up merits for himself while also grinding experience for his eldest son.

This time Yuzhi came not only because he was familiar with the environment of Grass Country, but also because he had rich combat experience in Mist Village.

There was also the factor that Uchiha Fugaku wanted to run for Hokage to ease internal clan tensions.

Although this conflict had been secretly stirred up by Yuzhi.

Yuzhi never expected to meet this guy here, especially since this old lunatic brought along a little lunatic.

After all, their previous interactions were far from pleasant, after all he had actively pushed himself onto the battlefield.

What left Yuzhi helpless was that, even though he had long held the idea that 'a true man born between heaven and earth should not linger in obscurity,'

But this guy is still the Clan Leader of the Uchiha for now; even if he has the Mangekyou Sharingan, Uchiha Fugaku very likely has it too!

Moreover, at this stage he hasn't planned to reveal this, after all Leaf Village has always been wary of the Uchiha clan.

Moreover, who knows if Leaf Village has any countermeasures against the Mangekyou Sharingan?

The creator of the 'evil Uchiha brat,' Senju Tobirama, this guy once killed an Uchiha who possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan, Uchiha Izuna.

Moreover, during his tenure he has consistently worked to prevent the emergence of another Madara Uchiha, so he has never ceased his research on the Uchiha and the Sharingan.

Who knows what he might have left behind for dealing with the Mangekyou Sharingan; even if he cultivated a talent who could stab Susanoo with a kunai.

After settling Hikari, Yuzhi followed Uchiha Lan all the way to Uchiha Fugaku's station.

After all, this guy is the Clan Leader; his treatment is far beyond what an ordinary ninja could expect—he has his own tent, and the environment is much better than elsewhere.

Yuzhi-kun, you've come.

Upon entering the tent, Uchiha Fugaku's somewhat hearty voice rang out.

Looking around, the tent wasn't just him; his eldest son, Itachi Uchiha, was also here!

At this time, Itachi Uchiha appeared to be only four or five years old, yet this kid bore the demeanor of a miniature adult.

He simply sat quietly at the side, watching the two without uttering a word.

Clan Leader.

Yuzhi withdrew his gaze, no longer looking at Itachi Uchiha, and then gave Uchiha Fugaku a slight nod.

But that was all; his attitude still appeared as indifferent as ever.

Please, have a seat.

Uchiha Fugaku had no dissatisfaction whatsoever; he kept his smile.

Unfortunately this isn't the clan grounds; otherwise I would bring out the finest tea leaves to entertain our hero.

Thank you, Clan Leader, but Elder ChaNa also once invited me for tea; sadly I'm too young to appreciate the taste of tea.

Yuzhi naturally understood Uchiha Fugaku's implication, but he ultimately politely declined the invitation.

But at this moment Yuzhi also grew curious: what did Uchiha Fugaku mean by that?

After all, on the surface he is a person of Uzhibo ChaNa.

Perhaps it's truly because I'm too young to taste the tea; I was being presumptuous.

Uchiha Fugaku's smile faded slightly; after a moment's contemplation he continued speaking.

However, Yuzhi-kun, you are really too outstanding, which makes me slightly overlook you.

Whether it was the previous mission or this one, you performed exceptionally; even Minato couldn't praise you enough.

If it weren't for Minato Jonin's rescue in the last mission, I probably wouldn't have made it back.

Yuzhi glanced at Uchiha Fugaku; he knew the main event was about to begin.

Yuzhi-kun, the clan and the village are forever one entity.

As expected, Uchiha Fugaku spoke in a deep voice.

When the village faces trouble, the clan naturally won't fare well either; I hope Yuzhi-kun can understand.

For the sake of the village and clan, didn't that child Obito also rush onto the battlefield?

It's a shame; that child remains forever on this land.

These words made Yuzhi fall into a slight silence; he now somewhat understood why Uchiha Fugaku had sought him out this time.

But deep down he felt a bit strange—finding the culprit by seeking someone, isn't that a bit too unlucky?

Indeed, Obito is too much of a loss.

Although Yuzhi felt odd inside, he still nodded.

However, sacrificing for the clan and village, Obito is glorious.

Uchiha Fugaku sighed, then put on a serious face and spoke.

I believe his will shall continually inspire us, guiding us to forge ahead, right?

You know, not long ago this guy and I had a fight.

Uchiha Fugaku's words were noble and righteous, but Yuzhi couldn't help wanting to retort inside.

I think, it will be.

Although his inner feeling was especially strange, Yuzhi, accustomed to talking nonsense, still blurted it out.

Yeah, it will be.

Such an attitude also left Uchiha Fugaku satisfied.

Yuzhi-kun, I have always believed that Obito and you are both role models of the clan and heroes of the village.

Although Obito has passed, I still feel that his will needs to be respected and upheld.

Even if he has done some things that deviate from the orthodox path.

Having finished speaking, Uchiha Fugaku silently gazed at Yuzhi.

Not only him, but even Itachi Uchiha's gaze from beside also looked over.

Itachi Uchiha only half-understood the conversation between his father and Yuzhi.

However, he had been strictly taught since childhood, knowing what to ask and what not to ask.

Moreover, his father also taught him to learn to think things through on his own.

Therefore he also became accustomed to keeping things in his heart and pondering them himself.

Yuzhi looked at the gaze of this odd father-son pair, and he couldn't help feeling a bit amused.

Things turned out just as he had guessed; he couldn't help but sigh again, "Uchiha Fugaku really is a genius!"

"I agree with the Clan Leader's words; heroes need to be respected."

Yuzhi's heart was full of amusement, but he still spoke solemnly.

"Just Clan Leader, I am merely a Chunin; even if I am fortunate enough to be valued by Elder ChaNa and allowed to participate in the clan meeting."

"But my age is young, my experience insufficient; no matter what I think, it probably won't have any influence."

"Yuzhi has already reached Three Tomoe; I think you should need more resources."

Uchiha Fugaku frowned slightly upon hearing that, especially upon hearing the name of Uzhibo ChaNa.

"The elder's authority may not be enough, but I think I can do something, after all you are the family's future."

Moreover, continuing as a Chunin is not suitable for you; after returning, I will recommend you take the Jonin examination.

"Yuzhi, perhaps last time I didn't respect your wishes and assigned you a mission."

"For this I am sorry, but as Clan Leader I have more to consider; I hope Yuzhi can understand my meaning."

"After all, Minato once said, you are a smart child, smart in all aspects."

Wealth and honor lick middle seek, I of course understand.

Yuzhi shook his head in his heart; now he also understood something.

I'm afraid even if Uchiha Fugaku went to the battlefield, things wouldn't go smoothly; the side of Uzhibo ChaNa is pressing tightly.

Otherwise, such a situation wouldn't appear.

"Clan Leader, you overpraise me; I am merely an ordinary Uchiha who fights for glory."

Yuzhi lightly shook his head, and his expression became much more serious.

"Heroes are indeed worthy of respect, but some matters may only have answers after returning to the village."

"Perhaps; it seems I was a bit impatient."

Uchiha Fugaku's expression shifted slightly, but soon he showed a smile.

"Then, I will prepare tea and discuss in detail later; Yuzhi may try tasting tea."

"After all, in tea one can experience the myriad flavors of the world."

"I think I will."

Yuzhi nodded, then stood up.

"Then I will take my leave, Clan Leader."

Uchiha Fugaku nodded slightly, maintaining his smile as he saw Yuzhi off.

But only when Yuzhi left did his smile gradually fade.

"Itachi, what do you think of him?"

After a while, he suddenly spoke to Itachi beside him, asking.

"Father, although I don't really understand what you're saying, but"

Itachi Uchiha thought for a moment, then answered.

"Senior Yuzhi is a hero of the Leaf Village, and he also respects the departed heroes; he should be a very good person."

"Is that so?"

Uchiha Fugaku could not know whether, but after a moment he still sighed.

"Perhaps so, but from now on don't associate with him; he's not as simple as he looks."

From beginning to end, Yuzhi never mentioned even half a sentence of 'the will to respect heroes'.
