The current desperate efforts, to a certain extent, are a constant struggle for a greater future, but it is not necessarily the same...
Whipping himself, paralyzing himself, or even hypnotizing himself, it seems that as long as he does this, Fugaku can quickly fall asleep when he closes his eyes, without having to think about the pairs of things that the tribesmen revealed before they died.
Where are the resentful blood-colored eyes?
"Fugaku, why don't you go to bed so late?"
The cool breeze of the night blew gently, and a soft female voice also sounded. As the door curtain creaked, Fugaku's wife, Uchiha Mikoto, stepped into Fugaku's room from the courtyard, and came to Fugaku lightly.
around.
Under the dark bangs, there is a pair of bright eyes with a hint of sleepiness. She is wearing a black coat and holding another coat in her hand. When she sees Fugaku being obsessed with the case and unable to extricate himself, his face can't help but flash.
Unspeakable pity.
"I can't sleep..." His thoughts were interrupted by his beloved wife. Fugaku couldn't help but sigh. He rubbed his face with his hands and looked at Mikoto with a hint of blame in his eyes: "Mikoto, this is the point.
Why aren't you sleeping yet? You don't know your body right now..."
Seeing Fugaku asking herself in turn, Mikoto unconsciously touched her belly, then slowly put her coat on Fugaku, bent down and knelt down next to her husband, smiled slightly and said:
"It's only been two or three months, so it won't be a problem."
Having just finished speaking, without waiting for Fugaku to speak further, Mikoto changed the topic calmly: "Fugaku, you look much better today than before. Is it because things are going very smoothly with Hokage-sama?"
Seeing his wife's appearance, Fugaku sighed helplessly, thought about it, and without further persuasion, simply replied: "Yes, today I am the new leader of the Roots. Even now that I think about it, it's a bit unbelievable.
"
As he said this, Fugaku smiled, seeming to be sincerely happy about his promotion, but the keen Mikoto still noticed something unusual in Fugaku's smile.
"Fugaku..." After hesitating for a moment, Mikoto pursed her lips slightly, and a hint of complexity flashed in her eyes: "Is it worth it?"
She didn't comment on Fugaku's words, nor did she express any opinions on the so-called root leader. Mikoto's first sentence was such a seemingly inexplicable question. It was this question that made Fugaku's smile freeze, and unknowingly
fell into a long silence.
Time seemed to have passed for a moment, and also seemed to have passed for a long time. When he raised his head again and looked at Mikoto's pretty face, and looked into those eyes that seemed to be able to understand everything, Fugaku smiled again, but this time
He smiled back, but it was somewhat bitter. He opened his mouth and a hoarse voice came from his throat:
“We’ve made it this far, is there anything else worth it?”
yes……
From the time he personally killed Uchiha Kazuo, he had already made his choice.
Even though he is the leader of the Uchiha tribe, even though he loves his tribe deeply, even though he is very unwilling to kill his tribe and become a cold-blooded executioner who is reviled by all the surviving tribesmen, but for the future of the tribe, he must
Also for the future of myself, Mikoto, and the child in Mikoto’s belly...
Is it worth it? Maybe it is.
Staring at her husband steadily, savoring the look in his eyes and the helplessness and sadness in his tone, Mikoto was silent for a long time. It wasn't until the breeze from outside the door blew over her body that she finally woke up.
He couldn't help but tugged on his coat and changed the topic again:
"Fugaku, you are in a very unusual state today. Do you mind telling me what tasks the Hokage has given you?"
At the end, he thoughtfully added: "Of course, if you feel embarrassed, it's okay not to say anything."
Fugaku took a deep breath and quickly adjusted his mentality. He was about to refuse, but looking at his wife's caring eyes, when the words came to his lips, he couldn't help but change to:
"Mikoto, Hokage-sama wants to rectify the internal situation and deal with a group of officials who have embezzled illegal money, so as to intimidate the village management. To be honest, I don't want to do this kind of work, but..."
"But you can't help it, right?" Mikoto opened her crimson lips lightly and finished what Fugaku had finished. Seeing her husband nodding at first, and then starting to sigh, she thought for a moment and said:
"We Uchiha seem to have been doing this kind of offending things all the time. The former security force is now the root. This seems to have never changed. Fugaku, do you think the Hokage-sama is..."
Hearing the implication of his wife's words, Fugaku decisively stretched out his hand to signal Mikoto to stop talking. He shook his head and replied in a determined tone: "Although the Hokage-sama has imposed many hardships on our clan, there are also many hardships among them.
The clan members sacrificed for this, but Mikoto, there is only one thing I am sure of..."
"That is, Lord Hokage essentially has no ill intentions towards our clan. In the final analysis, all his plans and actions are all for the sake of Konoha as a whole, rather than specifically targeting a certain ninja clan or group of ninjas.
.”
Looking at Mikoto's confused eyes, Fugaku moved his lips, but still stopped his desire to reveal further information, eliminate the ninja class, evolve peacefully, and conquer the world...
He didn't dare to tell some of Lei Luo's ambitions, lest he scare his wife and make Mikoto think that Hokage-sama was crazy. She also felt that he was equally crazy for following Hokage-sama all the way to the dark side.
Although he does feel a little crazy on weekdays, after all, he is loyal to Lei Luo's ideas that can bring havoc to the world. Every time he thinks about it, Fugaku thinks that his spirit is indeed a little abnormal.
But... no matter how terrifying Lei Luo's ideal is, and how much bloodshed and sacrifice there will be in the process, in the final analysis, Lei Luo, that man's vision is never limited to a small Konoha village.
In his eyes, there is the whole world.
Narrow communalism, stubborn struggles within the village, vigilance against the power of the Sharingan, and entanglement in the so-called issues left over from history...
Lei Luo doesn't pay attention to any of these things. What he cares about is the general direction, the changes of the times, and the competition between countries. This is Fugaku's view of Lei Luo, and it is also the reason why he can
The fundamental reason for making up his mind to move closer to Lei Luo.
Just because, in the eyes of Lei Luo, the Uchiha clan is not fundamentally different from the ordinary ninja clan. Lord Hokage treats everyone equally. As long as Fugaku is willing to pay, he will gain something. The reason is that simple
.
And as of now, this is indeed the case.
Other than that, as for what happens next...nevermind.
