Chapter 35 My son Itachi has the potential to become Hokage!
Uchiha clan territory, central area.
Fugaku returned home and pushed open the door.
"I'm back."
Welcome back.
Mikoto poked her head out of the kitchen, still wearing an apron. "The food will be ready soon. Go wash your hands first."
Fugaku nodded, his gaze sweeping across the living room.
Three-year-old Sasuke was playing with a wooden kunai on the floor. Hearing the sound, he looked up and said in a childish voice:
"dad!"
"Hmm." Fugaku smiled slightly, walked to the dining table and sat down, and Mikoto served the food.
"Mikoto, bring out the drinks. I'd like to have a couple of drinks tonight."
Mikoto was somewhat surprised.
My husband is very disciplined and rarely drinks alcohol on weekdays.
But she didn't ask any further questions. She turned around, fetched the wine pot, filled her husband's cup, and then asked:
"Is there some good news?"
Fugaku raised his wine glass, smiling but saying nothing.
Good thing!
Of course there are good things to come.
Kazuhiko helped Shota awaken his three-tomoe Sharingan, allowing him to see the destined future of the Uchiha clan.
What does it mean that a technique can enable a clansman with "no potential to awaken the eye" to unlock the three-tomoe gem?
This means that the number of Jonin from the Uchiha clan will increase exponentially.
This means that Konoha can no longer underestimate the Uchiha clan.
However, he did not tell his wife these things.
S-class secrets can only circulate among a small number of Uchiha members, and Uchiha Mikoto has become a full-time housewife.
"Where's Itachi?"
"They went on a mission and haven't returned yet."
Mikoto picked up a piece of fish for Sasuke, saying, "There's a tracking mission."
Just then, the sound of a door opening came from the entryway.
"I'm back."
Itachi walked into the living room, still carrying a chill with him.
"Father, Mother."
Upon seeing Itachi, Sasuke dropped his rice bowl and ran to his brother, calling out, "Onii-chan~"
Itachi's expression softened instantly, and he crouched down to be at eye level with Sasuke.
"Sasuke, have you been a good boy/girl today?"
"Good boy! Sasuke can throw kunai now!"
"Really? That's amazing."
Mikoto watched her two sons interact with a beaming smile.
"Itachi, come with me to the study. Mikoto, keep an eye on Sasuke and make sure no one disturbs him."
"Yes." Mikoto was puzzled, but did not ask any further questions.
……
Inside the study, Fugaku activated a small projection device.
The scene that appears is a psychotherapy surgery.
Kazuhiko stood in front of Shota, his Sharingan with two tomoe slowly rotating.
"This is?"
Itachi's pupils contracted slightly, somewhat surprised.
If he has awakened the Sharingan with two tomoe, then why is he still a medical genin?
"This is the whole process of Dr. Kazuhiko helping Shota awaken his Sharingan."
Fugaku's voice carried a suppressed excitement:
"Psychological therapy combined with genjutsu can really help the Uchiha clan awaken the three-tomoe Sharingan!"
In the scene, Kazuhiko begins to unleash his full hypnotic illusion.
"His illusionary structures are very interesting."
"It's not an ordinary Sharingan genjutsu; it's a combination of multiple genjutsu layered together, with targeted improvements and upgrades."
"Using the Sharingan's hypnotic illusions as a framework, the Yuhi clan's genjutsu as a guide, and his own understanding of genjutsu output, he abandoned the ability to control genjutsu..."
Fugaku spoke eloquently, his eyes gleaming with fervent light.
"This control over illusions, this way of awakening your Sharingan... Itachi, do you know what this means?"
Itachi stared at the unmoving video footage in silence for a moment.
"This means he is a genius of illusion."
"genius?"
Looking at Kazuhiko in the image, Fugaku was absolutely certain:
"He's definitely a genius, which means you can also awaken the Sharingan through psychotherapy!"
He looked at Itachi. "Shisui told me that you went to Kazuhiko's mental health clinic with him, right?"
"Um."
"How does it feel?"
"It doesn't seem to be anything special."
Itachi recalled the scene from that day and the conversation between the two of them, and felt a little awkward.
He recognized Kazuhiko's ideas and felt that he was different from other Uchiha.
However, he still harbored some resentment towards Kazuhiko for using illusion magic to impersonate Shisui and talk to him.
Fugaku frowned slightly:
"Since you went to the mental health clinic, they should have given you a psychological diagnosis report, right? Let me take a look at it."
He had already learned about the entire process of Shota's eye-opening and was very familiar with the procedures at the Kazuhiko Psychological Clinic.
"I don't have a psychological diagnosis certificate."
Of course, there is a diagnosis report.
Kazuhiko not only opened it on the spot that day, but also asserted that he would take the initiative to go back and get it after Kazuhiko made the promise that "we will never meet again".
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Fugaku's face instantly darkened.
"He didn't give you a psychological diagnosis? He thinks you don't have the potential to awaken the Sharingan?"
Fugaku was somewhat annoyed.
He had high hopes for Itachi, whom he groomed as the successor to the Uchiha clan.
What kind of joke is Kazuhiko making?
His son, Fugaku, went to a mental health clinic, and you wouldn't even give him a diagnosis?
Do you still regard me as the clan leader?
Eri's son is so rude!
"This is absolutely outrageous!"
Itachi was startled by his father's reaction and quickly explained:
"Dr. Kazuhiko probably, maybe, possibly gave me a psychological diagnosis, and he even asked me to come back for a follow-up visit..."
Fugaku frowned:
"Then why didn't you bring the diagnosis report?"
Itachi remained silent.
What should he say?
Do you say you're too ashamed to go to a mental health clinic?
After all, Itachi never suffered a defeat in his entire life and never bowed his head to anyone.
Losing to Sasuke in the Pacific War was merely a way of showing his foolish younger brother the true power of Water Release.
Fugaku's gaze made Itachi stop hesitating and he forced himself to begin explaining.
"I thought at the time..."
"What did you think?"
"I thought Dr. Kazuhiko's psychotherapy might not be very effective."
Itachi clenched his fist inwardly and made up an excuse.
That's right, that's it!
I have never considered Dr. He Yan to be a fraud or a quack.
I knew from the moment Shisui called him "brother" that he was different from ordinary Uchiha genin.
"Nonsense!"
Fugaku crossed his arms and looked serious.
"Do you know how many elders are trying to send their juniors to mental health clinics? Or do you just not want to awaken your three-tomoe Sharingan?"
"Dr. Kazuhiko proactively asked you to follow up, but you refused?"
"You should know! Shota awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan with his help after only three days of follow-up visits!"
Fugaku stood up and paced back and forth. "That was incredibly rude. Go to the psychiatric clinic tomorrow to pick up your diagnosis, and remember to bring a thank-you gift!"
Itachi was willing, but he felt a little embarrassed.
Hearing that Kazuhiko could help him activate the Three Tomoe Jewel, he was naturally tempted.
Itachi could even imagine how popular Kazuhiko would be within the Uchiha clan in the future.
It's fair to say that no Uchiha could refuse Kazuhiko.
But I just can't bring myself to do it.
At this moment, Shota reacted in the video. He suddenly opened his eyes, and the three tomoe slowly rotated within them.
Kazuhiko showed no surprise, as if everything was perfectly natural.
"Shota, welcome back."
He had a smile on his lips, along with a hint of pity.
That is absolute control.
Seeing is believing. Itachi stared blankly at the newly formed three-tomoe Sharingan and Kazuhiko standing calmly beside him.
How did he manage to do all this?
Immediately afterwards, Shota's family rushed into the operating room, and Kazuhiko turned and left.
Only a slow, determined silhouette remains in the frame.
"A pioneer! Dr. Kazuhiko is the pioneer of a new era for the Uchiha!"
Although Fugaku had never met Kazuhiko in person, he had already begun to speak highly of him.
"His appearance is destined to go down in history, making all the Uchiha ancestors pale in comparison!"
"Itachi, we need to go early tomorrow, okay?"
"I see."
Hearing his father, whom he admired, praising Kazuhiko so highly, Itachi snapped out of his reverie.
It doesn't seem like there's anything shameful about it.
Shisui is the "number one genius," a Uchiha who is highly regarded by the Hokage, and even he calls him Hiko-nii.
His father was the head of the Uchiha clan, and he was also respectfully addressed as Dr. Kazuhiko.
If I go to the mental health clinic for a follow-up visit, it doesn't really matter if I get laughed at, right?
"It's too casual for you to go alone. Let your mother go with you!"
Fugaku began to fantasize about the scene of his son activating the Three-Tomoe.
What does it mean to unlock the three-tomoe jade at the age of seven?
Even if it's a little slower, eight, nine, or even ten years old,
It's time to change the title of the greatest genius, Shisui.
The Hokage often praised Itachi for having "Hokage thinking"!
My son Itachi has the potential to become Hokage!
"Get some rest early, be well-rested for your meeting with Dr. Kazuhiko, and present your best self!"
"OK."
"This is an S-class secret; remember, it cannot be revealed!"
"I understand, Father."
Itachi left the room and pondered silently.
"Dr. Kazuhiko...can I really awaken the Three Tomoe?"
Fugaku watched the replay and muttered to himself:
"The Third Hokage and Danzo probably don't know about this yet. We should keep it a secret for as long as possible, and try to open the eyes of more clansmen and accumulate strength..."
