Chapter 412 Mikoto and Itachi, Sasuke: Now I'm the Big Brother
"Come on, come home with me first."
Outside the Uchiha clan compound, Fugaku greeted them with a calm expression despite the various gazes of his clansmen, though inwardly he was gritting his teeth and struggling with conflicting emotions.
Although he could arrange for Sasuke to be kept away from his wife, this was not a long-term solution! Moreover, Sasuke was a Mangekyou Sharingan Uchiha, and he didn't trust anyone else to monitor him.
Hmph, brat, don't get cocky.
You may be a genius, but I am the current head of the Uchiha clan, possessing the Mangekyou Sharingan. Do you think you can usurp the position of clan head?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!!
"That's the rumored illegitimate son, Uchiha Sasuke, who also awakened the legendary Mangekyou Sharingan??"
"Judging from the clan leader's attitude, he must be right, otherwise he wouldn't have brought her back to the clan. That's great! Now the clan has finally produced a super genius who can rival the Hokage!"
"That's right. With Young Master Sasuke around, the village's higher-ups are bound to change their attitude towards our Uchiha clan. Especially since Young Master Sasuke helped stop the tailed beast from going berserk tonight."
"Heh, aren't you two being a bit too naive? I admit that young master Sasuke is a genius, but his identity is still a point of suspicion. This could very well be the fuse that makes the higher-ups suspect us."
"So what? Even the Hokage has to consider the strength of the Uchiha clan in the face of absolute power. I believe that young master Sasuke has the power and potential to achieve that!"
“That’s right. In my opinion, young master Sasuke is very likely to be the next Madara Uchiha, leading us to recreate the glory of the Uchiha clan.”
"Be careful what you say, that person is taboo!!"
"Ahem... I'm not thinking about these things right now, I'm just curious how the clan leader will explain this when he gets back?"
"Hehehe, although Sasuke's appearance is beneficial to our Uchiha clan, it's a bolt from the blue for Lady Mikoto and Young Master Itachi!!"
"Yes, yes, from today onwards, Young Master Itachi is no longer the young master of the Uchiha clan, nor is he the genius on whom the clan leader placed his hopes."
"You gloating fools, be careful the chieftain comes after you. Can't you see the tribe and village have been destroyed and we need to help? Hurry up and go..."
"Yes, Captain Yashiro."
The onlookers, who had been quietly chirping, scattered like birds in the blink of an eye, leaving Uchiha Yasho speechless for a moment before he stared at Sasuke's retreating figure with a complicated expression.
The Mangekyou Sharingan?
Lord Fugaku, I never expected you to pull off such a huge surprise so quietly! Is the darkness over the Uchiha clan finally giving way to dawn...?
[Uncle Hand-Pounded Rice, Aunt Jing, Sister Quan, Brother Shisui...]
Sasuke, suppressing his inner turmoil, gazed upon this Uchiha clan territory that he didn't recall ever having seen before. Especially upon seeing some familiar faces etched into his childhood memories, his breathing became erratic and his eyes filled with tears…
"Fugaku, are you alright?"
Just as Sasuke, his mind reeling and in a daze, followed Fugaku into the clan head's house, a figure he could never forget suddenly appeared, causing him to tremble, his nose to sting, his eyes to fill with blood, and he almost burst into tears.
Fortunately, the emotional build-up and mental preparation made Sasuke, who had already awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan, appear less emotionally out of control.
"Oh? Who is this child?" As if noticing Sasuke's unusual expression, Mikoto turned her gaze to Sasuke and asked with a gentle smile.
She had been helping out in the clan and only knew that a kaleidoscope genius had suddenly appeared and suppressed the tailed beasts, but she was unaware of the subsequent rumors.
Unbeknownst to Mikoto, Fugaku, who had been unwittingly blamed, looked embarrassed and hesitated, unsure of where to begin.
"That... he is Itachi's older brother, Uchiha Sasuke."
Meeting Mikoto's puzzled gaze, Fugaku's legs went weak and he knelt down on the tatami, resigned to his fate.
"Itachi's...brother??"
Mikoto's eyes widened and she couldn't help but stare at Fugaku and blurt out. When she saw Fugaku's guilty attitude, her face turned pale and she stopped breathing.
She could certainly hear the deeper meaning in Fugaku's words: this was not some other collateral blood relationship.
So this child is Fugaku's illegitimate son!!
【Mother……】
Seeing his mother Mikoto so distraught, Sasuke felt a pang of pain in his heart, but dared not say anything more or reveal his identity.
It's not a big deal that he acknowledges his father, but if he were to acknowledge his mother as well, his true identity might be exposed to them very quickly.
I'm sorry, Mom. For the sake of the mission and the Uchiha clan, you'll have to endure this for a few months!
As for Fugaku, although he had prepared himself mentally, he still felt distressed when he saw his wife's lifeless eyes, and he couldn't express his bitterness.
But when it came to explaining, he was completely baffled and didn't know where to begin...
Most importantly, he had a compelling reason to do so!
A short, sharp pain is worse than a long, drawn-out one!
If Sasuke is healthy, he certainly can't afford to abandon this genius son. Coupled with his Mangekyou Sharingan, Sasuke is destined to become the future of the Uchiha clan…
This was the reason he had to acknowledge Sasuke's identity. It was also a test, a probe to see what Sasuke really wanted!
"Brother? Mom, Itachi has an older brother now??" Just as the three of them were looking at each other awkwardly, little Itachi emerged from another room and asked hesitantly.
As she spoke, her little feet darted quickly to Sasuke's side, tilting her head back and looking at him with a mixture of trepidation and anticipation...
"One against seven." Sasuke murmured unconsciously, looking at Itachi's small face and unable to help but reach out and tap Itachi's forehead, sighing, "Naive guy, so-called brothers are not that simple."
"Ouch...it hurts!!"
Itachi rubbed his forehead, winced in pain, and took two steps back. Then, he looked at Sasuke with a bewildered expression, "But Father said you're my older brother. Aren't you, Sasuke, my older brother?"
“Big brother…” Upon hearing this, Sasuke’s pupils contracted, and fond memories of his childhood flooded his mind, causing a slight smile to appear on his lips. “Then you’d better be prepared! Brotherhood is not only about blood ties, but also about protecting and trusting each other.”
"No matter the time, the situation, or the difficulties we face, brothers are always there for each other to rely on!"
In an instant, Fugaku Mikoto also came to her senses and looked at Sasuke in surprise, not expecting that this guy would take Itachi's existence so seriously.
The naive and young Itachi only vaguely understood this, feeling as if he had been underestimated by his older brother. "Hmph, I can definitely do it. Don't underestimate me, Sasuke-nii-san."
"Is that so?" A deep meaning flashed in Sasuke's eyes, then his gaze turned serious, and his eyes transformed into the Mangekyou Sharingan. "Then I can answer you now: as long as you keep your word, I will be your older brother for life. Even if it means making enemies with anyone, I will do it!"
In this life, he would never allow Itachi to go that far, to let the tragedy of the Uchiha clan repeat itself!
"Wow, what amazing Sharingan." Itachi had no idea what Sasuke was thinking; he just kept nodding and looking at the six-pointed Mangekyou Sharingan with a face full of admiration.
"Itachi, Sasuke will be your older brother from now on. You two should get along well!" Looking at Sasuke, who seemed genuinely building a bond so quickly, Mikoto took a deep breath and smiled gently as she came back to her senses.
Although she was disappointed in Fugaku, for some reason, after seeing Sasuke's attitude and education of Itachi, she couldn't feel any resentment towards the boy.
That's true, how can you take out your anger on a child for adult problems...
"Itachi, take Sasuke out to familiarize him with the house. I have something to discuss with your father."
Fugaku????ДO???
