章節 4: Chapter 4: I, Asuka, am Team Uchiha Divorce Faction
Uchiha Naoki is only two years old.
Kakashi, that kind of genius, graduated from the Ninja Academy and became a Genin at the age of five. The talent of the Uchiha Clan is not inferior to Kakashi's.
This also means that Uchiha Naoki has the level of a Genin at the age of five.
Hmm!
In terms of calculation, it sounds better for a Jonin to duel a Genin than for a Jonin to fight a child.
Although both are bullying the young with the strong, a Jonin challenging a Genin to a duel is allowing the other party to experience the cruelty of the ninja world early.
Yeah!
After understanding these things, Asuka glanced at that old guy Uchiha Mamezu with the corner of his eye. he will wait for three years himself, and then see what surprises this system will give him.
Since Sasuke's system is now on him, it's his.
"Minato Namikaze-sama, Kushina-sama, congratulations on your marriage!"
"Thank you, thank you."
"We were just watching from the sidelines, feeling a bit envious of the Hokage couple. Now that Hokage-sama has a capable partner, Konoha's recovery speed will surely outpace ours."
"The peace in the ninja world is hard-won, and Konoha will not initiate wars. We all need to work together to maintain future peace."
"Hokage-sama, when you have time, please do visit the Hyuga clan's territory. Share some ninja insights with those less capable juniors. When they go to the battlefield in the future, they won't die meaninglessly at the hands of some other ninja villages."
"Head of the Hyuga Clan, you're too kind. Next, I will visit each major clan and impart some combat experience."
"."
Seeing the Fourth Hokage couple so polite to the guests attending the wedding banquet, regardless of whether they are ninjas from other villages or villagers from our own, Asuka, sitting in his chair after exchanging greetings, quietly sighed as he watched the backs of the Fourth Hokage couple.
"This is what a powerful alliance looks like. And yet, our Uchiha Clan, as Konoha's largest clan, engages in such intra-clan marriages.
"Fugaku, the Clan Head, has such narrow-minded vision. Why can't he consider the interests of the clan, swiftly divorce, and pursue a woman from the once greatest clan, the Senju of the Forest?"
Clatter!
Seeing Itachi inexplicably drop his chopsticks, Asuka handed him his own and spoke up.
"Keep eating. I wasn't talking about Fugaku."
"I heard everything."
"Since you've heard it, what do you think about the plan I mentioned, about the alliance between the Uchiha Clan and the Senju Clan of the Forest? Moreover, since there's only the Clan Head left in the Senju Clan, the only one in our Uchiha clan who can marry Princess Tsunade based on status is Fugaku. If the Clan Head doesn't divorce, who will?"
Upon hearing Asuka bring up this plan, Itachi shook his head without hesitation, his face clearly expressing a resolute "no."
Recently, he was out shopping with his mother when they unexpectedly overheard someone mention this plan. His heart skipped a beat at the time, and his mother instantly got furious, almost putting on her Ninja combat gear to confront the person who proposed the plan.
While the plan seems quite good and logically sound, the person proposing it clearly didn't consider their own, his mother's, Tsunade-sama's, and others' opinions.
Most importantly, neither clan would likely agree to it.
Watching Itachi remain silent for a long time, Asuka took out the newcomer's starter pack given by the system from his pocket. he found the book titled "Comprehensive Guide to Fire Will Lessons at the Ninja Academy" and quietly read aloud after flipping through it for a while.
"When I was a Jonin student, my sensei once told me that Konoha is a big family, and we are all part of that family. We shouldn't look at things from the perspective of being just a part of a clan, nor should we view things with narrow-mindedness. Most of the time, we should consider issues from the village's perspective."
Ignoring the disdainful gaze from Uchiha Mamezu beside him, Asuka naturally tore off the cover of the book "Will of Fire," crumpled it up, stuffed it into his pocket, and continued reading.
"Only by resolving internal conflicts can we calmly confront external ones."
Then, Asuka closed the book in his hand, stood up, and firmly pulled Uchiha Itachi to a secluded corner where no one else was present. He half crouched down to ensure he didn't have to look up at him.
Glancing at the wedding scene in the distance, Asuka's gaze returned to Itachi, praising him.
"You are a genius, wise, rational, and very thoughtful. Fugaku often praises you in front of us. Though you're only 4 years old now, I hope you can think about the issue of 'parents' divorce' from the perspective of a Hokage. Don't let your thoughts be confined by the boundaries of the Uchiha Clan and the village."
"Think about it, think from the position of a Hokage."
"Besides, if your dad can't pursue Princess Tsunade after the divorce, he can still remarry your mother. By then, you could even get back 200,000 ryo and possibly earn more. It's a win-win situation."
After saying this, he also gave Uchiha Itachi an encouraging look.
Asuka wasn't afraid of tarnishing the reputation of "Clan Head's son" by teaching questionable things; what he taught was flawless, annotated personally by Ninja Academy sensei, and very pure in the Will of Fire. Moreover, this kid Itachi has already learned some bad things from Shisui, actually starting to think about issues from the village's perspective.
Since that's the case, why not think about the issue of 'your biological father divorcing and marrying Tsunade' from the village's perspective?
Watching Asuka's disappearing figure, Itachi squatted on the grass, pulling at the blades of grass on the ground while thinking about what the other person had just brought up.
As the son of the Clan Head, he naturally knew some internal family matters. Because the Uchiha Clan, as one of the founding clans of Konoha alongside the Senju, had missed the position of Hokage four times in a row, this had led to a considerable accumulation of dissatisfaction within the clan.
During the last clan assembly, the Elders even came to blows over this matter. If this continues and the conflicts accumulate to a certain extent, there will definitely be clashes between the clan and the village.
The solution to this problem is actually very simple: the Uchiha Clan needs to produce a Hokage.
However, he also heard from Shisui that it's difficult for the Uchiha Clan to produce a Hokage, not just due to their own emotional deficiencies but also because of external factors.
But if the Uchiha Clan were to marry Princess Tsunade, then everything would indeed be different.
As the granddaughter of the First and Second Hokage, disciple of the Third, and mentor of the Fourth, Princess Tsunade's status is impeccable. The descendants she would have with the Uchiha Clan could be considered perfect successors to the Hokage.
Hmm...
Thinking about this, Uchiha Itachi looked towards the banquet, where his biological father and mother sat at the main table, displaying an affectionate appearance. His inner conflict deepened.
Encouraging his parents to divorce is disrespectful, but beneficial for the clan and the village.
Not encouraging his parents to divorce is filial, but may endanger the village in the future.
But why does it have to be his own father? Just because he's the Clan Head, does he have to take the initiative to stand from the clan's perspective and make sacrifices?
As time passed, the banquet gradually dispersed. The Uchiha Clan Head couple and the Fourth Hokage couple exchanged pleasantries for a while before preparing to leave.
Uchiha Mikoto glanced around the venue, observing elderly ladies packing up leftover food. Suddenly, she remembered her grandmother—when she was sick and couldn't attend a wedding, her grandmother also packed a bunch of food for her.
While Mikoto reminisced about her childhood memories, she looked at a child in the corner of the venue packing leftover food. A smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Although her status and circumstances were different now from when she was a child, she still cherished the memories of eating leftovers from her childhood.
When the child suddenly looked up at her, Uchiha Mikoto gazed at that familiar face, blinked in disbelief, then left Fugaku behind and walked over to the table where Uchiha Itachi was packing leftover food, and spoke softly.
"Itachi, what are you doing?"
"Mother!"
Upon hearing the familiar call beside him, Itachi saw his mother suddenly walking over to him. He shook the plastic bag in his hand towards his mother and pointed to the leftovers inside.
"Someone just mentioned that the clan's finances are tight. Income and expenditure are seriously imbalanced. As the future Clan Head, since I don't have the ability to increase the clan's income, I have to save as much as possible."
"He also said that right after the Second Great Ninja War ended, the village faced similar financial difficulties. Whenever there was a wedding, villagers would pack some leftovers to take home and eat to save money."
"He also mentioned that you experienced that period, so you should understand deeply."
Hearing this, the smile on Uchiha Mikoto's face froze instantly. Just now, when she saw Itachi packing these things, she thought he was going to feed them to the cats on the clan grounds. She didn't expect... he was actually planning to take them home to eat. Even though it's delicious.
Thinking about this, Uchiha Mikoto took a deep breath. She squatted down, stroking Itachi's head with a loving expression on her face.
"Indeed, it was like that back then, but the situation now is much better than it was back then. Besides, you packed too much, we won't be able to finish it all."
"No!"
Uchiha Itachi shook his head. He placed the bag on the floor and started counting on his fingers.
"Because my father and mother married early, at that time my mother didn't know Kushina-sama, so Kushina-sama didn't give a gift when my mother got married. But today, my mother received a dowry of 200,000 ryo. Even if I marry in the future, Kushina-sama will give another 200,000 ryo, and then when her child gets married, I will have to return 200,000 ryo again. When you calculate it all, our family will still be at a loss of 200,000 ryo."
"Unless..."
At these words, Uchiha Mikoto's heart skipped a beat. She pushed aside all the chaotic thoughts in her mind and focused on Itachi. Seeing her son's conflicted expression, Mikoto softened her gaze and gently asked, "Unless what?"
Uchiha Itachi sniffed, having wrestled with his thoughts for a long time, finally realizing something.
Village > Clan > Family
Although advising parents to divorce has more benefits than drawbacks, directly stating it might lead to a beating. It's better to be tactful, perhaps even testing mother's opinion on divorce beforehand.
At this crossroads, Itachi, like on the night of the Uchiha clan massacre years later, still chose to prioritize the village over his own family.
Finally deciding in his heart, he took two steps forward, hugged his mother, then rested his little head on her shoulder, speaking like an innocent child.
"Unless father and mother divorce and marry again, we won't have a deficit. With the dowry earned, we can donate some to the orphanage and improve the living conditions of widows and orphans in the clan."
Uchiha Mikoto's face completely calmed down. She looked at her son and suddenly felt that going to school earlier wasn't such a difficult thing to accept. As long as he had a Ninja Academy diploma, he wouldn't just advise his parents to divorce and remarry for the dowry.
This fool must have been guided by someone.
"Who told you this?"
Upon hearing his mother's icy voice from above, Itachi suddenly felt uneasy. Without hesitation, he threw Asuka under the bus quietly.
"It was the last time when I intended to advise father to divorce."
"Uchiha... Madara."
Mikoto lifted Itachi up, turned towards the direction of the Uchiha Clan Compound, her lips pale from being bitten.
"That guy must be out of his mind, why would he try to persuade Fugaku and me to divorce."
