Water bears at the beginning, wet bone forest eating old people

Chapter 168 Standing at the pinnacle of the ninja world before being born

The noise in the front yard seemed to have startled Mikoto who was in the back, but the sensible Mikoto did not go to the front, but just waited at the door of the back house.

Fugaku came to the backyard with the ancient collection and saw Mikoto standing at the door with a bulging belly.

"Mikoto, why did you come out?"

"Fugaku, what are you...huh? Mr. Kozo?"

Mikoto quickly wanted to bow, but her stomach was not able to do so.

The legend of Mr. Furuzo is known to everyone in Konoha. You may not know the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, but you must know Mr. Furuzo, who was dedicated to continuing the dreams of the First and Second Hokage and made a lifelong contribution to maintaining the order of Konoha.

This is the value of Konoha's living fossil.

"No need to be so polite, alas..."

Seeing Mikoto, Gu Zang sighed again.

Fugaku looked at Kozang in his palms, and his intuition told him that Kozang was staring at his wife's belly.

If it were any other man, Fugaku would probably be quite unhappy, but Kozo was a bug, and the words just now about handing over Uchiha Madara had a really huge impact on him.

"Fugaku, come closer. She's your wife. Why are you being so unfamiliar with her?"

Fugaku came back to his senses and walked towards Mikoto awkwardly. Was he a stranger to Mikoto? Wasn't he scared!

After slowly approaching, in Mikoto's puzzled and somewhat timid eyes, Gu Zang slowly approached her belly, but did not get close to her. After all, he was an old man who had lived for so many years and would not do such an immoral thing.

In this way, the two people and the bug were deadlocked in the yard for a long time. After a while, Gu Zang took a half step back.

"Uchiha Mikoto, good girl... Go back and rest first, Fugaku."

"Ah! Mr. Gu Zang! Here!"

"What are you yelling about? Go back to the front and don't disturb Mikoto's rest."

"Ah yes!"

Fugaku thought, isn't it because you kept asking me to hand over Uchiha Madara that I came to disturb Mikoto?

But even if he had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to say it out loud.

Fugaku felt much more at ease after returning to the front. At least Kozo didn't pierce Mikoto's stomach all at once, take out the unborn baby and kill it, right?

Although it was a bit cruel, this was indeed the worst picture that Uchiha Fugaku had just flashed through his mind.

"Mr. Gu Zang?"

Looking at the silent insect, Fugaku couldn't help but ask, when he returned to the front room, Gu Zang was lying on the table, not moving or talking, what was going on?

Waiting for you to ask me! Gu Zang secretly cursed Fugaku for being too smart. This guy has a high IQ, but his EQ is really not high!

"Fugaku, I originally thought that was the offspring of Uchiha Madara, but I didn't expect it to be your child... They look alike, so similar."

"Like who..."

Uchiha Fugaku asked knowingly, he was just making sure.

"That kind of chakra, that kind of aura, I felt it. I originally thought that Uchiha Madara or his descendants returned to Konoha and would not leave, so I came to visit today. Alas..."

Fugaku slowly lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

Can Gu Zang detect the chakra of a baby?

Fugaku wasn't sure.

After all, when Chuan Zang was brought back, many people could not notice anything unusual, but Gu Zang insisted that the baby, who was so young at the time, was carrying the Wood Release technique in his body.

Uchiha Fugaku also sent Uchiha clan ninjas to investigate from afar, but they could not find anything. It seemed that only Kozo could see the Wood Release.

However, it turns out that Kawazo does know how to use Wood Release. Since Hiruko's defection, almost all the information about Kawazo has been revealed. He is the successor to Wood Release.

At such a young age, he is able to display certain strength. Was Hashirama so powerful when he was the same age as Kawaki?

Fugaku didn't know what Hashirama Senju was like. He just felt that the strength of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha formed a clear gap between them and other ninjas. It was hard to say whether they had some characteristics that only the living fossil, Gu Zang, could see.

So, Fugaku had no doubt that Kozang could sense Uchiha Madara's aura, but that was clearly his own son...

"You can't be wrong, Fugaku. Have you decided on a name for the child?"

"Um... Mr. Kozo, I've already chosen a name for my child. It's Itachi."

"Uchiha... Itachi?"

Gu Zang nodded.

"There's no doubt about it. Although he hasn't been born yet, this child has the same power as Uchiha Madara hidden within his body. This power can allow him to grow rapidly, possessing talents far beyond those of ordinary geniuses, and possess unparalleled strength."

"Just like Madara back then..."

As he was talking, Gu Zang seemed to fall into memories again and lay there motionless.

This time, Fugaku did not interrupt Kozo.

When people get old, they tend to get lost in memories. It is quite rude to interrupt them rashly. The same goes for insects.

"This power is enough to lead the Uchiha clan to great heights, Fugaku."

Gu Zang "recalled" for a long time and suddenly spoke.

"Promise me that you will guide Itachi's power correctly and use it for the development and construction of Konoha."

"Yes, Mr. Gu Zang."

Fugaku's face had returned to calm, but his heart was filled with joy. What could be more joyful than his son becoming a ninja like Uchiha Madara? That was Uchiha Madara!

"Don't just promise me verbally. You must remember this, Fugaku. This isn't just for Konoha. If this power is channeled well, it will be the Uchiha clan's greatest opportunity. If it's not channeled well... the first catastrophe will befall the Uchiha clan. This is no joke."

Upon hearing this, Fugaku calmed down a bit and nodded attentively.

"I understand, Mr. Kozo. I will guide Itachi correctly. Even I don't want the Uchiha to go completely in the opposite direction of Konoha. Even if the Uchiha rises, they will not kill all the ninjas of Konoha. We are part of Konoha."

Fugaku knew that an old fellow like Kozo was not concerned about one or two clans of Konoha, nor one or two ninjas, but the survival of Konoha as a whole, so he did not say everything and used a little cleverness.

"Well, I feel relieved if you think so."

Kozo nodded. Did he care that Fugaku was so obviously talking nonsense?

The person is already lame, so a crooked mouth is no big deal.

"Kawazo's child has awakened Wood Release, and your son has the same power as Madara. When these two children rise, Konoha will once again stand at the top of the ninja world. I can also go to see Hashirama and Tobirama with a smile on my face, hehe..."

Gu Zang sounded in a very good mood. He slowly climbed down from the table and walked out of the house step by step.

"Regarding Itachi's guidance, if you have any difficulties, you can come to me, an old man, and there is no need to send me..."

Looking at the sound of Gu Zang leaving, Fugaku breathed a sigh of relief, then took a deep breath, and suddenly his whole body seemed to have endless strength.

He stood up quickly and walked towards the backyard.

He wanted to see his beloved Mikoto and his son, Uchiha Itachi, who had reached the pinnacle of the ninja world before he was even born.

However, just as he took a step forward, a voice came from outside the door again calling him.

He is a lone commander who runs back and forth between Konoha and Uchiha, wasting time and energy but unable to please either side.

Uchiha Shisui.

"Master Patriarch, I'm back!"
