Chapter 76 Tobirama: Look, there's a Itachi Uchiha here! Let me trick him!!!
"So, you are the Second Hokage... Tobirama Senju?"
After getting dressed, Itachi re-entered the sealed space and listened to Tobirama's self-introduction.
"Hey, what's with your attitude, you Uchiha brat? You should have some respect for the Hokage."
Tobirama looked into Itachi's eyes and said unhappily.
You should know that in the Warring States period, any Uchiha who dared to call himself by his own name like that would have already been hit by Tobirama's Flying Thunder God Slash.
Izuna threw a lump of his defense at Tobirama, but it failed.
"I'm sorry, I cannot verify your identity."
Itachi's voice carried a hint of apology.
"Also... I no longer belong to the Uchiha clan."
The slightly sad words reached Tobirama's ears.
"Um?!!!"
(✪ω✪)
"Ahem, what do you mean? I am indeed the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju."
Tobirama's figure disappeared, and then Itachi felt a hand pat his shoulder.
"This is the Flying Thunder God Technique that I developed. I once achieved a glorious record with it."
At this point, Tobirama's lips curled up, and a hint of smugness flashed in his eyes.
This is definitely not aimed at Izuna, who is known for his sharp tongue and ruthless attacks, but at all enemies caught in the Flying Thunder God Slash.
Itachi's Mangekyō Sharingan eyes spun wildly, but he still couldn't detect any trace of the Body Flicker Technique.
It's undoubtedly the Flying Thunder God Technique.
But there are marks here?
Tobirama: That Uchiha brat is inherently evil; of course, I have to be on guard. I'll leave a few Flying Thunder God seals where he'll be coming from first. |ू･ω･` )
"I see. Then... Second Hokage, do you know why this place looks like... a dango shop?"
Itachi believed Tobirama's identity, since the white-haired and Flying Thunder God techniques matched up, and he didn't know any more information.
However, this sealed space looks a little sweet... no, that's strange.
Why a dumpling shop?
"The formation of this place is related to your inner state, and I am still studying the specific reasons."
Tobirama glanced around, picked up a nine-colored dumpling, and started eating it.
Hmm, the first one is taro flavor, the second one is red bean flavor, the third one is matcha flavor, and the fourth one is... pfft.
"Wait, why is there a wasabi flavor too?"
"You're pretty twisted, aren't you?"
Tobirama quickly took a sip of water and rinsed his mouth.
This is outrageous! Who makes wasabi-flavored dumplings?
Itachi: (⊙o⊙)..., Uh, I think the more flavors the dango has, the tastier it is!
"Ahem, never mind, let's not talk about that now."
"Tell me, why don't you belong to the Uchiha clan anymore?"
Tobirama narrowed his eyes, patted Itachi on the shoulder, and his expression was extremely complex.
On one hand, he was happy to see the Uchiha clan having fun; on the other hand, these were Uchiha with the Mangekyou Sharingan, not belonging to the Uchiha clan—had they betrayed the village?
After all, Madara left Konoha back then.
Pfft, the thought that not a single member of his tribe is willing to follow him makes me want to laugh.
Tobirama tried his best to suppress the rising corners of his mouth, waiting for Itachi's answer.
"It's like this..."
The following section omits Itachi's explanation of his journey from Shisui's death to his usurpation of Root, his implementation of the "Uchiha Annihilation Plan," and his eventual expulsion from the Uchiha clan.
Itachi had come to terms with it; after all, if Tobirama had wanted to harm him, he would have been dead just now.
And he was the Second Hokage!
Although Tobirama's reputation within the clan wasn't very good...
"really is fake ?"
(✪ω✪)
As Tobirama listened to Itachi's vivid recounting of the events, a strange light gradually appeared in his eyes.
Well, he himself didn't expect that he would look at a brat from the Uchiha clan with such admiration.
No, he no longer belongs to the Uchiha clan.
"So, even you, Second Generation Lord, think I'm extreme?"
Itachi lowered his head and sighed inwardly.
As expected, I am left to bear the darkness alone; no one can understand me.
Suddenly, he felt a hard slap on his back.
"Ahem, how could that be~"
Tobirama couldn't suppress the smirk on his face. Good heavens! You little rascal, even I don't have as many ideas as you.
"This is indeed Danzo's fault, you don't need to blame yourself."
Tobirama gently comforted Itachi, his admiration for him undisguised.
"Really?"
Itachi is only 13 years old, still young, he's still a child.
Although Fugaku and Mikoto's care for him was genuine, Itachi no longer belonged to the Uchiha clan.
This has led to a situation.
He felt like he had no parents and no home.
Therefore, after hearing Tobirama's words, Itachi's eyes gradually brightened.
"Absolutely."
"You did nothing wrong! Danzo was wrong, and those evil Uchiha were wrong."
Tobirama tried his best to hide his smile and patted Itachi's back with trembling hands.
"thank you."
Itachi turned around and bowed deeply to Tobirama.
Tobirama: No, I have to hold it in! I can't laugh in front of this good kid! That's not good, not good... Hehe.
"Ahem, in short, since we've started, we should stick to it to the end."
"I believe that as the leader of Root, you will definitely be able to resolve the issues between the Uchiha... and the village."
Tobirama was actually somewhat dissatisfied with the Root organization established by his disciple Danzo and the things Danzo had done.
Honestly, Danzo didn't grasp the essence of his own teachings.
Although the Uchiha clan is inherently evil, that doesn't mean the Uchiha can't be used by Konoha.
Although I don't want to admit it, Konoha is, after all, a village co-founded by the Uchiha and Senju clans.
Ahem, I absolutely did not intend to treat the Uchiha as slaves and whip them.
He simply wanted to guide the Uchiha clan onto the right path and encourage them to contribute more to Konoha.
Looking at Itachi in front of him, Tobirama suddenly remembered what he had said about not having a surname.
A bold and exciting idea popped into Tobirama's mind.
"In that case, how about I become your godfather?"
Tobirama stroked his chin, staring intently at Itachi, his eyes filled with emotion, pure admiration, without a trace of ulterior motive.
Itachi's body trembled.
"Can someone like me really become your adopted son?"
His voice was a little deep, and the kaleidoscope in his eyes was spinning rapidly.
"Of course."
Tobirama gently placed his hands on Itachi's shoulders and pulled him closer to himself.
"You don't need to agree so quickly. I will teach you how to become a good leader of the Thousand Roots."
Seeing Itachi struggling with his head down, Tobirama spoke calmly.
"Or, let's address each other as master and apprentice for now."
Itachi nodded.
"Yes, disciple Itachi greets master."
Tobirama: It's done, it's done! The teacher has already shouted it out, so how far away can the adoptive father be?
Uchiha Itachi is a thing of the past; now, it's Senju Itachi who's making his appearance!!!
(This is Tobirama's Infinite Tsukuyomi time)
Tobirama: Disciple!
Itachi: Master!
Tobirama: Itachi Senju!
Itachi: Father!!!
