I Am Fugaku Uchiha

Jiraiya hesitated before speaking. "Initially, I didn't want to interfere, but then I sensed something was off. Upon asking the old man, I discovered it was he who caused the tremor in Danzo's place.

He had used only one punch, and it seemed like his strength surpassed yours, Tsunade."

Tsunade was taken by surprise, as Uchiha were known for their dojutsu, not strength.

"Hey, wait a minute, he is the clan head of the Uchiha; why would he go to Danzo’s place? And what was he fighting with Danzo for?" Tsunade asked with a confused expression.

Jiraiya shook his head: "I don’t know the details, but according to the old man, it seems that he went to the root base to look for Lord Danzo, and then Danzo’s men attacked him first and caused a misunderstanding. I didn’t ask much about the specifics; you know, I don’t want to get involved in the affairs of the upper echelons of Konoha."

"Oh?" Tsunade looked concerned as she questioned, "Wait, are you saying Fugaku is stronger than me now?"

"Ah? Well, I didn’t say that; the old man did." Jiraiya seemed to have a bad feeling about it but still defended himself subconsciously.

"When did he make an appointment with you?" Tsunade asked.

"He said three days later, on the afternoon of the day before yesterday, so the correct time should be the day after tomorrow. What do you want to do?" Jiraiya replied.

Tsunade smirked: "Tomorrow, I’ll help you test his strength first."

The people of Konoha knew that the clan head had gone on a trip for half a year, but only a few of the high-levels knew about his current strength.

Even someone like Namikaze Minato might not be aware. Tsunade knew that he caused the commotion in the afternoon, but she thought she could do it too. She was undefeated in terms of strength.

This news not only stimulated her competitive spirit, but more importantly, she thought of what happened that night. He actually made her see such disgusting things. She felt disgusted and wanted to beat up that shameless guy.

.-------------------------------------

After a painful night, Fugaku finally looked at his wife, Mikoto, who was fast asleep in his arms, and let out a deep sigh.

Sometimes in life, enduring can be so difficult. We didn't do anything last night. It wouldn't be good to exhaust Mikoto, who is already eight months pregnant.

With great care, he pulled away from her and dressed in clean clothes. After buying breakfast, he quickly returned and left it on the table for her. As soon as he finished his own, he left the house again.

He practiced the jutsu Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation and Wood Release, and now he needed some actual combat experience.

As for the other types of kekkei genkai, he felt that they were not useful to him, and he had no idea how to use them. This was unavoidable; after all, wood release is practical in combat against a bijuu or troublesome enemy.

His goal today was to meet Minato. Of course, before that, he had to go see the Third Hokage once.

The old man looked for him once yesterday, but he didn’t go. But, contrary to his wishes, he had just left the house not far away when he saw a handsome blond man wearing a ninja outfit and a jonin vest leading three little guys towards the village gate.

Fugaku adjusted his clothes. The meeting order was different from what he planned, but it was still acceptable.

"Hello, clan head." Obito greeted him cheerfully.

"Hello, sir." Kakashi and Rin also followed suit.

Fugaku nodded at the three kids and said, "You too."

He was already used to this kind of daily courtesy.

"Fugaku-sama." Minato smiled brightly and looked at him, who was blocking his way.

He looked at the four of them carrying luggage and asked, "Are you on mission?"

"Yes, I’m taking them out for some training." Minato replied.

Fugaku was embarrassed this time. "Oh? Then never mind. I had something to ask you, but since you’re going out, I won’t bother you."

"I’m really sorry... Minato apologized when he heard that he wanted to talk to him. He was much more polite than Fugaku.

Fugaku waved his hand. "It’s nothing to be sorry about. You have something to do, so go ahead."

Minato nodded and left on the journey with the three of them. It seemed that the Flying Thunder God would have to wait again.

"Clan head, I want to ask you how to activate the Sharingan." Obito didn’t leave immediately. His question pulled him back from his thoughts.

Fugaku was at a loss for words. According to what I remember, it involved losing his father, mother, brother, or opening his eyes in battle to protect someone. Obito asked him so abruptly, without giving him any time to prepare. How could he answer? It was an awkward situation.

"You go on your mission. I’ll teach you when you come back." Fugaku used his wit to avoid the awkwardness.

"Thank you, clan head..." Obito was overjoyed when he heard that the clan leader was willing to teach him. He quickly bowed and followed Kakashi and the others.

Kakashi looked at Obito, who followed him and touched his burned hair. "So your fire release was taught by your clan leader. Hmph, no wonder…"

"What’s wrong with that? I worked hard, too. My Phoenix Sage Fire Technique took me an afternoon to learn!" Obito proudly showed off his achievements.

"Forget it. I don’t know you. Phoenix Sage Fire Technique is much harder than Fireball Technique. Without your clan head, an afternoon? Yeah right…"

"B-baka Kakashi, what do you mean? Don’t look down on me. "

A/n: I think using baka instead of idiot sounds good.
