Naruto : I Aspire To Become Hokage Man

Chapter 14: Chapter 14 : Look Itachi Cried



---

Before Izumi could answer, she saw three figures appear beside Naruto. One of them grabbed Naruto by the back of the neck and lifted him up effortlessly.

"Boss, please don't do this. You're going to be Hokage one day—you don't want to ruin your reputation," said Shisui, deadpan.

It was Uchiha Shisui, Fugaku, and Mikoto who had arrived. Upon seeing them, Izumi burst into tears and immediately hugged Shisui.

After all, she was only a 13-year-old girl who usually spent her time taking care of pets and handling minor Genin missions.

Suddenly being thrown into the horror of her clan's massacre, watching her mother die, and barely escaping Obito's attack—her bottled-up fear finally exploded. Then, she fainted.

Shisui remained expressionless. Meanwhile, Fugaku stood there, his face dark, probably realizing that he was technically still here to watch his son Itachi slaughter the entire clan.

"Shisui, man, can you put me down? This looks really bad," Naruto complained.

Shisui didn't even blink. "Is saving her really the only reason you rushed here?"

Naruto scoffed. "Oi, Shisui, how can you be so cold? She's literally the only beauty left in your clan. Don't you want to preserve Uchiha's premium genetics?"

Little did Naruto know that Izumi hadn't even awakened her Sharingan yet before tonight. In fact, she was slightly nearsighted.

Yes, you heard that right—Sharingan users, before activating their dojutsu, could still be short-sighted. Glasses could fix it.

Shisui's eye twitched at Naruto's words. He was used to his boss being... well, his boss.

Fugaku, on the other hand, chuckled darkly, giving Naruto a look that said, Are you really trying to steal my son's girl while she's passed out?

After all, he had already accepted that Izumi wasn't going to end up with Itachi. That was no longer an option. His son had kind of… well, murdered his own mother.

"Let's focus," Naruto said, brushing off the dirt that Shisui had thrown onto him. He turned to them. "You two—let's go collect some Sharingan."

The three of them made their way into the Uchiha Police Force headquarters, systematically gathering the fallen clan members' Sharingan before they could be lost forever.

Meanwhile, back at the Ninja Academy bonfire event, the festival had ended, and the students were heading home.

Sasuke was walking back through the Uchiha district, but something felt off.

The streets were unnervingly quiet.

"That's weird…" He muttered to himself.

"Where is everyone?"

The deeper he went, the more kunai and shuriken littered the ground. His breath hitched as he turned a corner—his clan's bodies were sprawled out across the street.

"No… No way!"

Heart pounding, Sasuke ran towards his home. He burst through the entrance, only to find his brother standing there, waiting for him.

"Onii-chan!" Sasuke shouted in panic. "Everyone outside… they're all dead! What's happening, Onii-chan?!"

Itachi didn't answer. Instead, he raised a kunai, his Sharingan glowing ominously in the dimly lit room.

"Why are you—" Sasuke stammered, stepping back.

Then, Itachi spoke.

"My foolish little brother… Mangekyō Sharingan—Tsukuyomi!"

Outside the window, crouched on the roof, were three very shameless men watching the entire thing unfold.

"Yo, Fugaku, your family is really good at acting," Naruto commented, watching the scene with amusement. "Look at Itachi's expression. That's some Oscar-level shit. Tsk, tsk~ Perfection."

Fugaku shot Naruto a deadpan glare but said nothing.

Naruto wasn't done. "You still let Itachi take care of Sasuke, huh? You sure that's a good idea? I mean, it looks like he's gonna raise him into a whole new level of emo. Are you sure you won't regret that?"

"Shut up," Fugaku growled.

Shisui sighed. "Boss, just watch."

"Fine, fine," Naruto said, hands up in surrender. "I'm just saying… Itachi might be overdoing the whole murdering the entire clan thing for a simple power-up."

Inside the house, Sasuke collapsed onto the floor, gripping his head and screaming in pain as he was forced to relive his clan's slaughter over and over again in Itachi's Genjutsu.

"It was all to test my abilities," Itachi stated emotionlessly.

"Just for that?" Sasuke's voice trembled as he looked around in horror. "You killed everyone just for that…?"

Naruto leaned in closer. "Oof. That's cold."

Sasuke's mind shattered under the pressure, his tiny body trembling. Then, Itachi knocked him unconscious with a single punch. Sasuke crumpled to the floor, helpless.

As he lay there, paralyzed with shock, Itachi stepped forward, gazing down at his little brother with an unreadable expression.

"Run, Sasuke," he said. "Run and survive. Hate me. Despise me. One day, when you have eyes like mine, come and find me."

Then, he turned away and disappeared into the night.

Sasuke lay motionless, his tiny hands twitching. His vision blurred as his eyes filled with tears. And then—

His Sharingan awakened.

A single tomoe.

Watching from the rooftop, Naruto turned to Fugaku and shook his head dramatically. "Damn, bro. Your son massacred your whole clan, hit Sasuke with two Tsukuyomi, and all Sasuke got from it was a one-tomoe Sharingan?"

Shisui coughed awkwardly.

Naruto wasn't done. "Like, look at Shisui. Look at Itachi. Hell, even Izumi popped a Mangekyō when she saw a single clan member die. But Sasuke? Whole clan? One-tomoe. Bro, your genes got nerfed."

"Shut. Up." Fugaku growled, rubbing his temples. "At least he was the first one in the clan to awaken his Sharingan."

Sasuke finally stirred, clutching the kunai at his side. His anger flared. With newfound determination, he picked up three kunai and hurled them toward Itachi.

With barely any effort, Itachi deflected them, knocking his own forehead protector to the ground.

Sasuke collapsed shortly after, unconscious.

Itachi picked up the fallen forehead protector, his fingers trembling slightly. A single tear slid down his cheek.

Naruto's smirk widened. "Yo. Look. Look! Itachi's crying!"

Shisui and Fugaku snapped their heads toward Naruto in warning.

Naruto raised his hands. "Hey, hey! Just pointing it out. Dude wiped out his whole family, traumatized his little bro twice, and now he's crying like he just realized he left the stove on."

"Naruto," Shisui hissed.

"Okay, okay, I'll stop." Naruto grinned. "But seriously, if Itachi wanted Sasuke to awaken a Mangekyō, maybe he should've just killed his pet dog. That probably would've worked better."

"GET OUT," Fugaku snapped.

And with that, Naruto quickly made his exit, Naruto still grinning like an idiot.

Fugaku groaned, rubbing his temples. "Why… why did I let him in my clan's house?"

Shisui sighed. "He just does things, sir. It's best not to question it."

Fugaku muttered something about wanting to strangle both Naruto and Itachi as he turned back toward his unconscious son.
