Chapter 90 Fugaku...blind?
Chapter 90 Fugaku...blind?
The daimyo of the Land of Fire spent a month preparing for this competition, and ticket revenue alone exceeded 70 billion ryo.
After the match, the Third Tsuchikage Onoki, the Four-Tails Jinchuriki Rōshi, the Fourth Raikage A, and Killer Bee stood on the field, somewhat dazed.
Because they each held a sealed scroll filled with 8 million taels of banknotes.
Killer Bee, unusually, didn't rap; his voice was deep: "Dude, this money... came too easily!"
The Fourth Raikage snorted coldly and stuffed the money pouch into his ninja tool bag.
He looked at Onoki and said, "The Land of Fire hosts a tournament and earns more money than our entire village has accumulated in seven or eight years. What makes them so capable of this?"
Onoki did not answer directly, but gave the young Fourth Raikage a meaningful look.
The four people's eyes met briefly in the air, understanding each other without words.
This money made them realize the wealth of the Land of Fire and ignited their ambitions.
......
In the VIP area of the competition venue, Tsunade is examining Fugaku Uchiha's eyes.
"Fugaku, calm down."
Tsunade stood to the side, her brows furrowed.
She reached out and pressed her hand on Fugaku Uchiha's shoulder, and pale green chakra slowly flowed into the meridians around his eyes, trying to relieve the pain.
Tsunade said in a deep voice, "You've overused your Mangekyou Sharingan, and the backlash from its power has begun to erode your vision. If this continues, you'll soon go completely blind."
Fugaku Uchiha clenched his fists so tightly they cracked.
His voice was somewhat out of control: "I am the Hokage, I can't... I can't act like a useless person."
"Knock...knock!" Two knocks sounded on the door.
The daimyo's messenger sent an invitation, inviting the three of them to a banquet that evening.
Uchiha Mitsumine said softly, "How about I escort Clan Chief Fugaku back to Konoha first, and Tsunade stays to attend the banquet?"
Fugaku Uchiha frowned and said, "No need. My vision is just a little blurry. I can handle a small banquet with my other senses without any problems!"
......
Inside the palace of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, everything was resplendent in gold.
Hundreds of ninjas stood in neat rows, many of them ninjas participating in the competition today, but now wearing uniforms bearing the emblem of the Land of Fire.
The lord sat high in the main seat, shaking the golden cup in his hand, a smug smile on his face.
"Everyone, this tournament has come to a successful conclusion, thanks to your participation... and thank you all for your trust in me and for joining the Fire Country Guard family..."
The famous speaker's speech... was eloquent and he was clearly excited.
Through today's competition, he recruited 124 Jonin and 879 Chunin. Including the Sarutobi, Shimura, Utatane, and Mito clans, he now has more than 5000 ninjas.
According to intelligence, Konoha Village currently only has over 6000 ninjas, which is why the Daimyo is so excited at this moment.
Halfway through the banquet, the servants brought out one delicious dish after another.
The daimyo suddenly walked over and laughed, "Fourth Hokage... How many ninja does Konoha have now... over 6000?"
Fugaku Uchiha's pupils contracted slightly.
Uchiha Mitsumine smiled and continued, "Your Excellency is joking. The number of ninjas in Konoha is a secret, but... these people you recruited..."
Daimyo laughed heartily, but there was no smile in his eyes: "Not at all, compared to the elites of Konoha, these people I recruited are nothing but trash."
Fugaku Uchiha suddenly stood up: "Excuse me, I'm feeling a little unwell, I'll take my leave now."
Tsunade and Uchiha Mitsunori exchanged a glance, then got up and left.
......
Konoha Village, Hokage's office.
Fugaku Uchiha sat at the table, the document in his hand almost touching his nose, yet he could only make out blurry black ink marks.
"Damn it..."
He slammed the document onto the table, scattering papers all over the floor.
The harder he looked, the more stinging pain shot through his eyes, as if countless tiny needles were pricking his eyeballs.
Late at night, in the Uchiha clan compound!
Fugaku Uchiha pushed open the door to his house. Although the lights were on inside, his vision was still blurry.
Mikoto Uchiha emerged from the inner room, carrying a cup of hot tea.
"Fugaku, you're back?"
Fugaku Uchiha's eyes were bloodshot, and he coldly snorted, "Hmm."
Mikoto Uchiha followed, whispering, "Husband... are your eyes... alright?"
Fugaku Uchiha whirled around, his emotions somewhat out of control, and roared, "Leave me alone!"
Uchiha Mikoto was frightened by his gaze and took a step back.
This retreat completely ignited Fugaku Uchiha's rage: "Mikoto, even you think I'm a useless person?"
He grabbed Uchiha Mikoto's wrist and slammed her against the wall!
"Bang!"
Mikoto Uchiha slammed into the wall, let out a muffled groan, and fell to the ground.
Her arm was instantly bruised and purple, and the teacup shattered.
"Mother! Father!"
Itachi Uchiha rushed out of the room, staring in horror at the scene before him.
Fugaku Uchiha was breathing heavily, his Mangekyou Sharingan was spinning wildly, but his vision was becoming increasingly blurry.
He could only see two blurry figures, and he couldn't even make out their expressions.
He roared, "Itachi, this is none of your business! Go back to your room!"
Uchiha Itachi gritted his teeth, helped his mother up, and silently left the room.
That night, Fugaku Uchiha's house seemed to have changed.
The next morning, Fugaku Uchiha did not go to the Hokage Building to work, but instead took the day off.
On the third day, the situation remained the same.
Uchiha Mitsunori stood at the window of the guard department office, watching Uchiha Itachi, who was only 5 years old, carrying a vegetable basket and preparing to go home alone.
Itachi was small and thin; the basket was almost half his body size, but he walked steadily without a trace of complaint on his face.
Uchiha Mitsunori frowned deeply: "Fugaku... what's going on? Have they even abandoned their home?"
He closed his eyes and quietly activated... Kaleidoscope Eye Technique: Eye of God!
His gaze pierced through the wall and landed in Fugaku Uchiha's house, where he saw Mikoto Uchiha tidying up the room.
However, she had more than twenty bruises on her arms, back, and waist!
"...I never expected...Fugaku would hit a woman?"
Uchiha Mitsumine deactivated his eye technique and instantly appeared beside Uchiha Itachi.
"Itachi, why are you out buying groceries? Where's your mother?"
Uchiha Itachi lowered his head and said softly, "Mom... has something to do at home."
"Perfect timing, I need to go see the clan chief."
"Uncle Sanfeng, Father... seems like a different person?"
Uchiha Mitsunori looked into the distance and sighed.
"Chief Fugaku's early life was too perfect; he never encountered any setbacks. Now, his eyesight is deteriorating, and he can't accept... himself as he is now."
