I Am Fugaku Uchiha

The conversation between the two of them piqued Fugaku’s curiosity. He left Obito to practice, but it was almost night, and Obito had barely grasped the jutsu by then. He doubted that Obito could master it enough for combat, even given another day. He wanted to ask him, but they had already walked away.

He shook his head and made his way towards the Hokage office.

"Clan head Fugaku, I apologize to you on behalf of Lord Danzo for the misunderstanding that occurred yesterday." The Third Hokage spoke as he blew out a smoke ring.

"It’s nothing serious. There’s no need for you to apologize, Hokage-sama. Besides, Lord Danzo already apologized yesterday." Fugaku replied.

He knew that if he had been weaker, he might have been killed there and no one would have found out. How could he receive such an apology, then? But from the Third Hokage’s stance, he could tell that Danzo had also lied to him. Fugaku smirked at that.

It seemed that Danzo had a lot of secrets. He had learned his secret, so he would definitely try to eliminate him. No, it should be said that Danzo had always wanted to get rid of him, regardless of whether he knew his secret or not.

This was evident from the fact that he had taken the Wood Release scroll this time. But now he doesn’t really care about Danzo, at least for the time being.

The Third Hokage smiled at Fugaku, who maintained a stoic face: "Well, let’s not dwell on that matter. Let’s talk about your....... moral education. What kind of course is that?"

Fugaku smiled and replied, "This is a long-term plan. The Uchiha clan has been misunderstood by the Civilian and rest ninjas of Konoha.

To change their perspective, we need to work on three aspects: the Uchiha clan, the Civilian ninjas, and the children.

I can control the Uchiha clan's attitude towards the Civilian, and the Hokage will have to influence the Civilian’s attitude towards the Uchiha clan.

And this course is to teach every graduating ninja the true history and role of the Uchiha clan."

Fugaku’s thought made the Third Hokage ponder. He was considering the feasibility of this plan.

In simple terms, there were three aspects: the Uchiha clan, the Civilian villagers, and the students.

This moral education was mainly for the young students of the Ninja Academy. They would be educated from a young age and instilled with the idea that the Uchiha were the founding heroes of Konoha and are now heroes who protect Konoha.

Fugaku knew that no one would dare ask these things of the hokage. It was too blunt and too out of line. He could do it because of his strength and position.

And now he didn’t care about these things because his only goal was to restore Uchiha's reputation. He had nothing to hide.

He remembered the reason why the Uchiha clan chose to rebel. Wasn’t it because they were oppressed and had no choice? but they never had a chance to become Hokage, and they were isolated in a distant area.

And the Konoha echelon still distrusted them and wanted to eliminate them at any moment. Anyone would be unhappy. They endured for eight years after the night of the Nine-Tails attack, which showed how much patience the Uchiha had.

Seeing the Third Hokage hesitate, Fugaku said, "Of course you have the final say, Hokage-sama. You can judge by the future performance of my clan members. I’m not in a hurry."

He knew that the Third Hokage wouldn’t last for long, according to his plan, but it would be better to implement this matter sooner rather than later. If the third hokage really couldn’t be killed, he would have to accept reality.

The Uchiha clan wanted to restore their reputation, but military merits were not enough. They also needed to win the hearts of the people.

Winning the hearts of the people is the same as winning the world, as George Washington and Abraham Lincoln demonstrated in the history of America.

George Washington was a formidable leader. However, both of them gained the trust and support of their people, which led to their success.

What made Washington win the Revolutionary War and become the first president of the United States? What enabled Lincoln to guide the country through the Civil War and end slavery? It was their strong bond with the masses.

Fugaku’s goal was simple. He wanted to make the Uchiha clan respected and feared by everyone, like Naruto in the anime. But Naruto was just one person, while the Uchiha were a clan.

He felt like a gamer who had been playing strategy games and had randomly picked the Uchiha clan in the Naruto world.

The Third Hokage needed some time to think. This was a serious matter. He was not impatient. He left the Hokage office and headed to Danzo’s place to return the Wood Release scroll. He had no use for it anyway.

"Lady Tsunade? What can I do for you?"

He was surprised when a blonde woman stopped him on the way. Fugaku looked at the woman, admiring her beauty.
