“To go from here, you should be able to see or feel the flow of Natural Energy. If you can do it, then you can go, but If you can't do that, WEB, you will never be able to leave this domain. ” Kuroka said.
Shisui asked again, "Is there no other way?"
Kuroka shook her head, "Unfortunately not."
Shisui sighed, he expected this result and was ready to deal with it, but when it actually happened, he could only sigh.
After a moment of thought, Shisui looked towards Kuroka, and asked, “Then Kuroka-sama, can you teach me... um... how to understand Natural Energy? And well... Senjutsu?”
“Indeed, I can help you master Senjutsu. If there is no talent in this field, even if I teach you, it is impossible for you to learn Senjutsu.” – Kuroka replied without hiding.
Shisui knows this to be true.Senjutsu is not something that just anyone can learn… he had to find a way to obtain the Nekomata Domain and return to the Village as soon as possible, because his instinct told him that something bad would happen in the Village.
So after making up his mind, Shisui looked at Kuroka with a determined look and asked. "Kuroka-sama, what are your requirements to teach me Senjutsu?"
Kuroka looked at Shisui with a hint of surprise on her face. She did not expect Shisui to be so straightforward with her request, but she liked a straightforward man, therefore, she smiled faintly, and said, "I only have one condition... you must marry me!"
"Huh?" – Shisui looked at Kuroka as if she doubted her ears, “Sorry, I didn't hear you clearly.. Can you.. repeat that?”.
"As I said, I want you to marry me." Kuroko.
This time Shisui heard it clearly, but when she heard it, her eyes turned to buttons, a puzzled expression, and her brain seemed to stop functioning and could not help but ask with a strange expression, “Are you… you serious?”
He had expected and thought of many possible conditions for Kuroka, but he never expected her to present such conditions.
Kuroka nodded, “I'm really serious, His~”
…
The Patriarch Uchiha House.
"Nii-san, wake up, time for breakfast."
In the bright morning light, 13 or 14-year-old Itachi slowly opened his eyes while listening to a familiar voice and seeing the familiar face of his cute and innocent sister, Sasuke.
Itachi subconsciously raised his hand and flicked Sasuke's forehead while smiling, "Good Morning Sasuke."
Sasuke pursed his lips and said, "Nii-san, you slacker, get up quickly, otherwise Tou-san will nag you all day."
Itachi smiled slightly and nodded, "Yes-yes."
Then after feeling refreshed, he follows Sasuke to the dining room where he finds that the always serious Tou-san seems to be chatting with his Oka-san who is preparing breakfast for the foursome family, and they both had smiles on their faces.
Shortly after, Oka-san prepared a fragrant breakfast on the dining table, and Itachi who was sitting next to Sasuke clapped after praying, "Itadakimasu!" then start eating breakfast.
After eating breakfast in warm silence, the foursome family chatted casually about various hot topics.
The delicious breakfast and the fun family time made Itachi's mood even better.
Itachi smiled gently while listening to Sasuke's flattery as he repeated his academy life which sometimes elicited giggles and small laughs from Oka-san and Tou-san.
His ordinary and peaceful daily life was exactly what Itachi always stood for.
Itachi was shocked and fell into a brief trance.
But Itachi didn't need to think too much, because Sasuke beside him suddenly said, “Oh, I know, I know Tou-san. Today is the Inauguration of the Hokage, a very important day. I heard Shisui-nii-san mention that today Sandaime-Oji-sama will retire and pass down the position of Hokage Konoha to his successor!”
Fugaku folded his hands across his chest and nodded with a serious expression, “Unlike Nidaime and Sandaime, the person who replaced them greatly appreciated our Uchiha Clan. This time the entire Clan must attend the succession ceremony to show our support to him!”
Itachi nodded quickly, "Yes, Tou-san!" and thought of the only person worthy of being Hokage in his eyes.
After a while, the foursome family got ready for the upcoming succession ceremony. The four of them were wearing traditional clothes that would be worn at the Hokage Inauguration Ceremony. On top of their casual clothes, each of them had a white Haori with Fire Kanji imprinted on the back.
As soon as the four families left the Patriarch's house, they met with Uchiha Izumi, and her Oka-san who also went to the Hokage building, and soon after met with Shisui.
When Itachi noticed Shisui, Itachi stepped forward to greet Shisui, "Shisui-san, are you also going to participate in the Hokage Inauguration of Godaime-sama?"
Shisui said with a warm smile, “Today is the day that he finally became Hokage. How can I miss such an important day?”
Itachi said, "Then let's hurry."
Shisui nodded, "Yes."
As they left the Uchiha Clan district and headed towards the Hokage Building, many other Uchiha Clans also walked towards the Hokage Building to participate in the Godaime Hokage Inauguration ceremony.
The streets of Konoha are also very crowded now.Villages flooded the streets with enthusiasm and vigor, slowly walking towards the Hokage Building.
The Uchiha Clan was also present in the crowd, all having gentle smiles on their faces as they had some sort of conversation with their friends and acquaintances among the Civil Shinobi of the other large Clans as well as the Civil Class.
There were no restrictions in people's hearts, and everyone accepted the Uchiha Clan as an integral part of Konoha.
Itachi's heart was filled with warmth as he looked at this scene and continued walking towards the Hokage Building while having casual chats with Shisui, Izumi, Sasuke, and his Tou-san, while Oka-san was having a very important conversation with Oka-Izumi.san that Itachi did not pay much attention to.
When they reached the plaza in front of the Hokage Building, everyone finally saw the person who would succeed as Godaime Hokage, who was the only person who could succeed, he stood quietly on the roof of the Hokage Building with his wife adjusting his Hokage Haori.
Shisui lifted his head and looked at the roof of the Hokage Building, "Today has finally come, I have been waiting for this day for so many years."
Itachi nodded with a smile, "Yes, there is finally a Hokage who can understand us Uchiha, and control us well."
The resolute Fugaku on the side also showed a rare smile, "Itachi, he told me personally that he is very optimistic that you replace him as Rokudaime Hokage."
Sasuke was surprised, "Nii-san will become Hokage?"
Itachi shook his head slightly, "Tou-san, I have a lot to learn what it means to be a Shinobi, being a Hokage is something I never even thought of."
Fugaku glanced at Itachi, and said, “No need to rush, you are still too young and can slowly learn things over time and under his guidance. In addition, he told me that Konoha should also have an Uchiha as the Hokage.
Seeing the faces of Tou-san, Oka-san, Otouto, Izumi, Shisui, and the other Uchiha Clans that were encouraging and hopeful, Itachi asked himself, 'Can I really do it? Can I really be as good as him?'
As Itachi was busy with his thoughts, suddenly the audience cheered and the Inauguration Ceremony officially began.
The ceremony was organized by Sandaime Hokage, in the presence of various high-level village leaders including Elder Koharu, Elder Mitokado, Elder Danzo, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Kakashi.
