Chapter 59: Father and Son Conversation



Chapter 59: Father and Son Conversation

Itachi was looking at the person who saved him but when he heard him calling out his name he couldn't help but asking.

"Do you know me, Mister"

"I am a friend of your father, Fugaku"

Kozuki didn't have much deep friendship with Fugaku.

It was just because he saved his life from A that Fugaku was grateful so they became normal friends.

"My father, Mr. can I know your name"

Itachi asked curiously as he wanted to know more about this friend of his father.

"I'm Kozuki now, listen Kid I don't know why you jumped from that cliff but don't throw away your life like this"

Kozuki squatted down in front of Itachi and decided to throw those thoughts out of his mind that eventually led to Annihilation.

Itachi from such a young age after witnessing the war completely became pacifist.

With the cruel choice of choosing village or the clan, he to save more lives killed his own clan.

It was these thoughts that led him to become what he was in the future.

Itachi felt he had heard this name somewhere but when he heard the latter part he couldn't help but asking the question he has been confused of.

"Mr. What is life"

Itachi looked at Kozuki wanting to know the answer.

"Life, Huh"

Kozuki immediately started thinking of some impactful quote from his previous life just to correct this Kid.

"Listen Kid, for me, Life is just a moment, in that moment we talk, we laugh, we kill, we save, a moment has no future no past, so just live the moment fully and don't think much about the future"

Kozuki hoped that his words can change the mind of the young Itachi.

Kozuki stood up after lecturing Itachi and went back to train once again.

Itachi behind was confused by his words as he was still too little to understand his words, but he remembered these lines firmly and went towards his home.

He was already quite late outside and his mom would get more and more angry if he didn't return soon.

______________

Uchiha Land.

Patriarch Fugaku House.

During the war, after Kozuki left the cloud village, Kawasaki paid for his arrogance and was killed by A.

Kawasaki thought that since a kid like kozuki can defeat him, then A might just be a big bluff.

But who knew the moment A Used Lightning Chakra Mode, the next moment he felt the world around him spin and the fell down his head bleeding.

His death led to the opening of Mangekyo for Fugaku but he didn't reveal it and kept it hidden.

After his death, Fugaku without any trouble became the next Patriarch.

The door of the house was pushed open as Itachi entered the house.

Coming to his father's room, he saw him sitting on the ground sipping tea calmly.

"Oh it's you Itachi"

Fugaku had a smile seeing his son as not only this Kid was talented, he was also very thoughtful making him to proud to have such a son.

"Father I want to ask you something"

Itachi ran towards his father and stood in front of him.

"Um"

Fugaku nodded in response.

"Father do you have a friend called Kozuki Shiro"

Itachi asked as he wanted to know more about that person who saved him and told him about life.

"How do you know him Itachi"

Fugaku was surprised as he put down the tea in his hand on the table and looked at him curiously for an answer.

"Father, I fell down from a cliff by mistake and that person saved me"

Itachi was a bit guilty but he didn't dare tell the truth that he nearly committed suicide.

"How can you be so careless but it looks like I owe him twice now"

Fugaku sighed as both father and son owed their lives to the same person.

"He is also known as Sword Demon in the ninja world, remember Itachi if you see him again treat him respectfully and if possible try to make a good relationship with him"

Fugaku told his son about Kozuki but didn't forget to remind him to be polite to him.

Fugaku wanted to have a good relationship with Kozuki as with his talent he could, maybe not the fourth but the fifth or sixth would surely be Kozuki.

Having a good relation with the future Hokage was extremely beneficial to the Uchiha so he didn't want to let any chance for the rise of Uchiha go in vain.

"I understand Father"

Itachi left the room of his father and was still surprised as he never thought the person who saved him was so powerful.

He went back to his room and wrote the words that Kozuki told him on a diary afraid of forgetting them.

After that he went to meet a good friend of his Uchiha Shisui who trained him everyday.
