Naruto Dream Fulfillment Master!

Chapter 74 Let Sasuke go and help out too.

Fugaku's piercing gaze sent a chill down Sasuke's spine.

He quickly lowered his head and respectfully apologized, "I'm sorry, Father, I... stayed up a little late last night."

After saying this, he sat down properly on the futon next to Fugaku, knees together, hands flat on his knees, trying his best to make his behavior impeccable and not daring to overstep the bounds in the slightest.

Even though he already knew the so-called "truth".

But when he actually faced Nisan, Sasuke still couldn't look him in the eye.

That nightmare replayed relentlessly in his mind again and again, every detail as clear as a brand.

The fear and despair that penetrated to the bone had such a profound impact on him that every time he saw Itachi's handsome and gentle face, an indescribable chill would rise uncontrollably in his heart.

He subtly raised his eyelashes and glanced at Nissan sitting opposite him out of the corner of his eye.

Itachi seemed oblivious to his unusual behavior, calmly discussing matters of the police department with his father, occasionally taking a sip of tea with an elegant and composed demeanor.

Sasuke quickly looked away, his mind a jumble of thoughts.

How perceptive Fugaku was!

He glanced at Sasuke with a strange look, a hint of doubt flashing in his deep eyes.

What's wrong with this child today?

Contrary to his usual behavior, he didn't stick to Itachi like a leech, asking all sorts of questions and chattering away. This was rather unusual.

Itachi seemed to have noticed Sasuke's unusual behavior and the probing look his father was giving him.

His long, slender fingers holding the teacup paused slightly. He sighed softly, said nothing, and simply turned his gaze to the window, where the hydrangeas in the courtyard swayed gently in the morning breeze.

Fugaku took in all these subtle changes, but he didn't delve into them.

He was already used to his youngest son occasionally throwing a tantrum.

He simply steered the conversation back to the issue of manpower in the police department.

"If the police department is short-staffed, I think we should send Sasuke to help out as well."

[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Sasuke have been detected! Emotional value +200!]

Upon hearing this, not only Sasuke was stunned, but even Itachi frowned slightly.

Fugaku continued, "Anyway, he's already graduated from the Ninja Academy. Going to the police department beforehand to familiarize himself with the environment and understand the work will benefit his future development. In a few years, he should officially join the police department and take on the responsibilities of his clan."

Upon hearing this, Itachi immediately frowned deeply.

"Father, Sasuke is still too young. He just graduated and has almost no practical combat experience. Moreover, the situation in Konoha is too chaotic and complicated right now. The Chunin Exams are approaching, and there are all sorts of ninjas from different villages. Unknown dangers lurk both inside and outside the village. Let him go to the police department now, in case something unexpected happens..."

"snort!"

Fugaku snorted coldly, interrupting Itachi, and said impatiently, "Danger? When you were twelve, weren't you already a Jonin and a capable officer in the police department, successfully completing several challenging S-rank missions? What's wrong with letting Sasuke go with you and gain more experience?"

"My son, the future of our clan, how can you be so lazy and complacent every day! Flowers in a greenhouse cannot withstand the wind and rain! Only through true trials can you become a strong and capable person!"

Fugaku's words struck Sasuke's heart like a heavy hammer, and also made Itachi's expression darken slightly.

auditorium.

"Wow! Could this stern-faced, super-fierce-looking middle-aged man be Sasuke's father?"

Ino's beautiful light blue eyes widened in surprise as she leaned close to Sakura's ear and whispered, "He looks so strict! He seems a hundred times fiercer than my dad! But... I remember Sasuke-kun doesn't... have... family in real life, right? How come he's in my dream..."

Her voice was filled with confusion and sympathy.

Upon hearing this, Sakura patiently explained, "Ino, in this dream world, many things are different from reality. Sasuke's clan and parents are still alive."

"Eh—is that so?" Ino let out a drawn-out exclamation, nodding as if she understood, her big eyes still sparkling with curiosity. "That's really... amazing."

"Hmph, if you ask me, Sasuke's dad is still no good, he's too fierce!"

Naruto couldn't help but chime in, pouting and saying with a resentful look, "He's nothing like my father! My dad would never be so fierce to me! He's gentle and strong, and he's incredibly kind to me! He never forces me to do anything I don't like!"

When talking about his father, Naruto couldn't help but smile with pride and happiness.

"Huh???"

Ino's eyes widened even more. She looked at Naruto, who looked smug, and then at Sakura, who seemed completely unfazed. Her face was full of question marks, and she almost jumped out of her seat.

This loser... how come... how come he has a dad?

Of course, she was only wondering about it to herself.

[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Yamanaka Ino have been detected! Emotional value +200!]

"What's so strange about that?" Sakura waved her hand dismissively. "Naruto's dad is the fourth..."

"Sakura." Kakashi, who had been silently leaning back in his chair, suddenly spoke, interrupting her.

His voice still had that lazy tone, but it carried a hint of sternness.

It's as if to say that some things are better left unsaid.

Sakura was about to speak when Kakashi reminded her, and she suddenly realized that she had almost let something slip again.

Her face flushed slightly, and she stuck out her tongue awkwardly before shutting her mouth, not daring to say anything more.

[Ding! Sakura Haruno's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +100!]

Ino was even more confused by their deliberately mysterious conversation. She blinked her beautiful eyes, looked at one person, then at the other, and was still completely baffled. She could only puff out her cheeks and mutter to herself, "Honestly, they're keeping us in suspense again..."

on the screen.

Faced with his father's unquestionable command and his brother's worried gaze, Sasuke was overwhelmed with mixed feelings and didn't know how to respond.

He was indeed very fascinated by working in the police department.

The Uchiha clan has been in charge of the Konoha Police Department for generations. This is the family's honor and also the responsibility he has been taught since childhood.

The opportunity to gain early experience in the police department and get involved in real ninja work was undoubtedly a huge temptation for him.

Itachi hesitated for a moment, as if he wanted to try to persuade Sasuke again. He was about to say something.

Just then, Sasuke, who had been silent all along, suddenly raised his head, looked firmly at Fugaku and Itachi, and spoke in a calm tone that surprised everyone: "Father, Nii-san, I... I'm willing to go to the police department to help!"
