During episode 455, I noticed the absolute ability to predict (so long as the choices were made at the time) the outcome of any situation. This is also why he and his wife ([Mikoto] Itachi's mother) knew and were waiting in their home, for Itachi to make his choice. Fugaku did NOT know the choice his son would make, but would know that his son would make either the ultimate sacrifice for either his clan or his village.

These facts are indisputable.

I simply don't agree with the choice of words there-in with "Although, not much is known about his Mangekyō Sharingan."

In fact we know a WHOLE LOT. He can SEE the future of any choices that are made. That is why in VERY early episodes he reacts with consternation yet acceptance of the CHOICE Itachi has made.

EDIT: I would even go so far as to say that he "knew" that Naruto would come along, and the Itachi would befriend Naruto; even-though, it was far into the future. There would be no other reason why he and his ife would have submitted to the "whims [the will of the village]" unless they knew what was in their son's heart.
