Naruto: Starting from the Uchiha and Senju bloodlines

Ten days later.

Sarutobi Hiruzen summoned Uchiha Shisui.

Because the Uchiha clan is gathering too frequently now, and Sarutobi Hiruzen's Anbu ninjas at the Nanga Shrine cannot monitor them, Sarutobi Hiruzen needs to find Uchiha Shisui to find out the situation.

Uchiha Shisui came to the Hokage's office and knelt on one knee: "Sandaime."

Sarutobi Hiruzen went straight to the point and asked, "Shisui, you should know that the Uchiha clan members are gathering frequently now, right?"

Uchiha Shisui replied: "Yes, during this period, basically every two or three days, a gathering will be held at Nanga Shrine."

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked, "What is the content of the Uchiha gathering?"

Uchiha Shisui answered truthfully: "A large part of the Uchiha clan is very dissatisfied with Konoha, and they hope that Fugaku can lead them to launch a coup and seize the power of Konoha."

Sarutobi Hiruzen exuded a fierce aura: "So, what is Fugaku's attitude?"

Uchiha Shisui replied: "Fugaku didn't agree, but he didn't refuse on the spot, so his attitude is unclear."

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought silently.

After a long time, Uchiha Shisui suggested: "Sandaime, I have an idea."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, "Go ahead, Shisui."

Uchiha Shisui opened his Mangekyō Sharingan and said to Sarutobi Hiruzen, "Third Hokage, my Mangekyō Sharingan houses a pupil technique called Kotoamatsukami, which can directly invade the opponent's brain without being noticed and permanently and completely modify the opponent's will.

However, after using it, there will be a cooling time of more than ten years and it cannot be used again. Therefore, I have not used this eye technique since I opened the Mangekyō Sharingan.

If Fugaku really agrees to launch a coup, I will use Kotoamatsukami to modify Fugaku's will, make Fugaku loyal to Konoha forever, and prevent the coup from happening."

When Sarutobi Hiruzen heard about Uchiha Shisui's eye technique, his first reaction was fear.

If Uchiha Shisui used it on him, wouldn't he, the Hokage, become his puppet?

But fortunately, Uchiha Shisui is his man.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent for a while again, then sighed, "Shisui, even if you change Fugaku's mind, it's only a temporary solution. Maybe you can stop the coup this time, but what about next time?

Fugaku is not the only one who is dissatisfied with Konoha. There are many other Uchiha members who are dissatisfied with Konoha. They can force Fugaku to launch a coup. If Fugaku refuses to launch a coup because of your eye technique, perhaps those Uchiha members will bypass Fugaku and continue the coup.

But we don’t want Uchiha and Konoha to reach that point. If they reach that point, there will be no room for maneuver.

But how can we trust the Uchiha now? It would be great if all the members of the Uchiha clan accepted the will of fire like you, Shisui, and were willing to build Konoha with us."

Uchiha Shisui felt so ashamed that he put his head on the ground: "I'm really sorry, Sandaime."

Sarutobi Hiruzen walked up to Uchiha Shisui and helped him up from the ground.

"Shisui, there's no need to apologize. This isn't your fault."

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked Uchiha Shisui to sit on the chair, and then suddenly talked about the Hyuga clan: "Shisui, do you know anything about the Hyuga clan?"

Although Uchiha Shisui was very curious about why Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly mentioned the Hyuga clan, he still replied: "The Hyuga clan and the Uchiha clan are one of the elder families that joined the Hidden Leaf Village during the founding of the Land of Fire."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and said, "That's right, but do you know why we always trust the Hyuga clan?"

Uchiha Shisui shook his head.

Sarutobi Hiruzen explained to Uchiha Shisui: "Because of the system of the Hyuga clan's main family and branch families, the main family members of the Hyuga clan, although few in number, are absolutely loyal to Konoha, and although there are many people in the branch families, the people of the main family restrain the people of the branch families through curse seals.

As long as the people of the main family remain loyal to Konoha, then all the people of the branch family will also be loyal to Konoha, so we never worry about any problems with the Hyuga clan.

What the Uchiha clan is doing now not only worries us, but everyone else in Konoha is worried. Even if this incident is resolved, no one can guarantee that such a thing will not happen again in the Uchiha clan in the future.

Once the seeds of distrust are planted, it is like a broken mirror, which will have cracks even if it is repaired.

Moreover, the repaired mirror also needs to be taped together with broken pieces to ensure that it will not break again. You can continue to use this mirror to look at the mirror. Do you understand this principle, Shisui?"

Uchiha Shisui's face turned a little pale.

He already understood what Sarutobi Hiruzen meant.

The Uchiha clan is the broken mirror. To repair the mirror, they need to use tape, or restraint, to stick the broken mirror back together before they can continue to use it.

And restraint is the curse.

Seeing Uchiha Shisui's pale face, Sarutobi Hiruzen patted Uchiha Shisui on the shoulder and said, "I know this is hard for you and the entire Uchiha clan to accept. After all, you are such a proud clan.

However, the Uchiha clan is planning to commit something as heinous as a coup. Even if you, Shisui, succeed in stopping it this time, we dare not trust them anymore.

Using the curse seal to restrain the Uchiha people can enable us to trust each other and no longer have unnecessary suspicions.

In the future, after the rift is repaired, Konoha and the Uchiha clan will be close and work together, and there will be no need for the curse to restrain them, so the curse will naturally be lifted.

Shisui, this is the only way I can think of to resolve the conflict between Konoha and Uchiha and restore trust. If you have a better idea, please feel free to bring it up. Maybe we can come up with a solution that satisfies both parties."

After Uchiha Shisui's expression changed several times, he stood up from the chair and knelt on one knee in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen again.

"No need to mention it again. The Sandaime's method is the only feasible way at present. I agree with the Sandaime's method!"

Hearing Uchiha Shisui's words, Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and helped Uchiha Shisui up again.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said sincerely: "Shisui, you are the person I trust the most, and I also believe that you are the only one who can do it. We all hope that Konoha and the Uchiha clan can coexist peacefully, so for Konoha and the Uchiha clan, we need to work together."

Uchiha Shisui's eyes were slightly red: "Sandaime, thank you for always believing in me, I will definitely not let you down!"
