The Road to the Throne of White Eyes
Chapter 50: Affection is always misled by ruthlessness
That night, when Hinata Feng was hugging Yuhi Kurenai and having fun, Uchiha Shisui felt that he had no future.
During this family gathering, the emotions of the clan members became even more agitated, and many people unscrupulously criticized Elder Shimura and even the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Some members of the neutral and conservative factions were also instigated and completely turned to the option of rebellion.
Shisui originally wanted to work with the clan leader to suppress the excited emotions of the clan members and change their idea that they had no will of fire.
However, before he stood up to express his opinion, the head of the Fugaku clan, as if unable to bear the pressure, spoke first and showed a certain rebellious tendency.
Seeing this, Shisui could only fall into desperate silence. Without the cooperation of the clan leader, it would be impossible for him alone to suppress the crazy ideas of his clan members.
However, even if he wanted to be a nobody, his clan members did not forget him, the so-called number one master of the Uchiha clan.
A large group of clansmen surrounded him passionately, and actually asked him to use his identity as an Anbu to obtain more information and the movements of the Hokage.
They thought it would be best for Shisui to take advantage of the opportunity of being close to Sarutobi Hiruzen and assassinate him.
These fantasies left Shisui speechless. He could only temporarily put off his fellow clansmen by saying that the chances were slim, that such an assassination was not in keeping with the Uchiha clan's identity, and that it would be impossible to achieve effective cooperation.
In the end, no matter how hard Uchiha Shisui tried to dispel his clan members' delusion, many radical clan members began to imagine the Uchiha clan ruling Konoha Village and dominating all the other ninja villages at the clan meeting.
After barely keeping calm until the clan meeting ended, Uchiha Shisui left dejectedly.
He did not go home afterwards, but found a big tree in the dark and silent forest and stood there all night. That night, Uchiha Shisui was thinking about how to save his family and prevent the village from suffering any losses.
After standing there for several hours, Shisui's clothes were soaked with dew. Just as the sun was rising, Uchiha exhaled a long breath of white air.
"There's no other way, we can only take this road!"
Enveloped in the golden sunlight, Shisui's hesitation dissipated, and he gritted his teeth and made up his mind to go back and report to the Hokage.
Uchiha Shisui swung his arms back, performed the instant body technique, stepped on the treetops, and quickly jumped towards the Hokage Building. Today was originally his day to go on duty in the Anbu, so he took the opportunity to report the situation of the clan meeting and propose the only solution to the problem.
In the Hokage Building, Sarutobi Hiruzen came to the office early in the morning to start working.
Looking out the window at the bustling Konoha Village, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a surge of pride. This was all the result of his hard work. Based solely on his diligence, he considered himself the strongest Hokage of all time. Of course, his strength was certainly not inferior to that of the previous Hokage.
However, his good mood for the day was soon ruined.
As the door was suddenly pushed open, a familiar old face came into view.
"Huruzen, the Uchiha clan gathered again last night, and Shisui hasn't reported to you yet. I told you that the Uchiha clan can't be trusted, so we still have to take action in advance!"
Looking at this wrinkled, gloomy and cold old face, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a strange sense of familiarity.
"Don't be so arbitrary, Shisui is different, he is..."
As he was arguing with Shimura Danzo, the voice of the Anbu on duty came from outside the door, "Hokage-sama, Uchiha Shisui requests to see you."
"Let him in," Sarutobi Hiruzen ordered calmly, while giving Shimura Danzo a smug look that said "just watch."
Danzo did not give Sarutobi Hiruzen the chance to continue to be proud. As he spoke, he instantly hid behind the screen.
"Lord Hokage"
As soon as Shisui entered the room, he quickly stepped forward and began to salute. Looking at the Hokage who had started working so early, his heart was full of admiration and longing.
Shisui has always hoped that he could become a great ninja like Hokage and protect his village and family.
Looking at the kind smile of the Hokage, Shisui felt very uneasy. Why did the tribe members doubt such a great and kind Hokage? Why couldn't they think more about the village?!
While worrying about the village, Shisui was also worried about his family, so he was a little hesitant for a moment and didn't know how to start.
Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled, "Shisui! What's the matter with you coming to see me so early in the morning?"
Uchiha Shisui knelt on one knee, lowered his head dejectedly, and his voice trembled, "Hokage-sama, the clan held another gathering last night, and this time the clan members were even more excited. I was originally prepared to stand with the clan leader and stop the clan members' impulsive behavior, but this time the clan leader has also begun to waver, and it is difficult for me alone to stop them."
Sarutobi Hiruzen felt his heart tighten. Although he really disliked the Uchiha clan, he did not want to force them to rebel. The consequences would be too serious.
Sarutobi Hiruzen took a long breath and tried to find a solution. "Uchiha is also a part of Konoha. I really don't want it to come to this. Civil war will cause great harm to both the village and the Uchiha clan."
Uchiha Shisui raised his head suddenly, his eyes burning with flames, "Hokage-sama, thank you for your understanding of the family. Please allow me to try one last time. This time I will use my awakened eye technique to completely block the delusions of the radical elements in the family!"
Eye Technique! Sarutobi Hiruzen recalled what Tobirama had taught him before, his eyes narrowed suddenly, and after a few seconds he slowly spoke: "Eye Technique, is it the rumored special ability of the Mangekyō Sharingan? I didn't expect you to have reached this level."
Filled with respect and trust for the Hokage, Shisui began to report without reservation, "Kotoamatsukami, this is the ability I awakened after opening the Mangekyō Sharingan. I can manipulate others unconsciously and completely change their minds. However, this ability consumes too much energy, and each use requires a cooldown of more than ten years. At the next clan meeting, I will use Kotoamatsukami on Clan Leader Fugaku, and ask him to join me in completely stopping the family's rebellion plan!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen felt himself take a breath of cold air, his heart filled with fear and dread, but his face was filled with relief and excitement. He quickly stood up, walked past Shisui, walked to the window, and looked at the scenery of Konoha.
"Great, Shisui, you are indeed the ninja with the greatest will of fire. Under your leadership, the Uchiha clan will surely be integrated into Konoha."
Uchiha Shisui knelt on the ground and dared not move. He felt very ashamed. His family had caused too much trouble to the village, but what he did was only a small way to remedy the situation.
"Take a few days off first, go back and prepare well, and go ahead. I'll arrange for the Anbu and Danzo to cooperate with you on the periphery!"
Shisui replied gratefully, "As you command," and then stood up to go back. In order to ensure the effectiveness of the pupil technique, he really needed to go back and have a good rest!
Not long after Uchiha Shisui left, Shimura Danzo came out with anger and greed in his eyes, and shouted at Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was still facing the window: "Huruzen, the Uchiha clan is too evil. Shisui, who has such ability, must be an evil guy too. We can't keep him here any longer!"
