Kaida was not even shocked after hearing that. Life was not fair, and this statement can't be more true in the ninja world.
Even though the Uchiha did all they could for the village, they couldn't truly become a part of the village even after sacrificing so many ninjas for the clan.
"Uncle, do you have any other books such as this?" Kaida asked the main question on his mind because even though the Uchiha clan had faced many injustices in its past, there was nothing Kaida could do to make things right. It would be better to focus on increasing his strength now so that such things could be stopped from happening in the future.
For example, if Uchiha Madara was alive at the time when Tobirama became the Hokage, the village wouldn't have hidden the actual credits of the Uchihas, no matter how much they wanted to do so.
Because from what I remember about Uchiha Madara, he wouldn't have allowed his clan members to face any injustice, even at the cost of going to war against Konoha.
Which eventually happened, but only because the village started thinking the Uchiha would not fight back like a dog that would only bark and not bite.
In case the coup had been successfully implemented, half of Konoha would have been burned, no matter whether the Uchiha won or lost.
They currently have enough power to go against any great ninja village except Konoha because the number of S-rank Ninjas the Uchiha have is similar to the amount any other village has.
With Shisui and Fugaku leading, and many jonin with 3 tomoe sharingan following them, they could easily go against other ninja villages.
If we compare them with the rest of Konoha, the situation will change. With 2 Sannin, Hiruzen, Danzo, Kakashi, Might Guy, and other clan leaders, they could easily outmatch the Uchihas. But even in that case, the losses Konoha will suffer will be many times greater than what they will suffer in a full-blown ninja war.
Minoru looked toward Kaida and said, "No, but Fugaku does have similar books. If you want, you can directly ask him for them. Just tell him that I gave you permission."
"Do you also have any personal relation with the Clan head?" Kaida asked because of how casually Minoru took Fugaku's name.
"No, but I am the clan elder of the Uchiha clan, and my order should have some weightage in the clan, right?" Minoru asked.
Kaida nodded his head, then asked, "Um, Grandpa, did you have any particular reason for coming here?"
"Yes, I just got a message that all the preparations are completed, and Shisui is coming to pick you up," Minoru replied.
'I just hope Brother had used his chance to its full potential,' Kaida thought after remembering his conversation with Shisui after he told Kaida about Danzo.
...
(right after Shisui told Kaida about Danzo)"Brother, can't we somehow access and change someone's thoughts like in genjutsu, but the effect should be permanent instead of temporary, and no one could detect it?" Kaida asked.
Shisui was shocked after hearing this question as it was the perfect description of what his mangekyo sharingan ability, Kotoamatsukami, does. Since he had not told Kaida about this and only the other person who knew about this was Fugaku himself, there was no way Kaida would know about his Kotoamatsukami.
Since he didn't want to tell Kaida about his Kotoamatsukami, Shisui just said, "Yes, we Uchiha do have a trump card that could achieve something similar. Why are you asking that?"
Even though he trusted his little brother, he didn't trust other people. What if someone got this information from Kaida? It would be very lethal. The ability is very dangerous, so Shisui wanted to keep the people who knew about his mangekyo ability to a minimum.
"Brother, the only reason Danzo had an upper hand against us is that he had the full support of Lord Third, right?" Kaida asked.
"Yes."
"Then if we use that trump card on Lord Third and just make him a little less partial and let him see what Danzo is doing can lead to the partition of the village, then Danzo will lose his most powerful support, and we will get a very strong ally," Kaida said.
Listening to this, Shisui went into some deep thinking. Since he could only use the ability once a decade, he had some reservations about using it. But thinking about what this single move could achieve actually removed all reservations from Shisui's mind.
"You are right; we could totally use this method," Shisui said.
"Yes, but we have to make it look as natural as possible. Even if others could not detect the changes, they would get suspicious of us if a huge change appeared in the Hokage's behavior just before we decided to make our move against Danzo."
"Don't worry; we will plan this perfectly. If this idea is executed perfectly, then the Uchihas can actually become a part of Konoha and not remain a part of Konoha in name only," Shisui said.
"Brother, while you are at it, can you also fulfill a selfish request of mine?" Kaida asked, acting all cute.
"Stop it, it's gross when someone tries to act cute," Shisui said, making a face like he wanted to vomit.
"I know," Kaida said with a red face.
hahahaha Shisui laughed at Kaida's red face.
"So what do you want?" Shisui asked after laughing for some time.
"While you are changing the Hokage's thoughts using that TRUMP CARD, can you also add an idea of nurturing me to the best he can by giving me jutsu like the Flying Thunder God and Spirit Transformation technique," Kaida said, after which he began thinking.
'There is not much I need to ask Hiruzen about, only these two jutsu are the limit of the best things I can get from him. There is no way in hell that he will teach me the Reaper Death Seal or Edo Tensei, and the rest of the jutsu are much easier to learn for other ninjas. Like, the Eight Gates can easily be learned from Guy, so why would I waste my time pursuing Hiruzen about teaching me these jutsu?'
"Okay, I will try, but make sure to teach me those jutsu as well," Shisui said.
"Why would you need the Flying Thunder God jutsu? You are already known as Shisui the Teleporter," Kaida asked with a face one would make seeing a pampered child crying that he is not loved enough.
"That is different from actual teleportation. Also, one can't be too powerful in our world," Shisui said with a genuine smile.
