Time passed, and two years later, Konohagakure village fell into an unprecedented tranquility. Neither the Uchiha clan nor the old party led by the Third Hokage made any moves.
But the more this happened, the more Minato dared not take it lightly. For Minato, this was more like the calm before the storm. He didn't believe that these two groups would remain indifferent in the face of his rising power.
"Hokage-sama, I have important matters to report."
At this moment, Shisui suddenly appeared next to Minato and said with a serious face.
Seeing Shisui's appearance, Minato waved his hand, and the Anbu protecting Minato immediately disappeared.
"Speak, what's the matter?"
After feeling that all the Anbu around him had disappeared, Shisui began to speak.
"People from our clan are planning to rebel."
Upon hearing Shisui's words, Minato was only shocked for a moment, and then immediately fell into calmness. He had anticipated this matter early on. If a major conflict did not break out, the people of the Uchiha clan would not give up.
"What does Uchiha Fugaku mean?"
"Fugaku, the clan leader's power, has gradually been emptied by several elders. Although he disagrees with the rebellion, his opinion is now negligible to the people of the Uchiha clan."
"Do you have any solutions?"
Minato continued to ask.
Hearing Minato's words, Shisui's expression struggled slightly.
"I can use my Mangekyou Sharingan's Genjutsu Kotoamatsukami to quell this rebellion."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing Shisui say this, Minato frowned, and a serious look appeared on his face.
"Kotoamatsukami? What kind of Ninjutsu is that?"
Minato asked in confusion.
"Kotoamatsukami is the strongest Genjutsu I obtained after activating Mangekyou Sharingan. It can directly modify a person's will. As long as I modify the dominant person's will, the rebellion will naturally be quelled."
To be honest, if it weren't for the last situation, Shisui wouldn't want to expose his Kotoamatsukami. Because he knows that this level of Genjutsu will definitely arouse the suspicion of the Hokage.
"You can modify a person's will?"
Minato's eyes revealed shock. If this Ninjutsu is really as Shisui described, then this technique is really too terrifying.
"Is there a way to crack it?"
Minato asked in a somewhat anxious tone.
"No."
Shisui shook his head.
"Unless a more powerful Genjutsu appears to cover my Kotoamatsukami, but I think there should be no Genjutsu that can surpass Kotoamatsukami."
Shisui is usually a very modest person, and he generally wouldn't say such things, but Kotoamatsukami indeed gave Shisui enough confidence.
"But do you really think that just modifying a person's will can quell this rebellion?"
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in the ears of the two, and the person who came was Hatake Satoru.
"Do you also know about this, Satoru?"
Hearing Satoru's words, Minato asked.
"Yes, Itachi has already told me that this rebellion of the Uchiha clan cannot be stopped."
"Why? As long as I modify the will of the great elder, everything will end."
Shisui asked in confusion, even a bit agitated.
"Shisui, you are too naive."
Satoru's words directly hit Shisui a bit.
"Even if your great elder no longer has the idea of rebellion, wouldn't your second elder become a leader? Wouldn't other elders become leaders?"
Hearing Hatake Satoru's follow-up question, Shisui was stunned for a moment. He hadn't thought of these things just now. He felt that with his Mangekyou Sharingan, he could perfectly solve everything.
"So Satoru, do you have any good solutions?"
Minato once again looked at Hatake Satoru.
"Just like I said before, as long as all the people involved in this plan are dealt with, all the problems will naturally disappear."
Hearing Satoru casually say such words, Shisui looked at Hatake Satoru with a shocked look.
And suddenly it occurred to him, Itachi seemed to have said something similar, now he understood, the reason why Itachi said that, must have been influenced by Hatake Satoru.
"We can't do that."
Shisui directly loudly denied Hatake Satoru's plan.
"Then what do you think we should do? Use your Genjutsu Kotoamatsukami? Your Kotoamatsukami should also not be able to be used indefinitely, right? Such a powerful technique, there must be many restrictions."
"But we can't just kill them all."
Although Shisui doesn't have a better solution right now, he really doesn't want to see his clansmen die at the hands of the village.
"If you could choose between a few more deaths for peace and dozens of deaths for peace, which one would you choose?"
Satoru directly issued a soul question to Shisui.
"Isn't there a way without sacrifice?"
Shisui's hands clenched tightly into fists, and he said with an unwilling face.
"Of course there is, if you can use Kotoamatsukami several times."
The sentence that Satoru said, basically equals to not saying anything.
"So I beg Hokage-sama, let me be the executioner. The trouble caused by my clansmen should be solved by my clansmen themselves."
"No, I hope Hokage-sama can give this task to me."
At this time, the door of the Hokage's office was suddenly opened, and Uchiha Itachi walked in with a determined face, staring straight into Minato's eyes, with no trace of fear in his eyes.
"Itachi?"
Seeing Itachi's appearance, both Shisui and Minato showed surprised expressions on their faces. Under normal circumstances, if there was someone standing outside the door, they would definitely know, but this time, all their attention was on how to solve this matter, so they naturally ignored some other places.
And they thought that no one would dare to eavesdrop on the Hokage's conversation.
Only Hatake Satoru's face was calm, he had known for a long time that Itachi was standing outside the door.
After reporting this matter to Satoru, Itachi planned to go to the Hokage to say it again, Unexpectedly, Shisui got the better of him, but he also let him hear the plan they were dealing with this time.
"No."
Shisui directly denied Itachi.
"Shisui, no one is more suitable than me to carry out this task."
Indeed, as the son of the clan leader, Itachi should be the one to solve Fugaku's worries.
And Hatake Satoru sat aside without saying a word, he would respect Itachi's choice.
"So Hokage-sama, I hope you can give this task to me."
Itachi bowed to Minato.
But Minato didn't answer, instead, he looked at Hatake Satoru, after all, whether Itachi should carry out this task or not, it's not something he could decide.
"Satoru-sensei, please."
Itachi bowed to Hatake Satoru again.
Seeing this, Satoru clenched his fist, his fingers making a cracking sound, obviously, his heart was not calm either.
