Hiashi's eyes widened as the delicate porcelain shattered on the floor, but neither of them paid it any mind. The room was filled with a tense silence, the echoes of the crash fading into the walls.
Hiashi's mind raced as he tried to grasp the magnitude of what Sasuke was implying. "And what exactly do you want from me?" Hiashi's face was a mask of shock and concern, his voice barely above a whisper.
Sasuke's expression turned serious, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Your clan is in a unique position. It's had lots of potential a point I am worried you might side with my enemies ."
Hiashi's jaw tightened, his hands clenching into fists at his sides. "What if I just want to stay out of this trouble and don't want to pick any side"
"Just as the wheat and its chaff are ground together, you cannot escape the fate that has already been decided for everyone in this village." Sasuke replied and continue with his voice cold and unwavering,"plus you guys always have soft spot for the higher UPS even your daughters would stand against me if this continue"
A heavy silence fell as Hiashi contemplated Sasuke's words. The weight of the decision pressed heavily upon him, his thoughts swirling in turmoil. Sasuke's display of the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan was something he could not ignore, the power radiating from the young Uchiha unsettling.
"I need time to consider," Hiashi finally said, his voice steady despite the storm raging within him. "This decision affects not just me, but every member of my clan."
Sasuke nodded, his smirk returning with a hint of amusement. "You can think much as you want,But I hope you can convince your daughters to follow me, I don't want them to become my enemy I have better plans for them."
Hearing about his daughters, Hiashi's eyes sharpened. "What plans?"
"To push their strength until they are at least stronger than the First Hokage," Sasuke said, his tone matter-of-fact.
"That's not possible," Hiashi said, shaking his head. "They are talented, but I don't think they can surpass the First Hokage."
"Indeed. If I only use a safer method, their strength could rise to around the level of the Third or Fourth Hokage," Sasuke replied, his eyes glinting with confidence.
"How?" Hiashi asked, curiosity and temptation warring within him.
"Let's say if it's the Fourth Hokage, I have a simple teleportation method and a decent weapon that should make her comparable to him," Sasuke explained. In his mind, he thought that if these girls used Apparition and weapons with their Byakugan, they would definitely be very formidable opponents.
"I will take those sisters myself. You just need to write the letter and explain," Sasuke said, pulling out a parchment and placing it on the table between them. "For now, you could pretend I have kidnapped your daughters until you're prepared to betray this village."
After a moment's hesitation, Hiashi began to write, the weight of his pen matching the burden of his decision. He completed the letters and prepared to leave, knowing that whatever choice he made would have far-reaching consequences for his clan and the entire village.
After a little more conversation, Hiashi stood up and walked toward the door. The soft click of the door closing behind him left the room filled with a heavy silence, the echoes of their discussion lingering in the air.
While Sasuke enjoyed his tea, waiting for Sakura, Hiashi arrived at his home to find a ninja wearing an ANBU mask. "Hiashi, the Hokage wants to see you."
Understanding the situation, Hiashi nodded and followed the ninja. The journey to the Hokage building was filled with a tense silence, the village seeming to hold its breath as they moved through the darkened streets. When they arrived, he waited in the dimly lit hallway, the minutes stretching out as he anticipated the Third Hokage's arrival.
When the Third Hokage finally appeared, his face creased with a fake smile, he said, "Sorry for arriving late."
As the Third Hokage questioned him about his conversation with Sasuke, Hiashi, maintaining his composure, explained that Sasuke was interested in his daughters and was also asking many high-level questions. This was the excuse they had already come up with since they couldn't say they were just drinking tea and definitely couldn't reveal anything about Sasuke.
Hearing Hiashi, the Third Hokage just said, "It's really sad. I hope this child wouldn't go in the wrong direction." He started wiping his tears. "You should take care and be a little vigilant. It would be bad if we lost someone. I will also send some ninja to monitor him. We can't let him do something wrong."
As night descended, Sasuke's thoughts turned to Sakura. In the current timeline, he had only gone out with her twice and given her some basic training. He remembered how in his previous life, after he left, she had joined him. He thought she seriously wanted to help him, so he didn't push her away, only to later almost get killed, which he did not take lightly and ended her life.
Only later did he find out she was given a mission by the elders where her parents were used as exchange. She was foolish to believe them as she left the village to stay with him so she could find the opportunity and kill him. The elders had already killed her parents since they didn't want such a situation to become public where they used someone's parents to threaten their own ninja.
As for the Fifth Hokage, she didn't help her because of her closeness with Sakura. She was not even her teacher during that time and didn't want to teach someone who might betray the village anytime.
Thinking about the ways he could handle her, why she was stupid and smart at the same time, he thought she could be fixed. He could also use similar methods as he used on Kin. He could also show her similar cases where higher-ups used the same methods.
As the matches concluded, Sakura started to look for Sasuke. Ino decided to follow her, worried that he might do something bad to her friend.
As both of them entered Uchiha land, their bodies started to get stiff as the silence pressed down on them. The path to Sasuke's house was lined with abandoned, blood-stained houses, remnants of the clan's tragic history. The eerie quiet and the chilling memories made the journey feel longer and more daunting.
As they arrived, Sasuke opened the door and invited them in. He led them to another room, the air thick with tension. Letting them sit on the sofa, he opened his mouth to speak, his eyes gleaming with unspoken plans.
