Kurenai looked at Itsuki, who was bandaged, and then turned to look at Shisui, who was also bandaged.
Hmm!
Confirmed!
Brothers!
Not just in the Uchiha clan, but in the entire Konoha, there was only this pair of Uchiha who had lost their eyes simultaneously.
Looking at these two, she didn't know why, but she always wanted to laugh.
Hurry up and put your eyes back, otherwise, every time these two appear together, she would have to hold it in.
"Yo, onii-chan, you're here too!"
Itsuki said with a smile, "How is Itachi talking nonsense? Don't you think what I said makes sense? Where's the problem? Point it out, and I'll correct it!"
Shisui 'glared' at him.
With such a fierce battle happening in the ward, he lived next door, how could he not know?
The Root ninjas were careless and even included him in the barrier when they set it up.
Mainly because Shisui was worried about Itsuki, he kept an eye on that side and immediately rushed in when he noticed the barrier.
Watching the battle, he wanted to intervene several times, but Itsuki's strength surprised him.
He compared the strength of the two and realized that unknowingly, his younger brother's strength had already surpassed his own.
At least, when facing twelve Root ninjas, he would most likely be seriously injured or even killed.
Unless he used Susanoo!
While Shisui was pondering, the battle ended, and Itsuki actually wanted to go back to sleep?
Didn't he know how dangerous he was now?
Helplessly, he secretly followed Itsuki to protect him, so he also heard what Itsuki said to Itachi.
Unlike the dazed Itachi, Shisui felt his scalp tingle.
Itsuki was shaking their beliefs, even their faith!
"Itsuki, don't talk nonsense. The Hokage has his considerations. We are just low-level ninjas. We don't understand the Hokage's thoughts, and we don't need to understand. Just obey orders."
"Wrong!"
Itsuki suddenly roared.
The loud roar startled Shisui.
The momentum he had just gathered and the cold expression on his face were all gone.
"Bang!"
Itsuki kicked the table in front of him, sending it flying.
He looked serious, clenched his fists, and said indignantly, "Konoha is my home, everyone loves it."
"Protecting Konoha is everyone's responsibility!"
"The Hokage is everyone's Hokage, not someone's or some clan's Hokage. Don't narrow your vision to a single clan. We are first and foremost Konoha ninjas, Shisui. Hasn't the Hokage told you this? Don't you understand what the Will of Fire is?"
Damn!
Shisui was dumbfounded.
A sentence Itsuki once said suddenly came to his mind: Use magic to defeat magic.
At that time, he didn't understand what it meant.
Itsuki explained it to him: You can think of it as using ninjutsu to defeat ninjutsu.
He was still a little confused at that time.
Now, he understood.
What Itsuki said was exactly what the Hokage had always told him.
Itsuki used the Hokage's words to refute him.
He couldn't object, otherwise, he would be objecting to the Hokage!
Shisui was confused.
He was cornered.
How could this be?
He was a little lost.
Could the Will of Fire be interpreted this way?
Itsuki looked at the silent Shisui and smiled slightly, "Let's abandon our narrow-minded thoughts and perspectives. From the perspective of the entire village, isn't Itachi becoming Hokage the best choice?"
"The Hokage also said that Itachi could see things from the Hokage's perspective at the age of seven. Isn't this his recognition of Itachi?"
"Overall, can you say that Itachi is a low-level ninja?"
Shisui's lips trembled, "I... I..."
"So..." Itsuki raised a finger, "Both we and the Will of Fire need Itachi to become Hokage. Whoever obstructs this is betraying Konoha."
"You, you..."
"Alright, I understand!"
Itachi suddenly spoke, "Brother Itsuki, Brother Shisui, I understand now."
"Good that you understand!"
Itsuki looked at Itachi with relief, "Good boy, remember, as long as the Uchiha have a Hokage, all problems will be easily solved!"
In his heart, he added two words: Bullshit!
The Uchiha could never have a Hokage.
Hiruzen Sarutobi wouldn't agree!
Danzo Shimura wouldn't agree!
Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane wouldn't agree either.
As long as these four didn't agree, it could be said that having an Uchiha as Hokage would be almost as difficult as making the Uchiha extinct.
Sarutobi, Shimura, Mitokado, and Utatane.
These four clans were originally small clans, but after Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others came to power, they gradually developed into large clans in Konoha.
The Sarutobi clan was even a top-tier noble family, with three thousand Sarutobi troops!
What did they eat?
What did they drink?
What about the resources for train?
If the Uchiha, as the number one clan, came to power, would they touch the cake of these four clans?
Moreover, the suppression of the Uchiha by the four elders of Konoha was obvious to anyone who wasn't blind.
If the Uchiha became Hokage, would they retaliate?
Therefore, these four clans became the first obstacle to the Uchiha becoming Hokage.
Itsuki estimated that they had at least seven thousand ninjas!
This was just the current situation. When the original plot began, their number of ninjas would expand dramatically.
Besides.
The resources of Konoha were almost completely divided, leaving no room for any clan to take a step further!
Therefore, in the original story, after the Third Hokage died, the two elder advisors, Mitokado and Utatane, wanted to push Jiraiya to the position, and later it was Tsunade who took over.
Because both Jiraiya and Tsunade were alone.
They wouldn't touch the cake in the hands of others.
The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, and the Sixth Hokage, Kakashi Hatake, were the same.
Besides them, was there really no one else suitable for Hokage?
How was that possible!
Choza Akimichi of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio was also a veteran.
Shikaku Nara was also qualified!
However, as the heads of large clans, they could never become Hokage.
What did all of this have to do with Itsuki?
Whether the Uchiha became Hokage or not had nothing to do with him.
He had his own plan and was implementing it step by step.
Letting Uchiha Itachi compete for the Hokage position was just to make the chaos even more intense.
When things got chaotic, his plan would be easier to implement!
"Becoming Hokage?" Itachi smiled slightly and said, "That's something for the future. Right now, I have more important things to do."
"Hmm?"
These words even stunned Itsuki.
Let alone Shisui, who was already doubting his life after being hit by Itsuki's words.
"More important things?"
"Yes!" Itachi said with determination, "I want to be the clan leader, the clan leader of the Uchiha!"
"Crack!"
Shisui's jaw dropped.
What did Itachi just say?
Did he hear wrong?
The current clan leader of the Uchiha was Itachi's father, Fugaku Uchiha.
He had been the clan leader for quite some time.
Although he had no outstanding achievements during his tenure, he had not made any mistakes either.
Overall, the Uchiha were quite satisfied with him.
The most important thing was that he had enough strength!
And he was only forty years old this year.
No, to be precise, he hadn't even had his fortieth birthday yet, he was thirty-nine years old.
For a ninja, he was in his prime.
He wouldn't say it out loud, but leading the clan for another five or six years would be a piece of cake.
Itachi saying this now, did he want to rebel against his father?
