"Heh…" Uchiha Akira let out a mocking smile as he looked at the results of the latest life simulation.
So, is this the reality? The higher-ups of Konoha are truly adept at internal strife but inept in external conflicts, aren't they?
No matter how you look at it, the Uchiha clan is the most powerful clan in Konoha!
Even after using Kotoamatsukami to control Clan Leader Fugaku and pushing the entire clan to launch a coup with an unyielding stance, the goal was to force the Konoha leadership to back down!
After all, the reason Konoha's leaders had been pressuring the Uchiha was because the Uchiha kept retreating, pushing them to the edge of a cliff!
But in the end, even with such a strong stance from the Uchiha clan, Konoha refused to back down and instead mobilized the entire village to suppress them?
If the higher-ups in Konoha had always been so decisive, that would be one thing.
But look at the original story: when the Hidden Cloud Village came to Konoha and kidnapped Hinata Hyuga, Konoha ended up offering up Hizashi Hyuga's life to settle the matter?
They act meekly toward outsiders but strike hard against their own?
They would rather give in to foreign enemies than to their own people?
Or is it that the Uchiha clan's coup threatened their own interests, making it intolerable?
But sacrificing the life of a Hyuga member didn't matter since it wasn't their own loss?
Shaking his head, Uchiha Akira was already too weary to criticize the Konoha leadership any further.
Spending 100,000 ryō on a life simulation, and trying to rely solely on the Uchiha clan's strong stance to force Konoha to back down, was clearly an impossible task!
It seems that another approach will be necessary!
However, after seeing this in the simulation, it became clear that even with a trump card like Kotoamatsukami, changing the outcome of the Night of the Uchiha Massacre was no simple feat!
As for Obito, Uchiha Itachi didn't allow Akira to contact him, likely because he didn't want Akira to get involved in the massacre.
Perhaps Akira's existence was Shisui's backup plan?
And what about Danzo? He has Shisui's other Mangekyō Sharingan!
Trying to use Kotoamatsukami against him would be like trying to pierce a shield with its own spear!
Moreover, the Third Hokage is also aware of Kotoamatsukami's existence!
After Shisui's suicide and the loss of his eyes, the Third Hokage knew that this deadly technique was in the hands of the Uchiha clan!
So, whenever an Uchiha member meets him, he would be on guard against Kotoamatsukami.
Therefore, it's impossible to use Kotoamatsukami to control Obito, Danzo, or the Third Hokage!
So, who could be controlled to change the course of events?
Koharu Utatane? Homura Mitokado?
Forget it! These so-called Hokage advisors are only capable of throwing their weight around during Tsunade's tenure as the Fifth Hokage!
In front of the Third Hokage and Danzo, they're practically invisible, with no real influence!
So, what method could change the outcome of the Uchiha massacre?
Or rather, who has the power to reverse the massacre?
Uchiha Itachi, the key player?
Forget it, Itachi was indeed involved in the massacre, but he was just a tool!
The real masterminds behind the massacre were Uchiha Obito and the Konoha leadership!
Even without Itachi, the Konoha leadership would have found another way to carry out the massacre!
It's so difficult!
After this first life simulation, Uchiha Akira deeply realized just how difficult it was to change the tragic outcome of the Night of the Uchiha Massacre.
Even with a trump card like Kotoamatsukami, it was incredibly challenging!
In the end, it all comes down to strength.
If I had the overwhelming power of Madara, there would be no need to think so much—I could just crush everything in my path!
Shaking his head, Uchiha Akira cast aside these thoughts.
Danzo, Obito, the Third Hokage—none of them seem like viable options for finding a breakthrough.
Who else has the power to change everything?
After pondering for a moment, Uchiha Akira considered: perhaps Nagato could have the power to suppress everything?
After all, aside from the lingering will of the Sage of Six Paths, Nagato's power should be at the pinnacle of the ninja world right now, right?
The power of the Rinnegan…
Wait, forget it!
Just as he thought of Nagato, Uchiha Akira quickly shook his head.
Is Kotoamatsukami powerful? Yes, it's incredibly strong!
But could the Kotoamatsukami of the Mangekyō Sharingan really twist the will of a Rinnegan wielder?
Thinking it through, Uchiha Akira realized that the chances of that happening were probably slim.
As for Orochimaru?
Forget it! Even though he's a Kage-level powerhouse!
But the alliance between the Konoha leadership and Uchiha Obito to annihilate the Uchiha clan isn't something a single Kage-level figure could overturn!
"Could it be? Even with the trump card of Kotoamatsukami, I still can't change all of this?"
After going over all his thoughts, Uchiha Akira couldn't find a suitable target and shook his head in frustration.
No matter how powerful Kotoamatsukami is, it can only control one person.
And a single person might not have much impact in this situation!
Wait, hold on, I have an idea…
