Chapter 4: Uchiha Shisui
It can be said that when Uchiha Fugaku came back with this news.
The Uchiha jonins who were qualified to participate in the clan's high-level gathering all had ugly faces. The hottest-tempered ones in the younger generation even directly proposed the extremely radical slogan of "coup d'état," which made Uchiha Fugaku suddenly change color and forcibly scold these people.
Those clan members also woke up one by one after Fugaku scolded them.
No more mentioning this idea; after all, it has only been a few days since the Nine-Tails Rebellion ended, and the resentment in the clan has not accumulated to the intense level in the original book, but even so, these people were still angry when they were silent.
Even the respected elders of the Uchiha clan had very serious and solemn expressions, especially after seeing the specific relocation location of the Uchiha clan and the distribution of other ninja clans in the surrounding area. They realized that the Sandaime, Shimura Danzo, and others regarded the Uchiha clan as "quasi-criminals.".
Otherwise, it is impossible to explain the distribution of the ninja clans' settlements around the Inuzuka, Aburame, Ise, and Gekko clans!
It almost surrounded the Uchiha clan in the central area.
They wanted to persuade their clan leader to reject this proposal, but considering the current situation of their clan, these elders also became cautious in their words and deeds. In the end, in that meeting, Uchiha Fugaku still reluctantly persuaded his family members with the reason of "paying attention to the overall situation.".
But how serious is this reluctance?
It can be seen from the thousands of clan members who showed different degrees of confusion, bewilderment, and anger when the news spread among the clan members after the meeting.
"This is just the first step!"
Standing outside his door, he looked at the extremely angry faces of the clan members.
Masashi also shook his head gently, thinking silently in his heart.
However, this is also the established plot in the original book that he has known for a long time, and Masashi's heart does not cause any ripples.
Instead, he walked towards the location of the elders of his lineage.
If he wants to save the Uchiha clan or even revive the power of the Uchiha clan in the past, the first step he needs to take is to expand his influence in the clan so that those people in the clan can identify with him and even follow him.
Only in this way can he smoothly implement the next plan.
Even someone as strong as Uchiha Madara still needs help. There is still a huge gap between him and this ancestor. Only by uniting the Uchiha clan better and consolidating the power of the clan completely can he achieve his goal. For this. Entering the clan's gathering is the first step. This is a very simple and important first step.
For this, he needs to pay a visit to the elders and seniors of his lineage. Having the strength to attend the meeting is one of the conditions, and letting the seniors of the family take him into the opportunity is another condition. This is a rule that has been passed down by the Uchiha clan to this day.
When Masashi came to the elder of his lineage, which can also be regarded as his uncle's house, and was led by the servant to the reception room, he found that there was already another upright figure inside. And this figure is not someone else. It was the most talented young generation in the Uchiha clan and was even called the strongest person in the Uchiha clan by some gossipers—Uchiha Shisui.
When he saw Shisui's familiar profile.
Masashi was slightly stunned.
On the contrary, Shisui showed a trace of gentle joy when he saw Masashi.
He greeted him in advance: "Masashi, long time no see. I heard from Uncle Wu a few days ago that you had some accidents and fainted. Are you feeling better now?"
Shisui was originally one of the few gentle people in the Uchiha clan. What's more, Masashi was the closest relative to Shisui in the clan. After all, if we count on the elders, Shisui's father and Masashi's father are cousins!
That is to say, their ancestors were brothers, and they were already very close clan members!
"Well, it's just overtraining; no big problem, but you must be exhausted these days."
Masashi smiled slightly, sat next to Shisui very casually, and responded softly.
"It's nothing; it's also for the clan and the village!"
Shisui still looks as gentle as Jade.
But no matter what, Shisui is just a 12-year-old boy now.
It's hard to hide his expression and emotions.
At least he can see a trace of sadness between Shisui's eyebrows.
This Uchiha genius boy has always been caught between the clan and the village and is deeply influenced by his ancestor Uchiha Jing's "Will of Fire.".
He guesses he must be very worried about this sudden incident!
You should know that in the more than one year before the Nine-Tails Rebellion, everything of the Uchiha clan was so smooth. Even though they were still suspected and feared by the Konoha high-level leaders headed by Shimura Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen, the newly appointed Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, obviously had no prejudice against their Uchiha clan.
It is said that the clan leader's wife, Uchiha Mikoto, is a close friend of the Fourth Hokage's wife, Uzumaki Kushina. Shisui has always believed that as long as the Uchiha clan follows the pace of the Fourth Hokage, they will be able to get rid of the clan's predicament. If it doesn't work, just wait for a while, as long as the Third Hokage, Shimura Danzo, and others die of old age.
The Uchiha clan can usher in a brand-new future.
However, all of this came so suddenly!
The Fourth Hokage died in battle, and the Sharingan appeared in the fox pupils during the Nine-Tails Rebellion!
It became the most direct and terrifying death warrant for their clan.
Now the top leaders are forcibly moving the Uchiha clan's base to the edge of the area. How can Shisui not see that this is the suspicion and vigilance of the top leaders, such as the Sandaime and Shimura Danzo, towards the Uchiha clan?
And then there is the atmosphere in the clan's gathering yesterday and the terrible idea proposed by some people.
It makes Shisui's heart extremely haggard.
"Well, everything has a limit, Shisui; you have to grasp the scale of it!"
Combined with the plot in the original work and the cognition of Shisui that "I" have always had.
Masashi can more or less guess what his "brother" is thinking, and at the moment, he also says so with a double meaning.
But Shisui obviously can't understand the second meaning of this sentence.
Just thinking that Masashi was showing concern, he smiled and said, "Well, don't worry, Masashi; by the way, I rarely see you come to Elder Yasuharu's house. Is there anything important today?"
