Chapter 18: The Problem of Mobility
"Well, of course, I wanted to speak in support of you at the clan meeting just now, but I didn't find the right opportunity. I will support your opinion. Not only Elder Yasuharu, but also the clan leader, I think will agree with you. Let's work together to change the situation of the clan! Masashi!"
Shisui's pupils sparkled, and his whole body seemed to exude a special aura. He looked up and looked directly at Masashi in front of him, and said with a little excitement.
This is his companion.
Not only does he value the feelings of the clan, but also the righteousness of the village.
Shisui, who had always felt very lonely and even worried, seemed to be greatly comforted at this moment. The joy revealed in his words was so obvious that Shisui almost had the urge to blurt out everything he had, but he was forced to hold it back in the end.
It's not that Shisui doubted Masashi.
It's just that some words are not so easy to say.
The most important thing is that it involves Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage.
Shisui felt that he still needed to consider more, and he needed to obtain the approval and consent of the Third Hokage before he could do so.
Therefore, Shisui also forced himself to suppress his emotions at this moment.
He didn't say the last words.
Masashi seemed to be infected by Shisui's words, and his face was excited.
"Well! With your support, I will be more confident. Let's work together to save the reputation of the clan!"
"Ah!"
Masashi and Shisui put their arms together as if they were swearing at each other.
Under the glow of the evening.
The two people's shadows were also stretched very long at this moment.
The conversation between the two did not last too long, or, to be more precise, Shisui did not have that much time to stay here. As the strongest person in the clan now and the only spy planted in the Uchiha clan by the third generation of Hokage, Shisui's actions were very noticeable to others. It was okay for a short while, but once it took a little longer, it would easily arouse suspicion from others.
In the original work, when the news of Uchiha Shisui's suspected suicide spread among the clan.
Uchiha Yasuharu, Uchiha Tsubaki, and other clan members who were originally Fugaku's most trusted went directly to question Uchiha Itachi, the son of the clan leader. It can be seen how strong Shisui's presence in the clan is. Of course, Shisui is a little worse now; after all, he is only 12 years old, but because of his outstanding performance in the Third Ninja World War, when the clan members did not know that their clan leader Fugaku had already opened the Mangekyō Sharingan.
A considerable number of clan members already call Shisui the strongest person in the clan.
Every move of this 12-year-old boy.
It is bound to touch the hearts of many people.
Therefore, after getting the answer he wanted from Masashi, Shisui left in a hurry. He not only had to go to some clan members but also had to take time to report the corresponding news to the Third Hokage. Especially the latter, Shisui couldn't wait to let the Third Hokage know that there were still more people in their Uchiha clan who inherited the will of fire passed down by the first Hokage!
Especially the sentence 'Uchiha will always be Konoha's Uchiha!'
This is a statement that can show their clan's position.
Reverse the plight of the clan.
Start from this point, from this matter.
This is the determination deep in Uchiha Shisui's heart at this moment.
Leaving Masashi alone and watching Shisui's leaving back, a hint of pity and guilt was faintly revealed in the depths of his pupils.
The truth is almost a lie.
In the explanation just now, there was not a single word that Masashi said to deceive Shisui, but he was also reserved. Those ideas and plans were indeed ways that Masashi came up with to save the family from the crisis, but these were only preliminary measures. If he could not move the blade, he could eliminate the crisis of the family's destruction. Masashi was naturally unwilling and could not start a civil war. There was no question of whether he could bear it or not. He just looked at this issue purely from the perspective of the level of risk.
Although the Uchiha clan was strong.
Even if he opened the Mangekyō Sharingan, he could not resist the overall power of Konoha. The root controlled by the Anbu directly under the Third Hokage and Danzo was enough to make the Uchiha clan drink a pot. In addition, if the Uchiha clan started a rebellion, it would almost put itself in the position of the common enemy of the whole village.
Masashi did not think that their Uchiha clan could fight against the entire ninja village.
Even if Shisui and Fugaku stood firmly on the side of the clan, and even if Uchiha Itachi did not become a traitor after opening the Mangekyō Sharingan, the result of a head-on confrontation would at most seriously damage Konoha's vitality, and the Uchiha clan would still be destroyed.
Don't think that the Mangekyō Sharingan is invincible.
Not everyone has the power and strength of Uchiha Madara.
There is a clear gap between Mangekyō and Mangekyō and between Uchiha and Uchiha!
Not to mention Madara after he obtained the Eternal Eye or even the Samsara Eye.
Even among ordinary Mangekyō Sharingans of the same level, Fugaku, Shisui, and Masashi, who have opened their eyes to the clan now, can't even reach half the strength of their ancestor Uchiha Madara.
To put it bluntly, Fugaku, Shisui, and Masashi can only be regarded as the most ordinary Kage-level strongmen. Masashi may be a little short of it. The Mangekyō Sharingan is certainly a representation of strength, but it does not mean that you must be at the Kage level if you open the Mangekyō Sharingan. The strength of a ninja depends on comprehensive data, such as personal physical strength, speed, chakra limit, mental strength, etc.
This is why it is so easy.
Masashi will never take the "coup" as the first plan.
The risk is too high, and the hope of survival is too low. Seeking the understanding and trust of various ninja clans and then letting Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo, and others see the "sincerity" and "courage" of their Uchiha clan is the best solution in the current situation.
Of course, the worst plan should also be prepared.
Masashi has never been the kind of person who chooses to give up when others put a knife on his neck.
If it comes to the worst situation.
Masashi will do everything he can to destroy everything!
In the end, unlike the conservative Fugaku and the peaceful Shisui, Masashi has always had two plans in his heart since the first night.
The determination will not waver!
Next,
'It's a matter of everyone's ability to act!'
Masashi took a deep look at the place where Shisui left.
He also turned around and jumped back to his place.
