Chapter 11: Being too naive will harm Konoha

Shisui briefly explained the situation of Uchiha Raijin. In the office, Sarutobi Hiruzen took several puffs of his pipe, and his whole body was enveloped in smoke. His eyes were a bit erratic, and it was completely unclear what he was thinking.

He was half-believing about Shisui's words. Shisui was personally trained by him, with outstanding abilities but not so outstanding brains. It was very possible that the Raijin that Uchiha Shisui saw was just a performance for Shisui. From their Konoha intelligence, Uchiha Raijin's personality was deep. And in Shisui's eyes, he was just a person dedicated to the interests of the Uchiha. But to Sarutobi Hiruzen, Raijin didn't seem like that.

After Shisui finished speaking, he hesitated and said: "Hokage-sama, if Raijin really does something that harms Konoha, please leave him to me! I will do my best to deal with him!"

The scenes in the office just now made Shisui extremely heartbroken. The high-level Konoha never intended to abandon them, but the Uchiha clan wanted to go the opposite way from the Konoha high-level. What he could do now was to persuade the Uchiha clan and the Konoha high-level to integrate the clan into the village. And now Raijin was the leader of the militants, as long as this was resolved, the internal conflicts of the Uchiha clan would be easily solved.

"Shisui! Raijin is also a genius of our Konoha, I believe he will not do such a thing."

"Wherever Konoha dances, the fire will also flourish. I believe he will understand the Will of Fire sooner or later."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face suddenly sank, and he looked at Shisui with dissatisfaction.

Shisui's heart skipped a beat, he felt that he understood Raijin very well. Raijin planned to coexist with the clan, either Konoha or the clan must be destroyed. This man had never given up on launching a coup from the beginning to the end, and it was impossible for him to understand the Will of Fire.

"Please, Hokage-sama, leave Raijin to me! I am his friend and I don't want him to go to the abyss."

Shisui lowered his head deeply and said sincerely.

"Alas, in that case, I will arrange for a few Anbu to connect with you."

"You must bring this child back into our Konoha."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed and waved his hand at Uchiha Shisui.

Shisui instantly understood what it meant, and bowed respectfully: "This subordinate will take his leave!"

He turned around and bowed to the two advisors, and his figure instantly disappeared from the office.

Only the three high-level Konoha remained in the office.

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu looked at each other, they found that the matter of the Uchiha

seemed to have been inadvertently decided by Sarutobi Hiruzen!

There was no need for them to make Sarutobi Hiruzen make a decision.

They spoke, but it was as if they hadn't spoken.

Unknowingly, they were led by the nose by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

But they were already used to Sarutobi Hiruzen's operations.

Shisui had just left the Hokage Building when a dark figure stood at a corner.

"Uchiha Shisui!"

A deep voice sounded.

It was as if countless big hands behind him wanted to drag him into the abyss.

Uchiha Shisui broke out in a cold sweat and quickly turned his head to look.

"Lord Danzo!"

Uchiha Shisui lowered his head, sweating profusely.

Danzo's oppressive feeling was too strong, just one sentence almost caused him to have emotional problems.

"Tap tap!"

The crutch poked the ground.

A crisp sound could be heard. 

Shisui didn't want to do such a thing!

He didn't want to stain his hands with the blood of his own clan.

Instead, he wanted a gentler approach, one that would lead the Uchiha clan toward a brighter future.

"Hmph, cowardice!" Danzo snorted coldly, saying nothing more.

He turned and left without bothering to consider what Shisui thought.

But as he turned away, a cold smile tugged at the corner of his lips.

Danzo knew Hiruzen Sarutobi too well, having been friends for so many years.

To be honest, the moment Hiruzen moved, Danzo could predict what he was planning.

In the office, they had worked in unison, pushing Shisui to make a decision.

They all knew better than anyone that the conflict between the Uchiha clan and Konoha couldn't be resolved.

The Uchiha clan had been so oppressed by Konoha's upper echelons that they could barely breathe.

Now, the village leaders were just waiting for a legitimate reason to deal with this potential threat.

The Uchiha clan would never back down, and even if they did, Konoha still wouldn't allow them to remain.

Too naive.

Uchiha Shisui was far too naive.

Someone so naive would only bring harm to Konoha in the long run.

Once the Uchiha issue was resolved, Shisui couldn't be allowed to stay either.

"Lord Danzo, I will ensure the Uchiha clan follows the right path," Shisui said, watching Danzo's retreating figure with unwavering determination.

Reijin had already returned from the Land of Springs within two days.

If it weren't for the need to conceal his Mangekyō Sharingan, Kamui's speed could have been even faster.

It could've taken just a moment to return from the Land of Springs to Konoha.

Kamui was undoubtedly the most useful Mangekyō ability.

But for someone who possessed these eyes, it was astonishing how much time they spent causing trouble and persecuting the Uchiha.

If Reijin ever came across this person, he would be tempted to take their eyes for himself.

"Yo, you're back!" At the village gate, a white-haired man wearing a mask greeted Reijin.

"Yeah! I went to check on some business, but it seems there's quite a bit of trouble. I'll probably need to take on some missions in Konoha," Reijin replied casually with a nod.

"Business is like that—people will fight over the smallest profits," Kakashi said with a smile, pulling out two coupons from his pocket and waving them in front of Reijin. "I happen to have two discount coupons for Yakiniku Q. How about we go together?"

Reijin nodded but first went to the mission management office to submit a mission.

His own money was being earned by his own trading company, even though most of it would be taken by Konoha's taxes.

Reijin looked at the amount of money in his hand and nodded in satisfaction.

Though only about thirty percent would remain with him, earning something was better than nothing.

"You really are stingy, making sure to earn back the money you spent on the mission," Kakashi said, shaking his head as he watched Reijin counting his money.
