Chapter 10: I Believe Shisui

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu's faces twitched.

They didn't expect Sarutobi Hiruzen to arrange for someone to eavesdrop.

But it didn't matter, their attitude towards the Uchiha in the village

had long been regarded as the lifelong enemy of the Uchiha clan.

Since Sarutobi Hiruzen liked to play the good guy, they didn't mind.

"Uchiha Shisui, I've said it before, the Uchiha clan is beyond saving, what you're doing now is futile, I believe you should have seen the true face of the Uchiha in these years, right?"

At this time, Danzo spoke, one eye staring at Shisui who was kneeling there.

The darkness in his eyes, just by looking at it, made people feel like they had fallen into darkness.

This deep temperament can only be possessed by Danzo, who acts as the dark side in the village.

"..."

Shisui fell silent, he didn't know how to answer Danzo's question.

In his opinion, the Uchiha still had the possibility of being saved.

Patriarch Fugaku is biased towards Konoha, although there are also militants advocating rebellion, but they have never taken action.

Even after Raijin became the leader of the militants, he is now restraining himself and rarely fights with the people of Konoha.

Shisui felt that there was still some hope.

As long as...

As long as the Uchiha can be truly accepted by Konoha, that's enough.

Now Shisui has only one obsession in his heart, that is to let the Uchiha take a step back and let Konoha successfully accept them.

"Danzo! The Uchiha are also a part of our Konoha."

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and looked at Danzo.

"Hiruzen, you are too indecisive, the Uchiha has now become the biggest hidden danger in Konoha, if it is not resolved, Konoha will continue to fight internally, and the disputes will not stop."

"Now the four major countries outside are eyeing our village, what if the Uchiha rebel during the war? Can you bear the responsibility, Hiruzen? Can anyone stop the Uchiha?"

Danzo slammed the table, looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen with an expression of hating iron for not becoming steel.

This roar made Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu stunned, and they couldn't react for a while.

It made Shisui flustered, and this passage directly made Shisui speechless for a long time.

The rhetoric that was originally prepared in his heart was instantly forgotten.

"No, Elder Danzo, the Uchiha clan will not do such a thing."

"Uchiha Shisui, can you guarantee it? Can you guarantee that the Uchiha clan will not do anything that harms Konoha?"

"..."

Shisui fell silent, feeling extremely anxious.

But facing Danzo's sharp words, he couldn't utter a word for a long time.

"Enough, Danzo! Shisui said that the Uchiha will not betray Konoha, I believe Shisui's judgment." Sarutobi Hiruzen interrupted Danzo who was about to continue.

"Hiruzen, this is the Uchiha..."

"No need to say more, I believe Shisui."

Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped Danzo from continuing.

And Shisui looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen gratefully, he didn't expect that the person who cared about the Uchiha the most was actually the Hokage-sama.

It seems that the high-level Konoha has always wanted to integrate the Uchiha clan into Konoha.

But the Uchiha have always stayed in their past glory, with arrogance in their hearts, and have never integrated into the village from the beginning to the end.

Shisui didn't know what to do, with the clan on one side and the village on the other.

He didn't want to use drastic measures, he just wanted the village to accept the Uchiha clan.

"Humph! Hiruzen, your weakness will ruin you! You will regret it!" Danzo snorted coldly with a gloomy face.

"Slap!"

"Enough! Danzo! I'm the Hokage!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen shouted angrily.

He didn't care that a junior was still here.

Danzo took a deep look at Sarutobi Hiruzen and Uchiha Shisui, and left directly, slamming the door behind him.

This scene, to be honest! 

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu's faces twitched. They didn't expect Sarutobi Hiruzen to have someone eavesdropping nearby. But it didn't matter, their attitude towards the Uchiha in the village had long been regarded as the lifelong enemy of the Uchiha clan. Since Sarutobi Hiruzen liked to play the good guy, they didn't mind.

"Shisui, Danzo used to be teammates with Kagami, so he has high expectations for the Uchiha clan, but..."

Saying this, Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head, as if it was difficult to continue. The incident with Uchiha Kagami back then has become a mystery in the ninja world. Shisui had only heard a little about it, and many Uchiha didn't know about it. Even Patriarch Fugaku didn't understand the inside story. He only knew that Kagami disappeared when the Third Hokage ascended to the position of Hokage.

"It's the Uchiha clan who failed to live up to Lord Danzo's expectations!" Shisui lowered his head deeply and said guiltily. He didn't expect that Lord Danzo once had expectations for the Uchiha. But the Uchiha clan didn't notice, and even went their own way. So that's why Elder Danzo was disappointed, so that's why he spoke harshly?

"But it's good enough that this generation has you, who inherited Kagami's will!" Sarutobi Hiruzen comforted. His face was full of compassion, and Shisui looked up, feeling warmth in his heart.

"Actually, Hokage-sama, I think he can also help us." Shisui hesitated and said.

"Who?"

"Itachi! The son of Patriarch Fugaku, I met him by accident and found that he was also looking for a way to integrate the Uchiha into Konoha, so I implore Hokage-sama to let him help me together."

Shisui's eyes were shining, he believed that Itachi was the only one who could make the Uchiha integrate into Konoha. After all, he is the young patriarch of the Uchiha clan and will definitely become the patriarch of the Uchiha clan in the future. If he is favored by Hokage-sama now, it will definitely alleviate a lot of trouble with Konoha.

"Itachi? I've noticed him before! He's a good kid, bring him over later and let me see!" Sarutobi Hiruzen was not surprised at all, how could he not know the famous genius of the Uchiha clan. He also had the idea of taking him under his wing, but he couldn't just contact the young patriarch of the Uchiha clan, he could only look for opportunities. Now that Shisui brought it up, it was the best time, and he would be directly recruited into the Anbu.

"Okay, let's talk about Uchiha Raijin!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen brought the topic back to Raijin. Uchiha Raijin's actions were too unpredictable. He had never been involved in the disputes in Konoha. But somehow he became the leader of the militants. Now that he has begun to show his prominence, Sarutobi Hiruzen found that he knew too little about this Uchiha Raijin. What they knew was probably just the disguise this person had been putting on all along.

"Raijin... Raijin has always wanted to make the Uchiha prosperous again, to let the Uchiha return to their former glory..."

Shisui hesitated and didn't reveal the private conversation he had with Raijin. Those words might directly cause Konoha's hostility towards the Uchiha.
