PUA Tactics on Uchiha Shisui

"Hey, did you hear? Uchiha clan leader won the battle."

"I thought he was just bluffing, but turns out he's really capable."

"We've been fighting for so many years in Konoha, only seeing death before, but this time we actually won. It's amazing."

"What nonsense are you talking about? When did we ever lose in Konoha?"

"Oh, right. When the Third Hokage led us, we've always been mourning the dead. It's the first time we've seen living heroes. It feels weird."

"Nonsense. Weren't the Legendary Sannin and Hokage Tobirama also heroes?"

"Yeah, you're right."

"Exactly."

...

"That's how it is."

In the Land of Hot Springs, Uchiha Toki said meaningfully to Shisui,

"If the Uchiha clan wants to regain a foothold in Konohagakure, we must break the old and build the new.

You think this is a conflict between the Uchiha clan and the villagers? No! This is a historical issue left over from the Senju clan.

Tobirama Senju suppressed and excluded the Uchiha clan because many of his brothers died at their hands. That guy had a really small mind.

However, as the younger brother of Hashirama Senju, he still had some strength. Therefore, although he didn't like the Uchiha clan, he didn't secretly attack them. He just tied the Uchiha clan to the Konohagakure Police Force to weaken our strength."

Toki glanced at Shisui and continued,

"Of course, there's also the strategy of appeasing a group of Uchiha clan members who desire peace."

Shisui was momentarily stunned, realizing immediately that Toki was referring to his grandfather, Uchiha Kagami.

Toki said,

"If previously it was just being wary of the Uchiha clan, but when the position of Hokage was passed to Hiruzen Sarutobi, things changed."

Shisui was puzzled,

"How did they change?"

Toki explained,

"You have to understand, Hiruzen Sarutobi is just an ordinary person. Although he developed the Five Release Ninjutsu through the Sealing Book and diligent research, he's still just an ordinary person.

Among the Five Kage, there's no doubt that Hiruzen Sarutobi is the weakest, which is why he always stays in Konoha and doesn't dare to go to the front lines.

There's no other reason, he's simply not strong enough.

The Kages of the other villages, which one of them doesn't have a bloodline limit, or at least belongs to a family with a secret technique or a Jinchuriki?

However, what about Hiruzen Sarutobi?

Apart from the so-called simultaneous release of several different attribute ninjutsu, which he beautifully calls composite ninjutsu, he has nothing special to offer.

Are there ninjas with different attribute ninjutsu on the battlefield? Do you really think others can't combine them?

True geniuses combine chakra into bloodline limits, Kekkei Genkai, and Kekkei Tota.

And he calls this composite ninjutsu, look at the difference.

The Sarutobi clan is a fire release family, and most people have fire release naturally, and occasionally some have two chakra attributes.

One of the marks of becoming a Jonin ninja is to have multiple chakra attributes.

And Hiruzen Sarutobi, an ordinary Jonin with nothing special, managed to develop five chakra attributes through the convenience of being the Hokage. It can't be said that he is completely useless, he still has the strength of a Kage.

Plus the five-element ninjutsu recorded in the Sealing Book, he successfully gave himself the title of a ninjutsu instructor who can supposedly counter any attribute ninjutsu.

In fact, Kakashi, as a natural seven-attribute chakra wielder, easily surpassed him with his Sharingan that can copy ninjutsu.

It's just a pity that the Mangekyo Sharingan takes too much chakra, which directly limits his strength. "

After hearing Toki's evaluation, Shisui's eyes twitched a bit,

"The Third Hokage's strength... is still very strong."

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi was in his prime, using the Five Elements Ninjutsu at the max. His strength was comparable to the Edo Tensei state in the Fourth Ninja War, at most, his endurance was slightly inferior to the Edo Tensei state.

In the Fourth Ninja War, a total of four Hokage were summoned. Three of them went to fight high-end battles, and only he was left to be the cannon fodder, which was simply embarrassing for Konoha.

Toki didn't continue to argue with Shisui about whether Hiruzen Sarutobi's strength was considered strong.

He just continued to brainwash Shisui:

"Strong? Maybe compared to a regular Jonin. But amongst Kage, he's scraping the bottom of the barrel. He doesn't have the Dust Release of the Tsuchikage, the Magnet Release of the Kazekage, nor does he have a body as strong as the Raikage, let alone Yagura who was a Jinchuriki. "

This weakling holding such a high position with no matching strength naturally feels a strong sense of threat towards a ninja clan stronger than him. So, he began to deliberately suppress the clans and weaken their power.

"So he started deliberately suppressing ninjas and weakening their strength.

You know the fate of the Senju clan. If it weren't for Jiraiya and Orochimaru risking their lives to save them, the entire Senju clan probably wouldn't even have Tsunade left. Why do you think Tsunade left the village? To just wait around and die?

The Uzumaki clan was destroyed, and Konoha gained a complete set of sealing arts plus a pure-blood Uzumaki. There were quite a few Uzumaki clansmen who escaped from Uzushiogakure, but have you seen any of them come to seek refuge in Konoha?

In the Third Ninja War, all villages went all out, even being pushed to the Kikyōga Mountain, but in the end, when the other side surrendered, they signed an unconditional peace treaty, claiming it was for peace.

Nonsense, do you believe such a lame excuse? Why do you think the Third Hokage stepped down from the Hokage position? Wasn't it because all the ninja clans forced him?"

Toki leans in, his voice serious

"So, Shisui, remember this. You are a member of the Uchiha clan. I don't expect you to always think from the Uchiha's perspective, but you need to have your own judgment. Don't be blind to right and wrong, don't confuse black and white.

Take this mission for example. I did it so that our Uchiha clan could reintegrate with Konohagakure. What use is it to coexist peacefully with Hiruzen and his lot? Won't they still suppress us when they get the chance? Stab us in the back when we're not looking?

The ones who maintain stability in Konohagakure are the villagers who take on the basic tasks. Only by making them admire the Uchiha can we truly restore the Uchiha's glory. Having an Uchiha become Hokage isn't a dream!

As for the opinions of Hiruzen Sarutobi's faction? They don't matter! As long as we are strong enough, they'll have no choice but to listen and obey. Remember, peace is for the villagers, not for Hiruzen Sarutobi's personal gain. Even if I launched a coup d'état and replaced the entire Konohagakure administration, it would only target the corrupt higher-ups. It wouldn't affect the villagers' peace at all."

Shisui: "???"

Toki places a hand on Shisui's shoulder.

"Furthermore, the original purpose of Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju in founding Konohagakure was so that their clansmen's children wouldn't have to participate in wars. That's the true meaning behind the establishment of Konohagakure."

Toki looks at Shisui earnestly

"Think about it carefully, Shisui."

Shisui frowns and falls into deep thought.

A pleasant chime resonates in Toki's mind.
