Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 236 Discussion

Actually, there's another reason, which Toshiro didn't explicitly state.

The Uchiha clan had already missed their best opportunity to become Hokage.

If Madara hadn't caused trouble, the Uchiha clan would have had a sliver of hope of becoming the Second Hokage.

Even if it's not the Second Hokage, surely the Uchiha clan could try to become the Third Hokage?

With Madara around, anything is possible.

This guy, however, was fooled by the stone tablet left behind by Black Zetsu and became a rogue ninja. He even turned around and attacked Konoha.

All of this vanished into thin air.

Now, with the emergence of a large number of civilian ninjas, their combined power is enough to put the future Fourth Hokage on the throne.

During the First Shinobi World War, clan ninjas were the mainstays. By the Second Shinobi World War, clan ninjas and commoner ninjas were evenly split.

Now, they are ordinary civilian ninjas, making up the majority of the ninja community.

It would be extremely difficult for Konoha to produce another Hokage from a prominent clan.

Unless there is a power to suppress everything.

"Even if what they say makes sense... with the family's bloodline limit... these are not problems..."

As Toshiro asked the question, Uchiha Tekka's voice grew softer and softer.

He clearly knew that with the power of his family alone, it was impossible to ignore the existence of those people.

"Even so, with the strength of the Fugaku clan head..."

"I think the focus shouldn't be on this at all. What we should be more concerned about is Kakashi possessing the family's Sharingan!"

Before Uchiha Tetsuka could finish speaking, Toshiro interrupted him, and his words immediately changed the expression of Uchiha Fugaku, who had just breathed a sigh of relief.

"Toshiro! This was Obito Uchiha's wish; we should respect the deceased's decision!"

Fugaku hadn't expected things to take such a turn; he had just been thankful that the other party hadn't been as aggressive as Tetsuo.

Now this has happened to me.

"Fugaku-senpai, a single two-tomoe Sharingan is nothing to your clan! That's not the point at all!"

"So what do you mean?"

This confused Fugaku Uchiha, since the Sharingan wasn't the main point.

What is the key point?

"Compared to that Sharingan, what we should be more wary of is that a mere medical chunin successfully performed a Sharingan transplant under the tense environment of a battlefield!"

"And Kakashi Hatake, who doesn't have Uchiha blood, adapted to this Sharingan quite well, without any setbacks along the way!"

"What this means is probably self-evident!"

Before Fugaku Uchiha could ask any more questions, Toshiro spoke his mind.

"..."

As soon as Toshiro finished speaking, the entire shrine fell silent.

During the Warring States period, no ninja clan dared to transplant the Sharingan of the Uchiha, because if they did so, they would face relentless pursuit and death from the Uchiha.

Apart from the Senju, no other clan could withstand the wrath of the Uchiha.

Moreover, medical ninjutsu was not very advanced at that time, and there were very few medical ninjas who could perform eye transplant surgery.

However, by the time the ninja village era arrived, there were many large ninja villages, and the Uchiha clan was powerless to stop them.

Furthermore, with the development of medical ninjutsu over the years, how could they not be on guard when a 12-year-old girl accomplished something like this?

Otherwise, the members of the Uchiha clan would have to be extremely careful every time they went on a mission.

Anyone in the Uchiha clan present who thought about it for even a moment would understand the meaning behind Toshiro's words.

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

"How about... we... take this Sharingan back?"

After a long silence, someone finally broke the silence.

His opening remarks immediately garnered everyone's approval.

"Excellent! Excellent!"

"The Sharingan is indeed not suitable for non-family members!"

"We're doing this for his own good. Without the Uchiha bloodline, he can't use the Sharingan at all; it would only become a burden."

"We still need to retrieve this Sharingan, otherwise, the consequences will be endless."

In Toshiro's view, this aspect accounted for a large part of the reason why the Uchiha clan was later wiped out.

Although he didn't know whether "Kage" had already had Sharingan transplanted into his eyes, a very important reason why the other party would wipe out the Uchiha clan in the future was to collect the Sharingan from the clan members.

As for Kakashi, the guy who always has a Sharingan sticking out of his head, no one can say for sure what role he played in all of this.

If this prompts the family to develop some targeted countermeasures, the future of their clansmen might change.

"Toshiro! You were the one who brought this up. Do you have any good solutions?"

Upon seeing the clansmen still gossiping, Fugaku Uchiha posed the question to Toshiro, asking him to provide a better solution.

After all, Obito himself gave away this Sharingan, and forcibly taking it back would cause considerable trouble for the clan.

Obito Uchiha really caused a lot of trouble for the clan.

"Since this Sharingan was given to Kakashi Hatake by Obito as a congratulatory gift for his Jonin promotion, we really shouldn't be too forceful... How about we choose a different gift!"

"We heard that Kakashi Hatake's White Fang short sword was damaged during this mission, so we'll give him another chakra weapon. If he's not satisfied, the clan has no shortage of S-rank ninjutsu and secret techniques."

"Also, to prevent the worst-case scenario, we need to make some preparations in advance."

The most crucial thing is to make some preparations in advance. If the family has a sealing technique similar to "Caged Bird Seal," it can cause the Sharingan of a family member to die directly.

The incident where their clansmen were murdered and had their eyes stolen should not happen.

The chances of that happening in the future should be greatly reduced.

"Is that so... I hope it will work!"

Faced with Toshiro's proposed solution, Fugaku Uchiha nodded. He was quite satisfied with this relatively mild solution.

If this solution can be achieved, it would be a satisfactory one for the family, the village, and Kakashi Hatake.

However, there is still one problem, which is what Toshiro mentioned: taking some targeted preventative measures...

Kakashi's Sharingan will remain with him.
